S'kali

if you thought that i'd watch a Malaysian film, directed, written and produced by my own friends and not write a review about it, you...were quite correct at first. but i'm a rebel. and like most of the time, i'm out to prove you wrong. so here it is...

after much planning (you have no idea how busy a future pharmacist and an air stewardess can be), we finally got around to fixing a date to watch the much awaited movie which my dear RSG girlfriend Tan Yuh Huey and her boyfriend, Arivind Abraham produced. Arivind was the writer, producer and director if i'm not mistaken, whilst Yuh Huey was an associate producer. So we were all thrilled to watch it and thrilled to watch it in Cineleisure Damansara too! i'm telling u the place is like an intergalactic spaceship! pretty cool architecture.

there was this other group of people, which we assumed were friends of our friends as well. it was a pity not many people were watching that day, despite the fact it was a saturday and i know for a fact Yuh Huey and Arivind put in quite a bit of effort in promoting the film.

The movie was quite good. i really loved the storyline. like Rosie said, it's very Malaysian and very easy to relate to since it's about life at around my age and friends and love and...u get the picture. however, i do think that the flow of the film was a bit...detached at some point. like certain things are too abrupt. apart from that, i think it was an excellent first attempt! thank God the actors weren't all fake and trying too hard to copy the ang mohs. that's usually the case with a local production. the quality of the film seemed rather shoddy. Ive been told that it is "because cinemas in Malaysia do not have the proper equipment to show digital films. the movie actually looks super sharp on a proper high definition screen" (Tan, 2006). hehe...yea, so if u've watched it and was wondering the same thing, don't blame it on the producers. :)

Rosie, was laughing all the way, which made Lyn and I laugh too. the other group was laughing as well. haha...

anyway, Yuh Huey, if you're reading this, i'm really proud of both you and arivind. i especially loved your lovely picture at the end of the credits. why must your picture be so special ar?? and yes, as Rosie said, you're due for an interrogation session the next time u come back. so be prepared!
