i watched interestin movie today, called The Blossoming of Maximo Oliveros. going in the theatre with super bad seats and not a clue what the movie is about, i assumed from the poster that it was going to be a movie about transexuals and therefore i was looking forward to how the director was going to tackle the issue of gender. But the movie itself centred more on themes such as family and yes love. Maxie's feminity was not only tolerated but appreciated especially in his family as he takes over the role of mother. it was quite light hearted and funny at unexpected times, like when his father wanted to bring him to run away and he was carrying a powerpuff bag. haha... but after the movie i am more than convinced that sufiyan is homophobic as he was squirming through out the movie beside me, and i love the fact that the picture house distributes their tickets, in this cool sleek black mini-envelope..nice :) life's little pleasures!

i am one contented girl today. had a mini break from "work". and spent half the day with family and the other half with sufiyan as we went to check out the Minds Cafe (like finally). went for ina and shirah's Hafla. which gave me a warm fuzzy feeling looking at kids putting an event together for the mosque. i only sat through half of it as i had to rush for tuition, but it was enough to give me stomach cramps from giggling. my mom was making silly comments and seriously giggling more than me. the kids were really cute on stage with their nasyid performance which is when you can normally hear only one person's voice. some super enthusiastic ones belting the nasyid out and other shy ones holding on to their lyrics as they whispered the song. haha..they had a proze presentation also and after receiving their book prizes this primary 1 boy came up to my cousin Nurul and asked;

little boy: what's inside (the present) ? i hope it's an MP3 player.

Nurul: (in disbelief and jokingly) no la..i think i think it's an X box.

little boy: (gives an honestly disappointed face) ala..i have x box already, i want MP3 player.

hehehe..i think it's so cute :)
