Adnan Sempit 2

Watched with my beloved mum-to-be to my kid, my wife!! at Space U8. This is our & my first movie at Space U8 Bkt Jelutong.

OK. we arrived there late. We missed like 15 minits of the movie.

But we decided to just watch it because, it is Adnan Sempit!!! You won't miss any important scenes. Simply because every scene are important (or not).

Movie lawak gila babas sambungan dari Adnan Sempit first yang boom!! Movie ini tiada beza kerana semua scene lawak memang lawak pecah gelak pecah panggung.

Kalau first AS pasala Adnan nak ngorat Nadia, this one Adnan nak convince parent Nadia pulak.

Nothing much to komen sebab movie ni memang sempoi, direct, lawak, gelak la sampai puas.

Kualiti lakonan?? Susah nak cakap sebab intention of this movie memang untuk lawak, nothing serius. So, I don't know lakonan yang obvious nampak fake tu intended to be like that or memang pelakonnya kayu tak reti berlakon. hehe.

Finally... happy ending ler....

Enjoy!!

Azura 2012

I was so excited when I first heard of this; Azura in cinema? then I heard it is Azura 2012. I started to wonder why Azura? what it has to do with the old Azura? Is it a sequel? I thought so, I thought it is a continuity of the old Azura, where maybe their kids are now facing new love challenge or something.

Went to watch with my beloved wife at KLCC.

Azura 2012 really surprised me because it turned out something I did not expect (obviously, daaa)....

It is a refreshed product of old Azura. Have you watched King Kong? oh, of which year's you watched it? or even Hulk?? similar here!!!

Azura 2012 starred by the awesome-figured Neelofa (a BOM in Malaysia entertainment industry since she won Dewi Remaja)!!

OK. I assume many people knows Azura movie (either old or new). So I won't go to summary/sinopsis of the movie. The story line is the same.

My view to this new Azura.... It is still THAT simple Azura. the plot is presented straight forward. very light movie (just like the old one). Very light. Simple. Just watch. See. Feel (a bit). You get it. You understand it. That's all.

If you like mind-challenging movie, this is not your movie. Hehe.

In term of the acting quality, everyone did great job except for the bitchy sister. She's FAILED big time for this movie. When everyone has perform their role perfectly, she is like, I don;t know how to describe. I even wonder why she is in the movie. Because of her look? no way, she's not pretty. She can act? no she can't, everything look fake. Ok next!!

as for the star appearance of Ogy & Faizal hussein, that was real classic.

After all, kudos to Neelofa!! You made the movie. Haha.

Chiao!

Tanjung Pagar

Tersentap sungguh aku bila TERtengok Majalah3 9July2011 yang mendokumentarikan perkhidmatan keretapi Tanah Melayu terakhir ke/dari Tanjung Pagar, last beroperasi 30Jun2011.

Aku tak pernah tahu NILAI Tanjung Pagar, sehinggalah aku sendiri menjejakkan kaki ke stesen keretapi penuh sejarah itu pada 18Mei 2011.

The story goes….

AKu ada company training di Singapore pada 18Mei… Malamnya, aku naik tren KTM, dari KL Sentral, tak dapat tiket berkatil, so aku tidur duduk sepanjang perjalanan. Sampai di Woodland sekitar 7am. Dan Tanjung Pagar lebih kurang jam 8 lebih.

Sebaik keluar dari tren, aku rasa umpama bermimpi.Bangunan yang menjadi stesen tren ini.... sungguh.... sungguh istimewa... sungguh unik... aku rase bagaikan aku baru sahaja turun dari sebuah kapsul masa, menjengah ke tahun 60an-70an... Bangunan, warna, pencahayaan, juga kedai makan yang ada, LANGSUNGA TIDAK DITELAN ZAMAN. Langsung tidak terkesan walaupon Singapura telah pesat membangun. Bangunan stesen keretapi Tanjung Pagar, kekal di abad ke20. Aku kagum..... Terasa aura keistimewaan stesen. As simple as that.

Aku mengambil tren pulang pada jam 10mlm 18Mei itu juga. So, sekali lagi kakiku memijak lantai bangunan kolonial yang menyimpan sejuta sejarah itu, sekali lagi bulu romaku meremang. Ia sungguh istimewa.

Lebih mengejutkan aku, sewaktu beratur memasuki tren, aku lihat bendera Malaysia yang banyak. Kemudian kuterlihat KASTAM DI-RAJA MALAYSIA. Apakah ini? Baruku faham, ku rasa, Tanjung Pagar masih dimiliki Malaysia, menjadi satu-satunya aset Malaysia yang masih milik Malaysia di tanah Temasik ini. Selepas melalui kastam Malaysia, lalu pula kastam Singapura. Kemudian di Woodland, baru paspot di-cop untuk sah KELUAR Singapura.

Aku dapat tiket berkatil untuk perjalanan pulang, justeru aku dapat tidur lena, suatu pengalaman istimewa, tidur dalam tren atas katil, dengan selesa hinggalah sampai ke KL. Tidak kusangka itulah kali terakhir aku dapat merasai pengalaman indah di stesen Tanjung Pagar.

Sempat otakku berkira-kira. Singapura pernah menjadi sebahagian Malaysia. Tapi sebaik Singapura merdeka, tidak kusangka, Tanjung Pagar kekal menjadi sejarah istimewa. 1932-2011, itulah tempoh operasi tren dari Tanjung Pagar, merentasi tanah Malaya. Ia melalui zaman perang, zaman penjajahan, zaman perjuangan kemerdekaan, Tanah Malaya, malah menjadi sebahagian Singapura yang merdeka, dan menjejak zaman millenium, barulah ia berhenti.

Persoalan yang masih tiada jawapan konkrit dariku, kenapa bendera Malaysia memenuhi ruang menaiki tren di Tanjung Pagar? Adakah itu tanah kita? Tanah Malaysia? Mengapa KTM telah berhenti? Adakah ia bererti Tanjung Pagar juga telah bertukar milik?

Walau apa pun, padaku, Tanjung Pagar sangat bererti, biarpun aku hanya pernah SEKALI ke sana. Istimewa. Dan aku tidak bersendirian. Menerusi Majalah3 hari tu juga, pada pekerja KTM di Tanjung Pagar juga berkongsi perasaan yang sama. Dapat kurasakan aura perasaan yang sama lahir dari getar suara mereka ketika berkongsi pengalaman dan pendapat dengan penutupan Tanjung Pagar.

Tren terakhir datang dan pergi dari Tanjung Pagar sekitar 11malam, 30 Jun 2011 (kira-kira 6 minggu selepas kunjunganku).

Tanjung Pagar, dalam kenangan.

now u see what I'm talkin about?

and, the comfy bed!!

Barcelona vs Manchester United

I am talking about an epic battle here. What more can we ask, two teams at their peak, winning their domestic tittle - best 2 leagues in the world. English and Spanish league. and playing a final in one of the most legendary stadium on Earth, the Wembley. The background itself is already an epic. PERFECTO.

Actually, once United confirmed their place in final, this final is already an epic to be, because waiting is either Real Madrid or Barcelona. Of cos Barcelona holds the better reputation now, but even if Madrid made it to final, United vs Madrid in Wembley still an epic isn't it.

United had not conceded any goal en route to this final. that is a record itself. and Barcelona, whoever watched their game against Real, people will say nobody gonna beat them. They hold the ball tremendously well. and the quick, one touch pass, BEAUTIFUL.

As a United fan, I could dream an IDEAL final. Lets start with the line up.

Van der Sar, Rafael, Vidic, Rio, Evra, Valencia, Giggs, Carrick, Park, Chica, Rooney. subs: lindegard, Fabio, O'Shea, Nani, Scholes, Owen.

I am hoping for lots of goal. So, hopefully Messi scores. hopefully Chicarito score with Giggs assist. but then, lets hope for Barca to score another. then Giggs out, Scholes in. Then Chicarito out Owen in. Also Rafael out, Fabio in. then Scholes score a scorching equaliser. in 90th minute Van der Sar made a superb save. then Owen score a winner in injury time with Rooney's assist.

Game over. United 3- Barca 2.

also, Van der Sar hang his golve, as Scholes hang his boot. And let Owen do the same, he should retire as a champion, a winner.

perfect!

Living A Childhood Dream

Have you ever fulfilled any of your childhood dream?

How does it feel?

Do you feel how the blood flows to the whole muscle and your brain so peacefully.

It is a mind therapy, really.

It is so exciting, that you remember I how excited you were as a kid. Really.

After been inactive blogging, 4months… Lots have changed in my life…. Maybe not much, but it is a change that I can really feel.

Workin life is not that hard, not that bad. And I kinda like it quite much. Will share about the change in life in another post maybe, but will brag about living a childhood dream this time.

I recall sometimes when I was 7 to 15(or less), it such an exciting thing to see big bikes in a big group passing by abah’s car, or passing by wherever we (me and sisters/family) are…

And as a child, getting excited with what we see is incomplete without a feeling to do the same. A dream. “Angan-angan” skeptical people call. But “impian“ for those who are daring enough to put it as a goal in life. Ops, better stop, I can brag specific about this in another post itself.

So, here I am living a dream. A bikers or a rider is me now. Riding a not so big, yet too big to call small bike (kapcai we call it) to office and back everyday…. And go for ride/tour/convoy in the weekend, it just a dream comes true, literally.

I have hundreds of dreams, that I will definitely make it true – with God’s permission InsyaAllah!!

So, yea. Now I have a Kawasaki ZX2R (official name). It is more known as Ninja 250. 250 tells its cc. Ninja is the famous name since their older brother era.

Despite the small cc (below 250 actually, 249), that allows rider with B2 license to drive it, Ninja’s body kit made it look really big, superbike looks. Awesome!! And, with it’s price, very cheap for a superbike, it become a must for beginner to superbike world.

Despite Kawasaki is abah’s unfavored motor brand, but since Ninja is the only 250 in Malaysia market, so be it. For me to wait to be qualified to own a CBR600, it might take too long, so why wait when I am qualified now? And, mathematically, I only suitable for CBR600 3 years from now, well by that time I will still buy CBR, but I can still enjoy my NOW time, with this Baby Superbike!!

When I say dream come true, and the feels in it, I refer to go ride with big groups. The biggest I had so far was ride to MotoGP 2010, organized by Kawasaki, so all models were there. 300 bikes involved. From Titiwangsa to Sepang, 2 lane formation, all junctions blocked, the feeling while riding was superb! The pride…. It just not explainable.

That ride was the moment I realize, I AM LIVING MY CHILDHOOD DREAM. Yes I am. That was the moment I feel the pure adrenaline, a blissful one, bursting into my every living cells.

I now know, this is it. This is one the things that I dreamt when I was so young, so innocent, when all the WANTS are pure from heart, no bad intention what so ever. It is a sincere want, admiration, nothing to do with lust nor other hidden agenda.

And I remember what have I experienced since riding my sportbike, even from my first ever convoy, just 5 bikes, for balik raya trip. Even at 80kph, when bumped with family car on the highway, the kids wave at us… the feeling is just soooo beautiful…. It recalls the childhood memory when I did the same. Undescribable.

Noticing that, made me believe, with a little courage, mix with some commitment, whatever my dream is, is possible. Very possible. And actually it is not that hard, quite simple, easy. All you have to do, is just DO. Really, simple as that.

Since 2003, I was lucky to meet people who believe in grabbing the dreams. That kept me the strong believe too. But, I would say here, once you commit, you will see miracle.

I am lucky to be able to make a brave decision, after just 2 months working, to commit to buy bike, which not many people support the idea, where they “rational”ly think that I better buy an affordable car (MyVi as example) which I DON’T WANT. Why should I buy and use something I don’t want, and not even desperately needed. From that one big decision, sufficient effort were put, and that’s it, it comes real, despite some hiccups in the process(why worry, there’s always challenge to get anything isn’t it?).

And ever since owning it, boring is not a usual word to me anymore.

I am enjoying this dream in the awaken life, not sleeping. This is really something. I believe it is something to everyone, when you can live in your dream in real life. Whatever your dream is.

Adios. Good luck!!
