Spring is coming !!!!

Autumn…… winter…… and now spring is coming since I arrived on last September 2013. I was so excited because this is my first time to experience this kind of season. After a long, damp, grey and cold day, now sunshine and pleasant temperatures made my expectations that spring is getting closer and it will last until May.
  

Obviously, when this season just around the corner there will be few things that might change such as the weather, temperature and environment. In terms of the weather whereby it’ starting to be warmer with sunshine throughout the day.  


All the flowers started to blossom slowly and with many kind of colors. All the parks and gardens around Cardiff especially will be very beautiful with all the flowers including in Bute Park and a park near to my school.


I was being told this season is an ideal time to go out and have fun on the Bay. There will be a ferry service operate from Bute Park to Cardiff Bay. It will travels down to River Taff, pass by Millennium Stadium and around the Mermaid Quay.
                             

However, if you can’t afford to go to Amsterdam to enjoy all tulips you can just go to Royal Horticultural Society’s flower show season which will be held at Bute Park on 19 to 21 April. This show will be organize for three days and it will highlights the flowers that bloom in spring and the best in Welsh horticulture including a variety of different daffodils which is one of the national symbols of Wales.

Enjoy the flower and sun :)

Ariana Rose – The Wedding Breaker

Because of Ariana Rose, I will definitely sitting on my chair and switch on the laptop just to watch my favourite drama. I never miss to watch it from the very first until the last episode.  

At first I have been thinking whether this book is in English or Malay because of the title. But, the truth it is a Malay novel and was being converted into a drama and the original of the masterpiece being written by Evelyn Rose. It was last year which I had a chance to read the novel and never thought that there will be a real drama portraying the story. I was so excited when I knew about it and looking forward to watch it.

Ariana Rose drama has become trending in Malaysia

Original novel 
Below are the list of main actor and actress in this drama:
  • Keith Foo (Tengku Adam)
  • Nur Fathia (Ariana Rose)
  • Tasha Shilla (Tengku Juwita)
  • Nabila Huda (Lyana)
  • Hisyam Hamid (Harith)
  • Arja Lee (Ramzul)
  • Dato’ Jalaluddin Hassan (Dato’ Wan Jusoh)
  • Ziela Jalil (Datin Asra)
  • Mustapha Kamal (Tengku Mukhriz)
  • Liza Abdullah (Tengku Lisdania)

The story started with a tragic scene whereby Ariana Rose had crashed Tengku Adam Kamil’s wedding with Tengku Juwita. It happened when Ariana stopped the wedding by claiming that she’s being pregnant by Tengku Adam. The story keep moving until the climax scene which Ariana was being raped by Tengku Adam because he was really angry and felt that his name and reputation was already being tarnished because of her. He decided to take revenge against Arianna because of the incident. Slowly the story became more interesting when both of them were fell in love without realized it even though Ariana hate Tengku Adam because of him she lost her virgin.

Teaser for the audience

Of course in any drama will definitely have antagonist characters which in this story it were Lyana and Ramzul. At the same time, there were a few other characters which their function are to make this story more real and give impact to the audience. Congratulations to Raja Ahmad Alaudin, director of this drama who successfully compress all the story lines from the novel into 28 awesome episodes.

I really like the story lines because it really romantic, sweet and touched my lovely heart everytime I watched it. In fact the original soundtrack was really good in terms of their lyrics and rhythms which suits the drama. The story lines expanded by each episode which it started to be more interesting as the story nearly approaching to the end. In addition, all the actor and actress were really have a good package which means not only they have the look but the talent as well which is really important in order to make the story more alive.
