MOVIE REVIEW - "SHAZAM"


Why "Shazam" is a must-watch superhero movie? Definitely because of its element of humour throughout. At the same time, the plot is more logical than other superhero movies involving deities and demi-gods.

The protagonist is a 15-year old boy who is searching for his mother when he is intentionally left at a fun fair when he is small. He is then chosen by a wizard to inherit the magic power to defeat the evil people and monsters.




Fortunately, I managed to catch the movie and I must say it was worth the time and effort to go watch this. I had to sleep late as the film ended after 12 midnight and it was a school day the next morning. The good thing was that was no queue getting the ticket at all just by walking in.

Hoping for a sequel to the first one. It better be good as we always find the sequel is frequently not as good as the first one.

MY HOMETOWN GASTRONOMIC ADVENTURE - GOING ARAB FOR LUNCH AFTER SCHOOL


A lunch gathering was planned for all the male staff of SMK Dato' Jaafar and we decided to have lunch at an Arab restaurant named DALLAH located at the city centre.


This should be my first time at this restaurant. I must say, I do not visit Arab restaurant that frequent.

should be some kind of appetizer

Since it was done after school, the lunch only started at 3.00 p.m.

a tray of rice for six























There was no formal agenda except one very short speech from the Principal. We all made our way home by 4.00 p.m.

To be able to gather 18 people at one time was already a huge success. Hopefully we could get everyone who belongs to the endangered species in school to join in next time.

THE LAUNCHING OF "LET'S READ FOR 10 MINUTES" CAMPAIGN


A launching event of "Let's Read for 10 Minutes" was held at SK Taman Sri Tebrau today. I had to represent the principal as he had to attend a briefing somewhere else.


I registered at 9.30 a.m. and the VIP only arrived at 11.00 a.m. *sigh*




A welcome dance was presented by the students of the host school, followed by the VIP.


Interestingly, the VIP, YB Tuan Haji Aminolhuda Hassan, the state assemblyman and the Johor Government Exco Member was once a colleague in SMK Taman Universiti.




Then there were more performances presented by the students of SK Taman Sri Tebrau, a story-telling session and action song.






As usual, it was all ended with a lunch treat for the guests.

Every single event has to be launched at different levels here, and most of the time it was done in a grand manner, involving a lot of people, time, energy and money. Whether it would be a success or have a high impact is not that important but as long as there is a launching event, it is considered done.

Hopefully people will start spending 10 minutes of their daily routine with reading. And I will have to take out a book out of the shelf after this.

JAGALCHI - THE MARKET BY THE SEA


23rd MARCH 2019 ~ I loved the Jagalchi Market I spent hours there. This is always possible when I travel solo when there is no need to rush to other touristy spots so I could spend as much time I want at a certain place.




On the other side of the huge market building, is the part facing the ocean. There was a large space built overlooking the ocean so tourists could enjoy the scenic view of the place.








I was there quite early so taking photographs was easy. There were not any people who would photobomb the photos I took. I wonder whether tourists woke up late in Busan.










Even the back facade of the market was beautiful and did not look like or smell like a market at all.
That was they way they did when the market had become a tourist's attraction.














There were also a few sculptures but all the information was written in Korean.




There was this cruise ferry nearby that would take your for a ride that would last for 90 minutes.








There was also a harbour which I think was functioning as the port to receive all the fresh fish and marine lives from the sea.

When you think that was it, wait until you see what I found as I walk away from Jagalchi Market.... in the next post.
