Chep and Burn are top students in Sekolah Menengah Sultan Ahmad Tajuddin Mukarram Shah, an elite school in Kedah. Head Boy, Burn, is the school's golden boy and his best friend, Chep, is feared and respected by the younger boys for his quick temper and skill on the hockey field. The school is well respected for its strong academic and sports record. However the discovery of a dead prostitute in the abandoned railway tracks near their school unravels the status quo and we discover a less golden world of bullying, sex crimes and violence. Best friends William and Asif go from innocence to experience as they are forced to deal with the repercussions of the murder. But who is responsible for the murder and will they be held accountable?

Air Con challenges and interrogates the hypocritical habit of turning youth into scapegoats in times of moral panic. Ultimately, it casts a gentle albeit unflinching gaze at the perilous path of male adolescence, and interrogates the heartbreaking ways in which society often expects boys to become men.

Presented in Bahasa Malaysia (Kedah dialect) and English.
With English surtitles. For Mature Audiences.

cuti-cuti malaysia

during the thaipusam break last week, myself and missy olyn decided to drive down to our most fav place in the whole world and chill out with missy parviano at her crib at rantau laut..

on arrival on saturday, we went to the new mesra mall..which reminds me a lot of Dubai, not that i've been of course, but macam ala2 mall tepi padang pasir, even the logo and the jawi wordings of the name..

cooked that nite for the parv and her housemates..wanted to make roast chicken, the babes didnt have an oven in her house, so last2 grilled in the pan instead..i think it turned out pretty good (^_^) attempted to make pasta ala mr noriswadi (mana kah pictures makan2 itu?) but did not really turn out the same but i think it was pretty ok hehe :p

the next day we drove to Tanjung Jara Resort, the company is planning to have the family day there in May, and me as the event organiser (as usual!) have to be the planner and check out the place..verdict? gorgeous!!!! a definite honeymoon place!!!

next stop, tea at Aziz Satar, the SATAR place of Kemaman! had satars (of course!), otak2, laksam, sotong goreng celup tepung and ikan goreng celup tepung...yummmmmyyyyyyyy!!!!! and air kelapa of course!

after that we head on to Hai Peng for coffee..met Mat Min and the gang..i havent seen him in like, 3 years and he's still as funny as ever! then we drove to his place for asar and maghrib prayers, walked along the beach just a mere seconds from his front gate, Teluk Mok Nik (my mother's teluk hahaha)..

after playing with his comel niece and super hyper nephew, we drove to Mat Min's brother's restaurant at Yellow Town (Kemaman la tu..) the best thing about knowing the chef? first we get to sit anywhere we like i.e. we took a table and a couple of chairs and sat behind the kitchen where twas nice and windy and private :p and second, we get to order whatever we want! missy parveen asked the chef to "surprise her" and got a lovely concoction of cholocate strawberry drink! yummy!

monday morning we drove back to KL, but not before stopping at Hai Peng for breakfas, again with Mat Min..had nasi lemak ikan tongkol (or ikan ayo for the locals, tuna for the others)..

many pictures are with missy olyn and missy parvo...this is what i have so far..will update accordingly nanti okey (^_^)

Happy Friday Folks! (^_^)

At the end choose 16 people (16! sixteen! banyak nye!!) to be tagged, listing their names and why you chose them. Don’t forget to leave them a comment or tag them in your note to read this.

facts..

1. i have a fear of cats - and ive always thought that cats have got to be the most selfish and arrogant animal on earth..cats always look at you un-sincerely, like they only be your friend for a reason and the only time they are nice to you is when they want something..and then they scratch you!

2. i dont eat spicy food - unless its winter time (to keep warm hehe)

3. im terribly loyal, to the extend sometimes memakan diri sendiri..no need to explain lah enough for you to know that..

4. im very dramatic, sentimental and a hopeless romantic..which brings to no.5

5. i cry very easily...which brings us to no. 6

6. sangat cepat merajuk..especially with mr other half..he will testify on my frequency of merajuk vs per day hehe alah bukan merajuk lama pun kan syg kan kan :p

habits..

7. i must read something before i sleep..anything will do..ive even read my phone manual as bedtime story haha

8. i only use body shop lip balm - since i was 15 years old, never used anything else, not from the lack of trying but there's always something off with other brands..

9. i am now a green tea addict - this is on top of my five years love affair with Ribena :p

10. my clothes are color coordinated-ly arranged from dark to light

11. my books are arranged by size from biggest to smallest - and when im in freak mod, its also arranged by colors hehehe

goals..

12. im in the midst of completing my Phd proposal paper - planning to get my Phd by the age of 35 (wahh logic kah?)..i never thought i'd do Phd actually, my initial plan was only to go up to Masters but when i got that, i thought, 'what the hell, might as well go all the way!' :p

13. to buy a property by end of the year

14. to perform Haj by the age of 45

15. to write a novel (ecewahhh!) - note : "write" yer, not "publish" :p

16. to travel - at least two NEW locations per year.. this year will be to China and India..insyAllah (^_^)

wah..it only took me 10 minutes to do this! i need something else to distract me huhu

im tagging peeps in Facebook (^_^)

sakit gigi

i've got a really bad toothache :(

it was a mild one on sunday and escalated to a degree of unbearable pain today :(

im blogging from the office while waiting for my ride to arrive to go to the dentist...

do you know that the pain from a tooth aching is the second most horrible pain after giving birth? not that i can make a comparison but that's what they say..if this pain already cannot tahan, how to tahan giving birth?

why am i pondering on this issue yang takde kena mengena with my tooth?

must be the pain talking...

owwwww... :(
