box set 368

the just released slovak sling's pirated dvd seller/dealer guy was searching for a dvd he labelled as 368 and

guess what?????

that dvd is actually dvd of SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANT!!!!! oh my god!!!! of all the dvds. adeh!

a 3seconds special appearance by spongybob and patrick in slovak sling.... .....unbelievable.....

hmm..

here i am in the middle of the night after one roti canai with teh tarik in mamak stall. i doubt its the supper that still keeps me wide awake but no other factor can best explain it.

anyways, with most of them soundly asleep except some guys living upstairs making some shocking sound unexpectedly, i just finished watching one future a day after its released date. well, one i forgot and two i slept early yesterday to repay my only 2,4 hours sleep day before.

i guess besides yasmin ahmad chocolate, one future is something i find interesting and i think there's really a huge message behind the story (though i know every short films have messages to be told, problem is i'm not that smart to figure out most of them). perhaps it's that guy called tian chua should be the correct name which makes me to relate it to politics in this country automatically.

besides liking the way the film is plotted, edited and produced, i feel that the story is so malaysia at some point. [well duh, the main title is 15malaysia ba] something reflecting what's happening here but just like chocolate not many actually realise and can see it. only a certain of people know the existence because they witness it or experience it. maybe thats the reason the director chose that guy for the film.

after 8 short films which outlined in a very artistic way basically about misunderstanding, discrimination, natural resources, social problems etc.... are those really what malaysia is to them???? do they see malaysia in that way???? telling us how realistic it is???? what kind of awareness do they actually trying to draw?

majority up to now are negative or issues. dont they have something really sweet and beautiful stuff about malaysia or malaysians? not regarding those in advertisements made by the kementerian but no matter how realistic is in reality now, i'm sure malaysia is not only about those. perhaps what outlined were only a tiny black dot on the white cloth. why cant we look in the white and let it shadow the tiny dot....lets together make our country a better place...lets walk the 1malaysia and not talk bout it only.

looking forward for at least one film - one genuine shot

sabar...

sedar tak sedar sudah berlalu 4hari bulan ramadhan ini. setelah tidak puasa untuk 2 hari, semalam saya kembali berpuasa untuk hari kedua saya.

sepanjang saya berpuasa walaupun tak banyak hari, semalam merupakan hari yang paling mencabar untuk saya....aaah...

saya hampir-hampir tidak puasa penuh semalam. dengan badan yang mula menunjukkan tanda-tanda demam dan setelah menelan 2biji panadol elok-elok sebelum azan subuh, saya menahan kekeringan mulut dan tekak sepanjang hari. semalam juga entah apa sebabnya, kelaparan amat dirasai dan terpaksalah saya menahan dan menahan. jalan termudah, saya tidur.

petang pula buat kali pertama saya berjalan di pasar ramadhan dalam keadaan berpuasa, sememangnya rasa sangat mencabar dan amat tercabar.

dengan lauk-pauk di atas meja, ayam digolek bersinar menitis nitis minyaknya, ayam percik, kepak panggang, ikan bakar, roti john, kebab, laksa, kuih muih, nasi ayam, nasi tomato, sup saudagar, murtabak dan segala makanan dan minuman di depan mata tak kira sedap ke tak sedap [tapi memang semua nampak sedap] tidak henti-henti meransang dan menguatkan nafsu makan saya. memang terasa dan teringin sangat-sangat untuk beli dan makan SEMUA makanan tersebut.

bukan itu sahaja, bunyi ais dan air pula, semasa makcik penjual air mengacau tong-tong air menyebabkan saya semakin terliur terbayangkan kesedapan dan kesegaran menghirup air sejuk yang sedap itu.... aduhai, masa itu saya berfikir alangkah sedapnya kalau dapat seteguk. seteguk pun jadilah...

tetapi dengan semangat, kecekalan dan kesabaran yang tinggi, apa yang boleh saya buat masa itu hanyalah sekadar menelan kembali air liur yang semakin melimpah-limpah dan menunggu detik demi detik dan syukurlah saya berjaya buat kali kedua untuk tahun ini.
