Studio Ghibli - Totoro

My first discovery of Studio Ghibli through Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away and Howl’s Moving Castle. Those are Papa’s favorite, not mine maybe because of too much fantasy element I can handle hehe.

Later I found So Yesterday and found myself in love with it instantly, that movie makes me crave more from Ghibli. I remember watch it for the first time and enjoy every scene/shot of it. The drawing, characters, script, music, sounds and everything feel so right and real. For me it’s not just a movie, it is the movie like my own life story that I can relate to.

Somehow So Yesterday led me to My Neighbor Totoro the master of masterpiece. :) Maharaja segala maharaja lebih kurang macam tue lah definisi dia. Totoro will make you watch from the very beginning of intro sampai habis. You will be introduce to Mei for the first time and with background music “Hey let’s go! Hey let’s go!... as happy as can be.. lalala” I know it doesn’t make much sense now hahaha but when you watch the movie, both soundtrack and the movie are very correlated and they compliment each other (terlebih sudahhh).

Lepas tengok untuk pertama kali then I bring it home for my sisters to watch and of course I watch with them once again. After that we pass it to Papa after he showed so much interest by walking behind us countlessly while we were watching it. Then the nightmare begins. He starts to watch it and we watch with him (third time and counting). When finish semua orang masuk tido, we knew he likes the movie. How? you may ask.

Before sleep we talks bout the movie and we can hear “Hey let’s go! Hey let’s go!”. He plays it again. We smile and humming along until we fall asleep. Around 3am terkejut nak bangun pegi toilet sekali lagi dengar lagu yang sama. Dalam hati “so cute.. papa must have love Satsuki and Mei so much” try jenguk kat hall he still awake ingatkan dah tertido.

Terjaga next morning around 8am dikejutkan oleh “Hey let’s go! Hey let’s go!”. Kiteorang gerakkan masing2 and tergelak2 dalam bilik cause of his obsession. Then kiteorang tertido balik. Senyap. He went out untuk beli breakfast :D nyum.. nyum
Around 10am as usual he brings back breakfast and turn on TV. Sekali lagi “Hey let’s go! Hey let’s go!”. Mase tue Mei is not cute anymore I really want to strangle her. “Ya Allah! biar betul…” masing2 terus keluar dari bilik pegi kat hall dengan hati yang panas. With innocence face papa cakap “haa tue ada roti kembung dengan roti canai panas lagi”. Then kiteorang pun. “Ok…”. Nothing can beat roti kembung panas2. hahaha

Nantilah aku sambung lagik pasal citer nih. Untuk entry kali ni, ini jer yang terlarat.

My side of story about mama

Mama passed away because of cancer. She lost the battle of two years. Mama is a great fighter. Tak kesah lah againts the cancer or for her family (especially if involved her angels). When people surrounding nampak something bad about us she will says otherwise.

Contohnya bila when semua budak perempuan pegi ngaji pakai baju kurung anak dara dia pakai baju melayu dan bertudung dia takkan kesah. As long as tutup aurat untuk pegi mengaji is good enuff. For her let kid be kids. Kalau tak mesti aku takkan penah merasa pakai macam tue hahaha.

Mama other than she is wonderful in every way. She have answer to my questions. Being young and naive (way back then) I have lots of questions and she always have the answers. Contoh soalan.

Q1. Ma kenapa ada orang jahat?
Q2. Kenapa mama kawin dengan papa?
Q3. Bila sakit mama nak baik?
Q4. Mama akan tinggalkan kiteorang ker?

Contoh jawapan yang aku ingat.
A1. Orang jahat tue syaitan yang pakai topeng macam manusia dia sengaja nak uji kita. Kalau kita tahan ujian baru lah boleh masuk syurga. Takkan Allah nak bagi kite handal(gitu/mcm tu dlm bahasa n9 bunyik dia 'handa') jer masuk syurga.
A2. Kalau mama tak kawin dengan papa tak dapatlah korang. Kawen dengan orang lain mesti keluar muka lain.
A3. Bila kena cancer sama macam buku yang mama bace nih (she was reading a book about cancer at that time). Akhir sekali mesti sampai back page. Antara cepat dengan lambat tak kesahlah kita nak ke tak nak.
A4. Kalau mama pergi memang korang akan sedih. Tapi sedih korang sekejap jer banding apa yang mama kena tanggung. Lagi lama mama tunggu lagi sakit.

Itu antara soalan ala-ala sengal aku penah tanye. To think of it mama have her own interesting way in answering those questions. Walaupun almost 16 years mama pergi I always think about her. Jarang sangat tapi ada aku mimpikan dia. Itu dah cukup untuk lepaskan rindu.

Semoga roh mama ditempatkan bersama orang-orang yang beriman dan beramal soleh. Al-Fatihah.
