Me blogging! that's really realy unexpectedlyunbelievable... totally the final irony of life... it's like licking my own saliva... My own cynical self always says those who involve in blogging have nothing better to do, than needing an outlets to channellise their frustation in life... actually..that's me....and now, I'm one of you guys ...
ok.. enough those self-deprecating... (people who self-deprecate themselve - just wanna feel better, n want other people to praise them... a fucking cunning loser...hikkk...see...I'm deprecating myself again!!!)
Actually all this blogging nonsense started because of my love for MOVIES!!! ..and Yasmin Ahmad... yes Yasmin you are the culprit!
Last night after watching the ultra amazing "The King of Comedy" from the super duper director Martin Scosese, I almost went bonkers because i need someone to talk to... and share with me about the greatness of the movie .. this is not the first time i'm feeling like this... everytime after finished watching a brilliant movie (like One flew over the coockoo's nest, Vera Drake or Akiro Kurosawa's Run), i just couldn't help myself but wanting to quit my job the next day and become a director... and i just couldn't sleep the whole night... keep tossing and turning on my bed... hoping that Meryl Streep and Robert De Niro appear in front of me so i could direct them there and then.
and After watching The King of Comedy.. as well said before I just couldn't sleep... suddenly the name Yasmin Ahmad poped up from my head... i remembered going to her workshop 2 months ago on "understanding cinema" at Top Hat restaurant... and also remembered she said about how she loves movies and how she could talk about it again and again...
so I get off from my bed ... switched on my laptop.... getting through the interenet (the painfully slow 1515) and googled her name .. and it turns out that she has a website...and it is a blog!.. Yasminthestoryteller... Yasmin Ahmad.. and a Blog!!!... that sounds so lame!!!
But after going through the whole site (or should i say blog)...what a blessing experience!!... It's all about movie... her most recent post is about voting the greatest love story of all... On the lists are "Annie Hall", "Talk To Her", "The Apartment", "As good as it gets" to name a few... imagine how could you make a choice with all those masterpiece in one list!!!...
but in the end, i voted for the sweeping epic "The English Patient" ... the ultra slow yet ludicrously absorbing and depressing film ... a bona fide love story... sensual and deeply moving, which ended in tragedy.
On that moment i knew that i've to open my own blog... and start my nonsense rambling about movies and music... cause that's probably the only things that'll make me sleep well at night.. writing about things that've become part of my life for so long..
I still couldn't sleep for the whole night...i got so excited about all this blog thingy... i went straight to work the next morning... went out for my assingnment and totally fucked up on my story... My boss screamed at me like there's no tommorrow .... in front of other people .... and asked me to stay home if i don't want to do my job seriously ...
Maybe he is not that angry at my lousy reporting... only felt disgusted at my Zombie look alike face... with my eye bag so black.. It's look like I'm wearing a mascara ...
My colleagues are so confused that I'm still able to smile and put my "toyo" face ...after getting the humiliation trophy of the month ... (they didn't know how i really wanted to throw a stack of VCD Gila-gila pengantin and Senario the Movie at my boss's face).
Anyway, no worries...there's more to live than just work... My DVD collections that i haven't seen yet, this month PREMIERE magazine which i haven't got a chance to read at all.... and my newly created blog ... finalironyoflife@blogger.com.... what a loser :)
