most of the time people think of their problems is so so so huge, eventually making others revolve around them, asking for help. the problem is  and mind you - the others have their own sets of problems too. ada paham?

Its pretty tough seeing dad hospitalized, jabbed, stabbed by numerous wires, tubes while mom beside him hanging on and doing the very best supporting him physically and mentally. Its pretty tough for me since last 2 months.

May the force be with us!!!

Q - Until today, society cant understand art. A – to start with – what sort of society? Higher/elite class, middle class or working class? No doubt the elite able to appreciate the orchestra, enjoy long hours contemplating in art galleries, musing about strokes – ooh ahh at everything, talk until wee hours of how this and that’s. Just like any designers took 40 minutes commenting on the kerning of a font.  The middle class are busy toiling away, raking in more cash, sending their kids to the best schools hoping/praying/doing what the very best that their kids will be better off / successful than they are. The working class/blue collar class pulak – busy working non-stop, feeding their 5 – 6 kids, sending them to national schools, staying in small rented 3 room house or in the flats. Put yourself in small cramp space, with babies crying, neighbours bickering and someone cooking something, the smell goes into your room. I immediately will grabmy motorbi...

Seriously i had enough dealing with people, academic articles its pretty filled lengthy words, which ended up in the journals that people will not read  ( collecting dust ) - as it's filled with technical jargon and pompous words. First of all - every one need to acquire their basic skills, invest some time to understand the language ( the mechanism ), secondly - look how their craft/product is supported with adequate context - ensuring that their product stands thru the test of time. Most of the time, most are good with the skills but lacking in the contextualizing aspect. Worst, both aspects are weak. Every form created must carry content. The every  why, where, how, who - how it going to be translated,produced, presented are the ones that add context to it. What is context? context -  t he circumstances that form the setting for an event, statement, or idea, a nd in terms of which it can be fully understood and assessed. Case Study No 1:  Plato ...

Most film students will struggle in the areas of writing a script. Visualization and writing is two different areas. When your script is lengthy, epic ( grander than Lord of the Rings), they will run unto a huge problem when they step unto production, resulting into a messy product. Most of the time - i will advise them to keep it minimal, simplistic, but bear in mind simplicity takes alot. Here's an example - keep your story short, simple and engaging. Secondly - audience is intelligent. Never - ever under-estimate them. EXT/Day One Minister visited an tribal village. As what Minister will do - he will give bullshit speech. After he finished with his usual bullshits - the villagers gave a rousing cry " Hoya - Hoya" Encouraged with this, Minister said " a new road to your village" "HOYA-HOYA" Tears running down minister's cheeks, he ended his speech with " we come to you as Equals - we are brothers!!" Long mighty cr...

INT/ Night One night, a husband was sitting on one side of the fire and his wife on the other.  Between them there is a cat and a dog, peacefully blinking at the fire.  The wife said " see how peacefully and quietly they get along together, Why we cant do that?"  Her husband replied " tie them together and see what happen" The End

EXT/ FARM wide shot - A recent graduate from agricultural uni made an inspection of a farmer's land and livestock.  He inspected everything, then he saw a goose.  "what is that thing?" the graduate asked, farmer replied " you are the expert - you tell me"  The graduate had never seen such a thing, knew everything but have no EXPERIENCE and NEVER come across such an animal as a goose.  The he texted his officer to help identify the goose - he wrote " a long lean object, empty lean stomach, long sad face " cut to  His officer replied " that is the farmer"

INT/ Day  a son said "im leaving home dad!!...i want women, wine and adventures!!" His dad stood up.  "Dont try to stop me dad!!!" said the son.  Dad replied "who is trying to stop you..I'm coming with you son!!!.

women = kalau ada pening, kalau takder pening,conclusion jangan cari pasal. #jgncaripasal
