OMBAK RINDU

Watched Ombak Rindu..the Malay movie that made many viewers cried buckets. Based on their FB statuses of course.

NOT ME though..hehehe..

I didn't enjoy it very much and I didn't read the novel either. I just thought I watched it cause I have nothing better to do. Hehehe..

1. I think Maya Karin was not suitable to be Izzah. She has a different slang to her Malay. So, I felt weird about it. I am still thinking who should be Izzah. Tiz Zaqyah possibly but maybe that would be typical as well because of her role in Nur Kasih..so, who else is there? But don't get me wrong, Maya Karin did her job very well.
2. Aaron Aziz was great. He is indeed a good actor
3. I really liked the dialogues that were prepared for Hariz. It was similar to everyday conversations..well, most of the scenes la..not all..unlike the dialogues for Izzah..I mean, for example 'Di sini lah Izzah cuba lari dari Abang tapi di sini lah Abang juga beritahu yang Abang sayangkan Izzah, ombak dan pantai menjadi saksi..bla bla bla..' Hahaha..everyday conversation cakap macam ni ke? That is why Yasmin Ahmad's films were good and close to heart sebab her dialogues were real..her dialogues ye not her scenes..sebab I do feel like sometimes some of her scenes were over the top.
4. I wish Izzah is more real as a woman yg berkongsi suami. Sure akan ada rasa geram bila your husband has to go out with the other wife. I wish there is some humour in her character. Not much, just a bit. Like maybe give some kind of evil eye look when Mila and Hariz was leaving or something like that. It would be nice to laugh a bit and be sympathetic with her. I tried to be but I can't cause she was too soft. You know who I like as a strong woman character, the lawyer character acted by Fazura in Tahajjud Cinta. She was great in that role.

I have a lot to say and I felt like creating a forum about it. Hahaha..but well, overall, it is not a bad movie. Just basically ok.

Normally, what made me cry when I watched a movie is when it involves parents and their children. Like the movie Cinta and the ending of Nur Kasih where Afida Es remembered her son and hugged him. *sigh*..mmg bergenang airmata..

So,anyway, at least I have one entry for today :)

PHEW...

Submitted my thesis this morning. Yeay!

But not without a drama!

I actually submitted yesterday evening, ingat pagi ni dapat la bangun tidur feeling calm and free. Anyway, after submission, I went back to school and my friends congratulated me etc..then one of them made a joke about 'the worst thing that can happened is if your title is wrong due to spelling etc'..I laughed and I looked at the cover page of my first draft and there it was!

A grammar mistake! It should Fabrication and not Fabricating! OMG!

Dah la ni jenis bind yg glued the pages together, something like a book. If it was mcm yg ring-binding tu then it would be easier to change la kan. So, it was 4.30pm then, graduate school closed at 5pm. I rushed back to the building and I asked the reception whether I can take it back..the people from graduate school told me that it was just a soft bound copy and not the hard bound copy..so not to worry..but I told her..I will not be able to sleep tonight..hehehe..so, I took it back, printed out the correct cover page and jadi mcm kraftangan session la pulak..in the end, I managed to slide the cover page in the slot and glued it again. Haihh..mcm2..yang kelakarnya, even my supervisor and his research associate pun can missed it. That's what happened if you were too focused on the content, sampai small things boleh tak perasan.

But to be honest, after submission, I don't feel like super-happy or anything like that. I think because I know there will be the viva session and after I pass that, yes, I can be super-happy and excited sampai keluar airmata. I wish Mr. PIC was here, tengah ada free time macam ni mmg seronok kalau dapat jalan2 kan?

Well..last night, me and my colleagues celebrated my submission day despite the drama because theoretically I had submitted..hehehe..but Alhamdulillah, it all ends well.

The thing is, I can't go home yet, because I have to do some lab work in Durham to publish a journal (finally!)..so, I hope and pray I can come home before mama's birthday (22nd January)..

So, again Alhamdulillah..thesis submitted!

Yeay :)
