Long Read - What's Up...?!

First of all, let's start with the song I'm currently obsessed with: Angin Syurga by Misha Omar



Okay this isn't exactly a new song actually but I love the words and the music video. Nazim is quite handsome too!

How I came across this song? As usual I was googling and contemplating which drama to watch since I've finished with Love You Mr Arrogant.

Initially I had decided on Jodoh Itu Milik Kita but the attraction wasn't that strong as Sebenarnya Saya Isteri Dia and Love You Mr Arrogant.

So I was deciding and contemplating and I came across Cinta Jannah. Watched a few short clips and I was keen to watch the drama. Seems like a good one and most reviews say it is a good one.

Back to Angin Syurga. This song is the theme song for Cinta Jannah so of course I had to google it and that's how I got hooked. The level of obsession: I can listen to this song alone for 4-5 times on loop!


Currently I've been watching Cinta Jannah till episode 10. 14 more episodes to go!

A little side notes for Cinta Jannah:

- Aeril Zafrel the main actor of this drama reminds me of Norman Hakim and Iqram. I prefer him in serious mode than when he's smiling or laughing.
- Nelydia Senrose. She's cute! Oh and she's the younger sister (I think) of Uqasha the girl who acted as Rania in Sebenarnya Saya Isteri Dia. The both look like twins!

I think I did write in my previous post that I got into reading again because if SSID, did I?
Anyways, if I hadn't yes I'm kind of got hook back into reading and watching Malay drama all because of SSID, which is good and is a positive thing so no complains :)

I'm into reading novels that has been adapted into drama serials. The latest novel I've finished reading is Adam dan Hawa. Drama seems good but it's 80 episodes long!!

Maybe after I've finished Cinta Jannah and Jodoh Itu Milik Kita I'll start watching Adam dan Hawa.




I just turn 25 recently!! Quarter century old yeah!!

A little cottage house in Changi Airport. So random! Hahaha!!


Till I feel the need or urge to blog again!

Long Read - Love You Mr Arrogant

Firstly, I think I need to give some credits to the recent drama that I was obsessed, Sebenarnya Dia Isteri Dia (SSID).

Why? Because I'm now kind of hooked to watching drama and reading novels back because of SSID. Not any kind of drama but drama that is being adapted based from a novel.

Googling SSID and the actors/actresses, I came across Love You Mr Arrogant (LYMA). That brother in SSID that was bad and became good, Azlee Khairi is the main actor of LYMA. I thought this looked good and gave it a try. And I never regretted it.


Similar storyline with SSID, LYMA revolves around Mr Arrogant, Irham and Zara the girl he met and forced to marry him. And so the episodes of love after marriage starts, with the mother-in-law hating on Zara, possessive ex-girlfriend, best friends, bromance and that makes one good drama to watch. It's more sad and has a mature feeling to it compared to SSID. I believe it's because in SSID it involves a 21 years old guy marrying a 25 years old lady while in LYMA the guy is hinted to be older than the wife though it was never stated clearly (not that I remember any of the episode mentioning Irham's age).

As I was catching up with the episodes, I realised it was being played concurrently on TV3 Malaysia. The drama has recently ended (happy ending yay!) and from the review tweets I've been reading, LYMA is one huge success!! Congrats!!


Some pointers/recollections from Love You Mr Arrogant from my point of view:

- I really really Love You Mr Arrogant! Hehehe!! Azlee Khairi reminds me so much of Remy Ishak and sometimes Rusdy Ramli. Read about him yesterday and no they are not related at all.

- Zara, her patience is amazing. I doubt I can be that calm and filial if I was to be in her shoes. Even after all the eveil doing from people who hates her for no reason, she kept quiet and doesn't retaliate. Stupid you might say and I would say the same too. But one particular scene and dialogue said made me rethink her character. What she said is, "Saya dibesarkan untuk kenal halal haram."



- Hadry. Irham's cousin & best friend. You can sense there's competition between the two of them but somehow they always turn to each other for help. Bromance!! Hadry in real life is Keith Foo, Malaysian actor who acted in several Sinetron before. Ooh and his new drama is The Wedding Breaker & Singapore's Hisyam Hamid is also in that drama. The new drama I will be watching & I wanna find that novel in the library soon!


To summarise, Love You Mr Arrogant is an all rounder drama that has now entered into the list of drama I love & don't mind to watch over and over again. Nur Kasih & Sebenarnya Saya Isteri Dia are also in the list by the way :)

Next drama I want to watch will be Jodoh Itu Milik Kita. Let's see if I will be hooked to this drama like I was to SSID and LYMA.
