Is it the story, or sex?

A year ago I watched a movie called Twilight. Groundbreaking? No. Captivating? No. Killer storyline? Little. I remember I wasn't mesmerized in that 90 minutes. I was busy looking at girls drooling over Edward Cullen. I watched a lot of movies and that movie by far never would have succeeded. But it was everywhere. Can I watch E! without them mentioning it? Can I go to the bookstores without seeing their cut-outs? It's a clean no.

New Moon gonna come out in a few days and I dunno if I actually excited over it. Call me hypocrite, but the reason why I'm mentioning it in the past posts is because it's a pop culture phenomenon, and I want all of you to experience it. So maybe 15 or 20 years from now yours and my kids will asking question about how big Twilight and we can answer to them, specifically. It's like when I was asking my dad how big was the movie Grease in the 70's. I was reading the third book, Eclipse and half way through it was the same story all over again. It's Bella as the center of attention, again. I ended up didn't buy the book (I got it first as e-book). So why Twilight franchise is so successful?

It was sex all along. Or lust that is. The market for the books is teenage girls. So perfect leading man is needed. In the book Edward portrayed as the perfect guy ever. In the movie Robert Pattison filled that role. Not kinda Edward in my mind, but he's close enough to make horny girls screaming like they were competing in MTV Scream Queen reality show. So the same formula with New Moon film? You betcha.

This time Edward is no longer hot (or ironically ice cold) so Jacob is the new Edward. This time not only the leading man got the looks, but killer bods as well. Perfect combo. And again teenage girls have someone to fill their hearts until the next movie come out. I saw the trailer and I bet it will be like the original movie. Modified, shortened and lame acting. But that didn't stop anything related to Twilight hit #1 in every charts (the soundtrack managed to hit #1 in US).

So people what are you paying for? A quality movie or just to fill your lust? Either way is fine with me, at least know what you are paying for. So don't complain when your boyfriend angry with you drooling all over the Quiletes pack.

Six packs to be exact.

Yea, can't wait...

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

For those who taking public transport, this post means nothing to you. As for car users, this post probably means something to you. But for motorists, this post gonna make you nodding to (almost) every sentences I'm about to write (or type).

I spent little time of my life driving. I got driving license, but the car is what I lacked. Mostly what I see is that driving is for the spoiled or rich fellas. They need to have roof over their head eventhough it's outside and pure air-con is the only way to make them feel alive. Haih, for me I will only drive if my dad rembat my motobike when I'm asleep or raining.

No, this post is not about why I hate driving. It's the road that makes me wanna express my feelings. I live in KL for 3 months and only God knows how pissed I am for the awful road condition there. I lived in Sentul area and it was like lots of asteroid landed of the roads. Going through that road everyday made me thinking about Armageddon, Deep Impact etc. It's mostly jammed everywhere and everytime plus with the patchy road conditions it's like icing on the cake. On the opposite side that is. Dooms day probably come early. When I returned home to Penang, it's still happening. It's everywhere.

Car users probably don't feel the deep and nasty holes too much, since four-wheeled absorb impact better than two-wheeled vehicle. Argh, I can declare that this country have the most terrible road condition ever. When the road will appear like they just been dropped from heaven? Election day.

Yes, that time politicians will appear out of nowhere and talking like they are gods. I'm good, the best, people first and all those bullshit keeps on coming. Well during this time they don't just talk, but walk the walk. Roads are all modified and we can finally see development. But after that, people have to wait 5 years until the next repair. How hypocrite.

My frens, you guys mostly have the most experience when applying for student loans. You need authentication for all your certificates etc and you have been turned down. How suck was that? My dad had been there. He came home in anger and furiously cursing that particular guy. Haha, and I heard most stories from you guys too. The conclusion, this is Malaysia. Hypocrites and money make this country go round.

I can't wait for election day. No that I'm gonna vote, it's just when I laugh to the politicians when they talking like crazy, the development finally moving and I can ignored the news on TV. Who rule the nation? What's the difference? They are all the same. Blabbering idiots with cash signs written on their forehead.

It's cold....

Today,
I feel the rain,
It's cold,
As ice,
Is my life cold as rain?

Today,
I feel the anger,
It's hot,
As fire,
Is my passion hot as fire?

Today,
I feel the frustration,
It's dark,
As Twilight: New Moon novel,
Is my path dark as New Moon novel?

Erm...wait til the movie is out! Haha!!

Aku tak bermaksud macam tu...

Aduh! Kekadang kenapa bila kita tak bermaksud nak sakitkan hati orang lain tapi tetap terjadi jugak? Boleh ke kita berfikir lepas tu bercakap? Bagi aku susah sangat nak wat camtu. Aku selalu cakap lepas dan pastu mesti ada yang terasa. Kalu korang kenal aku dah lama mesti korang tau memang aku camtu. Aku tak bermaksud nak sakiti sesapa. Perkataan aku takda makna terselindung. Tapi tetap terjadi. Macam tadi...

Tadi kat front office adela dorang abang ngan akak ni tengah guna PC. Akak ni tak reti sangat pasal I.T ni jadi aku pun ajar la skit-skit. So along the way aku pun pesan la:

Korang bila guna pendrive tolong scan dulu ye...

Akak ni mengaku tak tau tapi abang tu mengaku tau. Jadi aku suruh la dia tunjuk kat aku. Bila aku suruh camtu muka dia trus ubah sambil tunjuk cemana nak scan pendrive. Daripada riak muka dia aku dah tau dia macam bengang sebab aku suruh tunjuk kat aku cemana nak scan pendrive. Kiranya macam aku ni tak percaya la dia tau scan. Sensitif. Korang tau kan ape aku try nak cakap kat sini.

Manusia ni senang nak baca. Daripada riak muka dah tau apa orang tu rasa. Jadi masa balik tadi aku dah rasa bersalah. Aku cuma nak uji sama ada abang tu betul tau ke tak sebab menda ni serius. Kalu pendrive main cucuk pastu kena virus aku jugak kena clean. Bertambah la keja. Bukannya aku pandang rendah kat abang tu. Tu je maksud aku. Tapi abang tu dah amik serius. Hadui, susah la nak jaga hati orang ni. Kalu tak bercakap, dicop sombong. Kalu cakap banyak terkeluar skit ayat sat lagi ada yang terasa.

Cemana ni? Aku nak wat kawan, bukan nak wat lawan. Aku tak mau la pening-pening kepala bila dah keja ni. Ni masalah bole elak. Tapi cemana? Aku rasa aku dah buat ramai orang terasa. Cuma diorang tak cakap ja. Tapi aku tau.

Cuma masa ja bole menentukan. Tapi aku cuba la untuk kurangkan bercakap. Macam omputih cakap:

If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all

Yea, camtula...

Mana la aku tau...ko tau ke?

Sekarang ni baru aku tau yang keja I.T department ni takla sebagus yang aku sangka. Boleh kata sume orang kat tempat keja aku ni expect yang kami daripada I.T department ni tau segalanya tentang PC ataupun mesin fotostat. Macam tempat kerja baru aku ni, memang la aku baru mula keja jadi macam-macam menda yang aku kena blaja. Tapi manusia ni memang pentingkan diri sendiri, selalu tunjuk jari ja kat orang lain. Aku ni budak I.T jadi kalu apa-apa je berkaitan PC atau teknologi mesti diorang jangka yang aku ni bole selesaikan masalah diorang. Tak adil...

Semalam bila projektor tak boleh nak detect signal daripada laptop, aku pulak yang kene bambu. Apek bodoh yang datang bagi training kat F&B department cakap camni yang bikin aku panas...

Your I.T department guy should know this la...

Hotak kau!! Korang bayangkan masa aku tengah godek projektor sial tu apek tu asyik ulang ayat yang sama. Nape ko tak diam je and let me do my work??! Korang tengok la, kalu ikutkan ye betul aku I.T guy but bukanlah aku tau sume. Aku perlukan masa untuk sort something out. Sabar le kejap. Ni dah la tak sabar, dok bising-bising pulak. Budak I.T tak semestinya tau sume pasal tech ni. Cube korang tanye budak I.T kalu jumpe sekor dua (atau tanya diri sendiri, you know who you are) try test tanya apa beza VGA ngan XGA resolution. Ala, aku tau dah...ramai tak tau...

Sebab tu aku pelik bila keja kat tempat camni. Sume orang macam bodo giler sampai tak reti nak godek sendiri atau bagi masa untuk aku selesaikan sesuatu masalah. Ni tak abis-abis bising pastu tak sabar. Ni lagi satu test untuk tengok korang faham tak situasi aku.

Kita sume rakyat Malaysia kan? Then jawab soklan-soklan ni tanpa menggunakan bantuan (including Google):

a) Bape panjang jambatan Pulau Pinang?
b) Ape permintaan Puteri Gunung Ledang bila Sultan Mahmud gatai nak kawen ngan dia?
c) KOMTAR kat Penang adalah bangunan ke brapa tertinggi di donia nih??

Kalu korang tak dapat jawab satu pun korang tak boleh digelar rakyat Malaysia. Yela kan, takkan kita rakyat tak tau pasal negara sendiri kan? Haa, masa ni la baru korang tau yang walaupun kita ni Malaysian tak semestinya kita tau segalanya pasal Malaysia ni. Jadi sama la ngan situasi aku, cuma manusia ni tak sedar menda ni. Bodoh btol...

Buat masa ni aku just tahan jela dengan kebodohan manusia nih. Biarkan mereka dengan kebodohan mereka. Tunggu masa ja aku nak educate diorang ni...
