Sunscreen - Nasihat daripada Baz Luhrman

Mari kembali kembali ke zaman 90's.

Ni antara lagu yang significant masa 90's. Lirik lagu ni diambil daripada artikel Mary Schmich dalam Chicago Tribune dan kemudian dibuat dalam bentuk lagu oleh Baz Luhrman. Walaupun sebahagian daripada kita memang immune (atau lebih tepat annoyed) dengan motivation talk, books, seminar (aku pun sama) tapi what the hell. Enjoy. By the way, aku rasa ada few lines yang sudah relevant sekarang ni. Yeay, petanda kita makin tua.

Ladies and gentlemen of the class of '99
Wear sunscreen
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it
The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists
Whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable
Than my own meandering experience, I will dispense this advice now

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth, oh, never mind
You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth
Until they've faded but trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back
At photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now
How much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked
You are not as fat as you imagine

Don't worry about the future
Or know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation
by chewing bubble gum
The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind
The kind that blindsides you at 4 p.m. on some idle Tuesday

Do one thing every day that scares you
Don't be reckless with other people's hearts
Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours

Floss
Don't waste your time on jealousy
Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind
The race is long and in the end, it's only with yourself

Remember compliments you receive, forget the insults,
if you succeed in doing this, tell me how
Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements

Stretch
The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives
Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't

Get plenty of calcium
Be kind to your knees
You'll miss them when they're gone

Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't
Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't
Maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the 'Funky Chicken'
On your 75th wedding anniversary
Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much
Or berate yourself either

Your choices are half chance, so are everybody else's
Enjoy your body, use it every way you can
Don't be afraid of it or what other people think of it
It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own

Dance,
even if you have nowhere to do it but your own living room
Read the directions even if you don't follow them
Do not read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly

Get to know your parents, you never know when they'll be gone for good
Be nice to your siblings, they're your best link to your past
And the people most likely to stick with you in the future
Understand that friends come and go
But a precious few, who should hold on

Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle
For as the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young
Live in New York City once but leave before it makes you hard
Live in northern California once but leave before it makes you soft

Travel
Accept certain inalienable truths
Prices will rise, politicians will philander, you, too, will get old
And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young
Prices were reasonable, politicians were noble
And children respected their elders
Respect your elders

Don't expect anyone else to support you
Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse
But you never know when either one might run out

Don't mess too much with your hair
Or by the time you're 40 it will look 85

Be careful whose advice you buy but be patient with those who supply it
Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past
From the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts
And recycling it for more than it's worth
But trust me on the sunscreen

I AM THE ONE WHO KNOCKS - Heisenberg

Among the best written TV series ever. 

Walter White with hair - less violent
Walter white without hair - more violent
Walter white - bald, hat, shades and dark jacket - mfcker/bad ass/Heisenberg




Country Garden Danga Bay

Aku yang sekali-sekala lalu depan Danga Bay rasa jem kat depan Danga Bay ni dah bertukar dari jem biasa-biasa sampai tahap nak maki. Antara sebab nak maki apabila kita tahu jalan jem sebab kereta parking berlapis-lapis sampai jalan jadi sempit. Sempit macam otak driver yang parking sesuka hati kat tepi jalan tu.

Ada sekali tu masa aku lalu aku nampak BMW 3 series, pintu sebelah driver rabak kena hentam dengan bas pelancong. Sebab parking tepi jalan punya pasal. 

Danga Bay bukan area favorite aku tapi tu shortest route dari rumah nak ke pusat bandar. Aku pun dah jarang menghala ke pusat bandar unless ada meeting dengan geng Yasin.

Tapi apesal agaknya jalan jadi jem? Ni haa....baca.


Ok. Ada developer dari China nak develop world class facilities dan cara nak promosikan projek ni diorang (developer) buat satu karnival kat tapak projek tu. Berdasarkan pemerhatian aku (dari luar) nampak macam ada fun-fair (yang sedikit upgrade) siap mainan, merry go round, dan entah apa-apa lagi. Siap ada artis dijemput datang. Hmmm.....

Baca ni lagi.


Ok. Artis Mediacorp.

Dengan tagline  the next Sentosa, lepas tu jemput pulak artis Mediacorp. What the fuck?

Danga Bay yang dulunya Pantai Lido, tempat rakyat marhaen berpiknik, berjogging, beriadah tapi sekarang ada pihak yang memang berusaha keras nak 'bagi' kat Singaporean. Dah la sekarang penuh dengan kondo, apartment, bangunan komersial yang entah siapa pemiliknya (berapa peratus rakyat Malaysia dan berapa peratus pegangan Bumiputera agaknya.)

Tahniah Johorean. Jangan bimbang, kita dapat sejuta rumah mampu milik yang dibuat dari pre-cast concrete. Syukurrrrrrrrr.

Officer Alex Murphy Kembali!



Officer Alex Murphy kembali dengan suit hitam. Ini antara filem yang patut dibuat remake sebab original filem kalau tengok sekarang macam haram dia punya special effect. 

Aku nampak casting pun dah upgrade ke first grade actor and actress. Michael Keaton, Samuel L Jackson, dan Gary Oldman.

Hati Kama part 2 (ulas lirik oiiiii)

Setelah berkurun tak masuk blog ni aku nampak komen yang bagi ulasan lagu Hati Kama secara detail. Secara jujur kitorang memang tak give a fck pun. Aku pun kalau bab bahasa dan puisi ni ibarat macam suruh aku mengecat rumah dan tunggu cat tu kering.

Tapi sebab tengok si tukang komen ni beriya ulas tersirat dan tersirat aku paste maksud lagu ni kat sini. Terima kasih sebab singgah dan komen.

Anonymous said...
lagu Hati Kama ni sebenarnya adalah kiasan puisi untuk seseorang yang (khas nya lelaki) yang telah di hancurkan hati nya oleh yang tersayang (isteri, tunang). 
Di dalam pusis Hati Kama ini, yang tersayang itu di tuliskan sebagai Juwita.
mengindang itu mremamng maksudnya dari tarian indang minang.
Jadi mengindang 2 padi huma, seperti tarian musim menuai padi, padi di tampi. 

Memandang mandang hati kama, memandang dalam renungan.

Jadi nya, si lelaki ini sedang bersedih, merenung dan bersedih hati , kerana hatinya telah hancur remuk (mungkin isterinya sudah churang, atau tunangnya sudah terpikat dengan orang lain), selaras denagn lirik "munkin hatinya di duga sehingga terusik hati nurani:.


Ada pihak ketiga di dalam gambaran ini. Iaitu seorang perempuan lain yang si lelaki ini cintai, dan begitu juga perempuan itu terhadap si lelaki.

Mungkin si perempuan itu telah berjanji dengan si lelaki tersebut yang dia tak akan meluka kan hati si lelaki itu dan si perempuan ini akan setia padanya.

atau, mungkin juga sama ada si lelaki dan perempuan ini tidak pernah lagi bersua tetapi kedua dua nya menanti kedatangan pasanagn yang di impikan (pasangan setia).

Jadi , "tawan lah jiwa ku, lepaskan sayap juwita", maksud nya secara abstraknya, si perempuan memanggil si lelaki supaya melepas kan atau melupakn isterinya (atau tunangnya ) sekarang.

"turutlah janji ku, lepaskan segenap lara", makna nya apabila si lelaki ini bersatu dengan si perempuan baru ini, perempuan ini berjanji yang se lelaki akan bahagia bersam dia, dan segenap lara akan hilang.

Dan merisik risik asal usulnya, sudah tentu bermakna, si lelaki sedang merisik latar belakang perempuan itu.

"Adakah ia hamba sahaya, atau pun pandai tafsir mimpi" adalah simbolik. bermaksud mungkin si lelaki atau pun si perempuan ynag di idamkan itu orang biasa ataupun berharta dan bijaksana.

"burung yang terbang, utus/sampai kan salam" adalah juga simbolik dari cara pasanagn melepas kan perasaan berahi, "hati Kama" kepada pihak ynag ci idamkan,

Lagu ini memberi kesan yang sangat medalam dan boleh membuat seseorang yang di dalam keadaan yang di tipu oleh isterinya boleh menangis...
