Yasmin Ahmad (1958-2009)

Yasmin Ahmad, one of the rarest film makers Malaysia will ever see again.

I guess most of you all might have not heard about this film maker until her death earlier last Saturday. She died just more than 48 hours after her surgery, she had a stroke.

You see, as a part time movie junkie, I couldn't care less about Malaysia's film industry. Stupid, thin plots with ridiculous lower than B graded actors and actresses, laughable dialogue/script and so sets up a bad impression on Malaysia's movies in the eyes of the world.

Until.....in 2004, a movie named "Sepet", or translated as 'Chinese Eye', is about a love story between a Chinese VCD seller named Jason and a Malay school girl named Orkid. And as their inter-racial love blossoms, problems come towards their way too. What makes this movie caught my attention is the way how Yasmin Ahmad presents us with a movie about Malaysians being stereotypes (Jason as an Ah Beng), how society reacts towards inter-racial relationship and so.

You might noticed that there are a few easter eggs in this film, mostly about social commentary. For instance, Orkid's mum was thankful to God that Orkid got a scholarship even though she had only 5 As for SPM, where on the other hand, Kak Yam who sat beside her said that even Jason who had 7 A's (probably a few years back, but didn't manage to get a scholarship). This indirectly criticized the Malaysian Government's perceived biased treatment in handing out scholarships to non-Bumiputras.

At one scene, Orked rebutted her friend, Ling that her boyfriend for questioning her love relationship with a non-Malay, i.e. Jason, by telling him Malay men had been marrying non-Malays for generations. This indirectly referred to today's quite prevailing biased perceptions of people having inter-racial love relationships. It was also expressed through Keong's dialogue with Jason when the former was hospitalized. Keong had said people in the olden times can marry each other regardless of race but people in the today's more civilized society tend to fight over and think too much of such matters.

After the release of Sepet, there has been some controversy. One minister said that it is against Islam that a Muslim can have a relationship with a non-Muslim. He had also warned Yasmin about her works and told her to be careful.

See? Society still have something against inter-racial relationship. But I have to give full respect to Yasmin Ahmad for breaking barriers in Malaysian movie industry. Definately need more movies like this. Its a shame that some of the media painted her as a film maker who likes to spark controversy. They didn't noticed that she's the one who loves to present us what we are in her own perspective.

I didn't managed to watch th sequel to Sepet, which is Gubra. Leisure Mall didn't even bother screening it, instead they choose to show stupid movies like Scenario, Jangan Pandang Belakang, Lady Boss and so. : (

Gubra, Mukhsin, Muallaf and the latest Talentime, I couldn't find these on any DVD shop.

Oh yeah, not only she is involved with the movie industry, have you ever noticed that cute commercial about a Chinese Boy who likes a Malay girl. Tan Hong Ming anyone?



Damn this is cute, check out the face expression on 1:13



Children are colour blind, its just that us adults and teenagers made it ugly and bitter

These are just 2 of the many touching and message driven ads that Yasmin Ahmad presented to us on the small screen.

Her passing shocked me early Sunday morning. I was all gloomy for the whole day, even during Sunday church service. The only film maker I respected is now gone.

Like the world lost Michael Jackson to cardiac arrest, Malaysia lost Yasmin Ahmad to stroke. Here's a blog post dedicated to the one film maker, who started 1Malaysia way before Najib did.

Debate 09

Ok, sorry for the late updates. I was down with a massive headache, so bad you all thought I fainted in the school canteen. Haha, anyway, for the past few days, I've been sleeping quite early. Early as in 2 a.m to 2 :30 a.m. Yeah, that explains why pimples have been staying at my face.

Oh yeah, my diet for the past few days consist of fried food and vegetarian dinner. Way to go Daniel.....

Ok, Tuesday I checked whether was I selected for 'death camp'. Yes I was. So early in the morning on Wednesday, the school debate team meet up in the canteen. Matthew Joshua went and check, he kena National Service. Amirul also kena, Man Li also kena. Hamreesh, definitely kena.

So Amirul's mum fetched some of us to the debate finals venue. We're going against Jalan Convent Peel, a well established school. So here's some pics....


Me and Sang sitting outside the meeting room.

So the whole debate team, 11 of us were in the room, aircond and fan turned on and brainstormed a few ideas and points. Some didn't even contributed, I don't wanna post names here. Seriously, sitting there relaxing and seeing your team mates going through massive mess and trying to sort things out, that ain't helping at all.

And maybe most of you all tag along just to skip class? I don't know, its just an assumption ok?

Thank God for Cik Adlina's laptop and Internet connection, or else we'll be stuck with nothing. Our headmistress and Pn. Sasikala joined to give some support.

So it was time for Darsh, Mai and Angeline to be quarantined for an hour. Meanwhile, the rest went in to the debate hall and sit.


Sang listening to his iPod Touch, me with my Nokia.

The motion for the debate finals was "Society does not reap from sports investment". Angeline was picked for the pot draw, and we got the government side. Whee!!!

The debate was really ours to kill. Because what Jalan Convent Peel presented points was just about sports advantages to society, not sports investment. Damn it, we should have P.O.I-ed them when they presented the 'job opportunities' point.

Really, I think even the judges were quite bias. In the end, we lost. Even one of the judges, Mr. Sugu said this...

"Opposition, your 3rd speaker saved you all today. If it wasn't for her, you would have lost."

Damn right.....even though you 3 speak perfect English, your points were out of topic. Maybe the judges don't wanna let a 5 year old school defeat one of the most well established schools in K.L.

But anyway, coming 2nd place in a Zon Pudu final is really a proud achievement for us. All of us never expect to come this far.

So, after the debate, we all went back to school. Amirul's mum took the trouble to come and fetch us back again. Thank you so much Amirul!!! Amirul couldn't join us because he was kinda tired. I mean, he has been contributing alot of facts for us. Heck, I can even say without his help, we wouldn't even make it past the first round. This shows how much value he is to our team. A great researcher and a great thinker. Went back to school, placed the trophy in headmistress office. Mum fetched me, Kyle, Matthew and Daniel Fariq to invade Tesco Extra to celebrate our 2nd place in Zon Pudu. Cik. Adlina fetched Vivian, Darsh, Serene, Angeline and Mai Sabrina. Hamreesh had to fetch fatty (guess who?)

Tesco wasn't prepared for the invasion of SMK Seri Mutiara's Debate Team. Let me do a review on all the debate members....


Meet Mai Sabrina, the no-nonsense yet sassy second speaker. Damn, her English has improved so much. 3 years in English debating, and that's what you get. : ) Best part about watching her debate, you have to hear the last assault sentence towards opponents. So ice-cold.


Me, Mai and Hamreesh.

I had chicken chop with mushroom sauce and for drinks, orange juice. Like it wasn't enough, I treated Santosh and Mai with deserts. ABC and cendol.


Vivian makan ABC.


Meet the blur, innocent looking researcher of the school's debate team, Hamreesh a.k.a Hammy/ Hamster. Thanks Hammy for buying back McDonald's for us, and coming back soaking wet from the rain. Oh yeah, thanks for buying the whole team KFC and Domino's Pizza, even though I missed it for band practice. Hammy, I know this sounds odd but I love you.....NOT. Haha, chill lah. Will belanja you ice-cream.


Mai again.


Matthew, thanks for your contributions. I don't remember it, but I'm sure you did contribute right?


Me, Daniel, slept halfway in the middle of a Skype chat for the first time. Had keyboard key marks on the face on the next day. Mum shocked, dad laughed his ass off. Hey dad, you nearly choked on a banana because of me. xD Ok, I know reviewing myself really feels weird, but here's the thing.

I'm sorry if I wasn't able to be commited as Darsh, Angeline or Amirul because I know my limits. I really wished I could have stayed up until 5 a.m just to find points and help you guys elaborate it. I did my best, and I hope my effort left an impact to the team.


Santosh, he's the one you can argue for the whole day. Trust me, he won't mind accepting all of your P.O.Is at all. He also has been contributing alot for the team, and also giving out ideas and points that sometimes saved our asses.


Santosh, Angeline and Kyle.

Angeline, I'm kinda impressed that you can managed to stay up until 5 a.m, sleep for an hour and come to school to prepare for debate. You are one of the 3 people I know that is so commited to the team. I know you have been sick for us, but all I can say is a big THANK YOU for really helping us making it to the finals.


Serene and Matthew. Serene, thanks for the massage.


Vivian and Darshini. Oh Darsh, what would the debate team do without you? Fast thinking is your middle name. We are really really really thankful that you are in the school debate team. Thank God for you girl!!!! You, like Angeline, stayed up late, went through alot of mess to find points and elaborate them for us. You're a great aset for the team.

Daniel Fariq, don't take it that all of us didn't notice your contributions. You too were commited. You stayed back and tried to help us at all cost, and we really thank you for that. Vivian, I didn't forget you.

Miriam...why didn't you come on Wednesday. We need your brain lah!!! We all love the fact that you can twist our facts and points and make it your advantage. Pure evil!!! Anyway, headmistress noticed your contributions too. Hah, you'll be the next Darshini for sure.

Last but not least, our dear debate teacher, our guide, Cik. Adlina. She also stayed up late, Skype-ed us, discussed with us, cooked food for us, had fun with us. On behalf of the debate team, I would like to say sorry if we had cross the line and didn't follow your strategies of debating, was constantly off-track, wasn't fully focused on the motion, rather than other useless topics. You really are a dedicated english teacher, God bless you Cik. Adlina.

Cik. Adlina, please help me thank your brother for taking the trouble and losing his precious sleep time to help us out for the finals.

Mr. Govinder, thanks for giving us advice. Without it, we're lost.

Pn. Sasikala, thanks for giving us points and elaborations on the motion, "SMS retards reading skills"

Headmistress Pn. Halimah, thanks for supporting us, allowing us to skip classes just to practice debate. Sorry we came back with a 2nd place, but at least we promised you that we'll bring back a trophy. :)


Santosh, me and Mai.

Then it was group picture time.

I know, I'm blur.


When time for superhero pose, I was like...."What the heck man?"


P.O.I pose, I was so malu-fied lah. Can you imagine the people staring at us like one kind.

"Mong meh mong, never see people P.O.I before ah?!"


Mata sakit.

Sigh, last year for me in debate. Even though I was not able to go debate, but I am proud to be a back up researcher and help out by giving points.

Oh yeah, last picture.

Don't ask me why. :P

R.I.P The King of Pop

I am very very saddened over the news of one of my favourite entertainer's death, Michael Jackson. The youngest of the Jackson 5 died this morning at 5:40 a.m.

Ian told me the news, I thought he was kidding. Then Venu told me the same thing, Sam also. Sigh, I grew up listening to his music.

Damn, can you name me an artist that broke the barrier between black and white music, and reuniting them at the same time? Can you name me another artiste that has the coolest dance moves, and you're inspired to learn everystep he does?


Remember this gravity defying lean, damn still looks cool in the 21st century.


Moonwalking.......never gets old.

Michael Jackson died of Cardiac Arrest this morning, at a still young age of 50. Sigh, all the lousy singers/ entertainers are still alive while the good ones like Tupac, Biggie, Bernie Mac, James Brown and so on dies. I'm still waiting for Vanilla Ice to die, Soulja Boy on the next list.

Its never too late to listen back his songs, from the song "Ben" with his brothers in Jackson 5, to "Smooth Criminal", "That Girl is Mine" with Paul McCartney, "Thriller", "Bad", "Beat It", 'Don't Stop Till' You Get Enough", 'Rock With You", the message driven "Black and White", "You Are Not Alone", "Scream" and my favourite...."Smooth Criminal". which has the most expensive music video cost in the record books (7 million moolahs mind you) . Yeah, these are the hits Micheal Jackson has contributed to radio.

The amount of awards, need I say more?

Mike's life changed from King of Pop to King of Freakish scandals. Remember his 2005 child sexual abuse case? Media went crazy, news all over the world, Late Night show hosts making fun of him and so on. But thank God after months of trial, he was finally acquitted of all charges.

From that day onwards, Michael Jackson never released any albums anymore. He went hidden from the entertainment scene, rarely heard of him.

Then in 2008, in conjunction with 25 years since the release of the most celebrated album of music history, "Thriller", Michael released 'Thriller 25" along with new songs with collaborations with today's popular artiste like Akon, Will.i.Am, Fergie and the ego-controlled Kanye West. My favourite was "The Girl Is Mine" featuring Will.i.Am. The Kanye West remix of Billie Jean was rubbish.

I'm actually feeling very down know, I mean, knowing an artiste that you grow up looking up to and supporting for years. Haha, well, good things have to come to an end. Rest in peace Michael Jackson, you rocked our world for sure, and taught us what is black and what is white. King of Pop changed my life, and I'm sure he definitely changed yours.



Michael Jackson, August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009

My Dad

Father's Day might be over, but I would like to take this time to share with you about my dad, like most of my fellow bloggers (Kamumalu, Wan Zhuin, Alamanda.......).

My dad comes from a poor family, eating porridge with soy sauce only for lunch and rice with few pieces of meat and veges only. Being the eldest in the family, I bet he had lots of big responsibilities when he was at my age. I guess his teenage life is tougher than me.

His highest education was until Form 5, and off he goes to work at K.L in a hotel. I'm not sure about which hotel he worked for, but the one I really remembered is Regent Hotel, Bukit Bintang. The best thing about dad working as a executive sous chef (I didn't spell sous chef wrongly, it's not sauce chef mind you), that everytime mum and I went over to see dad, we'll get free lunch from the hotel. I remember one time, dad's boss even gave dad and us a free 1 day stay at the hotel, everything free of charge.

I can still remember one time when I was small, dad brought back a ginger bread house made out of biscuits and icing for us to build the ginger bread house. While waiting for dad to come home on Christmas Eve, mum and I would build the cute ginger bread house.

I remember when I was 4, I accidently said the F-Word infront of my relatives during a family dinner. It was not a good idea by the way. I learned it from Die Hard, stupid-main-character-which-I-don't-know -what's-his-name. Dad wasn't around at that time because he had work. So once mum and I got back from the event, dad was kinda disappointed at me, didn't say anything at all.

I can say that dad is the main source for providing food, shelter and care for the family. Over the years I and dad had lots of arguments, and it really makes me and my dad's relationship worsen, until Form 3, things got much better.

Dad hasn't been going to church for a long time when I was small. Until 2006, with his new job after retiring from Regent Hotel after 15 years serving for them, dad got the opportunity to go to church. Now, he's an active member, and I wanna thank God for that.

Dad hasn't had much patience in him. While using the PC, sometimes it hangs, and dad will be quite pissed (especially in the middle of saving a recipe). Dad also doesn't believe in punctuality. People invite us to be at a certain venue at 9 p.m,we only go out of the house at 9 p.m. That's why mum ask me to not be like that, cuz it gives other people bad impressions.

One thing my dad loves is morning and evening walks. So I expect my weekends breakfast to be quite late, and my mum expects dinner for her and dad to be late too. : )
Growing up in the 50's, my dad prefers Chinese oldies compared to Frank Sinatra and Amy Winehouse. One thing for sure, my dad doesn't like Hillsong United or Planet Shakers, don't know why.

My dad didn't even teach me how to drink alcohol like most of yours would, but I remember one thing that he told me I wouldn't forget about alcohol...

"Wine is like women, sometimes sweet, sometimes bitter. So choose wisely your future wine-to-be lah boy...."

Usually I don't like to eat fruits, but after the constant nagging and lecturing about apples, bananas, pears, honeydews and longans, I finally appreciate the fruits values and it makes out body much more healthier.

Dad would bug me to eat fish oil tablets, Vitamins, Spirulinas because I have quite a weak body. Can't blame me.

Even though my dad's education is until Form 5, but his Chinese knowledge is so good, he'll beat you in Chinese proverbs and essay writing. Cool huh?

My dad's so good at cooking (well duh...ask Kyle or Gan Yang), he can open a restaurant and it'll be full house. My dad doesn't want to because Cheras area is full of restaurants which 70% of them are empty and chances of them surviving are slim as paper. He don't wanna be part of that statistics.

My dad wouldn't buy me anything that I wanted, because he would ask me to come out my own money or maybe it is unreasonable to get it for me (like the PS3).

My dad plays sports like badminton and last time, basketball (school player). I rememeber one time I lost to him in badminton so badly, he kept on teasing me from the badminton court til' when we reach our house. Darn dad darn!!!

My dad doesn't speed, so I don't expect some thrilling fun on the highways.

My dad might not have the financial status like Bill Gates, but what I'm happy is that he is able to provide for the family.

My dad might not appear on Tv or magazines.....wait, he did appear in Tv and magazines. 8TV, Food and Cuisine, e.t.c. Eleh.....cekap kan? What about your dad?

On Father's Day, I treat him dinner at Boston's Grill. It sucked so bad, he told me next time he's deciding on what's for the next Father's Day dinner. Sorry dad....

My dad might not be perfect, but he is the best.

Thank You dad for loving me and mum.

Father's Day

Woke up 8 :15 a.m, didn't wanted to go to church (I know, that's so sinful of Maccaroni Boy). Wasn't in the mood in the first place after bombing and stinking so many Rabbids. I'm not surprised if any of them died from the horrible foul smell of my diarrhea.

Today's Father's Day, woke up just in time to wish dad. After dad came back from the morning market to buy newspaper and breakfast for us (everyday, that's his job). Thank God mum realizes that I can't drink milk, or else another A-Bomb will come out of my A-Hole. Had cereal with soya bean instead, more healthier. Yesterday Saturday didn't go for church worship practice, I was under doctor's order.

As mum and dad head to church at their usual time, I went upstairs to their comfy room to read the newspapers. Ohhhhhhh yeeeessssssssss............that nice comfy bed and the morning breeze. Thank God AGAIN that our house is located just opposite of a mini forest. Cooling.

Father's Day usually have specials on TV, Star World has some nice programs on, like a Father's Day sitcom marathon. 9 a.m to 9 :30 p.m, that's like alot of laughter for Father's Day, since the line up was American Dad, Family Guy, My Wife and Kids, The Simpsons and 8 Simple Rules Of Dating My Daughter.

Watched American Dad, which is from the creators of Family Guy. Oh boy, American Dad should replace 'Growing Up Gotti'. 'Growing Up Gotti' was total rubish, 'The Simpsons' finished it's current season. D'OH!!

What's funny about American Dad is that their family is much more like Family Guy, a dad, a mum, a brother and a sister, and their talking pet. Their talking pet is an alien named Roger, who is addicted to alcohol and might be gay. How fresh is that?

For the first time in 2 years, I finally get to watch Sunday morning cartoons!!!!

Had chicken floss bread for lunch, then waited for mum and dad to come back from church. Decided not to go to futsal, I need alot of rest.

So tonight, decided to treat dad a nice dinner, so we headed to Boston's Grill. Dad ordered black pepper chicken chop, mum ordered salmon with Mexican rice, I ordered steak and tried this smoothie which contains pina colatas, pineapple. orange belacot.

The dinner sucked. Trust me, Boston's Grill's standard dropped so bad, I think the only thing that is worth paying is the drinks alone.

A grand total of RM 107.90. How fabulous is that (say it in a very very gay way) ?

Anyway, I would like to thank Dad for giving me lots of advises, even though he didn't talk to me about the birds and the bees (I have to discover it myself). No matter how many times he nags me to eat during recess, or control my spending, all the things that I thought it was annoying and embarrassing, it was all because dad loves me.

Thanks Dad, you do know that Cristiano Ronaldo is faster than me. LOL.

Father's Day

Before I start, I would like to wish every single father in the world, whether you're single, you're rich, poor, smart, dumb, retard, childish, selfish, no common sense, thinks that you own the whole road, didn't pay any fines for your double parking at outside shopping malls, addicted to char siew, likes to nag, thinks that your wife is choosy, sucks at Playstation, noob at blogging and so on..

HAPPY BLESSED FATHER'S DAY!!!

I love you too

P.S : I love you too....
