31st Oct

it supposed to be my last day to
enjoy for the whole entire student
life before i start work but ended
up parents decided to head back to
hometown and as usual i had to be
the driver of the day to "speed"
on the Seremban highway to Segamat



it was a pleasant morning that my
dad started driving and we had
breakfast break at Tampin and i
was the one who continued the journey
till we reached our destination



parents settled all the chores that
they had to settle and had lunch and
some grocery shopping that i felt
somehow now prices of goods and food
in hometown are not cheap at all



you can catch up on my twitter page
http://twitter.com/amuyo_tomoko
of the one day road trip to Segamat



left Segamat around 3:30pm and faced
a very heavy down pour before reaching
Sungai Besi toll gate where the rain
is super heavy till i can't see the
road clearly and it's seriously dangerous



headed back home and reached PJ almost
dinner time and had Jalan Gasing's
Ipoh Chicken Rice for dinner before
driving back home to have a warm bath



wish me luck for the FIRST
day of work TOMORROW



Adioz !

SAP Exam

the certification of attendance exam
for the whole completion of SAP course
is dated today where i have to head
back to the centre for the exam at 11am



when i first get the question paper
kinda surprised that my classmates
who posted the same questions and
answers on the facebook group was
totally like a strike of bingo !



somehow i did not choose to cheat
where i totally answered the questions
from not memorizing the answers but
answer based on what i have understand
and learned from the course so far



it wasn't that bad to pass the
certification of attendance exam

Random Thoughts

have been spending my days at
3 Two Square's Starbucks
instead of Knowledgecom also
known as the SAP course centre



somehow, it is really glad that
i managed to know new people
from different background and
get to meet them with different
conversation and hang outs



honestly the believes and the
faith is getting stronger in
myself and i felt God has
planned this road for me



slowly and gradually i have
learned from different
perspective and slowly im
gonna learned how to accept
the believes and truth

"The God who made the world
and everything in it is the Lord
of heaven and earth and does not
live in temples built by hands,
as if he needed anything, because
he himself gives all men life and
breath and everything else. From
one man he made every nation of men,
that they should inhabit the whole
earth; and he determined the times
set for them and the exact places
where they should live. God did this
so for him and find him, though he is
not far from each one of us. 'For in
him we live and move and have our being'.
As some of you own poets have said,
'We are his offspring.'

(Act 17:24-28)

Decisions

day by day passing through across
the dates of every month and
somehow I felt life is getting
brighter for me and more enjoyable
i got to announced that i like my
current life for now mixing with
different people, different friends



it comes towards this end where
always whenever there isn't an
opportunity to go for interview
frustrations and worries tend to
just approach and ruins the day's
mood or even the night's slumber



here comes my situation now where
after all interviews and it tends
that decisions have to be made to
accept the offer for job perspective



somehow it is coming to an end of
the SAP course that im taking but
i will really like to say that working
on programs and syntaxes is still my
choice of life that i want even for
my future working life that i will
never complaint or be tired of it



it is the time walking towards the
future to have a better life for
work while im really eager to work
for this company - Scratchdisk
rather than putting myself into a
situation of business modules which
i totally have no idea what it is
about and totally have no interest
of how the system development works



i have been asking God that
why couldn't I have the chance
to just give up on SAP where i
tend to surrender myself of not
understand a single thing from
what i had studied so far and
yet to give a try on the offer
given in order to become a
web developer in future



somehow i have been thinking
why were i been given a chance
to go for the SAP course and
yet not giving a chance to
continue to be a programmer



dear readers, any suggestions
that could be given and to
enlighten me?

God's Love

sisters' session at Elaine's house
was super enjoying and amazing where
i totally felt the love from sisters

Charmaine who bought Roti Canai



was raining heavily on that day but
we managed to have interesting
painting session of how important
God's love shows towards ourselves



Let the photos below to the talking :

Nasi Lemak 2.0 辣死你妈 - Movie Review

xxx

Nasi Lemak 2.0 辣死你妈

Presents : Prodigee Media Sdn Bhd
In Associate With : UB Prodigee Entertainment
Producer : Fred Chong & Sylvia Lim
Director : Namewee
Movie Genre : Comedy
Movie Duration : 1 Hour 48 Minutes

Languages :
Manglish, Malay, Tamil, Mandarin, Japanese &
Several Chinese Dialect (Cantonese - Hakka - Hokkien - Teochew)

Cast :
Namewee, Karen Kong, Adibah Noor, David Arumugam, Afdlin Shauki,
Kenny & Chee, Dennis Lau, Reshmonu, Nadine Ann Thomas

The Plot
A young chef, Huang Da Xia (played by Namewee) struggles to get his restaurant business going. The reason his restaurants rarely gets customers is because he cannot adapt to the "localized" cooking his patrons are looking for. However, contradicting his unpopular cuisine, he is also well-known as "Hero Huang" in the local neighborhood where he carries out good deeds in helping the community (e.g: Filming videos and putting them on his Youtube account) until he met Xiao K (played by Karen Kong) who asked for his help.


Xiao K's father, owner of a famous Chinese restaurant, is fighting with her aunt for the ownership of the restaurant. After some complicated discussions, they decided to hold a contest to see who can cook the best Chinese dish. Desperate to get his life and the restaurant business back on track, Chef Huang decided to help Xiao K. Huang seeks help from a mysterious hawker stall lady (played by Adibah Noor), who summons him to embark on an extraordinary journey of his life. During this self-enlightening experience, he will also meet many "local heroes" each lending their support to help him re-discover his roots and the real hidden message of "Nasi Lemak". (Taken from Wikipedia)






The Verdict
Somehow the unoriginal plot and the ending could been a Malaysian masterpiece film. Despite the lack of budget for production, Nasi Lemak 2.0 indeed is very well done. The convincing acting performance, the local sense of humour and the commendable attempt on educating the spectators about multi-racial unity non-politically. As from the movie, it is shown that Namewee's first time acting is very Stephen-Chow-influenced.


I put it the way that the plot is similar to Chow's God of Cookery. The movie itself defeats 1Malaysia purpose as it is more of a local Chinese film more than anything else. The best part of the movie is where the old timers like Kenny Chan and Uncle Chee (from the 90s sitcom "Baba dan Nyonya") is featured.






The Negative Norms Explored
If a non-local to head into the cinema to watch this movie, it is somehow sad to to say that they won't be able to understand the negative norms explored in this movie. I personally give both my thumbs up towards the negative norms been brought out through the movie; For example :


1. Malay road bullies
2. Stubborn traditional mindset of Chinese citizens
3. Sudden electricity and water cuts
4. Slow internet connection
5. Most citizens lack of courage to help those in need
6. Slow services of restaurants
7. Bright non-Muslim students unable to enroll into universities
8. Authorities bias in favour of Malays
9. Chinese educated citizens speak poor English


10. Typical Chinese disco goers
11. Low salary
12. Immigrants issues
13. Hang Tuah's unsolved identity mystery
14. Try-hard Japanese Malaysians
15. English educated Chinese lack of confidence in speaking Chinese language
16. Kuala Lumpur a busy and unsettling city
17. Some non-Chinese could speak better Chinese
18. How obsessed Malaysia are with online social media.






The Message
The most convincing message in this movie were the Malaysian Chinese are Malaysians, not China-Chinese. So, the Malaysian Chinese should be proud to be a Malaysian. The young generation can also learn the Malaysian's multicultural custom and each and every races' tradition.


For my personal view that I initially had no intention to watch this movie, but somehow the ease of comments by friends and the public had made me to take this opportunity to watch this well done film. No matter in what condition, it is recommended to head into the cinema for the crack of jokes of this film. Watch the trailer below, I am very sure you will totally agree with me.

Movie Rating : 9/10

P/S :
Taking this opportunity to send my condolences
to one of the cast who acted as the Baba in this movie
- Uncle Chee Hood Siong, 66.

He was best known for his rold as Baba in the 90's sitcom
Onde-Onde together with Kenny Chen (Nyonya).

Rest In Peace, Uncle Chee !
