I got an opportunity to see Life Sdn. Bhd. 3 performance last night at Taman Budaya Ipoh. Starring by Andrew Tan, Ari Ratos, Ben Tan, Christina Orow, Fang Chyi, Gavin Yap, Mary George, Mohd Sobri Anuar, Nell Ng, Patrick Teoh, Reza Zainal Abidin, Samantha Schubert and Sue Lankester. I would like to meet them after the show but unfortunately I did not have any chances to do that due to time constrain and they were just disappeared.

I bought two tickets in the evening and spend a few minutes talking with two staffs at the entrance. Both of them ask me to invite all of my friends in Ipoh. I did so, but not much that I can help.

The first and the last time I stepped at Taman Budaya Ipoh was in 1998. I was performing in Orchestra Nusantara and playing Kompang. It's just a memorable experience when I was young and successful. There are also Caklempung, Gamelan, Gendang, Angklung and a Keyboard.

Life Sdn. Bhd. 3 shows was not bad. They did not use so many things to performed. It is enough one chair for each. I enjoyed their show. Listening to their life story make me remind some of my own old story.

Sanitary napkin:

It was not me but my friends. Absolutely they are girls. This tragedy happens when I was twelve years old. I sat in the classroom and did not understand anything about girl. I am likely a nerd person on that time. It was Pendidikan Islam class. Suddenly, there was a noise from the girls. I don't know what happen to them but the teacher on that time is Ustazah. She scolded the girls to go to the staffroom and take something that I don't have any idea what it is. I'm totally blunt what Ustazah had said to the class after the incident. She told us (especially to the girls) "When the 'time' is coming, you should prepare the 'sanitary napkin' before 'it' come out" I kept wondering what is the 'time', 'sanitary napkin' and 'it come out'. Lastly, a little explanation from my friends make me clear about this and after that, I am very happy because I was born to be a boy!

Anak Keling:

It was very funny to hear the story from 'Anak Keling'. He may or may not telling the truth but the story that he brought is more or less than I had. I have two cousins, which is at the same age as I am. Both of them are a boy and a girl but unfortunately, they came from the same boat.

Let me start with the girl. She's one year older than I am. When I was a little kid, her mother scolded me every time we met. She did that not in front of my parents but only when nobody beside me. Sometimes I felt very angry to her and I did not enjoy myself at grandma house if she was there. She thought that I would not remember what she has done to me. I'm sorry, I still remember the moment when she came to me and mad at me without I am doing anything wrong to her, to her son or even to anyone that related to her! I think she might hate me because I'm tanned. Not like her son or daughter, they are pretty fair enough. So back to her daughter now, she sat for the exam papers (UPSR, PMR, SPM) one year before me. Therefore, my mom starts mumbling at me whenever she passed the entire exam with flying colours. I also got good results in the exams. 4As in UPSR, 8As 1D in PMR and 1A in SPM is well enough for me. So what was going on here? Am I better than she is? Frankly said, yes it is. I can further my study in matriculation with that result while she is in diploma studying Architecture and now she is doing her first year degree while I'm in the third year. I think this is not going to make her mother happy with my achievement and I hope that I will graduate next year.

Next is my male cousin. He and his siblings are all white like Englishmen. When we gathered on Aidilfitri, I saw my grandparents take care of them like prince and princess. I hate that. It is look like I was not in the house but the truth is I always want them to know my present. Although now I can see what happen to my cousin is he now study in a private college near Gombak. Hopefully both of them will success in their life.
