It was a random decision to watch this movie, and without much expectation to be honest, since in my mind at that moment, it would be yet another "typical Malay love drama". But I was proven wrong. The efforts that Nik Amir Mustapha and his team had taken to produce this film can be felt just by enjoying this film.

Yes, this love tale isn't new. The idea isn't 100% fresh. But having the "Malaysian colours and flavours" in crafting this "expected" storyline somehow makes it "different" and worthy of praise. The quality of the script, casting and shots is indeed commendable. It does give you "goosebumps" that this film is indeed made by Malaysians.

I do wish it was slightly longer. Ironically, some parts seem draggy but at the same time you could feel like the film ends rather abruptly. There are of course weaknesses here and there but on the whole, it's a love story that not only touches your heart but opens up your mind on various issues especially those concerning family and relationships.

Malaysians should go watch this movie. Support!

After a while not on stage, Trevor returns for his latest Netflix special, more like an inspirational speaker than a comedian. Despite some repetitive lines from his previous specials or even episodes of The Daily Show, Trevor couldn't really find "fresh" connections to all his jokes. It's not hard to detect some "exhausted" lines being recycled in this special. Even the audience's response wasn't that good. It's either we wished too hard, or we were putting a greater expectation after not seeing him on stage for 2 years.

A good warm up for him I guess, but hoping to see better ones soon. Keep it up Trevor!
