Not Much of A Writer

May 14, 2009

I just went back from scriptwriting workshop Sunday. My conclusion? I feel glad that I meet a lots of people from different background. An eye opener who me. With so much ‘reality’ happened behind local movie scene, now I know why it’s hard to put our nation’s in the same level like other country.But my instinct were absolutely right, along the way past the decades ago, that we are far more better than any of other country especially Asian,  if we were given a fair chance. I don’t want to discussed that, it’s just something unexplained and the facts and ideas based on that are something that I must reserved. Typical me :-)

But after a day of exciting learning experiences, i feel something strange. It’s like, the more I try to run and chasing my dream, the more I feel that my destiny is something that was really near with me. Something that I should’ve known before. I wonder why FINAS was so closed to my primary schools,my secondary schools and even my home.I wonder why is it normal for me to see a TV drama or film production is doing their outdoor work, which I very often encounter such things. I remember there was TV production called ‘Jangan Ketawa’ did one of their episodes in my school when I was 11 years old.Suddenly it coming back to my mind in last 2 year, when my previous employer RHB Bank was having a annual dinner for my department in Royale Bintang, I was  the “Choosen One” to be on the stage performing spontaneous Spidey costume tricks, with the host at that night whose name is Dee, which happens to be one of the actor that starred in Jangan Ketawa.Damn, I was wearing a black tuxedo that night and he happens to joke around by showing his lust to a boy like me.That was in front of more than 100 crowd of my colleagues that knew me with my 5 years of unforgettable working experience there. I purposely avoiding any small talk that would makes him flash back all those moments in schools while talking to him.  That was a hundred of my objections of chances to be in anything that related with acting,filming or anything that related with broadcasting business.No, it’s not that I hate this business. I got so many friends,cousins and former schoolmates that involved in this and it’s like the TV drama and film are small for me, I can tell more than 70 % of the places that this film/TV production was shooting nearby places that are my stomping ground.Maybe it’s was me, who thought that having so much priorities and biggger than any fortune in front of myself, all the way before. But I didn;t realized so much things that were noted in Malaysia local fim scene history was happened around this particular area.

Ulu Klang,Setapak and Gombak, where the FINAS was built, P. Ramlee was lived (Taman P.Ramlee in Setapak as well as P.Ramlee Memorial Library) and other places which think you should be able to noticed, were all of my places where I grew up.But No, it’s not something that I proud of. I shall say I am the most stupid person by choosing things that were supposed to be “choose” at first place. But being stupid or the most stupid is not the issue.Is not what the decision that determine your stupdiness, but what are the output and outcomes, is the most important thing.But I also believed the theory applies to different things with different situation that must be consider. Procedures is better than results. Guess what? I got that from Winter Sonata, a love story from Korea. Yes, the love story is interesting but I don’t follow that much..And don’t even start with me! Heheh…just kidding. But from that you get the ideas of this – People see things that they only want to see as much as what they want to hear. Hmnnnn…. just imagine how TV can gave impact so much with different kind of ideas,philosophies and even your decision in life.

Take Care..
