Got this from SaifulNang’s blog. This is really sad and sweet all at the same time. There’s abit of us in the character, if you noticed. Especially when the mom dialled the child’s number halfway
‘Mak tau anak anak mak sibuk’
Short film directed by a wedding photographer Saiful Nang and crewed by his team of CandidSyndrome. Together with camera crews from CST Production and assistant director from IDMopix. This short film is dedicated to Rumah Pengasih Warga Prihatin, Kajang.
Credits goes out to all that I’ve mentioned in bold.

Encik Boss had invited to watch Dol & Minah Nak Kahwin together at his place which I was quite excited about. He had an amazing race throughout the day with Azmir, Hyrul and Fauzie for their own pilot project, Serbu Raya prior to that.
So I went to Nina’s place meet the Michis and the gang first in Sembawang. Nina was in town since the end Ramadhan before flying off last Thursday. Baini was late and I arrived much earlier, to actually surprise Nina only to get a surprise way advanced birthday gift instead! Her mom cooked Shabsouka and Pasta for us and I had multiple servings while waiting for Baini and Abang T. We managed to catch Dol & Minah for a bit, cos I was already rushing to Boss’ place.
Apart from the Shabsouka, homemade tat nenas, some private jokes and meeting new people, I went home feeling amazingly great that I get to meet my favourite ones on the night where they shared the joy with me on one of my best Raya.

It’s the same old arrangement year in, year out. The only difference is when you get to meet your cousins only once a year - those single ones announce to get married soon, the married ones bringing younger ones, the cute becoming cuter, the female cousins gets dolled up with new hairdo and coloured lenses, the younger male cousins getting taller and cuter and then, you realise most of them are in Facebook!



COS WE’RE HAPPY PEOPLE!

I have always imagined myself at another place; doing some other things while blogging, because only visualizing that kind of imagery creates more ideas to blog. I have been thinking so much about what it would feel like, if right now, I’m in the bus or flight heading to elsewhere, just few days before Raya and blogging about this, while listening to sappy Raya songs. It could have been more real.
It was some four years ago, when IDD calls especially on Raya eve used to be somewhat compulsory. It just took a phonecall away back then, everyday, at almost every hour. It used to be something that doesn’t take too much to make me all in high spirits. And how someone else could come in between to slowly take all of that away to make me realize what reality means. I just realized how much that has brought me away from many things I have done which I might not have thought of, then. I’m amazed at all the details I used to take note of.
I’ve talked less of that person, those three years passed by just as quickly. Amazing how time changes, and so is your outlook in life, we act differently to different things. Some changes are bound to happen, sooner or later. What might works for me doesn’t necessarily mean it works for you too, but we’ll find our respective ways somehow. All’s changed now, and I figured, as time changes in tune with situations and how we get used to it, letting go and moving on becomes much easier.
I bumped into someone earlier the other day, had a quick chat over some things and walked away to realized I have become more forgiving, allowing things to slip off my mind so easily. I guess that’s how it works. When you allow other people to let go and respect their decision, without coming back to question or talk about the ‘should-have-beens’, you’re doing a favour for yourself and the party. No one will get intimidated. You’ll forget about it sooner than you expected. I don’t think I ran away from situations. I might have ignored but I’m still around.
Not that I have been negligent, but once in a while these thoughts surfaced to take note of the insights, especially when I’m less occupied.
Bridges burnt, new ones found, losing some people and regained several others, rekindled friendships; I’ve got all of those. I’m sure you’ve got a fair share too.
To the ones who left, those who bothered to come back, those who left and came back with new ones, the new ones, those who still stayed, the less contactable ones, forgiven and forgotten, Selamat Hari Raya. Maaf Zahir Batin.

I think Singaporeans who are staying overseas should each record a video dedication and make YouTube meriah sakan!

Felt like I’ve been away for events for the longest time. Come to think of it, it really is. The iftar event was just one day away from Hip Hop Hurray and I had only one day/night to settle as many things possible, double checking on the equipments, confirming with the performers, and getting as many things ironed out. I barely slept. Sekadar tidur2 ayam akibat teringat perkara penting yang terus ditaip langsung di hp.
The soundcheck started at 2pm for the three days so I had more than enough time to check in passes, collect keys, bug some people with sms-es and calls to remind reporting time, wait, go through details with stage manager, ensuring no more changes of schedule, wait while doing endless time-check. Bermusafirlah di Esplanade ditemani pemandangan sangat chantek siang dan malam. I was approached by a reporter to interview me for F1, in which I declined. ‘So why are you here?’ she asked. “Oh, I’m organizing a hip hop event’.
My body started to ache on Day 3, no thanks to the swollen gums too. Wajarlah untuk dimulakan pengambilan Vitamin C untuk gaya hidup sihat. Thought I would be able to start this week and be Wonder Woman to clear off as many stuff and start on new things. I still believe I will.
Special Thanks to the best people of Esplanade. Also to those who performed and those who came to show some love! Thanks to Farhan Shah, Zul Mystroe, Freaky Z, Krazie Starr, Hyrul Anuar and Altimet.
