Slumdog Millionare - 8 Oscars

1st time I saw a kissing scene in an Indian Movie... when is malaysia coming to age?

If you have not watch this movie, you are missing out on a lot.. the concept, plot and storyline is totally brilliant and creative... when friends told me to watch, i thought, its just another film with big names.. but then, iv more and more and even more friends who kept asking me to watch.. i finally got down, watch the film and love it.. hahaha...

what is it all about? go and watch it.. but here is a little summary on the film....

Slumdog Millionaire is the story of Jamal Malik (Patel), an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who is about to experience the biggest day of his life. With the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India¹s "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?"

But when the show breaks for the night, police arrest him on suspicion of cheating; how could a street kid know so much? Desperate to prove his innocence, Jamal tells the story of his life in the slum where he and his brother grew up, of their adventures together on the road, of vicious encounters with local gangs, and of Latika (Pinto), the girl he loved and lost. Each chapter of his story reveals the key to the answer to one of the game show¹s questions.

Each chapter of Jamal¹s increasingly layered story reveals where he learned the answers to the show¹s seemingly impossible quizzes. But one question remains a mystery: what is this young man with no apparent desire for riches really doing on the game show?

When the new day dawns and Jamal returns to answer the final question, the Inspector and sixty million viewers are about to find out.

To the other side of Pasar Malam...

When you talk bout Borneo... its always bout wonders... the Trees r green, The rivers are ... emm... long.... wanted to say clean but.. not all of em are... and the caves are a marvel for sight... and when I was in Europe... when you talk bout Borneo... to all advertisers.. we Borneon are Orang Utans... lol.. just visit all the travel agencies and you will know what I mean... and to all the Europeans.. we are Head Hunters... lol... and sadly too... to every European.. they thought that Malaysian are all Malays... I had a hard time trying to explain the differences of the race.. anyways... they know we r chinese but not china chinese...

so talking bout the marvel of Borneo... here is one for an eye opener...

Maybe to all Borneon, this is a way to capture bugs.. but definitely its my 1st time experience... its found hanging in one of the tent...

Here is a nice picture of how trading is made at the Pasar Malam

Here is a nice picture... a curious young indian girl... wonder whether her mom is buying anything for her...

The all famous Malaysian food.. the satay... the very 1st step... how to get the fire up...

Lots of faning action... not an easy job... these things need skills... :)

Almost there...

Taken after I made a round at the back... But sadly, the satay here is not the best.. sometimes, its not properly cook due to the crowd demand.. like.. too many customer and they started rushing it.. giving out raw meat...

A normal habit of Malaysians too... loitering almost every where...

Here I've capture a sequence of how the trade is made by the side of the road.. while sitted down.

Stuffing the vege into the plastic...

Exchanging of selling item with money

And Caught in the act of trading... but they seemed all right with a guy who is squating down while taking a picture of em...

They practically live here on Friday up till sunday... here is one of em having his takeaway meal.

And having a small baby is not a problem... doesn't stop them from working in the open..

The vegies here are quite reasonable and very fresh if u come at the right time of the day..

Posing for me... i had to take the lit' cute devil... she is so adorable... or he... emm... i totally forgotten to ask the gender of the baby... ugh..

Im not too sure what they are doing with all the stuffing.. but b careful when you buy em.. they may look packed.. but sometimes, its empty inside... very cunningly plan to con Customers.. these ppl are experts...

A long stretch of bananas... all sort of banana can be found here and

The father in action.... not too bad... not every man test it b4 giving it to their babies... :P


its a good run... but i receive a call from home asking me to come home to eat... well, told them im on my way.. but in actual.. since I have to pass by all the stalls.. why not snap while I walk... so I did.... and Its a good harvest.... one more log and the its the end of the Pasar Malam invasion... :P
