anak seni singapura

Suatu ketika dulu Singapura sangat terkenal dengan anak-anak seni yang berbakat dan berkaliber. kalau kita lihat kembali filem-filem klasik waktu zaman P.Ramlee, hampir kesemua pelakon-pelakonnya mempunyai ciri dan keunikan yang tersendiri.

Contohnya, jika kita lihat lakonan Siti Tanjung Perak, menghidupkan watak didalam sesuatu cerita. Gayanya yang selamba, kata-katanya yang suka menyindir dan mimik muka yang garang, kadang pula penyayang berjaya mencerminkan sifat 'ibu-ibu' ketika itu.

Filem klasik VS Filem melayu pada hari ini ? Cuma ada dua hal yang aku fikirkan.

1) Pelakon yang berjaya meninggalkan kesan kepada penonton.

2) Filem-filem yang paling disenangi orang Melayu kita dari masa ke masa.

Dari bunyinya memang lah mudah. Tapi untuk mendapatkannya, Masyaallah,memang susah.

Barisan pelakon-pelakon handal bukan sahaja dapat kita lihat pada era P.Ramlee saja.

Cuba lungsuri kembali era 90an , aku berani untuk mengatakan drama-drama melayu tempatan pada waktu itu tidak kurang hebatnya. Hebat dalam erti kata, jalan cerita yang menarik dan pelakon-pelakonnya yang sangat berbakat. Muka-muka yang biasa kita lihat pada waktu itu seperti Jorah Ahmad, Mahadi Syor, Azhar Norlesta, Sahfudin Mahfudz,Seri Wahyuni Jaes sering mewarnai kaca televisyen kita. Aku senang menonton drama melayu pada waktu itu kerana sepertinya pelakon-pelakon itu sangat menghayati watak yang dibawakan. Memang tidak dinafikan lagi, memang berbeza pelakon dahulu dan pelakon sekarang.

Aku berpendapat drama tempatan memang ada peluang untuk pergi jauh. Cuma dari apa yang aku telitikan, drama-drama pada masa kini lebih mementingkan X-factor dari isi dan mutu lakonan. X-factor itu memang lah perlu. Siapa tak mahu melihat muka yang manis di kaca tv, tapi yang mengecewakan lagi adalah - ada rupa tapi lakonannya gagal disampaikan. Kata orang, nak menangis pun nak kena maintain lawa. (kata orang....)

Bisakah drama melayu Singapura maju dan berkembang atau tetap akan kekal pada status yang sering dipersoalkan motifnya?

seruan.sahutan.penyertaan.

setelah hari ini, aku pulang dengan spekulasi yang membuat aku semakin yakin bahawa ada individu senang membuat penilaian cuma dengan memandang sesuatu dari satu sisi.



aku merasakan sifat itu sama dengan menghakimi sesuatu perkara dengan tidak mempunyai sifat keadilan dan lebih buruk lagi menunjukkan kejahilan individu tersebut.

'stereotyping' itu perkara biasa. aku tidak menafikan kegunaannya. cuma jika disalah gunakan sama seperti mengacu pistol di kepala sendiri.



apakah pandangan anda tentang stereotyping? adil atau tidak?

mukadimah?

sekian lama aku tidak menulis dalam bahasa melayu,kini 2009 aku cuba menguji sendiri keupayaan itu. semoga tidak beku bahasa melayu baku ku seterus ini.... Insyaallah... :)

bahasa melayu juga selalu disebut-sebut bahasa ibunda. dahulu aku pernah tertanya-tanya kenapa bahasa melayu dipanggil bahasa ibunda? apa tidak layak dipanggil bahasa ayahanda? bukan kah ayah itu seorang lelaki, sinonim dengan figur seorang pemimpin atau dalam erti kata lain wali didalam keluarga ? mungkin bahasawan atau bangsawan silam didominasi kaum wanita? aku tidak peka dengan sejarah bahasa melayu juga bukan niat aku nak menuduh. cuma jadi suatu pertanyaan. bahasa melayu sahaja? bahasa inggeris juga menggunakan sebutan yang sama. 'mother tongue'. jadi kenapa?

terus terang aku merasa seperti anak yang baru belajar menulis bahasa melayu. mungkin bukan dalam segi penggunaan bahasa itu sendiri, cuma ilham yang hendak aku sampaikan. rasanya seperti aku mengarang puisi. hahah.

mannnn this is whackkkkkkk! hahahahhahahah! ok lah not so bad rite? ;)

polish

hahah.

its hard to get a job

have u ever try applying for jobs online? jobsdb.com ? jobstreet? to date -------- hopeless.
i've been waiting months now but feedback is just reports; how many jobs i've applied, how many people applied for the same job, my expected salary is lower or higher than than the rest of the applicants. i don't need reports ! just get me a job !

heads up high~ heads up high~

giving up hopes on these 'just there but serve no purpose' websites, ive decided that i need to be more hands on now. trying the conventional way.

mailing.

yes my diploma is finally in hand. alhamdulillah~~~~
so wat did i do? courtesy of my new canon printer/scanner/copier (cheyy tak important eh..) have all the papers copied and each set goes into a brown envelope. ive got an actual A4 size envelope la! in the name of being kiasu...

talking bout hard to get a job, now, the bad time and being a job seeker and on the dole , i feel that as much people find it inhibiting it is also enfeeble . this condition just couldnt get worst.

i remembered the moment when singapore was affected by the world recession in 2003, i was still in secondary school then and wasnt thinking about how serious it was , clearly because i was still schooling and not agonizing. u can see episodes of despair , be it on the papers,news and personal. now i have a taste of the medicine. dude it sure doesnt tastes good.hah.

head up high~ head up high ~

no work? study laa... thats the more common suggestions people would give you? ever.
i think it is a good alternative to fill in blanks between jobs. however how much can school cost you? a diploma shave about 5-6 k off your pocket, a degree is definitely much more expensive. 20-30 k. back in the days, i don't think people would study without a cause (which usually the case of wanting to self-upgrade), but now people have to study or else least chance for you to get a job. what if i've already got myself a diploma and i dont intend to pursue my studies? am i given a choice or no choice at all? sounds dubious aint it? i have to agree that this is the fact that we have to face. tougher competitions in respective industry in terms of employment.

thanks to the people republic of china and the pinoys from the phillipines,flooding our tiny island and replacing almost all positions. soon we can see all of em working here Singaporeans ending up working in their country instead. HAH. oh yah have you realised that too? are the pinoys getting richer nowadays or what. Mabuhay~ :)

paris van java

Puncak means peak or maximum in bahasa. being in puncak gives you the pleasure of being in paris, the south-east asia version. tak payah pening-pening kepala nak pegi france. makanan pon halal, tak was-was.

savouring indonesian delicacies like ikan gurame asem manis, sup buntut, ayam pop, sambal terasi,sayur asem while overlooking western java highlands and greeneries (really green!).

have you ever tasted rabbit's meat. now if you are adventurous enough and ever gonna step your foot in puncak, try their own speciality satay kelinci! you can spot small vendors selling this rare delicasy by the side road. worth a shot. you dont have to worry about inconvinience in puncak. you can find food almost everywhere,every corner and the most important thing is that all of em' are haaa - lal. accomodation? no problem. they have villas for rental and mountain resorts. the common ones will be villas. a unit of villa can accomodate 4-5 people or more (like those chalets you can find in sg , just bit more spacious.).

during my previous trip to puncak , i tried this cool villa called 'Bukit Talita Villa'. its superb for lovebirds or newly weds to spend a good vacation/honeymoon. woody interior and carvings, romantic bedding and they have a marvelous view from the veranda. the only minus point is the location. not accessible and the entrance to the villa is really steep! imagine your vehicle going up more than 45 degrees above ground! hahah. anyway theres more good places to stay, no harm trying.
