Gol & Gincu

I am proud to say that this has been one of the most entertaining and refreshing Malay movie I watched so far. Toying with the latest crave, futsal, and girl issues, family relationships, friendship and love. At one point I thought Rafidah was trying to cramped 3R into a movie!! However the script was well laid, with a brilliant cast. I especially like Sazzy’s character here. Her strength lies in the normality of her character. She reflects what a typical modern urban girl would be. Strong and kind-hearted, yet supportive and appreciates friendships. Nor Fazura did her job well. Although a bit over the edge at times. Honestly I haven’t met a girl who’s so girly and socialize openly, maybe not just yet. Rafidah and Kartini are their usual 3R character, in fact I think that Kartini has a lot to offer in the movie industry. To me, she is a symbol of a healthy, successful and positive role model who still looks good although a bit TV-overweight. Teens nowadays need to be fed with the correct values of life. Not into Lindsay Lohan’s underweight issue.

Merdeka, Merdeka, Merdeka!!

The month of merdeka has kicked off again, with plenty of campaigns to the public to mengibarkan the Jalur Gemilang. However I noticed that the Malaysians are not as excited as they were 5 years ago. Perhaps the haze dampens the moods of a celebrated independence.
Talking about merdeka, somehow the public has been confused by the terms used by the government and the media for the 31st August celebration. Some use the ‘Hari Kemerdekaan’, and plenty use the term ‘Hari Kebangsaan’. The Government should be more adamant in the usage of these terms as they refer to different meanings altogether. My understanding for Hari Kemerdekaan is the day to celebrate our beloved country’s independence of penjajahan. As for the latter term, I would likely refer it to the celebration of the union of Malaya, then Singapore, Sabah and Sarawak, which leads to the pembentukan Malaysia. And that was on the 16th of September 1963. however it was less celebrated, which as a Sarawakian, I do feel disappointed.

Commitment-phobic

Yesterday I met my best buddy, J, for a drink at Starbucks Midvalley. He’s down in KL for a week to attend an induction course organized by his agency. Did a lot of catching up, I missed the monkeys in KK, and he was surprised by the number of weddings he missed, especially Azam’s, our OBS troop in DPA. I also conveyed the long-awaited good news of E getting hitched. J was of course shocked, surprised and bewildered. Well, whaddaya expect when you’re the last person in your close circle of friends to be hitched?? I don’t blame him. I am not giving him the pressure either. Think that at 28, a guy still has a lot to explore (ehem ehem) and might not be ready yet to settle down. Besides, J indicated that he’s commitment-phobic and would be a disappointment for girls who’s looking for a long-term relationship with him. I guess that’s why he enjoyed my company so much. I am very much attached, so I will have no qualms of him getting hanky panky somewhere else. Yet I offer the shoulder and ears of an understanding girlfriend. Ahhh….
We were friends, best partner and buddy, so platonic. I did wonder whether J was gay. However he proved that he wasn’t a bit gay. =) Sometimes, I do feel like a cushion that absorbs the momentum of loneliness of these so-called guys.

Singledom of the Singletons

My weekend was spent driving around KL alone, watching movie alone, having snacks and brunches alone, and singing in the car alone. I actually enjoy the freedom of being on my own, although I do long for companionship at times. With Jack on the other part of the country, I am still learning to cope with the singleton status. Somehow when I ponder into the lives of single women I know, I actually relish the idea of having no one to contradict your idea of a nice weekend. My colleague, S, for example, has aged over the big three-ooh for a woman. Yet she enjoys her weekly retail therapy over at IKEA to get over her distant relationship. Her insistence to carry on with her bachelor life is somehow astounding, and earned my due respect.

pC Fairy yippee!!

Last weekend I went to KLCC (the convention centre, not the cuci-mata centre) for one of the most awaited event of the year, the PC Fair. Organised by PIKOM, I found that this time the organisation of the whole event itself is just so successful. The location is definitely another yes for years to come, not to mention the crowd. I was lucky I wasn't infected by all the 'hazardous material', outragous B.O, and octopusses. Haa?? Octopusses??? Yup. Some 'humans' just can't seem to get their 'tentacles' down to themselves. Jeessh!!!

Bought a cool MP3 player cum driver. I was scoring for the pretty Sony one, but the price will choke my bankers.

Then monday came.....
It's not that I have a certain perceptions towards the day monday (or it will kill me everytime!!), I have always liked mondays. This monday, I was looking forward to the Korean serial drama, Full House starring Song Hye Gyo (From th Autumn series) and Rain Bi, the handsome hunk which the The Star wrongly quote as RING today.

Hazy Tuesday

It was 3 pm. I was busy talking on the phone when my colleague, Mr. Know-It-All, waved frantically. He was waving out, you see, so I wasn't really corresponding on what he was doing then. Only after I finished my phone conversation do I realised that the sky was as dark and murky as Sungai Rejang and as gloomy as my boss when the budget wasn't ready on time. A

Although my office is comprised of 70% windows, I wasn't aware of the dorky weather outside. The haze was just like the 1997 Sarawak haze, which I particularly remember because the CM declared a state of emergency and made the whole week a holiday. Which was a yippee then. But haze? In Putrajaya??
