Review Kisah Gadis

Alhamdulillah. Received good reviews. Thank you all! And Keep it up!

Burger

Opsyen pertama.

Letak tray atas meja. Bukak balutan burger. ANgkat roti atas burger. Tengok sos cukup ke tidak. Ambik sos cili. Pastikan sos cili ke tomato. Tengok nak koyak sos kat mana. Koyak sos. 

Picit sos atas daging. Ke..nak letak atas roti? 

Ah..mana manalah.

Pegang burger dengan dua tangan. Ke.. dengan satu tangan dah cukop?. 

Ah.. apa apa je lah. 

Tilt burger 45 darjah dari garisan horizontal lantai atau meja untuk angle mudah masuk mulut. Siku pastikan belok untuk memastikan keanjalan pergerakan. 

Gerakkan burger ke arah mulut, jangan kalut. Dengan perjalanan satu garisan lurus, pastikan terus. 

Pastikan mulut terbuka dengan keluasan yang sepatutnya. 

Masukkan kedalam mulut, jangan kalut. Jaga, jangan terlalu dalam, terus tenggelam

Mengikut gerak hati dan citarasa, atau, rasa nak beradab yang macamana. 

Kalau beradab, 2 cm cukup. Kalau rasa tak da sebab, satu burger terus cekup.

Lebihan burger, letak balik ke ats meja. 

Ulang sampai burger itu habis.

Opsyen kedua

..

Apa kata kita makan jek. 

Bila pikir ni, benda mudah jadi susah.

Benda satu pun jadi seribu.

..

Mari baca manuskrip untuk gesek biola

Aku tanya, kenapa nak baca manuskrip ni susah sangat? 

Tauge tauge ni dah main banyak kali. Dari mukasurat ke mata, lepas tu ke otak. Kemudian baru tangan menggesek. 

Rasa macam perjalanan tu ...

...jauh

Cikgu aku cakap, senang saja, musik itu untuk didengar, bukan untuk dibaca.

Setiap bar ada cerita. Ada bentuk. Ada rupa. Ada improvisasi. Samada kita 'dengar' atau tidak, itu bezanya.

Aku main semula. Tauge yang mudah pun, rasa macam main dalam orkestra. 

D, E, F#, dan G

Sangat seronok.

Aku rasa banyak benda lain yang sama. Bukan setakat menggesek biola.

Sayang

Tak payah nak cakap aku sayang kamu
Tak payah nak dengar kata aku sayang dia

Hari hari terus berlari
Esok lusa terus berusaha

Kalau sayang..buat
Kalau cinta.. panjat

Fikiran itu perlu

Tapi jangan fikir sangat
Yang panas boleh hangat

Dari Papa pada yang papa (kedana)
Itu pesan Papa

Any Given Sunday.

Living is about that 6 inches in front of you.

Kisah Gadis : Gadis Jalan Burmah Synopsis

WAKE UP and SMELL the COFFEE - Gadis Jalan Burmah

Directed by / Diarahkan oleh Megat Sharizal
Performed by / Dilakonkan oleh Sherry Abdullah
Written by / Ditulis oleh Shahredza Minhat (Bahasa Malaysia & English)

The world keeps telling her that she is running out of time but 42-year-old Kartini Shuib thinks otherwise.

On her birthday, while trying to bake her own birthday cake, she contemplates whether or not to go out with an insurance salesman Kassim Rahman, upon the suggestion of her mother. But then, memories of a Chinese pilot, a Doktor Haiwan from UPM, an American expat and her Mak Long Piah return to haunt her. What does it all mean? Or does it mean nothing and that the world is actually right – that she is running out of time?

+++

Semua orang cakap Kartini Shuib dah 'takdak' time! Tapi Kartini Shuib, tak pernah peduli pun. Sampailah ke harijadinya yang ke - 42, beliau telah didesak oleh ibunya untuk keluar berpacaran dengan Kassim Rahman, seorang jurujual insurans. Fikirannya mula bercelaru, apa lagi, beliau terus dengan gigih cuba membuat kek harijadi 'special' untuk menenangkan jiwanya. Namun, benaknya yang serabut itu kemudian didatangi memori-memori lama, seorang juruterbang berbangsa Cina, seorang doktor haiwan lulusan UPM, seorang ekspatriat dari Amerika, Mak Long Piah dan geng antara lain, yang kesemuanya kembali menghantui. Siapa hantui siapa sebenarnya? Apa maksud kedatangan mereka? Atau sememangnya semua tidak membawa sebarang maksud.

Atau mungkin betul apa semua orang cakap - memang Kartini Shuib sudah 'takdak' time!

Kisah Gadis : Mangli Synopsis

SYNOPSIS / SINOPSIS

TOAST! – Mangli

Directed by / Diarahkan oleh Megat Sharizal
Performed by / Dilakonkan oleh Ashraf Zain & Tuan Faisal
Written by / Ditulis oleh Adiwijaya (Bahasa Malaysia)

How do you give life to someone who's already dead? At a bus stop, Idayu Sa'ayah meets her old friend from matriculation college, Aris Mat Tam, after years without news. A series of events forces them to be in each other's company long after the conversation veered from being pleasant. Idayu begins to discover a very different Aris from the college classmate she once knew. Eventually she finds herself struggling to save someone on the verge of psychological suicide.

+++

Dua orang sahabat kolej matrikulasi, Idayu dan Aris, bertemu di sebuah stesen bas setelah bertahun-tahun tidak mendengar khabar, apatah lagi berjumpa. Sungguhpun pada mulanya mesra, keadaan berubah apabila kedua-duanya terkandas di stesen tersebut bersama-sama. Idayu mendapati Aris bukanlah seperti rakan akrab yang dikenalinya dahulu. Lelaki bertubuh cekung dan berwajah kusam ini jauh berbeza daripada Aris yang gantang, ceria dan cukup optimis di kolej. Masa singkat yang ada memaksa Idayu berusaha mencari semula kawannya disebalik lembaga yang mangli dan mati di yang terpacak di depannya.

Kisah Gadis : My next Gig in October!

Mat Aris Lissukun

He does not care about rules as long as he serve his only one purpose in life.
He has no respect for everyone, since everyone is a bastard.
He blames everything on everybody else even though he is the one permitting bad things to happen to him.
He is the 'lurus' type. And people often take advantage of him.
Aris is "Aris untuk semua orang"
He only does things which he thinks is right.
He is sinking in a quicksand. Getting deeper and deeper.
He thinks too much. Often of what other people might think of his action.
Tho he might not care anymore now, since everyone is stupid.
His interest is not his best interest.

And he is eating me up. So god help me.

In the words of Ella... Are you enjoyssssssss???!!

His thoughts on High Fidelity

I'm no movie critic. And i am not a good indicator of how good a movie is, since i am easily pleased. Well, to me, a movie which has all the basics is good enough. Doesn't have to blow my mind or anything. Something simple and maybe everybody can relate to. Like Juno. And also like High Fidelity.

Watched High Fidelity for the 3rd time, just to get a feel of how the 'break the fourth wall' inacting. A better reference would be 'Alfie', played by Jude Law, but our PC at home got struck by lightning and in the works of repairs.. so.. High Fidelity would do at the mo.

Here's the trailer :



It's a simple movie about relationships, and about a guy trying to find the reason why he always gets rejected. Finally, he discovers that the reason has always been himself, always having a foot out the door and not really committing to the relationship.

Sounds very.. very familiar.

His Journey to the East

Yo! Just got back from a 1-week outstation trip to the Eastern Region. Had to present some stuff on behalf of the boss. Apparently he decided to give me some exposure and a chance to get to know more people on the ground so as to enchance the communication capability of our Unit. Well, that is the official say, at least.

Aanyways.. went up to Kuantan, Kuala Terengganu, and Kota Bharu for one night each. And finally decided to stay in Kelantan for 2 more days to get reacquainted with cousins and aunts/uncles. Things are quite the same since last time i met them, other than the addition of more cousins! Wow. they are really, really productive in 'that' sense.

Syed decided to join me in Kelantan. Took him to Pantai Bachok, Pantai Cahaya Bulan, and also shopped in Siti Khadijah Market. Safiyya and Kak Aisyah (who followed me from Kuantan) decided to return to KL after the final presentation in Kota Bharu (but later was dissappointed because they couldn't extend their stay while there were more tudung and batik shops to visit).

Came back yesterday, passed through Gerik. Stopped in Ipoh to attend Shahrul's Wedding. It was a smooth flowing ceremony. Can't be a good judge, since my self and Pijat/melor arrived half a hour after the commencement of the ceremony. Anyways.. everyting went well. Shahrul was exceptionally 'segak bergaya' and Bunga was really beautiful in her wedding dress. After the ceremony, we went to McDs (not because shahrul's food was not good mind you) to hang out, while waiting for Hafiz and the Bride & Groom to come over. Hafiz has this crazy thing going for wedding shoots. I don't know if it is the 'trend' nowadays, but the package is inclusive of an outdoor photo shoot. Which means that clients will have their wedding attire on for photoshoot outside, say.. in McDs!.

Arrived in Subang Jaya at 3 am. Exhausted, slept till 12 noon today. Hehe.. can't blame me aging
body. (Sebenarnya mmg bangun weekend time tu.. muahhaa)

And now here i am.. back to reality. The previous week passed by just like a dream. It is nice to break your routine once in a while.

Tomorrow.. back to the same routine!

Oh well...

p/s: Oi syed.. upload gambar kat facebook cepat! especially gambar aku... gambar ko takyah tak pe.. muahha

His "Menipulate" Auditions

Video of auditions, uploaded on youtube.



And i just realized why i was so nervous..: it's cause that this is the first production of which i am selected thourgh audition.. and not on a "eyh.. tak ada org la.. mintak tolong boleh?" - basis.

Target release for this movie is January 2009. Shooting starts in 2 weeks. Need to memorize the script!

Wish me luck!

His ex-staff

I contacted my ex-staff to do rewiring of the telephone line in my house. Uh oh.. we did bit of spring cleaning and minor renovation to the house. The original parking space is now an office! So he did a bit of a job and trying to be a cultured malay, i asked around for the normal charging rate for the same amount of job not from him, but somewhere else.

Little did i know about his actual intention of not wanting any payment.

After the completion of the rewiring, i folded the said amount of money in my hands, and extended my arms to shake hands.

He saw what i was doing and immediately 'tepis'ed my arms. And not a normal tepis, but a really hard one.

"Jangan la macam ni.. segan saya nanti"

"No boss.. i cannot take money from you, coz you are still my boss"

At that point, i knew i coudn't say anything. But i recommended him to do wiring in a school nearby. That was the least i could do.

My father told me either he was a very sincere person, or i did a great job handing staff before.

Trying not to perasan. hehe..

His Crazy Ass Choreography

Check out step up 2 finale dance on the side. C-R-A-Z-E-E-e. Storyline wise.. blurgh... but dance moves... superb!

His Silat Photoshoot

Silat Cekak Hanafi USJ decided to have a photo session for some reason. Oh well.. happy to be in it..:).. here goes:

Hope to update more in the future! This is what happens when you have to spend time at home MC-ing due to Conjunctivities.

His encounter with Juno

Juno best giler weyh! I was kidnapped by Cipok last week and was dragged to watch Juno. At first i was skeptical, since i've never heard of this movie, but by the end of the movie.. i felt like watching it over again. Cipok saw it 3-4 times..

If you are looking for special effects, twisted story line, forget it. How ever, for me, its strength is in the acting and how the script/director touches the issues, just sufficient enough so that the story is still entertaining altho the issue covered is quite heavy.

My advise.. tengok weyh! then let me know if it is any good. Trailers are at the side. Enjoy!

His first movie production casting!

Yes.. i am casted for Menipulate : The movie! it's an indi-movie. Honestly, i'm both excited and scared at the same time coz i've never experienced a real movie production before. I was surprised to get an SMS from the director, inviting the cast to a cast/crew pre-production BBQ party this saturday. Not sure on which role yet, the Director oh-so conveniently keep it secret until the cast/crew party.

The audition was great. But some of us were told to "tone it down a bit", and be less "Theatrical". Haha.. Nampak sangat, all from theatre background. Pi Mai Pi Mai Tang Tuuu jugak.. Mesti a friend of a friend.. or a friend of my sisters.. haih.. such a small community.

Anyways.. shooting starts next week.. wish me luck!

er.. how'd they say "break a leg" in a movie production?
