bisul oh bisul

Today, one of my friends got bisul (boil) on his right leg… (bahagian betis)..I guessed it's gonna be extremely pain, cause I've experienced it couple times when I was young. It grows at my buttock and my leg and also area my tight (peha). Nak jalan pon sikse woo…This bisul can grow in beneath the skins or tonsils and place where you regularly sweat and where hygiene is not cared enough like your ketiak or even groin (ouch). Actually bisul or you might call it boil are skin disease cause by the infection of liang roma that resulting of accumulation of pus and dead tissues (same category as acne but more painful). The infected area is reddened, and tender, over time this area will become larger, hard and firm lumps. It started when the bacteria (usually Staphylococcus aureus) infect the hair follicles in our skin, then the brain will send signal to the immune system to "attack" the "trespasser". After that, the collections of bacteria, white blood cells with dead cells then known as pus. The lump, which filled with pus, will grow larger and painful until it ruptures and pus will drain out. It smelly though! Not surprisingly, this boil can grow in a multiple lumps and create a huge connection then called carbuncles. Obviously the pain can also be multiple (hoho). Orang tua-tua dahulu kala have come out with many petua or traditional way to cure the boils, like to use kapur sireh (the most prominent one) and daun pokok lada. And when I browse through the internet, there are several other ways like tampal ubi keledek yang telah ditumbuk, apply kulit mempelam (mango skin, perhaps) yang diasah kat pasu. Tampal bawang merah yang di tumbuk some say bawang putih. However, all this method tak semuanye going well because it is not medically tested and the effect not even proven yet (maybe to some minority it does). I suggest just go to clinic, so that docs can suck out all pus, clean it out and they will give you some medicine like anti-biotic or pain killers or perhaps they can do a little surgery to open up the lumps. Tapikan lagi bagus kalau mencegah dari mengubati, take care of your hygiene..!!


bisul kat bahagian kulit

P/s: even sakit pon still gigih lagi ngan silat… kalo kene tendang kat bisul tu kang meraung…however I wish you get well soon…

it's TALENTIME

It’s about TALENTIME, a new movie directed by our very own popular movie and PETRONAS’s advertisements director my beloved kak yasmin ahmad. As always, she did really good job.I’ve been waiting for this movie since I read advertisement at kat yasmin’s blog sometimes ago. I’ll write my own review of the movie maybe next few weeks, since I planed want to catch this movie next weekend (hopefully die sudi kuar). Kat yasmin her own describe this movie “as a story full of joy and pain, hope and despair, a host of beautifully-written songs, and rich, rich characters” (source: Wikipedia).

I’ve read few times ago at her blog that kak yasmin are searching for Indian actor who is suitable to play a main role in this movie. At last one handsome guy named Mahesh Jugal Kishor pop out, out of nowhere and lead the movie to the romantic and emotion touching story. I don’t know who actually he is, whether he is already an actor before this, but obviously kak yasmin did praise him of his work and said that he able to learn to speak a new language in just a week (I mean able to communicate very well in Malay, MAYBE).

There are a few “cliché” characters (I’d say because they constantly appears most of Kak Yasmin’s movies) casting in this film, like Adibah Nor, my favorite child actor Syafie Naswip, and those who no need any introduction, popular singer Jaclyn Victor and also Pamela Chong (the sisters in amazing race Asia season 2) not forget famous comedian Harith Iskandar beside Howard Hon Ka Hoe and others.

When I read synopsis of this film, I just can’t stand with the thought and suddenly the vibe of astonishment engulf my feelings. I always excited watching kak yasmin’s movie since Sepet, Gubra, and Mokhsin (hopefully can watch Muallaf also this coming April or July not sure yet).

Here, maybe I can just briefing a little bit about the synopsis.
Basically this movie concentrates between two communities; a conservative Indian family and Malay-English family when their children are in love each other but afraid to tell their family about their relationship. It all about the talent searching by Cikgu Adibah who best performer herself, and then prolong to love story between Mahesh and mix Malay girl named Melur who played by Pamela. It started when 7 contestant are qualify for the talent time that is Melur with her melodist voice whilst played piano, Ka Hoe with his violin, Hafiz with his guitar beside 4 others. They need to practice every day and Cikgu Adibah has assigned a few others student with motorcycle to fetch the finalist from home to school every day and one of them is Mahesh.From here all the love story evolves between these students. Earlier in their relationship Mahesh has strike with a bad news where his uncle who’s the care-taker of his family is stab to death on his wedding day. Mahesh has a talent with poetry and often quotes a beautiful poem with presence of Melur. Mahesh kept the relationship as secret as knowing that his family will opposed the link between them.

Unfortunately, their relationship was exposed and Mahesh di pukul di depan Melur. On the day of talentime, Melur struggle to read the poem while thinking about Mahesh. The rest of the story you will know when you watch the movie.This movie got a few good feedbacks from movie critics and select for
Hong Kong International Film Festival for the SIGNIS award. Talentime will be premier nationwide on 26th March competing with other movies.

P/s: One thing yang aku suke with kak yasmin works is, she always open her movie with Bismillah.

Zee Avi: new comer for malaysian singer...

I just browse around with YouTube and found a really beautiful voice of Malaysian indie singer who really talented named Zee Avi. After “google”ling for information I just can’t belief how special she is and now she obviously are stepping higher in her carrier as singer in US…under the name of Zee Avi, she began recording her video using webcam and posted on YouTube using kokokaina, she then become popular through internet when her voice are become well-liked and receive thousand of positive feedbacks.

After posting for few years on YouTube, she is lucky enough her talent is realize by UK song-writer Kris Rowley and then commented on her video. The day before her 21st birthday, she posted what she intended to be the last one video called “no Christmas for me” and by the same time she check her email and receive about 3000 massagers including a few label offered.

Her most popular song “no Christmas for me” is feature on Brushfire record for 2008 charity album “This Warm December”. And she is on her way to release album at US. She also performs her first show at Spaceland at US. She was also featured in US’s latest issue of rolling stone magazine “artist to watch” column. Here some quote from the magazine:

“She’s got a voice that sounds like something from the past, but you can’t put your finger on it,” says Jack Johnson of Zee Avi, the Malaysian YouTube discovery he signed to his label.The singer-songwriter flew in from Kuala Lumpur to work with Johnson’s band at its solar-powered studio in L.A. The album has a brunch-friendly acoustic swing vibe: “Just You and Me” features Avion ukulele, “First of the Gang to Die” is a chilled-out Morrissey cover, and on “Kantoi,” she sings in the Malay-English hybrid known as Manglish. “I do that one last when I perform at home,” she says.”It really gets the crowd going.”

You must be thinking why I’m so enthusiastically and eagerly introduce her name to you guys. One thing I just want to pop out from your mind is just how we behave, because I heard she have been “rejected” by a few recording Malaysia company who are looking person just like *tut* to record their album and never given any chances to those who are really talented like those indie singers out there. When other peoples praise on them, baru la kite terhegeh2 nak mengaku she is Malaysia citizen. How sakai is that..??? however sad but true, bagusla die x sign ape2 dokumen with recording company in Malaysia, because for sure she will go no where…Once MTV release her video or song berbondong lah reputz berebut nak cover her story… here just for samples, I post along videos from YouTube.

no christmas for me from zee avi


P/s: I also love Yuna, how she looks and her voices… enjoy the videos from Yuna and Zee Avi.

check out her profile at myspace and her official website

Kepercayaan dan ketelusan..itu yg aku belajar dlm berhubungan…dalam satu2 relationship, teras kejayaan adalah komitment yg diberi sepenuhnye, kepercayaan yg mendalam, berterus teras segala hal..tp apekan daye sumer tu aku ignore, bile mase untuk mewujudkan hubungan aku asyik piker untuk kepala sendiri jek, selalu share the best thing in my life with her, but I never try to share my problems with her..thats the real problem I have..since I hardly trusting people, it’s take a long time for me, before I can trust them and sharing my problem with..itu silapnyer, aku rase aku tidak bersedia untuk menjalani ape2 komitment at that time but perasaan ingin mencintai dan ingin dicintai itu selalu wujud that urge me to, and then I realize that her love is fascinating and heartfelt.. I do love her, really much even lepas aku break up I still miss her, and really regret ape yg aku ckp kat die..tp apekan daye break up adalah jln terbaik untuk die, aku xnak melukakan hati die bile die bersama aku..i kept left her in the dark, never sharing, never telling..sorry syg..now aku sedar that I’ve done something really2 bad and really wrong… menyesal xsudah…if I can turn back the time, I would do everything just to amend for everything I’ve said and done…sorry syg for taking you for granted..but one thing yg aku xkan menyesal sampai bile2 ialah meeting her, loving her, caring for her..That’s something I would never regret, and one of the most right and memorable things I’ve done…i’m almost crazy thinking about her, everyday every night, just her in my eyes…tpkan ape yg berlaku tu ade rahmatnye, die telah membuke mate aku dalam membina hubungan yg kukuh…but I’ve never stop praying that kite akan bersama semula, because you are the perfect match for me, you are my soul and you are my heart..we have the same rhythm of heart beating followed our love song..
“Close your eyes so you dont feel them,
They dont need to see you cry

I cant promise I will heal you,
But if you want to I will try.

I sing the summer serenade
The past is done, we’ve been betrayed, its true.
Someone said the truth will out
I believe without a doubt, in you

You were there for summer dreamin’,
And you gave me what I need.
And I hope you’ll find your freedom,
For eternity, for eternity.

Yesterday when you were walking,
You talked about your Mom and Dad.
What they did had made you happy,
What they didnt made you sad.

We sat and watched the sun go down,
Picked a star before we lost the moon.
Youth is wasted on the young,
Before you know its come and gone too soon.

You were there for summer dreaming,
And you gave me what I need.
And I hope you’ll find your freedom,
For eternity, for eternity.

I sing the summer serenade,
The past is done, we’ve been betrayed, its true.
Youth is wasted on the young,
Before you know its come and gone, too soon.

You were there for summer dreamin’,
And you are a friend indeed.
And I hope you’ll find your freedom,
For eternity.

You were there for summer dreamin’,
And you are a friend indeed.
And I know you’ll find your freedom,
Eventually, for eternity, for eternity.”
