Jobhunting is exhausting. But living in an environment where discounts are everywhere and I am powerless to buy is absolutely sucks. A job is not something that I need anymore. It is something that I want, and it's a must!
MSI Group is going to call me this week if I fit their criteria and get the job as engineer at their firm. And I am absolutely looking forward for that. A job in central KL, mainly in KLCC area and a job in consulting is something that I have been searching all this while. I am also waiting for any interview request from AirAsia and EDAG (an automotive consulting firm from Germany), but yeah of course, first firm that hiring me will get my top priority.
On another note, me and Abah went to ICOM (International College of Music) Open Day today. ICOM is one of Asia's leading music school, offers variety academic programme related to music, and it has very great network with famous music school around the world, including Berklee College of Music in Boston, USA and also great touch with music industry. I am interested to join their weekend class later, as one of my life resolution next year is to learn how to play one musical instrument. They also has quite a great list of alumnus, including my fave Mia Palencia from Double Take (jazz duo). She has the most amazing voice I ever heard in my dear whole life, and I will review her later in this blog (when I've got the right time and right information, of course).
I have three books in my shelf, waiting to be read:
1-John Perkins's Confessions of an Economic Hit Man
2-Mitch Albom's The Five People You Meet in Heaven
3-Michael Crichton's A Case Of Need
I have no mood in reading recently. The only stuff that I read is mags, range basically from this month's GQ and Off The Edge. I was quite disappointed with Off The Edge these days, somehow it appears to be more political inclined and its tagline 'arts and culture for businessperson' sounds so unrelated to me.
Apart from reading, the next list is will fill my Movie Goers review later:
1-Arang (Korean horror-thriller flick) - now screening in cinemas. Plan to watch it after Malaysia Airport's Management Trainee Pre-Test Selection this Tuesday.
2-Volver (Spanish) - saw this film promo at London Underground while I was in London last August. Pedro Almodovar is one of my favourite film director. Plus Penelope Cruz is a darling. Who need other reason?
3-Cicak Man (Malay sci-fi) - ehh?
4-Sinking of Japan (Japanese thriller) - watch the trailer and you'll be dying to watch this movie.
I am also finishing Dance Drill (Japanese dorama) starring by Eikura Nana and Kato Rosa. Great dorama. Haih. Still I am wondering, why Japanese can make such an interesting dorama and we can't? Theirs include story about cheer dance, F1 driver, pilot, shotgun marriage, and many more subjects but we still bounded in family problem and polygamy plotlines. Why in the world we cannot make something out of the box?
I have put this blogspot site in my URL section in my CV. So any future employer and boss who care to read my CV and surf this blog a.k.a my personal site, you are most welcome. This site may just be some little piece or fraction from my whole life story, and it also hard to tell what kind of person I am because it is still new, although I have been blogging since my college days (in other blog address).
Till then.
Trailer untuk filem ini rasanya dah sebulan lebih kat TV dan suratkhabar. Ada orang kata Cinta ialah filem Melayu yang ditunggu-tunggu tahun ini. Ada jugak orang kata Cinta ialah lambang kebangkitan filem Malaysia. Semua review kat paper kata Cinta ialah satu filem yang mampu menyentuh naluri kemanusiaan. Senang citer, semua orang kata Cinta filem yang best. Review jugak kater, Cinta ialah filem Malaysia pertama yang guna multiplot macam Love Actually. And due to the fact that I am a sucker of Love Actually (minat giler sampai ade kat dalam hard disk PC nih and ulang tengok for zillion times kot), I'm overly excited for Cinta.
Opps, plan tanak guna English untuk review Cinta. So kembali berbahasa Melayu. Kalau nak diceritakan tentang jalan cerita Cinta, sinematografi dan soundtracknya, anda boleh baca mende mende tu kat paper. Kan? Jadi apa lagi yang ada kt filem ni sampai sumer orang kate filem ni wajib tonton tahun ni? Ini sebabnya.
Since ever, dunia memang pandang ke Barat dalam sumer perkara. Okay, that's maybe a mistake historically (sbb bukan since ever pon) but hakikatnya, itulah realitinya sekarang ini. Hollywood menjadi pengeluar filem-filem hebat dunia, kerana mereka mampu memberikan yang terbaik dalam seni sesebuah filem itu, baik daripada kesan efek khas hinggalah kepada pelakon-pelakon yang hebat. Namun itu tidak bermakna dunia Timur (khasnya Asia) ketandusan karya-karya yang boleh dibanggakan. Filem-filem Asia mungkin tidak sehebat Hollywood daripada segi teknologi (CGI effects and so on), tapi filem Asia memang hebat apabila menyentuh aspek emosi.
Amat jarang jika diperhatikan dalam sesebuah filem Hollywood, scenes yang mampu membuatkan penonton mengalirkan air mata setempayan. Tapi ia adalah perkara biasa bagi sebuah filem Asia. Bukan setakat filem, malah turut merangkumi semua produksi termasuk drama TV. Lihat sahaja semua karya-karya Asia. Contoh yang telah saya tonton dan minati termasuklah Korea (Taegukgi), Jepun (One Litre of Tears, Mukodono 2003 etc.), Indonesia (Tentang Dia etc.) dan banyak lagi. Ini belum masuk filem Hong Kong, Iran dan Bollywood. Cinta, as a matter of fact, juga tergolong dalam kategori ini.
Namun apa yang menarik tentang Cinta ialah, it looks, sounds and feels great. Sinematografinya menampilkan shot-shot yang terbaik. Nampak macam commercial raya Petronas and a music video at the same time. Selesai menonton Cinta, akan ada suatu perasaan di hati penonton untuk berkata dalam hati, "Cantiknya KL! Apsal selama nih rasa cam biasa je?". Yes, Cinta telah membangkitkan perasaan itu pada saya. Who needs London anyway, hehe!
Soundtrack, superb. Saya sangat teruja apabila mendengar lagu Anggun - Selamanya menjadi tabir untuk scene Dyan dikebumikan (spoiler ahead!), sebab I'm a die hard fan of Anggun. Ternyata pemilihan lagu yang dibuat sangat sangat bersesuaian untuk semua scene dalam filem ini. Two thumbs up.
Feeling. Hmmm. Apa nak citer lagi? Sumer feel ade. But scene yang bole buat anda menangis ialah scene hujan (masa tu lagu Cinta by Misha Omar and Jaclyn Victor) and scene Dyan baca puisi (eh puisi ke? cam doodles je) kt Dani at ward.
Apa lagi? Tak reti reti nak gi wayang tengok citer Melayu? Cinta finally at our cinemas brother, watch it with love.
