Well, I was trying to play the 'capslk' and highlight and it forms a heart shape. (a failed heart shape)
This reflect to the art of words. It is so disturbing yet creative when you read the lines. I stop to do that or else you will not continue to read my post simply because it is just annoying. What I want to bring out is everything has the LIMIT, including arts. Or else, Zi Hao's works won't be banned and M'sia media won't get censored.

This is what I learned- the LIMIT.

Same opinion with Chok. I was shocked when Zi Hao mentioned about the language "English and Bahasa" makes so much differences in political discourse. Is like what the...? Same content but just in different language only weiyh. I am really amazed language has such power.
To argue Chok's post :
Sesungguhnya, garisan diantara kebebasan bersuara dan ucapan kebencian adalah amat halus sekali, kita harus sentiasa memastikan ucapan kita bersifat munasabah dan sopan untuk menjaga perasaan khalayak ramai.   

With the statement above, I wonder how much can we "JAGA perasaan orang lain" and to what extend can we jaga? jaga forever? tolerate forever? And what if orang lain don't even care of us? Will you still care of them? My opinion is...we have our own freedom to speak. So why should we care about the sifat munasabah? If you are not satisfy with it, just voice out. But if you are not, I would say that you already put the limit there unconsciously. Not to say this is good or bad, but another way to say is "there is no freedom of speech".

Actually it is same when we have the setting in the class.
We have our right to speak. We can choose to answer or not to answer questions.
We have our right to speak. We can voice out our opinion every time.
We have our right to speak. We can stand up and point at the lecturer says, " I don't like the way you teach. You are sxxxs."
Wow! Can you imagine IF this incident happen in our class? I study from kindergarten until now, 16 years...to be honest, I never experience this before. So basically, we all know our limit. I would say even sometime we don't like the things or objects, we will not show it obviously but try to camourflage. Haha! Anyway rule is rule.

If you are daring and curious enough like Zi Hao, actually you can try to experiment it which I think all of us won't do I guess. To conclude this, I remain my stand as everyone has their own level of limit. Different thought, different judgement.

Personally, I think every artist has their own characteristic. Can't say it's weird but don't know how to describe in a proper word. Perhaps special? He too. A man who overcurious. And this is why make him so creative. Remember the question "Where does the inspiration for creativity come from?" I guess Zi Hao will be one of a very good example.

He makes me think of as a young adult, should we really cross the line and do something weird too? Hmm...we can think about it.

Tutorial TIME! I like the screening of " The Rising Sun" compare to another one. Both are the story about the old time when Japanese came Malaya. One is broadcasted by History Channel in a documentary, interview style whereas another one is more modern style play with graphic and editing. Again we talked about the formal and contextual.

Formal analysis
1. description (historically)
2 .analyse ( chromatic/vibrant)
3. interpret ( why)
4. judgement

Contextual analysis
more deep and consider what's around.
Eg, WHY the bicycle under water, demon mask, female in red etc

Think think think.

Anyway, Happy Raya and Holidays peeps ;)
