the malay chronicles: bloodlines

finally i made it to the cinema to watch hikayat merong mahawangsa. quite hard to get the ticket cause most houses have it sold out. honestly, this is the best malay movie that i've ever watched so far. epic and poetic. the story revolves when the rome empire and china han dynasty want to be united through marriage of their prince and princess. prince marcus and princess meng li have to marry at the golden land, a land with no king. and the journey begin when marcus discovered merong mahawangsa in goa, india to lead his convoy to the golden land to meet his bride. but they have to face the garuda who want to ruin the marriage.


yeahh it is an interesting movie to watch. the graphic, storyline, and music make it more happening. one thing i'll always remember is this pantun.

    ''sampai masa tibanya waktu, redup hati kaum berdua,
       bila dua jasad bersatu, nikmat dunia dirasa bersama...''

a mere thinking would say this pantun is talking about love between man and woman. but i was wrong because the meaning is actually about...............tengok sendiri lahhh..baru paham..hahahaha

p/s: suka sangat tengok princess meng li hua
