Zai Kuning's Gone but Here with You
Fresh and Raw from the hospital

For seven long years, a man has not gone a day without whisky. Sometimes a dose, but more often than not a bottle. On 8th August 2009, he finally collapsed, and thus began his topsy-turvy, dizzy-fuzzy and painfully funny self discoverring adventure in the hospital.

Gone but Here with You is an intensely personal account of a man in struggle of finding sobriety in a dozy, fatigued, boorish and thankfully, morphine-equipped medical ward.

Some people are more drunk when they get a new handphone
Some people are more drunk than the drunken when they sell their art work
Some people are more drunk when they get a simple praise
Some people are more drunk when they are arrested
Some people are more drunk if they think they belong to some kind of thing hat shit
Some people are even more drunk when they get bad news of others
Some people get even more drunk when someone dies

I have fear, I have fear not towards these people.
I have fear for my children, friend and family whom I could not protect.

I fear for them because I am a child.
Tell me who you afraid of?
