Tak Perlulah aku Mengelilingi Dunia…

That is at least after my recent trip to Indonesia and after watching the most amazing movie called Laskar Pelangi. This might sound unacceptable to some, but after 12 days travelling from Jakarta to Middle Java and back, enough to make me fall in love with the nation, well, that is another story.

As for Laskar Pelangi, it was certainly different from the normal cheesy Malay/Indo love theme flick shown one after another. Even though Love also being the big part of this feature, the story about those Belitong kids keeping up with education and modernization with two feet held firmly on the ground manage to make me cried few times (although trying hard to hold back). Andrea wrote a beautiful story that the movie might not capture its best, but a very good job indeed. Kudos. Every scene touch my heart dearly. Even cooler that Nidji were chosen to write the movie’s OST. The song is so poetic and equally beautiful, enough to give me goose bump every time I hear it.

Laskar Pelangi
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mimpi adalah kunci untuk kita menaklukkan dunia
Berlarilah tanpa lelah, sampai engkau meraihnya
Laskar pelangi...Takkan terikat waktu.
Bebaskan mimpimu di angkasa, raih bintang di jiwa
Menarilah dan terus tertawa, walau dunia tak seindah surga
Bersukurlah pada yang kuasa, cinta kita di dunia
Selamanya...
Cinta kepada hidup, memberikan senyuman abadi
Walau hidup kadang tak adil, tapi cinta lengkapi kita
Laskar pelangi…Takkan terikat waktu
Jangan berhenti mewarnai, jutaan mimpi di bumi
Menarilah dan terus tertawa, Walau dunia tak seindah surga
Bersukurlah pada yang kuasa, cinta kita di dunia
Selamanya...

Maafkan bila ku tak sempurna II

Finally got the chance to watch Ayat-ayat Cinta on TV3 (or was it TV9?) although the DVD were always there in the rack. Anyways, in the tradition of movie made based on a novel, there had to be changes all over the place to fit into the two hour viewing pleasures or otherwise we’ll have to wait for two days for the ending. My advice to those who happened to be into it, go read the book, much much better perspective. So, what do I think about it? Being an emotional person myself, I had to shed a tear or two, well; there are few moments worth being teary about and ponder upon. This kind of movie always made me INSAF for a while, made me wonder if there will ever be a FAHRI for me out there (although there are few things I can’t agree with J) and will I ever be as close as AIshah being the bigger person? Mmm…

And while watching that, I was also preparing for tomorrow’s makan-makan with close friends with mommy and Siti, Siti is the mastermind anyway. I just went along with it. Why? Not that I am not a good hostess. One thing that I will never be excited about is the idea of cooking! I just am too lazy ok, not lazy, well, I am just not into it (just like guys can be NOT INTO IT sometimes). I can help with the preparations or tidying up, but cooking, I am just… uninterested. So, what will that make me? I wonder sometimes if that a reason God haven’t found a Jodoh for me, you know, human nature… bla… bla… men will like to marry someone who can cook ya? take care of their food etc. *sigh* And there was a question, “dah tu kalau hang suka satu2 makanan tu takkan tak nak belajar membuatnya?” Well, I can buy it right? Or pay someone to do it for me? I do cook a little bit though; sometime in a blue moon; when I Really, Really into it. Rarely, but I tried and will try it again, just don’t push me… please…

Then again, maybe it’s just me.

Perhaps I do need a pusher, not the illegal kind, the motivational kind. Believe me when I said (as you were being told more than once), I am the most DEMOTIVATED person in my world at least. I am still waiting for the day; I got inspired and eventually do something about it. It will be more amazing if one particular individual can find their way to my miserable so-called personality and change that about me.

Geramnya...


Yep, that’s my car. Yep, I am pissed off. Some nerve people have doing that during Hari Raya, while we were visiting friend. Grrr. What’s worse is when you will be blamed for this for the rest of my life, the “what if?” symptom throughout my pathetic life.

*sigh*
