Bisik Pada Langit - the review

Bisik Pada Langit da keluar panggung semalam. Nampaknya ramai jugak yang pegi tengok as I read many positive feedback on twidder. Yea keep supporting malay movie!! *semangat

I had watched the full movie during special screening at eCurve, last Friday – 15^th Sept.

So here’s my review about the movie.

*This review is totally based on my own opinion. Maknanya, takde sesapa paksa sesapa untuk setuju. *peace*

Storyline:

A family consists of father, mother, a daughter and 2 brothers. Ia kisah seorang ayah yang sangat-sangat menyayangi anak perempuannya. Dengan tanpa sedar membezakan kasih sayang kepada dua anak lelaki sehingga membuatkan si adik cemburu pada kakaknya. Juga seorang abang yang berkorban untuk adiknya, tapi rasa diperkecilkan.

The father was being very protective towards the daughter cos he knows: “Menjaga anak perempuan itu lebih sukar dari menjaga sekandang lembu”.

Ok orang perempuan takyah nak butthurt. Memang btol ye kata pepatah ni.

Filem ni lebih fokus pada kisah hidup Hajar, the daughter played by Ummi Nazeera. She went to study abroad and something happened to her. Jalan cerita simple je, tak berat tapi cara bercerita tu yang hebat.

Nak tau apa yang jadi dalam family ni, kena la tengok kan. Tanak jadi spoiler pulak.

About the acting:

Ummi Nazeera – ada few parts yang aku rasa dia macam canggung. Lakonan nampak keras padahal she’s really a good actor. Mungkin rasa dikaburi dengan lakonan Jalil Hamid yang sangat hebat? I don’t know. I just feel she looks like budak baru nak berlakon. Scene adik pujuk abang tu pon nampak tak berapa smooth.

But the last part which shows her recorded videos, that was good. She looks natural. Sedih gila tang ni. Sobb~

Jalil Hamid – wow superb! He has the magic touch, can make u feel what he feels inside, without a word. Bila marah, bila sedih, bila kelakar, sume kita bole rasa. Every scene was perfect!

Watak ayah la sebenarnya tunjang utama dalam cerita ni.

Beto – takde apa nak komen. His acting, as usual looks real and great. He didn’t have to struggle to carry out the role.

Nazmi Daniel – this young actor has a big talent. Da banyak berlakon drama kan, so memang da banyak experience. But just to comment a bit, ada part yang perlu buat raut muka tu nampak lembut sikit. Jangan la time nangis pon nampak cam marah. Huhu.

Fadilah Mansor – watak ibu tak berapa menonjol, but she still gave her best acting.

Erwin Dawson – tak kenal pon siapa dia ni. *sorry* but not sorry. Hehe. Pelakon baru, so tak bole la nak komen sangat. Lakonan tu ok-ok laa. Takde la teruk tapi bole banyak improve lagi. Tapi still bole laa.

Ada few parts dalam filem ni yang agak lari dan kurang lojik. Contoh:

-       – Masa Hajar eksiden, kenapa lambat pulak sampai si bopren tu padahal sblom tu ride sebelah menyebelah seiring dan sejalan?

-       – Masa solat, mak tanya ayah “Aritu abang mimpi gigi tercabut bla bla bla”. Eh kenapa aritu? Bukan baru siang tadi ke? Tu Hajar pon kat dalam OT lagi. *konpius

What’s interesting in this movie?

Macam aku cakap awal tadi, jalan cerita simple je. Tak banyak plot tapi cara penceritaan tu yang hebat. Banyak kata-kata pujangga yang menusuk kalbu.

Di ketika si ayah menyambut kelahiran puterinya, dia berkata:

“Ya Allah jadikanlah jiwa puteriku sekental jiwa Siti Hajar ketika terdampar di padang pasir yang tandus”

Dan apabila dia meluahkan rasa pilunya:

"Ibu bapa yangg hilang anak lagi dahsyat kedukaannya daripada anak yang kehilangan ibu bapa"

Sobb~ sedih!

Overall, filem ni memang syahdu tahap dewa. Terlalu melodramatic. Sampaikan aku rasa director ni saje je buat scene berulang and drag scene too long sebab nak buat orang meraung. Well done, dia berjaya! Tapi aku dah mula keluar ayat, alaa udah-udah la tu. 

Makanya, kalo korang jenis yang suka tengok cerekarama yang buat meleleh air mata juga hidung tu, bole la pegi tengok citer ni.

And also not to forget, thumbs up for the video transitions and of course, Kabir Bathia’s signature, the cinematography.

Rating: 7/10

Happy birthday to me!

A few days ago, I celebrated my birthday.

And that would be the most memorable birthday in my life.

Today.

Another heart-broken story. It feels unbearable now but I know it’s gonna be ok. I’m gonna be ok. Definitely.

Just that I must pretend that I’m all good while in the office, around so many people. I have to divert this feeling and try to keep myself busy, rather than staying at home and cry.

But this feeling sucks!

Well, life has to go on.

I read some of my old posts in this blog. And made me remember that I went through even worse situation. So many series of heart-broken and frustration. Apparently I managed to stand up again and moved on.

This time, I trapped in the same cycle. But I know for sure, I’ll get over it too. Time will heal.

Happy birthday to me! 😊

Day-out @ Tadom Hill

Tadom Hill - went there last Saturday for Office team day-out. It’s not difficult to find the place using Waze. Only that the junction from main road quite narrow and I only noticed the small banner once we turned in. No big archway, no tarred road, just drive through the palm trees.

The place - there are many bamboo huts provided which is good for a group to sit, relax and to have BBQ too. I would say the place is quite nice to chill, by gazing at nature. But the place is smaller than I thought, and for me, it's only nice for a day trip not for overnight. Probably cos I find the place is not so reassuring. (I think it’s creepy at night)

The Splash – I think the height is about 1.5 storey. So be careful. Don’t jump with your face down, cos its seriously pain. (That’s what happened to me. Hwaa~) I did 3 jumps and caused several bruises. Sob~

The Water – is my main concern before going there. “What’s under the water?” I must’ve been watching too many nonsense stories that I imagine dragons (ah it’s a band!) or any eerie creatures down there. I even brought a goggle to find out if I can see anything. But nop, nothing. Only green water (not so emerald green anymore cos I believe urine color is taking over. Yuckss!) Yeah, water is not clean. My skin started to feel itchy a few hours later.

Conclusion, dead water is not my type. I rate 2 stars.

Arghh I need vitamin sea now!!

Salam Nuzul Quran

I rarely speak about Islam because I know I’m too far from perfect. But I’m writing this as I was triggered by reading some nasty comments about Islam – which you can also read from this video on Facebook.

I just want to spread the idea that - we all should respect each other.

Respect everyone.

Respect every religion.

Respect every opinion.

Even when you don’t agree.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are many people want to seek the truth about the purpose of life but only a few are fortunate to get the Hidayah (guidance). He was lucky that he found someone who is pious and knowledgeable about Islam when he’s in the search.

I know there are a lot of bad perceptions towards Islam have been spreading all over the world.

"Muslims are terrorist"

"Islam teaches to kill others"

"Islam is a fake religion"

Most probably, they are pervasively influenced by what they see in media and what they read on Internet, but it’s unfair to blame all Muslims and to condemn the religion when the fact is they know nothing about the teachings in Islam.

There is no bad religion and there is no religion that teaches people to be evil.

There is no bad religion, only bad people.

Reading from some comments that I found on Internet, there are many ignorant people who dare to throw an outrageous statement to show their hatred on Islam. Those comments are bluntly made without any concrete facts to support their statement. 

Clearly, they never do any research, not even open to accept opinion and just want to provoke by making a comment like “Muhammad is crazy”.

Why would some people being so offensive? 

I believe that we were taught to respect everybody’s religion. Yes you can open for a debate but don’t critic, don’t mock, don’t insult their belief. If you want to share your thoughts about something, please ensure that you’re well-versed on the topic and be prepared with the true facts. Don’t quote something that you found on Google without further studies the source. And most common confusion that I see is, they misinterpret a verse from Quran without reading the whole context.

If you have questions such as:

“Why women need to wear hijab? But why some don’t wear it?”

“Why one needs to convert to Islam to marry a Muslim?”

“Does Quran says to kill non-believers?”

“Is Muhammad a pedophile?”

“Why can’t Muslim eat pork?”

And for many more questions that you have, you should look for the righteous person who can give you the answer - based on Quran, not by their own opinion. Also, reading the Quran would certainly help. Or probably start it by reading a book, for example, about the questionnaires in Islam or a story of Muhammad – from a trusted publisher of course.

Eventhough I’m a Muslim-born, but I’m not a good person, not an example to portray Islam. Rule number 1, if you want to learn about Islam, don’t look at Muslims, but learn from Quran and Sunnah instead. This statement came out because nobody’s perfect, we all are sinners and many Muslims out there don’t practice Islam properly.

That’s just in case if - you want to know about Islam.

However, if you still don’t think that Islam is the way of life, it’s okay. “Let there be no compulsion in Islam” (2:256). And as I said earlier, Hidayah only comes to the chosen ones. As long as we can stop the hate and always respect each other’s faith.

“For you is your religion, and for me is my religion” (109:6)

Spread love and peace.

Once you walked away

i have to admit

that i used to like you

very much

and i still remember

the way you treated me

very well

i dreamt to be with you

eventho it seems impossible - sometimes

made me thinking alot about what if and how

just to make this relationship works

i gave you chances

many times

but then i realized

it just gave me pain

over and over again

and i should have known

that you don't have the same feelings

as i do

then at one point

i don’t bother anymore

and i let you go

days by days make me stronger

and back to track

i have my life back

but you come again

occasionally say hi

like nothing ever happened

and expect me to reply

isn't that funny?

maybe not for you

but definitely for me

sorry, i just want to say

once you walked away

dont ever turn back

Oh duit

Duit duit duit
Pagi petang siang malam asek pikir duit
Cuba jugak simpan dalam tabung sikit sikit
Tapi hutang yang membukit

Bila dapat gaji bayar bil sana sini
Tambah headache time ada emergency
Blom kira kalau kete rosak lagi
Terpaksa hidup kais pagi makan pagi
Hmm apa nak jadi hidup macam ni?

Ada masa tak bole dah nak bernafas, rasa sesak dada
Macam jalan dalam swimming pool bila air da cecah kepala
Usaha lonjak-lonjak curi udara tapi akhirnya terkapai jua
Masa tu la terpaksa tebal muka mintak pinjam kat member
Itupon delay delay sebab rasa kelu lidah nak berkata
Sampai beras tinggal sebutir baru nak buka mulut meminta
Tambah hutang kann... mana ada orang suka
Ye tak ye?

Tapi aku tengok ramai jugak orang yang macam tu
Bila hujung bulan nak beli milo ais pon da tak mampu
Apa teruk sangat dugaan zaman skarang ni
Kos hidup makin meningkat, harga barang makin meninggi
Sewa rumah, transport, nak tanggung makan pakai famili
Duit gaji memang tinggal takat celah gigi
Aihh gimme 5 la kawan-kawan, kita memang selori
Mari sesama berhuhu mengenang nasib sendiri

2017 already??!

Happy New Year everybodehhh~

Time really flies. 
Rasa macam baru je celebrate new year 2016 dengan besfren kat hospital - sebab dia warded. Dan skang dengan tetiba, 2017 menjelma.

A year is wasted - again - as I achived nothing. 
Other than, new job (thank God i still have a job), a new place to stay (thank God again), a heart break (sob~) and a new relationship (i guess). 

Overall, not too bad but nothing significant too. 
Anyhow, there are still a lot of things to be grateful, everyday.

New resolution? 
I wish to travel oversea this year. Learn to save a lot of money and have more holidays.

Wish the best to all of you too. Cheers~
