A Note Of Love

Today didn't have class but had to go Bakerzin Bangsar for some training. Then at night I went to Midvalley to watch "A Note Of Love" with Shin Sar, Fanny and Yeerei.

"A Note Of Love" was something that kept surprised from all Daniel fans since last year. Haha. Never would we expected Daniel to be starred in a movie. Yes, Daniel is in this movie. Special appearance with Sharifah Amani.

(From The Star) A Note of Love is self-financed, made from savings collected by "working hard while living cheap". It is a film with two stories - that of a 60-year-old man who rediscovers his love for his wife after finding his son's love letter, and that of a little boy who has "that funny feeling" for the first time and struggles to understand it. Shot partly in Penang and partly in Petaling Jaya's old town in Selangor, the film is Chung's digital feature debut, so he is very enthusiastic about it.

This movie expresses what ordinary people do in their ordinary life. It emphasize on the things and feelings that we usually don't take notice of in our normal daily lives. "What is love?" was often asked in the movie. Writing love letter, daydreaming about the girl you like, gossiping on the street, old couple in the cinema etc.

Linus Chung is the director of the film. If none of you recall who is Linus, he acted in the movie "Sepet" as Ah Loong's (Ng Choo Seong) best friend, Keong. In A Note Of Love, Linus' name is also Keong :)

I've heard the others saying this movie is really boring and not nice. But throughout the 1 hour and 20 minutes, I don't know about my other three friends, but I trully enjoyed every single bit of the movie. Because it really express what ordinary people are going through, and what ordinary life, ordinary pleasures are. After watching the making of this film, I respect Linus even more :) He put in a lot of effort for this film.

The making of A Note Of Love - Part 2

Although Daniel didn't really appear in many scenes and spoke less than 10 sentences altogether, but, somehow I feel that, the way he act is how he is behaving in his life. Haha, a very cute Daniel. And, I like a couple of casts in this film - Alice Tan (Celine in this film, Keong's gf) and Eugene Neo (the 5 year old small boy) He's just so so so cute! Sharimah plays the role similar to Orked in Sepet, and Linus is funny. Haha!

Hope you guys will go and watch this movie. By the way, the movie is mostly in Hokkien. Partly English and Malay. Support local movies! :)

Post-movie thoughts:
After watching this film, I realize that we should never jump into conclusion before understanding the whole situation. Sometimes, things might take up to one, two or even ten years to be understood clearly. And for every thing that happened, clearly there's a reason behind it.

And, cherish every moment you have in life. It might be ordinary to others, but it's extraordinary to you yourself :)

[Phood] Wan Tan Mee, Satay Kambing near FGA, Old Klang Road

For those of you who knows where's FGA Church at Old Klang Road (the turning to Kuchai Lama/Happy Garden) for sure will know these night stalls that open next to FGA. (If you're at Old Klang Road coming from PJ/KL, turn left at the traffic light after the Old Klang Road wet market, the stalls are immediately on your right) There are a variety of food there such as wan tan mee, lamb, prawn mee, chee cheong fun, tong sui, satay, stir fries etc. For the past many years, me and my family often patronize this area because of the nice wan tan mee and chee cheong fun and the satay.

(But recently they seemed to have some arguments and categorize the seatings. E.g: If you sit here, you cannot order from there. If you sit there, you cannot order from here. :p) So, the best place is, sit at the seats near to the shop lots or AT the shop lots (near the satay stall).


The whole family run the business. I personally like their wan tan mee. Very nice texture. (But sometimes the owner mood swing then not nice ler) :p


For those of you who likes to drink Sa Lei juice (some call it Umbra), you can get it here. Umbra with a couple of sour plums. Yum yum.


Satay! Yum yum. Recommend you the Kambing satay. It's heaven. This Malay couple started small, until now, still maintain small. Selling it at night, sometimes catering for functions. My dad always find him to cater satay for functions. Very down to earth guy. Don't talk bad of him in Chinese, he knows what you're saying one :D:

There's another stall that sells chee cheong fun, sotong kangkung, and tong sui. Well, chee cheong fun everywhere has similar taste. It's good lah overall :)

The stalls are open at night, dinner time until about midnight. Can't remember when they are closed though :S With less than RM10, you can eat until full full :)

And oh, at the shop lots, there's this bakery shop that sells Siew Pao, Kaya Puff, Heong Peang etc. I lovveeee their Pork Siew Pao. Yum yum! Better than the Seremban one i feel :p Sorry lah, my personal taste ma. :D:

[Phood] Shihlin Taiwan, 1 Utama

Last Saturday went to 1U for some briefing at Bakerzin. Woke up early in the morning just for a half an hour briefing, boh gam wan, must eat before I leave. Louis suggested Taiwanese snacks so we made a stop at Shihlin Taiwan at the 2nd floor, Courtyard Zone. I'm sure many of you will know this place. It's near Tower's Records, opposite Oldtown Kopitiam. I've seen many people eating at this small shoplot but this is my first time trying. Limited choices they have - Only the Oyster Mee Suah (RM5.50), Seafood Tempura (RM5.50), Chicken Floss Crepe Pancake (RM5.50), Giant Deep Fried Boneless Chicken (RM5.50, similar to Uncle Bob) and drinks like mineral water (RM2) and soya bean only.

All 4 of us ordered the mee sua (seems to be the dish everyone orders). Being a person who likes to taste different things, I was very tempted to try the crepe and the tempura. And when KY suggested to order some, I instantly said yes.

If you're tired of shopping and just want to snack on something, this is a very nice place to be. The mee suah looks small but it's really filling. And the chili is real spicy. There are oysters, chicken breast meat, coriander, chili, mee suah...

I personally didn't really like the seafood tempura or whatsoever it is called. It tasted like normal fried fish paste to me. Nothing special :p

I kinda like this chicken floss crepe. It's chicken floss + egg wrapped in pancake and served with some sweet sauce :)


Worth a try :) Yummy.

Recent Updates...

Gosh, I totally neglected my bloggie for so long... Now I've got tonnes to update you guys on. Wahaha...

170907 - I had a very memorable birthday this year. Thanks to all who wished me, celebrated with me, and gave me all the wonderful surprises. Not to SS or be action, but just to share my birthday this year with you guys. 140907, went out for dinner with Sarahg, Sar, Szen, SA, Fanny, Yeerei and LW @ Kura, One World Hotel. It's under Super Dining, so basically it's Zen and Rakuzen's sister restaurant which serves very similar food at a more expensive price. Haha. Environment is superb, the deco all were pretty pretty, very autumn-ish style. Food wise, like I said, similar to Zen, and I still prefer Zen. Maybe because of the price la. 150907 went for SQ's farewell and bday party at his house, the TD gang surprised me with a small oreo and cheese cake at the end of the party. Thanks all. Really happy to see you all after so long.

170907 Edmund called me in the morning asking me where I am, saying he's coming over to drop me something. Ed, you think I stupid one meh? Can guess one ler. Kekeke. But didn't expect Ker Ying, Terence and Shiao Teng though. Ying Ker, say still in Genting samore. Thanks for the greentea cake :) You guys remembered. Then we went for lunch at Finnegan's in MV. They have set lunches at RM13 nett with 6 choices but left 3 choices only. (And the food sucks, service sucks :p) It's ok, everything's worth a try. At night, went Tai Thong for dinner with whole family. Wah, everybody came wor. Usually is either one not there or more than that due to studies or work, but that day everyone came. Even my cousin who finish class at 8pm also rush there. Aww... (hmm, maybe for the food only la). But it was a nice dinner. Managed to take photos with each family. It doesn't happen in our tradition one ok. I mean, seldom.

Last week was busy, busy, busy. When I'm free, suddenly will have things to do one. Ish ish ish. But hor, when there's so many things to do, I don't know which one to do first and end up not doing anything. Swt.

Suddenly getting desperate for a change. Now I feel like cutting my hair short, but due to the texture of my hair, I scared I'll end up to be 'lion king' instead :S

Finally finished Miss Karen's project and presentation. What a relief! Nothing to worry about anymore besides Sem 2 Exam and Dissertation.

Just came back from the Isetan The Gardens (in MV, opposite Kim Gary that building) part time work. Isetan opening, so Bakerzin which is situated inside Isetan cater the food and drinks that night. Stood like some bongong fella holding 6 glasses full of drinks on a tray on one hand for 1 hour straight. Hand also shivering like hell. Saw quite some famous people though. Winnie Loo (A Cut Above owner), Serena C (hitz.fm), William Quah (TV host/actor/news presenter), chunted chicks and super good looking guys. A lot of not-so-straight ones too. And some unfashionable people who thinks they're fashionable. And... and... nevermind. I even met Isa, Ching, Marianne and Anju there :) But unfortunately no time to talk to them. There were so many VVIPs. I'm sure at certain point I was serving perhaps the richest man in Malaysia, or Isetan's boss, or the owner of Metrojaya or something :S Too bad I don't know who are they.

It's funny how everybody's behavior are so different from each other. Some so demanding, some so selfish, some so friendly, some so desperate, some so annoying, some so nice, some has two 'faces', some couldn't care less, some so smart, some so stupid. Some people like Miss Karen who remembers everything and anything, some people like my dad who is observant and patient, some people like.. like.. all the people I know.

Sacrifices... Everyone makes sacrifices in life. Some sacrifice for their family, some sacrifice for themselves, some sacrifice for friendship, some for love, some for work, some for their children, some for other people's benefits. Have you ever sacrificed for anything before? Saiu San asked me "If Ker Ying was kidnapped by someone, and only you can save her, but the kidnapper wants you to eat a pile of shit in order to save her, will you?" Haha. That's a good one.

Ok, I know this posting is very confusing. Pfft. Nite nite.

- Hopefully 'hao peng you' will remain forever :) -

Speechless...

Teng sent me a video clip to watch. Regarding some UPM students fighting for their rights.

Watch it.

I'm seriously speechless after watching it. What do you think?

However, sometimes I wonder the accuracy when you hear something from one side of the party only. Sometimes, you will never know the real story if you only hear it from one side. In order to judge, you have to hear BOTH sides, or three, four, five, six sides... Never judge a book by its cover. A mango might look succulent, bright yellow on the outside, but inside it's all filled with worms.

Far distance relationship always seems to cause troubles for any couple. It definitely was a tough decision. Sigh. Stay strong my friend. You know who you are. (I'm not talking about myself ark!)

Anyway, made a simple forum for Danny. Erm, partly because AA has been making noise sayinig no place to share his pics. Plus since I can't do anything in danny2u forum, so I open up one myself :) Just a simple one. Just to share all I know about Danny. Hope all my readers here will support. It's in english and mandarin. It's still very empty now because I just opened it, plus I'm still new in all these IT stuff. Any feedbacks are welcomed :)
