Mimpi ngeri terindah

“Sumpah! Dalam mimpi itu aku bersumpah yang aku bermimpi didalam mimpi itu aku bersumpah yang aku bermimpi didalam mimpi itu aku bersumpah yang aku bermimpi tentang kamu…”

Terkebelakangan ini aku sering dipenatkan dengan mimpi-mimpi. Sehinggakan bertemu kamu, satu watak yang telah lama aku tidak luangkan masa untuk fikirkan. Banyak yang telah berlaku dan banyak lagi yang akan berlaku. Aku, sering saja terperangkap dalam keakuan, betapa kuat keakuan itu sekalipun kalis penafian, tetap mudah dipatahkan. Jadinya keakuan yang sekali gus menjadi pucuk waham tidak lah sekuat mana kesannya berbanding kedegilan cerucuk egoistik.

Kamu, yang menjarah tanpa bayang, meninggalkan rintisan-rintisan lorong yang sunyi setelah limpasan, terus merosakkan warisan-warisan lukisan tabah yang sepatutnya kental dibaja peristiwa golekan roda karma. Memperlekehkan nilai halus didalam urus seharian yang seharian gembira kamu menjadi sedatif dan upah segala rencana terlaksana. Berkira-kira letaknya titik pesongan yang pasti menjadi en route pilihan meloloskan dari dipertanggungjawapkan. Itu lah seharian kamu yang terkini, menjadi key player.

Dan mimpi, semacam pastinya itu satu alamat, terus di tafsir seperti yang termaktub mengikut apa yang mau menjadi kepercayaan di siang hari. Dan tafsiran-tafsiran itu jatuh berhelaian diatas bara yang menunggu umpan api, melenyapkan dan menelan segala gerak-geri terancang. Mimpi-mimpi yang tertagih, memaksa untuk dibuka kembali ‘perjanjian-perjanjian lama’ bagi mencari kekhilafan atau kealpaan nahu ketika sememangnya tiada lagi plot-plot satu drama lapuk. Mengais dicelah jejari sengatan saat, untuk satu ruang yang mungkin bakal menjadi the great leap. Namun mimpi-mimpi itu masih menguasai barisan-barisan nafas keluar masuk didalam satu jam yang tergenting.

Satu persatu kini aku tanggalkan hingga berbogel jujur tanpa pakaian. Sebutir delima didalam segelas air yang telus-pandang, itu lah aku yang sedang berdiri dihadapan kamu. Mungkin kah bahang ini dikedap jalinan benang halus yang utuh memegang memori kabur , hingga aku lemas didalam peluh lelah kehidupan? Dan betapa besar derai tawa kamu tika mimpi malam aku terus memberi ruang buat kamu untuk muncul menguasai.

Mau saja jemari aku menujah-nonjol butang off pada remote control, sekiranya mimpi itu datang lengkap bersamanya, agar aku bisa membasuh fatik bahang aspal desa yang masih enggan meninggalkan belulang.

Sayup-sayup laungan subuh sang muadzin, pasti, aku terjaga dek raungan ku sendiri dan pasti, itu kerna kedatangan mimpi ngeri terindah tentang kamu.

Aku keletihan, bersumpah dan berjanjilah dengan ku, kamu, bahwa tidak akan kembali lagi ke dalam mimpi rehat ku...

JOHO Outing: Another Success

Salam and Hello JOHO lover!

JOHO would like to thank everyone who participated in the outing last Saturday. It was an awesome and a memorable day for JOHO. Honestly we thought only a small group will turn up that day (since we only printed 50 blue buttons for the event) but more than 70+ JOHO lovers from around JOHOR and also outside yang participated..THANKS guys for the EFFORT and PASSION. u guys are indeed the BEST!

JOHO would like to thank KUKUBESI and his FOTORADIKAL team for the sweet and informative knowledge sharings to all JOHO members,and JOHO hopes that all members gained something on that day (although kena berpenat lelah berjalan around JB but u guys still gave an awesome participations.) KUDOS lagi!

Lagu JOHOR di atas PLAZA SENI tu memang MEMORABLE..btul? :)

says Azrafe Zaky.



Expect the unexpected.

Again, the crowd never fails to impress me. We were once shocked by the massive attack of people at SPAM! acoustic night. This time we had more than 50 photographers and friends attended our chill photo session. The atmosphere were fantastic and the participants were truly awesome. We can see them swarming JB city like never before. Everywhere we see the Johor lovers flash their JOHO plate with full of excitement and proud. On the streets, building walls, signs and even people around were holding the plate to show their support...which is cool tho. From JB main Post Office (PO) to Plaza Seni roof top we walked... quite a distance but it doesn't stop us to keep on shooting pictures of our beloved city.

On the roof top we were then feasted with the knowledge of photography by Mr. Kukubesi and his fellow Fotoradikal team (Komunis). Participants stayed until the end of the session with full of joy and satisfaction. They seems like couldn't stop taking pictures but heck every beginning has an ending (for now).

It was a great moment to end the day with everyone singing the Johor state anthem with pride. Thank you and congratulations JOHOrean for sharing this great experience. Everything was beautiful... the day, the people, the JOHO Plate, the photographers, the aweks aweks, the atmosphere, the roof top Plaza seni.... the only sux was... menapak balik ke PO.. baru terasa JAUHH!!!!" -
