...aku mula mula tak minat nak tengok AF1 dan hanya minggu ke 2 baru aku tengok konsert ulangan secara tak sengaja dan kemudia mengikuti diari untuk minggu ke 3....aku terus terminat dengan NIJA dan Azizi dan aku suka cara beliau yang bersahaja dan juga bakatnya yang nampak raw tetapi penuh potential....
...so aku kat Sungai Petani masa konsert ke 3 dan tumpang tidurdi rumah kawan baik kat U aku dulu iaitu Q...aku kata kat dia if u want to prepare dinner to make sure that we have it early coz i want to watch Konsert 3 AF3......can't remember the song she sang that night but suffice to say she survived and Atie was voted out....hehehe...that point of time...i was cheering wildly seeing Atie voted out.....I did AFUNDI but not more than 10 each for NIJA and Azizi....
...well, my addiction began....my 'love affairs' with NIJA getting stronger by the day.....Diary was not to be missed and I began calling my friends to support NIJA ......
Week 5, Burn was voted out and NIJA survived after again featuring in the bottom 2 of the student percentage list before concert...I can't really recall what song she sang but the early part she sang a CT's number, Menaruh Harapan and whatever ( did not make any research before writing this)....the thing that i could clearly remember that I was basically 'in love' with NIJA and the fact that she was not having a good support that prompted me to AFUNDI more more as the week gone by.....
...I am not sure which song belongs to which week but the subsequent week NIJA was rendering Jelingan Manja, Ella's number, How do I live and ..and ....Ya Allah, I just couldn't recall the other songs that she sang....regardless, after Rosma's adventure ended, I was pretty sure that NIJA will survive since Nana will be the next target and I thought Liza will go out too...I continue to AFUNDI for NIJA and Azizi and by week 8 I was already sending more than 100 in total for both NIJA and Azizi.....but for the final, I decided to concentrate on one singer and therefore NIJA alone.....
...but the pattern of voting changes dramaticallyduring the final week for the Final Concert that NIJA was trailing vince and khai too far behind....the more I voted the more it moved backward....i went to soc.culture.mal for support ...hehehe..to no avail i guess.....and by saturday morning NIJA was at 11% and next azizi at 17% whilst khai and vince way ahead in the 20%plus bracket....Liza was the last in the list.....
.....during the final concert , NIJA performed the best with the "Selagi Ada Cinta" and " Kenangan Pahit"......her rendition of Kenangan Pahit was the highlight of the final and she was superb overall......I voted nearly 300 times for the final and because lack of experience, at least 50 votes were not counted due to sms line congestion.....
..I admittedly shed some tears when she was not placed at all that nite..( mengapalah awek aku asyik jatuh nombor 4, asyik cakap " are u ready to rock", perangai tak macam orang lain!!...sorang 'Ek Eleh' , sorang lagi 'Breep breep', dua dua orang suka bila dah nak masuk final)..tsk tsk tsk.....I could not accept the fact that she was not placed although her percentage rose to 14% which indicated that she had the highest vote for the night....I sent some sms to C@15 stating, Vince juara AF2 , NIJA juara Final.....hehehe...frust lar tuuu.....aku tak leh tidur sampai 3/4 pagi memikirkan the what if and what not......tsk tsk tsk......
...the very next day at PWTC all the student will be appearing at PWTC for some Astro family day so something like that lar......i got to know the gathering a bit late and by the time i reached PWTC they were already 3 to 4 thousand people within the small area. I could get throught he main room and waited outside only to be told the student were already ushered out from PWTC.....feeling disappointed and tired, I saw the family members of the student and eventually I met NIJA's father and mother and we spoke at lenght....I remember NIJA's mother telling us that NIJA felt that nobody voted for her and immediately I showed myhandphoenthat was showing 262 on the screen...hehehe...her mother and father was grinning knowing that their daughter was well supported......according to sources at PWTC.....the final week alone registered 2 million votes and 800k for the final nite and many were not registered because the big volume was not expected.....then Cikgu Siti hajar passed by us and later Azza's brother telling NIJA's mom that they have been called to Pan Pac Hotel.....apprently the students will be staying the night at Pan Pac we requested to meet our idol but was not granted...I gave my card to NIJA's mom and she left.....
...next i was walking back to the car park that was actually a shared car park between Pan Pac and PWTC...as I was about to reach my car I saw the door behind opened...I looked back and I couldn't believed my eyes......NIJA ??!!!...not really...but Liza and Azza walking side by side some 10 metres behind me......I turned around and greeted both of them but Astro bodyguard was heard saying " jangan dekat "....apa lagi hero hindustan aku pun naik sheikh...hehehe.." Aiiit...tak nak salam pun tak boleh"...i replied...and true to their characters, Liza and Azza came towards us and shook hand with us....or perhaps it was my irresistable charm that made them moved towards us.....hehehe.....Liza was really pretty in person and Azza equally attractive in person too....
...after all the pushing and shoving, I met the 2 AF student kat dalam car park area....huhuhu....Iit was briefed but meaningful...though I did not manage to catch a glimpse of NIJA, that special moment will linger in mind for the rest of my life...hehehe.....
...I never tried to contact NIJA although her father gave their house number which I still keep and I went to the Reunion concert and I swear Nija waved at me....or was it that child sitting high above his father's shoulder, or was it the group of NIJA's really vocal supporters on my left...well, regardless, from where i was standing, he could not miss,can she??!!!...huhuhu....

gambar terbaru Farah dan gambar Nija ...kedua dua dalam pose "uuhhh!!u r not bad Ilham"....hehehe....
...as time goes by, the memory of NIJA faded not help by the fact Maestro did not handle the student's promotion and career development professionaly....for more than a month, I waited patiently for NIJA to call my h/p.....tsk tsk tsk......nope, no call from NIJA.....
...yer know what.....I told myself I will not be stupid enough to support any more student for the Af2 and true to my promise...hehehe...i fooledmyself to highest ever possible level of foolishness in Af 2.....yeah babeh....came Farah and I was madman all over again.....
...NIJA, I have never forgotten you though I am more preoccupied with Farah nowadays...hehehe...but I was glad to hear that you are under Amy Mastura Entertainment, you survived a horrifyingcar accident and apparently you have shed your rockers image....betul ker?.....
...when i said I wasin lovewith you, I mean it with all my heart..hehehe..though the feelings is no longer the same...hehehe...those happy days will remain with me forever.....you were the light of my life during AF1, you were the princess of my heart, you made me proud of supporting and for a good 10/20 weeks I thought you were prettier that Cameron Diaz......hehehe...you do babeh!!.....
This is my tribute to NIJA in order to remove all allegations made to me that " aku nei jenis dapat madu sepah di buang"......so to all those sceptics out there....this tribute is a proof that I appreciate all the girls that roam my heart even for short while......" to all the girls I love before, who travel in and out my door "........kuhkuhkuh.....
...NIJA...I will always support you and tahnks for those beautiful memories in AF1....
