Papadom adalah cara saya untuk membawa ketengah satu masaalah besar kehidupan saya yang datangnya dari kelemahan diri saya yang sebenar. Saya takut untuk menjadi macam Saadom tapi cara Saadom bekerja di awal filem PAPADOM adalah saya. Apa yang saadom buat di pertengahan filem adalah apa yang afdlin shauki sanggup lakukan untuk anak dia.
Life is ultimately about balance. Life should be lived well spiritually and physically. These are the things that i still have not managed to achieve in my life. It's like knowing that smoking is bad for you but you cannot stop. I AM A WORKOHOLIC. i have a problem which stems from my passion to create and share my ideas with the world. I know i have I have to prioritize what is important to me but i am a person who believes that whatever i am doing and whomever i love are IMPORTANT. I wish that life was not that hard but i also realise that this is what life is about.
I am nobody special. I am just like you. I am just a man with a bunch of crazy ideas that i would like to see materialize into hopefully an entertaining piece of art. I DOn't know how long more i can keep this up though. I am not getting any younger and this business of trying to entertain people is very tough and taxing on my relationships and not too mention financially sapping especially living in Malaysia. I have to start thinking about my children and be there for them before they don't want me around anymore. They are my gems. What do i do???...
Gua agak confused dengan keadaan sekarang... tetapi gua masih mencari jawapan konflik hidup gua tu.
Papadom is my thoughts and my worst case scenario take on the matter.
Sebelum saya mengundur diri, sekali lagi saya nak mengulangi permintaan saya :
"Papadom berada di pawagam bermula hari khamis 8 hb oktober semalam. Saya ada satu Permintaan ikhlas kepada penonton papadom.Buat sesuatu yang luar Dari biasa. Lepas tonton papadom, jika anda menyukainya... SMS atau talifon bapa, ibu, isteri, awek, boyfren atau anak anda dan kata pada mereka yang anda sedang mengenang mereka dan anda sayang mereka. Anda Akan merasai sesuatu yang menakjubkan. Dan anda akan buat seorang budak gemuk teramat happy."
Power to the People. Love for all.
Afdlin Shauki
