thanks to FB, most of us able to reconnect back with few individuals who we are close, holds dear to our hearts. Im pretty selective when it comes to this, no point having thousands of friends but you dont know them personally. I was questioned " why the hell i didnt attend the high school gatherings". The answer is,i rather pay them a personal visit to the ones whom i clicked. This is one of them. His name is Hisyam, also known as Bob, a.k.a - he was nicknamed Bob Bus Stand. Why Bus Stand ( local bus terminal )? The moniker was given by our history teacher as Bob didnt like to attend school ( who does ) and hang out at our local bus station terminal. That time - shopping malls is not hip. Our bus terminal is the life of our town, located in main intersection, it's the central nerve and there we able to observe so many stuffs, events and incidents. That is our REAL school. this in 1995 We like to observe transvestites too. Its fun, dramatic and episodic too. b

was on the road for nearly 2 weeks non-stop, i dont know where to begin as i was overseeing multiple projects, treating screenplays and at the same time, assessing the kids projects and assignments. Anyway this is one of the awesome stuffs i did with Hasnul and Zanita from Balai Seni Visual Negara - visiting one of the cat's shelter. The owner did a brilliant job in caring these stray furkids. With names ranging from Gary to Merah, my heart melted seeing these rascals. 

Intertextuality is shaping a text's meaning by another text. Intertextual includes: allusion, quotation, translation, plagiarism, translation, pastiche and parody. Meaning visual and text support each other to create a MEANING. Now lets see a work by the late Ismail Zain, entitled Al - Kesah you see the whole cast of Dallas ( a popular soap drama TV in the 80's - standing in front of a kampung house - what he wants to show is, everyone in the whole world knows who the hell is JR. ( from Melaka to Zimbabwe ). In 2016, everyone knows John Cena, Ultraman/Doreamon and now Pokemon monsters. Like what Mcluhan mentioned Global Village, same language, same emoji and etc.... a brilliant inter-text work done by our reliable pirated dvd seller the grand-daddy off all René Magritte - The Treachery of Images Ok, lets experience inter-text beyond the gallery binawe punya restaurant, i laughed at the very moment i saw this   a road that i just found....

The society as usual will never stop cornering people who defies their conventions, notably to all singles ( that's me and the rest ). They will never stop asking the newly married couple - when their going to get the first kid, parents asking and comparing their child's grade. Anyway the  The vicious circle. Seriously i have run out of ideas of answering this, its much better for me keep quiet and shrug my shoulders than engaging them - worst, making then lengthen the subject matter. Of coz - the married ones, i have nothing against them - except good will wishes, hoping they will continue to love each other till the world's end. I got this question in one of my lectures Sir, why you are still single? Are you happy being single? and finally have some time to reflect upon it.  Relationships happens, break-up happens, falling in love happens - but remember falling OUT of LOVE happens too. Be prepared to have your heart broken unto pieces but mind you falling in

cmon Gareth Edwards, kindly give me and the rest a good reason to smile. This narrative is set 19 years after Revenge of The Sith. Spoiler alert - geng successfully stole the plans anyway, The Death Star engineers is pretty lousy too, got blown up twice. Really looking forward for this, The Suicide Squad is uncompromisingly bad. Lets see how big Vader's role here - i was jumping for joy after James Earl Jones signed up his contract for this film, so it can be pretty major....just dont be an asshole by becoming like Suicide Squad ( again ) by putting unnecessary, brainless Joker in already crowded film, till today i dont understand why The Enchantress need to dance and banging everyone....  

One of my students asked me after i finished one of my lectures..Sir, can i see one of your old stuffs? here you go, this is way way way back in 1998. The Beatles played an important part in me, they found their voice in the White Album and go all out nuts in Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club album. These two is like a moon and a sun. Paul's melody always complement John's whimsical, brilliant reflection before all of them go separate ways. ink on paper, 1998

.....and Mattel released Beatles Yellow Submarine this year. it's 50 years old - mind you as usual, need to purchase it from scalpers. I was so out of touch...till i got this from the internet. Back in the late 90's and early 2000, i can easily pick any Batmobiles from the shelf, even purchasing extra and give it away to my closest pals.  and today, i cant find any one of them.There are dedicated people who lined up to to the mall early in the morning, few toy departmental staffs told me that these guys know the exact time and place "when" the new model arrives.Just because they will get all the "hot" models and selling it at secondary market in a higher price. The models which will be snapped up even before they are displayed are the JDM ( Jap shit cars ), pop culture related models such as this and of course the Batmobiles.  again, this wont happen if there are no buyers. but the buyers like me likely to be frustrated seeing those p

seriously Uniqlo, what the hell you are thinking? Darth Vader on a "pink" t-shirt? Cmon man!!!! its totally acceptable if they place emo Kylo Ren instead of his grandfather....anyway now it's retailing at RM19.90. Uniqlo released Star Wars t-shirt ( caught me by surprise ), but the price turned me off. RM60? Cmon man......anyway got the Falcon, Solo and Chewie....yabba dabba doo!!!!

The Coen Brothers first and foremost can write, seriously they able to take any oddball characters, out of this world settings and make it believable. Their latest film, which i enjoyed and loved it so much is Hail Caesar. Surrounded by top notch stars anchored by Josh Brolin, there are so many problems he need to settle. Few scenes cracks me up. As the studio is producing a film about Roman Empire and the arrival of Jesus Christ. So Eddie have to round up a rabbi, a priest, theological experts to discuss-see if the script is well rounded in every perspectives. The result is hilarious. Catholic Clergyman:  Christ is more properly referred to as the SON of God. Eddie Mannix:  Not sure I follow, Padre. Rabbi:  Young man, you don't follow for a very simple reason; these men are screwballs. God has children? What, and a dog? A collie, maybe? God doesn't have children. He's a bachelor. And VERY angry. Protestant Clergyman:  He USED to be angry
