All about mysteries

I just love doing lists. And I'm about to do now as well.

People often ask me, what kind of movies you like to watch? Dulu tak tau nak cakap camana, sebab asal cerita tu bagus, ada favourite actor, anticipated movies, I would watch it. So petang td I was as usual trying to fill up my free times, so I watched movies. And I just noticed that everytime I choose, it would be in this genre: Mystery/thriller/sci-fi combine. You know the kind of movies yg buat kita fikir, yang unpredictable, yang complicated, yang hujung2 cerita kita baru kita tau kenapa itu ini. Some says movies ni berat sikit, yeah well maybe. But so far none that I watched has disappoint me. These are my top fives (yes again the list -__-). Kita mula dari yang kelima ok. hehe

#Fifth

The Number 23

Cerita ni ada slow sikit. Warning, mungkin b

uat anda tertidur. Tapi jalan cerita the best. Jim Carrey memang terer bawak watak psycho. More on the movie: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0481369/

#Fourth

Shutter Island

Hoi boleh gila tau dak tgk movie ni. Punyalah buat kita fikir sampai kita boleh confuse apa sebenarnya berlaku. As usual, hujung cerita baru kita cam, "Oooohhhhhh...."

#Third

V For Vendetta

Yang ni I sangat2 recommend for EVERYONE. Kalau boleh kan, serapkan apa2 motivasi dari story ni masuk kepala terus. Sebab everything is true and everything about it is totally a reflects of what happen in our country now. That's why asal ada apa2 berlaku yg berbentuk politik di dunia kita ni, orang akan timbulkan quotes dr movie ni, mula pakai the Fawkesian mask yg V pakai tu. Although V tak pernah tunjuk muka, tp suara dia cairrrr beb. Sedap gila. Sbb tu suara dia jadi Megatron, n also byk berlakon jadi penjahat yg mempunyai suara yang mega.

#Second

Inception

Actually, I'm torn between this and the first one, cuz Inception as good as the first one. This movie will make you kerut dahi in concentration, it brings you so deep, you can't tear yourself off the storyline. Oh bonus part is some of the actors are my favorite *Joseph & Marion*. This movie is creative, serious thought up, and just pure genius. After the movie, I guarantee you will think about yourself and what really happen when you're asleep. It put out a very important point here which is how powerful an idea can be. Cause Idea can spread like cancer.

#First

The whole series of Harry Potter

Before you say anything, I know I know you was like, "What?!" "Ini bukan mystery ni!". Mula2 pun I think like that but when I think about it, Harry Potter series combined, if there was no book, and we're talking about the movies alone, it would be one super epic of awesomeness of a movie. Haha.. Because why? Tell me which movie can create a whole new world as excellent as this? Whats with the names, the magic, the spells, and the mystery behind it all. And tell me why it has become the third best movie in the whole wide world after Titanic and Avatar? And to see the last of the series, unravel the whole mysteries of what really happened 10 years ago, from the first story. Nobody in this world don't know about this movie, right? Never seen, yes, but oblivious of it, NO. If there was one, they'd probably live in the jungle and even they have the reason to be the exception. So yeah, Harry Potter deserve a number 1 spot in my heart.

Some other recommendations of good movies like above are as below:

The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button, The Vantage Point, Limitless, Atonement...

1Malaysia.

Apa maksud 1Malaysia kepada semua Malaysian?

Kat sini saya nak bercerita sikit pasal my own opinion. Bukan pasal 1Malaysia tapi apa yang saya selalu lalui sebagai seorang Malaysian, and also, Sarawakian.

Situasi 1: Sudah menjadi kebiasaan kita2 orang biasa kena isi borang secara online, especially borang Government matters. Tak kira la untuk loan ke, untuk masuk U ke, apa2 lah. Tapi part paling tak best adalah time isi part "RACE/BANGSA". Yeah some people akan questionkan kenapa perlu tau ini in general, dlm IC kita pun takdak benda ni kan? Cakap 1Malaysia. Ok itu bukan persoalannya sebab sy tak brapa kisah pun. Yang menjadi persoalan disini, dan menjadikan saya kisah disini ialah dalam banyak2 bangsa yang perlu diisi, kenapa ada perbezaan antara "Melayu" dengan "Melayu Sarawak" dan "Melayu Sabah"?

Secara logiknya mungkin maksudnya Melayu Sarawak/Sabah adalah campuran melayu dgn bumiputera (ie; Iban, melanau, kadazan, etc). Since skrg byk percampuran kaum dah kan. Tapi kan, does it really matter? Mari kupaskan persoalan ini. For one, Kita tau dlm Malaysia ni Melayu mendapat priority utama, begitu jugak Bumiputera Sabah & Sarawak. So kalau definisi Melayu Sabah/Sarawak sy ckp td betul, perlukah? Kenapakah? Motif? Kejadah? haha

Saya bukan marah, saya cuma rasa...apa org ckp? Erm... terpinggir. Haaaa...haha... Tak la terpinggir camana pun. Nasib baik saya ni Melayu je, biasanya letak Melayu jelah. Nonetheless sy ada darah Cina, like 1/4 je sbb nenek perempuan Cina. Kalau ada jugak option Melayu Cina memang.....speechless lah. Sik ku terkabir nak explen. I mean come on, cuba tgk kat dlm diri kita ni masing2, ada ke yang Melayu tulen? Ada tu baguslah, be proud. Tapi I can say that majority of us are not that tulen, btol x? Grenti ada yang bercampur2 dah, tak kira la campuran dia 3/4, 2/4, 1/4, 1/2.....Tapi ada je kan yang Melayu + Bugis, Melayu + India, Melayu + Cina, Melayu + Jawa, Melayu + ....dan sbgainya. Tapi ada tak option tu dlm borang? Takde? Kenapa yang Sarawak & Sabah dikecualikan? *Pause*

Situasi 2: Benda ni selalu berlaku dalam newspaper & berita-berita utama di TV di Malaysia. Let's compare the example so you will understand better.

"Undang-undang dikuatkuasakan di seluruh Malaysia termasuk Sabah dan Sarawak"

"....diseluruh Malaysia termasuk Sabah dan Sarawak."

Okay, faham tak konteks di atas? Sekarang saya nak pembaca compare pulak kalau saya buat camni:

"Undang-undang dikuatkuasakan diseluruh Malaysia termasuk Kedah dan Kelantan."

"...diseluruh Malaysia termasuk Melaka dan Johor."

*contoh*

Now the question is....perlu ke letak termasuk Sabah dan Sarawak apabila dalam sejarah Sabah dan Sarawak is a part of Malaysia since 1963. Dah memang dia letak SELURUH MALAYSIA, lepas tu letak lagi termasuk Sabah dan Sarawak. Well, thankyouverymuchforthecredit. Cuba kalau negeri lain dibuat camtu, rasa2nya pelik tak? Haaa korang pikir la sendiri. Malas dah nak membebel.

Ha tu jelah situasi2 yang selalu berlaku kat sini. Pernah sekali aku (kejap aku kejap saya, kau ni....) tgk ada perarakan berlaku kat tempat dirahsiakan di semenanjung (muahaha) dan setiap kontijen membawa bendera negeri2 di Malaysia. Aku pun bersorak mcm apa, sampailah satu kontijen tu bwk bendera Sarawak. I was like sscreeeeeccchhhh *bunyi radio rosak*. Dia punyalah bangga bawak bendera Sarawak yang lama punya. Eh aku pun xtau yg lama ke ape ke sebab kan yg dia bawak tu langsung tak nampak mcm bendera Sarawak. Moha aku tok eh time ya. *Ha carik sendiri maksud moha*

Setahu aku lah kan, 1st bendera sarawak (1848 - 1870) macamni:

James Brooke punya influence hence the cross

Second bendera Sarawak (1870-1941) under the influence of Charles Brooke:

Third bendera Sarawak under British Governor (after 1941):

Fourth bendera Sarawak 1946-1963:

Fifth bendera Sarawak 1973-1988:

And finally the current bendera Sarawak 1988 till now:

Annnnddddddddd among ALL these bendera TAKDE SATU PUN yang similar dgn apa yang orang tu bawak time perarakan tu. I remember it till now because it is a disgrace for me not to have the courtesy to even buy a new and correct bendera. Ade je kot jual merata kat pasar. I still remember dia punya bendera tu macam Negeri Sembilan punya tapi kaler lain sikit. Time tu aku punyalah nak bersorak utk kontijen tu tapi aku terus cam, "Aik, tu bukan Sarawak punya." And aku bgtau kawan2 aku tapi dorang buat dek je sebab its not even their concern. I dont blame them. But you know how I feel when your negeri punya bendera, as simple as that been shown off to people in a perarakan, TAPI SALAH BENDERA. Aku tau none of the people in the kontijen are Sarawakian so dorang pun xtau agaknya. Sabar jelah. Aku membebel kat atas pun korang belajar sikit2 pasal bendera Sarawak kan? Hahaha...

Apa apa pun aku nak bagitau satu je. Please, never should we see the difference between human beings for their colour, race, & ethnicity. After all, what's the purpose of that so-called 1Malaysia?

p/s: Mesti korang dah cam, "Eh bising lah dia ni, pasal tu pun nak besarkan." I will answer, Ada aku kesah? hahahha. Cuba lah try jadi org Sarawak/Sabah then aku nak tgk korang jawab camana. hua hua hua

Sepadankah Aku Dengan Mu?

Haaa dah enjoy video di atas? Best kan lagu ni? Lagu ni pun ada kena mengena dgn tajuk post kali ni, iaitu ada kena mengena pasal Ramadhan. Lebih kurang 3 hari lagi kita umat Islam akan menunaikan salah satu Rukun Islam, Berpuasa di bulan Ramadhan.

Beberapa hari lepas, aku ada join cermah agama ni kt Kuching. Mula2 malas sangat, biasalah kta remaja benda camni berat bontot nak pegi. Tapi minggu ni serious tak productive gila so aku fikir, why not give it a shot? At first bila dah sampai sana, syaitan bukan main lagi bisik, nak naikkan ego aku taknak dgr, anggap smua ni tak best. Tapi penceramah tu mmg best, aku akui la. Sbb aku pay attention & hmpr buat hati keras cam aku ni berair mata. Nama penceramah ni, Dr. Robiah, nama panjang tak ingat tp dia slalu klua TV.

Pendek cerita aku nak kongsi sikit apa yg aku dpt dr ceramah ni. After all ceramah ni banyak buat aku gelak, dia byk buat lawak, at the same time touched our hearts, sbb tu best. Tajuk ceramah hari tu, "Ramadhan: Sepadankah Aku Dengan Mu?"

People will wonder, what does it mean? Lets go down the road okay. Berpuasa di bulan Ramadhan adalah rukun Islam ketiga, tetapi persoalannya, adakah rukun yang pertama dan kedua telah sempurna kita lakukan? Pertamanya Mengucap Khalimah syahadah dan keduanya Sembahyang Lima Waktu. Zaman nabi dulu, sahabat2 nabi semua rindu akan bulan ini, berdoa kepada Allah SWT agar percepatkan Ramadhan utk menghampiri, dan kalau boleh nak setahun2 itu adalah Ramadhan. Betapa besarnya Ramadhan bagi mereka. Bulan ini terlalu suci, sehingga kita diwajibkan untuk berpuasa. Jadi untuk melaksanakan rukun yg ketiga dgn sempurna, adakah sempurna rukun yg pertama & kedua kta? Telah kita selami maksud khalimah syahadah itu dan telah kita lakukan sembahyang lima waktu dengan sempurna?

Semua orang tahu kita wajib berpuasa. Anak2 kecik pun dah dididik dr kecik utk berpuasa. Penceramah ada bercerita banyak pasal ni, iaitu mendidik ank2 cara yg betul. Dorongan dengan memberi duit, memberi hadiah & lain2 kalau dpt puasa adlh dorongan yg bagus tp hati2 atas galakan yg diberikan. Pastikan mereka tahu mereka buat semua ini atas nama Allah SWT, dan bukan kerana nak kumpul duit dan sbgainya. After all, semua yang kita lakukan, lakukanlah dengan niat untuk Allah SWT. I wont further much abt this didikan yg dia ajar cuz banyak sgt & I cant remember it. But that exactly is her point.

Bulan Ramadhan as we all know, kita bukan je puasa perut tp puasa mata, telinga, hidung, mulut dan segala deria lah. Bukan maksudnya tak boleh langsung, tapi menjaganya dari benda yg tak berfaedah/tak baik. Ramai nanti kita tgk yg akn mula bertudung, a good dorongan utk menjaga permakanan, berhenti merokok, tak mengumpat & sbgainya. Siapa yang jaga semua ni, good job! Tp malangnya ada jugak yg akn mengkritik org lain, contohnya kepada yg acah2 bertudung di bulan Ramadhan je, tp lps tu hilang tudung. Bagi mereka yg akn mendengar cemuhan ni, biarkan jelah. I'd say, good job too for those yg menjaga aurat mereka, tak kisahlah berapa lama mereka nak pakai. Atleast, diorang try, right? Atleast diorg menghormati bulan ini. Dr. juga menegur prkara ni. Jgn jadikan bln puasa satu persinggahan sementara. Jgn jdkan berpuasa sebab utk berhenti rokok. Jgn jdikan puasa sebab utk berdiet. Jgn time puasa bersedekah macam hujan, tapi lepas Ramadhan terus kemarau (this is her exact word, and people laughed so hard ;). Tapi sebetulnya, jadikan semua yg aku sebut tadi sebagai dorongan shja, sbgai semangat, dan yg lainnya semua kerana Allah SWT.

Aku ni manusia biasa, hidup penuh dengan dosa. Jadi harapan aku Ramadhan kali ini Ramadhan yang terbaik, yang dapat memberi aku manfaat dalam hidup. Aku cuba untuk kurangkan rasa marah, emosi dan lain2 yang tak bagus dan cuba kawalkan. Aku akan cuba untuk buat amalan yang bagus bulan depan nnt, daripada duduk kt rumah menghadap laptop tgk movie. Aku akan cuba untuk tingkatkan amalan aku dengan Allah dan semoga Dia terima amalan aku, insyaAllah. Dan semua ini peringatan untuk diri sendiri jugak. Apa yang aku bgtau kt atas tak semua yang Dr. Robiah tu cakap, dia pun cakap 2 jam, kat sini xsmpai stgh jam aku karang. So, apa yang kurang semuanya kat umat Dia ni, dan semua yang baik datangnya dr Allah SWT.

=)

P/S: Dr. pesan bagi yg liat nak bersahur...sahur adalah sunah Rasulullah, begitu juga makan kurma dan minum susu. Maka makanlah kamu kurma, minumlah susu, dan bersahurlah kamu tanda kamu mencintai Rasulullah SAW. =)

Cause you just can't shut up. It's all about you, isn't it?

Dear Heart & Brain,

I'm having dilemma.

I'm being indecisive of between worth it or not.

My heads and heart are telling me different things.

Here's the problem.

My friends have been planning to go KL next week, for months, and have bought the ticket. I told them I wish I could come & they invited. You see, I'm in Kuching, and having to travel to KL takes a lot of money. Everyday passes by, the price hiked up. Weeks ago I told myself not to go. Well, because it will need a lot of money. Not just the plane, the fuel (I have a car waiting), the lepaks, the foods, eventhough it'll be a 5 days trip. And just when I make up my mind, my friends, both from semenanjung & sarawak begged me to go. It's a win-win situation for them. And suddenly I heard the clearance of our campus needed to be done by the end of this month, which exactly the time the holiday was planned. That fact didn't bother me that much, but that fact, you see, is strong enough to convince my mom to pay for this trip. Haha. Perfect timing right? Righhhttt...

Then she told me a few things which makes me think twice abt this trip, worth it or not? She said that I shouldn't bother my aunt at S.A, where my car is located. Usually we asked for her help to pick us up from airport & her house has become my 2nd home there. I mean, I really don't want to bother her, she has her own life. That means I have to find my own way to get my car if I want to travel around with it, within those 5 days. Which meanssss train & buses are the choice. And when I go back, I would need someone's help again to bring my car back to S.A and send me to airport. That's a lot of hassle right?

When I'm indecisive, I always list out the pros & cons. The only few pros I can come out with are, (1) I could settle the clearance; & (2) I could hangout with my friends, give my friends from srwk a sight-seeing tour or wtvr. The cons? (1) Money, money, money. (2) Bothers a lot of people. Yes, both are equal, 2-2.

I hate being in this situation. Because the cons, are winning in my head. Yes, brain, I'm talking to you and your logics. T____T

Help me.

Sincerely,

Lost.
