Crazy Rich Asians is the first film I watched this year. I'm glad to know that this film is a great one. The film taught me many life lessons. A woman should be brave, tough and independent to pursue her life. Rachel and Astrid are my fave characters.

This film is about Nick Young and Rachel Chu love's story. Nick brought Rachel to Singapore to his best friend's wedding along to meet his crazy rich family, that he never told Rachel before. It's quite challenging for Rachel to bring herself into Nick's family as they have different life style and culture. Rachel surprised to found that Eleanor, Nick's mom told her that she was not enough for Nick. She tried to mend. But then she was shocked when Eleanor told her the fact about her family after Eleanor hire private investigator. Nick was very angry, he's done making an excuse about his family. He's on his determination to marry Rachel.

"I'm not leaving because I'm scared, or because I think I'm not enough. Because maybe for the first time in my life, I know I am."

I love the way Rachel dealing with Eleanor, in a elegant way. She's brilliant in arguing about their relationship. Rachel told Eleanor that Nick proposed her the day before, but Rachel turned him down. Not because she didn't want to, but she doesn't want Nick lose his family. She noted that if Nick choose the family over her, Nick might spend the rest of his life resenting Eleanor. When Eleanor said "only a fool folds a winning hand", Rachel replied that she loves Nick so much and willing to sacrifice her happiness for his and to remember that when Nick finds someone else, another lucky girl, in the future who Eleanor approves of and is happily married that it was her, just a daughter of a low-class immigrant and a nobody, who made it all possible. Rachel left it all clear before leaving back to America, to let Eleanor know exactly what's happening.

"But let's be clear. The problem with our marriage isn't my family's money. It's that you're a coward. You gave up on us. But I've just realized, it's not my job to make you feel like a man. I can't make you something you're not."

And about Astrid, I love how she deal with her husband, Michael, who has an affair during their marriage. She didn't want to make a scene when she found someone text Michael "the bed feels empty without you" during the party. Another day, Astrid confronted about that to Michael, her husband, on their way to the wedding. Michael tried to it around on her for making him feel inferior with her constantly buying expensive items. Michael got out of the car to leave her attending the wedding alone. Astrid conquer it. She kept going to the wedding accompany her grandma without Michael.

Watching this film where Singapore is its main location reminds me about every corner of Singapore I visited, the memories linger on. Well, I love this city. Modern, very clean, well organized and comfort. Gardens by the bay scene makes me want to fly there, my favorit spot in Singapore. I love strolling around the garden in the evening and end my day watching Gardens Rhapsody, when the super trees come alive at night with a dazzling display of light bursting across the sky and exhilarating sound. For me, it's just perfect.

P.S I suggest you to read another review of this film in different point of view which is just out of the box here.

Bintang GTM

Seminggu ini menjadi salah satu minggu yang membuatku sedih. Bagaimana tidak, Bintang yang selama ini pemakan segala mendadak GTM. Usut punya usut, dia lagi sariawan. Ini sariawan yang kedua. Setelah yang pertama sembuh, sekarang kok ya nongol lagi. Mana kejadian ini muncul ketika Bintang recovery dari batpil, di mana saat itu makannya tidak seperti biasanya. Ya iyalah, orang sakit mana gampang makannya. Sedih lihat Bintang jadi agak tirus gitu pipinya. Makannya dikit geraknya banyak, nggak bisa diam. Ngocehnya juga banyak. Sedih juga ngebayangin berapa BBnya sekarang. *sembunyikan timbangan. Selama sariawan Bintang jadi sedikit makannya. Di sariawan pertama dia masih mau makan meski harus bubur. Masih gampang juga nyuapinnya. Di sariawan yang kedua susahnya minta ampun, dia lebih sering GTM. Aneka masakan sudah aku coba, aku sengaja memasakkan aneka menu favoritnya. Tapi cuma disentuh seimprit, itupun kalau dia mood. Kesabaran semakin menipis karena khawatir kekurangan asupan...

Cerita Dari Jogja (Part 2)

Bandara Adi Sucipto: tampak depan Kali ini aku akan bercerita tentang bandara yang ada di Jogja, yaitu Adi Sucipto International Airport. Meskipun bertaraf internasional, bandara ini termasuk kecil secara luasan bangunan dan landasan. Beda jauh dengan bandara Juanda di Surabaya atau Soekarno Hatta di Jakarta. Ruangan kedatangan domestiknya nggak terlalu gede, bisa dikatakan kecil malah, "cuma" dilengkapi tiga baggage claim. boarding room antrian masuk pesawat Untuk boarding room, berbeda dengan bandara lainnya yang bebentuk persegi panjang, di bandara ini bentuknya setengah lingkaran. Karena jumlahnya cuma satu, maka penumpang dari berbagai maskapai akan bercampur baur di sini. Boarding room ini dilengkapi 4 gate untuk naik pesawat. Cuma kemarin pas aku check in , di boarding pas s ku tertera gate 0. Berhubung ini baru pertama kali terjadi, daripada tersesat di bandara, aku bertanya ke salah satu petugas yang ada. Dari beliau, aku mendapatkan informa...

Aku dan Freezer = Pembuktian :)

Suka yang aneh - aneh. Doyan belanja. Boros. Keras kepala. Pemimpi. Itulah komentar orang - orang sekitar pas tahu aku berencana beli freezer baru karena freezer yang lama udah nggak muat buat ASIP. Sempat stress juga karena omongan tersebut. Tapi mereka kan nggak pernah berada di posisiku. Mereka nggak pernah pompa ASI kayak aku. Sempet kendur juga ketika disodori pertanyaan "emang bakal penuh?", "kalau udah nggak dipakai mau diapakan?". Hmm... Akhirnya aku tetap pada keputusanku, beli freezer baru. I don't care with all they said any longer. Modal utamaku cuma bismillah. Dan ketika freezer itu datang, apa yang terjadi? Aku menangis haru saat tahu freezer itu akhirnya penuh, bahkan nggak muat untuk ASIP yang ada setelah botol - botol yang berceceran (baca: dititipkan di mana - mana) dikumpulkan dan dipindahkan ke situ. Alhamdulillah wa syukurillah, aku berhasil membuktikan bahwa freezer ini emang worth to buy . Aku membuktikan kalau aku bisa ...
