Movie to share in the end of 2006 .. Sinking of Japan

Sinking Of Japan " Nippon Chinbotsu "











I get a chance to watch this movie before it was officially shown in cinema. Actually i should say, "read" the movie instead of using "watch" as i don't understand Japanese language much. Anyhow, i still enjoy it. At first, i don't expecting much on this movie. Well, i was wrong.

This movie's storyline is getting from a famous novel by Sakyo Komatsu in year 1973. I was impressed with his imagination. He imagined that Japan will be literally sinked result from the collision of 2 tectonic plates causes the one supporting archipelago pulling down to earth. Due to that, Japan will face Volcano, Earthquake, Tsunami (Tidal Wave), Landslide, and other disaster.

I'm glad and happy with the quality of the movie. It gave me a totally different feel compare with Hollywood's movie. US produced disaster movie - more on emphasizing hero / heroin, love story, stunt and action. On the other hand, this movie - more on the caused of disaster and lesser love story.

The best thing about this movie is, i get a step closer to know about Japan's geography e.g. Kyoto, Tokyo, Nagoya and Hokkaido. And, this is the first time i watched Japanese Movie and my girl friend didn't fall asleep. Haha...

I learned that you will never know what will happenned to you and yours tomorrow. Until it arrive, it will be too late for you to do what you have not done. So, just do what you wished to do now, or share your happiness to others once you have a chance to do so. It will make your life better and you will not regret if the day is arrived.

Last but not least, i think this is the best movie in this last month and last day of year 2006. Hope you will enjoy this movie very much like me too.

Back to Jungle ... Serendah

Sekeping Serendah Retreat ... A place to free yourself from the rapid lifestyle in city and to clear your mind. I'm doubt that you will ask "Anything special there?". Can you imagine that you are shower in open-air style toilet, surrounded by trees, insects, closer to the natural environment? This is the place i'm looking for and i would like to thanks to my girl friend for introducing this wonderful place to me.

Due to "Deeparaya" celebration in Malaysia, it took me almost 3 hours to reach here due to traffic in north-south highway terribily jam. In fact, if travel from Kuala Lumpur, i think it can be shorten to 30-40 minutes. To reach here, i would need to passby Malay residencial area and it will lead you to 2 Orang Asli villages then Voala....i'm here!


^ Path to my sheds & pool...


^ Shed that surrounded by tree


^ Mud Shed ... smaller room which can fit up to 4 person


^ Glass Shed


There are 2 types of sheds : Glass Shed & Mud Shed. I chose Glass Shed as it looks a lot more nicer and highly recommended if you are going in group. The first and only reaction i reached the shed is "wow...Wow...WOW..." What a great design !! I didn't know that there are such wonderful & beautiful open-air shed. It looks like a transperant container within a jungle and you can see almost everything outside the shed, on the other word, there is nothing can be hide. The trees is watching you...always.



^ Place to BBQ


^ Kitchen ... Place to do show your cooking skill


^ It's bed time ..............................


^ Nothing can be hide, including bathroom


Another attraction in Sekeping is the swimming pool. This is a Chlorine-Free pool where the water was directed from waterfall and it was flow into this pool after filtered by the basic pool filtering mechanism. I just can't wait to jump into this pool again. I tried it early in the morning, the water isn't cool and it was very clean and green. I can even heard the nature ochestra played by insects with their very special "instrument". Perhaps, this can be describe as the pool of heaven.

Although There are not much activities around this area but i still enjoy here. And i think this is a good place for me to slow down my step and pay more attention with the things surrounded. I can even notice the tiny ant under my feet. Wow...what a good observation i have !!



^ Path to heaven ............................


^ Yeah, Chlorine-free swimming pool


^ Clean, cold waterfall nearby


Ding, ding, ding ... It's dinner time!! Start the fire, prepare all raw foods and let's burn. Well, my friends and i had brought satay chicken, lamb, marinated chicken wings, marinated prawn, frankfurther (hotdog), Fishball, Prawn ball, sweet patatoes, garlic bread, sweet corns, Otak-Otak ...


^ Food, Food, FOOD ..........

^ Hungry? Grab one.


I'm very much enjoy this trip as it make me feel very peaceful. This is a place where I will come again eventhough it is not that cheap. Hope, in near future, i have another chance to come back to this heaven again.

Middle Eastern Cruisine : Al-Diafah Restoran

Never thought that I can find such six star and unique middle eastern restoran in Sri Petaling, named - Al-Diafah Restoran.

This place is enormous. At the entrance, you can find a lot of huge mirrors on the wall and imported pot & cups in the cabinet along the ladder while walked up to the 1st floor. It was a raining days out there but the restoran itself is quite warm. May be i'm too hungry ... It's time to hunt for some food.

As we sat down, the waiters are getting busy to serve us with weird taste Arabic coffee. It taste like water mixed with minyak angin cap kapak plus a bit bitter. They serve it with sweet dates too. Well, never try never know.

Al Diafah's menu is very user friendly as there are a lot of sample photos of each item in menu i.e. Mendy Chicken Al Diafah Rice, Mendy Lamb Al Diafah Rice, Mandy Chicken Mendy Rice, Al Diafah Salad, Falafel, Tomato cuttle fish soup, etc. I'd ordered BBQ Chicken Al Diafah Rice together with my favourite Tomato cuttle fish soup.

Basically, there are 2 kind of rice served with lamb or chicken : Mendy Rice and Al-Diafah Rice. Al-Diafah rice is kind of yellowish oil rice which is cooked with carrot and raisin and fried onion as topping. Mendy rice, on the other hand, is taste like smoke rice and the colour is whiter. Hah!

But i would say the Falafel is a very special dish which i still don't know the proper way to enjoy this cruisine. This dish is serves with 3 bread (like Roti Nan), french fries, brown cookie-looks-a-like dish and with it's sauce. A bit weird huh ... cookies and bread together. hahah!!

Wonder any special dessert there? No worries. Danny, friend of mine, ordered cream of caramel with 4 slices of green apple as topping. The taste of the caramel is sweet and smooth texture together with sour crispy green apple's slice. Taste funny !! But that's make it special.

I wonder why they didn't serve the lamb and chicken rice with vegetables. Due to the dish itself is very dry, i would suggest them to serve the rice with some vegetables to balance it up. Haha ... may be that's the way how middle east people served.

Hmm .... Overall, I think this is the best arabic restoran around PJ area (may be KL) as u can't find any better middle eastern restoran with these special dish ... especially the lamb.

Adios.
