NOTE TO SELF - [1]

Jogging... Jogging... Jogging...

Hujung minggu!

Gila malas kau weh!

POWER OF LOVE

Do you ever saw a lovely couple get in fight?

Once, they look like sweetest couple ever live on planet earth. But, if they get in fight, they don't even think about others. Pick a fight in a car, on Facebook, on telephone, lake garden, food court and most bizarre place i ever seen is in the toilet.

Like i said, if they want to, they think planet earth is belong to them. Ikut suka tok nenek depa jek.

But.

When all the madness goes away, they don't remember what the fuck they already done.

But people do remember what they been fight for.

Actually, i print-screen the status (the place where they gaduh-mulut).

Not for humiliate them but to remind me the magical of love.

Yeah!

REVIEW : DIARY OF A WIMPY KID

Setiap dari kita akan mengalami perubahan fasa kehidupan. Dari bayi, kanak-kanak, remaja, dewasa, tua dan mati.

Ok, filem ini bercerita tentang seorang budak yang akan naik tingkatan ke "middle school". Fasa peralihan dari sekolah rendah ke sekolah menengah agaknya. Yang mana-mana di fasa ini kita akan dapat lihat mereka akan mencari identiti mereka sendiri.

Greg, melihat kawannya, Rowley sebagai seorang yang tidak hip dan cool kerana masih berfesyen seperti budak sekolah rendah. Pakai seluar slack, naik basikal warna pink, pakai beg sandang sangkut dua, bermain kombat dan permainan video selepas waktu sekolah dan bermacam-macam lagi.

Jadi, Greg cuba ubah Rowley untuk jadi remaja seperti yang Grey fikir remaja. Greg rasa dia bertanggungjawap untuk ubah kawan baiknya itu.

Tapi setiap kali Greg cuba jadi lebih baik (dan lebih remaja) dari Rowley, tiap kali itu Greg akan bernasib malang dan Rowley akan bernasib baik. Beberapa insiden lucu dan tak disangka melibatkan budak yang kononnya telah dewasa di dalam filem ini sedikit sebanyak mencuit nostalgia di awal saya bersekolah menengah dulu.

Mahu seluar tempah ukuran kaki besar, baju t-shirt cop, kasut sekolah pallas jazz, jam besi, minyak rambut tancho, urban legend di sekolah dan macam -macam lagi.

Bagi yang mahu menonton filem yang ringan dan easy-going, tak tekanan dan tak seram, filem ini sesuai untuk ditonton. Cheese touch!

MEREKA SUDAH MULA SAKIT OTAK

Aku rasa berakhir susah bulan overtime aku untuk waktu ini. Dah boleh balik awal. Mungkin di pejabat hanya tinggal 2,3 staf sahaja yang perlu balik lambat untuk siap-siapkan kerja-kerja akhir sebelum semuanya benar-benar berakhir. Ada juga staf yang sudah mula bercuti. Ada juga yang rancang untuk cuti minggu depan.

Petang itu, aku pulang awal.

Sambil menyeret jaket aku di atas lantai (lantai ofis aku berkarpet) dan berpura-pura macam letih sangat-sangat, aku melintasi kubikel-kubikel staf yang belum balik lagi.

"Eh, awalnya dah bawa hadiah?" tegur Staf 1.

"Hadiah?" Tanya aku, "Hadiah apa?"

"Tuuu...." Jawap Staf 1 sambil menjuihkan bibir ke arah jaket yang aku heret.

Aku jadi bingung. Besar betul impak bulan sibuk bulan lepas, makan saraf juga.

"Krismas lama lagi. Kau dah bawa hadiah nak bagi orang." Kata Staf 1 ter"kui-kui" di kubikelnya.

Budak praktikal belakang kubikel cakap, "Ha'ah la, baru perasan!"

Cilakak depa ni. Ada yang aku sumbat dengan jaket aku ni karang. Kau ingat santa klaus. Esok-esok, pulih la kot sakit otak depa ni.

Aku senyum kelat sambil lambai bye-bye double meaning.

NAK MASUK INDIE ART, KENA DAFTAR MANA?

Zaman sekarang ini zaman indie art tengah naik.

Indie art ada macam-macam. Aku pun tak tahu makna sebenarnya indie art. Mungkin sejenis art yang pihak TV tak nak ketengahkan dalam intisari rancangan mereka. Sebab tak ada selebriti popular agaknya.

Zaman sekarang semua orang 'into' indie art.

Hujung minggu ini aku nak hadiri majlis art yang agak popular. Dah masuk tahun ketiga diadakan. Kali ini lebih banyak penyertaan luar negara. Dekat tengah-tengah Kolumpo.

Apa dah tak ada indie art scene dekat Johor ke?

Ada, tapi mungkin tak kena dengan fizikal aku kalau nak lompat-lompat hempas kepala. Tapi aku suka indie art yang ini. Kalau mereka buat di Johor, jimat tambang keretapi aku. Dulu, mereka pernah buat sekali tapi masa tak kena. Aku tengah nak ambil skrol ijazah masa itu.

Harap-harap kalau mereka nak buat di Johor, aku tak ada masalah lain yang tak munasabah la hendaknya.

Ok -lah. Aku datang sebab aku tak nak jadi kodi!

HOW MUCH DOES YOUR LIFE WEIGHT?

Quotes from Ryan Bingham in Up In The Air (2009)

How much does your life weight?

Imagine for a second that you're carrying a backpack. I want you to pack it with all the stuff that you have in your life. You start with the little things. The shelves, the drawers, the knickknacks, then you start adding larger stuff. Clothes, tabletop appliances, lamps, your TV.

The backpack should be getting pretty heavy now. You go bigger. Your couch, your car, your home. I want you to stuff it all into that backpack.

Now I want you to fill it with people. Start with casual acquaintances, friends of friends, folks around the office and then you move into the people you trust with your most intimate secrets. Your brothers, your sisters, your children, your parents and finally your husband, your wife, your boyfriend, your girlfriend.

You get them into that backpack, feel the weight of that bag. Make no mistake your relationships are the heaviest components in your life. All those negotiations and arguments and secrets, the compromises. The slower we move the faster we die.

Make no mistake, moving is living. Some animals were meant to carry each other to live symbiotically over a lifetime. Star crossed lovers, monogamous swans. We are not swans. We are sharks.

REVIEW : "MOUTH-WATERING" SALT

Before i watched this movie, i already told my feeling of this movie to some of my friend. I said, this movie is female version of Jason Bourne. Government agent had a hidden agenda that show to audience that she is so bad but at the end, she is innocent.

After i watched this movie, i do think that my thought earlier is really true. Err... Almost at least. This movie is the succulent, mouth-watering version of Jason Bourne. Well-trained secret-agenda agent from Russia been swap with US Agent and wait for Day-X. But in the end, she been planned-release by her enemy-to-be-friend Agent.

Just so-so movie, and hate the ending. If there are no sequel, it's like very sucks movie. Huh! At least give an ending to Salt, not just throw her away at hyperthermia-Lake.

YOU CAN INSPIRED PEOPLE

Don't you ever think that although you feel that you're just normal person, having normal life, socialize with normal friend and living in normal house, you also can admire by others. By somebody that use to close to you. Your friend, class-mate, college-mate, team-mate or it can be anyone.

At some level of your life, you actually inspired somebody around you, even you don't realize it. Maybe you think you just done a little thing but it could give a big impact to others. It may change their thought and life. Who's know?

We not a loser for ever. Sometime we're heroes and give motivation to others. But sometimes, we're just pain in their ass.

Live with it. Do a good sincerely deed even though it is as small as eye could see rather than try to show off with what you can do. People don't see on what you can do, they see on what you have done. You also can be Oprah!

Just note to self.

SUPPER AND FRIEND

Had a big supper with my friends late night. We had the Wak Radol's Satay, some beverage and a big talk. Each of them got stories to tell. And we gained a lot of new knowledge.

There are a kind that i met almost every week.

Last i met him on Friday. We watched SALT together. He is one of The Jantans. An academician at local university. When he talked about journal review, journal publish and all that stuff, i just got stunned! This dude is evolving to another phase of life. Hardly to believe :)

There are a kind that i met one in several week.

Last i met him was at night of Faiz & Famizah wedding. We had a karaoke session at Diva Southern City. He is man of little word. His world is only about lorry, kontena, lorry driver and replace colleague slot.

There are a kind that i met whenever he came back to Malaysia.

Last i met him was during Aidilfitri last year (2009). He is PHD-to-be. Also a academician at local university but in study leave for 3 years. He just arrive from Aussie last 2 days. Heading to Bangkok tomorrow for some academic conference. In order to complete his PHD, he must reading, study, head-breaking and talk a lot.

I love my friend because when we gather and talk about things, there are always a good conversation, no shit-talk, gain knowledge. Although i just listening they talking and know nothing about the topic.

Even they just "cerita kaum" among themselves, it not big deal for me to keep quiet and pick up something from their conversation.

That's what friend mean for, rite?

NOT SO WELL

I'm sick.

The only anecdote i need is holiday and new environment.

*sigh*

Kilang pakaian pun kilang pakaian la.
