Kuala Terengganu, The ultimate hotspot

Sudah begitu lama saya tidak menikmati keindahan dah kecantikan tempah kelahiran saya, Kuala Terengganu. Kuala Terengganu ada ibu negeri Terengganu yang cukup kaya dengan sumber bumi dan budaya. Dan disebabkan itu juga lah negeri Terengganu dikenali sebagai negeri cantik, budaya menarik.
Pada firasat saya, banyak sudah perubahan-perbahan yg dialami oleh bandar ini. Bandar yang cukup sinonim dengan makanan-makanan pantai timur dah kain songket serta batik. Dengan kepadatan 300,000 orang, Kuala Terengganu sentiasa menjanjikan kedamaian dan ketenangan setiap kali saya menjejakkan kaki di bumi ini.

Kedua ibu bapa saya masih ada di Kuala Terengganu, menjalani kehidupan harian bersama rutin-rutin harian yang agak sibuk. Rasanya, keinginan untuk balik ke kampung sudah tidak dapat dibendung lagi, sejak bulan yang lepas, saya sudah pack semua barang -barang untuk dibawa pulang ke kampung. Tinggal sebulan lagi sebelum saya belepas pulang ke Kuala Terengganu, dah setiap hari juga saya menghubungi ibu saya bertanyakan khabar. Biasalah, rindu kampung halaman tidak dapat dibendung lagi, walhal banyak benda lagi yang perlu saya uruskan disini.


Gambar diatas adalah gambar yang saya ambik ketika saya dan keluarga saya menjamu selera di sebuah kedai makan di Pantai Kelulut, Marang. Pantai yang cukup bersih dan cantik untuk dikunjungi. Selalunya, setiap kali saya pulang ke kampung, saya akan datang ke sini, samada bersama keluarga saya ataupun dengan kawan-kawan saya. Azlina, hamidah, Nuar, Zubir, Zaisha adalah antara teman-teman rapat saya yang sentiasa menemani dan sentiasa menjadi teman rapat saya. Sejak di sekolah tadika lagi, mereka ini lah kawan -kawan saya, sampai sekarang kami masih menghubungi antara satu sama lain dah sentiasa meluangkan masa bersama tak kala saya pulang ke kampung. Tapi sekarang, semuanya sudah bekerja, kadang-kadang agak sukar untuk meluangkan masa untuk bersama-sama. Tapi, persahabatan tetap kukuh walau dimasa kami berada. ( Tiada seorang pun dikalangan kami sudah mendirikan rumahtangga), Adakah kalangan kami ini tidak laku atau masing-masing jual mahal??.

Masih segar diingatan saya setiap kali berkunjung ke pasar malam di mana mana tempat disekitar kuala terengganu, semestinya saya akan membawa pulang beberapa bungkus laksa penang, ayam goreng dan kuih-2 sehingga kan tiap kali saya pulang ke rumah, emak saya selalu bising sebab terlalu banyak makanan dibawa pulang. Membazir katanya..tapi betul pun apa yang emak saya cakap, tak abis makan pun. Beli semata-mata nafsu jer. Pasar malam yang saya biasa pergi adalah Pasar Maghrib Pasir Panjang, Pasar Malam Gelugor dan Pasar Malam Atas Tol. best! best!....

So kepada Fadhil, tak reti-reti nak balik kampung ker?


Mukhsin, The Third Chocolate Cake from Yasmin


Not a long time ago, she has made us proud. And again, what can i say about this filmmaker, Yasmin Ahmad. She is really making us proud. While two of her feature films, Sepet and Gubra, are still picking up awards at reputable film festivals all over the world, her third outing, Mukhsin, has been selected to compete at the 57th Berlin International Film Festival, and finally she managed to bring two of major awards for Mukhsin, besides so many critics and controversy against her films but it was not weaken her passions in this industry.
**


If i am not mistaken, Mukshin had wowed the audiences of the 19th Tokyo International Film where it was nominated for Best Asian Film. There is not other wonderful stories about Yasmin, a very dedicated and talented moviemaker.

Mukhsin, is a name of a boy, basically is a tender and touching story about a 12-year-old boy, Mukhsin and 10-year-old Orked (Sharifah Aryana Syed Zainal Rashid, the baby sister of Sharifah Amani who played Orked in Sepet and Gubra), who discover something more meaningful and beautiful about their friendship. However, during that time Orked is too young to understand the meaning of love while Mukhsin is in a progress of "akhil baghlil", till the end Mukhsin is still failed to voice what he feels about Orked. So, let's check it out what was happened after that in the cinema soon!.
**
After CINTA, now it comes with "Mukhsin" with an excellent direction and strong base of principles, cultures and passions.

Kyle XY, Another John Doe Series

Hye again!. today i am off again. Spending my whole morning watching KYLE XY, thanks Sakinah for the streaming website. Understand that KYLE XY DVD will be released on May this year, so watch out guys!.
**
KYLE XY is an american drama series about a boy named Kyle, a boy who wakes up in the forest with no memories of his life. The series follows Kyle as he tries to understand the whole things of human life and at the same time to understand the mysteries of who he is. The star of Kyle XY is Matt Dallas who known as the most beautiful men in the internet and other casts who i can't recall the names, just few characters from the drama such as Stephen, Lori, Nicole, Josh, Amanda and bla bla..
**
First time i know about this series was from one blog, saying about this series which was at that time a premiere showtime in Malaysia. I believe that there are few countries internationally broadcasting this series which are United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, and Malaysia. Malaysia was the first country broadcasted this series in the national television (TV3). TV3 is the national television?? might be not.
This morning i managed to complete up to series 3 only because the season one was incompletely posted in the website. So, probably i will get the whole series from the store when the DVD is released in this 22rd May.
**
This series is quite similar with John Doe, although it was supposedly created before the latter became a series. Well, after seen the first part of Kyle XY, i believe this series has brought another phenomenon to the tv viewers in Malaysia after the hit series of Smallville and Gilmore Girls, and the most important thing is that the main actor of Kyle XY is really cute and when i saw him few weeks ago in Views Interviews, he was hot and the audiences which were there during the interviews gone crazy with screaming and shouting Matt's name. He really makes the girls crazy!.

p/s: I think husin is a big follower of this series.
