rabu - 24/12/03 - aku dpt balik pukul 5pm sbb christmas eve, so blh lepak lama sikit kat rumah sblm pegi hantar gendon ke klinik. dr intan bagi dia makan ubat cacing dan cucuk vaksin. so, lepas ni tunggu sethn lagi baru pegi klinik semula. singgah kedai vcd, aku beli monalisa smile, moonlight mile ngan yamakasi.
khamis - 25/12/03 - balik seremban dgn gendon, diy balik johor, zal gi rumah makcik dia kat puchong. petang tu aku gi beraya kat rumah kawan rapat aku liza. raya dah habis tapi dia buat gak lontong ngan rendang utk aku. kinead ngan journ pun ada. journ bawak anak dia, comel. kita org ni kawan dr form one. rumah masing2 pun tak le jauh sgt. tapi camna sibuk pun, weddings, birthdays, kenduri, bersalin, kita org mesti usaha dtg. daripada enam org, aku ngan liza je yg tak kawin lagi. hehehe... lepas rumah liza gi rumah zura tengok baby dia yg baru lahir. comelnya. lepas tu hantar journ balik rumah, aku ngan liza gi centrepoint sekejap. aku jumpa kasut cun harga RM10. apa lagi belilah.
sekarang ni aku ler jadi driver dia org. dulu kinead yg first beli kereta, so nak gi mana2 dia yg jemput aku ngan liza. lepas tu liza lak beli kereta, dia plak jadi driver jemput aku ngan kinead. aku plak org yg paling last beli kereta, so skrg ni aku ngan liza bergilir jadi supir.
aku sebenarnya merajuk ngan kakak aku sbb tak bagi tau mak ngan abang2 aku nak gi singapore tengok nenek. kakak aku kata kenapa tak bawak balik passport. aku kata apa hal lak aku nak bawak passport ke hulu ke hilir. dia kata kalau benda lain aku blh bawak balik apsal passport tak leh bawak balik. aku kata apsal yg dia takleh nak telepon aku, bukannya susah pun nak tepon. aku pun bengang lah. mak aku kata dah ler tu. abang aku kata pegi le balik ambik, bukannya jauh kl tu. tapi bila dah tua ni, takde ler pulak aku nak merajuk teruk2 macam masa kecik2. rasa bodoh plak kalau merajuk.
dulu masa aku kecik, abg aku penah bagi aku t-shirt bertulis adik manja yg dia beli kat nyonya jual klorox yg selalu dtg rumah aku tu. ada sbb dia bagi aku t-shirt tu sbbnya aku kuat merajuk. lps tu tak blh kena tinggal, pantang mak aku nak pegi mana2 mesti aku nak ikut. kalau kena tinggal mesti aku melalak-lalak macam org giler. agaknya camna abg2 dgn kakak2 aku blh tahan dgn perangai aku yek!
jumaat - 26/12/03 - semua adik beradik berkumpul, nak bye bye kat mak ngan abang2 yg lain. drive carefully, kirim salam kat embah, bibik dan cousin2 yg lain pesan kita org ramai2.
saturday - 27/12/03 - aku gi kl, pegi kelas. hari ni aku belajar lagu aku statik (oag). first verse dgn second verse aku plucking jer. aku memang suka plucking. sampai kat chorus aku strumming. tapi yg menyampahnya chorus dia ada B minor. kalau tak, kira senang gak lagu ni tapi aku lemah ler B minor. cikgu aku kata next week dia ngan beberapa cikgu yg lain akan jamming lps class. kalau aku nak tengok boleh lah stay. eh mestilah aku nak tengok. habis class aku tengok zal tak habis lagi. aku ambik acoustic, zal plak ambik classical. class dia ada exam. tak kuasa aku. dia kena marah ngan cikgu dia sbb dia dah lupa note2 yg dia belajar sblm ni. dah ler main lagu bengawan solo. apa taknya dah sebln aku tengok dia tak praktis dan tak gi class. lepas class, aku terus balik seremban balik.
ahad - 28/12/03 - aku ngan liza pegi jumpa auntie kat plaza library utk pulangkan buku. kali ni, aku pinjam buku paling lama, ada ler dlm 4 bulan. nasib baik auntie tak marah. dulu kalau aku pinjam 15 buah buku, aku blh habis dlm dua minggu tapi skrg 4 bulan. aku pinjam 20 buah buku lak kali ni. tengok berapa lama aku boleh habis. aku bagi auntie hadiah buku mary higgins clark. suka sgt dia. dia kata dia dah ada 8 buku mary higgins termasuk yg aku bagi tu ler. kedai buku dia ni memang buruk, tingkat atas, tersorok, lps tu sebelah hotel yg reputationnya sungguh meragukan. dulu aku penah tersalah naik tapi baru sampai lima anak tangga ada stu perempuan tak bagi aku naik. lps tu aku dah tak salah masuk lagi.
kat kedai ni ler aku kenal barbara cartland, john grisham, james patterson, william diehl, stephen king dan ramai lagi author. entah berapa lama agaknya kedai ni blh bertahan sbb auntie kata org dah tak ramai yg membaca. aku akan jadi org yg paling sedih kalau auntie terpaksa tutup kedai dia sbb takde pelanggan.
anita mui was dead. all of a sudden i feel sad. i mean, i dont know her personally, why should i feel sad, right? i called diy straight away and told her about the news. she was aghast.
i guess we were both sad because we sort of grew up with her, her songs, her movies. In a way, she had made us laughed, cried angry and smiled through her acting and singing. she had managed to touch our life through the small screen and for that we thanked her. rest in peace! Anita Mui Yim Fong.
aku baru tengok french film yamakasi produced by luc besson, pengarah yg buat film taxi tu.
yamakasi tu berasal dari perkataan zaire - strong spirit, strong body, strong man. memang ler kalau dah 200 kali cuba utk perfectedkan jump dia org dr satu bangunan ke satu bangunan yg lain tanpa guna tali.
aku suka tengok filem ni w/pun byk comment yg aku jumpa kutuk gila filem ni. alamak, dia org ni pun. what do u expect from an action movie. biasak le tu french movie memang camtu. dia org kena paham jokes org french ni. dia org tu memang giler, sarcastic dan ada huge sense of humour esp through dia org punye movie and also likes to make fun of themselves and the french culture. aku ada sorang kawan french-algerian, he's an award-winning photojournalist. aku ingat dia ni mesti macam grand jer tapi bila dah jumpa, alamak kasik jokes bangang je everytime jumpa.
so what kalau plot yamakasi tak strong. merompak org kaya utk membantu org susah. melihat integrity polis, politician dan doktor yg almost non-existant. at least dia org ni buat stunt yg real takde pakai bantuan komputer. sbb tu pelakonnya semua bukan pelakon tapi group yamakasi yg real punyer. jadi lakonan dia org memang stiff ler sikit.
luc besson sebenarnya tertarik ngan group yamakasi yg sebenar. dia org ni suka panjat bangunan tanpa guna apa2 alat keselamatan. rasanya sport ni hanya ada kat paris je dan dah diiktiraf kalau tak silap aku. dia org ni memang pakar panjat bangunan, bridge, stairs dan wall macam spider betul tanpa perlu pakai apa2 pun. seronok tengok action yg dia org buat. panjat sana, panjat sini, gayut sana, gayut sini, so very agile like monkey. sekejap jer dah sampai kat rooftop. defied graviti so to speak.
sinopsis cerita ni tentang 7 org anak muda yg suka panjat bangunan just for the fun of it dan utk menguji ketangkasan masing2. tapi dia org suka panjat bangunan waktu subuh supaya aksi dia org tu tak diikut oleh budak2 kecik. tapi mengganggu plak org2 yg tidur sampai ada yg ingat dia org tu pencuri.
selalu ler dia org ni kena kejar polis. kata ketua kumpulan tu, sitting bull, lebih baik dia org panjat bangunan daripada hidu gam atau melepak tak tentu arah.
dia org ni tak sedar yg dia org tu dah jadi idola budak2 kecik kat kwasan tempat tinggal dia org sampailah satu hari sorang budak ni jatuh dr pokok sbb nak imitate the yamakasi. budak tu lak ada sakit jantung yang memerlukan transplant dlm 24 hours. tapi doktor tu kata takde donor unless kalau family budak tu can come out with 400, 000 francs. maksudnya kalau ada duit baru blh bincang ler, kalau tak tunggu ler sampai mati.
group yamakasi ni pun rasa bersalah, dia org pun ambik jln mudah gi rompak rumah2 board members hospital tu. memang semua kaya2 la kan. masa dia org gi rompak ni ler, action campur komedi. memang cerita ni bangang giler tapi terhibur lah jugak.
dia org ni konon2nya cam robin hood moden ler. kalau jepun ada seven samurai, hollywood ada magnificent seven, france ada yamakasi. last2 dia org dpt ler kumpul duit hasil curian tu utk bantu budak kecik tadi. kira niat dah betul tapi cara salah ler kan. aku rasa kalau takde benda nak buat boleh lah tengok citer ni. kalau tak suka jgn marah kat aku lak.

aku termiss konsert gigi ngan beyond. dua konsert yg aku paling nak tengok dan aku tak dapat pergi. isk!isk!
what's in store next year????.
i have a confession to make. i am a perfume fetishist. i can't live without one. if it wasnt so expensive, i'll even wear it to sleep. am i crazy or what?
me think, it's the most cleverest of human inventions. i love the soft smell of fresh flowers and bamboo of the Issey Miyake. hmmmm!! the fruity smell of Burberry, the elegant smell of Fifth Avenue from Elizabeth Arden, the slightly strong smell of Estee Lauder's Pleasure Intense, Lancome's Tresor that lingers in the air making people want to puke (hehehe..), the sweet smell of Sui Love by Anna Sui and the delicious smell of Ibiza Hippie by Escada.
these are the smells that has accompanied me throughout my adult life. these smells are my trademark among friends. perfumes are the only temptation that I failed to curb. my sin, my fetish that is the perfume. the only luxury that i allow myself, not clothes, not handbag, not shoes and not jewelleries but perfumes.
but when i die, i will probably wear another kind of perfume, a cheap, affordable perfume that everybody, rich and poor wear for the last time. the last smell that people closest to me will always remember. no, not the branded perfumes for sure...
senarai buku2 yang aku nak kena habiskan baca thn ni:-
1. Companero - The Life and Death of Ernesto "Che" Guevara by Jorge G. Castraneda. Dah almost two years, aku masih tak habiskan buku ni. aku suka buku ni sbb writer dia tak bias sgt. at least dia tak potray "che" tu macam saint.
2. One Hundred Years of Solitude - Gabriel Garcia Marquez Lagi setengah nak habis. Best giler cerita generasi keluarga Buendia yg berasal dr South American jungle.
3. Isabel Allende - The Stories of Eva Luna - Lagi dua chapter je. buku ni cam cerita seribu satu malam. short stories semua.
4. Isabel Allende - Of Love and Shadows - Diy punye, aku baru nak pinjam.
5. Suara Dari Dinding Dewan - A. Samad Said - Koleksi puisi Pak Samad yg aku tak usik lagi. Tapi buku ni aku dpt signature dia. hehehe...
rasa cam tak sempat je nak habis sume buku2 ni. maybe cuti empat hari ni, aku boleh kut. yea! aku boleh!
i have been seaching for this vcd for ages. petaling street sellers said they didnt have it and i refused to buy the original. but a chance meeting with the shop at damansara made my day.
turn left turn right was adapted from a best-selling novel by jimmy liao. according to the author, life is full of coincidences. i'll second to that.
gigi leung was eve, a translator who loves to read wislawa szymborska's poem, love at first sight. she had to learn the polish language for this movie while takeshi was john, a violinist whose music didn't get much audience in a city like taipei.
this film is about chance meeting, co-incidences, funny surprises and romance which i believed happened to lots of people in our every day life.
the synopsis:
The two main characters of the tale happen to live not only in the same town and the same street but also in the same building divided only by their private four walls. Yet, they never directly meet because one of them habitually always turns left, while the other one sticks to the right direction. Everything seems to take a miraculous turn for them both after their first encounter in a park that gets them to know each other better. But as luck would have it an afternoon shower cuts their rendezvous short and their exchanged phone numbers are no longer readable. Is their any way for this charming couple to get in touch again?
a simple love story that can make you laugh and cry at the same time. the story has a happy ending but i wonder how many of us do end up like them? as a wise man once said "kalau jodoh tak ke mana".
basically, i think the film can be built from the poem itself:-
Love at First Sight
by Wislawa Szymborska
Both are convinced
that a sudden surge of emotion bound them together.
Beautiful is such a certainty,
but uncertainty is more beautiful.
Because they didn't know each other earlier, they suppose that
nothing was happening between them.
What of the streets, stairways and corridors
where they could have passed each other long ago?
I'd like to ask them
whether they remember-- perhaps in a revolving door
ever being face to face?
an "excuse me" in a crowd
or a voice "wrong number" in the receiver.
But I know their answer:
no, they don't remember.
They'd be greatly astonished
to learn that for a long time
chance had been playing with them.
Not yet wholly ready
to transform into fate for them
it approached them, then backed off,
stood in their way
and, suppressing a giggle,
jumped to the side.
There were signs, signals:
but what of it if they were illegible.
Perhaps three years ago,
or last Tuesday
did a certain leaflet fly
from shoulder to shoulder?
There was something lost and picked up.
Who knows but what it was a ball
in the bushes of childhood.
There were doorknobs and bells
on which earlier touch piled on touch.
Bags beside each other in the luggage room.
Perhaps they had the same dream on a certain night,
suddenly erased after waking.
Every beginning
is but a continuation,
and the book of events
is never more than half open.
-translated by Walter Whipple
yea! hari ni aku dpt vcd ROTK dvd version lagi. hahaha (gelak jahat). tak payah ler aku beratur panjang kat panggung. RM7 utk 3 vcds ok ler tu.
pegi ampang park tgh hari tadi beli keset baru sheila on 7 yg dah lama giler aku tunggu tu - 30 Hari Mencari Cinta. cukup ler koleksi sheila on 7 aku dr album first sampai album ni. nak tengok pembaharuan apa yg dia org buat dlm album ni lak.
tak sabarnya nak tengok rotk mlm ni tapi ada cerite best lak kat axn - the shield - cerita favourite aku. maybe lepas tu kot kalau aku tak ngantuk.
akhirnya kereta aku terbasuh juga. so, rain, rain go away, come again some other day (nyanyi ikut gaya Nine Inch Nails). jgn ler hujan petang ni kalau tak aku pasti kecewa.
aku rasa2 keta aku ni adalah dekat nak sebulan tak basuh. aku rasa cam tak berbaloi jer nak basuh. tapi memang aku selalu camtu pun. selagi keta aku ni tak nampak cam besi buruk selagi tu aku tak hantar basuh. apa nak jadi ngan aku ni agaknya.
tadi hantar borang cuti, aku rasa nak cuti ler hari jumaat ni, boleh lepak kat seremban lama sikit. aku tak balik kg sejak lepas cuti raya ari tu. ish teruknye aku ni. rindu kat mak aku. yea! bss aku dah signkan.
sabtu, aku gi kelas. cikgu aku ajar strumming country style pulak. down, down, up, down, up, down. camna org boleh main gitar dgn poyonya. aku rasa nak baling gitar tu kat dinding. kenapa ada org cipta B minor. camna nak tukar chord tanpa berenti strumming. arghh!!!!!
abis class aku, diy ngan zal gi beli brg dapur kat midvalley. alamak, apa hal sumer parking penuh ni, giler banget. last2 masuk ikut jln belakang parking kat yg reserved punye. nasib ler.
beli brg dapur utk sebulan, beli makanan gendon, beli berus lantai dan brg keperluan sendiri, rasa2nya dah tak shopping lagi dah lepas ni. jawabnya, makan roti loh! hehehe...lepas shopping terus balik rumah sbb nak tengok xpdc kat astro. best gak show dia org.
ahad, gi open house kat kajang, makan cam tak ingat dunia. lepas tu gi subang lak. jam giler. dekat2 pukul 9pm baru ler sampai rumah. penat giler tapi tiba2 teringat berus lantai yg baru dibeli dgn pencuci lantai yg berbau epal segar. tak sabar rasanya nak pakai. terus gi basuh bilik air. hmm! harumnya bilik air kita org. lepas tu tepat jam 9.55 pm as usual aku buat air kopi, hmm game Milan - Udinese dah nak start...
i don't watch the news on tv anymore. it's so depressing and the things people do to each other nowadays are unthinkable and mind-blowing so to speak.
during the attack on afghan and iraq by the US and its allies, i was glued to the television almost 24/7. i went into every war forums availabled on the internet. along the way, i've gained a few friends and collected a few enemies too. hey! everybody is entitled to his/her own opinion right!
i thought i need to do something to help the muslims over there. jihad was of course out of questions for me at least. doa', well, done that, but what else. i was so frustrated by the injustice done to the muslims over there. at the end, i, like the rest of the muslims in the world could do nothing. however, I could only write a poem to vent my anger and frustration.
What I Am
When I look
What I see
Is more a fantasy
Than it is a reality
When I look
What I see
A peaceful world
Without tragedy
It is more a fantasy
Than it is a reality
When I look
What I see
The children of the world
together happily
It is more a fantasy
Than it is a reality
When I look
What I see
A person who is cynical and lonely
And that is my reality
malas itu adalah satu penyakit. kalaulah ada penawar paling mujarab utk hilangkan penyakit malas ni, mesti akulah org pertama yg akan membelinya. dah tiga hari aku tak menulis sbb aku malas. byk perkara dan idea yg berlegar2 kat fikiran aku tapi habis macam tu jer sbb aku malas.
malam ni aku, diy ngan zal kena hantar gendon pegi klinik. second appointment dia, mesti dr intan nak cucuk lagi vaksin. dr intan mesti terkejut tengok saiz badan gendon yg dah berubah menjadi lebih gendon lagi. kucing ni memang dah tak terkawal lagi.
it's true what people said, you don't own the cat, it is the cat who own you. alahai gendon!!!! sometimes, i think she thought she was human.
esok aku akan sambung balik kelas gitar yg dah tertangguh sebulan disebabkan raya dan juga banyaknya majlis kenduri dan open house yg dibuat di hari sabtu. aku memang confirm pemalas. kalau man kidal praktis gitar 4 jam sehari, aku praktis 15 minit dah penat. rudy kristal pun praktis dua jam sehari. esok mesti cikgu aku suruh main lagu semangat yg hilang yg aku belajar sblm raya hari tu. dah sebulan pun tak pandai2 lagi.
semalam, aku, opis mate dan zal gi raya kat opis diy kat bangi. ceh sanggup pegi jauh2 pun. meriah giler jamuan raya opis dia. siap ada cabutan bertuah lagi. but as usual i was never the lucky one. sempat gak aku bersiar2 kat area bangi tu sebelum balik opis. hehehe...
kudos tu namron, elnie, mohd kamaludin and molizah for giving such brilliant act dlm projek suitcase last sunday.
aku memang respek giler kat org2 kreatif cam kau org ni. i wish i have half of their talent and creativity.
minah dan monyet, monsopiad, matderihkolaperlih dan la libre latifa mampu mengajak aku berfikir sedalam2nya tentang isu2 kehidupan yg selama ini aku pandang remeh.
aku kagum dgn karya yg dihasilkan oleh alfian saat, namron, aidli mosbit dan faisal tehrani utk projek suitcase ni. kalau tengok byk2 kali pun takpe.
isu2 yg disampaikan byk buat aku rasa makan cili terasa pedasnya.
nantilah kalau ada masa aku nak cerita tentang hasil2 karya ni dan persembahan brilliant oleh actor2 terbabit.
zidane menang lagi. arghh! aku tak percaya 35 coaches ni boleh nak pilih zidane. betul, he's one the best playmakers in football history but to give him the title world player of the year award sounds a little bit ridiculous cause he wasnt the player he used to be. tengok performance dia lately wasnt really impressive. ingat game juve-real jer cukup le dlm champions league last season.
aku rasa henry yg patut menang. a prolific striker cam dia, he's a team player, a highly-skilled individual and unstoppable. w/p aku tak sokong arsenal tapi aku respect ler henry.
paling tak pun, kalau bukan henry, nedved ler yg paling sesuai. he's brilliant atas padang. almost single-handedly bawak juve menang scudetto ngan final CL. laju, accurrate passing and hardworking - a dream player. dia macam robot yg tak tau penat, blh lari satu padang for 90 minutes non-stop. blh main dua2 belah kaki dgn bagusnya.
kata diy, mungkin ada konspirasi ni. hehehe...sbb zidane tu kelabnya Real MAdrid sbb tu dia menang. henry lak main kat arsenal yg tak penah menang champions league, itu je sbbnya. kalau camtu baik tak payah. i thought this is about player not a team.
lepas tu, asyik2 striker ngan midfielder je yg menang, defender tak penah dpt chance. eloknya maldini ke atau nesta yg menang kan ke bagus. thuram atau chivu pun ada potential. defends tu sendiri perlukan skill yg tinggi esp kalau nak stop strikers yg giler dan licik cam shevchenko ke atau pun saviola. dia org ingat senang nak mahirkan diri buat sliding tackle without jatuhkan the opponent. nak man-marking player, semua tu kena ada skill tapi tak penah ler dihargai.
tapi kalau ada pun defender yg dpt award ni, mestilah roberto carlos, defender yg giler nak score. ugh!!!
p/s: diy call aku dgn suara yg meriah hanya utk bagi tau, dia baru jer dapat tau Robert Pires dah bercerai ngan wife dia. so dia rasa pires tu memang jodoh dia. kalau blh sekarang gak dia nak gi london. hehehehe...
aku dah rasa lain dah bila bangun pagi tadi. rasa malas sgt nak gi keja tapi aku berkeras nak pegi gak sbb hari ini opis aku buat open house. hehehe...aku pun apa lagi gosok baju raya beriya2. dan-dan nak keluar tu, eh! mana kunci rumah aku??? bukak pintu tengok zal pegi kunci lak. selalunya dia tak kunci gril tu sbb aku yg last keluar. waaaaaaaaa!!!camna ni...
handpon aku lak tak leh call out. aku pun duduk le balik sambil mengenang nasib aku yg malang krn akan kempunan tak dpt makan free hari ni. terbayangkan sate, rendang dan teh tarik yg aku sure akan ada sbb asyik itu je menunya setiap thn. ;-) gendon pun heran tengok aku, mesti kalau dia blh cakap, dia akan tanya aku, apsal lu tak pegi keja lagi???
aku pun mula ler pikir yg bukan2, camna kalau rumah ni caught on fire? dan tah apa2 lagi. tiba2 jeng, jeng, jeng!!!! handphone aku bunyi, alhamdulillah!. nasib baik ada satu colleague aku yg baik ni, kalau dah nak dekat pukul 9 tu aku tak muncul2 dia mesti tepon tanya aku kat mane. aku pun apa lagi suruh dia call zal, balik bukakkan pintu utk aku.
pukul 9.30 am, zal balik, nasib baik opis dia dekat ngan rumah. gelak sakan ler dia kat aku. sampai opis, alamak, majlis dah start, ramainya org. ish! satu bangunan tau aku dtg lambat ler gamaknya. tapi yg bestnyer, dtg2 terus makan. hahaha!!!!
naik opis, aku tepon diy, tanya kunci aku kat dia tak?
aku: wei, kau ada ambik kunci aku ker? aku dtg lambat ari ni, kunci rumah takde tau.
diy: mana ada aku ambik.
aku: aku rasa kau yg last pakai kunci aku.
diy: nanti aku carilah, aku dah hilang ingatan ler sekarang.
aku: itulah kau, tak pasal2 gendon kena tuduh ngan aku.
diy: hehehe...
tak lama tu aku dpt sms dr diy kata kunci tu ada dlm beg dia. dia kata padan ler berat beg dia. ceh! hampeh!
client mangkuk ni, tak reti2 lagi ke. kan dah hantar memo cakap opis sampai pukul 6 jer. nak jugak hantar release last minute. geramnya aku. dah le stuck kat opis ni. uwaaaa! aku nak balik.
hari ni mood aku nak dengar lagu jepun, jadi aku menulis weblog ni diiringi dgn koleksi lagu2 jepun aku.
hampeh lu gendon, kasih sayang yg gua curahkan selama ni kat lu, lu balas dgn mencakar muka gua yg cun ni. kalau lu nak cakar pun cakar le kat tangan ker, kat kaki ker. ni lu cakar kat muka gua. udah le besok gua ada wedding nak pegi, habih le jatuh saham gua.
muka gua dah macam latif borgiba kalau jadi jahat cerita pendekar thn 60-70an dulu. parut penuh sebelah muka. cis! gua takkan maafkan lu, gua masak lu goreng tepung baru lu tau, tak pun gua panggang. ish! tak guna punya kucing, u've bitten the hands that feed you. ungrateful creature. gua gunting misai lu baru lu tau. uwaaaaaaaaa!
malam tadi malam penuh bara!!! ceh! sebenarnya aku diy ngan zira gi rumah bee kat putra height nak tolong dia siapkan benda yg remeh2 cam bungkus gula2 utk tetamu for wedding dia sabtu ni. mula2 jemput zira kat kl sentral. dah kat sethn lebih aku tak jumpa ex-classmate aku kat itm ni. zal lak gi jumpak kawan dia.
selalunya kalau outing mana2, mesti zal yg drive w/p guna keta aku sbb aku tak suka drive sgt. jadi bila dah camni kena pandai2 ingat jln sendiri. padahal subang parade tu le tempat lepak aku dulu2, tapi bila gi sendiri, alamak terlepas le plak simpang masuk. janji nak jumpak bee kat carrefour. drive punye drive, eh napa tak sampai2 carrefournya, sekali tengok ler dah terlajak ke taipan rupenye. tiga2 org pun samanye ler blur.
terpaksa ler bee jemput kita org kat masjid taipan tu. alamak jauhnya rumah bee dah nak sampai puchong. jln nak gi rumah dia punya le horror, lbh teruk dr jln nak gi rumah aku. aku ingat jln nak gi rumah aku plg teruk kat kl ni, rupanya ada yg lebih teruk lagi. lubang sana sini. jauh rumah mu bee.
bila sampai wah! cantik banget rumah2 kat sini. belum ramai yg duduk tapi memang stylo ler rumah dua tingkat ni. jatuh cinta aku kat rumah dia. tapi alamak jauh dr segala2nya ler. itu yg den lomah tu.
salam mak ngan kakak bee, lps tu kita org dijamu buah durian ngan kuih raya. cantiknya arch yg bee ngan kakak dia buat. creative giler minah ni rupenye. kita org pun terus start buat keja bungkuskan gula2 campur kurma. dah bungkus cantik2, ikat lak ngan ribbon. leka gak kita org buat keja tu. sedar2 dah pukul 1.30 pagi. eh macam tak keja, rumah kalau dekat takpe. itulah, sbb we all had a good time reminiscing about the old days sampai tak sedar waktu berjln dgn pantasnya.
kau dah nak kawin bee. cam tak caya jer. tapi tengok rumah dia, aku tau dia memang dah bersedia nak berkongsi hidup. lepas tu kita org makan nasi goreng lak sblm balik. masa tu pun dah pukul dua.
hantar zira balik sri kembangan, alamak ni lagi satu tempat jin bertendang ni. lampu jln pun takdak. sampai rumah dia dekat2 pukul 3 sbb ada tersesat sikit...but then again what else is new!!!!
cantiknya hiasan dlm rumah dia. aku rasa kalau dia masuk pertandingan mesti blh menang punye hiasan dalaman. aku impress giler. aku rasa nak dtg lagi nanti. cantik banget. pandai jugak minah ni, aku rasa dia dah salah ambik course ler dulu, patut dia ambik interior design.
nak balik ke kl, aku ngan diy sesat lagi, balik2 pusing kat astro ngan sek sukan bukit jalil. diy camna nak gi kat highway tu. ada le dlm 3-4 kali pusing baru jumpak jln keluar. bengap giler kita org dua org ni. sense of direction - zero.
sampai rumah pukul 4 pagi. aduh penatnye. bangun pagi ni malasnya nak gi keja, tapi pegi jugak. malam ni nak pegi lagi tolong bee. zal ikut ler kita org, dah tak larat nak sesat lagi....
dua tiga hari ni aku dpt kad ngan mail dr pen pal aku. dah lama rasanya kita org tak berbalas surat. last aku dpt poskad dr fabio, dia kirim masa gi cuti kat florida summer hari tu.
dia tanya dlm mail dia bila nak turun milan sbb aku ada cakap ngan dia aku akan gi milan next year. tapi kita selalu rancang je lebih, tuhan lbh berkuasa. jadi aku tak dpt nak gi thn depan, alamak tangguh lagi. tabung Road to Italy aku masih belum cukup le fabio. Mi Dispiace (im sorry dlm bahasa italy) hehehe...
entahlah, by the time aku dpt jejak kaki kat milan, entah2 anak dia pun dah besar. skrg kecik lagi cute giler. dah tiga tahun kita org berkawan aku harap friendship aku ngan dia takkan putus.
dia byk bagi semangat kat aku esp masa aku takde keja maghin.
dia bagi aku lagu peter gabriel buat suntik semangat yang hilang (ceh!wah! cam lagu xpdc lak) hehehe...
Don't Give Up
in this proud land we grew up strong
we were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail
no fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I've changed my face, I've changed my name
but no one wants you when you lose
don't give up
'cos you have friends
don't give up
you're not beaten yet
don't give up
I know you can make it good
though I saw it all around
never thought I could be affected
thought that we'd be the last to go
it is so strange the way things turn
drove the night toward my home
the place that I was born, on the lakeside
as daylight broke, I saw the earth
the trees had burned down to the ground
don't give up
you still have us
don't give up
we don't need much of anything
don't give up
'cause somewhere there's a place
where we belong
rest your head
you worry too much
it's going to be alright
when times get rough
you can fall back on us
don't give up
please don't give up
'got to walk out of here
I can't take anymore
going to stand on that bridge
keep my eyes down below
whatever may come
and whatever may go
that river's flowing
that river's flowing
moved on to another town
tried hard to settle down
for every job, so many men
so many men no-one needs
don't give up
'cause you have friends
don't give up

fabio siap nak contact branch tempat dia keja kat kl ni, nak tolong aku dpt keja. itu memang aku takkan lupa sampai bila2. w/p aku kata tak payah, tapi aku tetap terharu dgn kesungguhan dia. w/p berlainan bangsa dan agama dan tak penah jumpa tapi semangat setiakawan dia memang best.
dia gak yg kenalkan aku writers amerika selatan cam Isabelle Allende, Gabriel Garcia Marquez dan penyanyi italy eros ramazzotti. aku lak kenalkan dia kat m.nasir. hehehe...
dia memang gila travel gak. honeymoon dia pun kat sri lanka. dlm sethn tu dia mesti gi beberapa tempat utk bercuti.
aku ngan dia selalu gaduh pasal bola sbb dia die hard fan Inter Milan, aku lak AC Milan punye nombor 1 fan. skrg ni aku menang dlm bab ejek mengejek sbb dah beberapa kali derby ni Inter asyik kalah jer. aku ingat lagi bila aku kata kat dia sokonglah AC, dia punye marah, dia kata quote, "no way, Inter is in my DNA", unquote. aku pun tergelak baca tapi aku faham macam mana perasaan sayangnya dia pada clubnya tu.
w/p dia benci ac milan sepenuh hati tapi dia sanggup berkorban pegi kedai cenderamata milan kat san siro stadium utk belikan aku t-shirt milan sempena menang champions league last season. aku mintak dia belikan sbb milan tak jual t-shirt tu kat luar italy tapi dia bagi as a gift kat aku. hehehe...
aku baru je pos kat dia kad krismas ngan keychain bentuk wau yang aku beli kat kelantan dulu ngan magnet fridge bunga rafflesia aku beli kat sabah last october. harap2 sampai ngan selamatnya kat dia. dia tanya aku nak hadiah apa? nak t-shirt milan lagi ke? aku tanya kalau dia pos pemain milan Alessandro Nesta kat aku boleh tak? hehehe...
forza milan! forza nesta! forza fabio!
distortion 2003 was easily the best concert i've watched so far, not that i've watched many that is. but to watch 14 bands performed in one go for just RM37, it was well worth it and it's also for charity.
i haven't followed the local alternative scene for quite sometimes and i dont listen to radio at all. so, i went to the concert with an open mind and just wanted to enjoy the music.
we missed the first two bands' performanced though cause we only went after maghrib. our first band for the night was seven collar t-shirt. i've never listened to seven collar t-shirt music before but it was kinda love at first heard?? hear???hearing?sound??. this was honest music played straight from the heart. kudos to duan and gang.
gerhana ska cinta wasn't very impressived, for me at least. i was never a ska fan i guess. i dont really like the sounds of trumpet and sax at a first place and the male vocalist's voice was really terrible. sigh! another 10 to go.
then came Prana - the funk core rap group. they were simply great, they took my breath away. their songs are fresh and inspiring and eric the vocalist could give any of the Los Angeles base bands a run for their money.  i like his style though. cool guy.
naked breed's justin was obviously gifted and errr...bald. hehehe... he got a really great voice. his guitarist meanwhile was out of this world. (tell me lah, how to play like that?) justin looked frustrated at times because the crowd didnt go wild.
well, he's got a point there, the crowd was pretty mild for a rock concert. but of course eric couldnt see the three of us head banging ourselves to death because we were sitting down and so far away from the stage.
i think pretty ugly is perhaps the best group that KRU has ever had compared to the rest of their resident artists. these are a talented lots. witty lyrics, fresh melody and creative. after one song, their lead guitarist's string was broken and the vocalist while waiting played his guitar and sing - " tali guitar putus", take that for spontaneity.
i was more familiar with pop shuvit music and the vocalists point and moots really had the crowd gone wild with their hit - jump. moots's rapport with the audience was excellent. but they did remind of the rage against the machine.
flop poppy - well, i respect andy as a musician. he is creative and his guitar skill is impressive. but his songs and music have somehow mellowed over the years, more commercially inclined. even though he tried to change the songs into a slightly fast tune, the band didnt go well with the crowd. andy even got into a verbal fight with some of the fans who had probably provoked him. pity the band though. i think the band was in the wrong crowd.
koffin kanser need no introduction. one of the crowd's favourites. i miss listening to aru's trash, metalcore and reggae concepts of music. Stand up! Stand up for your right! simply the best show that night. i wanted to know who played the tabla/percussion though. so cute with the dreadlock. i've seen him before during the guitar festival at the Balai Seni Lukis a few months ago but he was playing with another band at that time.
it was obvious that 90% of the crowds came only to watch OAG. they went crazy watching radhi's antic on the stage. the band was indeed the crowd puller that night. everybody loves radhi and the band including yours truly. but im more interested in the guitarist Alim. that's because i've talked to him before. nice, shy and a very talented guy who doesn't read music notes but has the ability to come out with his own arrangement. Biru was his and it's absolutely brilliant.
after OAG, lots of the fans started leaving the stadium missing the last two performances by love me butch and nervewrecks. it was almost 12 midnight anyway.
both bands were great and im too lazy to write about their performanced but nervewrecks gave a perfect end to the unforgettable night of raw music.
alternative is not dead...
In the morning sun
I opened my eyes
A myriad of colours
Greeted me with open arms
Colours that I saw, a mirror of my life
The colour of the sun
A reflect of a person I hoped to be
The stark white ceiling almost blinded me
But that's the character I longed to have
For the innocence in me was forever lost
The black of my hair
created sins in men's eyes
cover it so I should be forever hidden
In the morning sun
I opened my eyes
A myriad of colours
Greeted me with open arms
Meaning that I am still alive
Forever trying to reach the blue sky

sepanjang hidup aku, cuma 5 buah sajak je yg mampu aku hasilkan. sajak colours of my life ni sajak pertama aku. masa aku tulis sajak ni, aku tgh depress gila babi sbb baru kena buang keja. sakit hati giler kena buang keja, rasa cam diri aku tak bernilai satu sen pun. dah le nak dpt keja masa tu susah, nasib aku le grad masa recession.
masa tu aku sebenarnya dpt 3 tawaran keja serentak. i chose the road less traveled and ended up jobless a year after. masa tu memang nyosal giler tapi sekrg bila fikir balik aku byk timba pengalaman masa keja kat situ sebenarnya. yelah kira pioneer badge, kena came out with something yg baru, yg different tapi tulah nasib tak baik sbb it all depends on readers gak.
masa unit kita org dipanggil mengadap GM, kengkawan yg lain dah nangis2 giler, boss aku pun senyap jer bila GM bagi reason nape dept tu nak ditutup. aku lak bengang tengok boss aku tak nak pertahankan dept kita org, terus le aku jadi marah, bila aku marah aku pun fight back, aku belasah cukup2 le cakap apa yg aku tak puas hati, blah...blah...blah...tapi keputusan dia org tetap muktamad. ceh! membazir air liur aku je.
tapi lepas tu GM panggil aku kata dia nak aku tetap keja kat situ tapi jawatan lain, tapi aku cakap kat dia thanks but no thanks. i was too disilussioned at that time. lepas tu masa menganggur 4 bulan aku memang felt really low. aku tak mau balik kg, tak mau mintak duit kat mak lagi.
idea nak tulis sajak ni dtg masa aku naik bas yg penuh cam sardin, aku berdiri mengadap tingkap, org2 lain dlm bas tu dah tentu ada destinasi masing2, nak ke tempat keja ke atau mana2 pun, aku plak rasa nak suruh bas tu jalan dan terus jln tanpa berenti. masa tu cahaya matahari tepat kena kat muka aku, silau giler, hati lak sedih masa tu, tiba2 je dtg idea nak tulis sajak ni dan inilah hasilnya, sajak yg entah apa2. hehehe....
tak macam housemate aku diy, dia blh buat sajak out of nothing. sajak plak pelbagai, happy, sad and funny depending on her mood at that time. aku tak blh. skrg ni kalau aku perah otak camna pun aku tak blh gak nak karang satu sajak. early this year, aku gi kursus kat INTAN, lecturer tu cakap kat aku kadang2 seseorg tu akan hanya come out with a good poem kalau ada melalui peristiwa2 yg menyedihkan. tormented soul ke apa dia cakap dulu. to each his own I guess.
esok opis mate aku nak betunang. alhamdulillah sampai gak jodoh adik aku ni. dia yg paling rapat ngan aku sbb dpt keja kat sini serentak w/pun jawatan lain2. umur pun tak jauh, aku tua 2 thn je dr dia.
aku bukan ape, aku nak tengok dia happy sbb awal thn dulu byk tragedi berlaku kat dia ngan family dia. murah sgt air mata masa tu termasuklah aku pun. tak sanggup rasanya tengok apatah lagi dia sekeluarga yg menanggung. aku harap pertunangan ni at least boleh gembirakan dia dan mak dia.
esok, aku ngan housemates akan gi rumah dia, ish! mesti byk juadah terhidang, hehehe...aku tanya menu, dia kata rahsia. hampeh! abih tu terpaksa le aku ponteng kelas gitar. sori ler cikgu, gua nak pegi makan besar. hehehee...miss lagi kelas, bila nak pandai camni.
lepas tu mlmnya nak gi tengok konsert rock Distortion 2003 kat stadium merdeka. dah berthn2 aku tak jejak area ni. last aku gi masa sheila majid punya konsert kat stadium negara, itu pun sbb masa tu aku ngan geng2 itm yg lain buat part time jual tiket konsert kat booth stadium. lps tu takleh nak balik hostel sbb masa dah lebih . lepak kat a&w ktm sampai pagi, lepas tu baru ambik bas 222. nostalgic giler.
kalau tak kerana terlibat ngan OIC summit oct hari tu, mesti aku dah jejak kaki lebih awal kat stadium merdeka ni sbb nak tengok konsert 20th anniversary Beyond. 1983-2003. sedih giler tak dpt tengok sbb aku tunggu punye lama. last dia org buat konsert kat kl thn 1993, 3 months before vocalist dia mati. aku tak tengok yg tu. takkan aku nak tunggu 20 thn lagi, masa tu aku dah 49 thn. gila, dia org pun belum tentu hidup lagi masa tu.
nasib baik aku dpt gi tengok autograph session dia org kat sunway. dah ler aku 2 org je ngan zal budak melayu yg dtg tengok, pakai tudung lak tu. lps tu dah le tak paham bahasa kantonis sgt. hehehe...lawak tapi dpt gak ambik gambar dia org. aku rasa nak cerita lagi pasal beyond, rock band dr hong kong ni satu hari nanti, kalau aku rajin. lagu sedap2 giler rugi kalau tak kongsi. aku rasa ramai yg dah start sekolah masa thn 80-an tau group beyond ni.
thn ni byk gak aktiviti kesenian yg kita org gi tengok. setakat tengok dan support blh ler tapi nak involve secara langsung memang tak mungkin ler kot. nanti aku bubuh senarai thn ni punye.
malasnya nak nulis hari ni. hari ni hari malas aku. sebenarnya hari2 aku malas tapi hari ni hari termalas aku. tapi boring ler plak kalau tak nulis. takpelah aku nulis jugak ler sikit.
smlm aku, diy ngan zal buat dajal tapi aku baik sikit la sbb aku balik opis balik. dia org terus melingkup balik rumah. tapi sbb aku abih keja pukul nam, diy pukul lima, zal pukul 4.15. so tak bebaloi le dia org nak balik opis pun.
show start pukul 3. patut satu jam je, tapi terlebih sikit so aku tak sempat nak tengok sampai habis. yg bestnya bos aku cuti sebulan jadi aku macam tikus yg menari2 ler gamaknya.
show U-Stage kat muzium negara smlm free je. tak tau nape dia buat pukul 3 hari keja. buat le hujung minggu ke kan senang. u-stage ni dibawakan khas oleh Japan foundation. u-stage ni sebenarnya adalah japanese street performance. group teater ni based kat nakano, barat tokyo.
ini memang persembahan raw punye. tak perlu ada proper stage. apa yg group ni tekankan ialah interaksi dgn audiens. sbb tu dia org blh buat kat mane2 atas jalan raya ke, etc...aku suka tengok pakaian tradisi dia org, unik dan cantik.
ada chindon performance atau traditional marching band. dia org jln sambil main alat muzik traditional jepun lepas tu lalu di celah2 penonton. memang best giler. lepas tu ada persembahan solo guitar jepun (tak tau apa namenye). best giler tengok dia strum selamba jer. lepas tu nyanyi lagu jepun siap ajak audiens nyanyi sama. selagi kita org tak nyanyi, dia tak puas hati. dia org tau beberapa perkataan melayu so dia org guna utk berinteraksi ngan penonton. kiut jer. lion dance dia pun ok jugak. budak2 suka ler.
show tak habis lagi, aku terpaksa balik opis sbb janji satu jam jer. aku pun ucap byebye kat dia org. jumpa kat rumah nanti. hehehe...
aku sebenarnya teringat kata2 zal dulu yg bangsa jepun satu bangsa yg suka meniru. zal ambik master tentang peradaban jepun, so dia kata jepun tiru tulisan cina dan ambik byk sgt culture org cina. org jepun memang pelik.
tapi aku tetap suka tengok sinchan. hehehe
The Pulau Besar’s reputation as a haunted island, full of stories of cults and mysterious beings has always intrigued me. It was with a mixed feelings that a few of friends and I embarked on a trip to this island on the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia opposite Malacca.
Prior to the journey, I had surfed the Internet to get more information about the island but unfortunately, there was none, zilch, nada…A week before going there, a story about the island was featured by a local television station. We didn’t know whether it was a good omen.
Anyway, the story that appeared on television didn’t tell us much about the island itself except it helped to rekindle the interest of the cult groups who regularly visited the island. We decided to take the gamble and just went to the island and enjoyed ourselves despite warnings from friends and family to keep away from the island.
The forlorn look of Umbai jetty sort of brought out the adventurous feeling to this short holiday. The ferry ride only took about 15 minutes and my heart started thumping loudly as we got nearer and nearer. All sorts of thoughts passed in my mind throughout the short trip; would I be possessed by a ghost or maybe the island would turn out to be like the scene in one of those B grade horror films.
Nothing had prepared us for the beauty of the island though. We were simply amazed by the cleanliness, the peacefulness and the myriad stones that may had been part of the beach’s specialty for hundred of years.
We had the beach to ourselves because there was simply no other visitor staying at the only chalet on the island. It was sad to see that such a beautiful beach was desolate, not that we were complaining. I did wonder what happened to the rest of the ferry’s passengers who came with us.
We decided to explore the island and check out some of its most “happening” places, so to speak. Since the places of interest on the island were quite far from our chalet, we needed to hire a guide from the chalet to take us there.
Along the way, we saw the half-abandoned golf course and a huge stone that looked like a human skull. It was pretty scary considering the reputation of the island. Our first stop was at the wishing well called “Perigi Tempayan Pecah” and nearby an old grave called “Makam Nenek Kebayan”. It was said that the ancient grave had a mix of both genders for its gravestones. There were lots of half-burned incense on top of the grave. Somebody had recently prayed on it.
We also visited the graves of seven brothers from Palembang called “Makam Tujuh Beradik”. We met a long queue of people there, including passengers who came with us in the ferry. It was there, that I saw a goat tied to a tree, probably munching its final meal before it was sacrificed for someones’s prayer for a special intention.
Getting adventurous by the minute, we decided to do some climbing in order to reach Yunus Cave, a favourite meditation spot, which was only accessible during low tide. It was not an easy climb where some spots were really steep and slippery. It was an interesting spot with a half-open cave but the scenery was really worth it.
We went back to the chalet and changed to go swimming while waiting for the sunset. The wait was worthwhile because it was simply breathtaking but again, my mind wondered back to an earlier scene about the goat. I wonder whether it would get to see the sunset, fat chance I thought.
There were lots of other interesting places that we had yet to explore and all those places including the graves and the wells were actually telling us a story of another era from the past. The historical sites left by the earliest inhabitants of the island was part of a history to be treasured and pondered. The island had a lot of secrets of its past, it was better left that way.
Anyway, I found myself truly possessed but not by the ghosts of the island but of its beauty and tranquillity. It was such a shame that many visitors blinded by its legends failed to appreciate such treasures. I would definitely return to this enchanting island and perhaps in my next visit I hope not to meet with another goat or any other animal ready to be sacrificed but that was another one of my wishful thinkings.
aku ada macam2 penyakit gila. aku gila buku, aku gila muzik (aku sayang gitar aku) aku gila "tengok" bola, aku gila kucing dan aku paling gila melancong.
tahun ni je, aku dah travel kat byk gak tempat kat malaysia ni. ada 28 hari lagi before new year, aku rasa sempat lagi nak travel utk tahun ni. traveling jugak buat aku selalu pokai dan buat mak aku bising. tapi aku hidup utk travel...hehehe...
spanjang thn ni aku dah gi penang, kelantan, perak, melaka ngan sabah. mungkin aku nak ajak diy ngan zal gi singapore, tengok nenek aku tapi budget cam tak izinkan je. aku rasa nak gi penang balik sbb byk tempat tak dpt explore ari tu. pening jln kat penang, lps tu kita org ni kalau travel main belasah je pegi. jadi dlm satu hari, adalah 3-4 jam tu sesat sana sesat sini. tak jumpak tempat yg nak dicari.
aku selalu plan nak tulis ttg journey kita org. tapi aku ni pemalas sgt, procrastinate tu middle name aku. thn ni, aku cuma dpat tulis satu journey je, itu pun sbb aku impressed sgt ngan tempat tu, jadi aku pun bersemangat nak tulis. aku ngan diy selalu plan nak buat satu homepage dan kumpulkan karya2 kita org tapi sbb dua2 buta IT, terpaksalah pendamkan aje.
mula2 aku ingat nak antar artikel ni kat NST - Travel Times tu, tapi pikir2 balik, malaslah, bukannya bagus sgt pun. lagi pun aku tulis utk kepuasan diri aku je. bila dah ada weblog ni, blh le aku letak kat sini.
bila bulan 12 dtg, aku mesti teringat lagu Counting Crows - A Long December. lirik dia memang powerful. bila agaknya cikgu gitar aku nak ajar main lagu ni.
A long december and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last
I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower,
Makes you talk a little lower about...
aku selalu ada resolution tiap2 tahun dan aku tak penah tukar resolution aku sbb aku tak penah dpt capai apa yg aku nak. aku selalu janji tiap2 tahun baru, nak kurangkan cakap dan bykkan mendengar tapi aku rasa aku selalu buat sebaliknya. maybe kalau thn depan aku terbalikkan resolution tu, mesti jadi kut.
hujan pagi tadi buat aku malas nak bangun dan malas nak gi keja. ah december dtg lagi. aku pikir kalau aku ambik el pun gaji aku tetap jalan jugak tapi camna ngan nelayan2 kg tu agaknya. kalau hujan dia org tak dpt ke laut. mana nak cari duit. aku pun paksa diri aku bangun.
mlm tadi aku pegi central market dgn diy, zal ngan kakak dia. lama rasanya aku tak gi CM. dulu ni le tempat lepak aku. aku pegi pun dah nak tutup tapi aku dah kehabisan bekalan buku utk dibaca. aku tak blh hidup tanpa buku, tak kisah le buku apa, janji ada buku yg blh aku baca. tapi aku tak boleh sabar le baca buku george orwell 1984. sampai sekarang dah 3 thn aku masih stuck kat muka surat 15. hehehe...
punye lama aku tak dtg, uncle mamak tu pun dah tak kenal kat aku. sodih den! tapi aku tengok buku dia makin mahal lak. hampeh! lepas tu kita org gi petaling street lak sbb aku nak cari vcd. PS pun aku dah lama tak gi, punye ler terkejut sbb last aku dtg, vcd masih lagi RM6 sekeping, skrg dah RM8. kurang ajaq betui! tiga meja aku pegi suma cakap RM8. diy pun dah bengang dia cakap kat tokeh2 tu camni:-
diy: boss, apsal vcd sampai RM8, mahal sgt tu.
penjual1: mana mahal, ini bagus punya gambar.
diy: eh kat ampang point baru RM5 satu tau.
penjual1: haiyah, mana ada. lu tipu le. itu dulu.
diy: saya tak tipu le.
penjual1" tersengih-sengih
diy: boss, vcd ni takleh kurang ke. mahal sgt ni.
penjual2: haiya! saya cari makan ma! ini gambar byk baik punya. 3 baru RM20.
diy: saya beli kat johor 3 - RM10 tau.
penjual2: ye ka? johor mana?
diy: suma tmpt le, kulai, skudai - suma jual dlm kedai punya wo. gambar ok jugak.
penjual2. takpalah, u belilah ini vcd. RM8 murah sajeee...
(meja ke-3 ada sorang budak melayu tlg jual)
diy: boss, vcd RM5 blh dpt ke?
penjual3: haiya! mana blh dpt wo. skrg byk susah mau cari makan. harga mau kena naik sikit mah!
diy: eleh! dekat ampang point RM5 blh dpt le tokey. gambar cantik, subtitle pun ada.
budak melayu: wei, kalau camtu pegilah beli kat ampang point buat apa dtg sini. (dgn belagaknya)
diy: a'ah.memang lah aku nak pegi ampang point pun beli.
budak melayu: blah le, setakat gambar ambik kat wayang, blh le RM5.
diy: wei! jgn nak kencinglah. (sambil berundur sedikit demi sedikit)
aku yg tercegat kat situ mula menyusun langkah perlahan2 sambil cuba mengontrol macho padahal dah kecut perut. si diy selamba je.
aku: wei, kau gila nak gaduh ngan mamat tu
diy: kau tengok, berapa kedai aku cakap, cina2 tu takde pun nak cakap kurang ajar ngan aku. budak melayu tu lak yg lebih2. aku memang dah lama tak gaduh ni.
aku ngan diy nyorok kat depan kedai majalah sambil tunggu zal habis beli jam. aku tepon suruh dia dtg kat kedai tu. hehehe...lepas gaduh, kita org pegi si tupai tupai lagi. alamak takde western food ari ni. sedihnya aku. last2 order nasi ayam hainan. tak sedap sgt tapi sizzling plate tofu dia memang sedap. entahlah kenapa aku tiba2 rindu nak makan kat Big Plate semula. dekat nak 2 thn gak aku tak gi. nantilah, aku pegi, harap2 tak mengecewakan.
