Film with a Huge Heart

(Commentary is posted on 19 April, 2008. My apology as my internet connection went down after I posted the photo).

Finally The Kite Runner movie has reached our shore!! I have read the book and also rave reviews on many blogs about the movie. After a long wait, it is now shown on cinemas in Malaysia. My only concern now is would our Censorship Board do a drastic chop, chop, chop on the movie. I have better wait for comments from others who have seen the movie at our local cinema before I catch it. Otherwise, I gotta continue my wait for the DVD to be on sale. (Sigh!! More waiting to do, then!)

Women Power

In today's Sun paper, Women Power was the highlight of its front page! It's quoted that the swearing ceremony for the new Selangor's executive council was "especially memorable as never before have so many women been given seats in a state exco".

As a woman residing in the state of Selangor, I am really proud that these women are being elected to lead in our society. I feel blessed to be born in a country where women are not being discriminated for their gender (Especially so, when I read about the plight of Saudi Arabian women in the book, Daughters of Arabia). I hope they will continue to make us proud by performing their roles and responsibilities to the best!
