What Do You Think?

I'm still looking for ideas for my upcoming documentary. So funnylah, when I say Upcoming Documentary when I don't even a subject to be documented.

I'm thinking to make a documentary about gay muslims in KL but I think it's a bit too bold. I've never come across social documentaries in Malaysia so... but IF I make the documentary, I think I will get more eggs splattered on my car on a regular basis.

What do you think? Should I proceed with Gay EL?

Kena Rasuk

I saw a lady who was supposedly possessed by a jin today. She was in her sister's car and was ready to take off from their home until she suddenly became violent and screeched her heart out. A school girl (probably her niece) rushed back inside and called for an elderly man.

The elderly man talked to the jin and again, she was in a fit. She slapped the old man's hand with the elegance of a mak yong dancer. The old man held her hands and mumbled Quranic verses. I videotaped the whole incident from my window but I don't think it's appropriate to upload it in youtube. I edited the videos into a 5 minute documentary and even included spooky background music. Hobby.

Although I acknowledge the existence of Jin I do not believe that we human beings are capable of being possessed by jin. During the ottoman empire period, it was believed that patients with epilepsy is possessed by jin and the only cure is exorcism. Today we know that epilepsy is caused by brain damage.

In my opinion, people who are possessed by jin has psychological problems like bipolar disoder or depression. Since malay muslims are not keen of seeking proper help when a family member has mental problems, they opt for traditional treatment usually done by bomohs or ustazs. It works wonders for some and others are left jaded by the prospect of ever inviting a religious looking man into their homes.

For those who were cured by bomohs, what can I say. Faith is a powerful thing. The human mind is capable of things we can never imagine or anticipate.

This is why magical spells are only effective when used against or for people who believes in the supernatural. This is why Daniel Radcliffe tak kena sampuk and Saiful Apek had to go to Indonesia to berubat. This is why Miley Cyrus Anti-fans can only send hateful comments on her youtube videos and Ziana Zain had to put an invisible wall around her house.

I've written 888 blog entries today! Here's a picture that sent me rolling on the floor before an unrecognised hand handed me an inhaler.

Happy 888 afiqsays.blogspot.com!

Next!

To be hurt by the truth is better than being comforted with lies. I learned that line from the novel Kite Runner. If you haven't read a good book lately I highly recommend Khaled Hosseini's Kite Runner. I finished the novel in a week, which didn't beat my record time for Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban when I was 15.

After a week of Pashtun, Kabob and Taliban, I think I'm ready for the Booker of Bookers, the greatest novel in 25 years: Midnight Children by Salman Rushdie.

I've a feeling this book will change my opinion of Salman Rushdie forever. I've been holding back from reading any Rushdie's books since Satanic Verses. But then again, I thought, Kite Runner was also banned in some countries. I drew a simple conclusion, the banning of good novels is mostly political, not religion related.

And yep, no conclusion for this blog entry.

Bawah Itu Pisau

Have you ever wanted to go under the knife? Eh bukan itulah! Itu dah settle. I'm talking about plastic surgery.

I know its forbidden and all, but almost all famous artistes did/does/still doing it. If you think men can be excluded from this sweeping statement, think again.

If I were to go under the knife, I want to.... do something about my.... lips. It's not symmetrical. When I purse my lips, it looks like an imperfect heart symbol. I know a lot of people who would like to have something done on them. I mean, Jaejoong of DBSK for example looked like this before his debut:

He has a beautiful voice, true. But a beautiful voice is no guarantee for a pop career. A quick snip on the eyes and nose later...

From Jaejoong the singing dork from highschool to DBSK's Hero!

Even if I really take this plastic surgery thing seriously, I don't think I will ever have the balls to have my face done. Not in a million years. But if there is a technology that allows people to have fake plastic surgery like having mirrors in the house that enhances selected features on the face, I would definitely change my lips. Oh yeah, while I'm at it, a set of bigger eyes would be great too.
