Close to You

by the Carpenters

WHAT do you do when u feel like you wanna get close to that particular person so badly, that you are willing to do anything just to get his attention and to scream the exact truth..I WANT To BE WITH YOU????

some people have different methods to get attention from the person they liked, or most cases, loved. (i'm not gonna give out those methods because you can just simply GOOGLE it!) tons and tons of ways to do it!

but the key is to...

BE YOURSELF

BE CONFIDENT

STAND OUT IN A VERY UNIQUE WAY

that is the main key, and the rest of the list, GOOGLE it! i'm not a good advisor because whenever i get a crush for someone, i'll be CHICKEN SHIT to tell the truth! however, i'll make sure that i'll have confidence when talking to him(so i wont sweat like a pig and literally wet myself) and be my dorky self. if he liked what he sees, then we are meant for each other!

the end!

Gone Under Sea

AVATAR : WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY JAMES CAMERON

(very loooooong review!!omg!)
(MAYBE CONTAIN SPOILERS) Let's talk animation greatness. Let's talk about how James Cameron minds work up to the extent were impossible was only an expression without definition. i shall start with the storyline. i do have in mind that this is another film about saving the world, on becoming a unexpected hero, and the wars along the way. however, i was curious how the storyline works this time. the first scene were Jake Sully's (played by Sam Worthington) brother were murdered after being mugged. this was the first message that James thought us, about human behavior in this so called civilized world. people get killed on the street because of money. similar when they were in Pandora (planet's name), the Na'vi (the natives in Pandora) were manipulated just because they wanted a mineral rock that costs millions of dollars under the Hometree. after they realise that diplomatic (what they like to call it) way won't succeed, they destroy the place and even killed some of the Na'vi. how humane and civilized they were in the name of economy. The faith the Na'vi had with their spiritual God name Eyra is so strong that when Jake tries to follow a native warrior Neytiri home, the seeds of Eyra (what they called it) flies near and rest on Jakes whole body, she instantly thought it was a sign. A big sign. She then decided to bring him to his mother, a spiritual shaman. even when Jake ask to save Grace (played by Sigourney Weaver), the Omaticaya tribe reach out to Eyra at the tree of souls. here we see how faith can bring us together. And love decides to bloom along the way as Jake fells for Neytiri.

Lets talk graphic. Love the cgi and all, kudos to technology capability. like Pandora was real and the creatures did exist. the smoothness of the motion and the reaction of every animated characters are very much believable. i love the scene where Jake's torch were put out and the forest starts to glowed from every part, plus the ground would glow where the characters stepped on it. however, you'll be the judge when you see it. Its only one person's views after all!

Despite the great CGI, i don't really agree on shots that were zoom in most frankly or spy-cam-liked-style. some scene for me was appropriate but some just kills the emotion especially when Jake confronted the tribe. the emotion were suppose to be overwhelmed, not suspense.

p/s : kudos to the Na'vi language. somehow it just appropriate for a native tribe from another planet language. =)

p/s : this post supposed to be out three days ago, but thanks to the PMS net, it got delayed. FYI

I Go

MUALLAF : DIRECTED BY THE LATE YASMIN AHMAD
you have no idea how glad i was when i heard couple months ago that Muallaf will finally hit its debut in Malaysia, no cuts on the scene! Sadly, the wonderful director can't be here to see her dream came true at last. i will review without going through the storyline. i will only review on what has it influence me this time because this film has hit the main (and maybe sensitive) thing we could ever think of. BELIEVING IN THE NAME OF THE ALMIGHTY.

(MAYBE CONTAIN SPOILERS): i was amused the 1st time i heard Ana (played by Sharifah Aleysha) screamed 105:1 at her teacher's face. i knew exactly what she meant but being ignorant, i didn't hv any clue what was the meaning actually. i knew it came from the bible because i do read the bible (out of curiosity) at the national library. i was caught off guard because i was questioning myself, why on earth could this kid recite something from the bible? i throw out my prejudgment and focus entirely on the film. and when Brian (played by Brian Yap) refuses to go to church although his mother has been bugging him the whole week about going got me. like something had happened from the past that made him turn himself against religion. my views maybe wrong but i do feel that the main point of the film is that we believe there is a God, despite any religion. there is a God, more superior that humans or any living creature on earth, who created us. never deny the divine power of the creator and the teaches that were thought from the Holy book, either it's the bible, Al-Quran etc. and one more thing me and the film had in common is that in secondary school, people thought i was turning back from my religion just because i knew a bit of other religion besides mine. although i find it interesting actually to know how others function, however it doesn't mean that i don't believe what i should believe!
And lastly, i have no idea what's the fuss about the girls telekung (or prayer clothes). it looked like nuns???i believe nuns have several different kind of clothing. and for me, as long as it covers every part necessary and decent, therefore there's nothing wrong with it! what i see was those telekung with all kinds of beadings, colours etc sold throughout the region. i thought you suppose to keep it simple and modest every time you perform your Solat. well, who am i to judge and SO DOES YOU! i believe the only one who can judge is God and in my case Allah SWT! i'm not that religious but i'm not that dumb either.

p/s: i'll give it a 8/10 for making me realise i never did pay that quite attention to the story behind the Quran. its facinating really. and 3/10 to the ignorant audience, kept on disturbing me with "boleh ke diorng buat camni?" or "ish! teruknye"

p/s 2: i almost forgot! Kudos to Shuk n Abg Pitt on becoming the most 'vicious' gangster ever..hehe!

Autumn's Monologue

by From Autumns to Ashes

when i was nineteen, I've lost my father who i barely knew. I've lost my dearest brother at thirteen. to whom knew me well, you'll understand part of my sufferings throughout my entire life. and that, i thank you for giving me the chance to be a part of your life. and that, i would like to share this video.

the first time i saw this, i cried hard. no words to describe it. (this guy's name is Onision, do see his Youtube page after watching this.)

NEW MOON : Directed by Chris Weitz (MAYBE CONTAINS SPOILERS)
honestly i was a bit impressed by how the results turned out compared to the last film which is TWILIGHT. i wasn't a fan when i watched TWILIGHT but this one, this one is different! from the technical stuff to the storyline. shots are made beautifully, really hit the core of emotions especially when Bella was searching for Edward after he broke up with her. when she fell on the ground and curl herself, camera goes to a closeup. the soundtrack really puts people into the mood! plus, fight scene this time you can say believable. no more unreasonable effects, they're in the right places! and my favorite part was when Bella was miserable and sitting on her chair watching through the window as the seasons gone by. NO MORE CRAZY STEADYCAM SHOTS!ahaha! storyline, i love it how Kristen Stewart got into her character more this time. somehow she's really into this Edward guy, like when you've got yourself a broken heart, you feel as if hundreds of knives are stabbing you like crazy. she definitely showed it! i also like the expression that Edward had when he realized that Bella was alive and she was right in front of him. lastly, i love the part when Jacob said "it's 107 degrees here". cute!

Edward is hot but whats even hotter is Jacobs new buff up biceps! so, are you TEAM EDWARD or TEAM JACOB?

p/s: checkout their soundtracks for a doze of cool, eerie, upbeat tunes...=p

Last Request

by Paolo Nutini

Recently i went through all of my diaries. surprisingly i hv 4 of them (including the current one)! i love walking back to memory lane just to see what kinda person i was back before...kinda shocked to see how different i was 10 years ago. (yes i've been writing it for 10 years) some parts, i was more grown up beyond my age...some parts were just me being blinded by love. people come and go...

how i wish i could meet all of the people who i've written bout but lost contact with..i wanna know how's their life so far, are they as similar as mine or more than i could imagine....

one thing i mostly proud of myself is that i've manage to went through all of the stuff that when i read back, it was impossible to do so...

Laughing With

by Regina Spektor

No one laughs at God....

reality is a harsh word. knowing that we're living in this harsh world, we called it cruel. we blamed God for this cruel life, however we didn't realise that God is funny. because one day we will sit down and laugh back at thoes decisions that we've made. thoes things that we've done. NEVER REGRET LIFE.

because regretting means loosing hope, loosing hope means thinking that God was being cynical. remember the phrase "God would never give all of these obsticles to his man without knowing that the person could handle it well." it's the truth!

try to turn reality into one little fantasy/dream is just you being ignorant or a liar. have the efford to turn bitter to sweet. never lie to yourself thinking that life is being harsh to you without discovering the reasons why.

remember that when you die, you'll be forgotten. you'll rott in the ground, bit by bit. NOBODY would remember you forever. so, cherish this harsh world, coz there's always a beautiful side somewhere....

Insya Allah

Fidelity

by regina spektor

i came across a vblog by kevjumba, talkin bout he never really had sex education from his parents. he was sayin that he'd never even speak,mentioned or anything that involves sex infront of his parents. even watching movies with sex scenes is uncomfortable.

well...

back when i was in melbourne, i was pretty bored with the weather they had. rain fell frequently, the coldness makes me super sleepy. so one day, my stepdad ask me whether i want to stroll around the city with my mom. so i said why not. i suggested that while waiting for my stepdad to finish his meeting with a client, me n mom should watch a movie. "sex in the city" was on. silly me, i didnt expect any sex scene to be shown in a cinema. i was wrong. i had a 2 hours of awkwardness watching thoes scenes with my mom. plus, my mom was acting super excited watching thoes girls get banged. so, i tried really hard to make it enjoyable and less awkward. end of the day, we had fun.

i never mentioned about that day to my mother anymore....

my mom is the coolest mom in the history of mankind, however i'm still her daughter. some things are ment to be learned by self. although i was sex educated by my mom, the last talk we had was the mother of awkwardness.(-_-")

Tentang Kita

by peterpan

RADIT DAN JANI - First indonesian movie that i felt it was so brave, honest and drama that i'm touched with! it's a modern rock & roll romeo & juliet (or more like sid vicious & nancy) love story. boy meets girl, boy marries girl, sex + drugs = baby along the way. although the story seemed cliche, it touched me bcoz Jani (played by Fahrani) was so loyal to her husband, Radit (Vino G.Bastian) despite him being jobless and a drug addict. they live by stealing food from mini markets, restaurant, and pick pocketting. also her rich family who from the beginning objected the relationship. they were much in love and never bother what other might say.

for me, it's a guilty pleasure of mine to have that kinda life and relationship, never care as long as we are loyal to each other. becOme partners in crime, and never do the job alone. and i respect Radit, despite him being a drug addict and his jealousness, he never lay a single hand on his wife. the love and respect he had was beyond any man could give. he also went through a heartbreak when he realised he had to return Jani to her family just to make sure she and their unborn baby could live a normal secure life. *tear

this is like the atomic love story, because this shows that when we're young, love was pure. nothing in this world could break such bond. but when we get older, the fun part of being in love slowly fades. you start thinking about securities, carrier, kids, pride...etc.

Make You Feel My Love

by adele/bob dylan

dah lame aku x taip dlm bahasa melayu pasar. jadi aku taipla. baru2 ni aku banyak dengar tentang masalah relationship yang diluahkan oleh rakan2 aku. betul, bkn senang nk menjaga satu2 perhubungan tu. tp x bermaksud kita xperlu berusaha. dalam hubungan perlu ada give and take. jgn lebihkn memberi atau menerima. padah jadinya. dan jgn la terlalu emotional (bagi pompuan) sbb bile kite emo, bkn bleh cairkn hati lelaki, lagi die bengang ade la! dan yang lelaki, jgn terlalu ego. jgnla liat sgt utk keluarkn kata2 yg leh sedapkn hati. sbb setiap perkataan yg kluar dpt menenangkn keemoan pompuan.

mende yg aku merepek ni?

skang tgh bln puase, jd aku nk ucapkan SELAMAT BERPUASA!!

p/s: sejak keblakangan ni, byk kwn2 aku yg dah dok jauh/merantau...korg ni x rindu aku ke?

praying so hard and crossing my fingers hoping that by next year,everything would be over...insya Allah!

Man In The Mirror

by michael jackson

what the fuck is wrong with people in this world?why am i so pissed? it's because ever since the news broke out about MJ's death until now, people still talk shit bout him. like, come on! the man is dead, let him lay in peace! what sickens me was when they put up the word pedophile! go to this link, they put MJ's name on the description :

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pedophile

honestly, nobody has proved he was guilty of being one. you can see the way he talks, he was soo gentle and soft spoken but somehow in this cruel world, they thought he was being a homo or something. even in his dying day, people still judging him. the funny part was, even if he was proven innocent, he still gave those bitches who accused him a big fat check. you know why? BECAUSE ONCE APON A TIME, HE USED TO BE THIS LITTLE BOY WHO NEVER HAD A CHANCE IN CHILDHOOD. constantly been pushed to succeed, deep down, he doesn't want any children in this world to feel the same way he did back then. TRAPPED. so, in hope that the kid would have a bright future, he gave the money. like, come on!he has like what, three kids? plus, why do you care soo much how his looks constantly changed? does he used you money for it? he had several surgeries on his nose to make it smaller because he was insecured (the fact that his own father called him 'big nose' as a nickname, come on!what kinda father is that?). then suddenly he turned white despite a skin disease that spreads white spots on to the skin. he had a surgery for it also. SO WHAT?

All i'm saying is that, you guys need to be more human. respect his departure, respect the family's grief, mourn if you will. but please, STOP criticizing him. he's gone, let him be. let us remember the changed that he made, the barrier that he broken, the love that he had spreaded, the hope that he had created. farewell, and thank you...

New Divine

by linkin park

TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN - now they're talkin bout the ancient origins of the autobots n decepticons. the leaders are the primes but one prime turn evil n his name was the fallen. on earth, optimus prime and the gang (more autobots came to help after optimus summoned them) work with the goverment in a top secret mission, fight the remain decepticons that landed on earth and do coverups like they suppose to do. the previous fight between optimus prime and megatron in the city although it happened 2 years ago became a myth (thanks to the power of goverment agents and their toys). sam lead a normal life, preparing for college. mikaela has her own workshop, so they've started a long-webcam-relationship. a piece of the Allspark was found inside of sam's sweater that he wore 2 years ago, it sparked and ancient wording suddenly flashes inside his brain. since then, he realise he had the same situation like his great great grandfather, only he doesnt wear glasses n thoes stuff was stuck inside. PAUSE! not gonna spoil it...ahaha!

i love the fact that the story continues on with decepticons still invaiding, there's more autobots (plus a woman version!) n the whole bang bang. i also like how there's more humour in this movie. the sound effects are great! i like contrasty visualisation, so i'll give creadit to that. it talks bout the importance of brotherhood, and sacrifices to save humanity (are we even human?)n president obama was announced in it! plus, can shia be more hotter?(summore his injury on his left hand are real ppl!) plus plus ms. megan fox on a hot red superbike.

what i didn't like was, i must admit that the cgi was beyond brilliant, but the fight scene between optimus prime n decepticons in the woods was somehow, blurred. doesn't sinc with the lights of the enviroments. and the details are off (except for talking scene)...maybe coz the fight scene was the hardest to create? the editing confuses me. jump cuts n fast cuts to slow mo are all over the place.especially when it involved human scene or talking scene (humans and robots). this has been the one that bothers me since the first transformers. storyline are too compressed or maybe to short. sometimes abit dragged and lots of holes. sexy terminator in transformers? PLUS we go to robotheaven when we die?

(questions that i found in a review that i could agree on) "CONTAINS SPOILERS" Where does Sam's bandage come from? What about his extra sock? Why does Sam's roommate not contribute anything at all? What was the Fallen doing for those thousands of years Megatron was frozen in ice? How does one satellite receive transmissions from everywhere on the planet? Why does Wheelie hump Mikaela's leg? Why do we have to see John Turturro's thong? Why are robots who join together to become Devastator also seen fighting the Army at the same time? Why does the government want only our military fighting Decepticons when our weapons seem unable to make so much as a dent on any of them? Why did the ancient Egyptians build a pyramid around the sun-destroying machines instead of just breaking it? Why is the Matrix of Leadership bigger in the Fallen's hand than in Sam's? And how do Mikaela's pants stay so clean?

Angel

the mystical mist in the morning,
calmly the angels blow,
i felt tingle when the wind brushed,
my hair flew, angel's hands touch,
so soothing my body lavitates,
streach my right hand to feel the sky,
although it's within my reach,
magical creatures lift me up,
my spirit gain consciousness,
my ears slowly hears the ballad of the voices,
angels singing lead by my sweet love,
who pulls me closer,
who sings through my ear,
who hugs my waist, streach my right hand,
until the blue rays makes contact with my fingertips.

Yes We Can

by Barack Obama feat various artists




found this in my friend's myspace bulletin board.yes,it did happen in Malaysia.but after i read the comments, it was a fight between indonesian workers and residents who migrated here. also, i read my bro-in-law's blog about unity.(for thoes who doesnt understand malay,sorry!its in malay). but basically he was sayin about how ppl think that unity has died among us. he believed that in this new goverment(new prime minister,Datuk Seri Najib Tun Abdul Razak), Malaysia still manage to preserve harmony and peace. for me, MALAYSIAN(malay,chinese,indian etc included) need to change their mindset. forget the past,move on to a better future if not for you, for the youth, for the new generation. although people are still slamming the americans and President Obama, i strongly believe on his oath that YES WE CAN MAKE A CHANGE!

granparents,parents,aunties,uncles,cousins,brothers,sisters, remind yourself of what kind of country you wish to live in. my friends, always remember that we are the cause of change!we have the power to create the dreams of the people! dont waste yourself in something that would mark a scar on the people in the eyes of the whole world!

Positively 4th Street

"you've got a lotta nerve,
to say you are my friend..."

love dat qoute. well, i'm gonna do a review for a movie that i've watched recently, yey!

X-MEN : ORIGINS WOLVERINE, a story about the life of Jimmy Logan who seeks revenge towards victor creed for the killing of his girlfriend, ultimately ends up in an experiment project called weapon x. i dont want to spoil it for you, but what i can say is that Jimmy Logan is in fact Wolverine n Victor Creed is Sabretooth and they are blood-tied brothers. The opening montage show them working together side by side through wars after wars. i was excited when young Logan screams and claws came out from his small knuckles. but the wars brings out the worse of Victor. when the story starts to introduce other mutants, i was beginning to feel anxious but apparently my expectation wasn't even close. although Agent Zero (played by Daniel Henney) was looking cool with his skills handling guns, i have no idea whether he's a mutant or very skillful but he could also be a well-trained soldier! same as Wade Wilson, with his swords. Gambit was HOT! although in this film his character wasn't shown as important and as much as Logan. Logan seemed very disturbed and sensitive person apart being mysterious, sexy and attitude dude like we've known from the past x-men films.also dont forget will.i.am debut....died in a shameful way, being predictable and all. i love the fact that if you really follow x-men (comic,animated etc)you'll see how everything started like how mutants got together and end up at the mutants academy and how Prof. Xavier was like 15 years ago, also the dramatic scene right before and after Logan lost his memories (with memory erased bullet). what i didnt like was the whole not enough fight scene, scene to scene was sometimes confusing, editing, some errors from the CGI's (cat's claws vibrates?), and the conflict between Logan and Creed, wasn't very believing, although they ARE brothers.

my verdict for this film is, OK with 3/5 stars. creadits to the actors! they're great..!

make or break, u fix it!

"please make a silent" he says, while people starts to panic,
when all of their goods are gone, and the golds are in the attic,
and children starts to wonder, where was the toy,
to hold on while their parents run around and go "oh boy"
my oh my, this is how it happens,
when normal gets crazy, and the lost soul starts to prayin'

Beyond Here Lies Nothin'

by Bob Dylan (new)

they say that the revolution has reached its peak,
that you could finally hear the youth speak,
men are free, woman and children stops to weep,
but the lies keep pouring, just makes me sick,
money is worshipped, dictators slowly rise,
hands tied, eyes shut, voices flies,
within a minute, across the ocean, i hear cries,
scream in pain, slowly their husbands dies,
capturing every second disasters strike,
when it was about time to stop the fight,
they came in silence, shoot you by the light,
they don't mind if God sees these gruesome sight,
now they lived in fear, buildings keep fallin',
don't care whose the enemy, they just kept shootin',
to spare their soul, across the battlefield they crawlin',
searchin' for hope although beyond here lies NOTHIN'....

a poem i wrote based on the title of bob dylan's new single...=p

I Go

by Aizat ost Talentime

just watched my idol's movie called "Talentime". basically its about this talent show in St. Anderson school (haris pasti berbangga),Ipoh, Perak. Melur (played by Pamela Chong), a malay-mix heritage lives in a very loving family. she has a beautiful voice and plays the piano. Mahesh (Mahesh Jugal Kishor), an indian boy lives with his mother,sister Bhavani (Jaclyn Victor) and his aunt. a very handsome boy but deals with voice and hearing impaired. Hafiz(Mohammad Syafie b Naswip), a very smart malay boy with his mother fight for her life due to brain cancer played by Azean Irdawaty (she's amazing!) love collide when group of boys with transports are assign to fetch the finalist for rehearsals. mahesh were assign to melur. well, i cant give any spoilers due to the unfairness. what i can say is that this movie is the most melodramatic film yasmid ahmad has made yet. i can't really conform coz i haven't seen muallaf yet due to the problems with either the censorship board or the public sensitivity. yasmin has pushed the bouderies further and further towards the cliff and maybe soon the whole of Malaysia would accept the reality of film as the medium of awareness. there even a scene in the beginning that i thought was totally true involves the respect of the national anthem. also the way of telling a direct story without being very direct like falling in love makes the heart glows like the moon. or death welcomes you with an offer of presents. what amazes me was the part where Embun(Azean) meet someone very strange and awkward who some might assume him as the angel of death played by Jit Murad. Also the part when Melur and Mahesh sat on a bench in the garden with half naked babies playing with bubbles. Syafie was great on delivering emotions without weeping like crazy. also to newcomer Kahoe and even Jaclyn Victor, never thought she could act soo well!!kudos to all the casts and crews! i'll give it 4 1/2 star of 5.

yasmin is the most brilliant commercial director in Malaysia, giving us the new meaning for cinema. i strongly recomment everybody to watch this film and don't forget a box of tissue!you have been warned!

i want you

Me and Bobby McGee

by janis joplin

this week i've watched 3 different movies. well, watch movies in the weekdays are more enjoyable that weekends. less people and discounts on tickets! 1st were "sex drive". i love that movie because its been a while since i laugh my ass off in the cinema!a story about a virgin-18-year-old dude went on a roadtrip with his two bestfriend (included girl bestfriend who he fancies)to meet a chatroom hottie. along the way, there's obsticles and self-finding also some sarcastic amish. also stranded rock band, also fucking someones girlfriend using several unusual positions.

the 2nd movie was "role models". story bout two co-workers force to choose between doing community sevice or go to jail. so the choose to sign up for big and small program where you befriended kids in need. well, one kid was a imaginative 15 year old who live in the middle earth or 6th century land and one was a royal pain rascal black 10 year old kid.

and the third was much anticipated, "watchmen"! some may say it's an eyecandy movie. some might even say it's the most boring movie since "the spirit" (in my opinion, the spirit was great and a smart movie). but for me it was awesome! but my satisfaction to enjoy the movie to the fullest was cut short when my bladder was about to burst! i can't really review on the whole movie because of it but i love the fact that Zack Snyder choose to tell the whole background of the heroes from when they first established, when the second generation came in and every character's deep darkest regrets. but what i can say is this film has promoted several films as a small spoof. for instance, "300" (obviously!), "the spirit" (through Rorschach's dialogue bout the city), "Frost/Nixon" (maybe. but i think nixon was potrayed bcoz he was in the comic, or in that era. i may be wrong). whatever it is, WATCH THIS FILM!

p/s:i've watched slumdog millionare. my friend cried but i can't seem to drop any tears!technically, the sound, the cinematography was great but the actors need some more work!except for the kids, they're great and cute too!

Salam semua. aku arini ingin menulis dalam bahasa melayu pasar atau kaso. arini tak tau kenape maleh nk berbahasa inggeris (english) sebab selalunye aku menulis dalam bahasa tersebut. cut story short (potong cerita pendek?), aku baru lepas tengok cerita Burn After Reading. satu benda yang aku tak agak langsung apabila pada satu scene, Brad Pitt ditembak terus di bahagian dahi oleh George Clooney. aku agak sedey gak sebab dalam cerita tuh Brad Pitt sangat adorable(dlm bm aku xtau nk cakap ape.maaf).aku pun menganalisis seluruh cerita yang mungkin takkan masuk akal dalam pemikiran manusia biasa. mungkin pemikiran manusia yang mempunyai masalah mental. (aku saja nk membesar2kan cerita) namun cerita tu memberikan aku satu penjelasan bahawa pelakon hollywood sangat pandai berlakon dan memang patut mereka kaya-raya. aku tak tengok lagi The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, tapi banyak ckp yang aku akan mengeluarkan statement sebegitu apabila aku tgk cerita tu.

sampai sekarang aku xtau sape yang berkebolehan macam diorang tuh di malaysia. kat oscar persaingan dia sangat sengit! kat cni? yang terbaik setakat ini aku menabik spring kepada kak Ogy Ahmad Daud.

i'm not there

a song title and also a movie title, played by 6 different characters but everything has a common connection. and that is by the name of Bob Dylan. 1st time i heard the name of bob dylan when i was still in primary. i didn't know him well but i knew his name thanks to my pak teh. i've search high and low for the music that will always sticks in my head eventhough some kind of music just died on that era. then in high skool, i heard the word 'indie artist'. they are people who speaks their mind bout everything!even bout a far away land. when i heard their songs, it hits me that their musics are influenced by the 90's (so i thought). wallflowers was the first band that i could think of. then alanis morrisette. but when people starts to heard bout indie and missunderstood the concept, i just walked away. my steps stopped when i saw the name bob dylan. it sounded like a toxicating acid genius (although he doesn't like the term 'genius') human being!so i googled him (sounds like an obsessive freak!) and try to hear couple of songs. i didn't really fell in love at 1st sight coz it sounded very blues to me. my brain was already invaided by instrumental, acoustics songs. but everything changed when i saw the song title Blowin in The Wind. and it was like a sign when i went to borders bookstore (in the curve), i saw a big book of photographed bob dylan, reassembled by bono. yes, u2 bono! well after i saw his pictures, i realised that he's a guy that is serious with what he's into but very free spirited. and when i check back all of the artist i've been admiring, their influences include dylan.

well, i also heard that cate blanchett acted as a dude in i'm not there and guess what? the movie is about him also. same as factory girl whr edie sedgwick (sienna miller) involve herself with a folk musician that critics predict that it was in fact dylan, played by hayden christensen.edie was also potray'd in i'm not there as coco played by michelle williams. so i bought 'i'm not there' and keep on fantasizing bout dylan ever since (the younger 50's-70's dylan that is).
