Trust

A father was walking with his son to the playground. For the son, this is the his happiest day, because this is his first trip to the playground. He felt that he has gone up to another level in life.

Levels in life? There are lots of levels. Level where every body has a crush, gets a license, buys a car, gets a couple, clash, gets engaged, gets married, have children, buys a house, get a new car, buys a second car, have more children, children gets married, have grandchildren, and start reflecting on life, and then where everybody dies.

But that is just too far ahead for the boy. For him, today's level is just where everybody goes to the playground. Which is a big deal. Happy happy happy!

They arrived at the playground. The father looked around, searching for something. Yes, he found a bench. He sat down and let the son run around. He saw how happy his son was, playing with his friends. He lets him play and have fun. That is his plan : To let his son mingle around and have fun.

After quite sometime, the father decides to call his son.

"David!, come here!"

"Yes dad?", Panting..

"Dun't you wanna play with your dad?"

"Yes sure!" joyfully answered.

"See this wall? come, let me put you on top" fingers pointed at a 7 foot brick wall nearby.

"Ok!"

"Now i want you to jump"

"Huh? what if i fall?"

"It's ok.. i'm here to catch you. trust me"

"But dad.. i'm scared"

"Dun't worry, trust me. i have something to teach you. But you have to jump"

"Ok.. here goess!!.. wheeeeeee"

Crack! Bump! Thump!. followed by OOOOwwwwwwwwwwwww!

The boy was lying down on the pavement. Hands on his ankles. Might be broken.

"You know son, the lesson is.. , never trust anyone. Not even your own dad. Remember that"

This is a story about trust.

And yes, they lived happily ever after.

The End.

Jangan Tangguh

The other day lepak with Erly in CBJ (that's cyberjaya.. duhhh) and i realized that he is a psycho. Nothing is left unorganized.

I was entering the surau and noticed there were a few slippers lying clumsily around in front of the door. After prayers (which was joined by Erly a bit later), as i walked out of the surau, i noticed that the slippers are neatly arranged on the shoe rack.
(logic ke Erly yang susun?)
Then i walked to his car and looked into the car-boot. Everything is organized in boxes. There is even a shoe-box-like-place in there!
(What the?)
Then i noticed that everything in his office is tidy. And when i browse through his laptop, everything is organized.
It was just unbearable just to let this slip,so i just had to ask,"weh, camana nak jadi kemas?"
(aku tahu, kalau aku tanya Ayil, sure kene gelak 10 juta round dulu before jawab.. itupon kalau nak jawab).
Erly replied," Jangan tangguh"
Simple... but damn powerful.
Since then i tried this new revelation/finding that i got and tried to not delay everything and lots of good stuff happened. Not only things became organized, but everything kinda fell into place. Things were done in a more efficient, more confident, and, more... happy manner. This includes, work, theater, and all other stuff.
I know, i know, it might be a small deal for you guys. And i know cheeps would have sumthing to say/comment/make fun about this.
(But before you do cheepok, make sure Ajon takes out the the garbage and clean up the worm-infested tong sampah in your dapur. Hehe.)
Now, if only i can make this habit permanent... hum hummmm....
And by the way, Thanx Erly.

Choices (mostly dedicated to Nini)

Hari Raya Korban is here!.. yes.. keyword : Korban, directly translated as sacrifice (Ada ke translation lain?).
Ok, not that i'm gonna write about Hari Raya Korban and it's origin (Ustaz Cipok can cover that topic.. haha), I just suddenly felt this urge to touch about sacrifices. Or actually, i wanna talk about choices. BUt it is just so convenient to start this entry with Hari Raya Korban. Baru la relate dengan kejadian semasa. Ahaks.
(Scrubs J.D monologue in head mode)
Everyday we have to deal with choices.
There are times you have choose between 'kacau'ing ur beloved friends and become deoendent or try to survive alone and learn to be independent.
Choose between focusing 100% towards your career, or focusing on family and time for yourself
There are times you have to choose between pursuing your hobby, against pursuing your future.
Times where you have to choose between doing what you really want (though it's wrong), against what is right (but things will not go your way)
Times between choosing your happiness against doing what everybody tells you is right
Times where you have to choose between upholding ur ego, or bowing down to get what you want.
The list goes on.
Well, ultimately, life is full of choices. You just have to be strong and be responsible with the choices you have to make.
But of course, you can choose the other option, but at one time, you can only choose one.
Take ownership upon the things you have done and deal with its consequences. If you feel you don't want to, or cannot deal with the consequences, then don't do it.
I had my fair share of choices that i had to make. Some small, some big, some painful, some so-so.
What about you? What do you have to choose? what would your consequence be?
(camera focus on J.Ds face, then zooms towards a butterfly.. )

A New Beginning

A new beginning coz of 2006? Nope!
It's a new beginning becoz i just lost my office laptop (damn u druggies!), along with 2 years worth of hard work in it.
A bit kusut at first, since you don't really know where to start. Too much of everything to re-sort all over again. However, on the first day i arrived at the office laptop-less, a feeling of serenity overwhelmed the kusut-ness.
I get to re-start everything!
Example:
Obnoxious Other TM Staff : Hey, Where's the report that u promised to send in today?
Tapai : I lost my laptop, so i have to recollect all the data.
Obnoxious Other TM Staff : Oh.. ok..
Hehe.. best best. Bets nye dapat format Balek hidup! Yee ha!

Love of a Brother

How do you play this character? :
A spoilt brat who is spoilt by his brother because the brother gives him anything he wants since he was little. Their parents died early and his brother quit school to pay for his school fees and for food.
The conflict now is that, this spoilt brat is in love with his brother's fiancee. He goes behind his brother's back and confessed to his brother's fiancee that he loves her and to his surprise, the girl responded positively and told him that he is 'the one' and the perfect guy of her dreams.
And oh, he is kind of a player. However his current relationship is the most stable and might lead somewhere. Which one to choose : Steady girlfriend? or Brother's fiancee? Quite a tough one, ain't it?

For me, this is quite hard to imagine because i never had a brother.

Now, the challenge here is to establish the connection between the two brothers. How they are really-really close so that in the end, it will leave a bigger impact to the audience when the spoilt brat confesses to his brother of his doings.

Like En Effindi said, "it is like an artist finishing up the work of his life, something beautiful, and when it is completed, rips it a part in front of everybody".

I guess its true, when you have sumthing really special and everyone knows it, but then you just destroy that special thing, it leaves a state of shock because it is kind of not in the norm. Like Rodek said, "Conforming is boring".

Yeap, so we will have to do things which are out of the norm so that the audience won't sleep.

And we have 2 weeks to go till show day.

Good Luck to Us.

Journey of the Morning

I woke up one morning. Opened my eyes, stretched to the left, stretched to the right. Sitting position on the bed. Stretched some more.

Looked at the clock. ALready 6:45 am.
Stood up. Thought : What am I gonna do today? Rite, work..
While thinking, phase out to another world. Imagined the day's scheduled in head. From going to the office until i get back home at night.

Woke up from daydream. Looked at the mirror. Pick up towel. Undress. Walk straight to the bathroom. Pick up toothbrush. Brush teeth. Gargled Listerine. Wash face with face cream. Turned around. Walk towards the shower. Put away towel. Apply shampoo on hair. Apply bodywash.

Dried self up. Apply teeth whitener. Done.

Walk towards cupboard. Put on boxers and pants. Fingered through selection of work shirts. Checked for Shirt-wrinkles. House Helper ironed all he shirts the day before. Put on powder. Sprayed Cologne. Put on shirt. Tighten belt.

One last look at the mirror. Take socks from drawer. Put laptop on shoulder. Ready to go.

Suddenly i realized, i was still in bed. In the Sitting position.
Look at the clock : 8:30 a.m.

Damn..

Aeon Flux @ Mid Valley

Heheh, Ended up, had a great time in Mid Valley. Went via Komuter (convenient weyh!). Watched Aeon Flux. Don't wanna spoil it by giving details. I give the rating 4/10.

But still.. had a grrreaat time!
