Di bawah lindungan ka'bah (Under the protection of ka'bah)

Due to hectic schedule,it's been a long time since the last post in this blog.

This time,it's about a movie which i've seen on Astro.Titled 'Di bawah lindungan Ka'bah' (Under the protection of Ka'bah),this film was adapted from the novel of the same title,written by renowned Muslim Scholar in Southeast Asia (Indonesia,Malaysia,Singapore & Brunei Darussalam),Professor Dr.Hamka (real name : Haji Abdul Malik Karim Amrullah) (B.1908-D.1981).

The film was made in 2011,with its main cast:

Laudya Cynthia Bella : Zainab
Herjunot Ali : Hamid
Didi Petet : Haji Ja'far (Zainab's father)
Widyawati : Nyonya Ja'far (Zainab's mother)
Jenny Rachman as Hamid's mother.

2011 Theatrical Poster

Previously,there was a film with the same title,made in 1981,with Cok Simbara,Camelia Malik and Mutiara Sani as the cast.However,there are criticism that the 2011 remake was way off from the 1981 film,and also the novel itself.The 1981 film was mostly based on the Minangkabau struggle against the Dutch colonial forces,while the 2011 film was based on a story of a 2 person,liking each other,but unable to marry due to social differences.

On 8th of April (Sunday),a Youth carnival was organized by Sibu Youth Association (SYA),where the carnival was officiated by YB Dr.Annuar Rapaee,Member of Sarawak State Assembly for N.49 Nangka.

Latest addition to my collection

Time to update my blog again,since my last post here.

This time,i would like to share with you guys my latest models which I've just bought. The models are:

* KLM B777-300ER by Phoenix (Scale 1:400; for my 26th Birthday)
* AirAsia Airbus A320-200 "Tun M"
* AirAsia X Airbus A330-300

Firstly,the KLM B777-300ER model. The B777-300ER was delivered new to KLM on 7th of February,2011 and it was named "Yakushima",after the Yakushima Island,which  forms the Kirishima-Yaku National Park, a World Heritage Site declared in 1993, in Kyushu,Kagoshima Prefecture,Japan.

Below are the photo of the model.

Secondly,the AirAsia Airbus A320-200 in "Tun M" livery.The plane (9M-AFO) was the 50th plane delivered to AirAsia,and before it dons this livery,it wears "50 Planes and Growing" sticker.Afterwards,AirAsia painted the plane in this stunning livery to honor the 4th Prime Minister of Malaysia,Tun Dr.Mahathir Mohamad,who was in the office from 1981 to 2003.

The image on the box; Simply stunning.

Risesoon did a pretty good job on the details on this model.

This model came with landing gears and stand as well.

Third and lastly,the AirAsia X Airbus A330-300 in 1:200 scale,also produced by Risesoon.

The plane,christened "Xuberance" was the 1st A330-300 delivered to AirAsia X. There are 2 versions of this model: the ordinary version and corporate version.

The model itself is not equipped with landing gear,however,for the Corporate version,landing gears were equipped,and instead of plastic stand,wooden stand was used instead.
