University of Life..

Assalamualaikum..

Saya antara insan bertuah di muka bumi Allah ini kerana dapat bertemu dengan Syed Hussien Alattas. Bertuah kerana dipertemu ketika nyawa masih dikandung badan.

Saya cukup menghormati pandangan beliau terhadap kehidupan. "Life is Short, why make it shorter?" he said.

He also believe that if there's enough loving, giving, sharing, caring and forgiving, there's no need for war, hunger, dissappointment and misfortune in this world. What an insight! Saya teruja bila dapat berbual dengan beliau kerana setiap tutur kata yang keluar dari mulutnya adalah ilmu yang sukar diperoleh dari mana-mana universiti atau buku. Itulah pengalaman yang paling bermakna bagi saya untuk tahun 2008 ini.

Peluang seperti ini sebenarnya membantu saya menjadi insan yang lebih matang dan berguna. Saya sudahpun menjejak kaki ke Wadi Hussien dan menikmati keindahan dan keajaiban di Taman Hana. Terima kasih Pak Habib!

Akhir kata, jangan lepaskan peluang untuk ke sana sekiranya anda berpeluang dan berkunjung ke Janda Baik. Carilah Taman Hana Pak Habib yang dibuka dari pukul 9 pagi hingga 5 petang.

Loving, Caring, Sharing, Giving and Forgiving will motivate us all...

Assalamualaikum semua,
Saya mengambil kesempatan ini untuk mengucapkan salam maal hijrah buat semua rakan-rakan. 1 Muharram 1430 H.

Selain itu, tahniah juga buat AMYZA dan BUSU kerana berjaya memberi persembahan yang terbaik untuk final sehati berdansa di PICC semalam. Walaupun nasib tidak menyebelahi anda, anda tetap ceria dan sabar menghadapi dugaan.

Selamat Harijadi diucapkan buat Kak Sabariah. Semoga gembira selalu.
Tahun 2009 menanti kita semua. Peristiwa sepanjang 2008 pula banyak memberi kenangan dan pengalaman berguna kepada kita. Saya mengharapkan agar tahun 2009 membawa seribu makna untuk anda semua.

Loving, Caring, Sharing, Giving and Forgiving will motivate us all...

Kemaskini blog... kalau bukan tuannya siapa lagi!

Assalamualaikum semua,

Lama juga rasanya saya tidak mengemaskini blog saya. Sayang sekali bukan? Ada blog tetapi malas nak menulis. Sebenarnya, saya jarang menulis di blog ini kerana terus-terang saya lebih mengikuti "MukaBuku" saya.

Tapi segalanya bakal berubah kerana saya ingin memperkasakan tatabahasa dan perbendaharaan saya dalam bahasa melayu. Cita-cita yang besar tetapi kalau orang lain mampu melakukannya mengapa tidak saya?

Buat masa sekarang saya tengah bersiap sedia untuk berlakon dalam sebuah filem. Filem ini bakal mengubah persepsi orang ramai yang juga merupakan pemecah panggung di Malaysia.Mereka akan berkata, "Wah, orang Malaysia pandai buat filem rupanya!" Tetapi sebelum itu pelbagai perkara perlu diambil kira memandangkan diri saya ini serba kekurangan. Jadi persediaan menjadi seorang pelakon haruslah mantap agar saya tidak mengecewakan harapan yang telah disandarkan pada saya daripada rakan-rakan seperjuangan, abah dan mommy serta mereka yang sudi membayar gaji saya.

Semenjak dua menjak ni, saya mula merasakan bahawa saya sedikit-sebanyak telah mula lari dari matlamat saya yang sebenarnya. Saya telah menetapkan cita-cita dan berusaha menjadi seorang pelakon yang disegani dan berjaya. Walaubagaimanapun, usaha saya itu telah menemui pelbagai rintangan sehinggakan saya terpaksa menceburi bidang belakang tabir. Memang bidang belakang tabir banyak mengajar saya selok-belok produksi tetapi hati saya lebih cenderung untuk berlakon. Saya mahu berlakon sehingga saya sendiri tidak sedar yang saya ni berlakon. Wah!

Baru-baru ni ketika mengikuti sebuah Program Perkampungan Seni di Taman Hana Wadi Hussien di Janda Baik, Pahang, saya berpeluang menikmati keseronokan berlakon dalam sebuah pementasan teater bangsawan. Saya memegang watak Laksamana Garang Misai Melintang :) Syukur Alhamdulillah pementasan itu berjaya kerana kami sebenarnya menyiapkan pementasan itu dalam masa tiga hari sahaja!

Perkara-perkara yang kita minati selalunya mendorong kita menulis dengan lebih teliti dan panjang lebar. Sebenarnya banyak perkara yang ingin saya sentuh tetapi saya rasa setakat itu la dulu. Pejam celik, pejam celik, kita bakal meninggalkan tahun 2008 dan menanti kehadiran 2009. Harapan saya 2009 ini menjadi titik tolak permulaan kerjaya senilakon saya yang lebih serius dan doakan saya berjaya hendaknya.Sekian, terima kasih daun keladi..Ada rezeki jumpa lagi.

Egg!

Hi.
"Eggs contain from 72 to 84 per cent. of water, about 12 to 14 percents of albuminoids. The yolk is quite rich in fat; the white deficient. They also contain mineral matter and extractives. " What the ...?
Hmm... Why am I talking about eggs? Well, I guess I always eggs crazy! I think it's because mom and dad can cook them really well. Even my sister, Ana can stop thinking about the deliciousand fantastic egg cooked by my dad.
I need to write something.. or anything and that's when I come out with EGG! Haha! I just want to wish my friends and family Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri.. Maaf Zahir and Batin guys!

One month of shooting yet I'm still fat.. :)

One month of shooting yet I'm still fat.. :)

Well. It's been a month since I began shooting. instead of losing weight which I have planned earlier on, I've managed to put on weight. I want to lose weight because my BMI has gone up 1 percent. This worries me and I want to do something about it. The problem is, I have to eat... (Yup! I ate A lot!)
My work requires me to work around the clock and I can't skip a meal. This is because if I choose to skip it, I'll feel weak and out of focus. This is totally different when I act. I can skip meal as easy as ABC's. My point is things are different when you're doing behind the scene work. But Alhamdulillah, I am still healthly and in a tip top condition. I'll continue my work to the best of my abilities and try not to disappoint those who work alongside me, Insyaallah.
Well, that all for today. Catch ya all later..

Life ain't easy but you move on...

Hi guys,
I just came back from my work. So busy la. I've been wanting to write something...anything but I'm too tired. Today shoot ends around 11:45 p.m so I guessed I still got some energy to blog.
Well, I'm glad both my sisters are doing fine. Jannah still correcting the wrong while Ana is writing a song at the moment.... As for their infamous brother, I'm currently doing 2nd AD and Continuity for Yusof Kelana. It's hectic but so bloody fun! Especially when you are surrounded by artistes like Serina, Fezrul Khan, Anding, Raja Azrey, Zack Kool, Yasmin Haron, Sha Sha Korea, Lando and many more.
Plenty of shooting days to go but I'll do my best to do my job. Well Early call time tomorrow and it's already 4.10 a.m. OMG! Got to sleep la! See ya!

Saddiq Raffali. Love by some, hated by plenty but wanted by many...

Hi guys!

My name is Saddiq and I've just turned 27 last weekend. When you passed a certain age you want to do something new and exciting. So I've decided to blog. I want to response to others' blog too. For example, both my sisters Jannah and Ana just declared war with a celebrity and I don't want to miss it. Well, Even my brother Acat mention something about pulling a "Natasha". Hehehe!
I want to add something..

Pulling a Natasha

Who say life is unfair? I've Just came back from my lair.
From phooning around and back into my mound,
A new story is being untold effectively. It's about a girl who wants to fool the world silly.
But instead got crashed and burned horridly, Oh my!

Go Jane, Go Ana, Go Acat...
