responds of the movies are too slow, boring!
me, i just love the notion of the story, fresh idea. i am content with the movie.
i am no brad pitt fan, so i dont have expectations.
friends, they love brad pitt, so they found the movie slow and boring. they want the handsome brad pitt :) i think.
brad pitt has changed my perception of him in this film - he can actually act.
i judge him as a commercial actor. so he knows how to act in typical action or commercial movies but a no-no star in a film as an epic as this. i thought, can he act such as tom hanks or even leonardo(at least) in serious movies? so i was wrong. i think he carries benjamin button just fine.
I dont find the movie a slow pace since i dont know which scene can the director fasten it up. it is in good pace. the people he met, the touch they imprint in his heart and what i like is the touch that he marks on others' hearts. i can see benjamin treasures life and he views it differently from others as he is afraid of getting younger instead of getting older.
It triggers me, If i have a choice of getting younger or older, i choose getting older. reverse aging is scary, you have to sacrifice a lot.
i appreciate the movie. it's a warm movie. i dont need climax in this movie, just a journey of the life is enough. i am overwhelmed by the movie today than yesterday. and i feel pity who dont fit as the curious case of benjamin button audience. however, i understand why they dont appreciate that kind of movie. different people, different view.
the fact that the writer fiztgerald wrote it in 1920s really trigger me that writers in those years have eyes beyond imaginations.
but i believe all movies that have sacrifices or hardships are paid off by the love and hope they have to make them go on and value life more.
p/s i watched so many slower movies than this, but what i like most of the slow movies are the novel idea they portray..

Do you agree?
Do you agree with me, that a normal person should perasan herself to be beautiful? i can tell by a person's picture taken by oneself. it's ok to find yourself pretty :)
a few closed friends of mine, we do say something about "cantik gak kite ni yek" or "cantik gak aku ni ye :) " and we are proud and we had our laughs.
but the reason i write down this entry is that there is a friend who doesnt share this kind of feeling cantik. i dunno if she doesnt find herself cantik, but i think she does feel pretty but afraid to express something like "cantik gak gambo aku yg ni ye" yet when one of her friends say so, she doesnt go with the flow and i would say unintentionally hurt a little tiny bit of her friend's feeling.
in that case, i found that friend a little abnormal hehehe
i use to friend with people when say something pretty about themselves, the other friends would support and say something like "a'a la....cantik gambo ko yg ni :)" (dgn syarat, gambo tu mmg cantik la hehe) and when i finally met someone who doesnt feel the same way, i am quite shocked. sbb tak pernah jumpa org mcm ni, so my first thought was "rupanya, ade gak org mcm ni"
maybe dia plak rasa aku yg abnormal hehe... :p
so i learn my lesson not to say such things in front of her, but just in front of my other friends
who can accept that kind of praises for themselves.
to me, when you are with your frineds who you trust, you dont feel embarrass to share things that you dont actually disclose to other people. tentang boyfren la, tentang org mcm mana yg dia suka la, their crushes la.. or share sinful gossips to your friends that you know can keep secrets, no telling others.
i have set of friends that i can share with but i think i can tell everything to just one. i feel comfortable to share my perasans or my shames to her. she doesnt make faces and you can tell she is sincere to listen and doesnt judge.

slumdog millionaire
what make this movie the best movie, receiving awards around the world? that makes me want to sit as an audience in a cinema, rather than buy a dvd.
i am contented with the screenplay.. nothing to criticized..what i am not pleased is that, there was no substitles. Hindustani english is not my thing. susah skit nak paham. the accent needed my concentration. so ada lah part2 yg terlepas sbb tak paham. geram lak. i never failed to watch a movie in cinema without subtitles, citer melayu pun aku rasa ada subtitles. tiba2, slumdog millionaire takde plak. if the english is american or british, i can still get it. although i am quite a hindustani fan, (depends la pelakon dia sape kan hehe) tp kalau diorang ckp english, aku still ada masalah memahami ape yg dicakapkan. so can u imagine, the whole story they talk in english?
slumdog millionaire is an eye opener too. no wonder, people in mumbai or india as general dislike the fact of poverty and children-dgn sampah, kotor, kehinaan all those portray in this film. but love and hope drive the movie and you can see how people moving on because of what they hold on to after all the strives.

negotiation skill @ mid valley
I bought a watch yesterday...but it is not the centre of the story. I bought it at mid valley and the thing that surprised my friends is i negotiated. "Berapa harga jam ni?" aku baru cakap " harga dia RM379 tapi aku dapat..."
"ko nego! boleh eh?"
aku mcm "eh.. tak boleh ke?"
the chinese woman gave me 15% discount when i said "berapa u boleh bg i?"
than i said "ala, kurang lagi la..."
kurang 20%, then she said harga last dia boleh bagi RM300. She said it harga dinding. i negotiated more and that pissed her off huhuh...
so the malay sales girl layan aku plak and she said she remembered me...so i said to her...
"cina tu nak bg i RM300, i nak RM290, kita amik jln tengah la, RM295." so the girl calculated and agreed.
SO i got 22% discount. hehe....my lowest price was supposed to be RM300 too, but i got more than i expected huhu... tp kalau dpt 50% lg best ekekeke.....
but, friends were surprised that i could negotiate at mid valley, they said if kedai tepi jalan baru lah diorang nego. and i thought everybody nego at kedai jam, no matter where it is hehe
kira gempak gak la aku berjual beli :p

facts or myth
ada org kata, jgn happy sgt, nanti dapat kesedihan. (aku selalu terkena, cepat lak tu sedihnya sampai huhu)
ada org kata, jgn kata org, nanti terkena ke muka sendiri. (aku tak suka dgr org kutuk org lain dkt org ko tak bpe nak kenal tp ko dah share gossip2 org dgn dia. kalau dgn close fren takpe la jugak kan.at least ko tau cerita tu tak kemana. so it shows to me org mcm tu tak ble simpan rahsia huhu..tp gossip pasal org hakikatnye tetap tak boleh..aku jgn kata share gosip dgn org,tak share pun, terdetik kat hati sendiri pun tak boleh-sbb aku kalau terdetik pun boleh kene..tp aku pk, kalau mcm tu takleh ada opinion ke even to yourself?)

muay thai
it was interesting to experience yourself as muay thai audience. i did once badly want to see muay thai at bangkok but i always didnt get what i wanted if i want it badly..based on my entire life experience though.. huhu
then, came this opportunity when sasha said she got free tickets...i was not interested when she told me, but only for few seconds hehe when i thought nape tak nak pegi? and when she said something like 'ko kan nak tengok muay thai masa kat bangkok dulu' so i gave it a shot.
every match has 5 rounds and approximately 20 mins per match. i like the introduction part when the player sort of dancing in the ring..it was funny but yet appealing...i called it some sort of baca mantera because their acts somehow could relate to it...i presumed. one act that i remembered was that he danced like he was hunting and the third arrow hit the target. guess what, while 'muay thaing', his opponent collapsed and he won. that particular match should be interesting because the players were both thais.. so mcm original rituals and acts should be pure than malaysian player or others.. ada yang berserban masa intro tu and melutut berdoa...
different player different style.
every match had different outcomes and acts to the extend darah hidung, darah mata, terkehel tangan la, kene boo sbb both players tak tumbuk2 haha so the audience were frustrated because we wanted some kicks and punches :D
it was exciting to watch a player lose at first n second round but rose up at third round and then won at final round. mcm movie, towards the end, hero mesti menang. huhu
another part of the event that had my attention was the audience. i thought the audience were dull or more to scary audience but it turned out to be various type of audience from equally males and females audience, ganas-look audience to pretty little faces audience plus kids as young as baby could be hhhmmm....interesting huh...
p/s ila so into this player called che' po...kelantanese and he won his match huhu...she is now a che pa :d

results regarding LHDN entry
things that i want to settle
1)penalty - have to wait another letter from LHDN that indicates pembatalan penalty
2)2006 n 2007 audit - after i get the letter, then i can pay the tax. can pay now but it will complicate some calculations and may lead receiving more n more letters haha..so better wait and follow the flows.
3)physical file to transfer to KL - since the problems above not yet solved, being advised not to transfer the file until item 1 & 2 resolve.
4)can i get discount on my tax? ekekeke :p boleh la.... - tak tau kenapa lupa nak tanya hehe..but i did ask a few people, they didnt think it's possible
is it worth my 2 days effort? not really..but i am contented with the preparation i'd done. at least i am clear with all the calculation.
