Slumdog Millionaire

I dropped all my house chores last night and sit right in front of my TV, just because I want to watch the recent won Best Motion Picture – Slumdog Millionaire.

If you follow the 81 Academy Awards which aired on Monday (SEA Time), am sure you wouldn’t find this strange. Yes, this movie nominated for 13 awards and swept 8 Oscar for the night.

My sis told me there are no good movies from the Oscar, well, I totally disagree with her statement. Do you find the Titanic bored, do you find Silent of the Lamb screwed up, do you find The Pianist violent? All of these are the Best Motive Picture that won for the past year.

Honestly the Slumdog Millionaire had gave me an eye-opening for what’s happening in Mumbai India and from the entire movie, you could see a young boy – Jamal Malik is struggling with his living. From a pick-pocket to chai-wallah (young boy that serves tea), what had happened to his life is basically all the questions are being asked when he participates for the ‘Who Wants To Be A Millionaire’ show.

This is another part that I find why are they so ‘dirty’ in a sense that they do not believe a kid who is so truthful and sincere to the answers.

Another part of the movie is how those gangsters collect those street children to help them to beg for money and even how they ‘scoop’ the kid’s eyes with a spoon.

Oh yes, one last thing about this movie. It has all the classic of any Indian Movies. The dancing part… that’s how it ends.

Good movie to watch!

Am I a good wife?

Actually sometimes I wonder am I a good wife?

Why I asked myself?? Well, today it’s a special day that my husband that he wants to celebrate with me. But I was too busy and then tired after a long hours work.

I know many will advise you to go ahead and celebrate with your husband, but how many will understand that the lethargic wife is so tired and wanted be home early and rest. Not only rest, she may have to continue to work after her dinner and bath.

Eventhough as a wife you voice out to your husband, the husband may think that you ain’t supportive. Right??

So, it ain’t easy to be an understand wife, a supportive wife at times.

The so-called news

Not sure anyone read the breaking news today?

I only have 1 question in mind… why can’t they put the global economy crisis as priority first instead of making all these non-sense??

Aren’t they notice the country has more problems to solve, have employment rate increment to resolve than changing Government.

Why can’t they think like a gentleman with joint forces and get thru this hurdles that the entire world is facing right now??

Seriously, I am so sick of reading the news!! If you know what news that am referring!!

Is this the same??

Can somebody tell me is this the same character or they are difference?

Responsibilities

I actually have a friend whom is running a YB’s service centre. And because of his job duties, I always highlighted to him what’s our concern and how to improve Penang in certain ways.

And the funniest thing of the day is, they have received a letter from an appointed Government body and stated that what we had highlighted is unacceptable. And the story goes like this…

For those that drove passed Villa Emas, there’s a bumpy highway that leads to Penang Free Trade Zone. Any cars that pass by that will have to slow down as the road is sinking. Thus, many had actually highlighted to the right body, and the latter informed that this is belongs to another body who is the Federal’s management. Thus, the process is to write to them and informed them about the road condition.

Today we received an official letter from them and saying that the road is on perfect condition, need not to take further action, if complaint persists, please advise to seek the road developer to fix the problem.

Isn’t this is a joke??

People are pushing the responsibilities away… people mentality here are not the same as westerners or even our neighbour. They will just push it away and said it out loud that this ain’t belong to them. If each of everyone has such mentality, I shall see how would this grow.

CNY Hot Weather

The weather is so hot that you don’t even want to move during this period!!

Do you agree with me??

Today’s weather is like a killer waves. It’s hot, and it’s like burning our skin. I could feel my head is heavy and not able to move.

That’s why at this time, best is to hide yourself in the aircond room. The best place is our office. [LOL]

In fact, I got to know from a relative in Ipoh that Ipoh was having heavy down pour yesterday, yet Penang is like in a hot oven!!

That’s the reason why there are many people fell sick for this festive season. And I am one of them too… I was having bad cough since a week before new year till now.
