Some of the writings here were published in New Straits Times. Others, are postcards. Friday, September 17, 2010. Screening to the focus group: my family. Suddenly I had a tight knot in my stomach (where were the butterflies? The final cut of the film documentary, all 28 minutes of it complete with title and end credit will be screened in my living room to the most important people: my parents, sisters and their husbands, nieces and nephews and my own family. Age: between eight and 67;. Their feedback is...

Poskad Siti: The Score
http://poskadsiti.blogspot.com/2010/09/score.html
Some of the writings here were published in New Straits Times. Others, are postcards. Friday, September 3, 2010. We had a meeting with Don, the score composer to work out the changes today. Don was very attentive and after reviewing the cut, he agreed to make the changes in just a few days. We were working against an excruciatingly tight deadline. Who will be able to work during Raya? We only have three days to work on the score before handing it over to the sound engineer Christopher Higgs. Ceritera Keh...

Poskad Siti: The last lap
http://poskadsiti.blogspot.com/2010/09/last-lap.html
Some of the writings here were published in New Straits Times. Others, are postcards. Saturday, September 18, 2010. The FreedomFilmFest 2010 organiser had allowed us extra time to complete the film, but we wanted to finish this film ASAP. After last night's screening with the focus group, I noted some corrections that had to be made including a few on the subtitles. The film, as we proudly called it Kisah Tauke Mancis dan Minyak Tumpah, is completed. Labels: Freedom Film Fest. November 25, 2010 at 1:45 PM.

Poskad Siti: Adding sound and subtitles: The trouble with meaning
http://poskadsiti.blogspot.com/2010/09/adding-sound-and-subtitles-trouble-with.html
Some of the writings here were published in New Straits Times. Others, are postcards. Thursday, September 16, 2010. Adding sound and subtitles: The trouble with meaning. Today is Malaysia Day. After 47 years of formation, this year is the first that it is declared as a public holiday and I was working. I made the mistake of stirring the hornets' nest and Sheridan went into lengthy detail on the political logic behind it. (A year ago, his article on the subject appeared in Aliran. Once the final sound mix...

https://poskadsiti.wordpress.com/2012/01/17/pok-long
Slowing down for the ostrich. January 17, 2012. Satiman, a fellow journalist based in Kuala Terengganu, telephoned me this morning. After brief exchange of greetings and the explanation of how he lost his cellphone, he broke the news, Pok Long died. I was choked with emotions. Satiman and I interviewed him at his house in Kampung Bukit Putera, a village in Setiu, about 50 kilometres from Kuala Terengganu, in October last year. And here’s the little film I made of Pok Long, the artist. I have never met hi...

https://poskadsiti.wordpress.com/2010/12/14/stargazing-at-telok-kemang
Slowing down for the ostrich. December 14, 2010. Stargazing at Telok Kemang. I never thought the day would come that I could tell constellations Orion, Taurus, Seven Sisters and Sirius with the naked eye. Last night after dinner Azah asked me if I wanted to catch meteor showers at Telok Kemang, a friend of hers had invited. I would be mad to say no. We found a spot and spread the mat before lying down to gaze at the stars. But there were no stars. Just clouds. Eh? Then there was the Orion or The Hunter, ...

Slowing down for the ostrich. January 2, 2012. Second day of the year, how quickly the year ages. I have been transferred to the lifestyle section of the newspaper as a multimedia journalist. New challenges lie ahead and hopefully I will get to learn more about writing for different media. Outside the window, yellow sun ray on wet green grass, morning sky white and still.
