Uncover Me

2012-01-28T06:10:00.001+08:00

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

2012-01-27T06:04:00.000+08:00

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?

2012-01-22T16:05:00.000+08:00

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".

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...

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...

2011-08-02T23:41:00.000+08:00

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.

Salam Ramadhan.

2011-08-01T13:45:00.000+08:00

Ramadhan is a month of Allah.

Whose beginning is mercy,

Whose middle is forgiveness,

Whose end is freedom from fire.

Wishing you a blessed Ramadhan.

Penangites Mai KL

2011-07-30T21:21:00.002+08:00

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!

2011-07-26T19:03:00.004+08:00

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!

2011-07-25T18:37:00.001+08:00

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

2011-07-23T18:18:00.002+08:00

Amy was about one thing and that was love...

The Law Of Seed

2011-06-26T18:03:00.004+08:00

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!

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... ?

really?

2011-03-08T04:02:00.004+08:00

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

2011-03-07T04:34:00.001+08:00

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

2011-02-23T05:59:00.001+08:00

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...

2011-02-21T04:25:00.004+08:00

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.

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.

debu-debu mata berbentuk air mengalir,

zarah-zarah merah pekat di pangkal bibir,

selamatkan aku.

awan-awan mendepang mahu menyambut,

cepat-cepat aku pusing mencari ribut,

pegangkan aku.

kekeh-kekeh guruh menikam sayap aku,

mati-mati aku sangka butir itu salju,

kuatkan aku.

tegar kau biar aku ini bermati dihunus takdir.

baik kau lontar terus saja aku pada petir.

puaslah kamu.

Sedekah

2011-01-26T16:16:00.003+08:00

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?

V-Day is just around the Corner!

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!

2010-11-29T09:15:00.003+08:00

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

2010-11-29T08:15:00.006+08:00

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

2010-11-29T07:40:00.005+08:00

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..

Mekar Citra 2010

2010-11-29T05:44:00.003+08:00

Slowly updating my entry here… Sigh! Banyak benda jadi sekarang ni, jangan kata nak post entry on daily basis – nak tarik napaz pon payah. But I’m happy doing what I’m doing now. Ok, now still on my art activities. This piece buat untuk Pertandingan Mekar citra 2010 di Galeri Shah Alam. I was rushing from KL to JB and back to Melaka. I only have 2 days to finished this artwork, to submit before the closing date. Haish! Not realy satisfied or happy on this piece but guess what – Da jual da artwork ni! *Yayy* Err, alhamdulilah. =)

August 1, 2010 - I was thinking to do some colourful painting and start using a new stroke. All base in blue using brush but the top part to be in soli and bold colours using knife – straight from tube. And this is the result. And I’m using glitters for the fireworks. I still think I should have sent the Epiphany I for this even they said that all artwork must be produce in the year of 2010. *chait*

As usual, tak tido malam tu. Siap je artwork – terus mandi and off to Shah Alam. Da lambat sebenarnya tapi Alhamdulillah, they said there’s a group coming from JB to submit their artwork as well and they might arrive at night. So, sempat la.. Lepas hantar tu, tgk tgk jugak la artwork yg lain – da tahu da, memang tak memang la gamaknya..

Citra Terengganu

2010-11-21T18:59:00.007+08:00

Went on July 14 and came back on July 16.. Fast eh? Yup! It’s a very long drive I must say. Tired? Hell yes! Result da dapat da pon and mine not selected. *sigh* As expected, they go for realism and scenarist too... Kalau bukan sebab ada dgr Allah akan cabar kat akhirat nanti suruh bagi nyawa kat benda kita lukis tu, da lama gak buat lukisan yang banyak gambo org org ni. Sigh! Well, will look into this soon. But then again, takkan la just because memang Malaysian belum lagi into Abstract then I have to change my style aite? I think I will stick to abstract cuz it’s more fun and it’s more me…

Tapi aku percaya, rezeki ada kat memana je kan? And yang paling penting - niat di hati bukanlah nak memang sgt tapi kalau dapat dipamerkan pon cukup la. At least, cantik sikit dalam profile nanti. Hahahhah! Cita cita tinggi tu! As someone close to me always said this bila I mengadu lukisan yang masuk petandingan tak terpilih... "Love, niat you hantar sebab nak share anugerah yang Allah bagi kat you dgn orang lain. Kalau tak terpamer dalam galeri pon, at least ada mata lain yang da pun share view tu... Thanks Dear for your encouragement!

And to Horlick, thanks for accompanying me to deliver this masterpieces.

Memula sampai Kemaman, terus gi cari Stuff Crab. Memang la sedap tapi malam ni yg kitorang siggah - tak sedap. Da la service lambat, siap da ambil memacam gambo da tapi still, food tak sampai sampai gak. Then, masa on the way balik tu, we went to another shop. Memang superb kat tempat ni. And the nasi goreng - walauwei!!! Sangat la super best! *slurps*

Seperti biasa, kalau sampai Kuala Terengganu tu, mesti stay kat Permai Inn. Entah kenapa... One maybe sebab dia murah compare to other place yg offer beach and all, 2nd sebab dia kat tepi jalan je and 3rd sebab staff dia semua sgt membantu. I have no idea how to get to The Museum Terengganu to submit the art pieces and then rush to Pasar Payang to get kain batik and pelikat for my brother's wedding nanti - my mom yang kirim. But with this map, nothing is impossible and alhamdulilah semua urusan pon settled! *yayy*

Masa sampai at the Terengganu Museum tu agak jakun jugak la sebab sgt cantik tempat tu. Unlike other gallery that I've been with. Sgt traditional, sgt besar, sgt luas dan sgt chantik! Err, have I mentioned it earlier? But yes, memang sgt kagum dgn tempat ni.

Tapi agak gigih jugak la nak cari the registration or the entrance sebab besar sgt. But finally, jumpa pon. Ambil my artwork, hantar kat diorang, isi borang, bayar and off we go! Macam biasa la, sangat panik, sangat berdebar debar but alhamdulillah, selamat semua. =) Lepas tu terus ke Pasar Payang, then off to KL. Balik tu jam pulak kat MRR2. *chait*

Must go to this guy!

2010-11-21T01:53:00.005+08:00

July 17, 2010 - If you have watches that need to repair, please go visit this Abang!!! 9pm sampai penat katenyer! Hahhahahhaa… But what ever it is, this guy is really good and he offers a very good price. At first, I don’t really like him [sesuka hati je tanak suka orang kan? Ye la, cam eksyen sikit – meniaga mana boleh cenggitu!] but after a while, he turns out to be a good guy.

I’ve sent my Gucci and my Ck watch to the dealer but they wants RM750 for my Gucci and RM500 for my CK. After thought thoroughly about it, I decided to get a new watch and left this 2 watch in the box. Until I saw him and read this article about him. So, I went there with my watches and ask him to take a look. He said he can do it and he will get back to me on the price. He gave me a receipt of the estimated price which he said the price won’t be much different from this, maybe slightly higher but can be lower too! Oh, ok – I agreed. Left my watches there and few days later he called me and told him that he’s at the spare part shop. He told me the price and I have to give a green light for him to proceed.

Alhamdulillah, it still below my budget. And a week later I went there again to pick up my watch. I paid RM380 for both watches. See, how much I’ve saved! From total of RM1,250, now I only have to pay RM380?! Bargain!!! Then I sent 2pcs of my Cerruti to get the strap replace and the other one, same problem as the previous watch. Done! I’m happy!!! *Alhamdulillah* So yes, do visit him to get your watch fixed at the very good price. Oh ya! He use the original spare parts too!!! *Yayy*

Starry Starry Night...

2010-11-15T21:16:00.012+08:00

Lyrics and Music : Don McLean, Vincent 1971.

Starry, starry night.
Paint your palette blue and grey,
Look out on a summer's day,
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
Shadows on the hills,
Sketch the trees and the daffodils,
Catch the breeze and the winter chills,
In colors on the snowy linen land.

Now I understand what you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity,
How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they did not know how.
Perhaps they'll listen now.

Starry, starry night.
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze,
Swirling clouds in violet haze,
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue.
Colors changing hue, morning fields of amber grain,
Weathered faces lined in pain,
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand.

For they could not love you,
But still your love was true.
And when no hope was left in sight
On that starry, starry night,
You took your life, as lovers often do.
But I could have told you, Vincent,
This world was never meant for one
As beautiful as you.

Starry, starry night.
Portraits hung in empty halls,
Frameless head on nameless walls,
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget.
Like the strangers that you've met,
The ragged men in the ragged clothes,
The silver thorn of bloody rose,
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.

Now I think I know what you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity,
How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they're not listening still.
Perhaps they never will...

I'm going to paint something, perhaps my own collection/piece of Starry Starry Night. Inspired by this piece of artwork, the lyric and the song... Am I allowed to do so? What about copyright? Hmm..

BiLa kita boleh menjadi TUNANGAN orang tanpa sedar

2010-11-15T17:26:00.004+08:00

by in a relationship with
on Sunday, November 14, 2010 at 2:09am

Percaya atau x, kita boleh ber”tunang” tanpa sedar?? Yup, kita boleh bertunang tanpa kita sedar, bila seorang lelaki, berhasrat untuk mengambil seorang perempuan untuk dijadikan isteri. Eh, itu memang normal bukan? Tapi, yang anda mungkin x tahu, anda sebenarnya sudah bertunang bila situasi seperti berikut berlaku:

Lelaki menyatakan hasrat ingin menjadikan perempuan itu isterinya, dan perempuan itu bersetuju. Adakah dikira telah bertunang? Padahal tidak ada ibu bapa perempuan tersebut.

Pinang dari segi hukum fiqah, bererti pihak lelaki menyatakan hasrat berkahwin pada pihak perempuan. Itu dipanggil pinang. Bila perempuan menjawab setuju, maka jadilah perempuan itu tunang laki tersebut.

Situasi yang dianggap pinangan:
"Aku nak jadikan kamu sebagai isteriku"
"Kahwinlah dengan kita bila2"
Bila si perempuan bersetuju, dia akan jadi tunang. Sama ada bercakap dalam telefon, tetap dah jadi tunang.

Contoh:
"lelaki sebut dalam telefon, "I nak jadikan u isteri I lah"
Perempuan tersebut jawab, I sukalah, I setujulah, oraitt I’m fine, oklah, I redha atau apa2 yang menunjukkan dia suka dengan “pinangan” lelaki tersebut, maka ia sudah dianggap bertunang.

Jadi, bila dia dah jadi tunang orang tanpa sedar, bila ada lelaki yang meminang, hukumnya haram.

Kita orang melayu time nak tunang duk bawang rombongan 1 bas, bawak barang2 pinangan, itu sebenarnya adalah ADAT bukan dari segi hukum Islam. Dari segi hukum Islam, dah jatuh hukum tunang.

Persoalan ialah bila Ibu bapa xde. Mengikut hukum syarak, kalau perempuan itu sudah diizin pada syarak. Sebagai contoh, perempuan yang cerdik, yang baligh, yang blh berfikir, etc dia sudah dianggap bertunang.

Bila perempuan tu x menepati hukum syarak tersebut, contoh seperti x baligh lagi(baru darjah 3 mungkin), perempuan tu bodoh(x boleh berfikir), gila, dan sebagainya, makanya wali diperlukan untuk jawab “pinangan” tersebut.

To understand everything is to forgive everything

2010-11-14T23:18:00.003+08:00

Art often seems very exalted and, as you say, sacred. But the same can be said of love. And the only problem is that not everybody thinks about it in this way, and that those who do feel something of it, and let themselves be carried away by it, have to suffer so much, firstly because they are misunderstood, but quite as often because their inspiration is so often inadequate, or their work is frustrated by circumstances. One ought to be able to do two or even more things at once. And there are certainly times when it is far from clear to us that art should be something sacred or good.

Anyway, it's not a bad idea for you to become an artist, for when one has fire within oneself and a soul, one cannot keep bottling them up - better to burn than to burst, what is in will out. For me, for instance, it is a relief to do a painting, and without that I should be more miserable than I am.

Why I'm telling this, I don't know but the truth is I just wanna wish ... Happy birthday Doc.

Dosa yang lebih besar dari berzina & membunuh

2010-11-05T17:55:00.001+08:00

Pada suatu senja yang lengang, terlihat seorang wanita berjalan terhuyung-hayang. Pakaiannya yang serba hitam menandakan bahawa ia berada dalam dukacita yang mencekam. Tudung kepalanya menangkup rapat hampir seluruh wajahnya tanpa hias muka atau perhiasan menempel di tubuhnya. Kulit yang bersih, badan yang ramping dan roman mukanya yang ayu, tidak dapat menghapus kesan kepedihan yang telah meroyak hidupnya.

Ia melangkah terseret-seret mendekati kediaman rumah Nabi Musa a.s. Diketuknya pintu perlahan-lahan sambil mengucapkan salam. Maka terdengarlah ucapan dari dalam "Silakan masuk". Perempuan cantik itu lalu berjalan masuk sambil kepalanya terus menunduk. Air matanya berderai tatkala ia berkata, "Wahai Nabi Allah. Tolonglah saya. Doakan saya agar Tuhan berkenan mengampuni dosa keji saya." "Apakah dosamu wahai wanita ayu?" Tanya Nabi Musa a.s. terkejut. "Saya takut mengatakannya." Jawab wanita cantik. "Katakanlah jangan ragu-ragu!" Desak Nabi Musa.

Maka perempuan itupun secara ketakutan bercerita, "Saya... telah berzina". Kepala Nabi Musa terangkat, hatinya tersentak. Perempuan itu meneruskan, "Dari perzinaan itu saya pun...lantas hamil. Setelah anak itu lahir, langsung saya... cekik lehernya sampai... mati," ucap wanita itu seraya menangis sejadi-jadinya. Mata Nabi Musa pun berapi-api. Dengan muka berang ia mengherdik, "Perempuan celaka, pergi kamu dari sini! Agar siksa Allah tidak jatuh ke dalam rumahku kerana perbuatanmu. Pergi!"... teriak Nabi Musa sambil memalingkan muka kerana jijik.

Perempuan berwajah ayu dengan hati bagaikan kaca membentur batu hancur luluh segera bangkit dan melangkah surut. Dia menangis terangguk-angguk dan keluar dari dalam rumah Nabi Musa. Ratap tangisnya amat memilukan. Ia tak tahu harus ke mana lagi hendak mengadu. Bahkan dia tak tahu ke manakah kakinya untuk melangkah. Bila seorang Nabi saja sudah menolaknya, bagaimana pula manusia lain bakal menerimanya? Terbayang olehnya betapa besar dosanya, betapa jahat perbuatannya.

Sepeninggalannya, Malaikat Jibril turun mendatangi Nabi Musa. Sang Ruhul Amin Jibril lalu bertanya, "Mengapa engkau menolak seorang wanita yang hendak bertaubat dari dosanya? Tidakkah engkau tahu dosa yang lebih besar daripadanya?" Nabi Musa terperanjat. "Dosa apakah yang lebih besar dari kekejian wanita penzina dan pembunuh itu?" Maka Nabi Musa dengan penuh rasa ingin tahu bertanya kepada Jibril. "Betulkah ada dosa yang lebih besar daripada perempuan yang hina itu?" "Ada!" jawab Jibril dengan tegas. "Dosa apakah itu?" tanya Musa yang kian keliru. "Orang yang meninggalkan solat dengan sengaja dan tanpa menyesal. Orang itu dosanya lebih besar daripada seribu kali berzina".

Mendengar penjelasan ini Nabi Musa kemudian memanggil wanita tadi untuk menghadap kembali kepadanya. Ia mengangkat tangan dengan khusyuk untuk memohonkan keampunan kepada Allah untuk perempuan tersebut. Nabi Musa menyedari, orang yang meninggalkan sembahyang dengan sengaja dan tanpa penyesalan adalah sama saja seperti berpendapat bahawa sembahyang itu tidak wajib dan tidak perlu atas dirinya. Bererti ia seakan-akan menganggap remeh perintah Tuhan, bahkan seolah-olah menganggap Tuhan tidak punya hak untuk mengatur dan memerintah hamba-Nya. Sedangkan orang yang bertaubat dan menyesali dosanya dengan sungguh-sungguh bererti masih mempunyai iman di dadanya dan yakin bahawa Allah itu ada, di jalan ketaatan kepada-Nya. Itulah sebabnya Tuhan pasti mahu menerima kedatangannya.

Dalam hadis Nabi SAW disebutkan : Orang yang meninggalkan solat lebih besar dosanya dibandingkan dengan orang yang membakar 70 buah Al-Quran, membunuh 70 nabi dan bersetubuh dengan ibunya di dalam Kaabah. Dalam hadis yang lain disebutkan bahawa orang yang meninggalkan solat sehingga terlewat waktu, kemudian ia mengqadanya, maka ia akan disiksa dalam neraka selama satu huqub. Satu huqub adalah lapan puluh tahun. Satu tahun terdiri dari 360 hari, sedangkan satu hari di akhirat perbandingannya adalah seribu tahun di dunia.

Demikianlah kisah Nabi Musa dan wanita penzina dan dua hadis Nabi, mudah-mudahan menjadi pengajaran bagi kita dan timbul niat untuk melaksanakan kewajiban solat dengan istiqomah (berterusan). Amin.

Cat Art Festival

2010-11-04T17:43:00.007+08:00

Bangi Kopitiam

2010-11-04T16:53:00.007+08:00

June 14, 2010 – Another lepak place that I like but it’s been a while since I last go there after I’ve bumped into the most cruel person in the world there. And yes, of course that person try to look away but according to Dear – Sebok aje nak jelling jelling pandang sini gak! Hahahhahhaa… I don’t care and I don’t wanna know.

This was before I bumped into that Monster. Manuasia yang bertutur lembut, yang berperawakan sopan tetapi mempunyai hati yang sgt penuh dgn hasat dengki dan iri hati. Yang mempunyai perasaan yang sgt teruk even towards keluarganya sendiri. Mana ada orang maki mak ayah kan? Hmmmm… But yes, dia sampai hati and sanggup buat. Dgn adik beradik jangan cakap, cerita buruk saja yang keluar. So, kalau dgn keluarga sendiri pon dia bleh buat cenggitu – apatah lagi kita yang takde pertalian darah dgnnya. Rahsia kengkawan pon semua tak dijaga… Hmmmmm, semoga Tuhan beri hidayah kepadanya suapaya menjadi seorang manusia yang lebih baik. At least, match dgn luarannya. Amin.

Ok, tak yah da cakap pasal org yang tak bawa faedah ni. So, here some photo o share with. My out ing utk yang ke seribu kali ke tempat ni. Dari makan, borak, sampai tak tahu nak buat apa, main camera je la. =)

ellleeehhh, forever tanak ambik gambo! *nyampah*

Aksi-aksi perasan chumel saya! Hahhahahahahha...

Oh ya, before that I went to meet Aizat Tarmizi. Alhamdulillah, my artwork ada masuk dalam Zine sampahkarat #3 ni. Hehhehehe, janji 3 artwork but dia tak perasan da termissed 2. sabo je la budak ni but then again, alhamdulilah. better than none aite?!

Kesian AT, menggelabah jugak dia time tu. Panik giler! Hahhahahhaaa...

Wondermilks with Chris

2010-11-04T16:29:00.010+08:00

June 12, 2010 - I was sad that day.

Full of disappointments.
Loads with frustration.
And I just wanna go home and cry...

No transport - my car at home.
Chris, my dear darling friend since I was 17.
Came to fetch me - all the way from Bandar Sg Long.
I'm so touch! Thanks Dear...

She stop at Wondermilks and get my some cupcakes.
Yes, sweet things does makes my face smile again.
Even just for temporary - but at least.
I don't think of the pain or the hurts - for a moments.

Thanks Chris, you know me so well.

Arrausyah!

2010-11-04T16:03:00.008+08:00

June 11, 2010 - Another makan place yang mesti menjadi kunjungan at least once a month – Arrausyah! Memang best makanan Arab yang disajikan disini. This is our [me & Dear] hang out place. Sampai kelaparan [as usual la kitorang ni], then makan sampai nak pinsan, borak borak lelama sikit kasi perut yang ketat tu longgar sikit [err, more like sampai seluar leh button balik] then baru la tahu nak cari jalan pulang.

Yang kali ni, kitorang serbu sebab lambat sangat nak beratur ambil makan kat umah orang kawen. Da la jauh umah owang kawen tu tapi aku temankan gak Dear sebab tu umah kawan satu opis dia and this invitation only to those close friends aje katenyer… Malam time tu, kitorang konvoi la dgn satu kete lagi and sampai je sana – hujan pun turun la tahap renyai renyai then cam nak lebat. Diorang buat buffet style tapi tak buat 2 island. So, Apalagi – panjang la mereka mereka yang kelaparan tu beratur.

Kitorang tak beratur sebab confirm balik meja [err, kalau ada lagi seat la kan] da basah dek ujan. So, piker punya piker – kitorang pakat gerak. Salam pengantin and cabut! Zusssss! Terus ke Arrausyah… Agak pelik la jugak cuz tetiba je kiorang yg agak well dress ni ada kat sana. Cam nampak janggal la jugak but What The Hell kan? Perut da buat concert heavy metal da ni. Tadi masih boleh handle lagi – baru buat konsert Keroncong untuk Ana.

Muka mereka mereka yang balik umah owang kawen kelaparan!

Ha! Hambek ko!!! Order bersungguh sungguh ni... Habis lak tu! *gosh*

Happy je memasing bila da abis makan kan? Terus muka ada kaler balik - bak kata Bebear pun. *wink*

Paddington House of Pancake

2010-11-04T15:17:00.010+08:00

June 10, 2010 - Lately, da tak banyak lepak makan or minum kat luar atas sebab sebab yang tak dapat dielakkan. But this place, memang la best! So hari tu – yang telah sekian lamanya tak hapdet blog ni – saya dan lagi 2 teman [Horlick & Melo] pon melepak la makan tahap orang kebuluran yang kekeburan ke Paddington House of Pancake. Thanks to Fiona & hris for introducing this place to me. Sejak pegi sekali tu, da terus jadi berkali kali tahap mengidam setiap hari. Hehhehhehhe… Here some photos yg sempat kitorang ambil hari tu. You guys should try as this place is very nice, the food is good and affordable too!

Horlick yang forever party pooper bila sampai bab ambil gambo.

Me & melo yang makan tahap tak pandang kiri kanan telah berjaya melicinkan semua hidangan yang tetiba terhidang itu. Ceh!! Tahap I Dream of Jeannie lak bunyinya.

Now you see... Poooffff! Now you don't! *hahahah*

Da kenyang, kitorang gerak gi main pool pulak. sangat suka la main game ni tapi tak selalu gak dapat main cuz tak ramai yg suka main. Melo, she's good and I like to play with her. Tapi kalau main ngan Horlick, confirm susah nak emmang cuz dia main sangat la selowwwww - then I lost interest.

Hhehhehe... Memasing ngan gaya yang tersendiri. Cewahhhhh!

Incomplete

2010-11-04T07:38:00.001+08:00

Some nice lyric to share and start my day and continue my blog that has been long due...

One day I'll find relief
I'll be arrived and I'll be a friend to my friends who know how to be friends
One day I'll be at peace
Ill be enlightened and I'll be married with children and maybe adopt
One day I will be healed
I will gather my wounds forge the end of tragic comedy

I have been running so sweaty my whole life
Urgent for a finish line
And I have been missing the rapture this whole time
Of being forever incomplete

One day, my mind will retreat, and I'll know god and I'll be constantly one with her night dusk and day
One day I'll be secure, like the women I see on their 30th anniversaries

Ever unfolding
Ever expanding
Ever adventurous and torturous
But never done

One day, I will speak freely
I'll be less afraid and measured outside of my poems and lyrics and art
One day I will be faith-filled
I'll be trusting and spacious authentic and grounded and whole

The day before Raya...

2010-09-24T19:05:00.009+08:00

This year Raya tak meriah cam selalu, meriah infact lagi ramai datang berbanding selalu sebab Mom sakit. Sangat penat!!! Tapi bukan nak complain or buat tak ikhlas Cuma cakap apa yang dirasa. Mom still can’t walk. Sikit sikit tu da oleh la, pakai tongkat. Da tak on whell chair lagi, Alhamdulillah. Kesian dia, da 3 bulan tak kemana. Not even ke dapo. Bedroom, living room and bathroom. Itu pon selow selow je... Bulan puasa tu hari pon, 10 hari saya dok Melaka dok siapkan buka puasa and sahur sekali. Beriya-iya saya dok memasak. Buka lain, sahur lain - da kalah kan chef da ni. Dari local, sampai la western saya dok layankan. Penat tu, memang la penat tapi seronok tgk mom, Daddykins and my Bro makan beriya cuz maybe sebab da lama tak makan masakan umah. Ye la, dok tapau je hari-hari. *sayu* Rasa da boleh bukak restoran da lepa sni. Hahhahahah!!!

So, raya ni sayalah yang buat semua benda sampai nak pinsan… Tapi Alhamdulillah, Daddykins around dan sangat banyak gak nolong. Kalau tak tolong pun, dia temankan kat dapo tu. Sampai je 2 days before Raya tu, both of us dgn mak yang ada sekali sambil dok arah itu ini. Start with Daddykins lap sume kipas yang ada kat umah tu, me sapu lantai, then he mopped floor. Pastu, sahur and subuh. Daddykins da letih, dia tido dulu – ciyan dia, habis kat luar umah dia da kemas semua. Tu tak masuk dalam lagi. I sambung turunkan langsir and gantikan yang baru. Pastu baru tido.

Bangun je, terus mandi and masak. Ye la, esoknya da Raya! So, mom potong bawang, siang daging semua kat dining table tu and saya yang gigih ini lah mula memasak dgn berkobar kobar dan panic jugak. Ye la, mana pernah masak banyak benda in big potion utk Raya lak tu! Huish… Kalau termasin ke, tetawo ke (boleh lagi nak tambah garam kan), terhangit ka, terhangus ka – pastu sedara mara dan rakan taulan yang bermulut laser datang makan. Ha! Mau saya lak yang jadi lauk kang!!! *haruuu*

Start at 3pm, start masak rendang daging, sambil tu buat sambal kacang, last paru goreng kicap cili padi and last rending ayam. Berhenti masak untuk berbuka. Buka semua beli je today, da sempat la nak masak. Lepas buka, da star prepared semua barang untuk takbir malam nanti. Keluarkan cawan la, piring la, sudu and jug. As usual buat fruit cocktail, then serve brownies, kueh raya, grapes and candy! (ameh gambo tahun lepas aci tak sebab tahun ni memang tak banyak gambo pun sebab sgt sibuk ke depan ngan ke dapo). Ni, gambo Mom masak last year. Masa upload ni, tgk pon da kecuh da. *slurp*

Da abis takbir, sambung masak lodeh pulak. Ayam da ok, Cuma termasin la pulak! *alahai* And rendang daging still lom cukup empuk. Yang pasti, semua tu siap masak da almost midnight., hmmmm - ke lepas midnight? *lupo da amb onih* Mak aiiii!!! Kaki punya lenguh, tuhan je yang tahu. Ye la, dapo tu punya la beso. Mom kat dry kitchen, me masak at wet kitchen, mau kurus banyak saya hari tu. Ngan jalan jauh, ngan berdiri dan yang terpenting – membakar lemak masa masak tu dek api. So, inilah hasil masakan saya tu. Err, sila la abaikan dapo yang comot tidak berkemas/lap tu. Sangat tak sempat.

Tapi yang bestnya, Daddykins offered to basuh all the cawan and piring masa takbir tadi. So, saya pon Apalagi, horay je la! Temankan dia masa dia basuh semua tu – saya makan la tombong giant yang dia simpankan siang tadi. Oh ya, petang tadi Daddykins belah, mesin kelapa dan perah santan senbanyak 9 biji ye untuk semua masakan saya tu! *terror sgt nih* Lepas da abis dia cuci semua cawan dan pring tu, kitorang pun makan tombong bersama sama. Hhehehhehehe… Dia layankan aje anak pompuan dia yang bertuah sorang ni.

Selamat Hari Raya & maaf zahir batin semua!!! Nak jemput datang makan, da bis da pon. Tapi kalau call tu, boleh aja masak untuk korang. Saya kan suka masak… ngee*

Raya Prep!

2010-09-23T18:54:00.003+08:00

Wahh! Da 2 minggu kita raya ya? Hmmmm… Guess what, I still tak beraya ke mana pon. Not even 1 house yet. But tomorrow I’m going to the first house – my client’s house, then off to berkaraoke with friends. Hahhahaha!!!! Nak merelease apa yang terbuku kat dalam jiwa ni. Cehhh! But before that, nak kena buat kerja dulu... Sunday another open house that I must go to. Next week weekend, memang berlambak open house nak kena pegi. Ke Nilai la, Sepang and Putrajaya. Ha! Hambek ko… Beraya la sampai pinsan. Makan la nanti sampai pecah perut, borak la sampai abihtopik and gelak la sampai lebih 3 harakat. *gulp*

Preparation for Raya pun ala kadar je sebenarnya. Ye la, baju da pon saya beli 5 pasang masa kat HCM tu hari. 2 kurung utk my lil bro’s wedding and 1 tempah utk Reception umha Iu. 1 kurung utk Raya cuz ada 1 lagi tempah kat Nyoya and 2 Vietnamese Suit yang selalunya akan dipakai masa raya ketiga dan empat. Tapi tahun ni, pakai baju raya untuk memasak dan membasuh pinggan je la ye. Hohohohooo…

Kasut and bag Raya, ada tahun ni. Percaya tak, sepanjang tahun ni lom beli kasut ngan beg lagi… Tak sempat pon ya, takde sebab nak beli pon iya. So, apalagi mengambil kesempatan la saya ni beli kasut dan handbag. Yang best tu, ada orang sponsor 1 pasang untuk saya! *Yayy*

And I bought a pair untuk dia jugak. Yang kelakar tu, masa cari kasut dia - saya suda jato chenta pada pandang pertama masa nampak kasut tu but dia tak suka. Cari punya cari (da la shopping tahap pompuan, sangat lembab cari barang – semua pon tak suka, yak berkenan), at last ambil juga yang tu. Hhahaahha… I loves the texture, velvety pastu ada gimau punya pattern lagi. Chummel! Thank you Shah for the shoe. *Yayy* Laaa, si Bob lak yang excited tgk semua barang tu!

Am I Autism?

2010-09-06T02:43:00.005+08:00

After delivering my hamper today to client. I went for sahur with Dear at Wangsa Walk. As usual, we talk but tonight I am more a listener than the talker. From one topic to another and then to this topic - which she said someone told her that she might be suffering from Autism and that means, she's an Autistic. When she describe what it is Autism and how she came across with some test from those book she read in Kinokuniya KLCC - she is one of them and when she describe to me what is it and this and that - I got interested to take the test cuz I think I have those symptoms. So I goggled tonight and did the test.

I took the first test here and I scored 35. *gosh* I've tried goggled other site that provide the test but they all came up with this same test and I re-take. Guess what, the 2nd time it got higher - 38! *toink toink*

Psychologist Simon Baron-Cohen and his colleagues at Cambridge's Autism Research Centre have created the Autism-Spectrum Quotient, or AQ, as a measure of the extent of autistic traits in adults. In the first major trial using the test, the average score in the control group was 16.4. Eighty percent of those diagnosed with autism or a related disorder scored 32 or higher. The test is not a means for making a diagnosis, however, and many who score above 32 and even meet the diagnostic criteria for mild autism or Asperger's report no difficulty functioning in their everyday lives. Below, How to interpret you score:-

0-10 Low
11-22 Average (most women score about 15 and most men score about 17)
23-31 above average
32-50 Very high (most people with Asperger Syndrome or high functioning autism score about 35)
50 Maximum

Then I came across this : Asperger syndrome: obsessive attention to detail, social awkwardness, and some difficulty relating to other people. This sound SO FAMILIAR! Hmmmm... So, am I an alien now? No wonder Bebear said I'm an alien...

Well, more about Autism here.

Time Alone

2010-09-05T08:48:00.007+08:00

Whoaaa!!! da lama gila tak buka blog ni. Err, ada la buka but just to listened to my playlist. No time to update - err, more like no mood to update actually. But today after editing my artwork blog, I do feel like changing the look for this blog too. Plus, the new design template are way much easier to use. So, here you go - the new look for this blog. Still thinking about the header - no idea yet. Let it be for mean time. I think it's a bit messy with the background and all but as I said, just temporary until I fully satisfied with everything.

Ok, today I'm alone at home. Syah went to her mama's place to break fasting with her big family. Plus it's mama's birthday today. She invited me to join but i decline. Just not up for it yet... So, I stayed home and start updating my artwork blog and now - this. Starting from today, I'll be freaking busy until end of October. Tonight I have 2 deliveries for my hamper. Then off to sahur with Dear. Tomorrow I have another 2 hamper deliveries and meeting En. Al. Drop by at post office to send the other set of artwork for Lee. Tuesday night, brownies delivery and Wednesday too. Had to leave for Melaka early as I have to drop 15 packs at Seremban. Got to help my mom to change curtain, sweep and mop floor as soon as I arrived cuz the following day I'll be super busy cooking rendang and ketupat in the afternoon. Later in the evening have to prepare for Takbir... Gosh!

My bro wedding will be in October. So, this Raya - while Dad go to distribute the wedding invitation. Me and mom have to start packing for the door gift. I have to start decorating the Dulang Hantaran, the wedding room and so on. End of October - closing date for Penang Art Competition. I hope I have time to complete the artwork cuz beside wanting to join and win the competition - this is an opportunity to go to Penang and meet Faisal Admar & Keith again. I'm so looking forward actually.

Then end of the year, on my birthday month - we've (me, TS, Boy, Syah and Shah) planned to go to Melaka for ikan bakar, Jonker Walk then hit JB and Singapore. So, Insya-Allah - Universal Studio, here we come!!!

Oh ya, I'm going to start work for TS album already. Designing the cd and the album's cover. And insya-Allah, designing his merchandise too!. Insya-Allah, hopefully all went well.

Heart for Art Ramadhan Special

2010-09-04T09:16:00.005+08:00

Alhamdulilah, the response for this last minute project are good I must say. Didn't really aspect that I can sell any. With Raya coming, people are busy preparing for the celebration. But to my surprise, I've sold close to 20 pieces on the first day I've published it on Facebook - Alhamdulillah. All artwork has been posted, just left another 3 sets with me ready to be collected or maybe post later.

Since I've sold quite a few pieces for this last few month - my walls were quite empty I must say. After the Srikandi event especially. So, last night - I've 'filled-up' all my walls back. Err, not all but most of my walls. Of course with Shah's help. Thank you Shah! *hugs* I'll post the Srikandi Event update soon - slowly but surely.

Till then, happy fasting!

My Lolita - Lola!

2010-07-09T12:38:00.010+08:00

Wahhhhh!!! It's been a very long time since I last post something here. And yes, today I'm going to upload some photos and of course with some stories here. I have a lots of things in my busy schedule but today - I'm just tired to think about anything and just want to blog. *tee hee*. Lets start with this recent event, which is last night. And later with other stuff that I've been doing lately... I went to Uptown Kota Damansara last night to collect my Cerruti watch for repair from Abang there. He's good, I mean really good. He can repair almost any watch. Send my Gucci & CK before to the retail outlet but they want RM750 for my Gucci and RM350 for my CK but at this Abang, he only charged me less than RM500 for both watches. So, I send my Cerutti too which supposed to cost me RM300 outside but only RM120 at this Abang... And it's all original parts! *awesome*

Ok, back to my new pet... This wasn't a plan trip so Abang is not there. While waiting we browse at this Pet Booth, where I bought my Boo & Bee last time. Thinking of getting a new Bee since Boo is alone now. Well, they don't have any Fighting fish today but my eyes caught at this 'Teddy Bear Rabbit-RM150". Not an ordinary rabbit but rare species. Kakak who sold that to us said this is a Hotot rabbit. I really loves them, especially the one in light grey. Thought of getting it some other time as I’m not sure where shall I put her but Horlick bought it for me as she said my eyes spark “ada keluar bintang bintang, bulan pun ada when you looked at her” and yes, I have her in my house now. Err, in living room for the time being as she’s so small and cuddly!

We finally named her Lola aka Lolita. That was after Siti, Sara, Lollipop and entah apa lagi la on the way home. I loves her so much! Thanks Horlick for this great gift!!! Tonight we plan to get a bigger cage, food (kakak don’t have a smaller size for her yesterday and ask us to come today to get it) and shampoo. Horlick also suggested to bring her to clinic to get an advice from Veterinary also to Pet’s Groom at Uptown Damansara for bathing. I’m so looking forward!!!

I’ve Google and I found this. Dwarf Hotot Rabbit - Eyes of the Fancy - Family: Leporidae. The Dwarf Hotot rabbit can be quite entertaining, they are charming and playful with people and they love to play with simple toys! Dwarf Hotot (pronounced "Oh-Toe" or sometimes "Hoe-Toe") Rabbit is also known as the "Eyes of the Fancy". These little rabbits are bound to catch not only the eyes of onlookers, but also their hearts. Though they are mostly all white, the thin band of black fur around their eyes give them a distinct, unique appearance. Their small size adds to their charm and practicality. They require a smaller living area than other rabbits, and are easily held in one's hand. Their affectionate, playful temperament is another quality that makes the Dwarf Hotot an excellent choice for pet owners. These adorable little creatures are good with children and make wonderful pets. Like any other rabbit breed, individual Dwarf Hotots have individual personalities, and will enjoy their attention in different ways. Most love to be held and petted and some simply enjoy hopping around on their owner's lap, but for the most part this breed enjoys affection and they are quite affectionate in return.

Happy Father's Day!

2010-06-20T04:27:00.002+08:00

What Makes a Dad

God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so,

He called it ... Dad

Happy Father's Day to the world greatest Dad,
My Daddykins - Zakaria Othman *muwah muwah*

Boo & Bee

2010-06-03T04:37:00.005+08:00

Bought this Fighting Fish on April 16, 2010.
I named them Boo & Bee.
Horlick helped me to feed them cuz if I feed them sure mati the next day.
But once a while I still gave and told Horlick, kira macam kenduri la for Boo & Bee.

Yesterday, I had a rough day.
Been thinking, been shouting, been fighting, been crying, been sad and worst sick.
And today I saw Bee dead.
I didn't do anything about him yet till this very second.
I regretted getting them into my life.
Cuz I already knew, I can never have them.
All of them died when I'm sad.
And yes, I'm fucking sad these last few days.

I don't feed them anymore.
And Horlick is not here and will never be here again to feed them.
Sorry Bee and Boo - I've failed!
But thank you for taking some sadness and sharing those sorrow with me.
I will not, ever and ever go buy any kind of fish, EVER again!

Double Trouble Concert

2010-06-03T04:20:00.005+08:00

May 1, 2010

Tahu da citer ni da basi... Tapi pedulik hapa saye! Ini belog saye. So, sukati saya la nak citer apa... Yes, it's about Double Trouble Concert masa awal bulan May ari tu. Hahhaahhahaha!!! da memacam citer da ada tapi ni baru nak upload. Maklumlah, saya ni kan busy orangnya. Nak pegi ni pon tak plan sebenarnya, last minute my ex-staff kat Edorey dulu ajak join. So, apalagi?! Ikut je la plus tix pun murah. I had fun I must say.

Pegi naik cab je, dah tu kena tipu sket ngan Pokcek tu tapi takpe lah kan, rezei dia hari tu. Nak di pendekkan cerita saya yang tak pernah pendek ni, saya terpaksa menapak dari atas Bukit Damansara tu sampai la ke entrance dimana mereke mereke telah pon menunggu sya dgn tenang. Then, masuk ikut amat ngan Sakinah - Alhamdulillah dapat spot yang best! Kat tepi tangga! dekat giler ok?! tapi disebabkan kesengalan saya tidak mencaskan bateri camera saya - maka tak banyak la gambonya. Kalu ade pun, tak clear! Maklum la konsert lompat lompat, rawk la katekan... Bukannya konsert Richard Claderman! hahhahahaaa...

Balik tu, Horlick ambil. Baek betul hati budak tu kan? *wink* Then we go makan at Devi's Hartamas. Sakinah & Mamat join later. Rinie & Wan tak join. Ye la, ada ke patot masa konsert tu dia boleh main sms ngan si Sakinah kata boring. Da ngantuk bagai. Padahal stadium tu da berdentam dentum! Haiya!!!

Crazy Weekend with Daddykins!!

2010-05-30T03:26:00.000+08:00

Sampai je malam tu, lepak with Daddykins teman dia layan tennis. Sambil borak borak. Then he told me Mom masak naik lemak ari ni. Whoaaaa!!! Apa lagi, berlari la saya ke dapo. Padahal perot da penoh da ni ngan berkeping kepong pizza tadi. *haish* Lepas makan and borak, daddykins pon da ngantuk. I got to email my 2 pcs of artwork to participate in the ARTRIANGLE 2010 Exhibition, which will be held at the National Art Gallery, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on 7 JULY - 7 AUGUST 2010. I've submitted Stupefy II and Epiphany I. And today, I've received reply from them - tak berjaya nampaknya kali ni. Sigh... Takpe, cuba lagi lain kali!

Hi Fai Zakaria,

Greetings there. On behalf of the House of Matahati, I'd just like to first and foremost extend our deepest thanks for your support through the submission of your artwork to us for the consideration in the upcoming Artriangle Exhibition. It is to our delight to find a considerable amount of commendable works and we are certainly proud to have such talents in Malaysia.

Saying so nonetheless, we unfortunately still have to conduct the final selection due to exhibition space constraints. And with regards to that, it is with deep regrets for us to inform you that your submission has not been selected. We do sincerely apologize and hope that you'd still try again perhaps next season.

Regardless, we sincerely want to thank you for your patience and support once again and do wish you all the very best in your future and career as an artist in Malaysia. Do have a significant year ahead!

Sincerely,
Candice Ng
Artriangle 2010.

Sangat sedih sebenarya... Tapi tak pe, bulan depan nak submit to Terengganu pulak. Mana tahu, kali ni dapat lak kan? Insya-Allah. So, lepas dok email tu - dok berblog-hopping and buat research pasal next month punya competition. Nak cari idea sikit, baca page ni, page tu, sampai la kol 7.30am. went toilet saw mom tgh mengaji. I pon dok lepak borak ngan dia. Borak punya borak sampai la almost 9am. Then ajak Daddykins temankan spray artwork yang nak gantung kat umah tu kat luar. masa spray tu ada lak mamat indon ni dok tanya itu ini. Rupanya dia pon artis kat sana... banyak gak idea and cakap benda benda pasal artwork ni dia tahu. Ala, lupa lak nama dia. Da siap semua, me & Daddykins pon start hang all those 3 artworks. And satu lagi tu patut gi gantung kat mom's house kat kampung tapi petang tu tak sempat lak cuz I lambat bangun. Da gantung artwork, dok vacuum living room and titon at about 1pm.

sedar da jam 5pm, bergegas cuz nak ke Kg Jawa to get charcoal yang Kim si tukang jahit saya tu and handkerchieve for myself. sempat pon buat semua and siap sempat lagi tapau Air Lihan & mata kucheng tu for my family and Horlick yang demam kat KL. Balik umah, lepak jap, mamam, borak ngan Eppy, Mom and Daddykins. Later went back to KL at about 9.30pm after eppy fetched Iu, my bakal sis-in-law. Sampai Kl at 10.45pm and siap hantar Iu to Ampang at 11.15pm. Arrived home later at midnight... pastu, semua da tak best da sampai la hari ni. *haih*

Crazy Weekend with The Beruangs!!

2010-05-29T02:55:00.001+08:00

Lama da tak hapdet belog ni. So, marilah menghapdet belog beramai ramai. Hehehehe... Btw, rasanya tak lama lagi nak diprivatekan belog sya ni sebab banyak sangat yang dok ngata belakang pasal belog saya ni... Yang sebok baca sebab kepoh nak tahu apa cerita terkini pon ada. Tengok la cemana, masih dalam pertimbangan. So, this is my update pasal my last crazy weekend.Banyak tol jalan bulan ni nanti. I'm so looking forward to all this planned trip. Melaka, JB, Penang, Cherating and Ho Chi Minh... Walaupun ada 1 tu yang macam akan cancel je last minit but hapa aku pedulik. I'll definately going, even just by myself.

Well, this this last weekend punya trip. Balik Melaka nak jumpa my family, then ajak Bebear datang Melaka as she wants to meet my dad to ask for some advise and help. Disebabkan Casper & Mumus ada, semua pon dihangkot sekali. They came to my house at 8pm after sejam I sampai, straight to Alai Ikan Bakar. Mom and Dad joining us later. We had fun I must say, eventho Casper masih malu-malu. Hhahahhhahha!!! *chait* Ha! Sekarang da siap offer nak teman to cherating & Ho Chi Minh pulak. Sabo Cas, sabo... Sesatu kita tackle dulu ok? Seperti makan kat The Curve bila awak balik nanti.

Balik lepas makan malam tu, gi hangkot Faisal Admar yang datang with his family from Penang. Ingat nak gi Jonker Walk but da tutup cuz it's after midnight already. Gi la Banda Hilir tapi semua pon tak tahan lak buang air kecil. Toilet pompuan lak tutup! Pergghhh! rayu punya rayu, senyum punya senyum, dapat la jugak kami semua masuk toilet lelaki yang nasib baik da dibersihkan cuz da nak tutup tu. Tapi yang kelakar, baru je nak gi jalan, hujan pon turon! Apalagi? Bermula la sessi bercam-whoring la kat situ and inilah hasilnya tapi memang gelak je sampai jaw cramp! Then lepas tu gi makan ayam golek roti John before send Faisal Admar balik.

And off to JB! ni plan memang tetiba... Mereka mereka itu mengbithnap saya ini. Dan saya pon merelakan diri ini dibitchnapped kan. singgah rumah ambil beg, dropped Faisal Admar kat Ayer Keroh and we continue our journey to JB. Borak sepanjang jalan ngan Bebear, yang lelain Si Casper & Mumus terlentok kat kosi memasing. Sampai JB at 5.30am. Tido.

Esoknya bangun, Bebear gi kerja. We belasah tgk tv sampai da dekat kol 3pm baru keluar cari makan. Ambil Bebear kat opis and straight to my fav asam peday place. Anta Bebear balik to opis and we went to Holiday Plaza. I borong loads of DVd, sampai 49pcs! loads of hair accessories and of course the cute T-Shirts. 5 for me and 2 for Horlick... Balik malam tu, my perut still sakit. Biasala kan prang pompuan... Cramps and migraine since yesterday, terlelap jap kat tgh umah sambil tunggu Dominos sampai. Mumus gerak dulu cuz she kena lapor diri kat Rompin keesokkan harinya and her sister-in-law pon nak tumpang balik KL. Me and Casper gerak about 10ish.

Overall, I had fun! Alhamdulillah. Lama da tak buat benda cenggini. My last trip was to Penang and yes, I am damn freaking tired with macam macam hal yang jadi since early this year. Not a very good the first half year I had but alhamdulillah, banyak gak hikmah yang ada disebaliknya.

Open Show 2010

2010-05-25T04:53:00.006+08:00

May 25, 2010

Ni pon cerita da lapok... tapi nak post jugak sebab banyak gambar! Hehehhehehe... And today's theme is pink! I've submitted 'Insanity I' for this year Shah Alam Gallery open Show 2010 competition. The artwork is in pink, purple, silver and glitters! i wore pink blouse and so does Horlick, who wore pink shirt! Hehehe...

As usual, memang la berdebar debar and ada kupu kupu terbang terbang dalam perot tapi ku gagahi juga diri ini untuk hanta karya ku. I brought 2 pcs eventho it's already stated in the form only 1 artwrk per person. *chait* Hapada! yang best tu, degil jugak... Bawak jugak both - utk sedapkan hati sendiri. Sambil berdoa doa moga boleh la submit 2 artwork pakai 2 borang tapi tak berjaya lah ya. Takpe la, banyak lagi competition lain yang ada kot? *erk*

Lepas hantar artwork, gi umah Horlick's mom. Fetched her go makan kat Sari Ratu Subang Parade. guess what?! sangat la tak sedap ye. So, tak yah la bercita cita nak gi makan kat situ. Tempat yang lain tak cuba lak lagi. Hmmmm... Food not as sedap as masa kat Jakarta dulu. Sangat frust! =( Takpelah, nanti gi Jakarta boleh la singgah kat sana. But then, kat sini ada jual ikan Gurame goreng... sampai la jugak hajat di hati walaupun tak sesedap mana.

Hari tu sangat bosan. Horlick pun tgh tido. Apa lagi?! Mari ambil marker dan start menyonteng! Inilah padahnya kalau tertido kat umah saya masa saya bosan tak tahu nak buat apa, pas tu banyak idea nak nyonteng... Hehehhehee!!! Tapi yang kesiannya, Horlick alergic pulak dgn ink marker and pen tu. Habis merah merah and lepas da cuci pon ada lagi outline underneath skin dia. Malam tu dia ada offer to continue conteng cuz I asked her to draw a wings kat belakang tu tapi da memerah tu, tak sampai lak ati saya ni. So, here it is!!!

Esok tu sambung lagi la ye lepas mangon tido tu! Hehehhehehhee... Best betul! Ngan muke sembab saya dok menyonteng *tee hee* I really wish dia tak allergic with the ink, pasti da selamat berkepak da belakang dia. hohohoho...

2010-05-21T05:23:00.004+08:00

April 27, 2010

Da lama sgt plan nak tuko tyre, baru hari ni sempat nak tuko. Da suruh Daddykins survey, my bro survey, Syah survey… At last, gi tuko kat Shah Alam. Bridgestone Turanza as per my lil bro recommendation. Lama gak nak tunggu. At first bagi harga lain, then kena tambah lagi RM10/pc as they’re the new stock. Hmmm, apa apa je la. Da tunggu lama sangat. Nak harap orang, semua pon kenabuat sendiri last sekali. Manusia ni memang manis di bibir aje! Well, not all la kan? *wink* Sementara menunggu tu, Apalagi – main kamera je la. Abis semua gambo orang kat situ I snap. Hehhehhehee… Alah, diorang pun terhibur gak sekali sekala kena kacau ngan aweks! Huhuhuhuuu… And of course, siapa lagi kalau Bukan Si Horlick yang dok meneman. Thank you so much Horlick! *hugs*

Then after that, patut jumpa Si Shasha ngan Juwan pasal nak bagi my ad to a lot in dalam magazine diorang but postpone tu malam pulak, So, while waiting – kita pon singgah la umah Mama (Horlick’s mom). Makan la, borak la, lepak la… I suka lepak umah ni cuz rasa sangat welcome. Horlick’s mom really loves me *Yayy* Alhamdulillah. Then Shasha pon sms kata da ada kat opis. So, bergegas la kita ke sana. Tapi kan, pintu kete tokleh bukak la plak! Rupanya kena bang la pulak! Ai ya ya!!!! Dugaan sungguh la ni… Esok kena hantar gi ketuk la. Takan la nak dok melompat ikut tingkap or keluar ikut passenger side all the time? Sangat la tidak cool! *hmph* Dugaan ni… Sabo je la. God must have a bigger plan for me. Tak pon kata Liza, you excited sangat masa da tuoko tyre tadi. Ye la tu kot?!

Ibubapa Bukan Liabiliti

2010-05-18T17:55:00.001+08:00

PETIKAN : 'Nota Hati Seorang Lelaki' ( Pahrol Mohd Juoi )
Inilah cerita benar. Cerita benar seorang penulis yang Berjaya. Beginilah kisahnya...

Entahlah apa yang selalu bermain pada fikiran ayah. Apabila saya ingin pulang kembali ke kota, dia kerap minta duit. Seakan-akan mendesak.... " Ada duit? Minta ayah sedikit.."

Saya masih ingat waktu itu kehidupan saya terlalu sukar. Untuk mendapat seratus ringgit di dalam poket pada satu-satu masa pun payah. Kalau balik kampung selalunya duit yang ada hanya cukup-cukup tambang. Mujurlah, isteri dan anak-anak saya sudah faham. Alhamdulilah mereka 'sporting' dan tidak banyak meragam.

"Emak, ayah asyik minta duit. Bukan tak mahu bagi, tapi saya memang tak ada duit," Bisik saya kepada emak. Emak seperti biasa, berwajah selamba, sukar ditembak reaksinya. Bagilah beberapa yang ada," cadang emak pendek. "Takkan 5 ringgit?" Emak mengganguk.

Saya rasa bersalah untuk memberi ayah wang sebanyak itu. Apalah yang boleh dibeli dengan wang 5 ringgit....Tapi kerana tidak mahu menghampakan harapan ayah dan ikutkan cadangan emak, saya gagahi juga memberinya. Ayah selalunya tersenyum menerima pemberian saya. Tetapi yang mengejutkan ialah apabila kami sekeluarga berada dalam perut bas dalam perjalanan pulang ke kota. Di kocek anak saya sudah terselit wang sepuluh ringgit. Siapa yang bagi kalau bukan ayah? 10 tolak 5, saya masih 'untung' 5 ringgit. Geli hati mengenangkannya.

Begitulah selalunya tahun demi tahun. Apabila kami pulang ziarah ke kampung, saya akan memberi pemintaan ayah. Kengkadang terlupa, tetapi ayah akan selalu mengigatkan. Akhirnya, saya memang sediakan peruntukan khas untuk diberikan kepada ayah setiap kali pulang kampung. Kedudukan ekonomi saya yang masih goyah kekadang hanya mengizinkan wang dua ringgit untuk diberikan kepada ayah. Ironinya, ayah tetap dengan pemintaannya dan tetap tersenyum apabila menerima. Tidak kira berapa jumlahnya. Emak terus-terusan selamba. Saya masih sukar menandingi ketajaman rasa seorang isteri (emak) dalam memahami hati suaminya (ayah).

Begitupun setiap kali dalam perjalanan pulang, kocek anak saya akan jadi sasaran. Kekadang itulah duit pelengkap membeli tiket pulang. Ayah akan setiap memasukkan duit yang melebihi jumlah saya berikan kepadanya. Saya tidak mengambil masa lama untuk memahami apa maksud tersirat disebalik perlakuan ayah itu. Dia meminta wang pada saya bukan kerana 'tidak ada', tetapi dia ada sesuatu yang lebih besar ingin dicapainya atau disampaikannya.

Namun, secara bertahap-tahap buku tulisan saya semakin mendapat sambutan. Bukan itu sahaja, perniagaan yang saya mulakan secara kecil-kecilan semakin membesar. Kalau dulu kami pulang ke kampung dengan bas, tetapi selepas beberapa tahun saya pulang dengan kereta milik sendiri. Saya masih ingat komen ayah ketika saya pulang dengan kereta kecil Kancil milik kami sendiri.

"Nanti, besarlah kereta kamu ini...." ujur ayah senyum.

Apapun saya tetap memenuhi permintaan ayah setiap kali pulang ke kampung. Wang saya dahulukan kepadanya. Dan ayah juga konsisten dengan sikapnya, ada sahaja wang yang diselitkan dalam kocek anak saya.

" Eh tak payahlah ayah..." sekarang saya mula berani bersuara. Ekonomi keluarga sudah agak stabil. Malu rasanya mengambil duit ayah walaupun perantaraan pemberian datuk kepada cucunya. Saya tahu dan sedar, hakikatnya ayah hendak memberi kepada saya sejak dulu, tetapi sengaja atau tidak ingin saya merasa segan, duit diberi melalui anak.

"Kenapa, dah kaya?" usik ayah. Hendak tak hendak, duit dikocek anak tetap diselitkannya. Cuma sekarang bezanya, duit itu tidak lagi 'dikebas' oleh saya. Dan dalam hati, saya mula berasa senang kerana jumlah yang saya berikan kepada ayah, kini sudah melebihi apa yang mampu diselitkan ke kocek anak saya. Tidak semacam dulu lagi, duit pemberian ayah kepada anak saya sentiasa melebihi duit pemberian saya kepadanya.

Masin sungguh mulut ayah. Tidak sampai tiga tahun, kami bertukar kereta!. Di samping menulis, saya menjadi penerbit. Perniagaan semakin rancak. Oleh sebab bilangan anak bertambah dan keperluan kerja yang meningkat saya sudah membeli MPV utuk kegunaan harian. Anak-anak mula menjejak menara gading. Kehidupan semakin laju dan aktiviti semakin rancak. Namun sibuk sekalipun saya tetap pulang menziarahi ayah dan ibu. Anehnya ayah tetap memberi kepada anak saya walaupun kini saya telah dikenali sebagai korporat yang berjaya. Rupa-rupanya, ayah memberi bukan kerana kekurangan atau kelebihan kami, tetapi dia MEMBERI KERANA ALLAH. Mencontohi Allah al-Wahhab itu!

Anda ingin tah apa pesan penulis itu kepada saya? Ya, mari kongsi bersama :

" Kini aku benar-benar faham bahawa ibu ayah yang tua bukan beban dalam kehidupan di dunia, lebih-lebih lagi dalam kehidupan di akhirat. Mereka bukan 'liabiliti' tetapi sebenarnya aset untuk kita (walaupun istilah itu sebenarnya kurang atau tidak tepat kerana ibubapa bukan benda). Rugi betul siapa yang mempunyai ibu bapa yang telah tua tetapi mengabaikannya.

"memberi kepada ibu bapa hakikatnya memberi kepada diri sendiri. Walaupun itu bukan niat kita ketika memberi, tetapi percayalah rezeki berganda akan pulang kepada kita semula. DOA MEREKA MUSTAJAB. Harapan mereka kenyataan. Kasih mereka bekalan. Benarlah sepertimana sabda Rasulullah s.a.w, keredhaan Allah terletak kepada keredhaan ibu bapa."

Baiklah, inilah sebenarnya rahsia 'perniagaan' yang jarang-jarang diperkatakan oleh tokoh korporat. Juga tidak pernah ditulis dalam mana-mana buku perniagaan. Masih punya ibubapa? MEMBERILAH KEPADA MEREKA. Tidak ada? Tidak mengapa, memberilah kepada anak-anak anda. Tidak ada juga? Memberilah kepada sesiapa sahaja. Kita sentiasa berfikir untuk memberi. Memberi kepada orang lain bererti memberi kepada diri kita sendiri walaupun itu bukan maksud kita ketika mula memberi!

Rahsia Solat Awal Waktu

2010-05-14T19:00:00.003+08:00

Ditulis oleh Ustaz Zahazan

Setiap peralihan waktu solat sebenarnya menunjukkan perubahan tenaga alam ini yang boleh diukur dan dicerap melalui perubahan warna alam. Fenomena perubahan warna alam adalah sesuatu yang tidak asing bagi mereka yang terlibat dalam bidang fotografi.

Pada waktu Subuh alam berada dalam spektrum warna biru muda yang bersamaan dengan frekuensi tiroid yang mempengaruhi sistem metabolisma tubuh. Jadi warna biru muda atau waktu Subuh mempunyai rahsia berkaitan dengan penawar/rezeki dan komunikasi. Mereka yang kerap tertinggal waktu Subuhnya ataupun terlewat secara berulang-ulang kali, lama kelamaan akan menghadapi masalah komunikasi dan rezeki. Ini kerana tenaga alam iaitu biru muda tidak dapat diserap oleh tiroid yang mesti berlaku dalam keadaan roh dan jasad bercantum (keserentakan ruang dan masa) - dalam erti kata lain jaga daripada tidur. Disini juga dapat kita cungkil akan rahsia diperintahkan solat diawal waktu. Bermulanya saja azan Subuh, tenaga alam pada waktu itu berada pada tahap optimum. Tenaga inilah yang akan diserap oleh tubuh melalui konsep resonan pada waktu rukuk dan sujud. Jadi mereka yang terlewat Subuhnya sebenar sudah mendapat tenaga yang tidak optimum lagi.

Waktu Zuhur >Warna alam seterusnya berubah ke warna hijau (isyraq dhuha) dan kemudian warna kuning menandakan masuknya waktu Zohor. Spektrum warna pada waktu ini bersamaan dengan frekuensi perut dan hati yang berkaitan dengan sistem penghadaman. Warna kuning ini mempunyai rahsia yang berkaitan dengan keceriaan.. Jadi mereka yang selalu ketinggalan atau terlewat Zuhurnya berulang-ulang kali dalam hidupnya akan menghadapi masalah di perut dan hilang sifat cerianya. Orang yang tengah sakit perut ceria tak ?

Waktu Asar >Kemudian warna alam akan berubah kepada warna oren, iaitu masuknya waktu Asar di mana spektrum warna pada waktu ini bersamaan dengan frekuensi prostat, uterus, ovari dan testis yang merangkumi sistem reproduktif. Rahsia warna oren ialah kreativiti . Orang yang kerap tertinggal Asar akan hilang daya kreativitinya dan lebih malang lagi kalau di waktu Asar ni jasad dan roh seseorang ini terpisah (tidur la tu). Dan jangan lupa, tenaga pada waktu Asar ni amat diperlukan oleh organ-organ reproduktif kita

Waktu Maghrib >Menjelang waktu Maghrib, alam berubah ke warna merah dan di waktu ini kita kerap dinasihatkan oleh orang-orang tua agar tidak berada di luar rumah . Ini kerana spektrum warna pada waktu ini menghampiri frekuensi jin dan iblis (infra-red) dan ini bermakna jin dan iblis pada waktu ini amat bertenaga kerana mereka resonan dengan alam. Mereka yang sedang dalam perjalanan juga seelok-eloknya berhenti dahulu pada waktu ini (solat Maghrib dulu la.) kerana banyak interferens (pembelauan) berlaku pada waktu ini yang boleh mengelirukan mata kita. Rahsia waktu Maghrib atau warna merah ialah keyakinan, pada frekuensi otot, saraf dan tulang.

Waktu Isyak >Apabila masuk waktu Isyak, alam berubah ke warna Indigo dan seterusnya memasuki fasa Kegelapan. Waktu Isyak ini menyimpan rahsia ketenteraman dan kedamaian di mana frekuensinya bersamaan dengan sistem kawalan otak.. Mereka yang kerap ketinggalan Isyaknya akan selalu berada dalam kegelisahan. Alam sekarang berada dalam Kegelapan dan sebetulnya, inilah waktu tidur dalam Islam. Tidur pada waktu ini dipanggil tidur delta dimana keseluruhan sistem tubuh berada dalam kerehatan.

Selepas tengah malam, alam mula bersinar kembali dengan warna putih, merah jambu dan seterusnya ungu di mana ianya bersamaan dengan frekuensi kelenjar pineal, pituitari, talamus dan hipotalamus. Tubuh sepatutnya bangkit kembali pada waktu ini dan dalam Islam waktu ini dipanggil Qiamullail.

Begitulah secara ringkas perkaitan waktu solat dengan warna alam. Manusia kini sememangnya telah sedar akan kepentingan tenaga alam ini dan inilah faktor adanya bermacam-macam kaedah meditasi yang dicipta seperti taichi, qi-gong dan sebagainya. Semuanya dicipta untuk menyerap tenaga-tenaga alam ke sistem tubuh. Kita sebagai umat Islam sepatutnya bersyukur kerana telah di'kurniakan' syariat solat oleh Allah s.w.t tanpa perlu kita memikirkan bagaimana hendak menyerap tenaga alam ini. Hakikat ini seharusnya menginsafkan kita bahawa Allah s.w.t mewajibkan solat ke atas hambanya atas sifat pengasih dan penyayang-Nya sebagai pencipta kerana Dia tahu hamba-Nya ini amat-amat memerlukannya. Adalah amat malang sekali bagi kumpulan manusia yang amat cuai dalam menjaga solatnya tapi amat berdisiplin dalam menghadiri kelas taichinya .

Wassalam.

Another Artwork Sold!

2010-04-11T19:26:00.009+08:00

Alhamdulillah… Finally, they have found home. I miss my Serendipity II, Delirium I & III already… Da lama gak jual artwork ni but only yesterday berkesempatan memberikan pada tuan empunya badan. But overall, I had a very good day today.

Got myself a new skin care set by NuSkin. I’ve been using this product last time but due to susah nak gi beli, I’ve changed to Body Shop Vitamin C product. Ye lah, kalau gi memana and tertinggal – terjah shopping mall sure leh beli terus walau dimana pon saya berada *wink* Then off toWangsa Maju, had good lunch at Bangi Kopitiam. Off to Damansara Damai to meet Engku Zai and Orked Omar to pas artwork and collect payments. Went home, get change, send clotches to laundry and off to Box’s mom’s house for kenduri. From 8pm till 11ish. I had fun at her house. I loves her moms too as they loves me too*wink* Rsa best sangat semalam beramai-ramai kat kenduri umah dia. Lama da tak rasa besh gi rumah orang ni. Rasa really welcome! *Alhamdulillah*

Then gi umah Liz pulakm kawan Si Box ni. Ada ke patut orang tu bertunang sepuloh hari bulan, dia boleh ingat bulan sepuloh nanti *chait* Tetengah malam buta ni Si Box dera makcik tu suruh hiding makan bagai *haish* Lauk meang best, kalau tak kerana da melantak banyak mee goreng ngan pulut kuning tadi, mesti da makan sampai tikleh bangun da. Well, I had a really good time today. Really good *Alhamdulillah*

Jato Chenta Pandang Pertama

2010-04-09T19:01:00.005+08:00

Today takde buat apa, melangot kat Facebook. Dari satu artwork photo to another artwork photo and sampai la kat profile page Aizat Tarmizi… And terus jatuh chenta ngan artwork ‘Chained’ dia. So, gatal tangan… I asked what medium, size and price. Memula bagi medium and size anggaran cuz tak ingat, balik nanti baru check. Later bila bagi harga, saya terus cakap nak beli! Mak aiii… Biar betul!!! Kan? Dah la umah da penuh, still beli artwork orang lain lagi *wink*Ding, dong, ding, dong message – SOLD! Memang sangat tetarek hati saya ngan artwork ni. Then called Syah, she said she can accompany me *Yayy* So, set ngan Aizat midnight cuz Syah abis kerja kol 11pm. Lambat pulak si Syah ni, sementara melangok tunggu tu… Bercam-whoring la sendirian berhad kat dalam kete tu sampai la dia masuk kete. Then, gi cari bank and terus ke Bangsar.

Aizat pegi tengok Kata Luhur- sempena menyambut hari lahir yang ke 75 untuk YBhg Datuk A.Samad Said. Mempamerkan hasil karya beliau dalam bentuk lukisan & lakaran berjumlah hampir 100 buah. Rasa cam nak pegi tapi da janji nak keluar ngan Ude but last minit, dia cancel lak. Hmmm, expected! Sementara tunggu Aizat sampai, kitorang makan dulu. Not long after that, dia dan kawan dia, Hafeez sampai. Borak punya borak, pasal dia, pasal saya, pasal music, pasal art, pasal kerja, pasal band and memacam pasal…

Tibalah masanya nak tengok artwork ‘Chained’ tu! Whoaaa!!! Saya sangat suka lah ya! And I even bought their 2 copies of Keladak’s Demo. Kudos Aizat & Hafeez =) Aizat, keep up the good work and thanks for letting me to have this piece. I love it so much! Syah loves ‘Chained’ too and she said it’a very ‘dark’ artwork and yes, that’s why I loves it!!! *wink* After that terus balik umah, lepak tgk DVD. Minggu ni almost every night tgk DVD, best! I like her company *wink*

First Visit

2010-04-07T19:03:00.000+08:00

Last week, I’ve sold few pieces of artworks through Facebook Auction Sale. And today, Cik Siti Mahiran Abdul Hadi came to collect the artworks that she bought. And she’s the first visitor who came to visit my humble home after all the cleaning process *wink* While took her for ‘the tour’ to walk through all room and walls to show my artwork, I do feel like I’m working in a gallery! Hahhahaaa… Daddykins wants to leave but I asked him to stay for a while until Cik Siti came. Horlick left early to take her mom out for jalan-jalan. It’s her day off yesterday and today. She helped me to get some kueh to serve before she left. So sweet of you, thank you Horlick *ngee* Dad leave later after Cik Siti left and here I am, updating my blog while waiting for Horlick to come back =)

Oh ya, back to Cik Siti… She saw other artworks and was really impressed by it. She even reserved 1 artwork [Solitude] and inquiry about another 2 pieces [Rampage IV & Retrospective III. She saw Levity Collection which has been paid by Ms Mizi Hamzah and she kept asking herself and me, kenapa I tak perasan yang ni ya? Well, if Ms Mizi Hamzah not interested to collect them – I will be happy to sell them to you and refund her money, I said. Have to get back to her on the other 3 pieces then. So now, Just I & II and Retrospective I has found home already. Alhamdulillah.

Project Completed!

2010-04-07T00:15:00.001+08:00

Alhamdulillah, finally – My Good Riddance Project with Daddykins and Horlick is now done. All completed as you can see from the photos *Yayy* Zillion thank to Daddykins [Along sayang Ayah sangat] and to Horlick for helping me on this task. 3 weeks Daddykins came up & down from Melaka and back to KL. After this can start concentrating on my work again. I’ve been putting everything on side for quite a while now.

New home, new look and of course new feeling. Alhamdulillah, I’m feeling a lot better no compare to the last 3 weeks. I feel fresh, feel so good about myself and most of all… I feel so relieved. Not only because of my home is in sparkling clean & shiny but I have let go a lot of the unnecessary stuff. Thanks to Daddykins for being super understanding and to Horlick for being here every night to accompany me. Hehehheee, plus my Dadddykins love her being around too. Riuh rendah rumah dibuatnya =)

All artwork is now up on the wall, only some still on the wall. Those are the pieces that I’ve decided to re-paint and some, just not enough space to hang it. I’ve threw 3 pieces of my artworks due to damaged while storing it *sob sob sob* Some still in Selayang’s Gallery and the rest – Sold! *Alhamdulillah*

The accessories has been pack individually ad place in the tall tower drawers with color coding. And of course, my bangle collection! Colorful eh? Daddykins loves them!!! He wipe and cleaned them all already before hang it back on the rack. I got this idea while watching one of Hindi movie a while back *tee hee* But it got dusty easily… but then again, it can be part of the deco aite? *wink*

To Kniedaz, here you go. All arranged items photos… Tadaaaa!!!

Sunglasses, belts, hair accessories, brooches for my kebaya & kurung and some toiletries which I don’t think I should upload the photos here too. And the tall transparent drawers are for my handbags… The small one. Big one were arrage in my cupboard. Err, some on top of the cupboard! Hhahaaaa… All shoes has been wipe and clean by Daddykins and I’ve threw some of them to due to ‘makan diri’ condition. Aghhh!!! Sayang betol la!

So, I guess, that’s it. *wink wink*

Nasi Bokhara

2010-04-06T21:43:00.001+08:00

I never like Nasi Beriyani or Nasi Kandar or whatever la yang jenis berempah rempah ni… But this one, I loves it so much after Horlick took me to eat at this one place in SS5 Kelana Jaya, near her mom’s place. Memang jato chenta tahap pandangan pertama la *cewahhh* So, tonight she wants to take Daddykins and of course me to makan this Nasi Bokhara again. Er, Daddykins never tried that before. Dari hari Dad lom sampai lagi dia da ajak nak belanja and bila Daddykins sampai je terus ‘chop’ daddykins’ Monday night for a Nasi Bokhara Date! Hehhehhehee…

Pagi bangun awal sikit, naikkan artwork on the wall. Alhamdulillah, siap suda tinggal satu je wall lagi in my 3rd room tu. Then, went out to Mid Valley beli groceries and Towel Hanger to sidai my telekung and sejadah. Tak yah la nak sangkut kat Single Sofa dalam bilik tu lagi. Since I have space in my room already cuz all the artworks has been out to hang on the wall *Yayy* I had fun hunting all the items in the list with Daddykins… Went home and wait for Horlick to come fetch us to makan Nasi Bokhara =) Sampai je kedai tu, da abis lak but being Horlick who suka cari pasal or memang garang ngan waiters – she managed to get them to asked other outlet yang still ada Nasi Bokhara at this hour. Alhamdulillah, we managed to get it at SS3.

So, here some photo of the Nasi Bokhara. Ayam dia sorok bawah nasi, atas ada kari telo but we asked them to separate the kari la cuz I like the rice plain without kari! Memang best plus banyak giler ok!!! After that, balik and sambung buat kerja lagi =)

Tired...

2010-04-04T21:50:00.004+08:00

But guess what? Mengantuk giler masa drive to and from LCCT ok…
Daddykins asked me to sleep after we reached home.

Thank God we already eaten at Old Town White Coffee while at LCCt tadi.
So I slept from 1pm till 7pm.

Bangun bangun je, rumah da bersih.
Daddykins da cuci my balcony and even my bathroom. Ala, bathroom Bukan la koto pon so tak la susah sangat but the balcony – payah gak tu nak hangkut air! Pemalas betul anak dara dia nih *haish*

Supposed to have dinner with Liza but tak larat la nak keluar lagi plus takut jam lagi karang…
Malam Horlick came, terus sambung kemas artwork artwork tu. *tee hee*

Pusing Pusing Kotaraya

2010-04-03T21:28:00.001+08:00

I’m supposed to fetched them again at 4pm and leave by 5pm but mengantuk punya pasal tak boleh tido pagi tadi… Me & Daddykins only arrived at kampong at 5ish and left at almost 7pm. Apalagi, speed la cuz they wanted to go to BB Plaza to get a snorkeling gear set there. Alhamdulillah, sempat pun. At 8.30pm, I dropped them all at the entrance while I go find parking. After all done, we went to KLCC to jalan jalan cuci mata and catch a movie. Thought of watching Avatar 3d again but it was in Paviliion – malas la.

The Clash of the Titan is now showing. Tried to get 3D tix cuz they don’t have a 3D shows in their cinema in Brunei but no luck too cuz it’s a weekend. Not even for How To Train Your Dragon :( Oh well, takde rezeki la nampaknya. We got 11.45pm show and while waiting for that, we went to Starbucks and camwhoring session near the lake. Can’t go far as the section is close at night but hey! We still had fun *wink*

Yang paling kelakar masa tu ada orang sampai dok menonggeng nonggeng nak ambil gambar The Twin Tower tu! Mak aii, gelak punya pasal, lupa lak nak snap gambar tu! Hahhahhahaaa… Thought of going to Danau Kota Bazar but penat dah… They loves the movie so much, even Daddykins pon suka but as for me – tak kot as I expect more than that. So, nothing to shout about. Well, I’m looking forward to watch How To Train Your Dragon 3D with Horlick nanti *Yayy* After movie, sampai rumah semua da terkapar kepenatan and tomorrow, they’re going back already. I have to get up early to send them to airport. Hmmm, better not to sleep at all then lewat…

Ironic but not Chronic

2010-04-02T21:22:00.000+08:00

I’m supposed to leave for Adelaide on Friday April 2, 2010 but due to unavoidable situation, which is a blessing in disguise… I’m now not going. Was uncertain about it since way before the tix was not book yet but now, I know why. Alhamdulillah. Tu yang orang selalu kata, ada rahmat disebalik setiap perkara buruk yang terjadi – I second that! So today, instead of going to KLIA to catch my MAS flight to Adeilade… I’m heading to LCCT to fetch my cousin and her fiancée from Brunei to jalan jalan in KL. Went with Daddykins and guess what? We’re late! Idon’t understand why but it’s worst than the usual Friday’s traffic. Well, it’s normal to be stuck in the jam at this hour but 2 hours to KLIA which normally only take 30 minutes from my house? *haish*

I think it could be due to orang balik kampong cuz everybody just got their salary aite? Or could it be The F1 race? Or??? I don’t know… Thank God those kids don’t mind about having to wait for us *tee hee8 So, after they jumped into Envee… We ‘re all super hungry already. So, first destination Little Penang Village at The Curve. I always loves this place. Eat, rest a bit and smoke terus head to The Kota Damansara Bazar. Tak banyak booth da buka since they always have to wait for the pasar malam to end first before start their business unlike every other day where they’re all ready and set up by 9pm. Well, now I know…

They bought some gift for themselves and her mom’s birthday present too! I bought myself a lighter, chosen by Daddykins and Daddykins bought the handphone cover for him to use bila nak gi kebun nanti. Hehhehehee… After that, went home at midnight. Horlick arrived not long after that to help me and Daddykins hanging up those artwork in the entrance and kitchen. I packed then leave to send them both to Melaka. Left at almost 3am, dropped them off at their grandparent’s place kat kampong Sebatu Merlimau around 4ish and me & Daddykins arrived at our home at 5ish. I’m tired…

The Good Riddance Project

2010-04-01T03:45:00.007+08:00

Had a good day since last few weeks... House is now super clean & tidy. Thanks to Daddykins and Horlick. All paper for my previous project has been filled and labeled properly. It is so clean and neat my working table now, Alhamdulillah. Dvds & Cds drawers have been sorted out. Arranged in alphabetical order and labeled too - this one, two thumbs up to me & Daddykins *Yayy* It's now so easy to find anything in that drawer. Cds all in one box - of course labeled too!

My files and sample s are all in boxes now. Cute boxes I must say... No more dusty samples to refer too *Yayy* All canvas now in my 3rd room too! All colors & brushes have been sorted out, arrange and labeled in boxes. Still thinking about having wall shelves for my books, I might not need it already since all good in their place already. My display shelf for all knick knacks has been clean too! Daddykins wiped and washed every single of them already *wowee*

My 3rd room & wardrobe room has been clean too. I bought new cupboard for all my work cloth. All has been sorted out - thanks to Daddykins for helping me moving around the hand bags shelves and arranging all boxes. Now it has more space to put new stuff *Hahhahahaa* And thanks to Horlick for helping me in the wardrobe room. I'm sure you had fun going through my 'stuff' eh? *chit* Done with bikinis drawer, shawl & scarf drawers, toiletries drawers, belts & sunglasses drawers, hair accessories done too and all my accessories – bangle, bracelets, necklaces & pendant has been individually pack & arranged color coding – thanks Horlick for wanting to help me repair and fix some of them wink*. Pareo, pants, jeans, skirts and jubah all sorted out. Folded, bagged and arranged accordingly in the cupboards and even boxed them already *Yayy*

Just a lil bit more - then I'm all set. Sort the handbags according to color – Horlick you gonna help me wipe them aite? I need them shiny! *teehee* Last, me and Horlick gonna put up all the nice artwork on the wall, one more wall in my room maybe for Seizure, kitchen – 2 artworks, my wardrobe room – 1 piece, living room – 1 artwork and the rest in my 3rd room. Daddykins already put Serenity III up on my bedroom wall already and they look awesome! Thank you Daddykins *hugs* I’m so happy with my new sparkling clean and neat home. Thank you so much to Daddykins for doing all this for me. And Horlick, you’re the best! Lets finish all this by next week ya? *wink* And I call this a Good Riddance Project. Alhamdulillah.

Color Palette in Wonderland

2010-03-30T03:35:00.000+08:00

It’s a good day today *Alhamdulillah*. Plus the good rain this past few days really washes all my pains away. It’s so calm staying home especially when I have my ‘Smooth Operator’ around *wink* Went out with Horlick today. First stop, meet Fiona to get my make up palette at Burger King. I loves this color palette! Good for travelling. Got it at bargain!!! I saw many of them on Facebook but nothing bid the price I have paid. Alhamdulillah… Might want to start promoting them to help Fiona. Hmmm, still thinking about it. Then to Jasema TTDI – my fav stationery & hardware shop to get few stuff for my Good Riddance Project and last to Alice In Wonderland 3D!

I had so much fun, especially watching all the up & coming movies in cinema. We have loads to watch, start planning them already *wink* Well, nothing to shout about on Alice In Wonderland but I like the setting and of course the costume and colours! Avatar 3d still showing. Thought of going again with Horlick and Daddykins - once he’s here again. Maybe next week. Supposed to continue on my Good Riddance Project but a lil sleepy and tired today. Horlick not coming tomorrow night… Hmmm, have to do it alone then or better still, don’t do it, wait for Horlick and I can update my blog! Hehhehhee…

An evening with Maba Jaafar

2010-03-28T02:33:00.000+08:00

Last Sunday, I finally got a chance to meet Maba Jaafar in person. Went to her home-studio-gallery in SS15 is just awesome! I’m supposed to meet Shiczo Lee & Pn Seri Inaliza but due to Pn Seri’s mom is unwell we decided to reschedule this gathering to next time. I met them both during my Umrah trip last year and we plan to go again together next year, Insya-Allah. Looking forward to new date ya! Then, off to Bangsar to get some baskets from Mommy and off to SS15. The weather was ok but as I’m approaching Bangsar, rain pours heavily and I’m all wet by that time I got back in Envy with all my baskets too! *sigh* But it was good rain, I must say. Alhamdulillah.

Journey to SS15 was really uncomfortable. Almost hit few cars due to break not working cuz the ‘flooded’ road but Alhamdulillah, I reached Maba’s home-studio-gallery in one piece, sound and vertical! *tee hee* Too many to share here, it’s better if you go yourself to her place (well, I don’t mind accompanying you tho!). She’s a very warm person, rasa macam da kenal lama. Very nice home and her studio is just awesome! I like it very much! Now, I feel like transferring my 3rd room to studio too but not sure how. Will give a serious thought about it soon! And oh yes, very loving & supportive husband she got next to her *lucky her*

She served some finger food (you don’t have to you know) and I, of course, being me – wallops quit a lot while chit chatting. Hehhehee… Teruk betul perangai! And her pieces, awed me! I can’t stop admiring her latest piece, the cat & butterfly artwork. If I’m not mistaken, it’s gonna feature in one of the magazine. *kudos Maba* I wish I have the camera with me but left it downstairs in the living room but hey! I’m gonna go again with Horlick soon, Insya-Allah. Definitely after all her souvenirs is ready. So, if I don’t get a ny of her artwork… I still won’t go home empty handed cuz I will definitely get her bookmarks or mugs or shirt for myself *insya-Allah*

So, Maba… Nice knowing and finally meet you in person. I had so much fun that day. I’m still amaze with the fact that you’re a self-taught artist, who just discover your ability & talent to paint 5 years ago can come out with all this marvelous artworks!!!! *salute Maba* And yes my next visit, I’m gonna bring my friend (who are just as impress & amaze as me with your years of experience and your artwork) and I want to spend some time in your Funville & Sugar Gliders. And no need to serve anything cuz we’re heading to that mamak that I’ve mentioned to you for the indomee goreng & their ice cream cake *Insya-Allah & soon ok?!

It's Earth Hour Day!

2010-03-27T05:33:00.001+08:00

8.35pm, I'm already on my fav Red Couch with iPod, torchlight, hand-phone and ciggy with me. It's the Earth Hour day. Started at 8.30pm and I already switched off my main power! No light except 2 oil burners - 1 in my kitchen near the entrance and another one in my living area itself. Lying down, get comfortable and plan to watch Gilmore Girl the last episode on my iPod. I've converted all movies for my Adelaide trip but now, since I'm not going... I've been watching it everywhere I want including in the toilet *heh* But before I even took it out from my the pouch/casing... I've sms few of my buddy, my bros and Daddykins.

Chris called immediately but told her that I'll call her back as I received all replies to my sms. My lil bro said not gonna happened as he's not aware about it plus mom & dad reading Al-Quran. Then, I replied told him to start at 9.30pm-10.30pm - followed Indonesia's time *hahaha* His reply makes me smile "Mom knew about this and already switched off all the light but no t the TV & fan". I laughed, then Daddykins also replied that they're in the dark too but not the main switch cuz the TV & fan still on. Hahhahaaa...

BB was out shopping, got herself a pair of Armani Sunglasses at RM680 only! I want too!!! Then continue sms till late. Box complaint, can't do work in the dark. She on back the light after 5 minutes her colleagues turn it off *chait* Then called Chris back, chatted till 9.45pm. So, there it goes my Gilmore Girls plan but at least, I got company =) Not totally dark as my neighbor opposite block's light were really bright, just a lil hot but hey! I got my Nyonay's hand fan *wink*

So, how do you spent the Earth Hour?

My Envy…

2010-03-25T02:47:00.001+08:00

Cherating & Penang, here we come =)

Pursuing My Art

2010-03-23T03:05:00.001+08:00

Been planning to do this for many months already and Alhamdulillah, al my artwork portfolio is now, D.O.N.E! *Alhamdulillah* While surfing from one channel to another channel, browsing from one web to another web, blogwalking in blogspheres from one blog to another… I found this entry about becoming an Artist membership for National Art Gallery. So, I’ve printed out the form and marched to the gallery with Daddykins last week.

Submitted the form, paid the membership fee, collected the membership card and now, I’m officially the National Art Gallery Artist members! *hooray* Thanks to Daddykins for accompanying me. We even went to submit few of my art portfolios to some galleries in Bangsar. Hope all turns out good, Insya-Allah.

what is lost... IS LOST!

2010-03-16T23:37:00.002+08:00

i always feel like a freak because I'm never able to move on like normal people... some of them just by a second!. people just have an affair or even entire relationships. they break up and they forget!. they move on like they would have change brands of cereals... i feel, i was never able to forget anyone I've been with... because each person had their own specific qualities. you can never replace anyone... what's lost is lost!... each relationship, when it's ends... really damages me. i never, never once fully recover. that's why i should be very and extremely careful with getting involved because it's hurts too much!!!...

i appreciate little things... i mean really little---little things. sometimes too little to be notice but i did. it's the same with people. i see their little details, so specific to each of them that move me and that i miss and will always miss... that's why no one can replace anyone because everyone is made of such beautiful, specific details.

lately, i wonder... am i ready for another relationship? is it because of I'm tired being alone? is it because of i've got nothing better else to do? nothing really can fill my time and my mind? am i really up for another venture? am i ready for another temporary happy moments? am i ready to get hurts? am i ready to share the burden? will i be ready to share good and bad news with someone else? will i treat that person right? will that person treat me right? will it be only filled with tears, like always? will it be a laugh, which very rare in my case? is it for eternity? is it only temporary like rainbows that will only shows up after the rain and gone while i'm still admiring and enjoying it? i wonder... and keep wondering...

i do want to have to someone that i can look up to. i do want someone to cherish and witness my days comes and goes by. but i know that i never have luck in this department. it always ends bad and destroyed me. i think i had enough of that and want to stay away from it. cuz nothing is permanent, nothing is eternity, nothing is bright, and i don't want to suffer again and again and again... as much as i want it, i know i can't allow it to happen...and i know, deep in my heart...

...I'm not ready yet!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

i wrote this in 2007, it's the inspiration of Serendipity I... After reading it again from my diary with Heart Shaped Box, something just hit me... From this post till now, I had 2 unsuccessful relationship already... One in 2008 and the other one, just ended few days ago. And you know what comes to mind, may be cuz I'm not ready to commit in my any relationship yet... Anyway, it done deal. Life goes on!

HYPNOTISM III

2010-03-14T00:46:00.005+08:00

I’ll seek you out, slay you alive

One more word and you won’t survive
And I’m not scared of your stolen power
I see right through you any hour

I’m taking it slow... Feeding my flame
Shuffling the cards of your game
And just in time, in the right place
Suddenly I will play my ace

I won’t soothe your pain
I won’t ease your strain
You’ll be waiting in vain
I got nothing for you to gain

Eyes on fire
Your spine is ablaze
Felling any foe with my gaze
And just in time, in the right place
Steadily emerging with grace
Felling any foe with my gaze

EPIPHANY II

2010-03-13T23:19:00.004+08:00

Hello, tell me you know, yeah, you've figured me out
Something gave it away
And it would be such a beautiful moment
To see the look on your face
To know that I know that you know now

And baby that's a case of my wishful thinking,
You know nothing
'Cause you and I, why we go carrying on for hours on end
We get along much better than you and your boyfriend

Well, how long can I go on like this,
Wishing to kiss you
Before I rightly explode
And this double life I lead isn't healthy for me
In fact it makes me nervous
If I get caught I could be risking it all
Well, baby there's a lot that I miss in case I'm wrong

If I should be so bold, I'd ask you to hold my heart in your hand
Tell you from the start how I've longed to be your man
But I never said a word I guess I'm gonna miss my chance again

Well, all I really want to do is love you
A kind much closer than friends use
But I still can't say it after all we've been through

And all I really want from you is to feel me
It's a feeling inside that keeps building
And I will find a way to you if it kills me, if it kills me... It might kill me.

10 sifat peribadi yang mesti dipupuk

2010-02-26T02:31:00.006+08:00

Sifat peribadi yang luhur merupakan aset penting dan berharga dalam kehidupan seseorang. Ia menjamin kehidupan yang indah dan bahagia tidak kira lelaki mahupun wanita. Tidak semua di kalangan kita memiliki sifat mulia yang luhur ini sejak azali. Sebab itu ia harus dipupuk supaya sebati di dalam diri kita dalam menjalani kehidupan seharian. Hayati 10 sifat peribadi luhur di bawah, tanamkan ke dalam hati sanubari, lalui kehidupan yang lebih bahagia…

1. Tulus
2. Rendah diri
3. Setia
4. Berfikiran positif
5. Perwatakan ceria
6. Bertanggungjawab
7. Percaya kepada diri sendiri
8. Pemaaf
9. Mudah berkira
10. Empati

Tulus - Tulus atau ‘transparent‘ merupakan sifat yang paling disukai oleh semua orang. Ketulusan akan membuatkan orang lain berasa aman dan dihargai dengan kehadiran kita. Orang yang tulus tidak akan memperbodoh atau berbohong apabila berkata-kata. Sebaliknya sentiasa menyatakan kebenaran, tidak suka mengada-ngada, berpura-pura, mencari-cari alasan atau memutar belitkan fakta. Prinsip tulus ialah “berkata benar walaupun pahit”. Namun begitu, adalah lebih sempurna jika sifat tulus ini digabungkan dengan kebijaksanaan. Supaya ketulusan tidak menjadi penyebab yang boleh merugikan diri sendiri.

Rendah diri - Bukan rendah diri di atas kelemahan, tetapi merendah diri kerana kehebatan dan kekuatan. Inilah yang sukar manusia lakukan. Hanya orang-orang yang berjiwa kental mampu bersikap rendah diri. Ibarat padi yang semakin berisi semakin menunduk. Orang yang bersikap rendah diri mampu mengakui dan menghargai keunggulan orang lain. Sikap sebegini mampu memberi impak terhadap dua situasi. Pertama, membuatkan orang yang lebih tinggi pangkatnya daripada kita untuk berasa segan dengan kita. Kedua, membuatkan orang yang lebih rendah pangkatnya daripada kita untuk tidak merasa kekok apabila berinteraksi dengan kita. Hebat bukan?

Setia - Kesetiaan merupakan satu sifat yang tinggi nilainya. Orang yang setia sentiasa dipercayai dan boleh diharap, selalu menepati janji, mempunyai komitmen yang tinggi, rela berkorban dan tidak berkhianat.

Berfikiran positif - Orang yang bersikap positif sentiasa berusaha melihat segala sesuatu dengan pandangan positif, meskipun dalam situasi yang buruk. Orang sebegini lebih suka membicarakan kebaikan daripada keburukan orang lain, lebih suka membicarakan tentang harapan daripada kekecewaan, lebih suka mencari penyelesaian daripada berputus asa, lebih suka memuji daripada mengecam, dan sebagainya.

Berperwatakan ceria - Bukan semua orang dianugerahi wajah yang ceria. Oleh itu keceriaan tidak harus dinilai dari ekspresi wajah dan tubuh tetapi sikap dalaman (hati). Orang yang ceria adalah orang yang dapat menikmati hidup, tidak suka mengeluh dan selalu berusaha meraih kegembiraan. Dia juga mampu mentertawakan situasi, orang lain, juga dirinya sendiri. Dia mempunyai potensi untuk menghibur dan mendorong semangat orang lain.

Bertanggungjawab - Orang yang bertanggungjawab akan melaksanakan kewajipannya dengan bersungguh-sungguh. Andai melakukan kesalahan, dia berani mengakuinya. Ketika mengalami kegagalan, dia tidak akan mencari kambing hitam untuk disalahkan. Bahkan kalau dia merasa kecewa dan sakit hati, dia tidak akan menyalahkan siapapun. Dia menyadari bahwa dirinya sendirilah yang bertanggungjawab atas apa pun yang dialami dan dirasakannya.

Percaya kepada diri sendiri - Rasa percaya kepada diri sendiri memungkinkan seseorang itu menerima dirinya sebagaimana yang dianugerahkan oleh Allah s.w.t, menghargai dirinya dan menghargai orang lain. Orang yang percaya kepada diri sendiri mudah menyesuaikan diri dengan lingkungan dan situasi yang baru. Dia tahu apa yang harus dilakukannya dan melakukannya dengan baik.

Pemaaf - Kebesaran jiwa dapat dilihat dari kemampuan seseorang memaafkan orang lain. Orang yang berjiwa besar tidak membiarkan dirinya dikuasai oleh rasa benci dan permusuhan. Ketika menghadapi masa-masa sukar dia tetap tegar, tidak membiarkan dirinya hanyut dalam kesedihan dan kekecewaan.

Mudah berkira - Orang yang mudah berkira menganggap hidup ini ringan. Dia tidak suka membesar-besarkan masalah kecil. Bahkan berusaha mengecilkan masalah-masalah besar. Dia tidak suka mengungkit masa lalu dan tidak mahu khuatir dengan masa depan. Dia tidak mahu memeningkan kepada dan memberi tekanan kepada diri sendiri dengan masalah-masalah yang berada di luar kawalannya.

Empati - Empati adalah sifat yang sangat mengagumkan. Orang yang mempunyai sifat empati bukan sahaja merupakan seorang pendengar yang baik tetapi juga dapat menempatkan diri di tempat orang lain. Ketika berlaku konflik dia akan selalu mencari jalan keluar terbaik bagi kedua belah pihak. Dia juga tidak suka memaksa pendapat dan kehendaknya sendiri. Dia selalu berusaha memahami dan mengerti perasaan orang lain.

Kesimpulan - 10 sifat peribadi luhur di atas sangat berharga jika dapat diadaptasi dalam hati masing-masing. Bukan mudah, tetapi berbaloi jika dapat sentiasa ditanam, dipupuk dan dirasai oleh semua orang. Ramai yang bercita-cita ingin jadi usahawan yang berjaya... Bayangkan 10 sifat peribadi ini akan membawa anda kepada kecemerlangan...Cubalah! Wallahu a’lam.

Happy Birthday Daddykins!

2010-02-24T04:16:00.000+08:00

Walk a little slower, Dad
Cos I am only small.
I’m following in your footsteps,
And I don’t want to fall.

Someday when I’m all grown up.
You’re what I want to be;
Then I will have a little child,
Who’ll want to follow me.

And I would want to lead just right,
And know that I was true;
So, walk a little slower, Dad,
For I must follow you.

A very very very Happy Birthday Dad
Along sayang Ayah sangat *mwah*

Alhamdulillah, today banyak dapat good news. I got an ID job to design a room for a wedding. Then in the afternoon, webportal design job for an academy which I will share once its up. I've been talking to Daddykins on daily basis now... Alhamdulillah. Banyak giler idea to share with and of course he's a brilliant businessman. Lots of ideas and feedback from him too! But then again, if he got nothing to say or comment pun... I da rasa best giler da borak ngan dia. Besides being very loving and caring... Dia adalah seorang yang sangat kelakar orangnya. Ada je benda nak sakat *smile* 2 days ago, I lost my Glenmarie job. Not that I din't get it but the owbner plan to sell the house and move to a new place. Maybe they will hire me for new place? I don't know but I hope so... I was sad, I spoke to him and as usual he said "sabar...".

And true enough, later at night I shared with him about my auction in Facebook and he's so thrilled about it. Then tak sabar nak tahu result jugak *chummel la Ayah ni* And today... I called him in the carpark while waiting for Gjie to accompany me for some shopping. I smsed him earlier mengadu pasal the second auction yang tak laku tu but no reply. Ayah memang macam tu, kalau I anta sms sedih - no reply. Mesti dia pon sedih and tak tahu nak cakap apa. But now, I called him to share about those good news. Web design, ID and potential buyer for few of my pieces including Hypnotism II. Dia sangat happy! And he said "this is the best ever present he ever received". Alhamdulillah... tapi beli jugak sandal for him kat Hush Puppies tadi. he don't want anything when I asked about his birthday & present 2 nights ago but I remembered its been a while since I last bought a pair of sandal for him. I know I bought a few and he loves Scholl but since no Scholl at The Curve, I bought him a Hush Puppies sandal. Hope he likes it.

Tgh borak borak, disconnected lak. I called back but went to voicemail. Mlm dia sms said sorry cuz baterry kaput. I didn't reply cuz I just got home. By the time I want to reply, his 2nd sms came in and I terus call dia- Ingatkan Along marah ke? Majuk ke? Hahahhaaha... Chummel la Ayah ni =) Sambung borak lagi for almost an hour! Told him about ada orang respond to the other 3 pieces but only 2 so far... Oh ya, lupa nak nagitah dia Delirium II da ada buyer jugak!!! I told him nak buat Sujud Syukur tonight and he said he already did lepas maghrib tadi. Oh ya, I'm going back to Melaka this week to have dinner with him and my family. Gjie, Dr. Syah and another 2 friends might come along too! He's looking forward to meet them, sayang TS tak dapat join. Next time ya TS?! *Insya-Allah* Anyway, I'm just glad to the fact that I am the daughter of the World's Best Dad!

Delirium I-V - Done!

2010-02-23T03:13:00.000+08:00

Done! Serendipity II...

2010-02-22T03:17:00.000+08:00

This pieces is going for an auction. Starting price at RM300 and its worth RM2,500. Now I have 3 bidders already... The highest so far is Ms Siti Mahiran Abdul Hadi at RM550.00. And it only last for 2 day starting from tonight till tomorrow midnight!

Zillion thanks to Mr Ajek Hassan & Ms Ida for such an inspiration. And yes, click here to enjoy his voice and clip.

I must say - this pieces, the song, the melody had a story itself. The meaning of love, hurt, lies, betrayal, laugh, tears and the beauty of the relationship itself. Again, beauty lies in the eye of the beholder and everyone have their opinion on what they see or feel when you see this. So, here you go.

I've first learned about this word was when I was watching a movie back in 2007 called Serendipity. It is a 2001 romantic comedy, starring John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale. Then it gave me some inspiration to do Serendipity I and it was on a Valentine's Day itself.

These year, while everyone was busy thinking, discussing, planning or getting what to gives to their significant other the best gift or surprises; me on the other hand busy with my CNY & Valentine's gift baskets - I thought of paint something on this occasion... Not getting any idea but thought of developing some idea base on Serendipity I.

I've been meaning to do this piece as a theme as yearly event since last year but nothing came up until I saw a videoclip post by Mr Ajek Hassan on his wife's wall on Facebook. Its a cover version of a song called Seluruh Jiwaku Pergi by Anang. His voices really touches my heart. Somehow that song reflected what I felt at that very moment... My current status on relationship, my experiences, my ups & downs. Well, too much to share it here but yes! This pieces is now done. Alhamdulillah.

My Artwork Video - D.O.N.E!

2010-02-19T06:38:00.000+08:00

Ready for tomorrow delivery!

2010-02-11T03:11:00.006+08:00

Alhamdulillah! Finally, my Golden Prosperity & V-Day gift Basket 2010 are ready to be deliver tomorrow. Dengan tummy cramp yang super teruk, siap jugak all these Gift Baskets =) Thanks to Jiji for helping me completing this task. I had so much fun! And to my Daddykins, thank you for accompanying me getting all those stuff on the prevoius day. My touch & Go trip much more woth it with him around. Ke bank, then to Jonker Street, then to Bibik House and last Jusco. Siap beli groceries sekali *hahahahah* Terima kasih ayah! Along sayang Ayah *mwah*

Not much order as per expected due to long weekend/holiday. Many people prefer to take their loved ones away for holiday. Good time together. Unlike the previous year, when they can't spend time together cuz it's on weekday. So, surprise them at work place is a better choice *wink* But again, there's always next year *insya-Allah*

But I'm still happy with all the orders. Better than none. I honestly hope it gives the recipient same pleasure it gave me while I was working on it. Thanks all for your orders and support!

Alhamdulillah, my SS19 job finally done and all payments received. Yang paling besh, ada tambah order lagi. Then, Hypnotism II got selected to be exhibited at Penang Art Gallery. Then, me da baik demam yang sgt teruk tu hari, Daddykins pon da beransur sihat... And, ada banyak lagi sebab boleh celebrate ni!

Apa lagi, since Gjie pon ikut balik Melaka... Jom makan kan Bakar kat Alai! *besh* Musti adik saya kat Bristol tu jeles tgk post ni. Huhuhuu... *sowie Akong & Fizee*

My Birthday Party

2009-12-27T02:18:00.001+08:00

Whoaaa! Da basi da cerita ni tapi tak kira, nak masuk jugak dalam blog ni. Honestly, tak ingat sangat cerita so takyah la nak ngomel bebanyak. Tengok gambo je la ye? Thanks to Gjie for all the arrangement and of course to Faisal Admar, Keith, Aida and Aza for memeriahkan malam tu! *yayy* Me & Gjie drove up to Penang to visit Penang Gallery since my artwork won and got selected to be exhibited. Apa lagi, sangat la seronok saya ni. Since tak buat apa on my birthday masa kat KL tu hari due to jam and busy rushing for banyak benda... Gjie took me for dinner at G Hotel. It was awesome tapi yang paling best sekali ialah lepas tu, karaoke with all this great buddy!

Petang tu lepas kena kidnap ngan Aida & Aza, kiorang ajak gi karaoke and they're ok with it but tak sure kol berapa. Then I pon ajak la si Faisal and Keith, at first cakap ok but towrds the end - tak jadi pulak. Sadalah SKH sikit but reason diorang adalah sangat valid. Which is, it's too late and the're working tomorrow. Tapi takpe, Aida an Aza kan ada... Yang paling kelakar, Gjie cakap dorang tak dapat datang. So, kita proceed dua orang je la. Then later, dia sibuk kata sakit perut and nak gi toilet. Bila datang balik, all 4 of them ada sekali. Later cake pon ada gak! Woo hooo! Besh besh besh!!! Well, thanks to Gjie for all the effort. Faisal & Keith, I love you both!!! Aida & Aza, you guys rock! lets do this again soon =)
