Journey to the West: My Childhood, An Unforgettable Classic

The first adaptation of Journey to the West that I had ever watched was the 1996 TVB's show starring Dicky Cheung as the famous Monkey King. I was about 10 to 11 years old and the show was running on NTV7, airing both seasons in a row, in which Benny Chan portrayed Sun Wukong for the second season. This is one of those unforgettable shows from my childhood that has quite a nostalgic effect on me. Even right now, at the age of 22, I'm still a huge fan of this epic Chinese classical novel that I keep tab of every news about remakes on the shows. Of course there are many remakes, and it is not possible for me to have watched or include everything in this post. So, I'll just show you the ones I've already watched, or watching, and some I wanted to get my hands on in the future. (Note: list not according to years) I've already watched: 1. TVB's Adaptation 1996's Journey to the West 1998's Journey to the West These were the sh...

Di Sebalik Dinara by Dayang Noor

Yes, this is a Malay book, but I am still going to review it in English because I CAN. Di Sebalik Dinara is a Malay sci-fi fiction that is also a part of Form 4 Bahasa Melayu komsas reading. I am not a Bahasa Melayu expert and have zero experience in the subject teaching. But as a teacher, you just need to be flexible and improve your inconveniences. That was why I made this Saturday's mission to finish this 227 page book, in order to understand the story, know the characters, the plot, theme, settings and everything else so I could discuss and teach it to my students. At first, I was really glad that the literature component for this year was not some cliched Malay, Chinese, and Indian friendship themed story in a simple kampong vs city lifestyle morality setting. God I'm so tired of that crap. My kids are creative and they deserved better. That was why I was elated with this book since it was not always you get to find a Malay sci-fi fiction as a high school readi...

Asrama by Muhammad Fatrim

Asrama is the story about Dahlia, who transferred from her high prestige high school into a not-so-high-prestige high school and then lived in dormitory (asrama). There she made some friends and also some enemies, and also there are some scary stuffs going on. And that was it. That was all there is. If you thought there was going to be some interesting twist you would be sorely disappointed. I could not begin to express the disappointment I felt the instant I finished this book. Everything- and I mean EVERYTHING; every cliche, every horror scenes, everything was already done over and over and over and over again. Let's start with the characters. All I can say was that the good girls had OK personalities while the bad girls were stereotypical bitches. But all of them were so forgettable I don't even care if they died agonizingly in the book. The main character, Dahlia, was OK; she has personalities but she didn't create a lasting impression on me. As usual ...
