Wonderful

No one is more hang tuah-ish than M. Nasir.
Got my hands on the VCD and was up all night watching Puteri Gunung Ledang. 6 stars out of 5. Its a very [very x infinity] good movie and i recomend everyone to watch it. The VCD has english and Chinese subtitles. A shame Cinemas like Golden Village and shaw did not play the movie. It deserved to be played in those cinemas.
The movie is like troy, last samurai, matrix, and some others rolled into one. More worth it to watch the movie than all those. The scenes were more than breath taking, sky backdrop with amber streaks. My type of photography, my type of movie. Words cant describe how good a movie it is. And its amazing a malay movie could be this good. Kinda of like being sucked into a vortex of time, you'd wish you were in that era.
I applaud the director, of photography, the cast, the writers and the rest.
Unlike Devdas, the most expensive hindi film, Puteri Gunung Ledang, the most expensive malay film, has substance.
Half way through the movie, i felt as if something was not right. I realised i was reading the english so i covered the bottom of the screen to experience the beautiful malay language.

Its like the best movie i ever watch.

I think i m gonna watch it again.

You guys go watch it too!

Hey there,

Saturday,
Great hot day. Mom had to go to school and melawat orang before we could go to cik lah's house. The mee sop is gonna have to be in my list of Cik Lah's cooking to look forward to [Also in the list is her Beefsteck. Long time ago nyer]. Fuh! Almost like Vietnamese Beef noodles but without tauge but with added fishballs. Eating the one she packed for my mom this instance. The story begins when i requested for something light. I mean raya has always been ketupatlontongsambalgorengmeegoreng all heavy items. Bout time we got some refreshing soup.

After that we made our way to Cik Norli's. Second visit. The atmosphere was strangely "riang". Nenek was smiling ini her Telekong waiting for azan, Ilhan was talkative and when Akiff came, he was also talkative. Mee goreng and satay... mmhmm. Then after afew hours, we headed to Abg Zali's house. The beriyani! Even though i was full, couldnt resist. The achar was the highlight. Akiff was talktive there. Then a short trip to Cik Tipah's. Then went back home. Watched Coming to America [Staring Eddie Murphy] on the indonesian channel. I was too tired to finish watching it. Though i wanted too. 3 and 3/4 stars.

One thing im tired of is listening to my mom's conversations. Being a teacher just increases the amount of things to talk about. And so it goes on and on about the people on the top positions and how stupid they are. If i want to be a teacher i really need to consider my blood pressure levels. Did you know even teachers are graded?

Its the talk of the town. How can i not be a part of it?
Repulsive = Sylvester if that is the equation, thus repulsive = his fans
i sure hope he doesnt win. Come on, he sings like shit. The voice of the toilet flushing.
Taufik. I really really hope he wins. I got a good feeling about it, my bulu roma indicates so. [Bulu roma, the hair on the back of my neck.] Aint no sunshineeeee when shes gone! That song shoud've been the closing number baru impact bagui. Nevertheless the feeling is similar to listening to Idan Taal. All the best ah.

We, the sane people of Singapore, the ones with ears, the ones who are not hormonal teenage girls smittened by pseudo smiles, will become a majority and support talent. Because we as a whole can outnumber any amount of shallow teenage girls, ah bengs or ah lians. I m sure even some of them have ears, and will vote talent.

Well it was either supporting taufik or dissing Sylvester. Did both. heh.

Frankly i think its for the best. You will never understand. I shall remain nonchalant. SS.

Talent lives on,

Bbq pit yesterday.

Okay ah. But spending 150 over dollars for 12 people is not justifiable. I m sorry CW. There just was too much excess. 80 plastic cups [2 packets of 40]? hehehe.. Wasted okay. The next time i go to a class pit i make sure i tag along when they go gocery shopping. haha There were prawn balls, sotong balls, crab meat, satay, otah and my chicken. Garlic bread? Smores? hahah weird lah.. But i still had fun. And the beach was great. Wanted to get wet though...heh.

Nice Sky.


Lonely.


Naik gila.

I really really sorry. But you started it first. hehe.

I need to dikir this stress out!

HAHAHA

Yesterday, Visited friends' house. Those that went

Zul, Zul's gf, Zack, Shidah, Fareha, Me, Zaini, Hidayah, Hakim, Hadi[back] Fairuz and Hafiz


Back: Fairuz Hafiz Hadi Fareha Zack Zul Hakim Hidayah
Front: Zaini Firah[not sure] Shidah Me

Shutterfly's taking its time so the albums would be delayed.

Here are some pics @ rumah Cik rafi on Saturday


Mothers: Cik Tipah, Cik Lah, My Mom, Nenek, Mami Banu, Cik Norli.


Ilhan. Nice pic huh?


Just an arty pic i took hehe.

Today's the class bbq. I'm marinating the chicken. woohoo. hahahah. Orange Honey Chicken Wings.

SOME PEOPLE JUST CANT THINK BEFORE THEY DO SOMETHING. Can say they knew it would happen but dont have the fcking brains to stop it from happening. There's something called Sopan. Even Husbands and wifes dont do that at a guest's house. As much as you guys are my good friends, you should limit you mengeseling. Fck if you dont like what i'm shoving up your face!

Red hot,

Good day

Being a Narcissist, i pilfered pictures of containing me from Kakak Ya's album. hehe

Saturday
Went a couple of houses but the food at Cik Rafi's house was the best ah.. The rice was so good you could eat it on its own. Not at all inspired by gardenia bread. After which went to Ocean park but found out that we were too early. The house is like whoa. Like the toilet lah.. Exactly what i had in mind. the Door like a traditional morrocan one.


Me and Khabir. Noora still doesnt believe its a table runner. It really is.


Me, Fadzli, Khabir & Sahar.


Me and Sahar minding own business. Sahar siting on the chair i broke that night. Bloody me.


With Ira. That night hyper. Enjoyed your company!

Sunday was interesting cos it seemed like the first day. We were at cik amdan's, nenek was at the usually room, That amount of first day kecohness was present, Cik Tipah's family and we all wear first day baju oso. Really like first day.


Abg Farzeel, Kakak Ya, Kakak Kirah and me. At Cik Amdan's House.


Kakak Ya and me. Minum Pakai Pipi

Till we meet again.

hallo

Havent decide what to do yet. Thinking of going out. You know? Maybe go to the beach or something.

Its sucks when i m envious of everything you have right down to your hair. Hey i live with it.

Wanna review [outdated]movies.

The Beach.
Watched it on the Indonesian channel RCTI 1 or 2 am in the morn. Always thought it would be a lame movie. But suprised i was when it was much of a movie that requires intelligence. It was like a well written book. Paradise is not a place but a moment. Woo 4 stars

Tootsie
I didnt even finish watching this when it aired on Channel 5 late at night some time. About an actor who needs $ka-ching$ for a production and so becomes a woman in a soap opera. then all the complications ah. Like fall in love with female co actor. Can ah.. just those movies you watch to make you tired and fall asleep. 2 and a half stars.

Puteri Gunung Ledang.
A malay blockbuster film. I wanna watch!

What if we talk, can?

Go work,

Sesuci na na na na na.

Haha typical Raya songs

Eid so far has been more manageble than expected. Expected a big crowd to come at the same time but people just took their time. Boring a bit. Even at cik tipah's house yesterday the crowd was managble. Eid is colourful when you have an enourmous family. Lots of toddlers and Anak-anaks.

Bilakah lah aku nak kahwin dapat anak? heh. lagi lama dude.

[ALAMAK i didnt even carry anyone of them. Their names also i not sure. Salah. Amir is spell Ameer and Azura's actually Azra] Haiyah.. Wrong info


Cousins. Very laid back ah.

More pics soon to come.

Sarah and Helfi SMSed me which made my day. Apparently the Hari Raya card i sent them made their day. This is why i send cards.

I usually say Eid Mubarak cos its shorter but i needed to feel the space. Any wrong doinging i have done online i hope you would forgive me. Let bygones be bygones.

Left-over Hari Raya card from last year. There were only three. So I mailed them to friends. I mailed on friday so i guess you guys will only get it on tuesday.

Conferm already. Grand nenek will be here. Hari Raya First day at my small house.

Yesterday Suria played XX Ray II. I used to have a tape of that show. Love the fighting scene between Hang Tuah and Seri Bayu [Jalaluddin Hassan & Ida Nerina] at the sultans court. Awesome man

Gotta go help do stuff. Have a great holiday all..

I like the song too.
Forgive me hahah..

I do a retro 70s dance move which involves swinging your shoulds back an forth everytime i listen to this song

okay here it goes.

Suara tangis yang kau dengar -This cry that you hear
Memecah hari kudus ini - Breaks this blessed day
Adalah aku -[together with the next translation]
Mengenang pemilikmu - I think of Him.

Kita pohon kemenangan - We pray for victory
Meroboh kota keakuan - Collapsing the fort of confessions
Ini saatnya - this is the second
Yang kunanti-nanti - i've been waiting for

Mereka yang dilanda derita - Those that are suffering
Redhalah harimu kan tiba - believe that the day would come
Cahaya kekasih yang benar - Light from your true loved ones
Menghapus segala api kemarahan - Abolishes all fire of anger

Salam dunia - Greetings World
Salam semua - Greetings All
Salam Hari Raya - Greetings Hari Raya
Bersinar akhirnya - It Finally Shines
Salam dunia
Salam semua
Salam Hari Raya
Bersinar akhirnya

Inilah hari kita - This is the day
Tiada lagi rasa ketakutan - We dont feel scared

Inilah hari kita oh...

Malay is not easy to translate especially since it uses alot of metaphors and you'd always have to read between the lines. Its worse if you're not really good at that subject. heh.
I tried my best. Correct me if i'm wrong.
There's an online Dictionary i would soon put in my links.

Holiday season. Whats there to like? The three youngest siblings seem to be on life support with the computer. Couldnt even get my hands on the mouse yestereday. I dont think i'll get another opportunity soon thus i'm blogging. hah. They are playing the game Battlefield 1942. I tried it. Call me a sissy but i really cant play this kind of games ah. The graphics.. too real for me that i go sea sick after playing. And its like that for other similar games and Viking ship rides. Cannot ah.. want to vommit. But the game fun ah.. Just the sea sick part that makes me think twice before i control a bazooka to blast who knows what.

Today Cui Hua, my classmate is gonna introduce me to a job. Quite interested to earn cash. Flexible hours etc. But i still dont know what i will be doing. She said use internet to earn. [Mata beliak] So basically its a MYSTERY till i meet her @ 7.30pm.
The other day i saw an phone ad. Sony Ericsson K500i for $323 with no line. Blasted thing only lasted for two days. Cilake. Sigh. The phone would probably lift the burden from pockets. I need to bring phone, camera and bulky walkman. Why not get the fusion of all that huh?

Behave.

Hey



A blurred pic. Nevertheless a recent obsession. Tamara Bleszynski. Manis sungguh gadis yang senyum menawan.

Hari raya is really near. Thus a new old song. Best Hari Raya song i would say. Just to get into the festive feel.


Salam Dunia -- M. Nasir

Suara tangis yang kau dengar
Memecah hari kudus ini
Adalah aku
Mengenang pemilikmu

Kita pohon kemenangan
Meroboh kota keakuan
Ini saatnya
Yang kunanti-nanti

Mereka yang dilanda derita
Redhalah harimu kan tiba
Cahaya kekasih yang benar
Menghapus segala api kemarahan

Salam dunia
Salam semua
Salam Hari Raya
Bersinar akhirnya
Salam dunia
Salam semua
Salam Hari Raya
Bersinar akhirnya

Inilah hari kita
Tiada lagi rasa ketakutan

Inilah hari kita oh...


Celaka. haha but i'm still smiling. Wasnt trying to lick anyone's *ss. Just amazed by the unshakledness and dauntlessness. I probably should start doing that too. Cowardice. Now, who cares what people think?

Hello.

I'm supposed to be at the mosque right now. Doing tests perhaps. Well decided not to go or take the test either. I dowan to take ah.. Hope the rest are doing fine.

Friday
After prayers i made my way to Beach road. I was looking for someTHING. While doing that i inspected bags for when school reopens. Beach road level 3 was a new experience although i've been to level 1 a couple of times. So there i was walking in circles looking for the THING. Most of the time i was aimless. Walk summore till i ended up at bugis. Took a bus to paya lebar and got the roller. $1 only. I got myself 2. Went home after that.

After break fast i went to Rumah Cik Tipah to deliver some "goods". Shhh! dont let anybody hear. I might get in trouble. hush. So i took my yellow bike and paddled my way to Cik Tipah's house. Lucky there werent any policemen in sight. Or so i thought. Nearing my destination at the walkway under the MRT track. There was a group of 4 people, two woman, two men, all wearing shades in the darkness of night. I should've known! the C/I/D. When they realised their disguises were more than pathetic and did not fool me, they chased me. Pinned me to the ground. Thank goodness i watch TV and mastered the technique of sending people flying away with a dominating pose and dry ice smoke through chinese Kungfu serials and Indonesian ones too. True enough they werent sent flying ungracefully and fell hard on their backs. With a filck of my ankle while hovering in the air, my bicycle that was lying on the floor stood up. My buttocks hit the seat and i made my escape. The four victims of duplicated television violence were left massaging their head, shoulder with a face of discomfort [Just like in the television.]
Okay okay.. So i only brought planta, ghee and semolina flour to Cik Tipah's house.

Any resemblance to anyone living or dead is totally unintentional. An ant was harmed during the fliming. It peacfully rests under my bicycle tyre.

I better start painting my room.

Went to M'sia yesterday for my Family's Monthly stock-up-the-house-with-essential-nonsense-till-we-drop-and-no-more-cupboard-space. I always have fun rolling the long reciept. The trip home was a bit slow.

You're such a sad ass ah.. I guess thats why they call you sadist.

No idea. no idea.

Fast one before i go for prayers.

Kenapa lah?

On tuesday i went for tarawih. First time. Did all twenty rakaats. Witir sekali. Pissed that it may not even be sah. Long story. Hope god give some alowances..

Less than 9 days to Hari Raya and i havent paint my room. Gonna get those cheap rollers for Geylang baZaar i saw the other day. Not sure what to do yet but its gonna be white.

Theres this damn pretty woman on RCTI. Her name's Tamara B[something]. Gorgeous indonesian. Mixed perhaps.

I really didnt know kelkatu wrote for putera dewa. Thats till you tagged and i watched the last VCD containing the Yusof kelong performance and the prize ceremony. I like the 1st karut matang. Combining 3 peribahasas was just wicked.
Bagaimana acuan begitulah kuih nya.
