It was the 6th Of February 2010, location – Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, the event- Company's Annual Dinner.
I’m not really a big fan of company’s annual dinner; normally it would be some lame and themed-ish dinner party. My company is a huge public listed and huge organization. This year, non exceptional, those ‘clever’ team up there, organize another themed – Dress as your favorite character in a blockbuster movie. I have to admit, with my ideas & creativity and of course those Ringgit & cents. I can come out with so many character I would dress as-
1st option – Julia Robert in Pretty Woman- how hard can it be, tank top, micro minis leather skirts, knee high boots and a blonde bob wig. Wualahh! I’m a whore!
2nd Option- Zoe Saldana as Neytiri Dis’kahan Eiytey- the recent made famous Princess of Navi from the mega blockbuster Avatar. Now this is tricky, I have to be slim, nice portion boobs, long long legs ,braided hair ala getho afro gurlfren, and check this out , my body in blue paint/body make up, feline light brown hazel blonde contact lens- that would be a lot of money to think of
3rd option- Kim Cantral as Samantha Jones of the Sex and The City– her motto is simple – SEX,SEX,SEX,SEX and More SEX! Anything accentuate the body figure- take note on those crucial areas- breast, legs and buttocks- this must be viewable and must also scream-FUCK ME DEEP & HARD! This would requires me to wear designers label- anything by Versace, Gucci, Dior, Prada , Balmain or even Lanvin. Shoes- must not be anything less than 5 inch Fuck me pumps, kitten heels or strappy stilettos- this would only means- Louboutin, McQueen, Zanotti, Blhanik or Choos
4th Option- Audrey Tatou – Coco Avant Chanel. This would be the best best option, stripes top and black homme pants. Oxford shoes- Light make up, simple hair-do channeling Coco Gabrielle Chanel.
And we have a winner! Option 4
I wasn’t really looking forward for this year annual dinner, but an email changed my mind – list of performers – Faizal Tahir, Adibah Nor and OMG! OMG! Dato’ Sheila Majid. How excited I was!!! I mean the last time I saw her performing live was in 2008 during the IJN Charity concert. With this motivations- Annual dinner is a must for me to attend.
As excited as I was, I tried ways to actually make a point to ensure I have back stage passes to meet Dato’ Sheila, and I saw in my blackberry messenger- Azman my own angel ☺ who made my dream came true one more time. He knew how I’m fanatic fan I am, and I was messaging him, literally begging him to send my wishes to Dato’ to meet her in person on the event night.
Azman shares me the good news a few days before my trip to KL. I will be meeting the Queen again- personally-
Level of excitement to attend the annual dinner have just shoot up to 100%
Ok, ok…Once I reached KL, I decided to get me some good karma points, by making an effort to help my friend’s mom sending packages all the way from Kuching for him. The check in system at the hotel I’m staying is absolutely horrible, usually I would be crazy bitch, but that day, I was controlling my emotions and be decent for once and compromising (which I never thought I have the strength to do be so tolerant ) and also I asked mom to bake kek lapis and bring them as a gift for my ex colleague and best buddy, who later turned make up artise, hair stylist and stylist for my annual dinner. It was catching up with Elza, she’s prettier than ever. Over the hair-make-up –styling period,we talked about our favorite topics- boys,boys,boys and more boys . She gave me a cute 3 inch open toe kitten heels for me to wear that night.
Blablabla…I’m now at the dinner event, predictable enough, the protocol is an usual yearly thing that’s getting older and older. Dinner was so-so, but I was more eager to meet my Queen. More foods and light entertaintment, and of course more cam whore sessions. It’s fun to catch up with old friends from the HQ. But I have quite a tough time explaining my look and my supposed to be character I dress as , although everyone was expecting me to be outrageous and superb. But I was not , I don’t seriously care though.
As Coco Chanel would say- wear something that you're comfortable in, not wear what people wants you to wear.
It was half past 10 in the evening, I received a blackberry message from Azman,
Ratu is ready to meet me the princess(ok, that was a complete ad-lib from me :P)
I was so happy to meet Azman, the last time I met him was a year ago. We exchanged hugs , he then brought me to backstage and into a private lift, which appears to be a private room reserved for performers.
I entered the room, and the Queen herself right infront of me greeting profusely and so so so elegantly. This must how Lady Gaga feels when she meets the Queen of England. Don’t get me wrong, I have met Sheila for many times, but to actually hanging out with her, sitting down, I mean ‘lepaking’ it’s a rare exceptional opportunity. I swear is like one in a million. She looks amazing, beautiful, almost flawless. She speaks in a very lady-like mode. She makes me feel so comfortable, she ensures I feel at ease, she even hold my wrist to calm me down when I admit to be shaking. She’s so accommodating, we talked for awhile , we discuss about my plan to help her get some sponsorship for her upcoming 25th Years Anniversary Celebration . I really hope my management will approve our proposal. Crossing my fingers . We promised each other to meet up again soon. I took so many pictures with her, and I actually escorted her to the backstage .
Her performance that night was absolutely amazing! That’s all I can say, pictures tells a million stories.
Dato’ Sheila Majid, you simply amazing, I will always be your loyal fan. I wished you all the best, good prayers of much love, peace and prosperity – aminn
Good luck on your upcoming performance at Jakarta Jazz Fest this 5th of March 2010.
This post is specially dedicated to the original Queen of Pop Jazz of Malaysia- Dato' Sheila Majid
