初恋红豆冰


如果有一天,哪个人问我,“嘿,大马有哪部电影是能够代表你们大马华人文化的?”,我一定会回答他们说;“那当然是看‘初恋红豆冰’啦!!”

昨天,我闲着没事做,便约了Michelle到MBO那儿去看戏。本来就很想看‘出来红豆冰’的我,终于可以梦想实现了!

很多朋友都问我为什么这么喜欢看这部电影,我说是因为一来是首部FULLY华人制作的电影,二来也是因为里边有许多扬名海外的本地歌手与演员参与演出!

虽然是很期待,但我也不敢抱着太高的Expectation去看,免得失望嘛。。。

哪知道!!!那部戏一开始,我和我朋友便深深地被吸引住了!!!我的天啊!!!戏里边的画面全都好美啊~我想都没想到,原来马来西亚有那么美丽的风景!!!!里边的角色与Settings全都很熟悉,一草一木完完全全地展现出大马一贯迷人的风景!

里边的阿牛演Botak,‘Botak。。Botak'这样叫着,令我回想起以前小时候讥笑别人的时候!'打架鱼’,令我想起以前回婆婆家的时候,看着表哥们比谁的打架鱼强!哈哈,我就这样地深深地爱上这一部戏~

其实不止是我以上所说的那些,还有很多很多的华人文化涌在一起。当中有华人Kopitiam,炒果条,半熟蛋,槟城的周桥,赌坊。。。还有那些像马六甲的百年老屋。。。我简直没想到,原来我每天生活的点点滴滴与生活环境,原来在戏里面,是那么的Unique!

‘打架鱼’穿的木屐,就像我外婆每次穿的那双,红红的,走起路来‘格啦。。。格啦’叫。。。买万字的那些Aunties很像那些平常我在咖啡店见到的那些Aunties,什么东西都可以拿来买字!坐在窗边的那位老AhPek,就像那些每天都无所事事的老人家,去咖啡店叫一杯Kopi就可以和别的老AhPek讲到一天,要不然就坐在那边不知道在想什么!然后Botak每次`收的那些Kopi杯,就想到只有在传统的咖啡店里才找到的Kopi杯,一杯杯乌黑的咖啡,都是得由有经验的泡咖啡师傅所泡出来的。。。功夫一点都不能少!而Botak画画的房间外,就像马六甲古屋看出去的夜晚,静静的。。。听到Cicak的声音。然后在清晨听到的马来人念经的声音。。。傍晚听到卖Indian Roti Uncle 摩多车的声音。。。还有那粽油园。。。令我想起以前陪爸爸去探亲的时候经过的地方。。。一切从前美好的回忆,又被恢复了起来~

戏中有些爱情的故事,虽然很伤心,不过整体来说,是不错了!!!我最喜欢就是到了尾声的时候,有张栋梁和戴佩妮的客串!!!我和Michelle都兴奋的叫了起来!!!看着这部片子,我心里觉得无比的自豪!因为这证明了,我们本地华人是可以拍出好看的电影的!

阿牛!加油!!!期望你下一部的创作!!!

Sighs...after so many months since I've felt peace within myself. Now I'm being thrown with another trial to face. It's always got to do with my personality and faith! I'm torn between what I want and what God really wants me to have/do!!!

OK, here's the case. Normally, what I want, isn't what God wants! So whenever I think that I am doing the right thing (according to my own interpretation), it will end up tragically... Few months back when I was in my internship, I fully experienced God's grace in me. Maybe at that time of hardships, only I fully realize how awesome God is and I really fully trusted Him! So, my 6 months flew by with many bitter sweet moments!

Now, being back to my Uni life, I'm being shut back to my comfort zone. I no longer see God as how I used to see Him last time. Last time, every lunch break I will spring to the chapel to spend some quality time with God, chat with Him (more like I poured out my sorrows and He replied in His way...) and find time to evaluate on my daily life, my personality and how am I treating the people around me. As for now, I'm very lazy. I wake up just to have enough time to get ready for classes, say a very brief prayer in my car/ while driving to school. Lunch break to the chapel seemed like a million years ago story. Nowadays, I hardly even do my daily bible reflections! All my prayers are just bits of pieces being compile up together, mostly just being mumbled through because I will be yawning my way and my mind is blur... Deep in my heart, I know I'm wrong and somethings will soon to pop out to alert me, just that I didn't know it will happen so fast!

Reality strikes! I am now facing back all the negative attitudes I used to have before I took a month break from my committee! You can never imagine how terrible my attitude was before that, and I thought I've get rid of that part of mine already! Unfortunately, it doesn't fade away so easily. It must be kept away with strong prayers, reflections and tonnes of MSN with God!

Today I had the worst meeting I had with my fellow committees. I'm saying this in terms of my own personality... I was seriously struggling not to shout out at others and to force them to take in all of my opinions! At some point I even wanted to leave! It's the evil side of me trying to be set free! The only thing I was holding on was keep on trying to keep out of the things they were discussing. My mind was having this inter-conflict war inside of me! Then, when I heard that some of my friends get to join in some stuffs which I wasn't being asked, I was actually hurt/ jealous/ furious! These kind of feelings weren't supposed to come out from my mind and yet it did! I was panicked when I actually acknowledge how I felt just now! These feelings didn't only started in the meeting but it started since a few weeks back! I was constantly fighting the urge to snap at people who simply didn't know how to express their opinions and I always had this thinking that maybe I'm just an invincible person who doesn't deserve people's attention! My existence is nothing!

Seriously...there are more to say but these warnings are just the start....I don't know how long will it take to fight back....I felt like the character in 'Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde'!!!! I'm so afraid that I maybe going nuts!!!! I have to find back my inner peace. If not, I don't think I can even survive the sightliest challenge that occurs in my life.

Now, I felt ashamed to go back to God because of my doubts towards Him (it only happened recently, because I had this new theory about life-after-death, which I thought of out of the blue!). I felt like I don't deserve to be loved by Him anymore....I felt really useless, hopeless and I am really nothing! The point is, I really don't have the guts to face Him....Do you think He will actually forgive me and allowing me back? I am really a sucker....

About this blog

Life is like a roller coaster. Fulled of excitement and fear. You have to challenge yourself to face your fears and scream your lungs out when you are at the peak of it! Above all of these, God is the controller. He's the one who's doing things through me. I believe that my plans in life has been planned by him even before I was born. Despite how unreal this may sound, I fully entrust my life into his hands....and pray for the best of it!
