Yasmin Ahmad(1958-2009)

Acclaimed Malaysian film and advertising director Yasmin Ahmad has passed away at 11:52pm Saturday night at the age of 51, after collapsing from a stroke while attending a meeting at Sri Pentas on Thursday. The 51-year-old creative director at Leo Burnett Kuala Lumpur underwent brain surgery and all stories linking to her situation were closed from public media.

A friend woke me up this morning by texting 'Al-Fatiha' to Yasmin Ahmad saying she had passed away. I look up for some of her great works and contributions to the Malaysian Film Industry and here I am blogging a tribute.

Her works will be remembered, includes her first break thru film for TV3 called 'Rabun' but it was her second 'Sepet' that claimed international accolades and awards such as the Grand Prix at the Creteil International Women’s Film Festival in France. Later that year, the film also picked up the Best Asian Film award at the Tokyo International Film festival. 'Mukhsin' came in 2007 acclaiming the Grand Prix from the Kinderfilmfest International Jury and a Generation K-Plus Crystal Bear Special Mention at the 57th Berlin International Film Festival, one of the top three film festivals in the world. Her latest film 'Talentime', was selected for this year’s Tokyo International Film Festival.

To Yasmin Ahmad, may you rest in peace and your soul be blessed.

Do you think Malaysia needs a change?

Definitely, just about everything from society, self perseverance, attitude(sometimes I wonder and ponder how tourist commented on we Malaysians the self of lack-esteem being polite), traffic system, public transportation and the list goes on, but there is one thing that Malaysia should never ever change, you read me right my friend, its Malaysian food. Malaysia being the multi racial community serves at it's best.

Do you think your voice can make a difference?

What we lack in quality we make up in stupidity, outstaged. We are a democracy country but do we have a voice on our own? Media wise, not! Public speaking, not! In terms relevant to which we indulge ourselves regardless of what we think, we should voice out and yes, a big yes it does make a big difference in society to improve oneself. We should never stop, do voice out your opinions and speak up for yourself at Click here and join Digi's Speak Up! MMS and follow a few simple steps to win yourself great attractive prizes.

Taken Away by Missed

It's 7am. Am at Sis's place, hang out with bro, can't sleep, can't to almost about anything. Its my 'Rumbling' page right so hell with it, arrgghh just can't get you outta my head at all, I tried, hard, very hard! The harder I try, the worse the outcome. There isn't a day, a hour, a minute, a second that's replaceable. What is to become? Can't get it out, it was suppose to be there.

It's been said 'absence makes the heart grow fonder'. Knowing the existence, knowing it to be alive strongly, it's so real but by not knowing where it is, hurts and tortures up to my deepest soul. Daily tasks arrgghh. The word absence logically directs us to missing someone that is absent and makes the heart grow fonder but what if that person doesn't come back? Where am I going to tuck that fonder? Will it just vanish into thin air and floats away? If yes, why can't I do just that?

Acknowledging myself that everything happens for a reason. It's impossible to not miss someone, it's saying no to your emotions and to me that's wrong. When you say no to your emotions you're denying yourself something special and just acting phony because you're masking your true feelings behind a veil of emotional lies. I don't quell my thoughts. Don't full stop me.

Seriously speaking, I don't want to do in any part with 'if you love someone, let it go and if it loves you it'll come back' arrgghh don't want it at all, to go through all the pain of waiting, but in the end it'll be the success glory of my life time story, will it? I prey to God that created me, He listens for sure and I dare to bet it'll be my worth while life time achievement.

Is it true that when you keep thinking of someone everyday, that person is also thinking of you?

p/s : I tuck my hope deepest in me where no one will reach to ever ease the pain.

Confused

What is it that I want to write today? Ermm, nothing much happen today just that I got this one kinda weird e-mail, sounded funny, suspicious as it shows clearly who that particular person is. Doesn't matter, not going to talk about that one, just that it disturbs my mine mentally. If you're reading this, yeah you know who you are and what you're suppose to do. You're suppose to call me and said it out loud 'I'm sorry' ..my response would be with a smile saying 'Thank you so much for calling'.

Woke up at 2pm today *lol. Bath, ate and Facebook arggghh still can't write on walls, sucks. As I was getting ready to go out today, a pop up Yahoo! Messenger page writes 'sorry, finally ada Internet connection' Arrrgghh it simply says paragraph 1. *forget it, im just mumbling and hey I titled my blog 'Rumblings' haha!

I'm here in Starbucks Ikano, watching peeps pass by and go, they watch me, I watch them and that was it, while my head thinks profoundly of an idea of how to create the most exciting weblog. I'm satisfied with what I have now, but to create for others, to satisfy them drains mind energy. Web mastered for http://adorablemuslimah.blogspot.com and they we're satisfied, don't exactly know this. Now I'm working on http://lovelyaustere.blogspot.com/ and meeting them tomorrow. Did a few examples, but don't know if they want it yet or not. Will update.. *lol

Later on today, meeting with my Bro-in-law for coffee to discuss few things that is cramping my mind, can't sleep last night, need a time-off badly, need a vacation to as far as I can go. Crying this time won't heal, hurts just deeper. Time flies by, heart erupts patiently, the world is so staged and I hate it.

Talk later, choww kittt huhuhu *Alina's words.

Account Block

What the heck, today I got blocked from Facebook, main reason was I used too much of a certain featured programme and it blocked me today. This is what happens when I try to post something on someones wall(picture above), arrrghhh!

Funny ain't it, guess no one knew about this, I found out the hard way and it sucks. Arrghh I can't reply to comments and can't post anything on anyone's wall but I can message them through their Inbox, Arrgghh I don't message anyone using Inbox and I don't need that feature Inbox thingy *lol. I still can put up a new status message, play games, tick on 'I Like', chat and errrr what else is there in Facebook? Haha that's about it I guess but we're addicted to it *lol.

Last week, a friend of mine which I knew from Facebook and we've met several times(the best feature ever on Facebook, we get to make new friends), told me that her Facebook account was deleted because of too many usage like how I did but my account is still here surviving *oh thank God lol. Her account just vanished, and she can't register under the same email account for Facebook. Wow..

Solution? None! Just login and Facebook dudes and go to hell with it's so called block rubbish. Guess some of you might be wondering or even giggling there because yesterday I Tagged 50 'Facebook Addicts', today I'm obviously 'The Addict' *lol because I was blocked for using certain featured programme constantly for long hours haha. Ok, I am addicted but not that kind, I'm just saying and don't get jumpy haha.

Facebook, I'll be back.

The Addicts

Love that picture, today I posted it up in my Facebook and tagged 50 top friends(which is the Max.) who I personally call them 'Addicts' to Facebook, they are the daily one's who will do just about anything just as long as they can login into their Facebook haha and they got pissed *lol ..but some thank me and some just won't admit, some wanted more ermm. It's so true, about 70% of Americans just can't live without their Facebook now, it's a trend, the American way and we here in Malaysia are part of it haha.



Wake up at 6am, off to work and punch their card at 8am, first thing once they're seated, at their desk, on that PC errrr, in their mind 'hurry hurry' begging their PC to operate ASAP *lol, why? Facebook is the answer. Addicts I call them. Here are some of the 35 comments (so far..will update *lol) I got from my Favorite all time Tagged sucess *lol
