Although i felt ridiculously chic in my AIM 17 attire,

(pink songket made by Zee Eika and make up by Shu Uemura)

somehow in the photos, that lady smiling back kinda screams.....



'YO! I'm trapped in Saloma era! Get me into a current trending dress'



But i paid no attention, paying tribute to the 50's is something i needed to do;

the arts during that era was at its peak; somehow it just spoke to me.

(with Tini, Nadia, Tony and Hafiz.)



It's different watching AIM 17 this year, everyone tweeted everything that went on, stuff you blurt to your friends and family in front of the TV are now made public. Thanks twitter, you dig people's thoughts with no effort.



So I did a post AIM-17 show on Fly Fm the following morning and called Jennifer Thompson, spoke to her about (*)Kembara Award and why Bunkface deserved it and played clips of what some of my awesome music friends thought of after their win: Yuna, Hazami, Dato' Siti and more.

But what i clarified on the show as well was the little cat fight between Atilia Haron and Zee Avi.



It was all over twitter....... Atilia RT-ed a tweet posted by a friend saying Zee Avi had lipstick stained teeth because she's been a snob since she's been to US and that obviously sparked animosity from both sides.



Badabim-badaboom, Atilia told me over the phone (which I aired on FLY FM), that although she has apologized via DM and email, Zee Avi blocked her on twitter.



Now this is not the first time i've heard of Zee Avi snubbing people, i could safely say, it's a known 'rumor'. Regardless, being a victim of rumors in the past, i know how it feels and therefore i will not judge both ladies.



HOWEVER, despite saying that, i do think that a sense of humility shown by another human being should be treated with respect and not be shunned. It takes a big person to apologize and a bigger person to accept the apology.



Apart from a little drama, AIM 17 was so much fun. I sat and partied with my coolest brother, Hafiz, and even rocked the after party. We danced and danced and then danced some more.



Really hope one day i could rock it on stage with my music.

:)

Additional note

(*) Kembara Award is given to a local act who is signed locally and has brought their music to an international scene through various mediums. Performances overseas is also looked at in terms of what audience the artiste attracts for e.g.: Not just a performance for Malaysian students overseas.
