duk depan kompute

毎日毎日パソコン。
毎日毎日精神が乾いている。

太陽の下で、夏を楽しみたい。
でも、そうはいかない。いけない。
あれをやらなきゃ。
これを完成しなきゃ。

毎日毎日同じ繰り返し。
毎日毎日心が寂しい。

恋をほしがっているみたいだね。

another movie review!

although i'm dead busy right now, i'm still able to find some time to watch movies. at least 2 movies a week. here goes. my movie ratings !!! whatever.

Sicko - 9.0
Micheal Moore is a really talented documentary director. this is a very mind-opening documentary about how fucked up is insurance and heath care in the USA.

Ghost of Abu Ghraib - 8.8
A truly shocking documentary about what really happened at the famous American torture camp in Iraq; Abu Ghraib. One word: COVER UP. highly recommended if you want to hate America more hehehe. but really, some really fucked up shit happened there and the higher ranked people did everything to cover their ass.

States Evidence - 8.7
A story about a high school kid who plans to kill himself on camera. he decided to record his life on camera and say goodbye to his friends at school just before he commit suicide and the plot just got better and better until the finale. Really good pacing, terrific subject matter and the climax scenes were absolutely mind blowing. Low-budget films at it's best.

Shooter - 8.0
A fun hollywood action movie about a sniper who got framed by the US government. Mark Wahlberg. explosions. lots of people died in those explosions. do i need to say more?

The Banquet - 8.4
another good, epic chinese movie set during the era when chinese emperors have long tiny mustaches and every one who learn kungfu can fly. Zhang Zi Yi !!! Naked !!!

Reign Over Me - 8.5
Adam Sandler. NOT a comedy movie. there were some dark humors thrown in but the movie is really something that i didn't think Adam Sandler is capable of doing, but he did it. it was brilliant. a film about a guy who fell into the hole of deep depression when his wife and kids got killed during the 9/11 incident.

Wet Hot American Summer - 8.0
Surprisingly funny. A good parody film about teen movie during the 80's. people from the 80's were so cool !

tried and true method on how to make japanese (male) friends.

i've tried this method gazillions of times, and it never leave me in vain. behold my most genius technique on how to break the ice and make your japanese classmates, your friends:

cook them malaysian curry. make it spicy and serve them hot with akita komachi (japan's finest rice).

end of the great revealing of my powerful technique developed after years of dedicated research. proof of my great success:
p/s to my research subject depicted above, yuusei: gomen ne hahaahaha!

extra info:

curry is not exotic at all in japan. curry has been brought to japan since the meiji period by the british, thus were considered a western dish at that time. it does not take too much time for the spice-based dish to be popular here. it was during the 90's when restaurants and supermarkets all over japan started selling curry; and after that curry has been one of the most popular dish in a japanese home. the main difference between japan and malaysian curry is that, japanese curry is not hot but rather sweet (because apple and honey is added). malaysians add coconut milk in their curry while japanese don't. so to sum it up, japanese curry is sweeter, thicker and milder than the average malaysian curry.

super adjectives in kelantanese dialect

after my last post, i suddenly become aware of how awesome the kelantenese dialect is! although i was born, raised and lived in kelantan the first 15 years of my life, the dialect still never failed to impress me again and again with it's complicated grammatical structures and pronunciations; not to mention the different kinds of intonations available to produce different kinds of emotions and feelings.

so, today's post is about super-adjectives in the dialect. wait a minute, are these called super-adjectives? i don't know. i'm kelantanese. our english were supposed to be bad.

manis LLETING
masin PPEGHAK
pahit LLEPE
mase PPUGHIK
tawar EBER
putih SSUEH
hite LLEGE
biru KKETU
kuning NNEHE
kenye BBONYAH
comel LLOTE
gemuk DDEBOK
busuk BANGA
hapok KOHONG
nnakut/penakut apah
cerhoh/cerah jheriloh
jatuh celabok
kuca hanya

to those who are planning to marry a kelantanese, it would be very helpful to know the basics. you might get more bargaining power when shopping in kelantan with the right use of dialect ;)
