Oz The Great & Powerful (2013)


Oscar 'Oz' Diggs was only a travelling circus magician with never-change and cheap tricks, poor, womanizing and cheater. When a strong circus man wanted to kill him as he knew Oz flirted with his wife, Oz escaped with his hot air balloon. But the balloon was sucked by huge tornado and Oz prayed he would be good man if he's allowed to live and the tornado brought him to Land of Oz. There he met there witches: siblings Theodora and Enora, and Glinda. Theodora was beautiful yet naive who then falling in love with him easily. Evanora was actually the wicked witch but spread rumor that it was Glinda and manipulated Theodora's jealousy to make her against Oz.

Every people except Glinda in Emerald City believed Oz was the promised wizard who would come to save the land from the wicked witch who had killed The King of Oz. Glinda knew how did Oz actually but she had only him to be the spirit for her people; the promised wizard had come.

What a sucky movie! I found nothing special from it except the Disney's typical breathtaking imagination sceneries, cute stuffs and unthinkable creatures. Not much different from mostly Black VS White storyline. This film bored me very much but I've started it so I must see the 'The End' appeared

Java Heat (2013)


Hashim, a detective from the unity of Densus 88 (Datasemen Khusus/ Special Detachment 88) tried to uncover the incidence of suicide bomb that occured on a charity party where The Sultana was killed. 

Jake Travers, one of the suicide bob survivors was interogated because he seen talking to The Sultana before the bomb exploded. Jake claimed he was an assistant of foreign teacher and just admired The Sultana's beauty.

When the police van was attacked on the way to investigate the bomb location, Jake helped Hashim and he showed an ability of holding a gun that was not likely owned by someone working as an assistant of teacher. It made Hashim suspected him more.

 Hashim accepted Jake's offer to cooperate. The Sultana was still alive and Hashim's family was kidnapped by someone who's responsible for all. 
I think they should choose other actor to role The Sultan. Rudy Wowor was the best choice for Mayor Van Gaartner on Darah Garuda (Blood of Eagles) but for Java Heat, Conor Allyn supposed to find a man with strong Javanese visage to be The Sultan.

The Conjuring (2013)

Conjuring poster.jpg

Caroline and Roger Perron moved into a dilapidated old farmhouse along with their five daughters and their dog Sadie. Everybody was happy entering their new house but Sadie didn't want to join its masters and looked like worrying on something very much. In the next morning, so many odd occurrences started to emerge. Sadie found lying died outside the house, the clock used to stop in 3.07, one of the daughters found a way to a cellar and the other girl saw a spirit said she wanted the Perron family to die.

Caroline contacted a couple of paranormal investigators and they found the house maybe plagued by devil and need the exorcism. The house's history revealed. It's belonged to a witch who sacrificed her children to the devil and cursed all who would take her land before suicide.
 The devil pervaded all mothers who moved into the house to kill their children.

Watched the movie last night with sister, Evi and Melda. If you're a craven like me, this movie is too scary to watch. My face liked being scuffed because I repeatedly covered it with my palm hands and just let my eyes watched the blur screen only. Felt relieved when I could passed the devil-appeared part . Not to mention I had blown because of hiding under my neck tee. Lol

But for Melda, the horror movie junkie, The Conjuring was only a normal one. She even said that she was disappointed as it's not as scary as many people said on social media, exaggeratedly. In one scene, she was shocked because of something suddenly-appear but in a very little way. Overall, according to her, like a food, this movie is a so so.

إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعونَ

'Surely we belong to God and to Him shall we return'


not because of the less efficacious medicines,
not because of the stopped efforts,
we love,
but God's love is much greater.

August 27th, 2013

Miss my always-nags Mommy and Dad's dorky jokes. It's been 2 nights for them to stay in the hospital along with Tigan, Mami and others to accompany my Mama who was treated in ICU room and need the dialysis 
 In Karonese, Mama means uncle, Mami means aunt and Tigan is grandma.
If only her mom allowed Chang to sleep just for this night here, maybe there will be such a full of laughter night. But she didn't get the permission though it's related to her deadline she asked me to help 

Had some heavy snacks last afternoon with Melda and Evi. This roadside stall had been well known for its Laksa since I was a little girl. I used to think it belonged to Chinese because they were the most buyers. No offense 


Melda ordered laksa. This girl has stayed in Lampung for so long, maybe. That's why she's curious about this dish and guessed the colour was green . It's just a rice noodle with soto and its complement; shredded chicken meat, bean sprouts, celery, fried onions and traditional crackers.



My order, ketoprak. Curly instant noodle with pecal sauce, fried tofu and cucumber slices. And rujak for Evi. The seller (Evi's friend) didn't know the rujak would be served to her, the spicy enthusiast, that's why the rujak came in sweetish taste.


This stall had been our favourite afternoon hangout spot to have yummy food with very affordable price

Girls' Day Out

Met my bestie Fani yesterday in PMF and as usual, it's not her if she's not late . Actually the first plan was we would visit Tjong A Fie Mansion but, next meet maybe. It's not because of her promise to treat me Pizza for lunch but, this girl had been too often to follow my will and now, my turn to follow hers. She wanted Pizza though she asked me first if I wanted to have lunch at my forever-favourite Es Teler 77. No, I preferred Pizza because it's more pricey. haha

I'm sure it's because of my starving. I tasted the beef fettuccine was so good. I'm not really into this kind of Italian food but yesterday it tasted so yummy and the Pizza, I didn't feel too early satiety as usual I ate it. Hunger was the best situation to enjoy some foods till the fullest, till the end 

Pardon my traditional taste. 
Somehow, this fettuccine looked like fried kwetiau very much 

Tried some shoes and I found two pairs which had been my favourite but canceled to buy them. The first one was too pricey. Even after the discount, it's still too pricey to me . Money money money come to Mama so I can shop without thinking so much about the price. haha. And the second, it's Fani's choice. So lovable with affordable price. But there was no size for my feet .

Entered more than 6 shoe stores, wishing I could find a pair of shoes which at least had a slight resemblance with the last one but the result was a zonk. Dramatically I said, "Oh. Now I know what broken hearted is. No matter how many choices can be found out there, the first one won't be replaceable" Fani: "So deep". Lol... No matter what, yesterday was a good time for us.

This girl is so lovely

Not-so Hilarious Independence Day Celebration

I know it's too late to post about Independence Day now, but late is better than not at all. Years back, Independence Day fallen on Ramadhan fasting month for 3 years in a row and for those times, there were no any celebration which always be fulfilled by physic activities, competitions and of course the foody time. And I saw for this year celebration, people look like not so enthusiast to welcome it. I found there were still some houses didn't plug the national flagpole in their front yard and very few people put the national flag on their vehicles. Not blaming the fasting month, okay .

Our neighborhoods always held the Day in the wide lawn owned by Alwashliyah and for this year, we just used the ground front yard because of the least number of games and participants . Oh, Melda and me joined the Cracker Eating Competition. We joined the Mother Class because there was no class for teenagers; we were not teenager anymore, though. I'm the winner.. I'm the winner.. From the last.. Lol. Seriously I was in the last position. haha. Scolded by one of the committees due to our not-serious behave. I disturbed Mel's cracker and she revenged. hahaha.
