Gubra

I went to watch Gubra this evening with Midori and my sister. It was a good watch with many hilarious moments. The ones with Alan's parents were the best of the lot. Hahaha. Sharifah Amani was really cute and she looked damn good in a pink kebaya. She also looked really ketot beside Alan Yun. Anyway, i was actually expecting a sequel of sorts to Sepet but it wasn't really that. The movie had 2 storylines running in parallel and they weren't connected in any way. One was about Orked and Alan which didnt develop fully because it kinda hung in the end. The other storyline was about 2 prostitutes and a bilal family who lived next to them. However, in the end, it was a good Malaysian movie and i'm damn proud of Yasmin Ahmad for writing and directing quality Malaysian movies. You can read her blog because i've added her blog address to the sidebar.

I went to the Entrepreneurship Fair thingy at Main Hall this morning. I was approached by a saleslady for lampe berger and she was speaking in mandarin. So, as i've done countless of times before in my life, i told her "sorry, i cant speak chinese". She looked at me in total shock and disbelieve, like i've said the silliest thing on earth. Then she asked me the question that totally pulled rug from under my feet, "awak ni cina atau melayu?". With my mouth wide open, i asked "you are asking me whether i'm malay or chinese?". I thought i heard wrongly ma. Mana tau rite. Then she nodded, so i said i'm chinese. Then she tried her best to grasp and understand a completely and utterly new concept to her while saying "so you are chinese but cannot speak chinese". It was as if i just explained the theory of relativity to her man. I think she would be running around telling her friends how she met a chinese who cant speak chinese for quite some time. I think Logan should go speak mandarin to her. She'll probably ask him whether he's chinese or indian. It's gonna give her another shock of her life and i hope that her heart is strong enough to handle all the shocks from all the realities of life that she's gonna get in the future.
