Headnote : This entry is to support Pledge Your Donation Campaign by BadrulAfterSix. I am just helping to spread the words. For more information, do not hesitate to visit his blog. Please spread the word around too. A worthy cause is never going to end right here.

 

I was reading Fiebie's Blog, and stumbled upon Pledge Your Donation Campaign by En. Badrus @ BadrulAfterSix. I know that my blog is not that famous, but I am just doing my bit as a human to support such event with pure purpose. Please spread the words around, tag it in your blog and if possible, tell your friends about it.

 

Sometimes I wonder, are we Malaysian charitable enough? How true is it that when we say that We Malaysian's are courteous and kind? We see a lot of charitable bodies or organization pledging for donations. TV programmes that gives you a chance to see the true colour of human. The other side of life. That does not include those orphans, foriegners acting like locals, and beggars.

If we say that we are good, there are people better than us.

If we think that we are in trouble, there are people that is in deeper shit than us.

I know it is kind of cliche to say but that is a reality. AND REALITY BITES. Maybe we should ask ourself what if we are the one asking for help? What if we are in need? What if we are the one pledging for donations? How willing are we to give out even as little as RM 1.00?

Should we stop ourselves from being a philantropist? Is RM 1.00 too big in todays world that people are hardly giving out money for charity sake? Or they just DON'T CARE?

I know that some of these scheme are nothing more than filthy lie, trying to make profit out of people's sympathy? But we, as human, are given brain for us to think. There are alot of proper channels for us to help, for us to donate? Do check the authenticity before giving out anything. It is not wrong for you to do so? I mean, it is for a good cause right? And it is also not wrong not to give your money

Fine, you can say that it is your money. You can do anything you want with it. Again, ask yourselves the questions i've mentioned earlier. What if it was us?

 

Friends, not everyone is born into this world with the luxury of have food on the table. Not everyone is living on silver platter. Not everyone can enjoy KFC, McD, Burger King almost every week. Some of these people cannot even enjoy a nice decent meal every day. Please have some empathy for those who is really in need. Maybe today, they need our help. What if Allah decided to twist things around? What if tomorrow, we wake up, things are not as sweet as today? What if.... ( I just can't go on anymore!!)

 

Fellow Malaysians, Young and Old, Lets put our hand together and help those in needs. Insya allah.... Allah will repay for all your kindness and deeds.

 

Friends, lets do our part in seeing that we are there for those in needs.

 

p/s : If we can buy a box of cigarette, then there is no problem for us to share  even as little as RM 1.00 for charity, right?

Failure is the mother of all succes!!!

Hmm... Failure has been very close to me... A very very close subject to me!!! Why? Because i've failed badly before....

After I finished my SPM, I got a chance to further my studies in UPM (Universiti Putra Malaysia). There, overjoyed, I started to take things lightly.

I started going to video arcades, a frequent visitor to the MINES SHOPPING CENTRE, cinemas, movies, i've started going to disco's, coming back to the hostel late.... I started to neglect my studies. I started to play around alot....

And as a result of my foolishness, I was kicked out. That was the saddest moment of my life. I've failed my studies, I've failed my dreams, I've failed my parents. and I've failed MYSELF.

My mother cried, My father didn't cry.. Eventhough he's sad... And I cried... Shouldn't I be?? Hehehhe.... I've let down my parents... After that, I got a chance to work at ********** (sorry.. gua kena blank for security purposes!!!). A place that has given me alot. I met new nice people, I met new friends... and most important I joined the Toastmaster Club.

And here, I got my Diploma and my Associateship paper. I've passed with flying colours. All because of my failure last time.

Ladies and Gentlemen, It is because of my past failure that had brought me greater success now and in the future. DO NOT LET PREVIOUS FAILURE LET YOU DOWN!. Let it be a torch that will enlighten your future.

And that is why I agree... that FAILURE IS THE MOTHER OF ALL SUCCESS!!!

++++ ++++ ++++

Ni adalah apart of my in-promp-to speech (or what I can recalled I merepek that night lah!!!) yang gua cakap masa gua kena present company gua for the Table Topic Segment at the International Speech and Table Topic Competition.

Alah, masa entry gua yang earlier, gua ada cakap pasal TOASTMASTER CLUB kan??? (kalu korang tak ingat, cuba cuba read my earlier posting. Rasanya, dalam bulan So, this is kind of a part of the discipline lah. It provides you the skill to speak your mind at any given and spontaneous topic. So, you have to put on your thinking cap and be alert.

Gua ni kira underdog giler lah. Yang lain tu... dah expert giler babas dalam benda nie. I am up against a PhD Dr, A very talkative makcik/nyonya, A medical expert and an air steward. So, gua aje yang paling cookia kat dalam tu. I got fourth placing out of five. Tapi gua tak kesah about that. In fact, I am very satisfied with myself that night. In front of a big crowd tu... Mula-mula, terketar-ketar nak terkencing dalam seluar jugak gua malam tu!! But whatever it is. what I've gathered from the experience is what counts. I've learnt alot from all those experts. Yang memang I am going to learn and improve myself.

Tak apa, at least I've improved my public speaking skills. :)

Here is Maddox's List of 10 most beautiful women of all time!!!
It is in no consequtive orders. Cuma 10 women who Maddox thinks gives Beauty a whole new meaning.

Header : There is only 7 here. Didn't have enough time to finish it. Been to busy lately. Ni pun took me days. Insya allah, I will finish it by Monday. So, just enjoy apa yang ada ni dulu. Okay?

1. Queen Rania of Jordan




















She is no movie star, she is no pop or R & B singer... But she is well known for her beauty. Walaupun dia nak berumur sikit, but i choose her to be the number one because aura dia ni kuat semacam.

She is well known for her charity work and isteri pembesar kat Jordan. She really know how to carry herself very well. She reminds me alot about Princess D. Bodoh Charles, pi ceraikan dia and got married to Camilla yang huduh macam wicked witch tu ajer! Oh Rania!! With that sweet smile, walaupun kau ni dah tua sikit, aku rasa ramai yang boleh cair beb!

2. ASH




















Memang one of asian best kept secret lah. Sejak menang Miss World (I think!!!) tu... Dia ni memang meletop! She is now making her move in the Hollywood! And her stars there seems to be shining quite well.. So, keeping an eye on that. Just that, I heard her movie, Bride and Prejudice is not doing very well.

However, I really like her dalam cerita Devdas. Konon-konon macam perempuan yang setia menanti kekasih sejati dia tu!!! Who at last got married to a prostitute. She has really made India proud..

3. Audrey Hepburn



Frankly speaking, I don't know a thing about this lady. Seriously! But the moment I saw her face, I fell in love with her. Adu!!! She is really some classic beauty in a class of her own!.

Aku ada ingat dalam America's Next Top model 2, one of the photo shoot, Yoanna kena bergambar macam ala-ala dia ni... Aduh!! Lawanya aku cakap!!!

4 Angelina Jolie



I love her lips!! I love her lips!!! Period!!! ahahaha... kalau tak silap aku, aku mula kenal dia ni masa cerita Hackers. Time tu rambut dia pendek giler... Macam jantan pun ada.. kalau tak silap aku, Crash Override dengan Zero Cool nama watak dalah cerita tu.

But seriously... She is like a sex bomb lah! Sexy giler lah!!! Memang menjilat ****** lah!!! (censored la pulak!!!) Tapi why does she have to choose Brad Pitt over me??? Damn!!!

5. Natalie Portman



Queen Amidala aka Padme aka Natalie Portman. I fell in love with her masa mula mula aku nampak dia dalam Star Wars Episode 1.... Walaupun she is good, tapi dia ni tak lupakan pelajaran. She is a Harvard Grad ( If I am not wrong lah!!) for English Literature. And based on my readings, she's top of her class..

Haaa.. who said that beauty does not come with brawn!! minah ni dah buktikan that anyone can do it.... berlakon tetap berlakon... tapi, study tetap power... Tomorrow gonna watch V for Vandetta with Mr Iron Board!! Gonna give my comments later!!!

6. Camelia




Malaysia's very own pearl and sweet heart. Aku pun tak tau what is so special about her.. But she has that X factor that makes people attraced to her.. What.. don't ask me...

She has carry nama Malaysia all around the world! Sampai ke France pun dah sampai.. Sampai ada sorang mamat photographer tu gila nak ambik gambar dia lah.. Dia ni sinonim dengan Tom Abang Saufi.. Maybe they are from the same soil kot. That is why the bond is strong!

7. Dian Sastrowardoyo



Gua mula kenal dia masa AADC. Time scene dia dengan Nico dok kissing mouth tu.. Damn!! Si Nico tu pulak yang dapat!!!Aku terbayang kan.. If I am that lucky son of a gun... sure gua tak lepas punya lah!! Heheheheh.... geram siot.. But she is like Natalie Portman, beauty and brain goes parallel. Cantik pun cantik.. pandai pun pandai....

Too bad she and Malique (Too Phat) did work out lah... tu lah malique.. kalau aku jadi kau lah... darn!!! I won't let her go, dude!

Hmmm.... Right now, apa yang ada dalam kepala otak gua yang tengah tersimpul maut macam pembunuh bersiri ni adalah to LOOK FOR A NEW JOB. Bak lirik lagu Amy tu...

"Aku dah Bosan...
Aku dah Bosan...
Aku dah Bosan..."

I am not bored with my colleagues... (Amir... ngko jangan terasa plak ye!!!) It is just that I am bored with work. With the politics, with the not-so-condusive organization.... Senang cakap, with almost everything lah!!!! What's keeping me from bursting out of my insanity is my the very the happening colleagues lah!!!

Frankly speaking, I really could not understand how someone can stick to one company for years.. Not 7 or 8 years but for more than 20 years. Rasanya dari rambut hitam... boleh sampai ke botak @ grey hair started to grow lah!!! Sampai anak dah besar panjang & boleh enroll in their tertier education lah. I really could not see that happening to me lah. I am saying this because in my current workplace, ramai sangat yang kertu kertu.... ntah bila diorang ni nak vanish from the face of my company pun tak tau lah....

Seriously.... gua memang tengah keeping my options open... mana lah tau kot-kot ada lobang baaaikkk punyer!! (bukan lobang kubor ya!!!).... Yelah... I am not that young anymore.. I have to start thinking seriously about my future. I mean, put leisure time aside, there is much important thing that I should be looking at right now. Rumah, Kereta, Savings... and most important Bakal Bini... (perrgggh!!! very hard for me to talk about this lah!!)


Checklist
1. Update My Resume - almost done
2. Update my profile kat jobstreet - almost done too
3. Rajin-rajin selak suratkhabar - Kayalah uncle jual suratkhabar kat opis gua tu...
4. Mula call kawan-kawan yang dah lama lost contact. Buat-buat baik.. then.... terus jump into the question of whether there is an opening there or not. - Hmmm... Started this already!!!
5. Hantar resume gua kat mana-mana tempat yang perlu...

Anyway, sebelum gua blah, my inner evil bagi gua macam satu petanda lah... hahah!! Macam Sightings pulak ya!!! Dia cakap dengan gua, BEFORE YOU LEAVE, BUAT SOMETHING YANG ORANG AKAN INGAT SAMPAI TUJUH KETURUNAN... muahahahhahahahah!!!!!!(gelak jahat gua tuu!!!)

This entry is not for me to criticize anyone. It is also not for me to comment or condemn anyone. Ni cuma pandangan gua dari pemerhatian gua melalui hari-hari yang gua lalui. Gua pun orang melayu.So, I don't expect this entry to be bias. Gua admit,gua pun one of them jugak yang buat one or more things yang gua komen kat sini. So, jangan terasa lah kalau ada sesiapa yang terkena. I do not mean to direct this to anyone. Just a plain entry...:)

Since I am a Malay, what I am writing today is what we Malay love to do. Ada pros & cons in the contents of my writing, it is how you apprehend it. Bagi gua, this is a free country. We have the liberty and freedom of speech. Kalau any readers terasa, I ask for forgiveness. Kalau you all have anything to say, do leave a note in my comment box okay?... Anyway, Happy Reading.

1. Melepak kat Kedai Mamak

Dah jadi satu tradisi dah sekarang, lepak kedai mamak. Breakfast, lunch time, after work, supper. You name it. Mana-mana pergi pun, mesti ada at least one or two mamak shops easily accessible. A glass of teh tarik, an interesting topic to talk about and you can end up sitting for hours. Really time-killer lah!!! From current news, politics,entertainment, babes to global issues. You name it. Macam-macam yang boleh diborakkan kat kedai mamak nie.

Kadang-kadang tu, even high profile punya orang pun lepak sini. Closing on any deal or contract pun boleh buat kat sini. Discuss pasal departmental issues, cerita masalah company pun boleh buat kat kedai mamak. Alah, my GM last time pun buat macam tu. Agghh!! What the heck, diorang pun boleh, what's more layman macam gua ni.

Penat-penat aje kerajaan promote Teh tarik can cause stroke/sakit jantung, gua tengok, bilangan pelanggan kat kedai mamak tak pernah berkurangan walau sedikit pun. Lagi ramai ada lah. I admit, I am also a big fan of mamak. Tiap-tiap petang mesti lepak kat kedai mamak. Dah turun-turun office aje ada 2 biji kedai mamak depan office. So, lepak lah over there with my colleagues berjam-jam lamanya. Nak pergi Coffee Bean selalu, really can't afford it. So, dapat lah mamak punya frappucino. Nasib baik tak ada ice blended. Kalau tidak, sure gua order that aje.

What are the advantages of sitting in mamak shops for hours? Hmmm... easy man... Cheap drinks... variety of food and drinks choices, open space, free air, free view (lebih-lebih lagi kalau babes yang lalu!!) and the list goes on. Tak payah la nak order spaghetti atau lasagne kat sini. Memang kena gelak lak kan.. Kalau roti canai or mee goreng mamak tu, memang mudah.

2. Handphone

Ni lagi satu trend nowadays. With the vast changes of technology, and thousands of models of handphones to choose from, dah jadi very normal to see anyone using handphone lah. Those with cameras, mp3,bass, video cam, notes, movie player, GPRS, WAP, MMS.. lengkap lah. Dah macam portable personal computers pulak.

Mmg dah craze for handphones lah sekarang. Kat office gua pun, macam-macam jenis handphone yang kawan-kawan gua ada. Just name it, Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Motorola... semua ada.. games, movie, lagu mp3,...some additional add-ons yang menambahkan kecanggihan telepon. kadang-kadang tu, sampai kita tak boleh nak cope with the new models that is coming out in the market. Yelah, every 3 months, mesti ada new models yang keluar. Dapat-dapat Nokia. dari yang leper, nipis, tebal, kecik, besar,semua ada.

Kalau dulu, phone yang ada game, memang hot lah. Kagum giler.Jakun pun ada. Tapi sekarang, tak sampai 6 bulan pun your model can be obselete. Memang competition among the vendors to catch the marketlah. Different market,different model lah kah. Diorang ni pun bijak juga. For youngsters, diorang keluarkan yang boleh main mp3,siap pasang Bass lah.. for professionals,diorang keluarkan pulak macam Nokia COmmunicatior that allows them to access the internet, guna Microsoft punya software.. macam-macam lah.

Macam tagline Nokia, Teknologi Insan... yang slack nye sekarang ni, dalam handphone, penuh dengan porn pictures lah, porn movies lah... access laman web lucah lah.. Heheh,... gua cakap orang, gua pun sama gak. Alah, pandai-pandai masing-masing lah nak guna macam mana kan. Lagi kita halang,lagik dibuat.. right?

Nasib baiklah Dato' Hishamuddin Hussein banned handphone usages in school. Bayangkan, buat darjah dua, Cikgu tengah mengajar mata pelajaran Pendidikan Islam. Tiba-tiba, keluar pulak ringtone lagu P.I.M.P ke. Naughty Girl ke. Mau terkezut hanjeng ustazah tu dibuatnya. Mengucap panjang lah ustaz-ustaz dan ustazah-ustazah tu nanti. Furthermore, kalau tak,makin kayalah si Ananda Krishnan,tokey Maxis tu nanti.

Gua bukan apa, masing-masing sekarang dah terkejar-kejar for the latest models. For me, no point you have the latest models tapi no airtime (if you are a pre-paid user) and if your bills are still due (for post-paid users). For me, as long as you can call out and receive calls,write and read sms, dah cukup dah.

Hehehe... Gua cakap orang, gua pun sama gak. I just can live without my handphones lah. It has become part of my life. Susah betul nak bergerak kalau tak ada. Dapat-dapat kalau ada kes emergency. Ye tak?

p/s : Currently, I am using Nokia N-gage QD & Nokia 3660.

3.KLCC

Hmm..... ni especially for those yang staying in the klang valley,selangor and KL lah. 6 years ago,masa gua first step my foot kat shopping complex yang begitu gah ni. Gua rasa peaceful sangat. Sebab apa, taman yang indah and nice fountain. Kalau gua lepak kat San Francisco Coffee, Starbucks @ Dome, rasa syok aje.. Kalau petang, dapat rasa cool breeze of wind.Chillin' out with my friends.

Sekarang, frankly speaking, gua dah malas nak lepak kat sana.Unless for a very important reason macam nak tengok movie or jumpa my friend,gua malas betul nak lepak kat sana. I would prefer to go to Midvalley. Lepak kat Chilli's ke... tengok wayang kat GSC ke.. Nak shopping pun murah. I seriously cannot afford Gucci, Armani, Ralph Lauren or Versus lah.

Banyak sangat kutu-kutu lepak kat sana. Mat rempit, budak-budak skin,grunge, blackmetal,bohsia-bohsia dan macam macam golongan sampah masyarakat lagi lah. Yang best nya, semua semua tu are our Malay teenagers. Budak-budak baru nak naik kata orang. Very hard for me to find Chinese or Indians lah yang macam tu. Yang berskirt pendek tu. I sometimes say to myself. Macam mana lah mak bapak diorang bagi keluar dengan pakaian macam tu rupa. Macam tak cukup kain aje. Entah-entah, keluar rumah, punya lah elok pakaian. Sampai aje kat mana-mana, masuk any public toilet,change clothes. WHO KNOWS, RIGHT?.. dah macam cameleon pulak.

Tu belum lagik yang rambut tercacak, jeans pendek, high boots. Just name it lah. Semua golongan manusia ada kat sana. kadang-kadang gua pun terkejut. Kalau lah ada pak haji,mak hajah masuk kat sana, mau mengucap panjang agaknya diorang ni. tengok bangsa sendiri. Again i stress.. SEMUA MELAYU tuh...

Very ironic. This is the malay teenagers nowadays. Terikut-ikut dek peredaran tamadun kat barat tu. Elok lah tu, Berkiblatkan barat. Cara pakaian, Cara hidup,semua lah. Come on lah guys, Gua pun masuk jugak Hard Rock dengan Planet Hollywood! Tapi my lifestyle are still the same. And I have NEVER EVER booze before. Bukan nak bangga diri, tapi my point is WE SHOULD KNOW HOW TO PUT A LIMIT IN EVERYTHING lah kan?

++++ ++++ +++++

Editor's Quote : That's all for now lah ya. Next time gua akan post more lah. Ya... again, maaf kalau ada yang terasa.. Just something serious but funny..Jangan ada yang terasa ya...

Last saturday... while my hand was busy changing the channels between 1, 3, 4, 15, 17, 70, 10, 11 and bla bla bla... I came upon one telefilm that caught my attention. Why? The tittle sounds familiar... I was thinking to myself... Where on earth did I glance upon this title.. Then it strikes me.. Oh Yeah... Sultam Muzaffar's blog.... and fiebie's blog too... I told myself.. Hey.... Worth the shot...

Least did I expected that this telefilm was about "Adik-adik".. Alah.. the softy sissy kind of people... (No offense yeah!!) ... Then my mom told me... this story is good.. Well.. didn't really get the chance to watch the first one... But was glued to the tv for the second one.

++++ ++++ ++++ ++++

Synonpsis : Well.. it is about Adik, budak lembut yang menjejakkan kaki nya untuk pertama kali to further his studies in UITM. Cliche sungguh laa... balik-nalik UITM.. balik-balik UITM... there's alot of other university... why UITM ya.. heheheh...Adik ni anak sulung dari 2 orang adik beradik....

Anyway... Adik ni went through alot of things masa dia kata sini. He started to meet new people... macam macam perangai, macam macam fe'el... And he started to feel some new feeling towards his own kind, Lukman.. His senior yang really takes care of him.. So, tak salah lah untuk orang macam diorang ni rasa something kan... Who on earth asked you to give that much of attention. One metaphore that I really like about this was during the Banana scene.. Well, from my own interpretation, it's like Adik was expecting something from Lukman... and Lukman was just showing his love and tender towards Adik. A different sexual obligations, maybe...But.. rupa-rupanya.. Lukman is just using adik for a bigger plan.... Adik ni ingatkan si Lukman ni macam guardian angel untuk dia... rupa-rupanya... ADO!!! besides his good looks... It turns out that he is a coward with girls.....

Kat sini jugak Adik mula kenal dengan Sabri a.k.a. Halle Berry and Fitri... 2 of his best friend that really add colours to his life in UITM. Yang sorang tu perasan Ning Baizura.. Aggh... for goodness sake.... Wake up and smell the air lah.... And Fitri, someone who cannot accept his own being and always being in denial. Mula2, gua tengok... mamat ni macam poyo and menggelabah tahap cipan... But the fact was he is ashamed with himself... Being the centre of attention and bahan mockery orang-orang yang membuatkan dia kena mental breakdown.. heheheh!!!

Ada jugak Anuar, dengan his partners in crime(Lokman & Tajol)... yang very egoistical and ignorant... Sara... Nama yang anuar paling tak boleh dengar... Rupanya there is a black story behind that.. Bapak dia dah terjerat dalam dunia sebegitu.. And as a result, Nuar ended up hating this kind of people... Die Hard with a Vengeance lah kiranya ni. I can't blame him actually... I mean, tengok bapak sendiri macam tu... Kalau ada lemah jantung, mau nye kembali ke rahmatullah mengkala tu jugak...

Back in Muar, ada jugak sorang bangsa macam Adik ni yang dah nampak the light at the end of the tunnel.. Kiranya kembali ke pangkal jalan lah kiranya ni. Hehehe... Khalid... who is trying very hard to be a man.. and act like a man. Kembali ke pangkal jalan because tak nak jadi macam Pak Ajiz... Meninggal dalam longkang and got eaten by the dogs... Konon-konon nak jadi lelaki sejati... Gi suruh mengurat... fail.. gelak hik hik hik.. dia yang keluar..

Adalah jugak a few additional cast macam Rosnah Johari(adik's mum), Kaza (bapak si adik!!) , Zeta and a few more lah....

How did Adik fair his life in the university, His love towards Lukman.. did khalid succeed in changing herself to himself??? Semuanya hanya akan terjawab for those who watched the telefilm...

++++ ++++ ++++ +++++


Editor's Quote : Actually, this story, the plot, the storyline, anything about it.... is very near to me..Why? NOOO!!!! I am not one of them but when I was doing my matriculation in Universiti Putra Malaysia at Trolak, Perak.... My room mates was this type of guy. Nama dia Khairul Mohd Fadzli (Eh... am I allowed to advertise names in here????)hehehe.... anyway... if any of you readers do know this guy, please to tell him to come and visit my blog.. I really need to see him.... Even my mom has been asking about him.

Masa gua mula-mula tengok cerita ni... terus my mind kept thinking about my ex-room mate ni. For me, he is a PERFECTLY NORMAL GUY... cuma dia ni lembut... the way he talks, the way he walks, the way he eats... EVERYTHING... but he is perfectly normal!!! (as far as I am concern lah!!) Sembahyang tak tinggal... Study excellent... Bagus budaknya... banyan berjasa dekat gua.... Aggh... those were the good old days.. kata orang, a friend in need is a friend indeed.. And I am proud to say that dia memang layak untuk dibuat kawan...

Anyway, I did not know that the first Sutun was nominated for Anugerah Seri Angkasa for quite a number of category. Kudos to the team. Anyway, it is a very good drama... Cara penyampaian dia... very simple... cara pendekatan pengarah dia very simple... tapi mempunya makna yang mendalam... I can say, mesej yang disampaikan memang menangkap lah... I mean, we have to respect every human being sebab mereka tu semua kan makhluk ciptaan yang MAHA ESA, MAHA PEMURAH dan MAHA PENYAYANG....

Pelakon-pelakon dia pun did quite a good job. Cuma macam si tajol dengan geng dia yang tak boleh buat lagi baik lah.... overall... aku bagi ****/*****... hmm.. okay kot?


What I like:

1. Adegan si Khalid and the Gang dok loafing around kat bus stand mengurat anak dara yang lalu.. Gi kacau ada sorang anak dara tu..Tak pasal-pasal kena penampar sulung...
2. Dialog-dialog yang mendalam maksudnya... Such as "Orang macam saya ni, di bumi pun bukan... Di langit pun bukan...."(Adik's line), "Rupa-rupanya, abang ni lebih pondan dari pondan lain. Macam si adik.. saya hormati dia sebab dia berani meluahkan perasaan dia"(ayat Zeta)... "Bukan tugas kita nak mempersoalkan apa yang Allah dah buat..."(ayat Sabri - i think that's how it sounded lah)....macam-macam lagi lah... sebab tu gua cakap.... the director did a good job... Mesej yang mendalam disampaikan dalam konteks yang lebih ringan...
3. Adegan si Khalid mengurat awek yang tak sampai dalam satu hari.. Terus asked her hand in marriage. Kelakar tahap cipan especially masa diorang first time dating.
4. Adegan si adik berlari bawak bunga untuk Zeta... teringat cerita Kuch Kuch Hota Hai... masa si Anjali dapat tau hatinya ditolak oleh si sang hero.... SRK....

What I don't like:

1. The colour pink! Dari atas bawah, kiri kanan, depan belakang si Adik... semuanya pink!!! YUCKS!
2. Masa yang sangat pendek untuk drama sebagus ini....
3. Adegan dalam toilet masa Adik mula-mula sampai... Hello beb... we are not perverts over man.. OKAY?!!.....:)

Actually banyak lagi yang gua boleh perkatakan tentang dramani... Cuma time is not permissable.... Anyway, enjoy reading the blog....
