Last weekend my wife and I brought our family to the cinema. Nothing special about that. However, the selection of the movie was something else. Instead of watching one of the string of children's movies available at TGV (it's the holiday season), at the very last minute I opted for a Malay movie. It's a poorly advertised half-comedy depicting the rock era of the mid eighties, but somehow it caught my attention.

The kids stared at the tickets half-heartedly, hardly able to conceal their disappointment. They couldn't for the life of them fathom why I chose to watch that particular movie instead of other 'high quality' Hollywood movies such as The Chronicles of Narnia .
