it's not something i can explain well, but so far, this year has been a really eventful year.
there's just something different about it.
so, so many things have happened that makes 2009 a special year.
like,
Obama becoming the first president of the United States.
Michael Jackson's death, which was such a big thing; if you did not know, you are either
living in a cave or living in a jungle. basically, living far, far away from civilization.
my brother getting NS, something that i told him he would get since the programme was first introduced and yeah. he got it.
having a change of wind between my group of friends. acceptable, things don't remain as it is forever. situations change, people change.
as long as we still accept each other as friends, nothing is wrong.
life is actually simple. it's us who complicate it.
being with EngHuat. a very wonderfully awesome person i'm so grateful for and absolutely adore.
completing my first year of uni, which came faster than expected. which is good, cause it means that the third year will come as soon? please let that be true.
but that would mean having to.....find a job.
moving on with the process of life never sounds easy. but heck, if it was easy, everyone would be able to do it.
but still, it is inevitable. so why not suck it up and rock it the best you can?
then there is the death of a person i truly respect.
yasmin ahmad.
if you don't know her, she directed a handful of good malaysian movies.
now how often is it that you hear the word good and malaysian movies in the same sentence?
well, the woman had an absolute flair for simple films that manages to touch the core of the heart.
and it's such a shame for her untimely death, cause she was in the process of completing 2 more movies. 1 of which, she had been keen on for a long time. a real good one, partnered with a japanese company as well.
so. here's what i'm basically getting to.
she passed away at a young age.
there's that malay saying, 'malang tidak berbau.'
life could be long, life could be short.
you could be alive and sitting in the mamak eating roti canai today, you could be in a coffin tomorrow.
it's just so damn...unpredictable.
we've only got 1 life.
is it gonna be a short one? or a long one?
how about making it a good one?
well, yasmin ahmad died but she had accomplished so much in her life and also for the malaysian film industry, regardless if it's recognized or not.
hopefully, i could be the same.
heck. we all could be the same.
go with a Bang!
get it?
