Uncover Me



I spent so much time covering it up, 
but now it's all showing through.
As I step into the warm water, 
lay down and submerge my hair, 
it becomes straight once more.
The colour at my eyes and my lips
have washed away-
my clothes are gone too.
Laying in the bath
I glance at the large mirror opposite, 
this is me, no covers.

How does it feel to be different from me?
A normal person.

Is there such things as 'normal'?

Cover Me Up



I felt that way,
So I changed the colour of my hair.
I curled it, too.
Then I outlined my eyes, 
And painted my lips-
Just to cover me up.
It's all so fake, 
None of it's me, 
I'm hiding everything natural that I have, 
I'm hiding deep under these covers.

To be honest, 
Felt safe under this cover...

Masih ingat kiamat 2012?

Now dah 2012 pun... JANGAN percaya lagi...
Sebab Kiamat menurut Agama Islam :
---------------------------------------------------------

- Kemunculan Imam Mahdi
- Kemunculan Dajjal
- Keturunan Hazrat Isa (AS)
- Kemunculan Yakjuj Dan Makjuj
- Terbitnya matahari dari Barat ke Timur
- Pintu pengampunan akan ditutup
- Dab'bat al-Ard akan keluar dari tanah & akan menandai muslim yang sebenar-benarnya
- Kabus selama 40 Hari akan mematikan semua orang beriman sejati sahaja mereka tidak perlu mengalami tanda-tanda kiamat lainnya
- Sebuah kebakaran besar akan menyebabkan kerusakan,
- Pemusnahan Kabah,
- Tulisan dalam Al-Quran akan lenyap,
- Sangkakala akan ditiup pertama kalinya binatang-binatang & orang-orang kafir yang tersisa akan mati, semua gunung & bangunan akan runtuh
- Tiupan sangkakala yang kedua kalinya akan membangkitkan semua ciptaan Allah & bertemu di dataran Arafah menuju saat penghakiman mereka..
- Dan Matahari akan mendekatkan dirinya ke bumi

Nabi Muhammad saw telah bersabda: "Barang siapa yg mengingatkan ini kepada orang lain, akan Ku buatkan tempat di Syurga baginya pada hari penghakiman kelak."

Kita selalu kirim ribuan bende kat email, fb, tapi bila kirim yang berkaitan dengan ibadah mesti berfikir-fikir.

Allah berfirman : "Jika engkau lebih mengejar duniawi daripada mengejar dekat denganKu maka Aku berikan, tapi Aku akan menjauhkan kalian dari SyurgaKu".

0110 - 2nd

Andai kumiliki semalam
Dan bisa aku ubah menjadi esok
Takkan kuubah apapun
Kerna aku tahu engkau tetap indah
Tanpa sempadan masa
Aku bahagia seadanya

Tangis ini tanda kasihku
Bukan mengeluh luka yang semalam
Kerna engkau mengasihiku
Tiada sendu lagi di duniaku ini

Aku tak dapat bayangkan
Sengsara yang harus kutanggung
Jika kau pilih perpisahan
Tanpa punca yang meyakinkan
Aku akan tersasar mencari cintamu

Andai terhentinya masa
Dan gunung jatuh ke laut
Kau tetap kucinta
Kasih sayangku adalah kekuatan

Untuk menempuh segala
Dugaan yang tak terbayangkan
Oleh insan yang lemah seperti kita
Sekalipun kumiliki esok
Takkan kumenolak ketentuan...

jadual hari ini

azan subuh dah?! - solat.
pejamlah wahai mata,
rehatlah wahai otak,
tenanglah wahai hati.

zohor dan asar,
masih bergelumang,
dengan timbunan kueh,
dan kotak bingkisan,
sempatkah - desis hati...
mata, otak, hati - fokus!

eh? azan dah!
capai gelas atas meja,
ada suku lagi sirap sahur tadi,
basah tekak - alhamdulillah,
rokok sebatang - mungkin sebatang lagi.

mandi, solat,

shah alam dan bangsar.

McDonald's Fish Fillet,
tunggu saya datang kelaparan.

D.I.N.I.H.A.R.I


dia pergi,
dia kembali,
dia pergi lagi,
dan kembali lagi.

tapi kali ini,
aku yang berlalu pergi,
membawa perca hati sendiri,
setelah dia mampu memiliki,
apa yang dihajati,
selama ini.

dan aku sendiri lagi...
ahh! di liang lahad nanti,
sendirian juga! desis hati ku lagi.

terima kasih si Kotak Hati,
untuk satu kesan abadi.

breakaway!

Penang,
supposedly 1 night,
extended till 3 nights.

Johor,
still undecided till when,
cuz i had so much fun,
after years without break.

don't want it to over,
but i know all dreams will end,
when you wake up and open your eyes.

for now,
i just wanna have fun,
i wanna heal myself,
fix my broken soul,
pick up the pieces of my heart,
that has been scattered around,
and find myself again.

seratus lima puluh juta


Aku lebih bengis dari sang naga, tapi bisa nangis semata demi senja
dan aku sengaja tunjuk keras kepala, aku punya manja kau saja boleh rasa

...rahsia kita berdua...

Gadis...

menjadi gadis itu memenatkan
menjadi gadis itu merimaskan
suatu kerja berat dan membeban
menjadi gadis yang ingin sendirian berjalan

keterlaluan berani akan dibenci
keterlaluan lemah akan dikeji
perlu gagah dan tak reti tewas
perlu kuat dihenyak dicantas

si gadis menelefonku malam itu
teresak mencerita jiwa luluh
dihiris bahasa tajam dari mulut
si gadis tiada daya menutur

lalu aku membalas:
bukan tugasmu memuas
manusia berbeza minda
tak akan sama

si gadis terus meluah hampa hati
perlakuannya salah serba-serbi
semakin keliru dengan mahu diri
si gadis soal "bagaimana lagi?"

lalu aku berkata--
biar nalurimu beraja
mana hujung sempurna pada manusia?

kita gadis memang sering menyongsang rasa
mana cinta, mana rasa, mana dia?
dengar sini, mahalkan air jiwa kamu
simpankanlah dan hulurkan hanya pada dia itu

lalu aku berkata--
biar nalurimu beraja
mana hujung sempurna pada manusia?

perlu tabah
perlu gagah
usah resah
usah goyah

ayuh gadis,
berhentilah kau menangis.

Penangites Mai KL


Ha! Finally, sampai pun depa ni ke KL and sampai la jugak hajat nak makan Sweedish Meatball at Ikea. I had fun accompanying Faisal, Keith and Ayie that day evento I had a bad night earlier. Oh well, never-mind. Suposed to fetched them at Cahaya SPK at 1noon but my eyes were so sore due to excessively water flowing last night - so I postponed it to 4pm and thank God, they ok about it.

Went to Nan's castle, when these boys staying (I sgt jeles ok!). Nan's place is very nice! I love it and hat off to him for decorating and designing it himself. Kudos!!! I asked Ayie for a tour and wallah! Impressive!!! Chit chat then we head off to Ikea. Shopping and eating!

After that, there's 2 option - either to club or karaoke. They went clubbing last night but I didn't join them but tonight - to be honest I don't mind either one but I'm actually more keen to go to karaoke. And yes, we did! Since Redbox is full - only available at 12midnight. We head to 1Utama Neway for a change. Well, I think Redbox is wayyyyyy better. But then again, when you have a bunch of crazy, fun people around - place & size is not an issue. *wink*

I've booked a room for 6 but later another 2 Ayie's frind came over. And the best part is - they are all a very good singer. Rasa macam pergi concert la pulak ya! *super kewl* Hope to do this again soon. Perhaps in Penang since I'm going again in October, yayy! *finger cross*

The Best Friends in Penang!


The 1st time I met Faisal & Keith was in 2009. Diorang memang la best dan sgt best! Eh? 2 kali sebut best eh? Tapi memang best la... Very accommodating and sgt best. Hmmmm, best lagi. I know Faisal from bloghopping and been following his 'soap opera online version' for quite sometime and finally met after 1 year became a blog buddy.

I went to submit my 2 artworks to Kedah last week and stayed in Penang for a break. This time around, we met everyday for dinner or supper. Ha! Habis kena sakat and good borak and merapu session we had. And of course, sambil tambah lemak kat badan. Ye la, da lama tak jumpa tu. The last one was in June, 2010 when I went to Penang with Bebear to pick up my artwork from Penang State Gallery. After that, our plan clashed - either one of them is busy or they went for a vacation.

But this photo was taken on the 2nd night on my 'terkujat break away trip' the other day. They always took me out for nice places in Penang and this particular place is Nasi Tomato. Never been there before and I must say - N.I.C.E! First night was at my all time favourite place - Gurney Hawkers Food! And the last night was at the Famous Mee Udang Ayu! *now I'm drooling as I'm typing this*

Thank you Faisal & Keith for being a very god host whenever I'm there. You're the best of the best & love you guys so much! <3

Latest Visit at DOME!


Hahahhahaa... It was a good day that day. Supposed to go back to KL after 1 night stay but I decided to stay another night as I really need a break away and stay away from KL for a while. So, went to Gurney Plaza to get some shirt and maybe pant and have lunch at Dome. As I remember my last visit to Dome was years back. Honestly, not much change except the menu.

I've ordered the Big Breakfast and some chocolate dessert. And before we leave, the waitress pass to BM a paper that I need to fill up and he pass it over to me and said "I know you like to do this." Hahahahahahahah! And yes, I'm in the meed today to fill up form - I replied sarcastically. So, here what I wrote and yes, self promo too! *wink*

Rest In Peace

The Law Of Seed

This is a very good piece of thought. Read carefully and relate it to your life...
The Law of the Seed.

Take a look at an apple tree. There might be five hundred apples on the tree and each apple has ten seeds.
That's a lot of seeds!
We might ask, "Why would you need so many seeds to grow just a few more apple trees?"
Nature has something to teach us here.
It's telling us: “Not all seeds grow. In life, most seeds never grow.
So if you really want to make something happen you had better try more than once."

This might mean:
You'll attend twenty interviews to get one job.
You'll interview forty people to find one good employee.
You'll talk to fifty people to sell one house, one car, one vacuum cleaner, one insurance policy, or a business idea.
And you might meet a hundred acquaintances just to find one special friend.

When we understand the "Law of the Seed",
We don't get so disappointed.
We stop feeling like victims.
We learn how to deal with things that happen to us.
Laws of nature are not things to take personally.
We just need to understand them - and work with them.

IN A NUTSHELL
Successful people fail more often. But they plant more seeds.
When things are beyond your control, here's something that you must NOT DO so as to avoid misery in your life:
- You must not decide how you think the world SHOULD be.
- You must not make rules for how everyone SHOULD behave.
- Then, when the world doesn't obey your rules, you get angry!
- That's what miserable people do!

On the other hand, let's say you expect that:
- Friends SHOULD return favors .
- People SHOULD appreciate you.
- Planes SHOULD arrive on time.
- Everyone SHOULD be honest.
- Your husband or best friend SHOULD remember your birthday.
These expectations may sound reasonable.
But often, if these things won't happen! So you end up frustrated and disappointed.

There's a better strategy:
Demand less, and instead, have preferences!
For things that are beyond your control, tell yourself:
"I would prefer this, but if that happens, it’s OK too!"
This is really a change in mindset. It is a shift in attitude, and it gives you more peace of mind...
You prefer that people are polite ... but when they are rude, it doesn't ruin your day.
You prefer sunshine ... but if it rains, it is ok too!

To become happier, we either need to:
a) Change the world, or
b) Change our thinking.
It is easier to change our Thinking!

IN A NUTSHELL
It is not the problem that is the issue, but rather it is your attitude attending to the problem that is the problem.
It's not what happens to you that determines your happiness.
It's how you think about what happens to you!

P.E.R.F.E.C.T

I've come a crossed this video clip few weeks ago and today it's on repeat mode on my player. This clip reminds me so much of myself. What I've gone through, what makes me and what I've become now...


Made a wrong turn, once or twice
Dug my way out, blood and fire
Bad decisions, that's alright
Welcome to my silly life
Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood
Miss 'No way, it's all good', it didn't slow me down
Mistaken, always second guessing, underestimated
Look, I'm still around

Pretty pretty please, don't you ever ever feel
Like you're less than f*ckin' perfect
Pretty pretty please, if you ever ever feel like you're nothing
You're f*ckin' perfect to me!

You're so mean, when you talk about yourself, you were wrong
Change the voices in your head, make them like you instead
So complicated, look happy, you'll make it!
Filled with so much hatred... such a tired game
It's enough! I've done all I can think of
Chased down all my demons, I've seen you do the same

The whole world's scared so I swallow the fear
The only thing I should be drinking is an ice cold beer
So cool in line, and we try try try, but we try too hard and it's a waste of my time
Done looking for the critics, cause they're everywhere
They don't like my jeans, they don't get my hair
Exchange ourselves, and we do it all the time
Why do we do that? Why do I do that?

Why do I do that... ?

Tuesday, March 8, 2011

really?

yup! i don't like it...

too many times read it,
too many times heard it,
wayyyy too many!!!

i admit,
i do complain,
i do shed a tears,
i do have a problems,
and i share with others too...

i read yours,
i heard your story,
ones, twice, thrice and so on,
i do sympathy and i helped.

but if you keep playing a 'victim role',
to gain sympathy,
and blame on everybody,
and everything,
and sometime - i do feel like you're blaming God,
i don't care anymore...

betul - tak semua manusia dilahirkan senang,
betul - tak semua manusia bernasib baik,
betul - tak semua manusia mampu menanggung masalah sendiri,

tapi...
semua itu ketentuan yg Esa.
semua itu dugaan dariNya.
semua itu boleh diubah.
kalau mahu mengubahnya...

ya betul!
mulut kata redha,
jari tulis redha,
tapi redhakah hati kamu itu?
bila keluhan demi keluhan dicoret, diperdengar,
pada umum hampir saban waktu?

Dia ada,
ceritalah, mintalah, rayulah...
semoga Dia mendengar.
Kalau masih tak berubah setelah puas bertawakal,
Ingatlah, itu adalah simpanan 'tabung' utk 'disana' nanti...

Jika keluhan demi keluhan diluahkan,
Tidakkah kamu percaya pada Qada' & Qadar?
Tidakkah kamu percaya bahawa Dia menduga org yg Dia sayang?
Tidakkah kamu percaya pada Dia?

masakan pokok bergoyang jika tiada angin yg bertiup,
mungkin diri sendiri yg menggoncang pokok itu?
sudah-sudah lah wahai teman...

if you keep pointing fingers to others,
if you keep saying everybody are wrong,
have you ever stop, think, ponder and wonder,
may be it could be you are the one at wrong...

Kawan, Teman & Sahabat

I have all of them...
Yup! Loads of them who I can call a friend,
but very little who I can call a best friend.

Come to think of it - I think I don't have any!
I used to but not anymore...
maybe cuz I don't really trust people,
so, I don't share... I don't simply share,
had too many 'broken hearts or dreams' cases,
from my own journey - the learning curve experience.

I have loads of them to have fun with,
to have a laugh with,
to go shopping with,
to come to me for help,
to look for me to listen to their problems.

But now,
at this current situation,
at this very moment,
i'm struggling, thinking, implementing and so on,
by myself but i'm still smiling,
cuz I have plenty of strangers are helping me,
concern and share their opinion and give me an advise,
and best - I have Daddykins & Horlick to make me laugh!
and awesome - I have God who always listen to my whisper - alhamdulillah.

Sweet Love

the harder it gets
the deeper it will be..

is that good or bad?
hmmm.. and this one for you.

Sweet love, sweet love
Trapped in your love
I've opened up, unsure I can trust
My heart and I were buried in dust
Free me, free us

You’re all I need when I’m holding you tight
If you walk away I will suffer tonight

I am terrified to love for the first time
Can you see that I’m bound in chains
I finally found my way
I am bound to you

So much, so young
I’ve faced on my own
Walls I built up became my home
I’m strong and I’m sure there’s a fire in us
Sweet love, so pure

Thank you for everything! *hugs*

Al-Fatihah...

Tak perlu anda bersedih dalam sakit karena itu adalah ujian dalam ibadah Anda. Salah satu bukti kasih sayang-NYA adalah, Tuhan mengutus 4 malaikat untuk selalu menjaga kita dalam sakit. Berikut adalah penjelasannya; “Apabila seorang hamba yang beriman menderita sakit, maka Allah memerintahkan kepada para malaikat agar menulis perbuatan yang terbaik yang dikerjakan hamba mukmin itu pada saat sehat dan pada saat waktu senangnya.”

Ujaran Rasulullah SAW tsb diriwayatkan oleh Abu Imamah al Bahili. Dalam hadist yang lain Rasulullah bersabda : "Apabila seorang hamba mukmin sakit, maka Allah mengutus 4 malaikat untuk datang padanya."

Allah memerintahkan :
1. Malaikat pertama untuk mengambil kekuatannya sehingga menjadi lemah.
2. Malaikat kedua untuk mengambil rasa lezatnya makanan dari mulutnya
3. Malaikat ketiga untuk mengambil cahaya terang di wajahnya sehingga berubahlah wajah si sakit menjadi pucat pasi.
4. Malaikat keempat untuk mengambil semua dosanya, maka berubahlah si sakit menjadi suci dari dosa.

Tatkala Allah akan menyembuhkan hamba mukmin itu, Allah memerintahkan kepada malaikat 1, 2 dan 3 untuk mengembalikan kekuatannya, rasa lezat, dan cahaya di wajah sang hamba. Namun untuk malaikat ke 4, Allah tidak memerintahkan untuk mengembalikan dosa-dosanya kepada hamba mukmin. Maka bersujudlah para malaikat itu kepada Allah seraya berkata : "Ya Allah mengapa dosa2 ini tidak Engkau kembalikan?”

Allah menjawab : “Tidak baik bagi kemuliaan-Ku jika Aku mengembalikan dosa2nya setelah Aku menyulitkan keadaan dirinya ketika sakit. Pergilah dan buanglah dosa2 tersebut ke dalam laut.” Dengan ini, maka kelak si sakit itu berangkat ke alam akhirat dan keluar dari dunia dalam keadaan suci dari dosa sebagaimana sabda Rasulullah SAW : “Sakit panas dalam sehari semalam, dapat menghilangkan dosa selama setahun.”

Maa syaa Allah, Laa Quwwata Illaa Billaah...

Actually, the reason I post this - not because I'm unwell, no. I'm ok, sihat alhamdulillah. But since last Feb 12 till 19 - ramai betul org yg agak dekat meninggal. Tetiba rasa sgt dekat da diri sendiri dgn kematian. Yg, satu satunya yg pasti - yg dijanjikan... Masih banyak yg tak elok dari elok pada diri ni. Sempatkah nanti? Lately pon da terasa macam macam.. Entah la. Semoga dipermudah segala urusan. Semoga dilembutkan hati yg keras ni. Amin.

To Datin Elya Lim Abdullah [Puan], semoga kuat menempuhi ujian ini. Somoga arwah Dato Adnan Mohd Tahir [Che Nan], di tempatkan dikalangan orang orang yg beriman - Al-Fatihah. Sesungguhnya dia seorang yg sangat baik. Insya-Allah, I'll pray for his journey to be smooth and for you to be strong to take over his legacy. Insya-Allah, amin.

To Ajim Juxta's dad, Natasha Ili's grandpa and Olik's ex-colleague - Al-Fatihah.

C'est La Vie

Dengan hanya RM50,
menjadi pengakhiran pertaruhan cinta?

Biasalah dunia sekarang...
Bila diambang kemewahan,
Yang lama lagi menyusahkan,
Buat apa disimpan lagi!
Lebih baik pulun sendiri.

AY came visit me in my dreams last night. It felt so real.. Woke up with holding my ring finger with tears on my pillow. Why? Why must he come every time I'm broken hearted? Every single time???!!! It's vivid but surreal. I went to see his mom and said what I need it to say long before and guess what? His mother likes/loves me and... We were married after that and he said - "Why didn't I do this long before?"

But! I'm the 2nd wife. Hmmmm... Well, it's just s dream.

P.U.A.S.L.A.H.K.A.M.U

debu-debu mata berbentuk air mengalir,
zarah-zarah merah pekat di pangkal bibir,
selamatkan aku.
selamatkan aku.

awan-awan mendepang mahu menyambut,
cepat-cepat aku pusing mencari ribut,
pegangkan aku.
pegangkan aku.

kekeh-kekeh guruh menikam sayap aku,
mati-mati aku sangka butir itu salju,
kuatkan aku.
kuatkan aku.

tegar kau biar aku ini bermati dihunus takdir.
baik kau lontar terus saja aku pada petir.
puaslah kamu.
puaslah kamu.

Sedekah

Firman ALLAH Subhana Wa Ta’ala :
“Syaitan itu menjanjikan (menakut-nakutkan) kamu dengan kemiskinan dan kepapaan (jika kamu bersedekah atau menderma), dan ia menyuruh kamu melakukan perbuatan yang keji (bersifat bakhil kedekut); sedang ALLAH menjanjikan kamu (dengan) keampunan daripadaNya serta kelebihan kurniaNya. Dan (ingatlah), ALLAH Maha Luas limpah rahmatNya, lagi sentiasa Meliputi PengetahuanNya.”

[Surah Al- Baqarah, Ayat 268]
Hadis Sahih Bukhari Jilid 2. Hadis Nombor 0731.
Dari Abu Hurairah r.a., katanya ada seorang laki-laki berkata: "Saya akan bersedekah. "Lalu ia pergi membawa sedekahnya, kebetulan diberikannya ke tangan seorang pencuri. Orang ramai mentertawakannya, "Ada pula orang bersedekah kepada pencuri." Orang yang bersedekah itu berkata: "Ya, Allah! Untuk Engkau segala puji. Saya akan bersedekah lagi."

Lalu ia keluar membawa sedekahnya, kebetulan diberikannya kepada seorang perempuan lacur. Orang ramai mentertawakannya, "Semalam ada orang memberikan sedekah kepada wanita pelacur." Orang itu berkata, "Ya, Allah! Untuk Engkau segala puji. Saya akan bersedekah lagi."

Ia pergi membawa sedekahnya, kali ini kebetulan diberikannya ke tangan orang kaya. Orang ramai mentertawakannya lagi, "Rupanya orang kaya pun menerima sedekah juga." Kata orang yang memberi sedekah, "Ya, Allah! Untuk Engkau segala puji. Saya berikan sedekah saya kepada pencuri, kepada wanita lacur dan kepada orang kaya."

Kemudian ia bermimpi. Rasanya ada malaikat yang mengatakan kepadanya, "Sedekah engkau kepada pencuri, semoga menyebabkan ia berhenti mencuri. Sedekah engkau kepada pelacur, semoga menyebabkan ia berhenti melacur. Dan sedekah engkau kepada orang kaya, semoga menyedarkannya dan mendorongnya untuk menafkahkan apa yang diberikan Allah kepadanya."

Kawan, jika hari ini engkau ada peluang untuk memberi,
Berilah dengan seikhlas hati.
Kerana esok belum tentu engkau ada kesempatan lagi.

Jika engkau berpeluang memberi,
Ingatlah, bukan kerana engkau mereka mendapat rezeki,
Namun kerana ALlah yang telah menetapkan,
Rezeki mereka engkau yang akan menyampaikan..

Berikan seringgit kepada fakir miskin,
Engkau akan mendapat pahala bersedekah.
Berikan satu ringgit kepada kaum keluargamu,
Engkau akan mendapat pahala bersedekah dan pahala menghubung silaturrahim.

Satu ringgit yang engkau berikan semasa engkau miskin,
Tidak akan sama nilainya dengan seribu ringgit yang engkau berikan semasa engkau telah menjadi kaya.
Jadi, jangan tunggu kaya untuk bersedekah..
Kerana bimbang masa itu tidak akan pernah sampai..
Sedang ajalmu semakin hampir dan terus mengintai-ngintai..

Seratus ringgit yang engkau simpan,
Belum tahu lagi milik siapa,
Milik doktor yang merawat sakit peningmumu,
atau pomen yang merawat ragam keretamu..
Namun jika kau sedekahkan sedikit dari nilai simpanan itu,
Itulah simpanan yang hakiki dan kekal abadi,
Di bawa terus ke syurga menanti.

Kerana itu Sahabatku,
Hari ini, berikan apa sahaja yang engkau mampu,
kepada sesiapa sahaja yang mungkin perlu.

~ Thanks to Anoy for sharing this.
Buat ingatan utk kita semua. Insya-Allah. Amin.

To me, sedekah tu bukan utk kita rasa bangga dgn pemberian kita. Sepatutnya kita perlu berterima kasih pada org yg kita sedekah itu kerana menerima sedekah kita langsung memberi kita peluang utk mendapat pahala dan ganjarang dari-Nya. Kalau dia tidak terima sedekah kita, takde lah peluang kita mendapat pahala dan ganjaran dari sedekah kita itu, insya-Allah. Dan selalunya, lagi banyak kita bagi, lagi banyak yg akan dtg kerana Dia tahu - rezeki kita selalunya utk dikongsi dgn yg lain, insya-Allah murah rezeki kita kalau rajin bersedekah ni.

Rezeki kita tu kekadang, belum tentu hak kita. Kalau tak diberi/kongsi dgn yg lain - gi beli makanan, da makan pun kekadang tumpah la, muntah balik ka - itu da rezeki yg lain. Kan?

Goodbye 2010 & Welcome 2011

Just when you got used to writing 2010...
BAM!!! 2011 shows up.

An optimist stays up until midnight
to see the new year in.
A pessimist stays up
to make sure the old year leaves.
Which one are you?

And if 2010 was written in pencil,
what would you erase?

Out with the old, Goodbye 2010...
In with the new, Welcome 2011!
It wasn't that easy but hey,
just happy to see another year coming,
so fasten your seat belt
and be ready for the next ride!

Hoping 2011 brings you all
health, wealth and happiness.
Happy New Year to all of you =)

Hati Pecah!

Ok, hari ni sangat panas hati… I am really really really upset today. Ye la, mana taknya… Hari tu, ada seorang artist ni selalu Tanya pasal my artwork. Cara pembuatannya and memang sangat detail dia Tanya. Tak cover langsung and tak piker langsung periuk nasi saya. Ok la, being me yg agak suka nak share [ but not that detail ok! ] and also mengenangkan dia Bukan buat abstract, I pon jawab la soalan soalan dia tu. Siap demo lagi kalau dia Tanya da sampai tahap annoying. Again, thinking that she’s doing potrait. Not so much abstract.

And guess what? Not long after that, not even a month… After I bought few pieces of her artwork – I saw she posted a new photo af her latest artwork. Memang la dia da start buat abstract and hari tu pun ade je yg dia try jugak guna wax ni but this time around, it’s almost exactly like mine. Yg tambah lagi sedih tu pulak, Sya siap kata her choice of colours pon da banyak ikut my style. Gosh!!! Sangat marah ok!

And then today pulak hati ni panas balik ngan isu yg semacam gini gak. Ada my ex-staff ni, dia nak beli my artwork yg on sale tu. But the piece yg she interested tu, da ada org book and ada ready buyer pon. So, I offer to make a new one for her at a very good price. She dowan pulak and she told me her budget RM150-200 tapi nak artwork yg 3 keping bagai… Camno tu? Canvas aku pon tak lepas nih! Then I make other offer, further mark down on those item y goon sale [ yela, tadi dia kata kira discount tu macam hadiah dia kawen ]. But tak nak lak. *haish* And last offer, through email fo my latest artwork.

Nak jadi cerita her brother just added me in his FB. And curious to know about my art. Da Tanya itu ini itu ini, bum bang bum bang, finally I dapat tahu she actually asked her brother to copy my artwork. Either 1 from the 5pcs that she likes. WTF!!!!!! I sangat marah masa dapat tahu tu and lurus betul adik dia ni pon bercerita. Kat situ, I da cair, tak marah tapi rasa frust giler. Frust yg amat sangat, entah la... I rasa pas ni tak yah la sesibuk nak ke SG Besi just to buy stuff from her sis. Kita sibuk dok support org punya business, dia lak dok buat cenggini. Biar la bayar mahal pun kat tempat lain but at least, I don’t feel betrayed!

Y Allah, kuat kan la hati ini. Banyak betul dugaan sebenarnya. Suda nak abis idea gak aku ni kekadang... Sampai kekadang terlintas jugak kat fikiran ni, tak yah la jadi trend setter, jadi follower udah. Tak yah sibuk cari idea baru, cuma perlu copy and improvise aje... *haih* Ya Allah, jauhkan la aku dari perasaan ini. Aku mohon kau lembutkan lah hati ini, jauhkan lah aku dari berfikiran yg bukan bukan dan redhakan lah semuanya. Mungkin satu hari nanti, aku akan bagi je sesiapa pon ak copy my artwork tu... Anggap je benda tu semua 'not a big deal' but as for now, I'm still hurt. And somehow, feel betrayed!

Penang A Sense of Flavors

October 31, 2010 - Alhamdulillah, Essence I & II - all submitted. Hopefully got to win or at least, selected to be exhibit in Penang State Art Gallery for the 2nd time! Amin. Thanks to Sya for accompany me to submit the artworks!!!

For me, Penang is a food paradise, among others. I love Penang food, its essences and aroma, thus the birth of Essence I.

The background with curves represents the pipping steaming hot delicious dishes available in Penang. It is also represents the various mouth-watering gravies. The Silver and Gold, represent the rich history Penang is blessed with, including the dishes available that are from various cultures and ethnicity.

The spices pasted on the piece is an authenticity of Penang herself. The history of spice is almost as old as human civilization. It is a history of lands discovered, empires built and brought down, wars won and lost, treaties signed and flouted, flavours sought and offered, and the rise and fall of different religious practices and beliefs.

Spices were among the most valuable items of trade in ancient and medieval time and Penang herself has the most interesting story to tell. There is no single sense that defines flavour - although we perceive the flavour of food in our mouths, it is our brains that determine flavour.


My brains (or mind) translates the colour red as a stimulant. Red is the hottest of the warm colours. So in Essence I, I used Red, Orange and Yellow.

Yellow is a colour that gets attention and is overpowering. While Orange is vibrant and is also known as an appetite stimulant. The combination of red and yellow and orange used in Essence I, denotes energy, warmth, and the sun- exactly how all the delicious food and its aroma in Penang stimulates me.


While in Essence II, I used Green, Brown and Yellow. All the colours used is my way of describing Penang Island that is also known as the Pearl of the Orient and heaven for food lovers, who come from all over the world.

Penang's cuisine reflects the Chinese, Malay and Indian ethnic mix of Malaysia!

Maybank Submission

October 25, 2010 - Alhamdulillah, all went well but I still don't know what's the status as they have postpone the exhibition date. Hmmmm, harap harap terpilih la. Amin.

Theme : Expressions of the Malayan Tiger Art Competition.

Currently 10 years into the millennium, the world is now at a super fast pace, everything is evolving per millisecond including Maybank and its services. With its online services everything can be done within a click thus the two triangle on my piece symbolizes 'the-fast-forward' button.

While we are chasing to be at the top, yet we must remember the past that brought us to the future.

Trough the black and gold the background, I attempted captured the qualities of the majestic Malayan tiger as per the theme reflections of Strength, Vigour and Elegance.


The Red in the piece means Stop or rather - We should stop all the killings! There are fewer than 5,000 wild tigers in the world and only about 500 are left in Malaysia, a sharp decline from an estimated 3,000 in the 1950s. The Green is a sign for Go! Or Lets start going green to save the forest. We should now recycle, reuse and reduce! The dripping black wax with gold base represents the tears due to pollution that sooner or later will destroy our ancient treasures, the air, water and earth, if we do not act now!


Discussing with daddykins how to stick them? *muka da naik sembab da dok tak tido berhari hari* Ok, he went to Hardware store downstairs and bought this super glue which apparently used by some people to get high! And yes, the smell make my head go dizzy a little..
