Saya BUKAN hater Aaron Aziz, cuma...

I have to make it clear that I really do appreciate Aaron Aziz as a great actor. But I just watched Ombak Rindu and my thought was "can it get more serious than this, ladies?"

Apa beza Haris dengan Seth Tan? Koya Roya, hensem bergaya, started out totally badass then turned goodie goodie, got the girl and lived happily ever after? Pfftt.

Dear Karma, you've been missing from these chick flicks for too long now. Please come back and knock some sense out of the writers.

How do I judge Haris?

Satu, kaki betina. Sebelum dapat Izzah tu entah berapa ayam dia dah makan kot. Tipu la dapat ayam fresh macam Izzah teros nak taobat.

Dua, makan rasuah. Dia yang tolong taukeh ayam tu dapat lesen kan? Rasuah itu HARAM wahai rakan-rakan.

Tiga, super duper ungrateful. Aku kesian kat kau Milah. Tapi takpela kan, dapat jugak kau merasa Haris jadi laki.

Sekali lagi aku ulang yang aku BUKAN hater Aaron Aziz...

Buang hati

Hati ni organ hebat. Boleh potong-potong. Boleh tumbuh balik.

Hari-hari sakit. Hari-hari sembuh.

Tu belum kira time hati patah, kering, panas, berkecai...

Kadang-kadang hati buat magik. Pernah tak dengar orang kata "takde hatila..."

Tapi lepas tu hati dia ada balik. Magik kan?

Semalam aku tengok Milah keluarkan hati dia. Kesian, hati Milah banyak plaster. Ada pulak part yang lubang-lubang.

Aku tanya Milah, kenapa ada lubang-lubang?

Milah cakap sebab dulu dia cubit lepas tu buang bahagian yang sakit. Sekarang dia bawak keluar semua, Milah dah tak kuasa nak cubit-cubit. Milah nak buang hati dia.

Aku tengok Milah lempar hati dia dalam api.

The other side

Nah, the other side wasn't as I expected it to be. Yeah, it was dark, intriguing, mysterious and all, but that's all it was. Did I meet the Devil? I sure did. Absolutely charming, I totally gave my soul to him. Regret it? Hell, yeah. Turned out Mr. Devil was the father of Casanova. So I'm done here. And screwed, two hundred and seventy six percent.

The last time I checked, Devil was busy on the borderline. Yeah, he's got a potential soul to bring over. It sure took long, this soul. But I guess it won't be long now. So congrats in advance, D.

I'm checking out.

notakaki: Mr. Devil, sir, just so you know, I'm taking my soul back with me. Well, what's left of it anyway. Don't keep in touch.

kepada perempuan itu

sorry beb. aku pinjam jek, bukan nak ambik pun. i'm just curious and bored. and a bit crazy.

Three

To these 3, I give you my deepest gratitude and love.

Amarlena Ahmad, you're simply the bestest bestie in the whole world. Thanks for always being the first to remember. No other presents required. You're just my rock, girl!

Awi, only God knows how much I feel indebted to you. For those unsaid thank you's and I'm sorry's that I owe you, I can only express them here and now. And a million more thanks for remembering today.

Zaw, thanks a million for the effort to remember, and the effort to cover up that you did not. I love you brother.

Bimbo: I don't wanna watch The Smurfs...
Bimbo's friend: What do you wanna watch then?
Bimbo: I don't like The Smurfs.. I wanna watch Johnny England...
Me: (Johnny WHAT?)
Bimbo's friend: What about Nasi Lemak?
Bimbo: Ewww... I heard Nasi Lemak is sOOOoo stupid!
Me: (are you for real, stupid?)
Bimbo: Hey, look! Sherlock HOMELESS!
Me: (WTF*&%$#!!!)

notakaki: once a bimbo...

Seth Tan is NOT a hero!

I don't geddit AT ALL folks. The hype is on for a former rapist who married the girl he raped a decade ago? And you guys just lurrrrve this? I might just scream 999 right now. Or not.
No, I don't watch the series. I prefer books (Yes I'm THAT geek). I read that romance fiction ages ago (forced to by my best buddy) and found nothing romantic in it. What's so romantic about a rapist? Yes it was all in the past and he's oh-so-perfect but it's RAPE my dear gals.
What's with Malaysian fictions anyways? It's always innocent girls met egocentric-suparich-megahandsome-playboy-turned ustaz in the end. And damn the setting. White collar jobs aren't the only jobs in the world sistah. And bad guys don't turn good because they fall in love with you. And no, there's no Seth Tan in the real world but Setan there is.
This is pretty sad indeed. I do think that women should be empowered, our women even more so. Why is it okay to be raped, even if it's by the person you love? Why is it okay to be beaten by your guy? Why is it blissful to give up your rights as long as the guy is satisfied while the girl takes all the blame and suffers? Is it because the last page of the book screams "they live happily ever after"? Bullshit. It makes me wanna give a bitch slap to the writer (just an expression, no harm meant).
I'm not suggesting that Malaysian writers are crap. I adore a lot of them. Being a moderate feminist that I am, I just can't stand the idea of "it's okay as long as he loves me". If we can just stop producing and reproducing that kind of ideologies, the Malaysian literary world (and the real world) could be a little better.

notakaki: Just a thought.
