Ayat Ayat Cinta?

2008-10-17T12:34:00.012+08:00

i remember joking about this movie with some friends of mine who were not that enthusiastic about the movie. many of my college friends are just so in love with the movie that i feel i need to do it justice by watching it (finally). so i did, it was aired on TV3 last Friday and now, i just HAVE to write about it.

i first heard about it from my college friends who were reading the book then. someone actually asked me to read it but being the sceptical girl that i am, i ofcourse just laughed it off. sure, the title is catchy but i'm still not interested in reading it even after i watched the movie. firstly, i have to point out some illogical parts in the movie that's just unbearable for me. sorry to those who love AAC (found this short form on the net). can you actually get married when the bride is unconscious? what was the significance of Aisha being a German and that allows Fahri to leave prison for a few hours? (ok this part is probably arguable since i dont really know much about law in Mesir. still is illogical for me though.) then there's the part where the evil Bahadur, the real scumbag, testified! how did that Noura girl end up in his clutches after she has stayed with her parents? and then...dear sweet Maria had to die..but of what? no offence...but nosebleeds are just not chronic enough a symptom. in the end, the person i pitied most was Nurul! my dad and i actually concluded halfway through the movie that BOTH Maria and Aisha would die and Fahri will marry Nurul. hey, all the girls should get their chance right? so, Aisha will die after giving birth and Maria will die of the mystery illness that she died of. but, only the latter came true. so what was Nurul's part in the movie? just another girl who's head over heels for Fahri? then i thought maybe she would end up with Fahri's good friend Saiful (i think that's his name). she could've had a better ending...

still, there are some parts of the movie that really moved me. i guess i finally understood the Ayat Ayat Cinta part of the whole movie. the language they used are so beautiful. i especially liked the part where Fahri and Maria were overlooking the waters and talked about jodoh.

Maria: Kamu percaya jodoh Fahri?
Setiap orang memiliki jodohnya masing-masing, itu yang kamu bilang
Aku pikir Sungai Nil dan Mesir itu jodoh
Seneng yah kalo kita bisa bertemu dengan jodoh yang diberikan Tuhan dari langit?

Fahri: Bukan dari langit Maria tapi dari hati, dekat sekali

and another one when Maria was talking to Fahri at the end...

Maria: Aku minta maaf bukan karna kesalahanku, tapi kebodohanku
Sekarang aku baru ngerti antara cinta dan keinginan untuk memiliki, tidak sama
Maafin aku Fahri, Aisha

hurm..so in conclusion, it wasn't entirely boring. just the funny illogical parts that i couldn't ignore. other than that, it's a lovely story. so if you haven't watched it yet, please do. maybe it's not exactly like the book but hey, no book adaptation is 100% the same anyway.

at 21, my list of boyfriends is really quite short. actually, i don't even think u can call it a list coz there's just a couple of names on it! when i compare my non-existent love life to my friends', it really depresses me. i mean from all the typical teen love stories, TV series and even books, u atleast meet the person that you're compatible with, 'the one' or your first love at a young age. either you fall in love straight or you'll take 20 years to realize your feelings. and then the whole drama revolves around how their love is doomed and it's them against the world.

whens it my turn?

the reason i'm writing this today is because of my recent experience. i don't think any of my friends knew about it until recently when it's all just too much to handle. get this, the last time he and I met was in 2006. it's been 2 years and finally, i'm getting over him. we weren't really a couple so like the popular Friendster status, 'It's complicated'. but seriously, i didn't think that it could be anything big or serious. i was probably just overwhelmed by the attention, not to mention how good-looking he is. i was happy..didn't believe how lucky i was to have met him. presentable, polite, quite rich too. he even dedicated the song Only One by Yellowcard to me and made sure that it's the ringtone for whenever he calls. i couldn't wait to show him off to my friends but just as i was about to, i found out what a player he really is.

the thing that i don't get is, why me? a player in my definition should be with all those sexy cute girls that they'll want to show off to their friends right? girls that they'll want to take to parties and are proud to be holding hands with. and another thing that i don't get is why it's taken such a long time for me to just get over him. we didn't date much, just endless phone calls. we were not even in a real relationship but i made myself become the 'single but unavailable' girl.

Call me crazy, Call me blind

To still be suffering is stupid after all of this time

it's been too long. so someone sweep me off my feet already! =P

Cry - Rihanna

I'm not the type to get my heart broken

I'm not the type to get upset and cry

'cause I never leave my heart open

Never hurts me to say goodbye

Relationships don't get deep to me

Never got the whole in love thing

And someone can say they love me truly

But at the time it didn't mean a thing

[Chorus:]

My mind is gone, I'm spinning round

And deep inside, my tears I'll drown

I'm losing grip, what's happening

I stray from love, this is how I feel

This time was different

Felt like, I was just a victim

And it cut me like a knife

When you walked out of my life

Now I'm, in this condition

And I've, got all the symptoms

Of a girl with a broken heart

But no matter what you'll never see me cry

Did it happen when we first kissed?

'cause it's hurting me to let it go

Maybe 'cause we spent so much time

And I know that it's no more

I should've never let you hold me baby

Maybe why I'm sad to see us apart

I didn't give to you on purpose

Can't figure out how you stole my heart

[Chorus]

How did I get here with you, I'll never know

I never meant to let it get so, personal

After all I tried to do, stay away from loving you

I'm broken hearted, I can't let you know

And I won't let it show

You won't see me cry

This time was different

Felt like, I was just a victim

And it cut me like a knife

When you walked out of my life

Now I'm, in this condition

And I've, got all the symptoms

Of a girl with a broken heart

But no matter what you'll never see me cry

All my life...

at the mention of Twilight, i'm pretty sure that it you're a girl you'll most probably squeal with delight! first thing that will come to mind is, ofcourse the heartbreakingly romantic and extremely good looking Edward Cullen. (yeah sure, super cute, has immortality in his hands and oh, did i mention filthy rich? who in her right mind will not drool?) and second, the movie will be out in just a few short weeks! (27th November 2008 in Malaysia according to Cinema Online http://www.cinema.com.my/news/news.aspx?search=2008.twilightchoke_2890)

it's interesting how this one word can be such a phenomenon suddenly when stephenie meyer decided to use it as the title of her first book. i mean before this, i wouldn't have even thought of using the word in my essay, let alone utter it in speech. still, the word somehow symbolizes mystery and secrets to me.

if you're a friend of mine then you probably already know of my love for vampires and all the supernatural stuffs. so here's the thing, i'm a big girl and still i can't seem to 'maturify' myself into reading adult novels about culture or politics. i guess it's just part of who i am already but what if one day, my patient asks me what book i'm reading and i say 'a vampire love story'. where's the maturity in that? what patient will want to listen to some deranged vampire-loving doctor? or, i could just shut up and say i don't read....haha that will be a better answer, right?

so twilight is another of my addiction. personally, i think the captivating storyline pretty much makes up for the bad writing. edward is just so 'wow', bella is so 'arggh!', jacob is really 'aww~' but sometimes 'eugh!'. so i read it for my self satisfaction..following Bella and Edward's journey. though i'm all for Bells and Edward, mind you i'm actually on Team Jacob! but that's another story..possibly and maybe another entry. laters!~

Hello!

helloo...
so here's my first entry. greetings to you, reader who has 'fortunately' come across my blog. i always said that i will NEVER have a blog or post my thoughts online. what use is it to you what's on my mind..? but hey, it's a trend and also, i find that it's the easiest and fastest way for gossip to spread. i'm always the last to know of the latest happenings and events, kinda sucks sometimes.
okay back to me. so here i am, on my comfy mattress at P9 Putrajaya, writing nothing of significance whatsoever. seriously. xoxo~
