Hi and Bye

Hate it when someone says "Hi!" on YM!.

And when you reply and start a conversation, they reply with single words.

Even worst, single words, with single syllables.

Osman Led Zeppelin

Osman tengok Oscar's di apartmen kawannya, Ozi.

Ozi bukan Nama betul, Nama sebenarnya Zul.

Semangat sungguh Osman, sanggup tidur di rumah Ozi sebab di rumahnya tak ada astro.

Oscar mula, yeay! Osman buat macam rumah sendiri dan baring atas kerusi panjang.

Suffian (housemate Zul), baru bangun tidur, dengan berkemban bertanya, eyh, tu bukan Robert Plant?

Aah, jawab keduanya, walaupon tak kenal, tapi berpandukan tanda nama pada kaca tv.

"Robert Plant ni lead singer Led Zeppelin kan?"

"Entah, agaknya kot", jawab keduanya.

Zul tengok pada Osman, Osman pakai baju Led Zeppelin.

Sungguh Malu.

Osman pura pura tengok Oscar's sambil baring atas kerusi panjang.

Shit hits the fan

Somebody wise told me yesterday, once you commit, you must be willing take all the shit that come along with it.

I wonder if there is a cheatcode where you can list all the shit that you will get before committing. Because the shit always emerges once u have committed, and not before.

Shit.

Reminds me of the monologue by Al Pacino in Scent of a Woman.

Slade: Mr. Sims doesn't want it. He doesn't need to labeled, "...still worthy of being a 'Baird Man.'" What the hell is that? What is your motto here? "Boys, inform on your classmates, save your hide. Anything short of that we're gonna burn you at the stake?" Well, gentlemen. When the shit hits the fan, some guys run and some guys stay. Here's Charlie--facing the fire, and there's George--hiding in big Daddy's pocket. And what are you doin'? You're gonna reward George, and destroy Charlie.

Enjoy.

Mata Menyorot Ganas di Pelita

Aku rasa mata aku menyorot ganas. Tiba-tiba rasa nak maki orang. Girlfriend aku yang sexy sedang makan tandoori ayam. "Tak nak", jawapannya bila mamak Pelita ni cuba membuat 'push-selling' tandoori bersama cheese naan. Lahabau betul, nak untung aja mamak ni.

Sedap sangat ke tandoori ayam tu sampai dia buat tak tahu kat aku? Aku ada buat silap ke sampai dia bagi aku silent treatment? Deserve ke aku dengan keadaan ni? Aku, saudagar kaya yang empunya BMW 7 series. Walau pun kerja aku hari hari menipu orang, tapi still, duit halal. At least aku bayar Zakat.

Ya, walaupun aku baru kalah tender berharga 5 juta hari ni dengan syarikat anak ikan yang baru muncul, aku masih ingat agama. Aku tak salahkan tuhan.

Aku tahu. Aku kena buat sesuatu yang macho. Aku kena redeem kemachoan aku. Tapi aku kena cari target yang mudah.

"Hahahaha" Kedengaran suara sekumpulan budak muda.

"Anak ikan" fikirku. Aku jeling. Budak muda ni, ramai cina. Keliling, ramai melayu. Selamat.

"Hoi!!" Suaraku bergegar memecah kebingitan. Senyap. Sunyi.

"Tak reti respect ke! bising nak mampus. respect la sikit org keliling ni!"

"F*cuk you!". Wah, tercalar ego aku. Anak ikan ni berani membalas.

Aku bangun merapati meja mereka. Mata aku mula berapi. Sebenarnya agak chuak. Al-maklum la, mereka tu 8 orang. Aku sorang. Girlfriend aku pulak bukan reti berlawan. Baling pinggan biasa la. Tu belum kawin lagi tu.

"Ko tahu dak budak budak keliling ni tunggu masa jek". Aku menggunakan budak-budak melayu di keliling tu sebagai backup. Haha. Tau chuak. Semua tunduk. Haha, aku lah tuhan. Semua sembah aku sekarang.

ops. Bahaya tu, syirik.

Pelik. Sekor anak ikan tak tunduk. Dia senyum. Matanya memandang aku. Tak takut ke dia kat aku? Tak takut ke dia kena belasah kat sini dengan budak budak melayu? Aku tengok, muka dia paling melayu antara semua. Mata dia tak berkelip. Isyk. Tak logik. Biasa kalau aku buat macam ni, tak pernah ada yang berani tengok balik.

Ya, aku dah biasa buat havoc macam ni. Dekat Pelita ni je dah 7 kali. Mamak ni pon dah kenal aku. Ni belom lagi kat Seri Devi's, Tanjung, Kapitan, dan beberapa mamak yang aku tak ingat namanya sebab semua agak generic.

Itupun, berani lagi mamak kat sini nak push sell tandoori ayam dengan cheese naan kat girlfriend aku. Cis. Keju.

"Kau dari mana?", aku tanya. Mati akal aku. Kalau aku cakap "apa tengok tengok?". Kang gaduh kang.

"Subang"

"Ni Malaysia tau, jaga sikit. Respect kena jaga"

Shit. Bodoh nye retort aku tu. Sebab aku tengok dalam cermin, aku pakai baju Great Britain.

Dan skrip terakhir untuk org macho macam aku yang nak cari gaduh. Aku akhirkan lakonan aku ni dengan,

"Kau ingat eh muka aku ni. Ko ingat"

Macho nya aku. Hua hua hua.

Declan Donnellan on Acting

Found an interesting read. Title is The Actor and The Target by Declan Donnelan, an associate director of the National Theatre, London.

The book deals with freeing an actor from 'blockages' like focusing too much on what to do? how to feel? where the actor is? etc etc. The author discusses all this in a very generic manner that i think that it can also be applied in real life.

No, this is not the "acting is life, and life is acting, to act is to breathe, and to breath is to live" bullshit. Well, not in the philosophical sense, at least.

It deals more with psychological stuff. Like how we perceive experience, How do we focus on something else other than ourself, how to differentiate between ourself, and the 'I' we see.

Here are some vids that i found on youtube of the Author talking about a few things:
Donnellan discusses Imagination
Donnellan discusses Language
Donnellan discusses Acting
Donnellan discusses Andromaque

Enjoy!
