AKU TAKNAK JADIK HITAM, GELAP. EVEN MICHAEL JACKSON PUN TAKNAK.

Gosh, I am having a serious sunburn.

The radiation was excessive during the shooting of Bersamamu in Ayer Hitam, burning my skin, leaving burn marks on my hands, my face and even on my feet.

I was having fatigue as well, mild dizziness as a result to over exposure to the sun.

However, Im glad. The family of makcik Salmah of Kampung Cahaya Baru in Ayer Hitam, received helps from many quarters.

Even the Yang Berhormat of DUN Semarang, Johor were very helpful.

Malahan, ibu tunggal anak lapan ni dah dibantu sebelum ini.

Dia seorang yang tabah membesarkan tujuh anaknya (seorang sudah berkahwin) selepas kehilangan suaminya hampir setahun lalu. Nantikan episod makcik Salmah melalui program Bersamamu nanti. Anak sulungnya yang sudah berkahwin, sanggup berkorban demi memastikan adik adiknya memperolehi pendidikan yang sewajarnya.

Malah seorang adiknya kini menuntut di Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris di Perak. Alhamdulillah.

Hari pertama shooting, it was raining cats, dogs and hamsters (pinjam quote superzac), and we were drenched, yet the shooting has to continue.

Second day, panas sampai senja. Senja hujan.

Third day, hujan tengahari, and it was the last day of the shooting.

But makcik ni memang best. Dia sentiasa senyum dan bergurau dengan kami. Mudah mudahan Allah SWT akan memudahkan urusannya dalam membesarkan anak-anaknya dan terus diberikan ketabahan dan kesabaran menempuhi segala dugaan. Dan mudah mudahan anak-anaknya akan menjadi anak yang baik dan berguna pada keluarga, masyarakat dan agamanya.

SUNBURN

Now, aku tengah cari the best solution untuk redakan dryness and rasa dehydrated ni.

Some suggested Aloe Vera.

Some suggested UV Lotion.

Tulah, patutnya aku pakai sunblock cap bot pisang tapi lupa nak bawak sebab bawak kereta sponsor. So terlupalah nak pindahkan bebarang tu semua.

Tapi, seriously, I can't be having dark skin altho my family roots say otherwise, sebab later kalau aku pi mana-mana restoran or any shops, they will ignore me sebab I have dark skin, and Malaysians are known to be glorifying kulit yang cerah. Serious. Better start applying the cream now. Till then.

I found an article here by P. Ravi Shankar, P. Subish, Department of Pharmacology, Manipal College of Medical Sciences, Pokhara, Nepal.

".. pale skin is considered as social markers or aristocratic lineage and class allegiance. Dark skin is associated with labour and field work in the Sun. White, yes white skin has a colonial notion of power and superiority.."

And let me pinjam end quote DonCorleone : Keep It Cool - Use Sunblock.
