Where the wild things are by Maurice Sendak
The night Max wore his wolf suit and made mischief of one kind and another,
his mother called him “WILD THING!” and Max said “I’ll eat you up!”
So he was sent to bed without eating anything.
That very night in Max’s room a forest grew and grew and grew until his ceiling hung with vines and the walls became the world all around, and an ocean tumbled by with a private boat for Max,and he sailed off through night and day, and in and out of weeks, and almost a year to where the wild things are.
And when he came to the place where the wild things are, they roared their terrible roars and gnashed their terrible teeth, and rolled their terrible eyes, and showed their terrible claws till Max said “Be still!”
And tamed them with a magic trick of staring into all their yellow eyes without blinking once, and they were frightened and called him the most wild thing of all, and made him king of the wild things.
“And now,” cried Max, “let the wild rumpus start!”
“Now stop!” Max said and sent the wild things off to bed without their supper.
And Max the king of all the wild things was lonely and wanted to be where someone loved him best of all.
Then all around from far away across the world he smelled good things to eat, so he gave up being king of where the wild things are.
But the wild things cried, “Oh please don’t go-we’ll eat you up-we love you so!”
And Max said, “No!”
The wild things roared their terrible roars and gnashed their terrible teeth and rolled their terrible eyes and showed their terrible claws, but Max stepped into his private boat and waved good-bye.
And sailed back over a year and in and out of weeks and through a day and into the night of his very own room where he found his supper waiting for him, and it was still hot.
(Sendak received the 1964 Caldecott Medal for Where the Wild Things Are)

Diari Harimau Jadian
Aku patahkan kandang kerbau Pak Hassan Balau dan aku tarik kerbau kesayangannya ke pinggir hutan. Aku tahu, Pak Hassan pasti mencari. Kalau Kerbau itu hilang, rosaklah rancangannya buat kenduri besar-besaran untuk kahwinkan anak bongsunya bulan depan.
Masa aku mengendap Pak Hassan Balau merayap mencari kerbaunya sambil menebas-nebas belukar, jantung aku berdegup-degup. Aku suka detik ini. Detik di mana aku merendahkan tubuh setinggi rerumput keliling dan memberi tumpuan kepada pergerakan mangsa ku. Detik aku menunggu masa yang sesuai untuk menerkam.
Pak Hassan sudah jumpa kerbaunya. Dia kelihatan gembira. Dia peluk binatang itu. Dia membebel kepada kerbaunya seperti dia membebel kepada anaknya.
Bammmmm! Aku rasa sengatan di peha. Aku lihat ke kanan, ada orang sedang mengisi peluru ke dalam senapang. Renjer. Dia telah menembak aku dengan peluru penabur. Cis! Aku terus lari meninggalkan tempat persembunyian. Meninggalkan mangsa aku.
Bammm! Satu lagi tembakan dilepaskan tetapi aku sudah jauh. Aku lihat keseriusan luka pada peha aku dan lari balik ke rumah. Aku bertukar jadi manusia semula. Aku basuh peha aku yang berdarah. Sekurangkurangnya ada 10 butir.
Aku cungkil biji-biji peluru itu dengan kuku. Darah mengalir tapi tidak banyak. Peluru ini kalau kena ayam hutan mungkin la mati ayam hutan. Dari jarak tembakan renjer kepada aku, peluru ini masuk tidak dalam. Tetapi cukup buat aku jalan berdengkut beberapa hari. Aku balut luka dipeha dengan kain batik.
Tiba-tiba ada orang bagi salam di luar. Suara Pak Hassan. Aku suruh dia masuk. Dia kata dia takut mahu balik malam buta sebab ada orang cuba bunuh dia tadi katanya. Renjer tembak aku disangkanya ada orang cuba bunuh dia.
Aku tanya samada dia sendiri. Dia kata ya. Ah pucuk dicita ulam mendatang. Aku minta dia datang dekat dengan aku.

MARRIAGE
DavidBissonette
When a man steals your wife, there is no better revenge than to let him keep her.
Sacha Guitry
After marriage, husband and wife become two sides of a coin; they just can't face each other, but still they stay together.
Socrates
By all means marry. If you get a good wife, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

OUT OF CONTROL
Out of Control- Film Synopsis
If you expect the normal melodaramatic love theme in this film, you'll be dissappointed. OUC (Out of Control) is a dark psychological thriller. It starts with a violent scene. A parang panjang weilding man, Kassim, running amok killing a score of Chinese men. The man seems bulletproof and the cops are helpless until he falls into Klang River and nearly drown. The man is sent to court and later he spends his time in an Asylum for the Criminally Insane run by Dr. Moflis. There, Kassim mixes with other mental patients and receives series of unorthodox state of the art treatment.
Plot twist 1:The plot later reveals that Kassim had earlier discovered that the formula to cross to the world of mind over matter i.e. through treating the mind with a specific pattern of sounds which can be produced by Javanese Kuda Kepang and Barongan percussion instruments. On the day he was caught, he was just defending a Kopitiam Shopkeeper against Kongsi Gelap members. He was doing fine till a police came.
Plot twist 2: The secret of mind over matter is not a secret to Dr. Moflis. In fact, he has been using state of the art sound generating technology to control people's mind. The asylum acts as a center for propaganda and brainwashing funded by powerful politicians. The patients are subjects for experiments done by Dr. Moflis. Kassim and other patients are then brainwashed to assasinate Dr. Rahmah, who's an activist fighting for free medical treatment for the people, at a dinner function. Kassim knows the act is wrong but he and his fellow inmates are helpless against the mind bending sound pattern. His movements are beyond his control.
Ending. Plot twist 2: As the mental patients charge toward Dr. Rahmah, the mind control sound on kassim is overode by Gamelan Performance Sound at the the dinner function. Now, Kassim turns defender and fights the other berserkers.
If you ask me, it's a marriage between unbreakable, zoolander, k-pax and kluang man. What makes this film intelligent is it seriously deals with Shizophrenic accurately. This is one seriously dark film that plays your mind like a puppet.

TOLL-GATE GIRL
The Kulai toll gate girl told me this morning that starting from Jan 1 (Today), I have to pay her RM2 and not RM1.80 as usual. (Org kat TV kata, ini tidak membebankan rakyat) I wish PAS would win in Kulai and demolish this toll complex! I paid her and throw the receipt out of the window. Let PLUS uses the extra 20 cents to clean the litter I made!
