Tentang Dhia... Best Drama Series of 2011

You know, I dont usually go over the heels crazy over a Malay drama. And especially if it's episodic. I tend to lose interest after watching a few episodes.

But this drama made me its ardent fan. Not just because there's Adi Putra, who happens to be my favourite actor. But the whole thing, the actors, the characters, the storyline. All made up into a wonderful treat to watch.

What an amazing ending to a wonderful story. A marriage life marred with interferences of a scheming mother-in-law who goes to the extent of engaging a bomoh to spoil the relation between husband and wife. A love being tested with accusations of unfaithfulness. And a love that stands so strong that even death couldn't separate them.


I admit I cried my eyes out watching the last episode. It's the last final moment, just a few minutes before the credits roll out, it took me by surprise and I couldnt hold the tears anymore. Bravo. Even when I was watching Ombak Rindu, I didnt cry this much. Although Tentang Dhia and Ombak Rindu has lots of similarities.

Tentang Dhia. To me, the best drama of 2011. Wonderful acting. Engaging storyline. And a beautiful ending.

Enjoy the pictures and the clips.

I have the links to all the episodes. I think I will rewatch them a lot more times. There's magic in every scene.

I will miss Tentang Dhia now that it's over.

Ilal Liqaa...!

dreams are made of these...

the mornings i wake up from sleep were never as special as that day when i dreamt of you. seriously, i was cursing the alarm on my hp when it sounded. it was a really special dream. you were here, wearing yellow... and jeans... and smelling real nice... you were joking with me like always... and trying to make me angry... and i will eventually be angry, only for you to coax me till i smile... like you do always since the time first i knew you...it felt so real, i didnt want to wake up from sleep... haissss... when will that day be a reality, i wonder...

and then i dreamt of you telling me a date. i dont remember what that date was for. i heard it in a voice, presumably your voice, which i've never heard in real life... 22 May 2012. I checked the calendar, it's a Tuesday. What would that Tuesday bring to me, I wonder...

And in the end, I have to pull myself to the real world and think rationally. Those are dreams, dreams are playgrounds for emotions... I must have been thinking so much about you... Till I let you into my dreams... The more I try to pull myself away from all these, the more Im being sucked in. It's like quicksand. Pulling me in deeper and deeper.

And the question you asked me yesterday, it took me back by surprise a bit. But I hope the answer I gave made you a happy person. Like you always say, you want to make me always happy and smiling, I would like to be able to do the same to you.

Till then, my bodyguard. We'll see how this goes... Ashtaqo ilayka even if I talk to you everyday...

Ilal Liqaa'...!

Dust Is My Bed...

Dust is my bed, embraces me and it's my cover now

The sand surrounds me even behind my back
And the grave tells a dankness of my affliction
And the brightness draws a line

Where is my family's love? They sold my loyalty!
And where is my group of friends? They left my brotherhood!
Where is the bliss of money? It's behind my back now
And my name (reputation) where is it shine between praises
This is my end and this is my bed....

And love farewells its longing and my elegizing cried
And the tears went dry after crying
And the universe became narrow and so is my space
And the grave became my ground and sky
This is my end and this is my bed.....

Fear fills my estrangement and sadness is my illness
I expect firmness and I swear it's my cure
And for Allah I pray faithfully, you are my hope
Allah! I desire heaven, to find bliss in it

And for Allah I pray faithfully, you are my hope
Allah! I desire heaven, to find bliss in it.....

Lunar Eclipse 10 December 2011

Captured and editted by yours truly... Nearly 5 hours of staring at the moon via my videocamera and thanks to the 60x zoom, I managed to capture part of the eclipse before the moon went up too high and got hidden by the building... The miracle of Allah, Allahu Akbar... Enjoy the video...!
