Burn After Reading

It's a movie with stylish plot that creates mess out of nothing.
The wonderful thing about the movie is that it doesn't pretend to be a smart movie,
it plainly admits its absurdness and nonsense.

I was struggling to understand the movie for the first 20-30 minutes. I found the early part of the movie to be rather tedious.

But once we get to the part where Brad Pitt talks about their new discovery, a top secret 'shit' that could change his fortune- I knew I was on for a fun ride.

The story is mainly about ordinary people who try to be better and happier folks, using their own ways and means.
And in reality, some people truly go thru crazy and absurd ways just to be better and happier.

ini komedi ga jelas yang butuh sedikit introspeksi buat appreciate plotnya.

journal: a little update

wow I am actually back to this blog. between Apr 27 2018 and now.. what has happened? I officially proposed to my girlfriend (wah.. trust me you gonna miss that word), got married, and.. became a dad. yeah.. all in a matter of less than 2 years. now when you consider the fact that in 2015 I would not have the slightest idea how things would turn out, it just goes to show how life changes in a blink. How is married life? Well.. I am one of those who has pretty pragmatic view when it comes to marriage. I have seen enough to know that relationship is messy. So.. I must say marriage has been way way better than my expectation hah.. For example.. I knew that my wife is a smart woman. I knew some of her shortcoming too.. (and there are some I didn't know till we got married, of course) BUT... here's the big bonus. I didn't know she can be that adorably funny in her own way. Not funny like a standup comedian funny but.. you know.. she makes me laugh. Trust me.

Hmm..

si mahasiswa NTU yg bunuh diri itu denger2 namanya david. sigh.. mgkn final year presssure was too much to him. jadi inget masa2 kerjain final year project, tinggal 3 bulan dan gua maseh blank. untung ngga masuk berita ky dia. life is a funny thing. well since there is a chance that this may not be a simple suicide, lets not assume so. maybe there's a truth behind this. duh.. jd inget kalo di conan trus dia bilank, "ini bukan bunuh diri.. ini adalah kasus pembunuhan!" jadi serasa mao jadi detektip -_-
