Verses of love

in review

I thought I would never have a chance to watch it since my online booking was not successful. And yesterday might be last day to watch it [well for me atleast]. But I was craving for Ikea’s garavad lax and meatballs, I thought ahh belasah jela pegi. Kalau ada baguslah kalau takde it’s ok. I still can eat my meals.

Well, it was my lucky day, 2 seats managed to be booked. And I had my Ikea’s meal. Setapp and stim just that the amount  the slamon served dah kurang and the meatballs are less bigger. Still, aku suke!

Anyway, what do I think about the movie?

ayat-ayat-cinta.jpg

  1. Menginsafkan. The part where the convict talked to Fahri about Nabi Yusuf made me cry. I feel so small and I feel that, that guy is actually talking to me.
  2. Love the scene in the bus too where the man refused to give seats to two American. Like hello fellow muslims who are so extremist, can you not see? Stop discriminating by the race already./
  3. To me, the storyline was quite difficult to make believe but I understand, this is based on a novel, therefore the storyline is created that way. Still, it’s the messages that are more important
  4. No matter how I think I can tolerate my jealousness, I don’t think I can hug another girl who wants [or is actually, according to the movie] to share my husband with me. Aisya’s sacrifice made me cry lah. Heartbreakingnya bila dengar someone that you love said “I love you to someone else”
  5. Usually I detest the guy who tried to use the religion pendekatan or tunjuk alim, well I have my own reasons sebab diorang ni depan je tunjuk alim tapi belakang bila orang tak nampak nak juga raba-raba tetek. However, the example shown by Fahri is different, it’s hard to explainlah, go and watch the movie than you’ll know. Jenis yang tak kecoh preaching
  6. The background membuat hati sayulah tapi tak logik the mustache tak tumbuh while he was in jail.
  7. Like the fact that the main actor was chosen with non-pan asian or commercial face. Muka jawa :D. Honestly speaking, I had enough seeing pan asian face in asian movies. Nak nak lagi malaysia, mula bentuk tin biskut pon boleh masuk tv kasi glamer sebab pan asian padahal bakat ceh, there are lots of people out there with better prospect cuma, muka according to their heritage.
  8. Perhaps those who are extremist would not like this movie. Reason being, Maria is still not wearing a scarf and still keep her cross although she already converted. Banyak lagilah kot, but I like at least there are some strong point memartabatkan perempuan. Who said, nasib perempuan teraniaya dalam Islam? It’s just the way people interpret it
  9. Watching the movie made me want to get the book. As I was googling for some pictures, I found the pdf version of the book. Sweet!

Ok. I have to go now. Tata

Durian

in angst,crap

Last week we went back to Langat, to celebrate nenek’s birthday. Melampau tau siap ada 2 biji kek lagi. Tapi aku tatau apa-apa, pegi makan laksa buyung – balik tido. Bangun-bangun orang dah suruh nyanyi-nyanyi.

Anyway, we managed to bring back 4 biji durians, much to my un-amusement [sukati aku je kan hehe]. So off to Shah Alam we went, with durians in the boot. Of course, the smell will linger no matter how much spray I sprayed. If only I could burn some scented candles, I would tapi aku takutlah mati terbakar pulak.

Today, the car was left under the sun.  As I get into the car.. Aku rasa macam nak mati. Bau durian yang dipanaskan dicampur dengan bau car perfume yang sangat kuat campur bau hotcake yang dibeli untuk breakfast. Sangat macam celake! Wekk!

Probably you are thinking”eleh minah ni, macamla bagus sangat, bau durian pon tak tahan” which I would naturally reply with few curses. But heh, I loathe durian itself, the smell, ice cream durian of whatsoever. I just can’t. Pening dan mual. But, I looooveeeeee tempoyak. Aummm. Setap.

Disebabkan aku tak mau bau-bau itu dicampur adukkan dengan spray [supposedly to eliminate odour] untuk tidak menjadilebih gampang, I had to endure driving with such bau menempuh jam. As the result, when I arrived at my destination, I puke.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Memangla korang cakap “wah, sedapnya buah ni, kecik ye tapi sedap” sambil mata juling menjilat-jilat tapi aku ni ha, mata juling termuntah-muntah. Kasihanilah diriku ini. Boleh tak?

Nasib baik pujuk dapat makan nasi goreng avalala, kalau tak, aku pow beli kasut. Huh!
