NKOTB

So they have released a new single. I read in Life! earlier this month they are making a comeback. Didn't think much about it. But when i first heard their new single on "The Married Men" last week, i got goosebumps! Hahaha! Sure reminded me of my Henry Park Days ;)

It has indeed been an interesting week for me. Firstly, we were very gratified upon hearing Hilman's latest developments in school earlier this week. Alhamdulillah.

So to celebrate, off we went to watch Ironman which was so cool. Hmm Hilman still prefers his Transformers though. Hehe :)

Another movie we watched last week was the much-talked about Indonesian blockbuster, Ayat-Ayat Cinta. I was initially skeptical as to whether I would enjoy the movie. Given that i have read in the papers that the movie was about 4 women falling in love with the same guy? And polygamy. I sure wouldn't want to give any ideas to my husband. But hey.. i really enjoyed it. Immensely. Enough to make me want to read the actual novel. Which would be a first for me cos i have never read a Malay or Indonesian novel before. 

Granted, the show has several loopholes and at least 1 scene had me laughing at the silliness of it all. And the acting wasn't very convincing at times. But the storyline was powerful enough to deliver. And enough to make me cry. Definitely my favorite Indonesian / Malay movie so far. 

And just yesterday, i had a blast with my 2 best friends, Aida & Diana. Albeit the horrible dinner we had at a certain halal eatery at the Esplanade. Not to mention, the shoddy service we received. The food was nowhere near decent. And the price we paid was definitely  not justifiable. 

So anyway, we watched P Ramlee the Musical and were seated at the VIP box. The seats weren't near the stage. But the seats were elevated and the view was clear. I fully agree with Meike that the 2nd half of the show was more enjoyable. And so did Diana and Aida. 

The musical was about the life of the legendary icon P Ramlee. It highlights on the hurdles he went through, sacrifices he made and of course his women. 

The cast did an incredible job especially Muslee Ramlee whom I thought did a remarkable job of impersonating  P Ramlee. It was almost eerie. 

Of all the 4 lead actresses, i felt Melissa Saila's performance was most stupendous. She played the character of Norizan, his 2nd wife. I love how she portrayed her character so well.

Of course, Liza Hanim did not fail to impress too. Her singing was stunning and melodious. 

One surprising thing i learned was that P Ramlee didn't actually enjoy stardom throughout his whole life. Prior to his death, he witnessed his popularity plunging and seemingly, he died almost as poor as he was at birth. His Tan Sri title was in fact posthumously awarded. I couldn't help but feel sorry for him. And sorry that i didn't know about this till now. Sheesh. I should have done my thesis on P Ramlee instead of Akira Kurosawa last time.

So anyway, it was definitely worth the 100 bucks we each paid for our seats. Especially since we got to meet the cast after that. We were first in line to congratulate the 4 main cast. Hehe...

The Yearly Affair


It has since became a yearly affair. All the gals and the women in the family would go for a high tea reception to celebrate Mothers' Day. The boys did contribute in the expenses of course. Haha..

So yesterday all of us gathered @ the Raffles Plaza Ballroom. Everyone came late naturally. Me and my mom were the 1st to arrive and ours was the only empty table. With the cold dishes already served. Hehe..

Kudos to the organizing committee this year. It was definitely much more well-prepared this time round. And we managed to get a better table this year. My complaints? The function seems to be very rushed this year. The host was seen checking his watch umpteen times. The ending was also very abrupt. And got everyone wondering whether the celebrities would be making their final appearance for their ardent fans. 

I got a handmade bouquet from my little one last Thursday. Yet to grasp the concept of Mothers' Day, he wished me a Happy Birthday when i called from the office :)

Next weekend they will be showing the P Ramlee the Musical. I don't mind catching it since it is a long weekend after all. Reviews seem to be good. And i did enjoyed the Puteri Gunung Ledang Musical very much. But the husband isn't keen on going. Hmm ...

In Pursuit of Happiness

Spoke to an ex-colleague earlier. She was surprised that I am still with my present job after all these years. Even commented that I have changed?

Did reflect on some of the stuffs she mentioned. And yes i do agree some things aren't as important to me as they were before. 

At the end of the day, I just want to be a good mom and a good wife and a good daughter. And along the way, I hope to be a good employee and a good friend to everyone I know. 

I admit sometimes i want nothing more than to be a SAHM. To be a full-time mother. But hey, who am i kidding? I can't cook for nuts. Hate doing the laundry. My husband laughs at my ironing skills. A domestic goddess, I am not. That much i am sure.

So that leaves me where i am. And yes, I am happy. Although I am still not 100% satisfied. But i hope to get there someday.

Anyway, to all my other mommy mates, Happy Mothers' Day! :)
