Pungguk Rindukan Bulan

If you bought last Sunday Star, I'm sure you would have glanced through the acompanying edition of MStar, The Star's weekly Malay tabloid. There's this 2-page focus on our Angkasawan, Datuk Dr. Sheikh Muszaphar. The article mentions much about his impending marriage on the 10th of October. Supposedly the 'wedding of the decade', to be witnessed by 100 astronauts from 35 countries! Sounds exciting doesn't it? A good attempt to trump the Siti-Datuk K wedding. Unfortunately, if you look at the photoshoot, he doesn't look like he's on top of the world. Just read his eyes. So pained. It's as though someone stabbed his heart with a keris and twisted it for good measure.

Isn't he looking forward to spending the rest of his life with the woman he loves? Or is he pining for something else? The unreachable castle in the sky....?

he is like a male version of anne heche, a gaybeen [does this term even exist?lol]
many gays who are bored with gaylife will eventually turn straight, it's not really a big deal to me, just as much as many str8 ppl turn to gay later.

i remember meeting him. he was nice. we took a few shots together. he has very happy n alert eyes. so in a sense yr observation is not too far off... perhaps he had a toothache on the day of this photoshoot :)

We rather think of him trying to emulate Lady Gaga's eyes.

So, do you think he will be caught in a raid in Penang in the future?
Gratitude said…

If all fails, Chef Ismail is there ma! lolz

@Nicky:
You go verify la!

@Beng2:
Maybe sakit puan. :P

@Jan:
Lady Gaga? Fail! Penang raid ah? Hehehe. Maybe Serm will see him there.

@Grat:
The makeup is by Shu Uemura. >_<"
Jom buat kuih raya!

The photographer lousy la. Must shoot at the right moment (But in another sense, it was the right moment, if that moment was the window to the truth). Also he must have agreed to use the photo for the press release. And that raises more question, eg secret message in his eyes to someone who will understand? Hmmmm

BTW, care translate your Malay proverb/title? Thanks. :-)

his eyes look very empty...

I guess, it was a bad day for him. :P.
"Pungguk" is a type of bird. And "Bulan" is the moon. It means that the bird is pining for the moon. Something unattainable. There is story behind this, but I have forgotten it.

@CountA:
Kesian kan...
Alex said…
Shucks... he's missing out male chickens and zucchinis!
William said…
Not to mention the ducks.
