Moshi! Moshi!

Basikal. Main mode of transportation
Stesyen keretapi near my hotel

Hi there it has been an interesting trip to fukuoka thus far because there have been loads of stuff happening. Besides the film festival there is also a cultural exchange programme with thailand and India.... really cool. So everyday ada dance and other performances there.
El Gala Hall in the background. In the foreground the fukuoka people celebrate asian cultural diversity
Thai meets India in japan
Interview with J-COM tv... out in the open, in front of city hall

Some really great movies from Asia, termasuk juga some from iran and iraq. Memang menarik melihat filem diorang kerana ianya memberi gua sedikit insight on how they think and since their movies are mostly about human issues, a little bit how the people live in that part of the world. Walaupun iraq sedang menghadapi kesusahan gua amat kagum yang karyawan mereka tak give up berkarya. More power to them.
Next to me a member of the Fukuoka film commision yang banyak membantu kita dalam penggambaran SUMO di Jepun.
A Malaysian student in Fukuoka who helped us out during the shoot dulu in a clip they played on J-COM tv live.
Cun jugak presenter jepun yg baju pink ni. nasib baik puasa.
Haha gua dapat elmo untuk Anais!!!
Depa kata ada Typhoon coming .... tak taula macam mana


Sekarang ni gua nak menjemput sesiapa rakyat Malaysia (student or otherwise) yang berada di Fukuoka dan yang belum sempat menonton filem Sumolah untuk datang esok ke El' Gala Hall 17 hb September, pukul 7.00pm. Sebuah lagi filem dari malaysia arahan Deepak Kumaran Menon 'Dancing Bells' akan dimainkan pukul 10.30am on the 18th, juga di El Gala Hall. Sumollah ataupun LET's SUMO (japanese title) juga akan di mainkan on the 21st September di Solaria Cinema 1 at 4.00pm and again on the 24th Sept at the Nishitetsu Hall at 1.15pm

Kodok-kodok di Malaysia kalau u all ada member kat sini... please holla kat depa kalau nak tengok something from home. If they come tomorrow, we can meet up and borak or buka sesama.
Today i watched the presentation of 'Season's Change' from Thailand at the Solaria cinema
Gua dan orang-orang jepun yang mukanya blur.
Aktres filem Thai 'Season's change'
Inilah Solaria Cinema hall 1 yang dipenuhi about 200 people yang menonton filem thai itu
Gua di depan lokasi 'kelab jiwa luka, tempat' gua, pacai dan awie selalu lepak lepas shooting dan berkongsi masaalah. di seberang jalang Nishitetsu Grand Hotel.

Miss my family at home. Hope everyone is ok. My phone charger still belum sampai mama.
Hope the rest of you are all safe and happy. Chow chin chow. Assalamualaikum.

hey there is and update...yea yea...like fun only..

Afdlin,

I'm trying to get in touch with our very own industri filem tanahair. Is there any premiere or show going on in this part of the world?

London is convenient enough for rakyat Malaysia in the UK to go to so... suggestion is: say if you want to premiere your next movie next year, make it a point to gather the whole nation in the UK to watch it during Merdeka weekend perhaps?

You will definitely make it a hit.

Bro...

i pun pikir kelab "jiwa luka" tu macam smacam jek....feel dia tu lain ek....seram sejuk pun ada...bahang pun ada...fening-fening pun ada...jiwa nak makan ter lebih pun ada...

I ingat kalau di kumpul kan ahli kelab boleh bikin movie or sit-com [ budgetkan or tak nak risky sgt] ...yang maintain luka...yg dah cross over...yg dah under ground...yg ter-tobat...ter-masak masak...yg ter-lost world..yg macam-macam yang la...yg ter..ter..semua ada...

Tapi itu semua mungkin jek la....sebab masalah jiwa ni macam keadaan cuaca...berubah-rubah...ibarat tukang masak reka menu kat cafe tu...

Bro...keadaan cuaca skang ni panasnye....boleh panggil hujan tak...i need cooling effect....u know the "C" Major....

Kalau tak paham tak pe...i need ice itu jek......

Brader Afdlin,
semoga kehadiran brader di Jepun dapat membuka mata orang jepung yang malaysia juga mampu bikin movie yang gempak-gempak.
One small step of a man, but a large one for the Malaysia nation.

Abg Afdlin, as a Malaysian I am so so proud of you! But don't work too hard la ok. Anyway, ur a man with a heart of gold and God will help people like you. Kerana Allah melihat pada hati bukan pada luaran kita. God Bless!

KISAH SEORANG KONTRAKTOR CINA DENGAN PEKERJA INDONESIA YANG BERAGAMA ISLAM

Setiap hari tauke tersebut, memerhatikan pekerja Indonesia yang beragama Islam itu, melakukan sembahyang zuhur dan asar. Pada suatu hari tauke tersebut bertanya kepada pekerjanya:

Tauke: “Ei..lu ha…hali-hali celita sama Tuhan apa bikin? Itu Tuhan Alla ada cakap sama lu ka? Dia pun tak mau dengar lu punya cakap la. Lu mau lengar Dia punya cakap ka atau itu Tuhan Alla mau dengar lu punya cakap? Lu juga cakap sama Dia… Dia tak da apa cakap pun sama lu. Gua pun manyak helan sama lu. Wa tengok ha…lu hali-hali mintak sama Dia. Itu Tuhan Alla ada kasi sama lu ka? Haiyaa…Lu hali-hali mintak apa bikin…? Lu pun talak dengar Dia punya cakap. Keleja pun talak bikin. Siapa mau kasi sama lu? Lu tak payah mintak sama Dia la, lu mintak sama wa pun wa boleh kasi punya. Lu talak bikin keleja sapa mau kasi sama lu? Lu ikut itu saja Tuhan Alla punya cakap. Lu bikin keleja saja, apa Dia suluh. Lu tak payah mintak, Dia misti kasi punya. Selupa wa juga. Lu bikin keleja, gua misti kasi punya. Lu bikin keleja dulu la. Lu tak payah mintak wa misti kasi punya. Haiya…Lu apa macam ingat, itu Tuhan Alla? Lu ada kenai sama Dia ka? Lu manyak boloh punya olang. Lu tak payah bikin itu semayang la. Bikin wa lugi meniaga punya..sikijap-sikijap mau semayang..Ini macam gua punya kelija tak boleh siap woo..haiyaa…manyak susah ini olang. “Nang bo tinang, Kui Bo tikoi.” Olang bukan olang, hantu bukan hantu..’

Begitulah kisah ringkas di antara tauke cina itu dengan pekerja Indonesia yang beragama Islam tersebut.

I agree that some of the great movies come from Iran. Unlike many malaysian movie that were based on love stories, Iranian movies focus on their hardship and tragic life. Some film are just simple perspective yet so enchanting.
