Synopsis:
Based on Ah Niu's childhood experiences, the film takes us to a small town where we're introduced to a timid boy nicknamed Botak (Ah Niu), who is incapable of making a good cup of Joe at his father's old fashioned coffee shop, and his love interest Da Jia Yu (Fighting Fish played by Angelica Lee), a feisty girl who boldly beats up bullies and whose eyes can shoot darts. From there, we meet a handful of quirky supporting characters: Big troublemaker Ma Li Fan (Gary Chaw with Aaron Kwok hairstyle) who frequently challenges Jia Yu at silly bets ranging from "guli" to fish fighting; his silent sister Ma Li Bing (Fish Leong) who keeps on drinking Barlie and has a crush on Botak; and charcoal seller Prince (Victor Wong) whom Botak's overweight sister (Lim Ching Miau) dreams of marrying.

Review:
The story was set in early 80s which is based largely on Ah Niu childhood experiences where he grew up in Pulau Penang. In attempt to revive Malaysian Chinese Movie industry, he placed quite a lot of effort into this movie.
This film displayed a heart warming story that surrounds the blooming of the few puppy love with the various characters in the village.
A local production that gathers a bunch of top Malaysian Chinese Artist together, most of them are famous singers and song writers.
Director Ah Niu proved to others that he can just not only sing and write songs, he can direct a movie too.
This kampong-based film is really great, I would recommend you peeps to watch it!
But first, watch Aftershock if you haven't.
& hope that Ah Niu will come up with more great films! ^^
