Home Alone

First thing first, finals over!
Watched Alone (a horror Thai film) earlier with Wilson, Kim Ming and Rain. It was okay though as usual I have fear for such horror movie. I just can't stop the fear in the suspense and gross face of the ghost. It leaves me uneasy.

Anyway, after watching the Alone, we (or rather I towards the end) watched Home Alone. Its classic. I have always love watching this movie. I wonder how many billionth times have I watched this movie but I still love it. It too was my first ever movie that has to do with Christmas. Yes. This made me remember the beauty of Christmas. This was the movie that made me think and feel that Christmas is a wonderful day with snow falling being the most beautiful scenery. How could I forget the beauty of snow falling being imprinted in my mind when I was young watching this wonderful movie.

Watching Home Alone really brought me back to my peace state of mind after being turmoiled by the Alone. It always had with any other movies. Something about the Christmas songs, beautiful scene of snow fall, and the touching important scenes of family make me feel peace. I love the part especially where Kevin went and look for the so called Santa Claus messenger and then proceed to the church where he had a conversation with the old man neighbor. That scene brings hope to Kevin in protecting his house from being robbed. That sort of feeling of hope is what I feel whenever this scene being played. Furthermore the effects of the carols being sung provide me with this feeling even more. I'm not sure how to describe this in words. It really is just a feeling. Call me weird. I don't mind since this is what I feel. I guess this is what people mean with the word hope during Christmas.

Another note about Home Alone that I'm sure my parents would be very happy to read is that it really brings the word family into my heart. The importance and love for your family. That is what I felt whenever I watch this especially the ending part of the mom finally reached home and saw her son, Kevin in a safe state. And for Kevin, finally seeing her mom during the white Christmas is such a relief to him. It really make my heart sinks during this scene and also the part where the mom said, "I'm desperate." I guess this really brings me back to my senses on the importance of my family to me.

I believe I told a few readers here that my next post (which was supposed to be this one) to be posted in Malay. But since I was talking about an English movie I suppose it would be just right for me to type in English. Maybe I can relate it properly in Malay? Here I go:

"Home Alone" mempunyai suatu keindahan unik yang boleh membuat saya mendapat aman dalam hati dan sanubariku. Aman beerti hatiku tenang seperti tasik biru yang boleh memantulkan rupa langit dengan nyata sekali. Bukan sahaja ketenangan dan keamanan yang boleh ku peroleh tetapi juga makna keluarga. Kadang kala kita lupa erti keluarga yang sebenar dan kepentingannya. Aku kenal kembali makna dan pentingnya keluargaku. Aku percaya yang boleh menyebabkan ini berlaku bukan sahaja jalan cerita filem ini tetapi muzik Hari Natal yang berbentuk koir dan peribadi kanak-kanakku yang terpendam di dalam hatiku. Ini semua memberi makna baru dalam hidupku setiap kali aku menonton filem ini. Nampaknya catatanku juga sampai batasnya. Sudah kian lama aku tidak menaip atau mengarang dalam Bahasa Melayu. Sampai sini sahajalah. . .

PS: My next post would be 100% Malay I'll try my best.
PS2: Say me "nah pet" or whatever, I don't really care or mind. This is what I consider as my own personal space of peace (utopia).
PS3: I'm looking for all the songs in Home Alone. Anyone knows please tell me.
