Have you caught Jack Neo's latest movie, "We Not Naughty"? Man!! It's a must watch! Thanks to the guys in Nuffnang, Jacklyn and I got to watch the movie together with the cast on Thursday!! It was also a first time, well at least for me, that people actually gave a roaring applause at the end of the movie. Alright, let me bring you back in time and tell you what we did before the movie screening before I share what I learned from "We Not Naughty".
I beg your pardon, but I only remember that I had Pumpkin soup... I forgot the exact name of the dish as well as the name of the restaurant. But fortunately, the movie is still as fresh in my head and I better blog about it before further memory lost!!

A epic photo of the cast. I was kinda excited so this was the best I could capture in the dark cinema. But looks artistic, doesn't it?

What I learned from the movie?
1. To love the unlovable - - - There are people in your life that are annoying or not easy to get along with. Not everyone will wanna play along with your rules. But like in the movie, CK, the lecturer, was persistent and very willing to help his students. It was hilarious to see a lecturer acting in that manner (the person sitting beside me in the theatre had to bear with my ear-deafening laughter), but at the same time it his same actions that touched my heart. Everyone yearns for affirmation /compliments and appreciative words. Be generous in appreciating others and don't wait too long to say, "I LOVE YOU". (guess that's hard for Asians to be open with our feelings eh? yet everyone longs and needs it every one and then.)
2. Family - - - Every family is not perfect and has its own dysfunctions. And really, a unhappy family can't communicate. But despite everything, they will be always by your side, through thick and thin. I tried my best to hold my tears but failed to do so. (I bet Jacklyn didn't know that!!!) The part where Wei Jie (Shawn Lee) buys somethings special for his sister. Awwwww...... (shall not spoil the movie for you!!)
3. Stay Positive - - - I like how the movie ended, with "it's (THE END) that matters". With a positive attitude, no dream is impossible to reach!!!
There were stuff like Youtube, Blog, language barriers etc. that I can identify with in the movie. At certain parts of the movie, you can't help but think about someone you know or even shamelessly know it in your gut that it was SO YOU!!!
