One day went out swimming (bukan berenang pun, main air kat tepi-tepi tu aje..) Suddenly terlebih limit. Almost drown. Gelabah aku. TErpikir gak dosa-dosa..isk isk isk… Nasib baik aku pantas mencapai batu. Nasib baik tak mati. Lepas tu sepupu aku gelakkan aku. Ader ke patut.. SEriously I need to learn how to swim…
Finally its over: Mock Trial 2005 Phantom Reflections. After all the hard work, plus the obstacles, we made it! Once I told S.I, when will anybody film Sydney Sheldon’s Tell Me Your Dream and I even imagine Nicole Kidman or Angelina Jolie as Ashley, Toni and Alette. Now I can sit down and cherised everything, even though we didn’t make it as a movie, but at least a law play. I wrote it and I was in it! I should say thank you for all, especially the casts who made Phantom Reflections a reality to be remembered.
It all started when Hudazac told me this year’s mock trial was gonna be Sydney sheldon’s book and I even offered myself to help her unofficially (excluding my name coz I don’t wanna be attached). But it turned out all the scriptwriters withdrawn and Hudazac had to replace the position. She told me i should be a permanent one. Thinking Hudazac as my best friend, I agreed and together we scrutinized every inch of that book, with the help of Zuhairy, Zizau and Akmal Huda. It took one week to finish all the script and to develop the characters. Changing Western law into ours wasn’t that easy and Akmal Huda did a very brilliant job in doing that thang!
Then came the audition. The board - Me, Hudazac, Salwa, Zuhairy, Zizau, Akmal Huda and assistance from S.I (he got a good command of the character as well). Out of 20 multi-talented girls who turned up for the audition, we found 5 magnificent actresses - Lubna, Munibah, Nadiah, Elyna and Adora. We found 2 talented guys as well - Muzzil and Ben. But still, the audition left us with few characters not taken.
Practice went on just smooth. Obviously all of us were having fun. But still, we were worried coz some characters got no actors. So i volunteered to be the Public Prosecutor, Norman. Every nights passed by with a mixture of tense, happiness and sadness of being "bambu"ed. But alhamdulillah we managed to go through.
One of the memories that I love the most would be the shooting day. Instead, I consider that as an effective group binding. Wish that everyone was there. I got to know everybody much better.
On that very night, all of us did our very best. I can’t judge myself but others do and alhamdulillah, I received positive feedback of what I did.
Just like what others did, I had to bid goodbye to Norman (which I enjoyed being him sooo much - boleh maki orang sesuka hati) and others..
I’ll always remember:
1) Auditioning 20 magnificent girls
2) Finishing the scripts at econs cafe every evening
3) Personal talk with Dina, Ben, Munibah, Hudazac and Nadiah
4) The shooting day
5) Bambus by shukor and Sha
6) The night when I be like Krakatoa
7) Singing with all the casts - Leaving on a Jetplane (that shall the the soundtrack)
The last game of "Do You Like Me"
9) Wearing harry Potter’s jubah
10) Painting the three t Shirts with Aliff, Ben and Muzzil at 4 and then we massaged each other sementara tunggu Subuh… sat gi kalau tido, sure tak bangun punya…
Miss u guys… tunggu la review character daripadaku…
Finally, it’s over. But still, I’m gonna miss every moment that I’ve gone through. First of all I wanna say thank you to Shukor for making Mock Trial a reality this semester and all the committee. I wanna say thanks to Hudazac for giving me an opportunity to be one of the fab scriptwriters. Thanks to Taksub’s cast for their support. Last but not least, thanks to all the cast who make Phantom Reflections: Tell Me Your Dreams adaptation a reality.
I remembered the first time I joined this thing is because I wanted to help Huda and Salwa (they are among my best buddies!) and I even asked her not to include my name as the scriptwriter coz I juz simply wanna help. But it turned out that I should be the prominent one and we spent the whole week to finished the script and we managed to finish it in a week! Gua caya sama lu!! - Akmal Huda - Zuhairy - Zizau
Then we held an audition. Out of almost 20 outstanding girls, we found 5 magnificent girls - Lubna, Munibah, Nadiah, Elyna and Adora. After all, they did an excellent job and we are never wrong to choose you guys. Still, we couldn’t find Amy + Tasha + Aida. I fought to have Dina as Amy + Tasha +Aida. Thanks to Dina. Despite the fact that she’s damn busy, she’s willing to help us. And guess what? Last night was her night.
We also found 2 great guys, even though they reluctantly came for the audition - Muzil & Ben. Ben wanna quit at first but I beg him not to. Not because there won’t be other Faiz Mukhris ( boleh je cari mana-mana mamat kat aikol tu jadi Faiz Mukhris), but because Ban is Faiz Mukhris. Hudazac and I who developed the character of Faiz and we know the best person who deserved to be Faiz Mukhris. Thanks, Ben. I can see you enjoy yourself so much finally. Even if you thought that this won’t give any benefit to you, I guess now you are wrong. I can see you found something soooo precious to be cherished and I am happy for that. (It’s only me and you who understand this very line.)
Last minute cast who’s willing to help us would be Aliff, Dave, Shiman, Abg Roy, Linda (the iron lady - she did soooo much to help us), Nurin and Nad. Thanks! Korang telah menyelamatkan impian aku…
Tak lupa kepada mereka yang memahami aku - Shahir, Munie, Nuzul, Faiz, Adam, Daud, S.I… the list goes on… kalau aku tulis gak nanti terlepas kelas ICL 2…
But we still didn’t have the Public Prosecutor, Defense Counsel and Daniel. Maka melompatlah aku, Radziq dan Zuhairy menjadi among the casts. I hope that I did a good job, yesterday. So far they hated me and I am happy to hear that.
I’ll remember:
1) Finishing up the scripts withe the fabulous 5 in aikol cafe & econs.
2) Having a nice dinner with them at Jusco.
3) Having the audition
4) Training sebelah surau perempuan with games
5) Training at the mt court
6) Shooting dekat National Art Gallery
7) Shooting dekat Mirwana studio
Shooting dekat umah Faliq
9) Shooting at Jusco
10) Personal Conversation with Ben & Dina
11) Kena marah ngan Shukor & Sha
12) Final Game of "Do You Like Me" with all the casts.
13) The Actual Night.
I am Norman Bin Abdul Rahman, the Public Prosecutor. For me, this is definitely a walk to be remembered.
I missed so many things lately. I missed hanging out with members of the MUNKAR CLUB or known as SHAMS. I missed my family. I missed my paintings. I missed hanging out with Strippers, Pimp & Buaya (you know who u r). I missed going to the library and meet my old friends. I missed almost everything. But don’t get me wrong, I don’t blame Mock Trial. Mock Trial is my life. I know it’s not a good one to be compared to Maunah or Mona Fendi but still, I consider myself had work real hard, and so everybody else.
So many things happen lately.. I was served with two cups of coffee. One coffee is good for health and another one is going to drive me crazy and killed me later on. I’m in for the first coffee but still, I’m enticed by the second one, it is so irresistable. I don’t know why. I hope that I’ll get rid of the second coffee but I can’t. Surely I won’t let go the first one. I’m tired! Why do this things have to happen???? I don’t want to face a situation where I have to choose between two things. I hate to choose!!
Study had been at the lowest priority lately. I’m not focused in class. I missed so many classes that I’m entitled to be barred. Dur!! I don;t even know why, rage and hatred reigned since few days ago… I tried to hide it from my friends but still they realize. Well… life always sucks and makes me grow up.
Since few days ago, our atmosphere has become quite unhealthy and I am speaking of the haze. And it’s getting worst day by day. (Wondering when will UIA declare emergency and we can go home..dur..and hope it’ll take place during the unbelievable test week!) - this shows how narrow my mind had be. You see, me, being a student… study, join programme, tense and get pissed all the time… made the functioning of my mind confined to what I see in my surroundings… I don’t really give a damn what da “tut” is going on out there.
Until I entered into my EAP class this morning, Mr Azman (which I happened to hate him the most) made me think about the future… See the pictures up there? Why on earth do you think I put those pic?
Petrol had been an issue lately. Up to this extent, most people (I think) can tolerate with the price, but bear in mind, our ministers always remind us to get ready and adapt ourselves to the possibility of the price to go higher and higher. Question : Why the price had to go higher?
I answered, to support the subsidi given by our government… He replied: That is what they tell you. But is that the basis of the truth?
He explained, Petrol is a source of energy… and I doesn’t come in handy… very limited edition in fact. However the world’s demand on petrol is non-stop. No alternative source to replace petrol for the time being. Some people with powers start to think… what is the best solution to solve this shit? To add another problem - de-population (increasing of number of people in this world)…
Bush arrived at a brilliant idea of invading Iraq with good cover: war against terrorism. (aku bagi 8.5/10 untuk Bush) Did they find anything in relation to terrorism? No. But they got the minyak kat saner…
Bush said: “God! This is still not enough! What can we do? I know! We eradicate all the demand! But how to eradicate demand? By killing some people!!! And then the petrol will be enough to support me!”
11th September… who did that?
Tsunami… is it really the work of God, or it is well-arranged? I don’t have the answer…. But it successfully eradicate demands in a way.
London… who did that?
Mr Azman : do you think that we are safe? Something is coming at the end of the year, and it is not good… doomsday is coming and are you prepared for it?
How can you survive? You can survive by growing up. Growing up to be an adult. Being an adult, being responsible. But still, can you define cruelty? What is the point of having knowledge? To know God and to know the truth. So follow the truth and follow your God….

Semalam hari yang aku sangat pressure!!! Aku macam tak boleh terima hakikat that I am a living person! And the big problem is that I don’t even know what is my real problem!
Start dengan kelas EAP. I made a list of topic for my task. But all were rejected! EAP concept is to do anything related to kuliyyah, the unbeloved Ahmad Ibrahim Kuliyyah Of Laws. Aku dah list relevant topics dah, and all of them were rejected without valid justifications! “You have to write on something which is beneficial to the society, and not only law students want to read your writing. And I want current issue. *%^*&^$#%^#$%#$%#$^!!! If you want really current issue, I’ll send today’s Metro in front of your door. Satisfied?
Then Tutor K.A. I attend the class tapi dia tak amik markah aku. What’s your problem? Is it because I didn’t turn up for the 2nd and 3rd tutorial which I believe you won’t take into consideration my valid reason simply because you want to make your life much easier? Aku tak suka marah-marah lecturer ni sebab ikut pengalaman aku, kalau aku benci dengan lecturer tu, markah aku selalu jadik sikit.
Banyak lagi konflik yang aku tak larat nak menaip dah…
Malam semalam plak mock trial. Aku tak nak berlakon but I have to in order to save the play. Tinggal 2 minggu jek lagi. &$%&&%^!!!
But yesterday, I have a heart to heart conversation with a good friend of mine, Ben. We discovered so many things about life and how to appreciate it… 2 hours of me totally being myself. Thanks, bro…
Tengahari gi bilik ADR. Jumpa all my beloved siblings here. Being a baby in the family of course makes me feel a lot more “cuter”. Ahaks.. poyo nye aku… Quoting Kak Nani’s “Kita memang poyo gilergh pun. Baru tahu ke?”
But I agree with Kak Nani, that night was a blast. We were having enough fun. (Despite the fact that I am having a legal chaos in my stomach..grr.. lapar…)
Tapi kita kena ingat satu benda sajalah… Allah tak akan burdern kita dengan benda yang kita tak dapat nak handle. He knows almost everything dan kita tak boleh interfere dengan urusan-NYA…
Thanks to Kak Nani, Kak Salimi, Abg Hasmie, Ben, for you guys punya support directly or indirectly..
Do I have a crush on her? Do I? Am I? Am I ready for her? It’s not a monkey business, so better see like an adult, enough being a baby! Dilemma!!!
I woke up late this morning at 9. Miss Consti mass lecture (sigh..) Company law class was cancelled and replaced at 1, which causes me to have a non-stop class from 11 am - 6 pm. Duh! I met Mdm Jun kat dalam lif. Daud menjadi saksi apa yang berlaku…
Mdm Jun : Still dalam Dean’s list ke?
Me : Dah terkeluar la Madam..
Mdm Jun : O.. macam Afundi Keluar la ni? (gelak)
Me : (Gelak jugak) GPA dah tak dapat Dean’s List dah, tapi kalau CGPA still DL lagi.. Kalau saya main-main lagi sem ni, sure terkeluar terus.
Mdm Jun : Kalau CGPA still in DL takpe.. yang itu yang kita nak nengok. Kalau nak keluar dari DL, AKTIFLAH LAGI!! (zasssss!!!!!!!!!) Tak masuk apa-apa ke lagi sem ni? Convest ke? Apa ke? (She knows I’m in millef and mooting)
Me : Ada… mock trial..
Mdm Jun : I dah agak dah… nak jugak join… wajibul ghunnah.. nak jugak tunjuk muka… (zasss again!!!)
Well, bestnyer kena laser dengan mdm.. haha… tapi aku bukannya typical student yang just go to class, salin note, then balik bilik hafal note.. dur?!! Pathetic! I need the practical skills dan itu yang UIA students are lack of today (as what Ust Wan Azhar said..)
Various emotions linger in me lately. I feel sad and pissed on one side and on the other side, I’m enjoying every moment of my life. Many things took place so sudden that I just can’t cope with each and every single one of them.
Post - Asst Head Com Program Coordinator Millef 05. What did I do? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Only Shahir and Murnie stood together and I did nothing. Really. Just simply dropping by the OR , checking the files and then I’m out. I didn’t really sit down together with both of the heroes to discuss any problems about this Millef thing. I know nothing about MILLEF 05. My justification would be, sub-programs have their own PC, and let them manage their own tasks and solve own problems. When they are in total shit, then we’ll come and help. We just coordinate (as what some LAWSOCkers said) But it turned out that Central had to do almost everything, including “Cat banner for sub-program”? I hope they will understand. It’s either they can’t tolerate no more or I’ve already excessively exceeding the limit. Either way, I got myself to blame. My fault, my mistake, my everything… Orang kata aku tak buat keje, tempah nama jek untuk PC Central Millef ni… well, memang betul pun. aku memang relaks je, tak buat apa-apa… puas hati???
Then I’m in the mooting group. 50% tension coz I have to prepare and present something aku tak belajar lagi - EVIDENCE. 4th year punya subjek. It is not good to talk about something that you don’t know. But another 50% I am having fun coz my sis and bro in mooting are very understanding and supportive in whatever I am doing. They helped me a lot and I learned from them a lot. Some people said and I overheard “They win simply because Nani and Asnur were there” Maybe it’s true and maybe they are wrong. But some pigs “oink” too much You got to let them be in their mud.
And then come the mock trial. I am no good in writing scripts but what makes me proud is because our team manage to catch up since we do not have much time. Salwa is doing great in handling the celebrities. Kenapa tak ada kerusi macam betul-betul dalam court? Huh! Jangan harap nak beraksi ala-ala dalam court masa latihan kalau ekspresi muka dan voice projection pun tak settle lagi… Whether you like a specific person in the group or not, set that aside.. be profesional. Bende2 private ni letak tepi la… Tu pun nak ajar… (geleng kepala…)
To be continued….
But for certain, malam ni aku nak gi ke Konsert Kemuncak AF dengan Mak Setan, Mak Ayam dan Buaya.
