Upcoming Mukhsin

My entire family seems to be down with some sort of flu, cough, fever, or any combination of the three, save for me and my house manager (that’s the term my mum used to describe our kakak, whom I think deserved better than what I thought, for no apparent reason, was a rather derogatory term that is ‘maid’).

Either I’m cooped up in my own room too much performing rudimentary task that is researching for assignments (not all the time lah, but deadlines are nearing and I’d be lying if I say that I’m not rushing to meet them), or maybe I’ve been going out too much, that made me escape from the clutches of all said virii.

My mum questioned me yesterday, quite out of the blue, if I ever regretted taking up Business since my first choice was Mass Comm. I mouthed almost immediately, “NO”, because.. for some reason I just feel that I might be taking on the right path. I still have visions of my football-themed restaurant/caf? floating in my head, ideas laid out - reasonable or fantastical, I don’t know - and I think I’ll put it down on a piece of paper soon so I don’t forget it.

All would be perfect if only I’ve the money as the capital to run it, and maybe get some friends to be my partners in crime. I think that’s what kept me going, even subconsciously, as one of my motivations to study Business. I don’t know about you guys, but don’t you have that tiny voice inside of you screaming to set up a stall or shop or restaurant or company of any sort?

It’s still a dream, see. Because if I can’t be my own boss, I might as well work for people. Or something.

And, when blog-hopping I found something that lightened up my day a little.

Mukhsin. Yasmin Ahmad’s upcoming movie (no idea on its release date, maybe by end of this year), and I most certainly will watch it any costs. Tagline may not be as poignant as Gubra’s - Why do we hurt the most, the ones we love the most? - and poster may not be as emotive as Gubra’s, but I love it to bits.

It’s a story about first love. The setting was sunny and serene, at a paddy field, and the love interest of Mukhsin is Orked, played by Sharifah Amani’s sister.

I need to start finding people to drag to the cinema to watch this with me.
