Hey!!! Itu aku...

Hello again... Hmm... Just got back in the office after 3 tiring days of technical training in MII. 3 days without blogging, Lotsa things to write, but then again, with such little time at hand, it is not permissable for me to do so. Nanti lah, let me settle one thing at a time... Kalau tak, terkejar-kejar nanti.

My table is a mess. Esok dah hari last before month-end closing dan meja gua dah berlambak kerja yang kena settle before yesterday. Hmmm.. terkejar-kejar ke sana sini nak habiskan kerja. Or else, outstanding plak for the next month. Wouldn't want that to happen now, would I??.

Among benda yang ada dalam kepala, macam diskusi Tanya Linda masa tu, Gubra & Sepet : Pencemar Budaya, some things about my training... and a few lagik lah.. When I have an ample time to do so, insya allah I will write something.

p/s : Coming up, ulasan gua for the up coming Anugerah Industri Muzik 13 which will be held on the 29th of April.

Adios Muchachos...

" From Allah we came, To Allah we'll return"

Hilangnya sebuah mutiara indah di bumi Allah ini. Our country has just lost one of the most prominent leader in history. Allahyarham Tun Ghafar Baba telah menghembuskan nafasnya yang terakhir pada pagi ini di Gleneagles Intan yang telah selamat dikebumikan di Makam Pahlawan, Masjid Negara selepas asar.

Allahyarham yang meninggalkan kita pada usia 81 tahun telah banyak menyumbangkan tenaga, kudrat dan masa beliau untuk memastikan kecemerlangan, kegemilangan dan keterbilangan bangsa Melayu di Tanah Air. Terlalu banyak jasa Allahyarham yang boleh ditulis, dalam ruang yang terlampau sedikit ini. Cukupkah jika kita mengingati jasa Allahyarham terhadap pembangunan politik negara.

Anjakan revolusi yang tercetus oleh Allahyarham adalah sesuatu yang sukar untuk kita gantikan. Kita adalah penyambung semangat Allahyarham pada masa yang akan datang. Insya Allah.

Ingatlah, kematian adalah sesuatu yang pasti. Jangan kita alpa dan hanya menunggu saat itu hadir.

"Mati bukanlah satu pengakhiran, Mati adalah satu permulaan kepada sesuatu yang kekal"

Al-Fatihah



Amin.....

Agghh.. very tiring! Slept quite late last night watching Astro and I had to wake up early to come to the office. Took nasi lemak and coffee for breakfast, took my bath, and out of the house. There goes my sleeping time on Saturday. I even cancelled my tuition class today. Hmm... What a life!!

 

It's been a busy week for me. Not enough 5 days a week of work, I had to come on Saturday to finish up my work. This is because I won't be around on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday next week. I am going for a training in MII, Jalan Semantan 3.

 

Actually, they did not confirm the date yet as MII did not get enough participants to attend the course. And i thought, what the heck, may be the course is gonna be in mid of May. Suddenly, got a phone call from HR Dept saying that MII had confirm the date. Last minute confirmation. Good! You expect the MII to be some professional body, turn out to be something else. They are always like that! But, whatever it is, since the company paid for it and a chance to get the hell out of office for 3 days, hmm.. why not. Suffer a wee bit, and enjoy the next week.

 

Furthermore, next week will be near the closing accounts for April. So, not being in the office for 3 days, thinking of it is closing, and the tonnes of work on my table, I have no other choice than to come to work on Saturday. In between my work, still got a chance to blog and post an entry to my blog. Hehehhe... killing two birds with one stone.

 

Anyway, got to continue my work. See you later!

Adios Muchachos!

 

p/s :  Amir, I know you are reading this. So, if anything comes up, gimme a call. Keep me updated!

Korang ada baca paper Harian Metro semalam tak? Cerita pasal Tom Cruise(TC) berikrar nak makan uri anak dia yang bakal dilahirkan oleh Katie Holmes tu. Mengucap panjang gua...

 

Gua : Hey Tom, are you freaking out of your mind?

 

TC : Why you say like dat one?

 

Gua :  Ya lah! You want to eat your child's uri for what?

 

TC :  Eh.. why? Cannot meh?  

 

Gua : Of course la cannot. You very stupid la you, mother f***er!!!

 

Nak aje gua cakap macam tu kat dia. Is he out of his mind? I mean, there's zillion things that you can do with that. Kau nak tanam ke, kau nak isi dalam botol then drown it at sea ke, ko nak awetkan ke.. itu ngko punya pasal lah... ini tidak... kau nak makan?

 

How on earth did you get the idea to eat it? Kesian betul. Buat duit berjuta-juta, tapi akal pendek. Ish... Siap boleh kata berkhasiat? Laaa.. dah habis ke nutricious food yang ada kat dunia ni? I know that there are weird delicacies , but eating a part of your child's post-natal part? Who would do such a thing?

 

Ish... Tom.. Tom... What the fuck are you thinking?

Semalam gua dengan member-member gua ada buat sikit farewell lunch untuk one of my friend. She'll be leaving the company after quite a number of years. Alah.. makan kat KFC aje.. Tapi gua tak kisah sebab for me, it's the tought of getting together-gether is what's important.

 

Eventhough we are sad that she is leaving, but we are also happy because she is leaving for a better future. Alhamdulillah lah. Ye lah.. Actually, she is frustrated because her boss does not appreciate her. Imagine this, in our class, all that graduated got promoted except for her and another good friend of mine.

 

She did not get that for the most pathetic reason that I have ever heard. Sebab tak ada budget and vacancy. Headcount dah cukup katanya. Kepala hotak diorang lah! Sekarang, boleh pula diorang recruit orang baru, transfer someone from other department pergi ke department tu.

 

The best thing, ada vacancy for an Assistant Manager pose. Amboi!! Dulu cakap tak ada, sekarang boleh ada pulak! Macam ke**ing betul. If that is the case, why don't you just promote someone from your own department instead of taking in someone new who does not know a thing about the work and the company? Bodoh kan?

Current situation, kat company yang gua ni, ramai sangat yang resign. Kalau setakat non-managerial level tu tak apa lah, ini tidak. Even Assistant General manager, Senior Managers, Executive sampai ke Clerical staff semua nak cabut dari sini. Takkan tak tahan dengan tampuk pimpinan baru yang telah diambil alih oleh someone new? Or are they feeling insecured about their future here?

 

Yang jadi persoalannya sekarang, WHO IS TO BLAME FOR THIS THING? Bagi gua lah kan, kalau dah ramai sangat yang berhenti, it is only for the MANAGEMENT to be blame for. Yelah, Yang dah kerja 23 tahun pun boleh blah dari sini. Macam mana tu? Yelah, they should study why the staff punya flow sampai jadi inconsistent macam ni sekali. Seriously man, kalau this trend keeps on going, lama lama tak ada siapa yang tinggal and this will leave a bad repertoire for the company.

 

Macam mana tu? Korang boleh leraikan tak persoalan aku ni?

Disclaimer : Apa yang gua tulis kat bawah ni cuma luahan hati seorang peminat filem sahaja. Gua tulis dengan ikhlas tanpa nak menyakitkan hati sesiapa pun. So, kalau ada yang terasa atau tak bersetuju, harap maaf. Tinggalkan lah komentar anda at comment box gua nanti ya.

 

Sekarang dah masuk pertengahan bulan April bagi tahun 2006. Sehingga kini, 5 filem Melayu (atau patut ke gua cakap FILEM MALAYSIA?) yang sudah ditayangkan di pawagam. Mengikut turutan, 5 filem tu ialah

1. Buli Balik

2. Main-Main Cinta

3. Pesona Non Grata (PNG!! Bukan PGL!!!)

4. Bujang Senang

5. Gubra

Kelima-lima filem ini menyajikan genre yang berbeza pada setiap satunya. Buli Balik dan Bujang Senang lebih kepada genre komedi manakala Main-Main Cinta dan Pesona Non Grata lebih terarah kepada cinta. Gua boleh andaikan bahawa Main-Main Cinta lebih kepada cinta remaja dan PNG pula, lebih berat dalam pengisiannya. Gubra pula? Macam mana gua nak kelaskan ya? Komedi pun ada, Cinta pun ada, kekeluargaan pun ada jugak!

Jumlah kutipan filem-filem tu pun berbeza-beza. Buli Balik & Bujang Senang mengungguli carta kotak-pejabat (box-office daa!!!). Setakat 5 filem ni lah kan. Mungkin ke sebab Buli Balik & Bujang Senang ni mengetengahkan genre komedi dan lawak, yang menyebabkan filem ni laku? Aku tak tengok Bujang Senang lagi. Sebab apa? Sebab kadang kadang gua bosan tengok lawak apek yang sama aje kat mana mana dia pergi. Aku tertanya jugak. Dia ni tak ada modal lain ke. Ye, gua tak nafikan, memang menghiburkan, tapi Apek should come up with something refreshing. Instead of the same old thing aje. Sampai kita pun dah boleh agak lawak dia macam mana dan ape yang dia nak buat. Tapi aku respek Afdlin Shauki. Dia berani membawa perubahan dalam Buli Balik. Ini satu-satunya filem yang menampilkan 5 orang jantan yang kononnya macho sebagai hero. Kalau ada pun Nasha Aziz, hanya sebagai watak pembantu aje.

 

PNG & Main-Main Cinta? Hmm... kesian sungguh nasib Nizarman dengan Metrowealth!! Merana sebab filem diorang tak dapat sambutan. Tapi pelik macam mana dua-dua filem ni boleh gagal nak capai kutipan yang baik. Nak balik modal pun susah rasanya. Sedangkan intipati dalam dua dua filem tu sama. Nama besar dan tema cinta.

 

Maksud gua, tengok aje filem PNG, ada nama besar macam Eera Fazira (or is it Erra Fazira??) & Hans Isaac. Mungkin ke sebab PNG tu dikatakan saduran dari filem THAILAND bertajuk FEBRUARY? Pulak tu, hangat di perkatakan sebab PNG tu mencilok bulat-bulat filem FEBRUARY tu? Ini bukan BAIK PUNYA CILOK.. sebab filem ni gagal nak menarik orang menonton kat pawagam. Siapa nak jawab tu?

 

Main-main Cinta pula, ada nama Misha Omar dan Adam AF 2, 2 nama yang gah betul kat persada seni suara Malaysia ni. Takkan itu pun still tak dapat nak tarik perhatian penonton-penonton kita kot? Kemana pergi peminat-peminat setia Adam? Tapi masalah jugak kan? Yang minat si Adam tu, budak budak perempuan dengan budak-budak yang baru nak naik aje. Gua rasa lah, dia bukannya ada peminat di peringkat dewasa pun. 

 

Gubra? I don't know whether it is too soon to say. Tapi from my readings at Yasmin Ahmad's Blog, it seems that Gubra is not doing very well. Not to say that film is not good. No!! I love Gubra.It is a good movie. But there has been rumours that Gubra was sabotage (Please read my earlier post). Yelah, sebab panggung half full, dikata kan full. So, siapa yang book through the phone @ internet tu, memang takkan dapat jawapan yang baik lah. Kalau betul benda ni jadi, SEBAB APA? Entah lah. Nak komen lebih-lebih pun tak boleh jugak.

Selera penonton ni pun bukan senang nak dibaca. Kejap suka komedi, kejap suka cinta. Entah! Susah jugak nak ditafsirkan selera penonton Malaysia ni.Dengan kejayaan Bujang Senang & Buli Balik, does that proves that we Malaysian still loves comedy? Tapi bagi gua lah, kalau nak buat cerita komedi pun, buat lah komedi yang tak memperbodohkan diri sendiri dan penonton. We are now smarter. Bukannya jenis yang main sapu semua cerita komedi yang ada pun.

 

Sejak 2,3 tahun lepas, kita dah disajikan dengan macam macam genre baru. Tengok Gangster, KL Menjerit, Pontianak Harum Sundal Malam (Just to say a few names lah). Walaupun ada elemen cinta, tapi at least diorang lari dari kepompong biasa filem Malaysia. And they are not doing that bad. Malah, Maya Karin was crowned Pelakon Wanita Terbaik kat Jepun pun. Bade Hj Azmi pun, pengarah baru yang memang bagi gua, cukup handal dalam mengeluarkan kehendak penonton Malaysia ni ke Layar Perak. Hampir kesemua filem dia berjaya. Mungkin Berlari Ke Langit is not as good as KL Menjerit or KL Menjerit Episod 1 lah. Tapi keberanian dia tu harus dipuji.

Bagi gua sendiri,dalam 5 filem tu, yang gua tengok cuma Buli Balik dengan Gubra ajer. Dua-dua kat GSC Midvalley. Kenapa? Entah lah! Maybe selera gua sekarang dah lebih ke filem-filem macam tu.Mungkin ke selera penonton Malaysia yang sering berubah-ubah ni yang buatkan kita susah nak polarised kan the trend? Mungkin sebab gua dah letih dengan filem mainstream! Mungkin juga sebab gua dah bosan dengan filem pengarah "prolifik" Prof. Razak Mohaideen agaknya! Bukan gua tak nak sokong filem Melayu, tapi kadang-kadang tu, gua dah bosan betul lah. Asyik-asyik cerita yang sama, pelakon yang sama, plot yang sama. Tak ada variety betul.

Gua sendiri pun bukannya bagus mana nak komen lebih-lebih pasal benda ni. Tapi ini yang gua rasa. Furthermore, kita sebagai penonton, be smart and brilliant lah. ( ish!! dah beratus kali gua cakap pasal ni kan?)... Very ironic, kita orang Malaysia ni, suka pada lawak bodoh, cinta yang mendayu-dayu entah apa apa entah. Aku pun suka jugak benda macam tu. Tapi, I feel that we should open up to other aspects jugak lah. Kita memang lah takkan dapat nak saingi Hollywood yang ada budget sampai berbillion untuk satu filem. Malaysia ni, buat filem sampai 20 juta pun hangat orang mengata. Lagipun, pasaran filem Hollywood, jangan korang nak cerita lah. Satu dunia boleh tembusi. Filem kita, kalau dapat ditayangkan kat Indonesia, Brunei, Singapore atau Thailand pun dah di canangkan satu kampung.

 

Dan kita susah nak menerima cerita yang berat pengisiannya. Contoh paling baik? Qaisy dan Laila. Buat penggambaran jauh kat Pakistan sana, dengan plot kemanusiaan pulak tu. Tapi look at what happened to it. Sayang! Habis duit Habsah Hassan hantar Fazura, Jehan, Radhi Khalid, Umi Aida dengan team penggambaran dia ke sana. Tak dapat modal pusingan langsung. Malah, rugi lagi ada. Perkara yang sama jugak dalam Buai Laju-Laju arahan U-Wei. Tak dapat sambutan pun.

 

Jangan lah cakap cerita macam Bicara Hati, Bintang Hati, Diari Romeo, Anakku Sazali (aku tak sure title dia!) dan entah apa apa cerita tu entah. Gua tak lah layak nak cakap cerita tu cerita sampah (Maaf lah kalau bahasa gua!) tapi sedih betul macam mana orang sanggup keluar modal berpuluh ribu atau berjuta sekali pun sebab keluarkan cerita macam tu. Buang duit aje lah, aku rasa!!!

Whatever it is, I have to tap our producers back lah yang tak henti-henti untuk menghasilkan karya mereka despite not knowing what they are getting theirselves into. Cuma mungkin, pada masa yang akan datang, gua harap, biarlah filem kita tu nanti dibuat agar tak malu kalau nak dibawa ke mana mana festival filem pun. Takkan kita nak usung SEPET, GUBRA, PUTERI GUNUNG LEDANG ataupun PONTIANAK HARUM SUNDAL MALAM aje kot? sedangkan yang lain? Hanya jadi ayam tambatan kat kampung sendiri aje.

 

Apa-apa pun, CINTAILAH FILEM KITA.

 

FILEM KITA, WAJAH KITA.

 

Adios Muchachos.

Sekarang ni, semua tengah hangat menunggu fenomena yang akan hangat melanda negara! No.. Bukan World Cup! Bukan semua orang suka World Cup! Ini fenomena yang dah mencetuskan kontroversi sejak tahun lepas.

Haaa... tau kan ape yang gua cakap ni? Yes.. AKADEMI FANTASIA kembali menggegar Malaysia. Musim ke-empat pula tu!! Yo yo aje kata 2006 ni tak ada AF. Yelah! Nak bagi laluan pada World Cup katanya..!! sekali... ambik engkau! keluar iklan audition for AKADEMI FANTASIA MUSIM KE-4 !!!Sape nak jawab tu?

Menuju puncak... gemilang cahaya...
Mengukir cita.. seikhlas rasa..
Menuju puncak... Impian di hati...
Bersama janji.. azam sejati..
Pasti berjaya.. di AKADEMI FANTASIA...

Haaa.. lagu tu lah yang akan berkumandang setiap hari starting Mei hinggalah ke konsert final yang selalunya akan berlangsung pada bulan Ogos.So, tak ada lah anak muda yang akan melepak kat luar rumah. Semuanya akan jadi penonton setia Channel 4 Astro Ria menantikan konsert mingguan setiap minggu! Elok juga! Tak ada lah yang akan merempit kat tengah tengah jalan! Yelah, semuanya akan menghadap depan tv. Dari anak muda sampai ke pak haji dan mak hajah pun minat AF ni..

Jangan cakap orang lah, even my parents are glued to the television. Berulang lah beratus kali! They will still watch it over and over and over again! Aggh!!Tension juga kadang-kadang. Takde peluang nak tukar channel lain langsung!

Sebelum Akademi Fantasia Musim Ke-Empat ni start, gua rasa we better look back dekat AF 3. Kesan dan implikasi yang AF3 ni dah bawak. Gua bukan apa, AF 3 punya penangan memang power! Semuanya sebab apa??? sebab ada Mawi! Pukulan budak Felda Taib Andak ni memang lain macam. Sampai the whole nation kena Demam TSUMAWI ni. Since dia dimasukkan kembali pada Konsert AF 2, he is the chart toppers. Tak kasi peluang dekat orang lain even to go near him. Sampai ke konsert final, orang pun dah malas mengundi untuk pelajar yang lain. Simply because they are in a battle that they will never win. Dah memang clear cut yang Mawi is going to win.

Albeit, sorry to say lah. Vocally, Mawi needs a lot of work to do to improve himself! Persembahan tak konsisten! Suara kadang-kadang pecah ke laut! Muka letih macam pekerja kontrak yang kena kerah tenaga aje! Nonetheless, in 8 months, if the rumours is true, dah jadi millionaire dah pun. Rumah besar untuk orang tua dia! Kereta sampai 3 bijik! Rantai mutiara Rafflesia untuk mak dia! Rezeki dia lah! Alhamdulillah sebab dia mampu ubah nasib keluarga dia!Yang gua nak question ni bukan pasal Mawi. I mean, as I said, dah memang rezeki dia. Tapi yang gua persoalkan, perkara-perkara berkaitan dengan Mawi aje. The best and biggest example is MAESTRO TALENT AND MANAGEMENT!

Sejak dari Mawi keluar dari kurungan akademi tu. Serata buana dia kena usung. Sampai ke ceruk ceruk kampung lah Maestro pergi bawak dia. Sampai satu hari, ada 2 @ 3 show kena attend. Bukan nampak macam Maestro menggunakan Mawi to the limit ke? Semata-mata nak kutip untung aje. Maestro kutip untung atas angin aje. Yang penat!! Yang terkangkang!!! Yang terkobak!! Mawi jugak!!! Kesian lah sikit kat mamat tu!

I have to admit that I am not a fan of Mawi! Tapi gua kesian kat dia. Give him a break lah! Bagi lah dia rest! At least, give him a chance to improve himself vocally lah! Ni tak, selagi boleh, dikerahkan tenaga mamat tu sampai muka pun nampak letih! Sampai suara pun bunyi sampai ke longkang! Nak buat apa kan? Tapi Maestro tetap pulun semua show yang nakkan Mawi! Semata mata sebab nak buat keuntungan aje!

I mean, yes, BUSINESS IS BUSINESS!! What about the rest? What about Marsha, Felix and Amylea? Frankly speaking, I prefer Felix than Mawi! Vocally that is! He has the talent too! Dah terbukti dah pun! Tapi sampai sekarang, tak kira Felix, Marsha, Amylea ataupun pelajar-pelajar lain! Semuanya macam dah hanyut kena bawak dek ombak tsumawi ni. Senyap macam tu aje! MAESTRO!! PLEASE DON'T BE PREJUDIST TOWARDS THE OTHERS! Bukannya yang lain tu tak ada talent pun. Semua ada bakat,ada rupa dan kumpulan peminat mereka sendiri. But think about it lah! Mawi dah keluar 2 album. Felix, naib juara akademi fantasia? Satu album pun tak keluar. Pergi mana-mana show itu jugak lah lagu yang dia bawak. Agaknya, peminat pun dah bosan nak dengar benda yang sama ajer setiap hari.

Last-last, album Mawi yang dikatakan tak berkualiti, tangkat muat dan tak dapat dicalonkan ke AIM 2005. tak tercalon pun untuk ANUGERAH ARTIS HARAPAN TERBAIK. Sedangkan Amylea, Marsha dan Felix tercalon. Macam mana tu? Siapa nak jawab? Kesian kan? penat lelah buat album, tapi tak diterima. katanya tak cukup syarat. Entah lah! Who to blame? Nak tuding jari kat AIM, tak boleh jugak. The need to maintain certain level of standard lah kan? Kalau tak, AIM will be just like Anugerah Media Hiburan tu aje. Anugerah pojok yang tak membawa apa-apa makna pun. Lepas tu, MAESTRO boikot pulak. Tak bagi artis dia buat show. Melalut betul lah. Come on and be a sport lah! Support lah sikit! Macam mana industri kita nak maju? Maybe what the Academy can do is that sediakan kategori ALBUM MINI TERBAIK lah. Then only album Mawi dengan Farah ni akan tercalon.

Entah bila album Felix and the rest akan keluar entah? Mungkin sampai habis tenaga Mawi tu dikerah agaknya. Baru lah nak keluar album Felix. Takkan lah nak harap album Evo tu ajer kot? Satu lagu aje ke yang nak dipersembahkan kesana ke mari? Gua rasa lah kan, if given the choice, mesti those students sedia mintak tebus talak dari MAESTRO agaknya. Dari dilayan macam tak ada dan digantung tak bertali, at least they can decide on their own path.

Alas, adakah ini nasib yang akan melanda batch-batch baru pelajar Akademi Fantasia musim ke empat ni? Adakah mereka akan melalui nasib yang sama macam pelajar-pelajar lama? And what will happened to the rest of the students yang lebih dulu bergelar senior Akademi Fantasia? Adakah Mawi akan dilupakan macam mana yang terjadi pada Zahid bila Mawi was reign as the champion? Gua rasa lah, kalau Mawi dilupakan pun, ada faithful followers dia yang setia kat dia. Lagipun, dah jadi jutawan. Apa susah kan? But what about the rest of them?

Gua rasa lah kan, selepas 3 musim AF ni. Sesiapa yang pergi audition AF 4 ni dan bakal terpilih, korang kena lah bersedia untuk semua ni. Gua bukan ape! Tengok lah nasik senior-senior tu. Tak menentu semuanya. And korang kena sedia mentally on what you are going to be in for!And I am not expecting another Mawi or Vince or Zahid. Just be yourself. That is what AKADEMI FANTASIA is all about. Jangan berpura-pura. It will do you no good. Unless mak bapak korang jutawan yang willing to spend their money semata-mata tak nak tengok korang keluar lah kan? Kalau tidak, korang will need the help of over 20 million Malaysians to determine your future.

Korang nak ke? Disambut megah lepas keluar dari akademi. Dipuja kesana kemari. Diminati? Tetapi hanya untuk 2 bulan ajer. Lepas tu, korang akan dilupakan? Dijemput pun ke show show ala-ala macam majlis orang kahwin aje? lepas tak dapat layanan yang baik, pergi mengadu kat Bi-Pop kata yang korang nak minta dilepaskan?

And as viewers! Be a smart viewers! Buat pilihan korang based on talent and not just look. Be briliiant sebab kita yang akan menentukan turun naik, baik buruknya nasib pelajar kita ni. Jangan buat pilihan yang akhirnya akan merosakkan industri muzik kita.

p/s :I am really hoping yang perempuan akan menang AF. Maybe a change of air kalau perempuan menang. :) But chances are slim kot. Yelah! Yang vote semua perempuan.

Adios muchachos!

My Dear faithful readers (cheeewah!!! If there is any!!!),

please read and pass it around!

PHANTOM AUDIENCE AT GUBRA?

TO ALL WHO ARE GOING TO SEE GUBRA, PLEASE READ THIS:

As they say, "kuch kuch hota hai". Something, something, is happening. Yasmin wrote on her blog that several friends, including her producer Elyna, had gone to the cinema to buy tickets for Gubra but was told that the show they wanted was sold out. But their friends who had managed to get tickets for the same show went into the hall and found it half empty.

Now, this is extremely odd. Unless there were some massive coincidence, it wouldn't be that every single one of the booked tickets were uncollected.

Read about it here.

Yasmin found out later that someone has been making large bookings. She says:

"What's been happening is this. Someone, or some people, out there have been making false bookings in large numbers. However, only half the seats are available for bookings. which explains why the screenings are very often exactly only half full.

"I don't know what can be done about it, but that, it would seem, is what's been happening."

Strange, isn't it?

Anyway, no one wants to speculate, and certainly no one wants to make any accusations. But what we want is to make sure those who want to see the movie are able to do so.

So, here's my suggestion:

DON'T MAKE PHONE OR INTERNET BOOKINGS. GO STRAIGHT TO THE CINEPLEX COUNTER AND WAIT UNTIL HALF AN HOUR BEFORE SHOWTIME. THIS IS WHEN THEY RELEASE THE UNCOLLECTED BOOKINGS. BUY YOUR TICKET THEN.

I think it should be alright to buy tickets at the last minute, because the first 10 minutes of showtime are usually ads and trailers.

So, here's hoping we are able to rectify the problem from now on.

Tell all your friends about this, SMS them, send emails, get the message through. Blog about it.

SPREAD THE WORD!

p/s : TAKEN FROM THE VISITOR'S BLOG .

p/p/s : I am helping to spread the words about Gubra. If you love to watch movie and you want to support Malaysian film and the industry, please do go and watch it. You will surely enjoy it. I know I do.

RM 11.00 for a good movie with a good laugh and a good morale is sure worth it.

Last Friday, gua dengan kawan kawan gua pergi dinner kat Hartz Chicken Buffet kat Sunway Piramid. Out ETD was suppose to be at 1800 hrs lah.. Well.. that's what I want the guys to congregate at. Tapi, due to some unforeseen circumstances, which was due to YOURS TRULY, akhirnya, they all left first. Then only me, Fazri, John and Kalai left at about 6.30 pm. Hehehehe!!! Sorry guys!!!



Datin Azura!!! Mengandung dah awak ya!!!

The traffic was freaking bad. At first, we wanted to go through Federal Highway, tapi, dek kerana kebijaksanaan kawan aku yang sorang ni, we decided to take another route. He told us to go through NPE. At last, sampai kat round-about Assunta, there you go. The traffic was even worse. Teruk kena kutuk kawan gua tu. Hahaha!!! siap boleh buat lawak U-Turn. Turn back to Federal Highway!! Are you nuts?

Il Co-ordinator! Mr Fazri! Pondering upon his darkened future!! Hahaha!!!

So, decided to take NPE jugak lah. Nak buat macam mana kan? Don't ask us to turn back and take federal highway. Way too stuck in the jam to turn back. My friends who arrived earlier dah call berkali-kalo.... Asking where are we.. where are we... Yik Fung with her Chinese slang was even better..!!! Oi!!! You all kat mana, haaa!!! Hahahah!!! We giggled all the way to Sunway Piramid. Sampai sana still buat lawak U-Turn. Hahahaha!!!

My angels!!! Girrrrl Power!!!

Masa masuk parking tu, the restaurant people dah call. Tapi I did not manage to pick up the call. Vibrate.. mana gua nak dengar. Anyway, when we all arrived there, muka yang lain dah macam ayam berak kapur yang kelaparan. Hahahah!!! Sorry la guys!!

Apa tengok-tengok???? Hehehe!! It's me lah!!

It's a good thing that I have already reserved a place there. Orang pulak tak ramai.. Thank God!!! Sampai-sampai aje, masing masing dengan gaya tak ingat dunia terus mencapai makanan. Mentang-mentang la buffet, masing-masing makan macam ular yang tak makan setahun.

Haikal & Mariah, Pasangan romantik... ye ke??

We stayed there sampai lebih kurang 9-ish.. One of my friend broke the news that he/she is leaving the company. Time tu, muka masing-masing macam kena cuka, masam aje. Nasib baik he/she told us masa lepas makan. Kalau tak, potong selera masing-masing. Where she is leaving? It remains a secret first. I know it but for the sake of all. Better keep it quiet dulu!

Kalai!! The guilty party!! Wei!!! Get that camera off of me!!!

Whatever it is, I really enjoyed the time there. Dah lama sangat tak berkumpul macam ni. So, macam-macam cerita lah yang keluar. We left there macam ular yang kekenyangan lepas membahan seekor anak kambing.!!

Yik Fung & Lau Khong (Bernard)

Here are the rest of the pics that I managed to take there:

Zeti & Teddy Bear dia!!

Linda, makan tak ingat dunia!!!

Kak Yan!!! Our Mummy Dearest!!!

Gua memang menanti-nantikan filem ni lepas Sepet. Sepet telah meninggalkan satu impak yang cukup besar pada industri perfileman Malaysia. Tapi, gua terlampau kecil untuk membuat komen gua sendiri. Nanti lah, one fine day, ya?...

Anyway, Sepet betul-betul left a big footstep in my heart. Sebab tu gua tunggu cerita ni. And I was lucky today because i got a chance to watch it. Masa gua mula mula jejakkan kaki gua dalam panggung, gua expect this movie to be brilliant and refreshing. Mungkin sebab it's Yasmin Ahmad kot. Looking at the previous track record of the ever stunning Yasmin Ahmad, that is.
And today, after I attended my colleague's wedding kat PJ, I head straight to Midvalley sebab nak tengok the most eagerly anticipated movie of the year. Lepas tengok filem ni, ada dua perkara yang gua nak ingatkan sebelum korang tonton cerita ni:

1. Buka minda korang luas-luas, luaskan fikiran, tenangkan diri bila nak menonton Gubra. And most crucial thing to do, If you are lining up to buy the ticket, and you still HAVEN'T WATCH Sepet, I would suggest yang korang turn back, and head straight back home. Watch Sepet first, before watching Gubra.
2. Don't watch Gubra if you are tired or lethargic.

Anyway, penceritaan Gubra mengandungi 2 isi yang berbeza. Yang memang langsung tiada kaitan antara satu sama lain in what so ever way that you want to relate it to. Jadi, gua akan bahagikan review gua ni pada 2 bahagian.

Part 1 : Bilal, Kak Mas & 2 kupu-kupu malam (Temah & Kiah)

Filem ini dimulakan dengan kisah Bilal (Ali, kalau tak silap gua!!) dan isterinya. Pasangan yang cukup mesra dan romantik. Menggeletek, lari keliling rumah, bermesra, berpeluk, bercium (tak ada salahnya, kan? mereka dah berkahwin!!). Yang berjiran dan berkawan baik dengan 2 orang pelacur, Kiah dengan Temah. Temah ada sorang anak (dia ni ibu tunggal) dan Kiah, pelacur yang selalu teruk kena belasah dengan pelanggan dia.

Pak Bilal ni, cool aje orangnya. And he never looks down at Kiah and Temah. In fact, diorang ni berjiran sangat rapat. Anak diorang goes to the same school. Mas, wife bilal ni, pun cool orangnya. Sangat romantik dengan husband dia. Temah ni was infected dengan sakit apa. Actually, gua tak agak pun apa sakitnya. Sebab they did not really tell. So, my guess would be either HIV or cancer of the womb kot. Kasih sayang Temah pada anaknya tak berbelah bagi.

Dengan ex husband Temah yang perangai macam hanjeng, I can say that Temah is a strong woman. Kiah pun, ada cita-cita dia sendiri. Sebab tu ada satu scene yang dia jumpa Kak Mas, dia cakap yang dia dah stop buat kerja-kerja tu.

Part 2 : Orked, Mak Inom, Ariff, Pak Atan,Kak Yam, Anuar

Cerita kedua adalah lanjutan kisah Orked yang masa Sepet, she was on the way to London. Anyway, dalam Gubra, kisah Orked and her hectic family dipanjangkan. Orked telah berkahwin dengan Ariff (Adlin Aman Ramli aka Sultan Melaka). Pak Atan (Harith Iskander) was diagnosed with diabetes and was admitted to a hospital. Mak Inom (Ida Nerina), mak pada Orked yang terpaksa melayan karenah Pak Atan.But whatever it is, kelucuan Pak Atan dan Mak Inom dalam Gubra nampak lebih segar. Anuar! Anak angkat Pak Atan yang diambil dari orang gaji sebelah. I did not recall of Anuar dalam Sepet. Anyway, Anuar did not really matters dalam cerita ni. Macam cameo pun ada. Anuar did not really leave a trail in the film. Macam tak ada pun tak apa.

And the ever adorable Kak Yam (Adibah Noor) yang kali ni mengikut jejak langkah Orked. Baru-baru nak bercinta dengan budak cina yang bekerja sebagai hospital attendant tu. Banyak watak lain seperti abang si Jason (I can't recall the name!), Ibu dan bapa Jason, dan beberapa watak tambahan lagi.

Kisah kali ni banyak menceritakan tentang Orked yang berkahwin dengan Ariff, yang bertopengkan binatang dan bermain kayu tiga degan Latifah. Siap went and fuck her for 8 times. Kisah bagaimana dengan cool nya Orked handled her marriage yang at the brink of turmoil tu. Dan juga apa yang jadi pada Mak dan Ayah Jason yang asyik bertekak pagi petang siang dan malam tu.

Filem ini gua pasti akan jadi satu itu perdebatan hangat. Sebab apa? Sebab banyak elemen yang agak canggung untuk kita tengok hari-hari. Contohnya :

a) Pasti akan timbul persoalan, macam mana seorang Bilal boleh pegang anjing masa on the way nak ke surau? Well.. kita jangan lupa... tak haram memegang anjing yang kering.

b) Tak melanggar sensitiviti masyarakat ke when a film potrays about a pious man and his wife befriended a prostitute. For me, there is no harm in that, right? Lagipun, bukannya Temah dan Kiah tu pergi seduce Pak Bilal tu pun. In fact, Temah and Kiah respect the bilal and vice versa. Does not it show how we should respect human being, no matter what is his/her background?

c) Don't you find it awkward tengok Orked mandi dan berkemban dekat hospital. Nothing wrong with that.. cuma aku rasa kelakar bila adegan tu. Pelik pun ada.

d) Tak banyak watak berkemban dalam filem ini. (kecuali masa Orked baru lepas mandi kat hospital lah), tiada watak bersikat rambut anak beranak di tangga dan tiada watak Pak Atan tertanggal kain (eh wait!! Ada.. masa dia nak ke tandas tu!)

e) Banyak sangat perkara dalam filem yang mungkin tak dapat diterima oleh penontohn.

Yang aku suka pasal cerita ni :

1. Lawak-lawak yang memang mampu elevate the humour and tickles you. Subtle but effective. Contohnya, macam masa Kak Yam call ambulance " Hello!!! Mana Ambulance ni? Kenapa lambat sangat? Nak tunggu korang sampai!! Anak aku dah masuk sekolah darjah satu, agaknya" ataupun masa Pak Atan dekat hospital, Mak Inom cakap "Abah suruh datang petang, sebab time-time macam ni, ada orang tolong geletek sotong abah kau"

2. Lepas end credit tu, rupanya ada sambungan.. Haa... Jeng Jeng Jeng Jeng!!! Siap dengan drum rolll!!!! Apa dia?? Maaf, gua tak dapat nak cerita kan kat sini. Nanti spoil lah kan??? But whatever it is. Bagi gua, this is the climax of the movie. Sebab apa? Go and catch it if you want to know.

3. Masa Temah masuk klinik tu, ada satu poster yang memang aku rasa kelakar sangat. SOLUTION FOR ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION. Kalau tak silap gua, macam tu lah bunyinya. Hahaha... Ironinya, masalah tu kan satu masalah yang kini dah jadi satu epidemik mada masyarakat Malaysia? Mungkin Yasmin Ahmad ada sebab kenapa diselitkan poster tu.

4. Adegan-adegan yang mungkin nampak lucah pada pandangan mata biasa. Tetapi normal kalau kita fikirkan. Contohnya, masa Orked bumped into a weirdo yang nampak punggungnya, ataupun masa 2 nurse india baru lepas check sotong Pak Atan, adegan Orked berkemban dan adegan cabut bulu kat tetek Alan. Mungkin interpretasi orang akan mengatakan yang agak melampau untuk ditunjukkan pada umum. Bagi gua, the is nothing wrong with that. Memang betul pun benda tu berlaku, kan?

My Verdict :

Yang paling penting, lakonan semua dalam cerita tu, memang hebat-hebat belaka. I have to take my hat off for Namron dengan Adlin lah. They are talented. Namron sebagai Pak Bilal yang cool dan Adlin sebagai suami yang tak guna satu sen pun. Bermuka-muka, main kayu tiga, semua lah. Siap klentong Orked kata client dari Pensonic. Hahahha!! Yeah right!Adibah Noor (Kak Yam), played her character very well. What can I say about Sharifah Amani? She is born with the talent! She got her mother's trait lah. Same goes to Ida Nerina, Harith Iskander, Rozie Rashid, Nor Khiriah & Kiah (gua tak ingat nama betul dia). Maybe Alan could have improved a wee bit more. And I think that Nor Khiriah could do more. Gua selalu tengok dia dalam drama-drama. She is DAMN TALENTED lah.

Bagi aku, garapan Kak Yasmin dalam movie ni sangat kemas. Walaupun diselang selikan cerita Pak Bilal dan Orked, I did not miss out on what is happening. Cerita yang disampaikan sangat tersusun dan kita boleh faham apa yang ingin disampaikan. To add things up, sinematografinya, mudah, tak banyak shot shot yang pelik pelik dan menarik. It's not to say that it is not beautiful. Mungkin Kak Yasmin percaya yang Less is more maybe. Tapi aku suka pada mainan lighting cerita ni. It really goes with the flow with the movie. Aku rasa macam banyak still shot yang digunakan.. Entah! gua bukan expert sangat dalam bidang ni. Cuma that is what I feel.

Some things dalam cerita ni, still remain clueless. Contohnya, macam what really happened to Jason? Adakah dia benar benar hidup? Kalau ya, what has he been doing all these while? Apa yang sebenarnya terjadi kat Temah? Apa sebenarnya sakit dia? And what did ex-husband si If you got what I mean, that is. Filem ni membuatkan kita berfikir dan membolehkan kita buat summary atau interpretasi sendiri tentang macam mana benda tu boleh jadi.

Filem ni tak perlukan rumah besar, kereta mewah, motor berkuasa tinggi untuk menangkap perhatian penonton. For me,apa yang filem ni sampaikan is the real side of life. Sebab tu filem ni dekat dengan kita. Sebab apa? Sebab it potrays the simplicity of life.

Maaf kalau review ni nampak kompleks! Terlampau banyak yang nak diceritakan dalam ruang yang terlampau sedikit ni. Apa-apa pun, you should take the time off and watch this movie. Educate yourself. Jangan anggap satu hiburan aje. Okay?

Adios!!

Waaah!!! 2 masuk office... Masuk-masuk... meja gua dah macam tapak pelupusan sampah!!! Semua dicampak kan kat meja gua... On monday, took leave for the sake to go and watch V for Vendetta!!! My reviews were given at an earlier entry.

 

Yesterday, had to attend a training organized by the Human Resource Department in my company. Inner Self of an Effective People. Facilitated by En. Muhsin from Top Performers Learning and Consultants Sdn Bhd. Basically the objective of the program is for us to identify our inner strength that we should practice everyday.

 

Franky speaking, I did not put much hope at first. I thought that it was going to be bloody damn boring and another of those program where you will listen to the facilitator and by 11.00 am, you will start yawning. Tapi to my least expectation, IT WAS GOOD. It was a funny session. I did not feel bored even a bit. The facilitator was good, the itenaries was good. The attendees was participative.

 

Mula-mula tu, facilitator to macam a bit shy ke aper entah. Lawak dia macam jadi tak jadi. But, as the session goes on, dan dengan dia dah kenal dengan kitorang a bit more, dia mula lah lawak dia yang ada unsur-unsur lucah tu. Hahahaha... memang kitorang gelak sampai nak pecah perut lah.. yang cina-cina tu.. ada yang faham, mana yang tak tu, terkebil-kebil aje lah pandang kitorang gelak. Hahaha!!!!

 

Masa mula-mula gua masuk bilik tu, the first thing that came to my mind was " Alah... Ape jadahnye lah training ni.. buang masa aku aje"...  I was a little bit reluctant at first. Rasa macam it was a waste of my time. But it turned out good. I can say that I am speaking for the whole class.. WE ENJOYED IT.

 

The facilitator : Wan Mohd Muhsin. Alah.. orang sini jugak.. He reminds me alot about Phua Chu Kang. I don't know why! Tapi dari gaya dia, from the way he talks, from his jokes, he really resembles PCK. Even my group member said the same thing to me. He know how to live up the class. Dengan lawak XXX dia, lawak cerita BMW dia. The only thing is that dia ni suka cerita panjang-panjang!! Ask him anything lah.. He can tell you stories again.. and again.. and again.. and again... 

 

The food : Morning break and afternoon break SUCKS BIG TIME!! Ntah apa punya kuih yang diorang hidangkan tu entah... aku pun telah aje lah... Air pun, rasa macam air longkang aje.. Tasteless!! What? They run out of sugar and milk is it? Cuma lunch aje was good. They served Nasi Ayam. Perrgghhh!!! Sehingga menjilat pinggan lah!! Dengan participants yang kelaparan, masing-masing makan tak hengat dunia lah!!

 

The participants : I know almost all of the people who came for the training. Some I knew for a very long time. Tapi kalau dah jumpa yang sekepala, apa lagi...!!! Jadi havoc dibuatnya.. The class was filled with laughter!!! Ada aje lawak kena mengenakan orang yang diorang buat. Tapi yang best nya, I got to meet new counterparts and acquaintances. People that is working under one roof with me, but heck, I have never knew these people eventhough I have bumped into them.. hahahahaha!!! Amoi nama Stephanie tu yang attracted me the most. She was just sitting beside me. Petite but just nice. Siap cakap bisik-bisik dengan gua tu yang gua tak tahan kan tu. heheheh!!! My imagination gone wild!!

 

The Program : We had few games, group discussions, ice breaker session. We started the day with a game as an Ice Breaker! Gave us a piece of paper and containing info's that we need to seek from other participants. It was good la.. The only thing, masa tak cukup. Tunggang terbalik bilik training kitorang yang bernilai RM 1.2 million tu! Everyone is trying their best, sampai terlanggar-langgar tetek lah!! Hahahah!!! Tapi yang paling best, game I KILLED THE VAMPIRE. The objective of the game was to guess when and what time we can kill the vampire; and what are the rational We were given a task containing a piece of paper with different sets of clues for each group. Our job was to negotiate and exchanges info's so that we can answer the questions. Hahaha... masing masung punya tangkai jering, tak nak bagi info's. At first, I did not mind to share mine lah, but looking at how stingy those people can be. Gua pun apa lagi, kedekut la.. I even gave them fasle information. Serves you right!!! HAHAHAHAHAH!! (disertakan dengan gelak setan gua). Sampai masa discussion time, facilitator tu sound jugak lah... hahaha.. but in a subtle manner lah kan..

 

But all in all, we really enjoyed the game and program. Lessons to be learnt. Macam macam yang kitorang belajar lah. Such as the Mind Models - Patterns, The Strategy to Change those patterns and more lah. Can't tell much about it. You have to experience it to know what I am talking about.

 

Points that I picked up :

• Start your day with drinking 500 ml of plain water. Jangan pulak korang pergi togok air Coke ke, Pepsi ke.. Tak ada hasil pun. This will cleanse all the toxic that we have collected during the day.
• If someone ask you " How are you?", Do not give the same ol' answer such as "Fine, thanks" or " I am good". Start with " FANTASTIC"and Insya allah! It will brighten your day.
• Do you know that we have aura or energy surrounding ourselves. And this aura or energy has the power or vibes to effect others. Macam kalau kita " tak mendapat masa malam jumaat lah" hehehe.. aura kita jadi biru.. And I learnt that we have the power to change these aura's.
• Our mind is divided into 3 parts. The Concious Mind, Sub-concious Mind and the Filter. Sub-concious ni kira macam our dumping sites lah. But it is most important as this is the part that will create our SELF-IMAGE. The Concious Mind containes what we fo every day and our 5 senses. The filter is what we allow and do not allows these aura's to interchange between those 2 parts.
• We hold the remote control that determines our behaviour, attitude and emotions. There are external factors that will try to interfere and interrupt, but it is up to us to hold, throw or accept it.
• At last, SMILE people.. Smile!!!

 

That's all for now.. Cheerios! Adios Muchachos!

Director : James McTeigue

Screenplay : Andy Wachowski &Larry Wachowski

In a nutshell : Set against the futuristic landscape of totalitarian Britain, V For Vendetta tells the story of a mild-mannered young woman named Evey (NATALIE PORTMAN) who is rescued from a life-and-death situation by a masked man (HUGO WEAVING) known only as “V.” Incomparably charismatic and ferociously skilled in the art of combat and deception, V ignites a revolution when he urges his fellow citizens to rise up against tyranny and oppression. As Evey uncovers the truth about V’s mysterious background, she also discovers the truth about herself – and emerges as his unlikely ally in the culmination of his plan to bring freedom and justice back to a society fraught with cruelty and corruption.

With Evey( Natalie Portman) narrating the storyline, it seems kind of easy to understand. If there were no narration, I am sure that not anyone can catch the ingridients of the movie. This film revolves around the political situation and corrupted England somewhere in the near future. How politicians can disrupt the human mind and about how human can, could and would react dalam situasi yang berbeza. How V would go and kill each of his victim, pastu menggelabah monyet si Chancellor tu. Baru penangan satu orang, dah panas bontot dia dibuatnya...

Natalie Portman played her characted well. As a confused girl, in search of a surreal identity, who ends up at the wrong place at the wrong time. Dia ni rupa-rupanya anak yatim piatu di mana mak bapak dia pun freedom fighter jugak. Mak dia kena bunuh right in front of her eyes. So, trauma lah dia sepanjang hayat. She even went through the same experience masa boss dia kena bunuh lepas memperbodohkan si Chancellor yang hanya tau muncul dalam skrin plasma besar gedabak tu ajer.

Hugo Weaving, gua sebenarnya teringin sangat nak tengok dia bukak topeng tu. Darn! Tak dapat pula. Even after he died and was put in the train, tak bukak-bukak jugak!! Teringin aku nak tengok macam mana hodohnya rupa dia lepas kena first degree burn tu. But nonetheless, he played V very well. Misteri dan gelapnya character V ni.

As for the rest of the character, aku rasa everyone dah played their part quite well. Creedy, Finch, Sutler, Delia etc..

All in all, I would give this movie ***1/2 / *****.

My say : I took leave just to go and watch this movie with Mr Iron Board, hahahah!!! Nahh.. not really... Went to finish some errands first before I went and watch this movie. Anyway, my expectations was that this is an action movie. Well, considering the tittle. Vendetta! Vengeance! Least I expected that this movie was more phylosophical that it looks.

A lot of metaphores are used and slotted in this movie that we have to interprete it dalam-dalam sebelum we can understand it. Contohnya macam satu scene tu, big boss si Evey ni tunjuk his secret room yang penuh dengan barang - barang masa dia jadi loyal followers of the cult. Ada pulak satu Al - Quran Abad ke 14 yang cantik terletak kat dalam glass cube. Evey siap tanya boss dia, "Are you a Muslim.?" he replied "No. But that does not mean that i cannot enjoy the beautiful words in it". Bagi aku lah, this shows yang all religion is fair.

Gua tak anggap movie ni ringan but I feel that we have to think alot. To understand and to absorb what this movie is trying to say. Tak ada satu scene pun dalam movie ni yang kritik islam. DIa cuma directkan kepada pengertian yang manusia ni boleh berubah dan sanggup berubah untuk apa apa saja. They are willing to do anything just for the sake of politik. Haram jadah punya politicians (ooppsss!! Am I allowed to say that??)

Yang paling buat aku kecewa, Natalie Portman pi cantas rambut dia just for the sake of the movie. Aduh!!! Kesiannya.... Awek gua cun-cun macam tu!!! Tapi bagi gua, it is worthwhile considering pengorbanan dia dalam movie ni. Heard that kat North America, movie ni collected about USD 100 m in a week!!! Power.. Bila lah agaknya kita nak sampai macam tu kan?

Delia Surridge: Are you going to kill me now?

V: I killed you ten minutes ago while you were sleeping.

Delia Surridge: Will it be painful?

V: No.

Delia Surridge: Thank you. Is it meaningless to apologize?

V: Never.

Delia Surridge: I'm so sorry.
