Movie Review (Different perspective) - Nice View 2022

So I saw few friends in the same industry (business owners) share a review about this new movie Nice View 2022

Most of them wrote that it s an inspiring movie for most business owners who are facing challenges in this difficult times. 

This time I thought it s the best genre for both me and izzat to watch, since tomorrow is school holiday so no need to rush in the morning.

Just finished watching them, and I cried so hard that my face swell, people might think I had a fight tomorrow. 

Well as for synopsis, (you can Google later). I thought that I can relate most to the main character, jing hou as he is the one who face the ordeals and all. Unfortunately, no I can't relate to him. We are totally not in the same boat. I totally can not relate. He is actually a small business owner who provide phone repairing service. However, he was desperate to get some amount of money to fund his sister's operation. So he decide to venture into a new business. 

Why I cried so hard is that, I don't see myself in him, but what I felt was I see myself in the antagonist character. Well if you are in business, usually we are a risk taker, braver than anyone else, but usually we calculate and assess the risk and find other less riskier solutions. Somehow I felt that there must other ways to find some money to fund his sister's operation. 

What hit me was, when he was unable to pay rent for his new factory for two months, and the landlord say, " everyone has their own problem, by not paying rent I too shall face so many problem, have you considered my problem too???!!"

That's when it hit me. Sometimes I got so angry, that I always muttered this kind of phrases in my own daily monologue. Well some of the phrases sounds like this " yeah, yeah, so you have a problem and the whole world must help you, such and entitled person!"

Sounds bad huh

Well, I ve seen a number of people who make decisions like Jing Hou. Well I don't know the details as in the reason and on. And also I ve seen some people that I know being accused as scammer too (but I don't investigate further). Well maybe they are in their desperate times. We never know. 

I was reflecting, let say Jing Hou is my friend , but maybe not my best ones.I might not lend my money. 

Sometimes I forget that people from different backgrounds make different business judgements. Sometimes I felt angry if they are close and important person to me. 

And some people, they just keep on cycling the bicycle, even when the bicycle is broken, and what they need is to stop and repair the bicycle first (it s an analogy). Well I can't stop the bicycle, because I am cycling mine too, and no I can't yell them and ask them to stop. It's their bicycle and their track.  The most that I can do is to keep an eye on them, and if they fall down, I can give them a ride. (Sometimes syaitan whisper to me ' but who s going to keep an eye on you???)

Astaghfirullahalazim

I felt so bad after watching this movie. It made me ponder, that sometimes Allah grant you health and money, and time , so when you lend them to others and they still can not afford to pay back (eventhough, you felt that when there is a will there is a way, you just always play victim), just give them more time and be kind, as long as you still can manage yours. 

Another part of the movie that made me cried so hard, is that I never see Jing hao lose his temper towards his sister even at the most stressful time (of course it s a movie). It serves as Reminder to me, that being with children, they are innocent, try your best not to scold them but guide them. Usually I lose my temper when i felt too tired and stressed out (why do we feel that? Well maybe because we are too tired) but why we lose our coolness? Because I forget to feel grateful for what I have during that moment. Not that you can not be angry, but it s how you express your anger. 

Insyaallah it s really like a personal tazkirah to me whatching this movie. Thank God I watch it alone, because I definitely do not share the same relation as others. 

Astaghfirullahalazim, may Allah leads us to the right path and guide us and our children and spouses. Ameen

My Perfect Roomate~loneliness

So, alhamdulillah my husband subscribed iqiy so, we can enjoy various movies for free without interruption. 

Well, I just finished watching My Perfect Roomate, a Korean movie.  It s totally not my husband's genre, so he fell asleep even before the movie begins. This time, I just continue watching. It has been so long since a enjoy watching movies and dramas alone on a laptop. Well after being married, I tend to settle with genre that interest both of us. I have to say 'I' instead of 'We' because I think I have wider range of genres that I can enjoy. 

Being in a community pharmacy (ohhh now it s really not a good time thinking about it, because I need to focus on business aspect of it which is not so overwhelming - overwhelming is good~ the humanity aspect of it that keeps me going)

There are so many stories, a real one that I feel that I can share. Sometimes I wish that I can just straight away write a poem, so my readers (chewah) can get the message without being disrespectful towards the real person in my story. 

Back to the movie. It s quite slow movie, but I love the vivid and detail point that they highlight, such as how the meals are cooked, the house is cleaned and all. Okay so the movie is actually a story of a relationship of a lonely old lady who was a nurse in Germany, and now came back to Korea and live alone in her comfortable house. Typical of elderly, not only Koreans, but also Malays, they are very careful in earning and spending money. So she joined a program where a student can stay and pay rent in her house. So Jiwoong ia a very nice, thoughtful, sincere student from Seoul University, is the one who stay with her. Jiwoong is also a lonely young man, raised in an orphanage. So the movie is about them living together, both has trauma in the past, and how they overcome them and finally decide to become a family. 

Loneliness is real. 

There is one lady, who is actually in the same age of mine, used to took care of her sick mother and grandmother. Her whole day was busy from ensuring they have enough supplies of medicines, diapers, proper food that is healthy and tasty, making sure that they don't miss the hospital appointments. Comparing price for their basic healthcare needs. And yes raising her own children too. Her whole days was packed. And now, her children already in secondary school, her mother and grandmother has passed away. And now she is so free. Of course her husband is there too. But, she just feel that it very lonely. She told me, yes we really need to learn to live in lonliness. Somehow I just felt so touched. 

Kadang kadang kesibukan, kelelahan, segala kepayahan itulah Yang membuat Kita hidup. 


Well I have elderly customers too, who love to come and have a long chat with us. Sometimes, the conversation can drag up to almost an hour. I keep reminding myself and my staff that, if talking to us help them to cope with their lonliness, then just hold your breath, cover your 'menguap' underneath your mask. And trust yourself that you have done a good deed. 

Kadang kadang Kita tak tahu kehidupan Kita Di Hari Tua bagaimana. Kita mula mengulang ulang cerita Yang Sama, Dan mereka Yang mendengar berusaha untuk kekal sopan Dan menghormati. 

Kerana itu lah, akhirat itulah Yang abadi. Tiada Rasa bosan, tiada Rasa sunyi, Rasa gembira, seronok, tentang, puas selama lamanya. 

La hawla wala quwwata illabillah
