Filem-filem P. Ramlee - Satu Kritikan

2011-09-16T10:20:00.000-07:00

Bagi sesetengah orang, filem sekadar hiburan. Tapi saya pernah dengar 'filem kita wajah kita'
Our movies our faces.
P. Ramlee,seniman agung. Akira Kurosawa Tanah Melayu.
Saya percaya filem ada kesan terhadap masyarakat.
Or people nowadays suka use term 'rakyat'. Whateva.
Like what Hantu Kak Limah has done. I'd keep dat for later post.
P.Ramlee's films, imo, do reflect how rakyat of Tanah Melayu think. Or thought.
3 of his films yang first crossed my mind-
Do Re Mi (trilogy-Laxmana Do Re Mi, Nasib Do Re Mi, Do Re Mi)
Labu Labi (duology-Labu Labi, Nasib Si Labu Labi)
Ali Baba Bujang Lapok (seriously? so obvious he has a wife!)

Mungkin ayat yang lebih tepat : refleksi pemikiran Melayu di Tanah Melayu

#Laxmana Do Re Mi
Sebelum nak menolong Puteri Bunian yang terkena panah, ditanya dulu
"kalau kami tolong dapat apa?"
Lepas dapat harmonika, kalau nak sesuatu, tiup harmonika boleh dapat.
Nak makan, nak ubat, apa pun ok.
You see where I'm going?

#Labu Labi
Mimpi pertama jadi kaya, mimpi kedua jadi tarzan.
Mimpi ketiga jadi cowboy, mimpi keempat jumpa harta-jadi kaya.
Jumpa pendeta minta batu hikmat, masalah selesai.
Semua sekadar mimpi. Creative tho.

#Ali Baba Bujang Lapok
Habis gandum pinjam orang.
Jumpa harta jadi kaya (again)

Please don't get me wrong.
(but that's your right ofcos, don't worry maa no ISA anymore)
I love his works, they're (most of them) brilliant.
I laugh every time I watch above films and a lot others, eventho I swear to myself every time to hold my laugh.
But my point here has nothing to do with the awesomeness.

Let's look for some more eh?
#Ahmad Albab
"ini harta bukan kau yang punya...Ahmad Albab yang punya!"

#Ibu Mertuaku
"siapa dia Kassim Selamat? Lawyer? Magistrate?"

Again, this is about (I think) how our old folks' way of thinking.
I hope I'm wrong.

Juvana vs Kokuhaku

2011-08-23T22:34:00.000-07:00

Jadi terus terang saya katakan biarlah hukumannya setimpal dengan jenayah yang dilakukan oleh pesalah lagi-lagi pesalah juvana.
Kerana mereka tiada bimbingan dan tersilap jalan.
Pesalah juvana pun ada masa depan.Budak-budak lagi.Takkan nak hukum macam orang dewasa kot.

What is it that protects you? Your parents? Weapons? No,your strongest ally is...
juvenile law.

Under article 41 of the penal code,those under 14 years of age are not liable for their crimes. And cannot be punished for them. Isn't that lovely?
Even if you kill someone, you're not going to be punished for it. And there's no way for us to stop these crimes...for us to stop child murderers. If you feel like it, you could kill someone with a baseball bat or a nice long kitchen knife or even with your bare hands. And there'd be nobody to stop u.

Sebab utama orang Jepun yang tidak dikenali menegur,berbual dengan pendatang asing secara tiba-tiba.

2.Mabuk

BM : ...Majlis Perundangan Persekutuan telah memberi peluang kepada orang ramai untuk memberikan pendapat kepada ketiga-tiga rekabentuk tersebut. Keputusan pendapat umum yang dikelolakan oleh akhbar The Malay Mail itu telah disiarkan pada 29 November 1949. Keputusan akhir menunjukkan majoriti telah memilih rekabentuk ciptaan seorang arkitek kerajaan di Johor iaitu En. Mohamad bin Hamzah...

BI : ...The Malayan flag was designed by Mohamed Hamzah, a 29-year-old architect working for the Public Works Department (JKR) in Johor Bahru, Johor. He entered the Malayan flag design competition in 1947 with two designs which he completed within two weeks. The first design was a green flag with blue kris in the middle, surrounded by 15 white stars. The second design, which was among the three finalists, was similar to the current flag but with a five-pointed star. It borrows major design elements from the East India Company flag, notably the red and white stripes.

Sensei no Hi

2011-05-18T17:22:00.000-07:00

(This is not a mocking video)

Sensei no Hi (先生の日) literally means Teachers' Day. But wait, it doesn't exist in Japan.

When asking a few Japanese friends (they're good people, believe me) on why they don't have Teachers' Day, they asked me back, "is it necessary?". Then one added "aren't they're just nuisance?"

I am not a product of Japan's high school system so I'm not sure if such drama in Gokusen are the reality there. In my humble opinion, Kokuhaku mirrors better.

I recall when The Ambassador of Japan to Malaysia, Masahiko Horie once said that "Japanese could learn a lot from a multi-racial, cultural and religious society like Malaysia".(The Star)

I hope and believe that we (read Malaysia) still celebrate the day full of appreciation, you know, rasa terhutang budi towards our teachers. One day off for them to show off what they've got - from badminton to coconut bowling to congkak matches between students and teachers - isn't that wonderful? How I miss those time.

Needless to say, a beautifully wrapped gift or a bouquet of roses will make them smile; but respect, discipline, good results et cetera will do better. That's for sure.

Bottom line - Happy Teachers' Day to all teachers. Dari tadika sampai ke universiti. Keep up the-hard-work, God bless.

Is a secretary's work harder than a teacher? 'Cause they go celebrate Secretaries Week at hotels. RM500 per head, I heard.

Hikayat Puteri Santubong

2011-04-15T00:04:00.000-07:00

MIRI, 7 Ogos – Menteri Pembangunan Luar Bandar dan Wilayah, Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal, berkata sehingga kini kira-kira 59% penduduk Sarawak mendapat manfaat daripada projek Bekalan Air Luar Bandar.

Beliau berkata, di bawah program itu, kerajaan memperuntukkan RM212.18 juta untuk melaksanakan 101 projek membekalkan air bersih bagi 14,000 rumah di negeri itu.

“Bagi projek bekalan air luar bandar di bawah Bidang Keberhasilan Utama Negara (NKRA), kerajaan telah mensasarkan sebanyak 90% penduduk luar bandar di negeri ini akan menikmati bekalan air bersih pada akhir tahun 2012,” katanya berucap merasmikan projek itu di Kampung Tiris, Bekenu, kira-kira 60 kilometer dari sini, hari ini.

Jepun Bersedia Tapi

2011-04-05T17:04:00.000-07:00

1.Pintu rumah di Jepun dibuat menghala ke luar.(pintu di Malaysia menghala ke dalam)
Tujuannya supaya mudah keluar jika berlaku bencana.

2.Orang Jepun lepas tanggal kasut nak masuk rumah, akan susun kasut menghala ke luar.
Tujuan sama seperti di atas.

3.Kebanyakan rumah ada peti kecemasan bencana. Makanan dalam tin, air, lampin bayi dan lain-lain. Disimpan dekat dengan pintu.

4.Bangunan dan rumah direka agar tahan bencana terutamanya gempa. 'Base' bangunan ada pelapik yang diperbuat daripada getah untuk serap gegaran.

5,6,7,....,senarai ini panjang.

Mengenali orang Jepun, mereka adalah satu bangsa yang sangat-sentiasa-bersedia untuk apa sekalipun. 'Particular' dalam hal yang sekecil-kecil sampai yang sebesar-besar.
Buktinya, 'aftermath' di Jepun sangat berbeza dengan 'aftermath' Acheh, Louisiana, Turki dan tempat-tempat lain. Keadaan menjadi teratur dan sistematik dengan cepat.

...pun begitu, kita hanya manusia. Kalau Allah nak, apa pun jadi.

Earth Hour and TNB

2011-03-27T03:34:00.000-07:00

So they switched off the lights. So they made huge contribution to the future.
For one hour, you see. Or I'd say, 1/8760 hours we have in one year. That's plenty.

Well, they use the standard '60+' logo, which represents 60 minutes or more. Not '1+'.

As a Malaysian, I'm proud because we contribute for this campaign not just once a year but far beyond that. Ask those who live in rural areas. Kampong-kampong and ulu-ulu. Places where an asphalted road means everything to people there.

Sometimes suddenly their homes become dark,fans stop moving, and that's normal for some. Few even live without electricity. Live with candles and perigi water, if I may add on that. And they're raising our next generation. And they are Bersamamu stars.

But again, they support earth hour.

Hikayat Tujuh Naga

2010-10-29T02:21:00.000-07:00

Out of the blue Hiyashi Sensei asked the class, ”Do you know what is the second easiest language to learn?”
“The easiest is the language you find past the border” she added.
(to my understanding, Korean is the easiest for Japanese, Bahasa Indonesia for Malaysian, and likewise)
Then she looked at me, “It’s Malay”
At first it was like 12V. On second thought, I couldn’t agree more. That’s quite a fact. Her source was irrelevant.

Can an American/ a Brit accept this as a sentence: “Where you wants go?” ?
(in fact I doubt they understand me).Compared to these:
“Nak pegi mana?” ; “Mana mau pegi?” ; “Mana pegi?” ; they are all pretty much accepted. Yes other languages have their colloquialisms too but we got just too much.

The ironies:
Students struggle to pass Bahasa Melayu in SPM.
We still need translators when we do ‘banci’
No one speaks the real Bahasa Melayu (baku).
Sometimes 8TV forget to put sarikata when airing drama from HK/Taiwan.
The list goes on.
Not to mention confusion on “it’s Bahasa Melayu” “no, it’s Bahasa Kebangsaan” “you two are wrong.in spirit of 1Malaysia we should name it Bahasa Malaysia” thingy.

Lagi Melayu

2010-04-30T16:56:00.001-07:00

Kadang kala tidak boleh salah bukan Melayu juga. Cuba renung balik apa yang kita buat selama ini. Kita sebenarnya jarang bertegas. Kita asyik melayan, mementingkan kuasa dan menjaga jawatan. Kita takut kehilangan kedua-duanya ini, maka kita terus memberi muka.

Misalnya, pada hari Selasa lalu saya menghadiri Perbincangan Meja Bulat Memartabatkan Bahasa Melayu 2010 anjuran Kementerian Pelajaran. Sebelum ini saya telah menghadiri berpuluh-puluh seminar dan wacana untuk mendaulatkan bahasa Melayu. Saya berasa teramat pelik kenapa perbincangan ini perlu dibuat dalam sebuah negara Melayu, pemimpinnya Melayu, rajanya Melayu, bahasa kebangsaannya Melayu dan berbagai lagi Melayu didominasi oleh Melayu.

Sepatutnya ia sudah terdaulat, terdarjat atau terangkat secara automatik di buminya sendiri, bukan bumi asing. Namun, tidak sedemikian yang berlaku. Orang Melayu dan bahasa Melayu seolah-olah merempat di bumi sendiri.

Sejarah Mungkin Berulang

"Celakalah kepada sesiapa yang melupakan sejarah dan mengulangi kesilapan yang pernah dilakukan dalam lipatan sejarah" - George Santayana

Salin tampal dari sesawang Wikipedia :

Sebab
...Perjanjian ini berputik daripada kemangkatan Sultan Ali pada tahun 1871. Raja Abdullah, sebagai Raja Muda, sepatutnya dilantik sebagai sultan baru akan tetapi disebabkan baginda tidak menghadiri upacara pengkebumian, Raja Bendahara Raja Ismail telah dilantik...
...Perasaan tidak puas hati mendorong Raja Abdullah meminta bantuan Inggeris...
...Pada masa yang sama, berlaku permusuhan dua kongsi gelap Cina, Ghee Hin yang dipimpin oleh Chin Ah Yam dan Hai San yang dipimpin oleh Chung Keng Quee untuk merebut lombong bijih timah...
...Raja Abdullah meminta pertolongan Inggeris untuk menyelesaikan dua masalah tersebut...
...Raja Abdullah meminta pertolongan rakannya di Singapura, Tan Kim Ching. Tan bersama seorang pedagang Inggeris di Singapura merangka surat kepada Gabenor Sir Andrew Clarke yang ditandatangani oleh Abdullah. Dalam surat tersebut, Abdullah menyatakan hasrat untuk meletakkan Perak di bawah naungan Inggeris...

Syarat
...Raja Muda Ibrahim diangkat menjadi Sultan Perak, Bendahara Ismail bekas Sultan itu dibenarkan memakai gelaran Sultan Muda; Sultan Perak hendaklah menyediakan tempat Residen itu, nasihat Residen British hendaklah diikuti kecuali pada perkara-perkara yang mengenai agama dan adat orang-orang Melayu; fasal menjaga dan memungut segala cukai dan hasil negeri, demikian pula aturan pemerintahan Am hendaklah ditetapkan dengan nasihat Residen British...

ووري في مدافن البقيع بالمدينة المنورة جثمان شيخ الأزهر محمد سيد طنطاوي الذي توفي الأربعاء بالعاصمة السعودية الرياض عن 81 عاما إثر أزمة قلبية مفاجئة ألمت به بينما كان يستعد للعودة إلى مصر.

وكان طنطاوي في زيارة إلى السعودية للمشاركة في حفل توزيع جوائز الملك فيصل العالمية، وعندما دهمته الأزمة نقل إلى مستشفى الأمير سلطان في الرياض حيث أعلن الأطباء وفاته.

وكانت أسرة الراحل قد غادرت القاهرة للمشاركة في تشييعه، في حين قامت السفارة السعودية في القاهرة بتكليف مسؤول المراسم بها لتوديع الأسرة وتسهيل إجراءات دخولهم إلى السعودية.

Krismas di Jepun

Selamat Hari Krismas

--------------------------------------------------------------
Kebanyakan orang Jepun, tanpa mengira kepercayaan akan:

25 Disember : Meraikan Krismas
31 Disember : Pergi ke temple
1 Januari : Pergi ke shrine

Pada pemerhatian saya (bukan fakta, tapi mungkin) Krismas paling diraikan.
Menakjubkan jika diambil kira populasi penganut Kristian di Jepun kurang dari 1%.

Dikatakan seseorang Jepun itu akan:

Semasa baru lahir : Dibawa ke shrine
Semasa kahwin : Pergi ke gereja
Selepas mati : Upacara oleh pihak temple

Menarik.

There are several other series from the same police/crime genus. NCIS (147 episodes), Criminal Minds (100 episodes), Bones (93 episodes), The Mentalist dan lain-lain.

And still sometimes we watch news on TV about stupid villains get captured by police. Come on.
Learn something from Horatio & gangs.

Choosing a proper title is quite a task.
Personally I feel that it's unfair to squeeze all burden of an article (/report/thesis/essay etc) worth hundreds or thousands of words into mere few words.

Yet there are times when reading news headlines is just good enough.

No wonder there are numbers of examples when the author/writer etc couldn't be decisive, they ended up choosing 'Untitled'.

Our Shoes

I don't know how many cars he did steal, but if your car's missing, Bauer might be the one who broke the window, matching wires under your dashboard.

No grumbling. He'll do whatever it takes for his fellow Americans' sake. And the President's.

It's true that those kitchen-appliances-turned-transformers (plus Bumblebee) destroyed Witwicky's adorable yard, but don't forget the old citizen house in Shanghai. He deserves compensation from Sideways.

Not to mention beautifully blown up Gotham General Hospital, numerous accidents at traffic lights caused by car chasing, bla bla... the list goes on.

Protagonists and antagonists, they're just the same.

Jalan-jalan di pekan Tg. Malim, pekan terdekat dari
Kg. Soeharto (~35km)

Ternampak t-shirt yang menarik. Tercetak ayat
'SAYA SAYANG MAK SAYA' dengan tulisan besar.

Dr. Fadzilah dalam kajiannya mengatakan orang yang
lahir bulan Jun kurang mempamerkan perasaan.

Ketika itu saya sedang menemani emak saya untuk
membeli barangan persiapan menyambut Aidilfitri.

Orang putih kata 'acts speak louder than words'

Tapi kadangkala kita perlu meluahkan dan menzahirkan.
Takut terlambat.

(Rakan saya kata tak guna post mengenai tajuk ini)

Kalendar berganti.Walaupun mungkin ramai yang
lebih ingat `konsep 1Malaysia` berbanding
`Wawasan 2020` namun sekarang ini Maghrib.

Nampaknya larian kita perlahan ke ufuk.
Kelajuan cuma 1Mbps.

Nama `Streamyx` kedengaran gempak.Dan hebat.

(Hobi baru di Malaysia : mengklik ikon `refresh`)

Bayangkan jika hanya Maxis sebagai pengendali
mudah alih tunggal di negara ini.
Kesannya akan sama seperti Streamyx kebanggaan kita ini.

Aidilfitri ada Dendang Perantau,
Satu Hari di Hari Raya,
Seloka Hari Raya,

Selamat hari Raya,

Tertunggu-tunggu iklan raya Petronas.
Harapnya lebih mengharukan berbanding murai.
Barulah boleh menangis.
TM pun apa kurangnya.TV3 tak mahu mengalah.

Hari ini 10 Ramadan.
Pagi tadi di tv ada iklan sebuah syarikat kosmetik
mengucapkan Selamat Hari Raya.
~Mendahului masa.

10 Syaban dahulu mungkin mereka ada mengucapkan
Selamat Menyambut Ramadan al-Mubarak.
10 Ogos dahulu mungkin mereka ada mengucapkan
Selamat Menyambut Hari Kemerdekaan.

Ada ruangan
`Waktu Berbuka Puasa dan Imsak Mengikut Negeri`.
Bagusnya.
Maklumatnya sangat lengkap.
Kedah ada 5 zon.Selangor 2 sahaja.

Selama ini azan maghrib pukul berapa agaknya?

1Malaysia #1

2009-08-31T02:59:00.000-07:00

Ramadan membuatkan kita dekat pada agama.
Kita mula suka menunggu azan (Maghrib).
Kemudian mesti berbuka puasa secepat mungkin.
Tak elok lambat-lambat.
Makan kurma.Wasem dari Yusuf Taiyoob.
Wah buat perkara sunat lagi.Bertambah pahala.
Lepas itu qada` sarapan,makan tengah hari,minum petang
-sekaligus.
Banyaklah tenaga untuk solat terawih.

Dengar azan Isya` terus ke masjid.
Tiba-tiba imam solat dengan 4 rakaat.
Eh,terawih bukan 2 rakaat ke?

Let's do some demonstrations.

Government's decision (teaching Math and Science in mother tongue)
for vernacular schools is a crystal clear abs#rd. We must protect our
beloved Bahasa Melayu
(aka Bahasa Kebangsaan aka Bahasa Malaysia [hey, which one?])
till the last drop of our blood.

Sogo, Pasar Seni, Masjid Jamek, name it. You choose.

Lead the way, Pejuang-pejuang Bahasa.

Tanabata

2009-07-26T11:13:00.001-07:00

Derived from the Chinese star festival, Tanabata (七夕 - Evening of the Seventh) is held in Japan on July 7th every year.

Starting a few days before Tanabata, people write their wishes on pieces of paper and hang them on decorated bamboo, which we can find almost everywhere - schools, universities, streets etc.

Are bamboos really have enough space for our wishes? I wonder.

By the way, I don't know if today's decoration war during Tanabata is OK. Obviously I'm not a Japanese.

Happy Birthday

2009-06-18T16:29:00.000-07:00

"egg to zygote
embryo to fetus
till the day came

trimesters you hold on
the pain I'd caused you
if only I could take it back"

Birthday is not entirely about us.

"This is the reason mothers are more
devoted to their children than fathers :
it is that they suffer more in giving them birth
and more certain that they are their own"
-Aristotle

Terima kasih,mak.

Tangan ini adalah untuk menangani.

Kita ini terlebih santan.

Tak hendak seribu dalih.
Tak hendak seribu dalih.

For Elise

2009-05-04T19:56:00.000-07:00

The music box plays the same bagatelle.
For a moment, my eyes dance with the ballerina.

*Please visit
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3o5baA0Z9g4

Für Elise by Beethoven.
The box's cylinder revolves Elise live.
The persona of Sonnet 18 might had the same idea.
He or she preserved his or her beloved's life through words.

"So long as men can breath or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee."

We, human, peep through the curtains of life,
looking for certain eternity.

Notes:
>Bagatelle - a short piece of music
>Für Elise - a piece of music for solo piano by Beethoven
>Ludwig van Beethoven - a German composer and pianist
>Sonnet 18 - a sonnet written by William Shakespeare

Make a Wish

2009-04-29T04:38:00.000-07:00

I want to make a wish. Well, honestly, a lot of.
But cumulonimbus blocks my eyes.
Shooting star. I can't find any.

And there is no wishing fountain nearby.
Maybe these coins' destiny is that vending machine.

Plus, today's not my birthday. That means
no birthday cake's candle to blow.

In many fairy tales, they say
"be careful what you wish for" etc.
Personally, I think we should
be careful who we ask to grant our wishes.

There's only one Who grants wishes.

Dark, Dawn

2009-04-22T09:58:00.000-07:00

The Great Hanshin Earthquake (as known as Kobe Earthquake)
struck the southern part of Hyogo Prefecture, Japan
on January 17, 1995.
Casualty estimates range from about 6000 to 7000 deaths.

It is listed in The Guinness Book of Record as the "costliest natural
disaster to befall any one country."

The fact that many Japanese volunteers ran to help victims was, so to say,
an epoch-making thing on the history of volunteerism in Japan.
Even the Yamaguchi-gumi yakuza syndicate was involved in
distributing food and supplies to needy victims.
The year 1995 is sometimes called "The Beginning Year of Volunteerism."

The night is dark just before the dawn.
It teaches me to appreciate light.

Giving Up

2009-04-15T03:07:00.000-07:00

"Most people give up just when the're about to achieve success.
They quit one the one yard line. They give up at the last minute
of the game, one foot from a winning touchdown"
-H. Ross Perot

...perseverance vs Ego.

Human, like animals, need to give up. Sometime-
Many won't agree with this.

I don't think there is any person who is willing to try pulling
Excalibur, with so-called power of will and persistence flowing
inside his blood vessels, until his last breath.

The sakura tree (see Introduction) gived up its flowers after
a mere less-than-seven-days full bloom.
Now I can see refreshing green leaves.

Giving up is not a full stop. It is about finding another options.
Another choices.

Notes:
>H. Ross Perot - an American businessman from Texas, who is
best known for seeking the office President of the United States
in 1992 and 1996.

>Excalibur - the lagendary sword of King Arthur

とても大切な母にささげる

2009-04-08T12:14:00.000-07:00

近くにいると苛立つくせに　遠くにいると寂しく感じ
あなたはそんな存在　どんな問題も身を削って解決する
そして　僕の知ってる誰よりも　1番我慢強くタフです
いつも真っ先に気にする　自分じゃなく僕の体で

炊事洗濯　掃除に育児　余った時間さらに仕事し
1番低い場所にあるものしか　求めなかったの　あなたよ
当たり前すぎわからなかった　1人で暮らし初めてわかった
あなたの凄さ　大変さ　それを思えば　今日も僕頑張れるさ

子供に先立たれる程　辛い事なんて　この世にないのだから
たった1秒でも　あなたより長く生きること　これだけは守る
これだけは

あなたの子供でよかった　あなたが僕の母でよかった
いつまでも変わらない　ずっとずっと変わらない
僕はあなたの生き写しだから

ずっと僕の母でいて　ずっと元気でいて
あなたにはまだ仕事があるから　僕の親孝行受け取る仕事が

Sakura

2009-03-15T04:54:00.001-07:00

"When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That's relativity" - Albert Einstein

Sakura is the Japanese name for cherry trees, and their blossoms.

The blossoming typically reaches Tokyo at the end of March or the beginning of April.

Every year the Japanese Metereological Agency and the public track the sakura zensen (cherry-blossom front) as it creeps northward up the archipelago with the approach of warmer weather via nightly forecast.

Merely a few days after their full bloom, we could find their petals lying under our shoes, grieving over themselves.

An enduring metaphor for the ephemeral nature of life.
The extreme beauty and quick death.

Out, out, brief candle!

Vital Sign

Spinocerebellar atrophy fiercely grasps Aya Kito's body

Her dogged determination.

Needless to say, obstacle happens.

She notes in one entry in her book 1 Litre of Tears,
"I write because writing is evidence that I'm still alive"

Notes:

disorders characterized by slowly progressive
incoordination of gait and often associated with poor
coordination of hands, speech, and eye movements.

Identity

2009-03-12T16:45:00.000-07:00

Books on murderers by David Rossi were misused by a psychopathic copycat.He recreated the techniques, killing innocent people.

Pendulum swings.He tried another, made another.Experimented.

Then he found his own killing signature. He met his very own identity.

I'm not touching on what we can learn from The Bourne Identity.
We have our IDs. Real ones.

'You have your identity when you find out, not what you can keep your mind on but what you can't keep your mind off'
- Archie Randolph Ammons

Apparently wise words don't help much.
Pendulum sways me searching my own.

Notes:
>David Rossi - a character in Criminal Minds (an American drama series by CBS)
>The Bourne Identity (2002) - a film adaptation of a novel by Robert Ludlum
>Archie Randolph Ammons - an award-winning major American poet

Preface

2009-03-12T16:32:00.000-07:00

To start off is the toughest part,though.
Underneath this skeleton, twining nerve circuits are entangled.
I guess too many bulbs in a single head can cause burning.

The sun and the moon are still riding on their see-saw board.
I wonder if they aware that the cherry tree next to my room
has started sprinkling its fragile buds.
A young spring.

Then some say 'this is not my best'.

Some sing 'This Is My Now'
