Captain Philips (2013)

Tuesday, February 28, 2023


Hi all. I'm in awe with this movie. The pirates really did a good job - i was completely scared of them. It made me googled them because i wanna see them without the pirates faces on especially the head pirate (Abduwali Muse) haha and the movie was his debut. The casts were exceptional! Highly recommended. Film genre is thriller. 


He made his acting debut as Somali pirate Abduwali Muse in the biographical drama film Captain Phillips, which earned him a British Academy Film Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role, along with Academy Award, Golden Globe Award, and Screen Actors Guild Award nomination. 


He really deserved it; he's so scary and real in the film. 



One funny thing was when i realised Capt. Philips played by Tom Hanks haha adoi tak perasan a.k.a Forrest Gump (run, Forrest run!)


Tom Hanks & the real Captain Philips


I downloaded the movie only for one reason - i thought it was an aviation story, by the name Captain. And then when the movie progressed, i was like .. wait, where's the plane.. haha.. it was the captain of a ship by the way 


Towards the ending, when it gets more intense and when you know the hero will be safe and sound and there's nothing to worry about and how it is still a story and the hero will not die; it calmed your nerves  a bit, knowing Capt. Philips will be safe. 




But one thing i didnt know and only knew after watching the after credits - when the movie finished - 'TWAS BASED ON A TRUE STORY.


Whattttt? That shocked me for real. 


And increased my respect to everyone involved immensely. Captain Philips actually lived to tell the story. 




Bye for now.

Assalamualaikum everyone. 



We went to Kuala Selangar for a short vacay - at the end of 2021/2023 session. It was long planned, only that many of us weren't available to join. The search for suitable locations also took some time, we even booked another one in Sepang but cancelled and at last - we found one at Taman Gaya Merak, Kuala Selangor. We assured each other - it's okay, we really have to proceed with this one although with the small number of attendance; 'twas supposed to be family day program. 


There's not much of program itinerary considering that all of us are working and we just do as best as we could haha in the short span of planning - we were all occupied with the AGM preparation the week before.

7.30 am bought breakfast at a nearby warung. We three ate there and tapau for the rest. Nasi lemak + roti canai kosong + roti canai telur + milo ais + teh ais + nasi goreng for the kids 


The warung was full house and i was so glad they have roti canai kuah kari :D







10.30 am : Bukit Malawati trip. Some of us went earlier to purchase the tickets for all. I think we were there for about 1.5 hours. What's the attraction there? Monkey feeding + tram + lighthouse + museum. 


Not bad, the entrance fee is cheap and affordable.

6.45 pm : arrived at Aroma Ikan Bakar, Jeram for dinner 


we actually waited more than an hour for the food -  and when the next table got theirs but arrived later than our group - asked the staff and they actually missed our order ugh :0


we ordered nasi putih + tomyam + ikan siakap masak 3 rasa + masak stim + one more + sotong celup tepung + udang celup tepung + kerang bakar 






my favourite : udang + sotong celup tepung. sedapnya...


I arrived home around 10 pm ; alhamdulillah for the journey :)
