This is mum's second son. We enemy, you deserve the hurt? Wednesday earlier the morning, I as usual ride my mum car heading to college, its 8am class, so we would be around the place 7 something, here ill-boding arrived, it seemed like every year of mine eve there will be something happened, whats goes wrong to me? I don't know. Our car was came out from the toll that time, we stopped at the junction as red turns, and I was usual taking a short nap on car, sitting the back seat, it's short while I can felt the "locomote" of massage with sound BANG from my back. A second ago I was thought "new tech added? feeling nice", :D As I opened my eyes, this is not good anymore I knew, so two cars user came down immediately, we were on the road middle, and both had suggested to drive over beside for settling. A young melay lady, looked definability lack of sleep and without strength, words from my heart: " 发鸡盲咩，你!" =.= o0o, however I didn't exposed this, rational is best to be solve the problems, mum's melay language ain't speaking well, their communication seemed so broken. By the way, the melay lady has had made appologize many, and peaceful is created.

Hence I decided to skip over the 8am seems has been late many, and accompany mum to police station, both required to make report about how the circumstances being, she didn't make cheat, and she had acknowledged about the case, lucky. You will never know how greatest Malaysia law is. The policemen required photocopy I/C and car licence. She was not being smart, she should helped us make copies too, so I went for it, and it's quite darn far away I walked to get a photocopy shop, came back, she said, "Sorry, I should help you guys made the copies too" ==!, (Ok, I patient, I don't hope any racial issue occur by what you guys thought we would). I smiled. Even this time, mum's report was done by the incharge policemen, lucky she checked, it was existing errors over the report, the plat number of the opponent car was written wrongly an alphabet, (OMFG). You are telling us, you are trying to help the melay lady. I would like to let you know, we Malaysian too, please reform the matter. And I'm sure bumiputra will get a discount of penalty pays, this is not a burden for sure with them.

Second son.

The blind one.

Evening, I got back. Mum had a moody day for whole. I even had a bad luck of incidently pouring down a jug of soup from aunty place on the way I stepped back house door. That's her dinner. I feel sorry to her too. As we planned to have a walk at Jusco later during dinner time said, at last I then take away something for her. Weekday people is less, nothing much, I went to MPH bookstore. Self interest, Self improvement, fiction sections walked by, I had discovered these.

Inspiring Legacy Yasmin Ahmad 1958 - 2009

Posted by Ray[m]ond at 11:49 PM Labels: Arts and Photography, Laugh Out Loud

Yasmin Ahmad - local filmmaker extraordinaire who touched many hearts and minds with her distinctly down-to-earth Malaysian productions, passed away on July 25, after suffering a stroke and brain haemorrhage, she was 51.

Famed for her groundbreaking Petronas Tv commercials even before she mad her first film, Yasmin often professed to a humble beginning in her moviemaking career, by volunteering to make a commercial for free, for a client who lacked the funds. Yasmin's commercials is mostly celebrating the country's independence or touching on issues close to the heart of Malaysians, successfully brought her out of obscurity and into the limelight. Soon after, it cames a string of movies, always bearing messages of racial harmony and familial ties, which pushed the envelope, challenged the norm and attempted to bring about change.

She quickly became a name closely linked to the rise of Malaysia's independent filmmakers. A friend of many young directors, she struggled with them to bring a whole new edge to Malaysian films. Despite receving numerous acccolades, Yasmin always underplayed her role as a filmmaker. She was, after all, she would say only a part-time filmmaker, but a full-time executive creative director with an advertising firm. For Yasmin, making movies was almost a hobby. Born in Bukit Treh, Muar, Johor on July 1, 1958, Yasmin graduated from Newcastle University, Britain in psychology, and began her career as copywriter with Ogilvy and Mather before joining Leo Burnett as joint creative director in 1993.

In 2003, she made her first feature film, Rabun, a TV movie produced for TV3. But it was 2004's Sepet, her first cinematic release, that won her international accolades. Her first award for Sepet was the Grand Prix at the Creteil International Women's Film Festival in France. Later that year, the film also picked up the Best Asian Film award at the Tokyo International Film Festival. Sepet presented a story that challenged stereotypes and perceptions of what a Malaysian mainstream film could be. At the heart of it was a sweet relationship between a boy and girl, kept apart because they are of different races. Since then, she mad another four feature films (Gubra, Mukhsin, Muallaf and Talentime) all of which had screened at international festivals.

Most of them are stories that revolve around her own family. These were not your average Malaysian movies. Sepet opened with a Chinese boy reading a Rabindranath Tagore poem, then dancing to a classic Malay song. Gubra opened with a bilal's wife preparing breakfast for her husband to the strains of a Hindi song. People took notice. Her biggest win came in 2007, when Mukshin (2006), her ode to childhood love, garnered two awards, the Grand Prix from the Kinderfilmfest International Jury and a Generation K-Plus Crystal Bear Special Mention, at the 57th Berlin International Film Festival, one of the top three festivals in the world. Her latest film, Talentime, has been selected for this year's Tokyo International Film Festival, from Oct 17 to 25.

Yasmin had just embarked on two international projects, a Japanese-produced film called Wasurenagusa (Forget Me Not) which features a Malaysian-Japanese cast, and Go Thaddeust, a Singaporean production about the short but inspiring life of the late singaporean triathlete Thaddeus Cheong. She is survived by husband Abdullah Tan Yew Leong.

Goodbye Yasmin

Those familiar with Yasmin Ahmad's first blog (http://yasminthestoryteller.blogspot.com/ , http://yasminthefilmmaker.blogspot.com/) would know that each day she spent on earth was one she cherished deeply. In her words on the blog, she claimed to be optimistic and sentimental to the point of being annoying. And in keeping with her honest, heartfelt approach to life she said: " I thank Allah for everyday things like the ability to breathe, the ability to love, the ability to laugh..." Yasmin's love for life, and her enviable work ethic will be greatly missed in the local film industry. She was on inspiration, to say the least.

All these had been inspired me.

Smile With Pain

累，好思索回自己一幕这样的感觉。

Tell me the true, I should let go you.

The King Of Fruit

Posted by Ray[m]ond at 9:12 PM Labels: Foods and Beverage, Life Goes On

As a malaysian, they sure knowing about this quote, "Lelongkan Salong untuk mendapat makan Durian" (Sometime like these, I have forgotten). It's durian season. Around May, the stalls begin to appear along the main roads. Slowly the appearance of stalls spread to smaller roads and finally we get an explosion of stalls everywhere. What do these stalls sell, why the sudden increase in number? It is Durians!

Along the roadsides in towns and cities can be seen people haggling and bargaining with the vendors about the price of the durians. This beloved fruit - the durian, is the main point of interest for many Malaysian at this time of the year. Most of us love the durian. The smell and taste are things that we can get nowhere else in the world. One either loves or hates the durian. There is no such thing as a lukewarm attitude towards it. Some of us love it to the point of obsession while some cannot stand the sight, or rather, the smell of it. I know of the foreigners who describe eating the durian as similar to eating strawberry ice cream in a public toilet! What an unfair criticism it is. Given time I am sure these foreigners will learn to love the durian as fervently as the locals.

I miss the annual task of opening the spiny fruit and putting the golden contents into mouth. What a glorious time it is. However we have to be careful, not to be gluttonous. Otherwise we will end up in the clinic to atone for our sins. Experienced durian lovers like me do not exceed our limits. We know when to stop. By the way, I have not any yet. I'm so eager to have it now. Who else? Any?
