The Night_Before

2012-01-16T15:35:00.000+08:00

The Night Before on Youtube
The_Night_Before on Wiki

The Night Before is a 1988 film starring Keanu Reeves and Lori Loughlin. Reeves plays Winston Connelly, the so-called high school nerd and vice president of the Astronomy club. Loughlin plays Tara Mitchell, the pretty and popular head cheerleader who also happens to be the local police chief's daughter. The Tagline was: "You lost your father's car, sold your prom date and a guy called 'Tito' wants you dead. It's a date that's the time of your life." It was filmed and set entirely in Los Angeles, California.

My favourite movie, thanks to the uploader, i remember watching this around 1am in the morning, this movie was just like my quaint little hometown at night. Minus the smokes from the sewer & homeless with fire in the barrel. It's a bit surreal & a little bit of post-apocalyptic feels to it. Also reminded me of other sci-fi / B-grade / movies & the product of the 80s.

Plz help reduce discrimination towards transcommunity here by signing the petition thank you -->Petition against slander and defamation by the media towards transgenders in Malaysia

We, the transgender community of Malaysia have had enough of the discrimination, misrepresentation, slandering and hate-mongering perpetrated by the media of our identities and lives. The recent episode of Wanita Hari Ini: Pondan, Ancaman Wanita/Tranny, Threat to Women (4 October 2011) by TV3 as well as the article in Berita Harian (6 October 2011) (Salah makan punca pondan?/ Wrong food consumption can lead to transsexualism) were very telling of the deeply discriminatory agenda of these media entities. We are appalled by the irresponsible and unethical reporting of the named media.

We demand that the media stop portraying the transgender community in such negative and damaging light. We strongly condemn the publishing of articles which are groundless and damaging to our lives and aspirations.

-Enough of ‘softie’ bashing by Marina Mahathir

-TV3 under fire for disparaging talk show

Dear TV3,

After viewing the talkshow Wanita Hari Ini "Pondan Ancaman Wanita" on 4th October 2011, I was utterly disgusted in the way your station has portrayed women and transsexuals in Malaysia. Not only has the programme stereotyped women as only working as Makeup Artists or Wedding Planners, but also suggested that women are weak and whiny when faced with the competitive working industry.

It is very unprofessional for the hosts themselves to be not educated in the area of discussion before the show. What you are showing on television confuses everyone about the issue and incite hate towards the prejudiced. The term "Pondan" and "MakNyah" are 2 very different classes of gender expression. "Pondan" refers to effeminate MEN, which are Lelaki Lembut. Whereas "MakNyah" refers to Transsexuals which are males that desire to be totally female, usually undergoing surgery to alter the body. Pondan or Lelaki Lembut are usually flamboyant men that IDENTIFY themselves as MEN/LELAKI.

A point that was brought forward in the show was, "women are threatened because the pondans are monopolizing the makeup industry". This is wrong as Culinary Arts, Makeup and Hairstyling industries are dominated by men. Masculine men in fact. The title instead should be "Lelaki Ancaman Wanita", because these men are doing what used to be thought as women's job. We have come a long way to recognize that women no longer are subjected to careers in beauty only, but also very capable in previously male-dominated careers like police force, entrepreneurship, civil engineering... etc. Equal career opportunities are given and the best person gets the job, there is no grounds for women in complaining that their work is being taken from them. This violates the Malaysian Constitution that guarantees equality and non-discrimination on the basis of gender.

I am also appalled when pondan/maknyah are accused of "stealing" the husbands from women. Blaming others of the unfaithfulness of ones husband is very childish and illogical. Happiness and trust between man and wife requires more than just sex and food, there is so much more to marriage. Both sides should seek family counselors when faced with cheating, instead of putting the blame on some innocent person. It is the husband that is cheating, not the transsexual, and so she does not deserve to be held responsible for the men's actions.

Equally inappropriate are the panel for discussion. Fatin Sarjat, a university student; Dr. Edward Chan, who is an unqualified psychologist; and Azwan Ali, who is a crossdresser.
I have checked with Dr. Alvin Ng, President of Malaysian Society of Clinical Psychology (MSCP), that Dr. Edward Chan is not a registered clinical psychologist and is NOT QUALIFIED to explain the situation to the mass public. He's views on transsexualism may not be calibrated with the world's standard and thus cannot be used as a reference on the topic.
Azwan Ali, is a crossdresser. He is a Pondan in all its definition - a soft BOY/effeminate MEN. Crossdressers are people that dress up as the opposite sex for the thrills of it, but is totally comfortable with their sexual organs. He cannot represent the maknyah community because he never had the need to be a woman. He was having fun being flamboyant, which he still is adorning large rings and bracelets on the show.
Cik Fatin Sarjat is included i believe for the views from the younger generation, but it is not appropriate for her to tell her views about religion on this issue, when she herself is not being religious. Her hair is let loose, and dyed golden, whilst commenting on how pondan is wrong in the words of the Quran - foolish!

I would like to remind your station, that all citizens of Malaysia are protected under the Federal Constitution and Defamation Act 1957. Under no circumstances may any discrimination or defamation be broadcast to incite hate towards Malaysians, regardless of gender. I hereby insist that your station release a press statement to apologize for the slanderous broadcast made to enact fear and hatred towards the transsexual community in Malaysia.

I missed you already Abroko. You are an artist and a rock star!. You used to hang around my neighbourhood, stopping by at the house for short talk, play guitar, tea,breakfast,dinner at mamak. You always tell me you got harassed or stop by the police frequently. How you try to sell me your bags,tshirt,art just for a meal or for a train/taxi fair. And the incident where you drop your pants infront of many people while singing? screaming at the gig in town. Avroco, you will be missed dearly my friend <3

Avroco Nasir
37 years of age. Passed away on 14-7-2011. I have to admit that I don't know him very well. But i do know Joe was very fond of him. I doorbitch for Joe's Unclogged gigs and a few others. I remember very well that Joe always made sure Avroco was on the guest list. Joe was always very persistent about it. In fact, Avroco was the exception to the rule. As the years and the gigs went by, the conversation with Joe would always be, "Nobody gets in for free, but for Avroco". It was through those few encounters and the many after all those gigs that i realised this fella was a bit of special. Whether it was the DIY, underground, or whatever scene it was, he was there. He endeared himself to everyone. With his passing, you realise how special he was, and what everyone probably knew. The feller transcended the scene. My FaceBook notifications have been running steadily with condolences and notices of his passing. not since the Bersih rally last weekend, has so much been said about one person. I know he never had it easy. There was the hard living, too, which his liver gave in eventually. We are the choices we make, and that was perhaps the most difficult part of his life. There is no judgment. There is only beauty. To see a person endear himself to so many, i do salute Avroco's wealth in the friendships he forged and the lives of people he touched. More importantly, I'm sad for Joe and to any degree all of us who knew him . Avroco meant a lot to a lot of people and it breaks my heart that someone i never knew that well has affected me in more ways than i can imagine. I do know that he was at quite a number of gigs that my band played at. I don't know if he liked our stuff. It didn't really matter. What mattered was that he was there for us all at one time or another. In some small way, it was great for bands to have avroco around. when you think about it, he was kind of like this certifier of shows. So finally, i only wish him peace and if there's a party in the afterlife, I hope he's still making it memorable. In our hearts and minds, we honour you in our acts and memories. Rest easy, boss.

R.I.P. Avroco Nasir: The Smiling Rebel, Angel and Legend
by Al Jafree Md Yusop
When a nurse asked me the question, “Awak ni siapa?,” (What’s your relation to him?), I was puzzled as to how should I answer it. It took me a while before I said, “abang angkat!” (adopted brother). But in reality my relationship with the late iconic Avroco Nasir was much more than that.

The truth is, I’ve never been to any of his gigs or shows or performances since I was first introduced to him six years ago. True, I admire his artworks. I even owned two of them. But I’ve never seen him performing live in front of an audience. I’ve had interesting conversations with him. The topic was on politics, performing arts, society, music, films and food. He was extremely picky when it comes to his food. I guess he was extremely picky with a lot of things and yet he was very generous with his smile which was most of the time conspicuous and ubiquitous. I think that’s what a lot of people remember about him.

His authenticity, being true to himself, often led his to impulsiveness. That’s the beauty of Avroco’s artwork and performances. As Albert Camus once said, “Life is about the sum of all our choices”. But in Avroco’s case, life is not so much the sum of his choices but the sum of the habits he created and nurtured. He never choose from moment to moment on how to react to the world as it confronted him, he needed his unconscious mind to take over. This was reflected in his performances, especially his art (sketches and paintings) and his spiritual dance routines.

Avroco was an artist, musician, philosopher, poet and a friend. There was a rebel in him, not in a brooding or reclusive way but in a more celebratory manner. He had a strong will. His last spoken words were to my wife, Nusrat Al Jafree which went, “It’s ok, I’m yet to see the sign (of death)”. He was fighting for his life right till the end. My guess is he just had to wait until all of his best friends are present to see him for the last time.

He put up a courageous fighting against the tumor in his liver while his closest friends (poets Rahmat Haron, Ayam Fared, and artists Poodien and Yeoh Lian Heng) were present at HUKM. Yeoh had driven all the way from Melaka). At his bedside, Yeoh finally whispered to Avroco, “It’s ok my dear friend, you can go now. I will keep my promise to you”. Only then he was the ready to ‘go’. He passed away half an hour later. Yeoh’s promise was to hold a solo exhibition of Avroco’s works, something that he had been planning for quite some time.

Avroco passed away at 1:55am the 14th of July, 2011. He suffered from total liver failure. Hundreds of friends and fans visited him that night including National Laureate Datuk A Samad Said and political activist Hishamuddin Rais. It was a heartbreaking moment for everyone. It was certainly most heartbreaking for me.

Two days after, I’ve come to accept the reality that my friend and brother Avroco is gone, forever. The worst part is I still see him around. I still see him smiling and I still see him indulging in my wife’s home cooked Assam Laksa. I still feel him walking next to me, expressing his thoughts and opinions.

I was browsing around on Facebook when I read his personal messages to me. A day after an interesting incident at KL Sentral, he sent me a message on facebook that went like this: “kau ni macam malaikat la Jeff” (you’re like an angel Jeff). My answer was a simple ‘ok’ and a laugh ‘hahahahaha’ because I can’t think of anything else at the moment. The truth is: “Avroco, you are an Angel to me and I am MISSING you my friend. I should have gone to all your gigs and performances. You’re a LEGEND in my book. Rest in peace Avroco Nasir and I will never forget you…!”

We believe that the RM5billion development cost of the mega project should be used to improve various aspects of the Malaysian society such as:

- To improve the infrastructure of schools such as building of basic necessity i.e. toilets, provision of free books and assistance to school children in the rural areas in East Malaysia and West Malaysia – Sabah and Sarawak.
- To eradicate poverty and improve the standard of living by providing assistance to hardcore poor, particularly the rural areas in East Malaysia and West Malaysia – Sabah and Sarawak.
- To improve the healthcare system and service such as building of daycare and dialysis centre, replacement and improvement of equipments and facilities in hospitals; particularly in the rural areas in East Malaysia and West Malaysia – Sabah and Sarawak.
- To provide assistance and improve standard of living such as building infrastructure to cater to the basic needs such as electricity and water facilities, road and transportation to the Orang Asli (indigenous people) of East Malaysia and West Malaysia – Sabah and Sarawak.
- To provide assistance that caters to the daily needs of the OKUs (orang kurang upaya/disabled person) such as providing trainings to enable them to enter into job market and building of road pavements and infrastructure to enable mobility.
- To provide assistance to the less fortunate/elderly people such as building of old folks home and day care centre.
- To improve on public transportation and to reduce traffic problems of major towns and cities and making the major towns and cities a livable city.
