Dulu-dulu, orang Melayu ni miskin

Ceti juga digambarkan sebagai lelaki India yang berkain putih dan mengelek payung hitam ke hulu ke hilir.

Dulu-dulu, mana ada PNB (1978). Dulu-dulu mana ada ASN (1981). Dulu-dulu, mana ada ASB (1990). Dulu-dulu, mana ada Along Bukit Beruntung (90-an - present). Dulu-dulu, kalau nak pinjam bank - kena ada penjamin, kena letak sandaran - dan, orang Melayu ni tak ada tempat nak bersandar, apatah lagi tempat nak bergantung harap.

Abah nak bina rumah 'haram'. Tapi, macam orang-orang Melayu lain - abah miskin, tak cukup duit, pencen sol-jah berapa sen lah sangat. Mak kata, "Tu la... dulu suruh mintak Felda - tak mau! Kalau tak... kita dah senang dah, dah ada rumah sendiri dah!" Abah campak rokok Gold Leaf ke tanah, putungnya masih berasap, bengganglah tu, konon.

10 Fact About You

Nak Cite Pun Malas

Pada masa dahulu, ada sebuah kampung di mana semua rakyatnya amat rajin belaka tidak ada yang malas. Jadi pada suatu hari, rajanya membuat pengumuman hendak mencari seorang yang malas.

Semasa perhimpunan itu, adalah seorang lelaki mengaku, katanya, “Patik adalah yang paling malas.” Raja pun bertanya, “Apa tahap malas tuan hamba?” Lalu jawab lelaki tersebut, “Kalau patik hendak makan, ada orang yang suapkan patik.”

Tiba-tiba datang seorang lelaki lagi lalu berkata, “Patik lebih malas lagi daripada dia tuanku.” Tuanku pun bertanya kepadanya, “Sampai mana pulak tahap malas tuan hamba?” Maka jawabnya, “Kalau patik makanpun, sampai ada orang tolong kunyahkan.”

Maka raja pun terdiam seketika. Tanpa disangka² datang seorang budak lelaki kepadanya sambil berkata,

“Patik adalah yang paling malas tuanku.” Raja pun bertanya, “Bagaimana pula tahap kemalasan kamu si budak?” Budak itu pun menjawab, “Nak cite pun malas.”

10sen pun nak menipu!!!

Alangkah best kalau aku ade sebijik macam ni kat rumah.. memang aku nak bawak then pegi tembak je apek kedai runcit yang bingai nak mampos.. 

ade ke patut kat depan aku pun dia nak pun menipu.. dia ingat aku budak sekolah kot? memang laa aku tukar syiling kat kedai dia banyak.. tapi tak payah laa tipu time kira duit syiling tu.. walaupun seposen jer.. tapi tipu tetap menipu.. kalau dengan aku dia tipu seposen dengan orang lain tak taw laa brapa untung dia dah buat dengan menipu cara macam tu... 

nasib baik dari zaman bapak aku jadi customer atuk dia sampai atuk dia dah mati, ganti bapak dia.. then dia yang jaga kedai tu... kire dah macam regular customer dah family aku dengan apek ni... tapi tu pun nak menipu jugak.. adehh... tu lah ada kedai melayu.. berniaga macam nak tak nak... kejap buka kejap tutup... pastu barang itu takde ini takde... 

heee... memang aku tembak jugak kedai apek ni... 

Puasa.. dah tiba lagi ... Yeah!!

Bulan Puasa dah nak dekat!! tak berapa hari je lagi kita nak sambut puasa... macam biasa merata ceruk akan tumbuh bazar2 ramadhan macam cendawan lepas hujan.. 

Yang pastinya sekarang ni memang dah takde lagi dah ruang kalau baru berniat nak buka gerai di bazar ramadhan.. lupe je laa hasrat tu.. sebab rasanya yang dah dapat lesen berniaga di bazar pun apply hampir sebulan lepas.. 

aku rasa dah berapa kali puasa aku amatlah malas nak ke bazar ramadhan.. boleh bilang dengan jari lah berapa kali aku keluar ke bazar ramadhan ... tambah2 nak pegi sorang2 memang tak lah.. tak berapa nak suka sangat dengan keadaan sesak2 macam tu.. 

dah tu nak beli pun nak kena beratur panjang.. then berebut lagi.. macam tak cukup makan? mungkin aku lebih suka berbuka dengan cara paling simple.. kurma dengan kuih sikit kalau ada kuih lah.. then dengan air.. enough for me.. 

First Guerrilla Photography Exhibition!!

What is a Guerrilla Photography Exhibition?

A Guerrilla Photography Exhibition is a freestyle exhibition. There are no Curators involve in curating the exhibits from the Organisers. The Organisers will only provide an exhibition space and guidelines for the Exhibitors to exhibit their work. Each Exhibitor has to curate his/her own photos to be exhibited. By not having Curators to curate the exhibition, this freestyle exhibition is considered as a visual democracy akin to free speech. Every Exhibitor is given the right to choose whatever they want their viewers to see.

Why is there a need for this style of exhibition?

Nowadays, with the advance of the digital age, it has created so many photographers. Digital cameras are now within the reach of the masses. Most photographers would just shoot, save their images on hard drives, process some low resolution images to be shared on the internet.
There are however very few avenues to showcase their works in prints. It is a total new experience to take the images out of the computer into a physical print form.

The Organisers recognised the need for a venue to allow individuals to showcase their artistic expressions through the lens. What better avenue than an exhibition space at the heart of Kuala Lumpur.

Where is the location?

The First Guerrilla Photography Exhibition in Malaysia is to be held at Avenue K. Avenue K is situated in a premier commercial location just across the road from the most recognisable iconic building in Malaysia, the Twin Towers of KLCC. The LRT (Light Rail Transit) Station is just two floors below the exhibition venue. You cannot get a better venue to express your artistic works for FREE.

When is it?

The Guerrilla Photography Exhibition is to be held from the 11th August to 15th September 2012. There will be four change overs during this period ie. we will have four sets of Exhibitors during this period.

• The first period is from 11th to 26th August
