Level 3000

had superb ample time to download all the films i wanted to watch. Netflix's The Platform took me by surprise. titled as El Hoyo ( The Hole ), guess they need to find a better name to market it.  timely piece of work. Interesting representation of HELL. Read -  http://wenhousecrafts.com/places/hell.htm Read - https://medium.com/@polygyan/dantes-9-circles-of-hell-inferno-c1ecd922539a Multiple layers and throwing us a question is how we going to react when we at the lowest, how we act and decide when we "have" luxury or worst thinking that we ourselves are higher than somebody. anybody transferred to any higher floor will get the golden opportunity to lay their hands on the table filled with delicious food before it lowered down until level 333. Talking about food....lets see the magical Maslow's Hierachy. Same thing with position, benefits and salary.....The audience will follow and witness the journey of Goreng ( the Hero ) voluntarily su...

everything comes in pair, in the midst of COVID 19 deadly outbreak, hospitals all over scrambling for time, manpower and equipment to rescue the affected ones, dealing with choice of life and death - outside we have people scrambling to find excuse to do something. From tabligh meet-ups, gay celebrations, Smurfs and Catholic and Hindu gatherings...... Smurf Gathering in France

Out Of Tune

Steve Vai once said to Ozzy: ‘You know Black Sabbath ’s first album is out of tune?’ Ozzy replied : ‘You know what, Steve ? It still sells! So what the fuck do you want?’ Rock music is not supposed to sound perfect. If you want to hear perfect, go and watch a fucking symphony orchestra.”

Producer Konon.....

INT : Day  Someone passed me his name card and proceeded to introduced himself. A producer….a “film producer”, but after 15 minutes, he didn’t produced anything and in fact, he is a former production crew. So a from a production crew to a producer…that is an ambitious jump.  As usual I don’t have a card “ so what you want bro?” “ bro – boleh kasi advice sikit – I heard that you are in the film industry too” “panjang cerita – just wait some time for me get in the mood to explain in a short essay” its an overview…so if you want to know where you stand, read it ok. how to call yourself an industry when the industry is funded by the ruling government. An industry need to separate itself from the any government of the day, standing independently from any ruling government of the day and have it's own web of marketing schematics.   Its interesting to note to many so called producers complaining ( predictable ) that they needed funds to kickstart ...

Mekar Citra

2019 is a pretty interesting year for me. Endless traveling does take a huge toll on me. But i manage to meet up with few brilliant entrepreneur talented individuals in the form of Kak Zaiton, her daughter Malin Faisal and Abang Rahim. Its interesting to know that they dabbled in world of puppetry. Think of Sesame Street. At first we initially wanted to design an interesting narrative featuring puppets but i got to know that Kak Zaiton is one of the celebrated experts offering advice to various organizations in the field of classical Malaysian songs such as Dodoi and Syair ( poetry )  A new character was build specifically for this project, a furry fluffy cat names Uteh ( white ). Syair, Dodoi and other classical tunes they recorded have interesting, strong lyrics. Most of them are not preachy, designed to impart sage advises on how to be a good person and what is best that these are taught in schools. So what is the best way to combine all of their resources. We d...

Dont Feel Old

We cant control whatever that happens but we can control our decisions, actions and most importantly our decisions. Most of the time, i consciously evaluate what i could learn if i decide on doing the things i want to do. Its not about ego, self praise - but putting myself unto an extreme condition where how i could steer myself in a strange conditions, people and unpredictable challenges. Its not about taking leap of faith or packing your bags to Himalaya to find yourself, its all about list of choices you made - in order to find yourself. Yes, again i had enough adults and endless societies saying this and that, giving sage advices ( when they are not ), in the end of the day - its all about how WE ( You ) live your fucking life.   from devastated Kelantan to hidden jungles of Pahang From lecturing, curating, directing, producing, designing and building to writing something - all these crative processes are the same. It all end up with 5W and 1H, pro...

Meet Sitti Hikmawatty, a college "professor" and the commissioner for health, narcotics and addictive substances at the Indonesian Child Protection Commission (KPAI) mentioned that Men Have “Super Sperm” That Can Impregnate Women In Swimming Pools. If this is a superhero plot - the baby will become Swimming Pool Man. faster than a speeding bullet, locomotives and Aquaman
