Have you watched crazy rich asians? Did you like the movie? I just watched it today and it was amazing.
hahaha wow you’re the 3rd person to ask me about CRA today??? That’s so weird like someone asked me about the movie irl and in pms today.
but yes I’ve watched it! I thought it was good… but not great haha idk maybe it’s cos I watched it in Malaysia and they censored a lot of stuff so it was a bit like potong stim (that’s slang for buzzkill lmao yeet I’m teaching y'all some singlish/manglish). they censored swear words and cut the kissing scenes short aha i guess it's not too drastic but it was still annoying.
okay anyway honestly the best scene was when Bernard shouts ‘kukujiao’ lmfao they censored that in Malaysia but a bitch can lip read HAHHAHA. I’m joking the best scene was the mahjong scene which was so good & important and it wasn’t in the book! it was specifically curated for the movie. I know not everyone knows how to play but if you do and you were watching that scene, especially with the delivery of the lines and how the game unfolds, it was like… damn…. bc what Rachel did was a real power move. Rachel really told Eleanor wassup with mahjong. seriously what a boss. (you can read up on the scene here.) I think that article is the most digestible one though im sure there are others. not sure if this is mentioned in that article but iirc, Rachel doesn’t pick up any tiles from the discard pile thus her winning hand would be a ‘self-made’ hand which is higher than a winning hand that has been made out of using tiles from the discard pile (which Eleanor’s is because, she ‘pong’-ed super early into the game). I feel like it’s an homage to who she is? Like the struggles she had to go through as an immigrant and etc. She really is a self-made woman, thus the self-made hand… if that makes sense. also anyway real talk tho we all know grandma’s are the best at mahjong and if this scene was real they would’ve been destroyed by the two grandma’s on the table ahhaha.
but ye I have one problem with the movie tho and that was the lack of diversity. lmao I can already see y'all rolling your eyes but you know what idc. Singapore is a diverse country and is one that celebrates that. sure the race relations are deeper than just that but they really couldn’t just… idk more accurately represent Singapore? The only Indians in the movie are security guards and the Malays? idek where they at. (I mean there was Princess Intan... but... I mean...) Anyway thought it would’ve been better if they just had more races there like at the tan hua party or the wedding. still a good movie! but i mean all of the above is just me speaking my mind.
also I know I’m Malaysian and salty™ but like really… half the movie was shot in Malaysia. The young residence (tyersall park?), the bible study house, the mahjong place, rawa island which is already Malaysia lol and they filmed in langkawi instead bc they needed the four seasons for it to look fancy hahahaha. so really when people tell me ‘i loved the movie and i want to visit singapore to see all the sites!!!!’ I always laugh. gotta admit tho gardens by the bay in singapore is siq. gotta love the supertrees hahaha. (bonus: for singaporean humour on CRA watch this ahgahjsdgjas idk if y’all will get it but it’s damn funny to me and cringey at the same time.)

open silver’s version of blue ticking and ig double taps aha (ig double taps is another way to coverline/halus kata a cerrrtain shape eh hahaha) ok sorry i rlly gotta cut out this aspect aha and put on more honour and respect maybe. ok but
saaap hahhaha. kk. May As-Salam be with you :) anddddddd letter received and read. - fidget spinners aka tasbihs been helping me a lottttt ahaha much so I kinda wanted to idk go see and seek if there’s a black/white/pearly grey pearl beaded one that i might gift to you  as a friend/sister in islam at least aha. rlly kinesthetics helps muchhh in ways our minds may sometimes go mindless. but hahahah two thoughts: how will it reach you la. Mail? hahahah. And then I got this pretty cool idea slightly inspired by your blue book project hahah which HM issit someone said they gave up on it.  - aha but yeah its almosttttt likka blue book idea, but instead of just writes, it also includes like, wtv other elses. It’s likka box of trinklets or wtv else. think: a thumbdrive that acts likka mix tapes and tasbih little gift or like attar for reminder and gratitude of the idea of a perfumery companion. Aku rasa aku creative like that ah HAHAHA chey self puji but yeah either it could be a delayed gift box or it could be like a shared PO box hahahah idk.

when hopeless romantic meets hopeless romantic ahaha eee sorry gedik, but ya man ahahah thru my varied friendships from sec sch etc, I’ve been learning the love language of giftinggggg. Like my clique of girls would exchange sweets and notes during vday to each other or like we’d plan each others’ bday bashes and be there for grads etccccc. Gotta learn to love those we have first, before we learn to love the one we’d hope God gifts for us to learn love with. Learn ways to love our parents, our sibs, friends, community. Part gratitude but also part of spreading and practicing the virtue of rahmah and pardon and part silaturrahim and yeah ahah. Reflecting goodness of God.

Quick story time: between my mum and my late dad, hm I’ve always had more clashes with my mum. :”) but over the years with learning about waliwalidayna bil ihsan and allllll that - plus learning from friends about varied love languages (ahahaha I might as well list it here la)( you can google to find out more ok aha i think quite interesting)
Words of Affirmation
Acts of Service
Receiving Gifts.
Quality Time
Physical Touch

I think we first manifest to others what we hope for? idk maybe it’s the theory of projection. (I swear learning psych has shaped much of my thinking but then again maybeeee it’s um just greater awareness) - so yeah from tiffs and clashes with the mumsie growing up, (and a lot of pain that idk haha still healing from) slowly I started with making bday cards, and then gift gifting - usually from trips overseas - or I’d write short notes and letters to accompany the gift (aha sometimes its as simple as a printed photo. sometimes its just like snacks from overseas, sometimes telekung or baju butterfly), and then sometimes its the occasional buying of teh panas for her cuz she likes it and sometimes its being patient with daily calls of what would u like to buy for dinner and sometimes its swallowing the bitter pill to be denied the opportunity of qiyam when Id baaaadly need and have been looking forward to the spiritual uplifting and idk hahah ups and downs and yeah sometimes its dinnz outside at some nice place tgt and sometimes its solat tgt and giving her “air time” to make do’a in malay and sometimes its convos on the sofa after buka so ya lor hahahahah soz this became a me and ibu analysis hahah. fa is still heaaaaaling and learning love and the whole waliwalidayni bil ihsan. :”) masih jauh lagi. - but okiz yez hahahah dah macam off topic kejap.
