Happy Feet

**swiping off the dust of this blog**

Hello there...

I've been not busy lately... that's why i've no idea on what kind of interesting stuff that's worth sharing with u guys. My great ideas only came when i'm busy as hell or i'm under preassure.

Oh well... after almost 2 years break from Cinema ( since Arrissa was -2month old) I got a chance to break the record. It was a movie day with the client actually, organised by my department, where TM's customer's got chance to bring their family to watch this movie and its all paid for. So i took Arissa to watch ...."Happy Feet" . So its kindda first movie experience for her.. I'm a bit worried if she started to act out during the movie and disturbing others... It would be embrassing won't it? Since the whole theather is booked by TM .. who cares?

So we got the back seat... free popcorn and coke...Then the light went off as the movie started... A few kids started crying... nasib baik Arissa was kindda cool with it... with her tiny little hand reaching for the pop corn box , she's concentrating on the big screen.. I wonder whats going on in her tiny litte head.

So back to the movie...It was such a cool movie with a very impressive message. I didn't know that it was the dady penguin job to keep the egg warm and waits for it to hatch while the mommy goes on a long march to the water to get food for the baby. Hehehe... it would be nice to see some human daddy does all the pregnancy stuff for a change. Oh and another one... Penguin can really swim fast! and they sing and they dance?? hehee...

But it was the irony of our humanity which was brilliantly portrayed in this movie, about how we must follows what is right in our culture and society. To be different than the norm would mean you're an outcast and be frowned upon. That what happens to Mumble . Just like when i'm i n boarding school... where we has to endure 1 week of orientation with our seniors. For juniors who can sing... you're ok.. you'll be the favourite amongs the seniors. But for juniors like me.. who only know the necessary songs like Negaraku.. bintang seni and barely sings it well.. we were forced to do other stuff.. which i can no longer remember.

But my favourite scene is still the penguins doing the 'boogie wanderland' its groovy babey! Who know watching fat penguins dances to the boogie tunes would be a sight worth watching.

On the last note.. i guess what makes this movie different that what our Malaysian film makers are serving us , is that the really simple formula of an outcast hero goes on a world saving journey (just like any other movie) but the way it manages to touch on the impact of humans on the environment, our tendency to fear and blames others for anything that goes wrong in our society and blends it beautifully with the great tune of the past. This is what makes Happy Feet great.

Perhaps in our next trip to the Zoo, we'll stop and observe the penguins and think whey are seems so dazed when they had everything they needed...

By the way... Arissa dozed off half way through the movie...
