            Guess what? Yeah, that was the jargon of Chitato snack advertisement.  Life is absolutely never flat, I think. By the way, welcome all in this April 2013. This new month, of course, is full of spirit from us. The spirit that always fired in our heart that we will do the better action compared with the previous month. J OK, in this nice atmosphere I would like to share about the movie that I already watched in the last holiday. We got the holiday from Friday up to Sunday last week. It seems nice for dormitory students like me. I could have my ‘extra’ leisure time to refresh my mind before I join OSK selection in 2^nd April, today. So, listen to my experience carefully, Guys.

            I already watched a movie; I think some of you were know about this movie. The title of the movie is “Life of Pi”. It was taken from the novel of Yann Martel with Ang Lee as the director. Here, the movie was adapted from the novel that has the same title with the film. The film told about a slice of Pi Patel’s life, a youngster from India. In this film, Suraj Sharma acted as Pi.

            The story begin with the little Pi, who lived with several religions such as Hindu, Islam, Christianity, and Jewish. He often uses the combination from those religions’s ritual in his childhood. Before he ate, he prays with Catholic way. Then, he also prays using Islam way, and etc. That was also unique for me. Why? Because from here we could know that we just use our little mind to understand this world. We often ignore the other thing that could different from the usual custom.

            Next, I really amazed with the Pi’s way to survive at sea for several month with a Bengali tiger. I could learn from the survival, that life is never flat. Sometimes, we can relax ourselves like the Pi’s life in India that full of rich. Then, we also should work harder to overcome our life at the difficult condition. I remember with Pi’s journey in several places. He found the mysterious island that actually was act as a cannibal island. Also, there are several attractions from Walrus, Shark, and swordfish at sea. His journey ended up after he stranded at Mexico.

            Not finished in that session, I really, again, amazed with the story that shows the tiger was walking out from Pi after they were stranded at Mexico. This film really takes my liters of tears off. How about you, Guys?

            This story is interpreting the life cycle of human. We often faced at the difficult moment by the God. God gave us the trial to face on that problem. For example, we should think hard and carefully to face those. From this film, I can learn that we should face every problem that comes to our life, and we should keep our spirit strong! As strong as Pi that survives several months at sea. Life is never flat!
