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)
 |
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.
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.

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 
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

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.

Les Misérables (2012)
It's the first musical drama film I ever watched. Because it's a musical, 98% of the dialogues are lyrics and I love it. In the beginning, it's mentioned the movie was about the France Revolution but many articles tell people to enjoy it but get the history straight; it isn't about France Revolution. Okay, just leave it to the historians.
Just because of stealing a loaf of bread, Jean Valjean got punished for 5 years in jail and the number raised to 19 years because of several escaping trials. And during the time, he was called 24601. He got his parole but no one wanted his presence and it made him only knew hatred. Then he hided in a cemetery area of a church and a Bishop welcomed him warmly and served him good food.
It's the first time for him treated like a human. But so many valuable stuffs in the church dazzling his eyes and he couldn't stand to not steal them. He got caught by the authority and dragged him back to the Bishop as Valjean said that the stuffs were given by him.

8 years later, he had become a kind hearted factory owner and a pride of the people's Mayor in Montreuil-sur-Mer. But, because he had against the parole law that he should make a report in the rest of his life; he had missed, he became a fugitive.
He could say that he was not 24601 as he was a honorable Mayor. Not to mention there was an innocent man arrested because of being alleged as him. But he didn't want to betray Bishop's trust and confessed he was the fugitive. He asked the Inspector 3 days to save a little girl, a daughter of his former female laborer who had been maligned as a prostitute. She sold her hair and teeth, and finally her body, to redeem her daughter.
A Royal Affair -- (2012)
Just watched the movie with the only sister of mine, three days ago. Oh, just need one night tight sleep to change everything back to its normal condition. Maybe I forget to mention that she threw a cup, till broke in pieces, in the quarrelling night. Lol. It's the main reason why we repeated the same mistake again and again. Too easy to make it up. We shouted, threw things, rude words, even sometimes there were some physical contacts but, just needed a trivial thing to calm it down.
My Sister enlisted A Royal Affair into her notebook's must-see movies list. It's a non-English movie; using Danish maybe. Watching a historical drama movie always drain our heart and mind. The only thing I hate from it is the exaggerated sexual content.
And the rests are really good. Of course the emotions built by the characters, breathtaking sceneries and the beautiful Renaissance gowns. I watched Anna and The King and I saw what make the gown that billow was bamboo arrangement inside the skirt.

It's about Caroline Mathilde who married to Denmark's insane king, Christian VII of Denmark. Christian's deviant behaviors; childish yet womanizing, he regularly visited the whorehouse even took the woman to his room and ignored his queen, gave Caroline a queen just for a status. And then Struensee came into their marriage life. He had been the King's physician and Christian listened to him the most. He loved Struensee like siblings. An affair was inevitable between Caroline and Struensee. Moreover they had the same missions about the rabbles; freed them from the slavery and so many unfair treatments by their masters.
Stuensee took advantage from Christian's trust to him to remodel the cabinet and it's for the rabbles' sake, though. Mathilde gave a birth to a Crown Prince from Christian and a daughter from Stuensee.The insane King was too idiot to save his Queen and best friend. The third party who just thought their business took advantage from the King's stupidity and Caroline's and Stuensee's mistake. Christian had been a Doll King, Stuensee was beheaded and Caroline was exiled.
Watching it till the end made my emotional flutter...

Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters -- (2013)
 |
Do you remember your childhood cartoon movie Hansel & Gretel? The siblings who had been left by their father deep in the forest because of their stepmother's forced. They followed a bird which led them to a gingerbread house with candy window and an old woman lured them with comfort soft bed which made them followed her entering the house, and it turned out the woman was a witch loving to eat kids. Gretel outsmarted her and they could save themselves by pushing the witch's body to the burning oven.
Still love the cartoon but felt ashamed by your older age? Don't worry as the cartoon 'gets older' too. Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters is the childhood version's extended story. After saving themselves from the witch, Hansel & Gretel had been duo-siblings of witch hunters. They could eradicate 'amateur' witches easily till they hired by Augsburg's Mayor to solve children's kidnapping case in the town.
Their hunting ability was strictly tested as they faced a 'pro' witch, Muriel; only 'pro' witches could change their appearances. They must stop the witch's ritual of Blood Moon which needed six young boys and six young girls who born in separated months, January to December, to create potion that would make dark witches impervious to fire. And white witch's heart was needed in the ritual and a fact revealed, Gretel was a white witch followed by other facts that their mother was a grand white witch who burned at the stake because of Muriel's rumor spreading. Muriel made Gretel as her target because her Mom was too strong for Muriel.
I think it becomes a trend for many films released based on the childhood cartoon movie. With its black comedy, this movie was a big no for children due to its sexual content, gore and so many sadistic scenes.

What Happen Today
 |
| holat |
Big family from Dad's side come today to have some silaturrahmi. At the same time Dad asked Pak Tua's help to make holat (Simalungun tribe's typical food; grilled chicken neatly placed on a plate) and nitak (made of mashed rice, palm sugar and ginger). In Simalungun tradition, the two cuisines usually used as a 'tool' to convey any intention and hope, from parents to their children. With their two hands holding the plate and together give it while saying what they hope of what their children will achieve, and the child will accept the plate with his two hands too.
I personally do not believe any tradition like that (never tell it to my parents). I just follow what they want and the only thing I love is the holat. It has a very unique taste. Not just anyone who can make it because too many rules to be done. And for the nitak, we are not allowed to taste it to know if we have got the balance flavor or not. We will get nitak just the way it will be in the end. I asked why and nobody can answer. Lol. They just 'threatened' me that I will get diarrhea if I against the rule. And my aunt said that with no kidding -,-"
Don't judge a book by its cover. I myself feel that picture is so disgusting. But it tastes something you'll never imagine till you really try it. Nyamz!!

Back To 1997
Suddenly want to back to my broken English blogpost like my http://damaniqueen.blogspot.com/ and other blogger friends who also use English had given me more spirit to gain my English ability at least in writing. Find some mistakes in my writing? There will be no hard feeling if you tell me ^,^
Overtook Mom and Kakak to Kampung this morning with Dad and Abang. Then drove Mama to a clinic in the afternoon and found an old year of publication magazine in the receptionist table, Forum Keadilan (Forum of Justice), while waiting the doctor came. I was 7 years in that time and I just remember I was only a second grade elementary schoolgirl. Now I can flashback what important occurrences happened in my childhood; something I never care at that time. Though I can remember some of them.

- Humanistic dialogue for Soeharto's re-run for president
Indonesia was at its worst economic crisis at that time and people blamed him for not being able to control it. So many argumentations about who was the best person who could replace him and late Abdurrahman Wahid, Megawati Soekarno Putri and also our current president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono included in the list.
- New warriors in Bank of Indonesia
The list included Miranda Gultom and that's the start for her to serve as The Deputy of Bank of Indonesia and now she entangles in bribery case for the position. And also Aulia Pohan who is now father-in-law of President Yudhoyono's first son.
- The death of Princess Diana and Mother Theresa
I remember about the Princess but never know about Mother Theresa at that time. But I ever watched a movie about her struggle for the rabbles in India on Metro TV's World Movie. Lady Di was died in a tragic accident with her boyfriend, Dodi Al Fayed, in Paris tunnel on 31 December. And Mother Theresa died adrift just one week from Lady Di's death.
- Titanic's first release
I remember. I and my friends were under my friend's aunty's watch while watching the movie due to the sexual content. We were underage. Lol. Directed by James Cameron, Titanic cost $200 millions (1 trillion rupiah). I can't imagine how much that money is today.
Titanic had been made into more than 20 movies and even a month after the tragedy, Save From The Titanic which acted by them who were the real Titanic tragedy survivors, was released. But Cameron had the different version from the others and don't forget about the budget. Other versions just show about the Titanic only and Cameron made it by adding the forbidden love story between people with high and low status.
Cameron prepared 5 years for observation before started to film it. He dive to see the ruins of the ship. He made the replica of Titanic which was only 10 % smaller than the original and prepared 64 millions litre of water to drown it. To create an authentic ship interior, Cameron built studio covering 16 hectares.
The article guested if Cameron would get best profit from his big ambition with his Titanic or just drown like the real ship which ever dubbed as the unsinkable ship. You can answer it, right?

Black and White
A Treat
Get a simple lunch treat today from Yutri for her acceptance in one of Syari'ah Banks in this country. Beef balls for me, complete chicken noodle for her and two portions of fried rice for Au and Chang. Not forget to get kacang atom for the topping. She will start September by going to Bogor for the short training and as the plan, she will be placed in Tanjung Morawa. Wish her luck!! Hopefully the job will suit her vision and lead her to a bright future 
Today was filled with laugh with the best girls of mine. Sweet jokes with Chang as the target; as always. She would meet with a boy she knew from phone maybe and we tried our best to cancel their meeting. From sabotaging her phone but Au was too worry to type the cancel message to the boy, till Yutri picked up the phone from him and pretended to be Chang saying their meeting was canceled. No one was success. Lol. Till the Maghrib time..
Some Cries
Noni phoned me. Crying said that Mama was sick and this time, she said that he couldn't stand it anymore. Everyone's face changed to be gloomy. Surprisingly they prepared their black clothes into bag. I didn't even dare to ask why they should pack the black clothes. That's way too much but, I prepared mine. Car was used by Abang to take people to Brastagi and there was big jammed everywhere due to Lebaran. Dad decided to go to Kampung by motorcycle but it turned out his blood pressure raised. So danger for him to ride motorcycle in night. Mom is the most worrying and she cried. Avoidably she and Kakak must ride the motorcycle. Hopefully everything is gonna be alright.
