白雪不是公主 诱惑の香り Snow White is Not a Princess




这一部短片很有办法,跟泰国那个 Pantene 洗发精广告一样,三分钟内就把我弄哭了。
This video, like the Thailand Pantene advertisement, is capable of making me cry within three minutes.

2:37分的时候,我就猜到拉玛的屋子会被拆。邱琬婷,为什么你会这么聪明的?
During 2:37, I had guessed that Rama’s house will be disassembled. Yew Wan Ting, why are you so smart?



大马有这样的事情发生吗?我不清楚,因为我住的地方不会发生这样的事。不过我不能忘记的,是我六年级一月头开学的时候,我亲眼目睹坐在我前面的那一位男同学的屋子被大火慢慢地吞没。那一天炎炎的中午,我们讨论着科学习题,课室外的非法屋传来一股烧焦味。那一天我们期待着下课后食堂的炸鸡翅,那一天他抱着科学廖老师放声大哭,那一天他喊着不要不要不要把我的家给烧掉。

Does this happen in Malaysia? I have no idea, because this will not happen in the area I live in. What I could not forget is that when school starts in January when I’m in standard six, I witnessed how the house of my classmate was burned down by the cruel fire. On that hot afternoon we were discussing some questions on science, when all of a sudden we smell something burned from the illegal houses outside our classroom. On that day we were expecting to eat fried chicken wing during recess, on that day he hugged our science teacher and cried, on that day he was screaming “no please not my house!”

我还记得隔天我妈妈让我带去学校的橙黄色罐子是Nestle牌的
I remember the next day my mother let me brought a orange-yellow Nestle tin to school
我记得走完全校去筹款原来需要四节的时间
I remember it took four periods to walk the whole school asking for donation
我记得那一天过后我一个星期都没看过他
I remember a week after that accident I had not had a chance to see him at all
我记得我们假期时常都会踏脚车到学校后面的马来甘榜去吹风
I remember we always cycle to the Malay village behind our school to chill out during holiday
我记得他的妈妈曾经在电话里叫我不要整天跟他聊电话
I remember his mother asked me to not chat with him on the phone through a phone call
我记得有一天我在吃晚饭的时候他突然打电话来说他妈妈刚去世了以后都不会有人再骂我了
I remember one day when I was having my dinner, he suddenly called to tell me his mother had passed away and he won’t have anyone to scold him anymore



那一天他爸爸亲手建的屋子没了,他妈妈过世前仅有的照片也在大火里化为灰烬了。
That day, the house his father built was destroyed, and his mother’s only picture was burned into a crisp.

大火吞没没理由,消防员要五千块的喝茶钱也没理由。
There’s no reason for fire to occur, there’s no reason for fire brigades to ask for RM 5000 for bribery.
 

就像《圣经·马太福音》中的一则寓言所提及的“马太效应”(Matthew Effect),好的越好,坏的越坏。贫者愈贫,富者愈富,穷人说话没人听……
It’s just like Matthew Effect as explained in Bible: the good gets better, the bad gets worse. The poor gets poorer, the rich gets richer, the poors are never heard…

看了Amir Muhammad的《The Tree》后,Tuan Guru Nik Aziz这位精神领袖已经变成了我的超级偶像了。这真的是一部好作品,好访问,好对谈。我不明白为何它的点击率远远不比前面的那两部高。不过,我懂得欣赏,有像我这般水准的观众懂得欣赏其实已经很够了。(眨眨眼)
After I watched The Tree, directed by Amir Muhammad, Tuan Guru Nik Aziz becomes my idol. Once again, I shall comment that this is an excellent and inspired clip however it received low hit points compare to previous clips, but it gained a niche of good qualities audiences, like me. *Blink.

今年5月假期,我叫了车,准备出门办点东西。路上跟马来司机聊了很多,聊到了Pahala,聊到al-Quran、Sunnah、Akidah、Syariah、Akhlak,最后谈到了现今穆斯林世界所面对的问题。
By this May break, I called for transport through taxi. On the way I discussed various topics with that Malay driver, from Pahala to current Muslim issues.



我很惊讶,因为连一个司机叔叔的视野都这么宏观,对友族同胞都这么真实坦白,外国游客来到马来西亚,又刚好上了这辆大哥的车,一定会觉得马来西亚的人文素养很高,回去各自的国家大赞特赞,你说,到时我们的旅游业能不发吗?!
It’s surprised me that a driver possessed a magnificent views and sincerities toward others. Perhaps, if foreigners take his transport, it might boost up a positive view of foreigners toward Malaysians, and this might positive chain reacts to our nation travel industry as well, maybe.



惊讶归惊讶,我又继续问他:“叔叔,你的意思是,大马领袖没有依据阿拉法律生活吗?” 他心平气和地说:“不是的,我的意思是,整个穆斯林世界。” 他又说,“你知道为何全世界的人都把穆斯林当恐怖份子,那是因为人们不再依据阿拉的律法,而不是因为回教本身的问题。”
Nevertheless, I enquired his opinion in consequence, “Sir, by your all means, our leaders disobeyed the God’s laws?” He expressed calmly, “No, my point of view is, THATS an issue among the whole Muslims.”




当要进入正题的时候,我下车了。是的,聊了这么多,你想怎样?德士钱很贵的。我给了叔叔十二块钱,这是平常的价钱,他又给回了我两块钱,说:“算你十块好了,作为你大学Islam科拿到A的鼓励。^_^” 我笑着对他说:“回教本身其实是好的,只是很多人都误解了它。”
I arrived my destination while we just about right in to the topic. Yes indeed, it’s time, and I paid for 12 ringgit for taxi fare, which is normal fare for that distance. But, he took only 10 ringgit and said, “This is my rewards for you that you get an A for your Islamic paper.” And I smiled, replied, “You are right, just about many people misinterpreted about Islam, and in fact Islam itself is a great religion.” 


因为Islam Paper拿A的关系,我时常搭德士都可以省几块钱。喂,你不要小看这几块钱,算得来真的有数计!
Well, I saved a budget for taxi fare due to my ace in Islamic paper, and it’s accumulated until now, a large number to be.

短片中2:42开始有说到一个关于Ibadah的,我在去年第一学期也有读过。
Recall my remembrance about that clip, which it does, mentioned the concept of Ibadah and I learned it before in previous semester.

Tujuan hidup manusia adalah beribadah kepada Allah SWT. Konteks ibadah dalam Islam sangat luas kerana ia tidak terbatas kepada upacara ritual semata-mata, sebaliknya semua aktiviti yang dilakukan dengan niat bagi mendapat keredaan Allah SWT dikira ibadah. Ia manifestasi kesyukuran kepada Allah SWT atas segala nikmat serta sebagai bukti kepercayaan kepada-Nya kerana pengakuan beriman tanpa disertai dengan amal ibadah belum cukup bagi menunjukkan keimanan yang sebenar. Firman Allah SWT dalam al-Quran yang bermaksud:

“Destiny of mankind is to be faithful with God. The Islamic content of faith is wide since it’s not only restricted to the rituals and ceremonies, but for all events that pleased the God considered faithful.


“Padahal mereka tidak disuruh kecuali supaya menyembah Allah dengan penuh keikhlasan, ketaatan kepada-Nya dalam menjalankan agama dengan lurus, dan supaya mereka mendirikan solat dan menunaikan zakat, dan yang demikian itulah agama yang lurus.”
          (Al-Bayyinah:5)

It expressed a manifestation of the gratitude and thankful towards God for everything He gives, as well as a faith to Him, since the holy recognition without the practices insufficient to show the real faith on Him. Quote from Koran stated, “All that was asked of them was to worship GOD, devoting the religion absolutely to Him alone, observe the contact prayers (Solat), and give the obligatory charity (Zakat). Such is the perfect religion. [98:5]”


                                            

短片中有一个字眼“Pahala”不停不停地重复,这个字眼在我第一篇 Potong Saga 也有提过。
There is a word “Pahala” that repeat appeared and I mentioned it in my first page for Potong Saga.




Berpandukan al-Quran dan sunah, Islam menetapkan perbuatan manusia kepada lima nilai iaitu:
According to Koran and Sunnah, Islam categorized mankind behaviors to 5 values, which are:

1. Nilai wajib: Perbuatan yang apabila dilakukan mendapat pahala dan meninggalkannya mendapat dosa seperti sembahyang, zakat, puasa dan ibadat-ibadat wajib lainnya.
2. Nilai sunat: Perbuatan yang diberi pahala apabila melakukannya dan tidak berdosa apabila meninggalkannya seperti bersugi ketika hendak sembahyang.
3. Nilai haram: Diberi balasan dosa apabila melakukannya dan diberi pahala apabila meninggalkannya seperti minum arak, berzina dan sebagainya.
4. Nilai makruh: Diberi pahala apabila meninggalkannya dan tidak berdosa apabila melakukannya seperti makan benda-benda yang berbau busuk seperti bawang dan sebagainya.
5. Nilai harus: Tidak berdosa apabila melakukannya dan meninggalkan seperti makan, minum, mandi dan sebagainya.

1. Responsibility: These actions lead to good devotions (Pahala), when practice it. These actions are praying, Zakat, fasting and other sacred duties.
2. Sunat: Action that could lead to good devotion, for example they shall clean themselves before praying.
3. Haram (outlaw): Action can lead to sins; for examples, liquor taking, adultery and others, and it can lead to good devotion when leave it.
4. Makruh: Action that could lead to good devotion, for example prohibition of taking the nasty elements, like onions.
5. Necessity: There are sinless when doing or not doing on it, like eat, drink, bath and others.



看到短片最后的那一段,我感动了。我想起了那位德士大哥,我听着Tuan Guru Nik Aziz慢慢地说,看着短片里的字幕,虽然没看到Tuan Guru Nik Aziz的表情,虽然我不知道他脸上挂着的是无奈还是空虚,不过从声音我听得出来他的真实感受,这是我看到最感动的一幕。
The last part of clip makes me touched, as I recalled the taxi driver that I met just now. Tuan Guru Nik Aziz spoke gently in clip, however less face expressions, but I can sense his real feeling, which make me touched.
 

只要教人做好事的宗教,就是好的宗教。
Only the taught with good and kindness, it is a right religion.

이올린에 북마크하기

中午,我去食堂买饭。一包饭+两粒苹果是RM 4.60。我掏出了RM50,还有口袋里的RM0.50。收银员接过了RM50,把RM0.50放进了抽屉里,掏出了RM46对着我笑了。突然,我想起了Yasmin Ahmad的《Chocolate》。

I bought my lunch at canteen this afternoon. A packet of rice and two apples cost me RM 4.60. I took out RM 50 and the 50 cents in my pocket. The cashier received my money and put the coins in the drawer, returning RM 46 to me and smiled to me. Suddenly I remembered Yasmin Ahmad’s Chocolate.




你要我去的原因是不是你要跟你的男朋友在一起?
You only want me to go so that you can be with your boyfriend, right?
为什么不可以meh?
Even if true, what’s wrong with that?
他在骗着你的钱都不懂!
He is just taking advantage of you!
为什么?不可以啊?我高兴嘛~
What’s the problem as long as I am happy?

华人父母常有的个性,孩子做什么都看不过眼,自己做的,只要高兴就好。
One personality all Chinese parents have in common: whatever their child is doing, it has to be wrong in their eyes; whatever they are doing, it matters not whether it is right or wrong – as long as they are happy with it.  

 

其实Yasmin想告诉大家的是,年轻一辈生长在马来西亚的孩子内心都渴望与各族和谐相处,完全属于1Malaysia,实现不分你我,但由于外界的因素 (这里主要是说父母,当然还包括身边的朋友、长辈、国家政策、媒体和政治人物等等) 加上父母给我们的stereotype,有着这里是给他们那种人而已的马来亚式老套观念,再加上孩子本身以往的亲身经验(可能是没能在教育体制上得到更公平的对待),而这些一点一点的经验最终就形成了现在孩子们的prejudice。

What Yasmin is trying to tell us is that, the young generation that grow up in Malaysia wish to live in harmony with other races. They want to truly practice the concept 1Malaysia where race is irrelevant, but due to external factors (frankly speaking, this short film referring to parents mainly, but of course it covers other factors such as peer pressure, seniors, national policies, media, politicians and others), topped with parents’ stereotyping on us which contains the this-land-is-for-that-race-only paradigm, coupled with the young generation’s own experience (perhaps they did not acquire fair and just treatment in aspects like education), which slowly forms the prejudice in their minds. 


“你跟那个马来婆谈这么久做莫?”
“Why do you talk for so long with that Malay granny?”


在这话说出之前,男主角的眼神是柔和的、细腻的,当他妈妈喊他、并说出“马来婆”这带着贬义的称呼时,孩子突然态度转变暴躁地说“tak cukup tak payah beli lah”。
Before this question is asked, the main male character’s eyes were gentle but when his mother shouted a question at him, a question containing the term “Malay granny”, the boy suddenly became hot-tempered. He then said impatiently: “tak cukup tak payah beli lah.”


我们,是不是总是把“马来婆”挂在嘴边?
在你潜意识里,“马来婆”是不是总是带着贬低的意思?
Don’t we always use the term “Malay granny”?
Subconsciously, do you see this term as something that lowers the status of other race?


最后,孩子把巧克力放回柜台上,这个举动像是那种被打扰后心有闷气的肢体语言。马来女生会回来吗?我们不懂,男孩不懂,甚至连Yasmin Ahmad也不懂。但是我们知道,如果这种散播偏见的人一直存在着,唯恐天下不乱口出狂言,那么1Malaysia的精神就一直不会来敲门。

In the end, the boy put the chocolate back to the counter. It seems like an action of body language that shows frustration after being disturbed. Will the Malay girl come back? We don’t know. The boy didn’t know. Even Yasmin Ahmad didn’t know. But one thing for sure: if this prejudice remains, we will not be living in harmony, nor will the spirit of 1Malaysia come knocking at our doors.

↑ 课外活动操步完,我们坐在树底下休息。
After marching for co-curricular activities, we rest under the trees.
 

其实所有的大学生都希望都跟各族好好地相处,但是由于媒体、父母、身边的朋友一直不断不断地重复告诉我们这块土地的教育体制有多不公平,所以让他们潜意识里对对方产生了不满。我在大学里要学会的,就是减少怨言。每当我遇到不公平的时候都不要抱怨,相反更应该积极奋斗地争取我认为最合适的公平。
Actually all undergraduates wish to communicate well with other races but because of media, parents and friends repetitively tell us about how unfair is the education system on this piece of land we are living on, we subconsciously feel dissatisfied with the way things are managed, and we subconsciously refuse to befriend people from other races. What I learned in varsity is to cease complaining. Whenever I encounter something unfair, I try my best not to complain. I know what I should be doing is to fight for the rights I believe I am entitled to.
 
 

Ps:我觉得Hon Kah Hoe小弟弟很养眼哟,尤其是他文质彬看着马来女生的时候,第一眼看见他站起来的时候就觉得他超像我家的弟弟,尤其是那身材,哈哈!我中学那段期间有两年的时间进出马大医院的心理医疗室,男主角Hon Kah Hoe在跟妈妈对谈的时候,手里重复玩弄着那些厨房用具,那是一种心理问题的表现。
I think Hon Kah Hoe is so adorable, especially when he gentle look at Malay girls. My first impression on him was that he closely resembles my brother, especially his body… haha! During my secondary school years, I spent two years paying frequent visit to HUKM’s psychotherapy consultation room. When Hon Kah Hoe was conversing with his mother, he kept fiddling kitchen utensils – I recognize that as an action done because of the existence of a psychological problem.  
 
 
 



Life is like a box of chocolate, we’ll never know what we’ll get.

【15Malaysia】'Chocolate' by Yasmin Ahmad


이올린에 북마크하기



学长看了短片淡淡地打了几个字给我:到底,我们了解被标签后的事情有多少?人们往往迷信标签,而不是事情的真相……

After watching the short film, my senior lackadaisically texted me: Actually, how well do we understand the labeled matters? We tend to believe what we were told but not the truth…

17日凌晨看了 15Malaysia 的第一部短片,相信很多人都知道 Proton Saga 的谐音是“笨蛋傻瓜”,我小学六年级当大姐大的时候特别喜欢这样作弄男生。:P

On the dawn of 17th dawn I watch the first short film of 15Malaysia. I believe most people know that Proton Saga sounds like “idiot fool” in Mandarin. Back at the time when I was in standard six, I enjoyed teasing guys with this.




说实在,我挺害怕看本地的独立短片,上次我看过一个20余岁的女主角在饰演顾客的男配角面前脱裤子,一件不剩。然后我又在这个Potong Saga 的3分27秒和3分38秒看到一些不知道什么东西的“东西”。我才21,好像还不是时候知道大人的世界,你们能让我在童话站下车吗?我还是回去看《蓝色大门》好了,听着我的Accidentally Kelly Street,感受你们的世界……

Truth to be told, I have a phobia about watching local film. I once watched one where the 20-something female character took off her pants in front of the male character who acted as customer. She took off absolutely everything. Now, at the 3rd minute 27th second and 3rd minute 28th second of this Potong Saga film, I saw some unnamed item. I am only 21 and I guess the time for me to understand more of adult’s world had not arrived yet… Can you let me hop off at the station called Fairy Tale? I think I should go back to watch film like BLUE GATE CROSSING and listening to Accidentally Kelly Street and indulge in the world…




我一直在想,如果三十秒开始,男主角和三个朋友在茶餐室的那个部分,把镜头放在海鲜楼那种可以转的小圆盘桌子上,一边讲一边转,会不会很考演技?三个朋友的镜头呈现都比较向前倾斜,男主角的角度就比较不一样,我心里有一个疑问,那三个+一个的镜头是不是分开拍的?

I can’t stop myself from thinking: if starting from the 30th second – the part where the main male character and his three friends sitting at the restaurant – if the camera was focused on the rotating table at the seafood restaurant and all the actors have to keep talking while the table keep rotating, will it be very difficult for them to carry out the act? The scene shows the three friends in an angle more slanted forward whereas the angle for the main male character is different. I have a doubt in heart: is that scene taken separately?

话说回来,白雪其实也有一个 Islamic Bank 户口。半年前,我到 KL Central 附近的Islamic Bank一趟,差点就让我有一股想要进回教的冲动。Islamic Bank 的服务设施特别好,沙发很宽,冷气很冷,就连柜台的马来小姐说话也特别温文有礼的。但是,我不能因为 Islamic Bank 的服务很好而进Islam的对不对?那样不虔诚的态度我是不会得到 Pahala 滴。

By the way, I actually have an account with Islamic Bank. Half a year ago when I visited the Islamic Bank near KL Central, it almost tempted me to convert into Muslim. They have excellent customer facilities with cozy couch and chilly air-conditioners. Even the Malay receptionist was extremely gentle. However, I cannot convert to Muslim because of Islamic Bank’s customer service, right? That is so insincere – surely it won’t earn me Pahala.




其实不是只有回教徒才能申请 Islamic Bank,不要用自己的青蛙眼来看马来西亚。只要你满18岁,月入RM1200,又是大马公民,那么就可以立即去申请。当然,你还要是公务员,或者是 Islamic Bank 列出的一些私人大公司员工才有资格申请的。不要以为复印那个东西就可以申请哦,还要复印几件文件,才能被通过的。

The truth is, you don’t have to be Muslim in order to apply for Islamic Bank. Don’t view Malaysia with your eyes of ignorance. As long as you are a Malaysian aged 18 and above with a monthly income of RM1200 at least, you are qualified to apply. Of course, you will also have to be working with public sector. Either that, or you must be an employee under notable companies listed by Islamic Bank. Don’t think you can apply by photocopying that, you still need to photocopy a few other documents for your application to be approved.




还记得去年,我要到附近的 Islamic Bank 办点手续,上网查询一下打个电话过去就找到了。G 神真的是 21 世纪最伟大的发明啊!

I remember last year when I have to settle some procedures at Islamic Bank nearby. All I have to do is to acquire their phone number online. Google is indeed the best invention of 21st century!

你看我可爱吗?哈哈!
Do you think I look cute in these pictures? Haha!

Ps:《有求必硬》 我打过去了,有一个有着很浓印度口音的电话录音播放着:this nombor is not in service。究竟会有多少人好像我一样sampat,去打那个号码。你,试过了吗?

PS. I’ve called 《有求必硬》 There was a recorded voice message with a very heavy Indian slang saying: this number is not in service. I wonder how many people will be as busybody as me to call that number. Have you tried calling it?
