Artsy Bitsy

I don’t know why I have such a craze on arts. It seems that every where I go there’s something beautiful to watch, to understand, to realize the effort one put is such piece. Maybe I’m just in a world of my own I don’t know. Ill try to stay intact with the world. But it’s more to life than what we see, what we have and what we want. So I’m taking plenty of time to appreciate the work of people, and further more the work of God who created people. It gives me the chilled to realize how small we are to be such arrogant being.

I suppose I was surrounded with artistic people. Thanks for influencing me. It makes me open up my eyes to the beauty of art. Don’t care weather its writing and performing (mummy), drawings and design (isha uitm) or even music and melodies (aina). Thank you to each and one of you and other else (who I failed to mention) for opening up my mind to a new horizon especially in your field.

Last night I went and escort my mum to watch this beautiful theater call “Mana Setangginya”. The title came without a question mark. How the heck are you suppose to say it out.? It’s written by the legendary Dato Nordin Hassan one of Sastrawan Negara Malaysia that covers the performing arts. The script was made 10 years ago. Surprisingly they manage to put up the show in Istana Budaya. It’s been along wait.

Mum watch it 4 times as she is going to make reviews out of it. Ps: one of her review is already on Sundays newspaper. Yeah she’s very detail on doing her work. I must blame her for making me not enjoying the movie as a normal person. There’s a lot of comedy acts that were in between those serious lines. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good stage play. But mum always told me, when you look into something, analyze it in different angle. Like lighting, body gesture, dialog, monolog, set, flow of storyline, and character building. To get a group of people to react in different form and motion in one huge stage is really a hassle. Congrats to the director too. Manage to sit down with him before the show. He even gave a glance of what he has in mind of the opening act should be. But cant do it as they dot have the technology to do that. But still I try to imagine it in my mind and say “it’ll be beautiful”.

Ill be heading to Urbanscape this weekend. Hope yall could join me celebrating Malaysian Arts finest. Hope to see you around…

Sayang,
Tq for coming with me to Istana Budaya. I see that you are observant and listened to lots of things I blabber about the arts! You understand lots of things I said reading from your little comments about Mana Setanginya.Sorry because I never really pay attention to the little budding artsy things inside you. Sorry for making you not enjoying movies the way normal movie goers do!It would be much simpler I think! But sayang,now I understand where those creative energy juices coming from!!!Again, no pressure from mummy ok? Be your own person. You are wonderful since the first time I held you during the first few minutes of your life in St.George Hospital, Sydney.
