Teksi Tunai - Nada & Emira

“Jaz! Flip your channel to ASTRO PRIMA now, weih!
You wouldn’t believe this.
They’re freakin hilarious!”

I hung up the phone and immediately switched on the television.

The show:

TEKSI TUNAI (Cash Cab)

It’s a show where Bob Lokman (host) drives a cab as a normal guy.
But whoever gets in the cab, passengers, will get the chance of gaining some cash by answering some random questions.

It’s not a show that I’d normally watch,
but this time, it features my ex-schoolmates-
Nada Assilah and Emira.

And if you know Nada and Emira,
then you’ll know that putting these two together can bring some sheer hilarity into any situation.

I couldn’t remember details by details, but here’s as much that I can recall.

Some questions:

• Please complete the saying, “Don’t bite the hand that _____.”

NAD & EM:
Eh? I got no clue about this.

[Both of them took their phone and called for their father (Emira) and mother (Nada)]

BOB:
Wow, both of them are calling someone?
One is calling their father and another is calling the mother.
These are very smart kids!
Hah, pandai budak-budak ni!

NADA:
(waiting for her mother to pick up)
…. Ala, mama! Pick up the phone Pickupthephone.
Asal la masa ni jugak mama tak angkat?!?!
Why now of all times that she’s not picking it up?!?!

… Hello, ma!
…… Voice box?
M-Mama reject call saya!
M-Mom rejected my call!

• Who is David Bowie’s wife?

[Emira called her dad again]

NADA:
Ah! I see some Americans over there!
Let’s stop by and ask if they know the answer!

Excuse me mister! Do you know who’s David Bowie’s wife???

AMERICAN:
(apparently shocked seeing a girl sticking her head out of a cab’s window shouting about David Bowie)
N-No!
(shaking his head furiously)

What I’ll always find amusing though,
is their excitement when cash are flashed out in front of them.

Reaction 1:

“(Squeals) AHHHH!!! Asjaojdjiaosrqw?!?!”

Reaction 2:

Took the money and flashed it grinningly to the camera.

Reaction 3:

By the time they are RM300 richer,
they used the RM50 notes as tissues and wiped off their sweats from their face and neck.

Reaction 4:

When Bob told them that the next question is worth RM100,
they squealed like mad and started reassuring each other.

“Babe! 100 ringgit ni, b-babe!”
“I know, babe. Feuh, intense.”

BOB:
Wow, you seem very happy to be receiving some extra cash.

NAD & EM:
Of course we are!
We’re really dried out of cash!
We’re on our way to the bank actually.

-+-+-+-

By the end of the ride,
they succeeded in getting RM440.

Quite a big sum.
You can literally see their eyeballs turning into $_$

And the typical Nada would never exit a cab without making a closing line:

“OH, TERIMA KASIH GURU!”
“Oh! Thank you dear teacher!”

Nada’s - Lucky Taxi Tunai

Audition: Mystery 6

A while back, I was reminiscing back on the first audition I’ve went to.
Of course, the first audition was for SBS’s drama team.
But then I remembered about the first ever audition I went for a tv series.

Hmmm… That was way back during the middle of Form 4 (16, 2006).
It was certainly a show with a different twist than the normal local shows around.
I wonder what happened to that show…

So this evening, I googled for Razif Hashim’s name.

I stumbled into an article of him and took the initiative to search more on him.
Yeah, I’ll admit that I had a slight crush on him back from his early days as Haikal in Gol & Gincu
– That badass guy!

I googled around for him and… I found an article from Youth2 on a tv show, Mystery 6 (M6).

I read the first 2 lines, and find myself being pretty familiar with that plot.
Then I saw the words “Enid Blyton’s Secret Seven and Famous Five” and “Alfred Hitchcock’s”.

Woah! Those were the EXACT words that came out from that guy at my first audition!

I scanned through the article and confirmed that it was indeed the show that I have auditioned for!

Jaclyn Victor - Asian Idol Competition

Jac, you have done us all proud!

You delivered an absolutely great performance!

Unfortunately, it’s not superb.

I may not be as experienced in terms of singing and performing, but somehow you don’t look real when performing Gemilang.

You seemed either bored or tired.

Nervous? Anxious? Tired? Not in good health?

Smile, girl! It’s “Gemilang”!

I know, it’s a classic song of yours. But that’s exactly why you should smile!

It’s YOUR song! It’s about reaching out to your dreams and how these dreams later turns into reality, right?

Performing on such a big stage like Asian Idol has always been your dream, right?

Then enjoy the song and your moment on that big stage! Your dreams are now an actual ‘reality’!

Putting that aside, I’d like to give a big CONGRATULATIONS for Jac!

Regardless whether you win or not, you have proved to others of your capabilities and talents!

You have done Malaysia proud when you got very good criticisms from the judges. And your performance was one of the more notable ones of the night.

Although I’m rooting for Jac, it’s not entirely possible for any of us to predict the winners. As we know that their fanbase are big, but we can’t be sure of the size anymore when comparing with idols from other countries.

There are tough contenders in the Asian Idol competition.

All in all, I’m hoping that whoever wins later, really deserves the crown.

Que creates drama in ‘Oh! Lelaki!’

‘Oh! Lelaki!’ is a talk show on Ria hosted by Fara Fauzana and Nana.

This show would have 2 male celebrity guests to join them on their discussion.

On this recent episode, they invited Que Haidar and Kevin Zahari to discuss on the theme ‘Lelaki Sejati’.

Although Kevin is a health specialist, he really enjoys chocolate chip cookies.

We were presented with footage of him actually baking a batch of them.

They talked about his hobby and somehow, the name ‘Intan’ slipped off from his tongue.

As a host, it is your job to use what the artists have presented and spice up the show.

They kept on asking about Intan but Kevin kept on pushing off saying that he doesn’t know any Intan.

Of course, this all seems very fishy to us. But Kevin took responsibility of his rumors.

Nana and Que were jokingly gossiped to being a couple.

Nana attempted to block off that gossip, “Mana ada! Lagipun saya dengar yang Que ni… ni…”

And she stopped. She didn’t went on with it.

The others kept pressing her to finish the sentence.

She gave in, “Saya dengar yang Que ni… tak suka perempuan.”

Que immediately walked out of the studio.

They quickly went to a string of commercials before coming back shortly.

Nana was asked to pujuk Que. While Fara and Kevin tried to lift up the mood by crackng jokes and starting a new topic.

About 10 minutes later, Que came back in, followed behind by Nana who obviously looked flustered but relieved.

Fara finished her discussion with Kevin before coming back and casually questioning both Que and Nana about what happened.

Nana apologized to Que by shaking hands with him.

Then Que came forward with his statement. He denied the rumors that he is a homo.

Fara claimed that the ‘drama’ before was because both Nana and Que are promoting their new film together.

Kononnya displaying their intense acting skills.

Rumors are spilled out on tv.

When Kevin faced this similar problem in this episode,

although he didn’t cover it up convincingly, but he politely refused.

He reacted normally to the teasings of Intan and continued to be entertaining.

Que on the other hand, flipped out.

I was quite surprised with the reaction that Que gave out.

As for Fara’s cover up, I’m not convinced with it.

If it’s really true,

then why did Nana apologize?

And why is there not a trailer or a snippet of the movie that they were ‘promoting’?
