Malaysia Day with Nasi Lemak 2.0 and Broken English

yes i know my english is bad. i dont have enough vocabulary and my english grammar is just suck. yes yes i knew it. but does it stop me to keep writing entries in english? so far no. i will write entries in whatever language i want because i want to. does it stop me for updating facebook and twitter in english? absolutely no.

:) i am learning and since we are in the internet space where everyone can talk/write anything we want, i dont mind if anyone of you who come across with this blog and feeling sick reading my bad english here to drop comments, let me know all the silly grammar or spelling mistakes. but please dont ask me to stop writing english because i wont.

i am malay and i'm proud of it. nobody can argue that. but i usually become more proud and have a bit of goosebumps everytime i introduce myself to foreigners that i am malaysian. i have few indonesian friends who are Buddhist and Muslim but i love the fact that they are all speak Bahasa Indonesia fluently. it's like our Chinese Kelantanese in Malaysia. like one of my friend back in campus, Pei Wen. i cant pretend not to look at her everytime she spoke in class because she got very fluent Kelantanese accent. Hehehe very cute i must say! She even proudly said that she feels safe and calm with the current state administration by Tok Guru Nik Aziz. :) definitely something to be think about, am i right?

please bear in mind, i dont intend to speak politic here. i think politic dramas in the country now playing a major part to separate us as a Malaysian. it is irony right? thats why, despite of everything i read in newspapers and watched in television, i dont judge. i will always look back in reality life surrounds me. i have lots of non-Malay good friends, i have Malay friends who marry with a non Muslim friends. it's like despite of all the differences we have, does this marriage cant give you a logic thinking that actually everything can be sorted off?

last weekend three of us (A, F, and me) watched Nasi Lemak 2.0 movie. i'm the one who bought the tickets so i'm the one who chose to watch the movie instead of Hantu Bonceng (watched it!), The Smurfs (i'll watch it this weekend) and Karipap-Karipap Cinta (errrr..). what shall i say about the movie? Hahaha i think Nasi Lemak 2.0 is the most sarcastic Malaysian movie i ever watched besides Mamat Khalid's Zombi Kampung Pisang. with Adibah Noor, Afdlin Shauki and Namawee in the movie, it was definitely a funny movie with a huge message to tell.

but sarcasm is not something that everyone can digest. i think half of the audience in the hall dont get the message, even A and F. they are laughing of the jokes but they did not understand the underlayer meaning of the silly dialogue. but i think Nasi Lemak 2.0 is another good trial from a Malaysian who wants to highlight our daily issues among other races, in a lighter and funny ways. Namawee, you just need to polish more on your script, then i think you can create another similar movies.


Selamat Hari Malaysia, Malaysia. Sebarkan cinta, jauhkan sengketa.
