15 Malaysia

15Malaysia is a short film project sponsored by P1. We have read lots of news coverage on these 15 short films made by 15 Malaysian filmmakers. I think it's not only a great chance for ppl to get to know the different short film directors (some famous like Yasmin Ahmad, some not so la), the stories touched sensitive socio-political issues in Malaysia (including religious). At least it portraits real voices in Malaysia.

希望大家在国庆月里从短片中反思。以下是刚不幸逝世著名导演Yasmin Ahmad 的作品：Chocolate

How the world see us!

勇士娇娃

其实在昨天也有一位艺人因癌症而逝世，不过没有太大的报导而被注意到。她就是70年代红及一时的性感偶像Farrah Fawcett。

Farrah在3年前被诊断患了癌症，为了鼓励大家不要轻易放弃生命，今年她决定把自己抗癌的过程真实的记录下来，在全美国播出，激励了不少人。非常佩服她她毅然地在众人的注目下把自己招牌金发剪光，还勇敢的让大家看到她在电疗后的衰老模样，真是了不起的伟大女人。



 

她在电视剧霹雳娇娃里扮演一位特务。戏里她金发波浪式发型成为当时女性最爱模仿的造型, 也是男性推崇的性感女神。虽然如此，我还是比较喜欢 Jaclyn Smith （右边黑色长头发）。 最近在NTV7的真人秀Shear Genius 发现Jaclyn 担任主持人，风采依旧，开心死了！（话题转开了）

又有一颗巨星坠落了！

  

I think many of us still in shock and feel devastating at this tragic and unexpected news. The world is looking forward to his world tour concerts which are scheduled to play 50 concerts at London next month and running through early 2010.

如果不是他的噩耗传出，都没想到麦可杰克逊已经50岁了。6字辈人的成长过程中必定有听过他的歌或学过他的舞步。

 

虽然他的外貌不断的改变（到后期真的很吓人），在1993年捲入涉嫌性侵害男童風波，又因在高楼处做出欲把自己儿子往下扔的动作而引起社会哗然，但我相信这些负面新闻都会随着他的逝世而让世人逐渐遗忘。而他数不清的佳作，将不时的在你我心中响起…

特爱他的MTV 和舞蹈，一直永远带领潮流。如Black & White 里用电脑科技转换不同的面孔; 从Motown 25  到 Billy Jean里的Moonwalker 舞步到现在都还有人模仿；Thriller 里的怪诞恐怖化妆和舞蹈; Beat It 里经典抓下跨的动作；Remember The Time 里邀请了谐星Eddy Murhpy 和名模Iman共同演出了一段凄美的埃及皇宫故事；In the Closet 里名模Naomi Campbell性感风情舞姿, 等等… （不知有没有勾起你的回忆？）

觉得只有他是续Elvis Presley 后另一个真正永恒的天王巨星。（相信盗版集团已经开始出版MJ的经典专辑了。）

关于他的侵犯男童的案件让他花了不少钱对公堂，法庭虽判他无罪，但这已造成他事业中的一大污点。无论如何我选择相信他的确怀有一颗赤子之心。因为他的成长过程背景和常人不同，所以我觉得不该用凡夫俗子的心态来评估他。如果看看他的作品Childhood里的歌词，你也许会同意我这点..

Have you seen my Childhood?
I'm searching for the world that I come from
'Cause I've been looking around
In the lost and found of my heart...
No one understands me
They view it as such strange eccentricities...
'Cause I keep kidding around
Like a child, but pardon me..

Have you seen my Childhood?
I'm searching for that wonder in my youth
Like fantastical stories to share
But the dreams I would dare, watch me fly...

Before you judge me, try hard to love me.
The painful youth I've had

Have you seen my Childhood....

Life is unpredictable

My grandma was attacked with stroke 2 weeks ago. It happened so sudden and without any sign. At first doctor said there was a blockage on her left brain and thus caused her right part of the body almost paralyze. Monday we sent her to JB for second opinion from a neuro physician. This doctor told us from a clearer CT scan showed that actually it was a major stroke. Grandma is 89 years old and what we can do now is to give her physiotherapy. Hopefully she will get well soon.

Another case whereby a 18 years old young girl was hit by car while riding motorcycle on her way to buy her grandparents lunch. This girl died after 4 days in ICU. Her last wish was to donate all the organs. Unfortunately only her bone, skin and cornea can be used, the inner organs are not in good condition to donate due to low blood pressure. It shows that even one has signed up the organ donation  card, it doesn't mean that all can be used. I truely admire and respect this young girl who not only has such big heart but also decided to cremate her body and throw ashes into sea.

A tribute to all generous organ donors.

罗生门

小学某班级老师决定选同学乙为全级总协调。

其他同学问班长甲同学有关此事，他回答：“是我推荐乙同学的，我见了老师两次谈论此事。”

过后乙同学却说：“这是我见老师三次的成果。”

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

公司总裁宣布提升B先生为区域总协调。

B先生的上司A经理向大家说：“是我推荐B副经理的，为了此事我见了总裁两次。”

过后B副经理却称对A经理是否曾会总裁推荐他一事并不知情。“这是他们两个人的秘密，我不知道。但我确实亲自会晤总裁才得到此职位！”

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

罗生门事件可以发生在任何人、时间、地点或场合。所谓公说公有理、婆说婆有理，到底谁有理，还是由做决定的人发言吧。

但这时候不是争议是谁的功劳的时候，而是被推荐的人是否能够发挥其才能，尽所能的将所赋予的任务完成，带领大家面对严峻挑战。

不知那些不断在争议是谁功劳的人有没有想想看，如果以后被推荐的人表现不理想的话，以下的对白很可能就会出现：

班长甲同学：“当初不是我推荐的，我才见老师两次，老师那里可能会听我的话？”

乙同学：“我又不是班长，老师那里会直接见我选我？”

A经理解释：“当初总裁只见我两次，而且还讨论其他事情，那里有可能马上听从我的建议就决定呢？”

乙同学：“我在部门只是挂名副经理，没有实权。总裁那里会召见我三次？”

到时罗生门肯定又会再发生。
