"Where are the people?" resumed the little prince at last.

"It's a little lonely in the desert..."

"It is lonely when you're among people, too," said the snake.

Till we meet again.

morning. pagi.

2011-07-21T07:23:00.004+08:00

mula-mula aku kerja dulu, aku rasa office aku adalah tempat kerja yang seronok sekali. tapi makin hari makin kurang percentage seronok tu.

rules di office dah macam-macam dah.

tapi

it's not the strict rules yang mengurangkan percentage seronok tu. i don't mind them at all, really.

mulut-mulut orang yang aku tak tahan. aku tak paham macam mana orang boleh hidup dengan hari-hari ada saja benda yang dia nak mengata. ada saja yang dia tak puas hati/nak sibuk dengan hidup orang lain.

tak penat ke?

haih.

if it wasn't for ridzuan jahari, aku rasa aku dah lama dah berhenti.

- Zee Avi, Mee Kolok Sigek

well, hello there. phew, lama gila blog tidak ber-update. banyak (ok, taklah banyak sangat. hmm..ok maybe banyak. haha) benda dah berlaku dalam beberapa bulan lepas.

some things had been ended, some just started.

anyway, moving on.

hmm..tetiba tak tau nk blog pasal apa. dang, berkarat gila! lol

oh, tadi masa belek2 sketch book masa jobless dulu, nampak benda nie.

bookstore cafe, aisehhh..tinggi sungguh angan2 masa tak ada kerja dulu. lol that clap2 and dance thing, don't ask what it is. aku pun tak tau mende ntah clap2 and dance. gila lame jer bunyi. haha

lagi..hmm..oh ya, dalam entry bulan bulan bulan bulan lepas (;p), aku ada cerita pasal stickers dari redbubble. dah dapat dah bulan..err, tak ingat bulan berapa haritu. emm..the quality is ok la. ye, aku tau sini berlambak tempat print stickers, it's just that aku nak tengok macam mana quality dorang print, since aku ada upload benda kat sana. heh. buang duit jer, i know. lol

(how the stickers look like. heh)

pejam celik, pejam celik, dah masuk bulan june dah pun sekarang. gila, masa macam terlalu cepat jer berlalu. semenjak dah start bekerja nie, tetiba aku rasa benda2 yang aku suka buat dulu aku dah banyak abaikan.

y'know, like. shooting. writing. reading..books, i mean. cook, walaupun aku tak reti sangat. haha and etc. sekarang nie aku rasa masa aku banyak untuk tido jer..kot. garrhh! i need to start doing those things againla. esp, shooting. sekarang macam terkial2 dah nak pegang camera. that is scary man!

and my instax pun jarang dah guna. rugi betol beli kalau tak guna. the other day, sempat habiskan 2 kotak filem di taman buaya. beli this name card holder semata2 untuk simpan the films. haha i want to fill that soon! *harap2lah. hehe

what else? i guess that is pretty much it for now lah. harap2 dapat update lagi lepas nie.

heh.

oklah.

sampai kita jumpa lagi.

update, schmupdate

2011-02-14T00:31:00.003+08:00

whatever that title means. haha

hello all. sorry for the lack of update, as usual. LOL!

life's been pretty good so far. i've got a job. finally! after 1 year being jobless. heh. at least there's money to pay PTPTN now. phew!

hmm..what else? oh yeah, i've bought stickers from my redbubble few days ago. just wanted to see how it looks like for real. once i have money later on, i'll buy the shirt (the design is actually for a shirt but they [the redbubble] can make it into stickers too) for sure.

i'll blog about it once i've received the stickers.

till then.

have a good day all!

hey hey

2011-02-03T00:20:00.004+08:00

hey guys, ssup? (haha lame, i know)

first of all, i wanna apologize to those who left comments on my chatbox. i'm sorry if i didn't respond to it but thank you for the blogwalking though!

(ok, ini ayat macam blog saya super famous saja. lol)

anyway, still trying to get myself on the right path at the moment. sorry for the lack of update.

before i end this post, anyone knows where i can print shirts with cheaper price and that can also print 1 shirt..err..at one time? i have posted several designs on redbubble just for fun (it's not even a good design to be honest) and surprisingly, i received an email the other day saying that i've just made a sale! whaa..? lol so i wanted to print 1 shirt as a sample just to see how it looks like. and if it looks good maybe i can print them out and sell it..to you guys? haha ;p

till next post,

adios!

(p/s: do email me regarding the printing-shirt-thing kay? looking forward to that ;)

goodbyehello

2011-01-17T16:38:00.003+08:00

sorry for the lack of updates. well, nothing to write actually. life has been same old, same old.

the cat that has been with us for almost 8 - 9 years died on December. i still miss having her around. she was an awesome friend. i don't think i'll ever find another one like her.

i hope you're doing good up there love.

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

18 days of January.

i'm still on job hunting. so far, not good. sometimes i wonder if i will ever get a job? lol

*sigh*

hello new year.

a little late.

2010-12-29T16:09:00.002+08:00

well, i've been wanting to write about our short trip to kl last last last week(?) but just too lazy to do so. haha sorry.

so to summarize it all:

we stayed at capitol hotel

we only went to sg wang, bb, times square and pavilion. and kl tower and klcc because my brother never been there so..enjoy the boring pics. haha

kthanksbye.

haha

oh lately it’s so quiet

2010-12-27T22:42:00.001+08:00

tho it’s been a week already, still it feels so weird not having her around.

R.I.P meow, be good up there.

Dessert Master: Review

2010-12-21T03:25:00.008+08:00

Since everybody is doing this nowadays. Lol sorry i forgot to take pic of the cafe(?)

We were on a search quest for *something* the other day when we saw this..err, cafe? It's new in town (i guess) so we decided to give it a try (since we couldn't find the place that we've been looking for after hours of pusing-pusing. haha).

So the cafe(?) is called Dessert Master. Most of the menus are..ermm *trying to refresh memory* pastries (if tart, pancakes etc in that category, if not then, my bad ;p) + rojaks + cendols + specials + others. No soft drinks (this i'm sure) or any other drinks if i'm not mistaken, so you only have the choice of cendol/special (or bring your own drinks. haha kidding).

We ordered special (RM3) with additional ice cream (+RM1).

and 2 blueberry cheese tart, 1 oreo-something-something-tart and 1 egg tart. (RM 2 each except for the egg tart. Don't remember the price)

(sorry for the crappy quality. camera phone only ma ;p)

Not a fan of their special. Too many ais and tasted tawar too. At least the taste of the ice cream saved it.

(i couldn't finished it :( what a waste. haha)

The tarts were..ok lah. Not bad at all. Still "eatable" if it's even a word. Lol

Would i recommend you this place? Yes (though i only ordered special and tarts, i actually like this place. p/s: heard their mango pancake is famous :D). It's a great place to hang out, just lepak minum-minum with your buddies ;)

#nowplaying Sara Bareilles - Come Round Soon.

I'm having a err...editing-block? if there's such thing. lol so many photos, so little ideas. please shoot me. bluergh.

anyway, here's an "intro". haha more..soon, i guess ;p

@yelyahwilliams

2010-12-09T00:50:00.003+08:00

Meet my new baby. Her name is Hayley Williams, tho Miss Williams no longer has pink hair. Lol

I actually wanted a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro but then mom said Nokia is a better brand and the amoi backed her up with lots of other facts. Haha

I don't know much about this phone tho but I love that when you play the music player and you spin the phone, it'll automatically change to the next song which I think is super cool. And that when you wanted to check if there's any unread messages, you can hold the volume button (on the side of the phone) and shake it, and there'll be a 'ding' sound (haha) that will tell you how many messages that you have.

What I don't like about the phone is that you have to open the slide to make calls/receive calls and the fact that the speaker is at the bottom of the phone because when I put it in my pocket, I can't hear any calls or messages (I don't like to put my phone on vibrate mode, just fyi lol)

Other than that, I think it is an ok phone.

There you go, a quick intro on moi baby ;p

Till then, buhbye!

phew!

2010-12-08T21:40:00.001+08:00

just got back from kl yesterday.

that's pretty much it. haha

bye

let's just fall in love again

2010-11-28T23:18:00.003+08:00

that's my current favorite song by jason castro. hahaha sorry for the lack of updates.

anyway, got the chance to go searching for new locations for photoshoot today. searched every beach, hutan (lol) etc when we found this one place. ran out of light but didn't gave up hope. hahaha we stayed until 5 something there.

i'm never a fan of using speedlight during outdoor shoot but today decided to give it a try and i kinda love the outcome. hmm..maybe i should use it more often after this. heh! here are some of the shots. (click the images to view on flickr)

the rest are still being edited. hahaha

till next update, here's a quote from digital photography school:

6. Always be a beginner

The moment you adopt the mindset that you’re the best at something (or even the best in your circle), that’s the moment you become unteachable.

What?? Really?

2010-11-06T01:17:00.001+08:00

Testing Windows Live Writer, as been posted by misskedondong’s blog. Weeee! This seems so much fun! Lol

K. Bye!
HAHAHA

like a G6

2010-11-03T00:51:00.008+08:00

ignore the title. it's my favorite song at the moment. hahaha

anyway, thank you for those who has been asking about the tone that i used on flickr. here's some details about the tone.

it is actually a very yellowish color which sometimes won't work on some images. to get the

different color, you just need to adjust the color balance. that's it. i.e: to get like those vintage-ish

color, you'll need to adjust on the blue section (add to more +) on midtones and shadows and edit on curves or levels.

to lessen the yellow color (if you think it's too yellow for your image), play with cyan and magenta (more to -) or you can add new layer, choose solid color from the create new fill or adjustment layer and pick any color you like to cover it up and play with the blending and opacity.

that's pretty much it, i guess. you'll figure out more when doing the editing later ;p

here's some examples of the tone:

(true color of the tone. no tweak. fresh from the play button. lol)

(i personally love the tone on this photo. teeeheeee)

to be honest, i use this tone in almost every photo that i shoot. who can say no the play button on photoshop right? it makes our job easier haha

the other way that i love to use is probably solid color. it's like the..laziest way to add color to your photos. well, at least for me. lol solid color - blending - opacity - curves and/or levels.

(example photo using solid color)

hope this help you in editing. love to hear some feedbacks or ideas to share from you guys. those who wants the tone (the yellow color one) can email me at: stfuamie@gmail.com

till then.

happy photoshopping! lol

just to spit out the thoughts that keep floating inside

2010-11-01T22:48:00.008+08:00

(title: yael naim - far far)

i secretly have one favorite lecturer back then. he's not like other lecturers, you see. he's a very serious guy, rarely smiles and to be honest, i am scared of him. well, i guess, most of the us were scared of him. during my final year, nobody dared to choose him as supervisor for our thesis. except for me, and my two friends.

but still he is my favorite one.

you know why,

i loved how i actually learnt new things from his ridiculous projects.

i remembered the first project (that i love) that he gave us. the first time we learn how to shoot using film cameras. the day when he taught us how to shoot panoramic (and many others, i forgot. tua already =.="), learning new editing skills (those super famous dave hill-ish thing before). and how to print our very own photobook.

sometimes, when been given new projects, we would like, "oh God noooooo!" but i secretly love it. haha i remember talking to one of our junior about the project he gave them. they were like, "ko tengokla gila tak gila" something like that.

they had to shoot out of focus images. it was actually an interesting thing. but i was busy focusing on other things that time so i didn't get the chance to do a sort of research about it. up until few months after the graduation [and now] (yes, i still remember that project. i don't know why lol)

but.....i don't remember the name of the photographer who shot this out of focus photography. i only remember the photographer is a she. (p/s: if you happen to know who, please let me know. i think my head is going to explode, due to trying so hard to remember who. and Google doesn't help. haha)

so, anyway, what i'm trying to tell you is (HAHA) i tried to shoot that before but it turned out..boring. and tried again earlier today. and i get the image above. i don't know if it's a good one. but i'll try to shoot more again (don't know when. haha) shooting out of focus images is really hard! no wonder my friends were like, "gila, gila" already. lol

if you have shot out of focus photos before, please do share with me. i'll feature you in the next post!

[edit]

articles about out-of-focus photos. here and here.

Day 03. Your favorite television program

2010-11-01T21:35:00.002+08:00

I would say, America’s Next Top Model. Not because I wanted to be a model but I love to watch how the photographers do the photoshoots. I used to sketch, like, where they placed the lighting, softbox even the photographers etc but I stop doing that now. Maybe I shouldn’t. I don’t know but yeah, that’s my favorite TV program at the moment *grin*

Day 02. Talk about your piercings or tattoos, if you have any

2010-10-31T17:21:00.001+08:00

No tattoos, just piercings, on my ears. Lol got it when I was a kid. I remembered it hurts like hell! I went back home crying like a baby. No kidding! Hahaha well, I don’t think I will be getting more piercings in the future. It’s scarrryyyyy! HAHA

Thirty-days challenge

2010-10-29T17:55:00.004+08:00

I've already started doing this on my Tumblr. So, since I rarely update my blog, guess this should be a good thing to do. Lol so here we go!

Day 01. Your middle name, and how you feel about it

Shahrimie. I used to like it when I was a kid, well, not that I don’t like it now, it’s just that I like my first name more.

And I love how in French (correct me if I’m wrong), my first name means, friend ;)

Paramore Live in KL 2010

2010-10-22T13:21:00.005+08:00

(photo by: xaezrizx)

Up until today, I still couldn't believe that I went to Paramore's show last Tuesday. It was my first concert ever and it was super awesome! Unforgettable night!

We arrived at the stadium around 4pm but there was already a long queue both at the rockzone and free seatings area. The gate opened around 6+pm and all went crazy. Telling them not to push is useless. Everybody was trying to get the front row. We then have to wait for another hour before the opening act, Y2K started. They were OK lah. I don't know who they are so I don't wanna comment lebih-lebih about them. Lol

Paramore started the show with Ignorance where the crowd at the rockzone started to jump, push, err..mosh? (don't ask me why they mosh at Paramore's concert. I'm a first timer. Haha). Can't sing due to terhimpit macam sardin dalam tin. Haha when they finally "cool down", I take off my glasses only to find out that it was..patah. RIP my cermin mata. Hahaha

(Hayley: "I can't believe this is our first time to Malaysia. By the way that this look, we should have been here a long time ago. Man, if only America could see this right now, sick!". Sorry I didn't record the whole song ;p)

The show overall was...awesome..like I said earlier. I enjoyed singing and dancing like mad woman. Lol the only thing that bugs me is people who memandai nak label us at the rockzone as "rich kids, posers and not a true fan" and the "you should see the crowd of other countries at the show".

I don't wanna comment about the rich kids, posers and not a true fan thing cause those who said that are just plain..dickheads. And about the other countries crowd, well, ma'am, have you been there with the crowd or just watch it on Youtube? If you only watched them on Youtube then here's a middle finger for ya! Haha but just incase you would still labeled me as that, lemme clear things up for you. I'm not a rich kid. I happened to have a wedding job before the show even announced, so that's where I got my money to buy the ticket. I am not a poser or a "not true fan" but I don't need to prove how "true fan" I am to you. The show is not a competition anyway. Ah, membebel panjang pun aku tak dapat apa sebenarnya. Haha

Paramore, thank you for a great show. Please come again. Next time, this "rich kid" will let those who was at the free seatings the other day who was clearly deserved to be at the rockzone more than me, the "rich kid", be at the rockzone.

Eh..

ROFLMAO

(p/s: do the check out the Flickr above. he shot amazing photos of Paramore from PS2 with 300mm lens yo! Hehe)

Photoshop Tutorial

2010-09-24T00:06:00.010+08:00

I don't really know what it called (haha) but anyway, here's the tutorial on how to do it: (oh, btw, click the image for larger version)

01. Open an image that you like, then double click the layer to unlock it.

02. Click 'create a new layer' on the Layer pallet and move the layer under the image layer. Click 'paint bucket tool' or simply press 'G' and fill the new layer with white color.

03. Then type anything that you like with any font that you like. Lol then drag the layer (the text layer) under the image layer, so it'll be in between the image and the white layer.

04. Right click the image layer and choose 'create clipping mask' and that's pretty much it. Double click the text layer to open up the 'layer style' and you can choose any style that you prefer.

(I don't remember where I found the tutorial about this but if you happen to know one, do let me know :)

I'll post more of the images (not created by me but you'll find a lot more of it in Tumblr. Haha)

The image that has been used for this tutorial.

I believe in true love. I believe in love at first sight. I believe love conquers all. And that doesn’t mean there’s not gonna be hard days or difficult things to deal with, because there will be. But finding that person who does it for you and knowing that person loves you back it just makes everything so much easier. - Haley, One Tree Hill

Paramore Live in KL Oct 19?

2010-08-26T21:17:00.004+08:00

This news got me super stoked earlier today. And to be honest, I am still super stoked. I would suddenly jump on our couch and screams, "Yes! Wohooo!" and would be smiling like an idiot. Yes, that's how excited I am. If this is real, finally, one of my dreams will be come true this October!

Paramore, Hayley Williams, here I come!

what do, what do I wanna do?

2010-08-24T16:11:00.006+08:00

I've cleaned my room again today. Yay! If only I could wake up early in the morning I would have done lotsa thing today. Lol yes, I fail miserably at waking up early *sigh*

So this is the new..err..arrangement? of my room that I've told you in previous post. This is the boring wall that I've been talking about.

The side of my table..eh, bookshelf. Woosah! Poor instax. I need to buy more films so I can use it again.

I don't know where are the rest of my True Singapore Ghost Stories books. Now I have to re-buy it again and spook myself in the middle of the night. Ok, maybe the stories aren't that spooky but hey, at least I have something to read. Haha

I'll update you again on the wall, once I've started decorating it. Heh. Till then, bubbye!

4 simple goals and Polaroid wall

2010-08-23T20:54:00.006+08:00

I was Google-ing about polaroid wall earlier today when I stumble upon this blog. Now, I'm not a big fan of making resolutions/goals (maybe that's why I am so lost) but this post just made me wanna have one (or four ;p).
And my friends, here are my 4 Simple Goals:

01. Wake up early and eat breakfast

Being jobless means waking up at noon. Haha that's me though and that automatically no breakfast for me. Mom said breakfast is the most important meal so I'll try to do this from now on. Fuhh..wish me luck! Haha

02. Clean my room everyday

I'm a lazy-bum. I admit that. I only clean my room once/twice a month (yes, that's how lazy I am). That is not a good thing as I have a cat and she sleeps in my room/with me sometimes. So, from now on, I want to clean my room everyday. Oh, I did cleaned my room today and re-arrange the bookshelf, throw away boxes and cleaned the table fan etc. Even though my room is very small, when I did all of that, it feels more...spacious (is that a correct word? Hehe) now. I'll post the photo tomorrow.

03. Decorate my wall

I've always wanted to decorate my wall. The purple wall looks so boring. I wanted to do the polaroid wall but..we'll see :)

04. Write, draw, design or take photos more often

Although I'm not a pro at any of these but I love it. I should just do these more often. 'Nuff said ;p

* * * * * *

Just in case you wanna know what polaroid wall I'm talking about, I wanted to do something like this:

gimme gimme...more

Free sample again! Woohpie! This time from Hada Labo, a skin care product for the ladies.

(Last time I got 1 pair of Freshlook contact lens. *grins*)

They gave me Super Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Lotion 9ml and Moisturizing Cream 3g. It says that the lotion instantly hydrates your skins and helps preserve its optimum moisture balance while the cream helps soften epidermis, leaving skin smooth and hydrates (taken from their website).

Well, I gave it a try earlier. It made my face a bit sticky and few hours later, tadaaaa..you can see yourself at my shiny nose. Hahaha maybe it's not suitable for my skin, I don't know but I'll finish the samples just to see if it's really good.

This is what we aim for. Haha kidding. I just love free samples. And yes, it was raining outside and I didn't realize there's mail in the mailbox.

Oh, oh, did I tell you I get myself a new tee? Not a big of a deal but...finally new shirt for me! Haha heessh, I should spent my money to buy girls stuff (or at least girls tops?) instead of tees tees, and more tees (oh and did I tell you I bought shirt [again] from Threadless? Still waiting for it to arrive though. Can't wait!)

Oklah. That's it for now.

Till then. Tata.

Eyeliner Guide: Review

2010-08-20T13:34:00.003+08:00

Ok, to tell you the truth, I'm a 24 years old girl who doesn't know how to use makeup...yet. Haha yes, I am a noob when it comes to that. And yes, Youtube (but thank you Michelle Phan!) doesn't help that much. I ended up eyeline-ing (is that what you called it? Lol) my eyeball. Nice one Amie! So, to help me with that, I've decided to buy myself an eyeliner guide.

Well, if you're a noob like me, don't bother to buy this one. It doesn't work (or maybe I am that big of a noob who doesn't know how to use anything lmao). The eyeliner appeared nicely..on that thing not on my eyes. See that black line on that thing? Yes, nice isn't it? How I wish it was on my eyes. Hahaha

Lucky it's cheap though. RM3.50. Lol I'll give it a try again next time. Who knows maybe it does work and the only problem is me, for being such a dummy at eyeline-ing (?) my own eyes.

Just in case you're wondering why I'm trying so hard to learn this right now? Blame it to the 14 years old kids who already know much about makeup than me. Hessh! Darn you 14 years old kids! Hahaha just kidding..ok, that's it for now. Till then kids, stop trying to be an adult too fast! Ok ok, I'm just kidding.

Bye.

(oh look, TREE! Hahaha hey, I'm sorry my house doesn't has anything interesting to shoot. Lol)

And this dog made my day! she came out of nowhere, wagging her tail. When she saw the camera she simply..smiled! Yes, she did! Lol

well hello again un-updated blog

2010-08-13T21:42:00.004+08:00

been really busy with nothing lately. hahaha just got back from kuching the other day from my SPA exam. honestly, i don't think i did well for that. very much frustrated with myself *slap own face* lol hah, i don't wanna think about it anymore. if i get it, then that's good. if i don't, then i'll slap myself again. haha

push away all of the frustration. hiyarrrk!

at least i have fun during the exam. meeting new friends, meeting my seniors back then when i was in uitm, lol. it was fun. the people were nice. it was awesome. anyway, these are some of the photos that i shot during the exam. well, being a noob, i only shot 10, as they only asked 10 photos for each topic. gargghh, now i feel more frustrated! stupid me :(

(p/s: we have to submit raw files, i mean, non-edited photos to the examiners. these are the edited ones, obviously. lol)

i'm not trying to f things up, but you started it

2010-08-02T15:23:00.002+08:00

just so you know, i don't mind if you wanna be rude to me, calling me names and etc, but when it comes to my family, esp mom or dad, sorry honey, that is unacceptable. and believe me, i have my own ways to screw you up.

and i just did that the other day.

*evil smile*

Finally, works for custom album is DONE! Weeehuu! The cd already been shipped and waiting to be print. I hope the album will turn out good later. I hope there would be no problem at all during printing. Eepp, super nervous about the album!

Now the album is done, I have the times to study for my exam on 10/08. Honestly, I am super scared about the exam. Trying my hardest to remember the basic things about photography and stuff. Wish me luck guys! I seriously need a job already! Lol anyway, here's some of the photos from the wedding. Click the images to go to my Flickr to see the rest. Comments and critics are very much appreciated! This noob need your opinions on the photos. Good or bad, just write it. In that way, it can help me to improve my..err, skills? Haha thanks in advance guys! Much much love from moi.

I Love You

2010-07-29T00:55:00.001+08:00

‘I love you’ means that I accept you for the person that you are, and that I do not wish to change you into someone else. It means that I do not expect perfection from you, just as you do not expect it from me. It means that I will love you and stand by you even through the worst of times. It means loving you when you’re in a bad mood or too tired to do the things I want to do. It means loving you when you’re down, not just when you’re fun to be with. ‘I love you’ means that I know your deepest secrets and do not judge you for them, asking in return only that you do not judge me for mine. It means that I care enough to fight for what we have and that I love enough not to let go. It means thinking of you, dreaming of you, wanting and needing you constantly, hoping that you feel the same way for me.

“I’ll never be perfect. I’m not talking about just looks or things like that but in every part of life. I’ll always be flawed. The greatest feeling is knowing that I don’t have to be right. I’ve been ashamed and am still ashamed of things I’ve felt. Hate. Jealousy. Lust. Fear. Pride. Self consciousness. Pure anger. Pity. Just plain hurt.” - Hayley Williams

I think I get frustrated easily lately. Semalam pegi usya kedai print kad kahwin, layanan macam agak ok tapi bila dia kata dia tak boleh nak print size yang aku mintak, aku jadi..kecewa sedikit then tiba-tiba nak naik angin. Hahaha serious aku tak tau apesal. Mungkin sebab nie first time aku buat kad kahwin kot, jadi aku punya expectation yang tinggi and nak semua according to what yang aku dah buat. Mungkin. Aku rasa ye kot. Haha design pun bakal pengantin dah pilih tadi. Jadi sekarang tinggal aku nak redesign balik kad tu dan buat envelope dan buat tag. Tunggulah nanti bila dah print jadi macam mana. Harap2 jadi macam apa yang aku dah buat. Hmm..ok, nak sambung buat kerja, update sikit jer dulu. Nanti dah siap semua, aku upload gambar untuk korang tengok, ok?

Oh, topic lari sikit.

Bagi sesiapa yang nak belajar masak, bolehlah singgah di Syurga Makanan. Blog ditulis oleh kawan aku, Kecik. Kenapa nama dia Kecik? Sebab dia keciklah! Hahaha dulu aku selalu jenguk, tapi bila dah ada blog baru nie, aku lupa pulak yang dia ada blog tu, tapi sekarang dah jumpa balik. Masakan yang dia tulis pun aku rasa bagi yang noob masak boleh ikut kot (aku lah tu lol) pastu dia ada review jugak kedai2 makan yang dia rasa best etc. Ada masa silalah singgah.

Btw, lama gila aku tak makan kek Hiro tu! Dang! Rindu siak! Dulu time sekolah rendah, aku selalu beli. Warghh rindu rindu rindu!

2010-06-26T01:05:00.004+08:00

I'm never a big fan of muay thai but always being bored myself to death lately, I've decided to join Shirley and her sis to watch the err..game? show? Whatever you call it. Haha so, being super excited about it since I've never watch muay thai live before, I ran to their car and totally forgot about the camera. Nice job Amie! Bwahaha I'm sorry no photos for you to see, but here's some video (with shitty quality, ehem) of the err..game? show? earlier.

I didn't know there'll be some sort of dance routine (?) before they fight which I find awesome but..somewhat boring. Hehe I'm just kidding. It's fun but sometimes they took so long to dance that it become boring at some point *grins*

And the game..err..show? err..whatever was ok. It was exciting at certain part but then slowly become boring then slowly become exciting again then boring again. Hahaha some err..fighter? or whatever you call them (I'm just too lazy to Google) were too afraid to kick or punch (or gloves slap haha) their opponent which made the game..err..show boring sometimes.

Enjoy the shitty quality of the video. Hahaha this was between Thailand and I don't remember or don't know who because the mc was speaking Chinese most of the times. He kept saying 'ming bai ma?' which I feel like answering him, 'err..wo bu ming bai?' yes, with my broken Mandarin. Bwahaha but overall, I think it was worth my RM30 and I'm satisfied with my sit. Err..almost cause there was annoying kids in front and behind me. Lol

Before I end my post, have you ever heard the game of 'telefon rosak'? You know the one where your teacher/instructor asked you to read some text or they tell you some story then you need to tell others and the others need to pass them to the other others (hahaha) then the last person have to tell back the story to you? Well, you know what they said at the end of the game right? Never ever trust rumors (I summarize it as I don't know how to explain. Bwahaha). You can listen, but God gives you brain to interpret, to think carefully about it. Don't ever let those things get you, if you choose to believe 100% cause you know how crappy it makes you feel. By then, don't blame others for what you feel, as you've decided to believe it in the first place. Heh? Hahaha whatever, as long as you get what I'm trying to say.

HAHA

'till then kids, be good. Don't let world bite your ass. HAHA once again :p

p/s: God is punishing me, you should be happy, you know? :)

don't you know that i belong arm in arm with you, baby?

FreshLook Illuminate offers free lenses before (I don't remember when, it's been so long already haha) and look what I got!

Received it earlier today. For those who might be asking 'where can I get these free babies', well, they don't give those lenses free anymore (I've checked the site already) but they give you this super value promotion - buy 5 boxes free 1 box *grins* do check their website for more infos.

That is it for now.

XOXO

laissez-moi vivre ma vie

2010-06-21T01:09:00.005+08:00

I don't wanna waste my times and my life on holding grudge anymore. I don't wanna have doubts with God ever again, for whatever He has planned for me, He knows best.

Life is too short to worry on unnecessary things.

No more negative thoughts.

For those who I have hurt in the past, I am very sorry. For other things that I do from now on, please, don't play God. Let Him do the work, for He is the only one who has the right to punish me for my sins. Capisce? :)

Hmm..I wonder how Russell Lee looks like?

2010-06-19T20:32:00.003+08:00

I woke up today thinking that I wanna continue doing my work, but before that, Facebook as usual. The games are so addictive! Haha then suddenly this ad caught my eyes. Turned out it's a page for Singapore's upcoming movie, Haunted Changi. I don't know what to expect from this movie as the trailer looks pretty much like The Blair Witch Project-ish. But I hope it's good though! *grins*

Anyway, I've never been to Singapore, so I don't know what that place is. They said it's (the Old Changi Hospital) the most haunted place in world. Wow! Crazy! I wanna know know more about the hospital, I end up Google-ing about it. But instead of looking for infos about the hospital, I am stuck at this site. Been reading it since this afternoon. Lol. Reminds me of the older days where I used to read (and still reads) True Singapore Ghost Stories. What an awesome books! I still wonder how Russell Lee looks like though. Hahaha

(Haunted Changi Trailer)

p/s: and there goes my plan on doing my work. haha

when will my name be on it?

2010-06-18T23:10:00.006+08:00

(The samples. Not the actual size. I printed it wrongly at first, that's why you see the small sized one. Haha)

(The first one, in case you wanna know ;p)

Finally, my cousin's wedding card is done. But knowing me, I might change it last minute again later, since I've changed the design from the first one before. Haha been sleeping late these few days just to finish up the card. I don't know when is the dateline actually. I just wanted to finish it fast and print the sample for her and her soon-to-be husband to see. I hope they like it though. I hope they LOVE it. Eeep!

This is the samples though. I print it on A4 paper and that pink paper my dad bought long time ago. Haha

Now that the card is done, next thing will be the envelope. Wish me luck!

Light Leak Tutorial

2010-06-17T16:55:00.015+08:00

Found this tutorial about light leak on Abduzeedo website. The tutorial is in video. Just in case you still don't know how or you are new in Photoshop, here's the written version of it :D

01. Enter Quick Mask mode (or just press Q)

02. Paint the whole image red (with Paint Bucket)

03. Then select Brush tool > set Hardness 0% > set Flow 20% and paint the area where you want the light to leak.

04. Exit Quick Mask (just press Q) and you'll see dancing ants around the area that you brush earlier.

05. Go to Image > Adjustment > Curves (or click Create new fill or adjustment layer at the bottom of the Layer palette). Adjust the RGB, Red, Green and Blue like in the pictures (I edit mine to soft light leaks, making it vintage/retro color, if you want the obvious one, bring up the RGB and Red, and down the Green and Blue)

06. And pretty much that's it. Lol. Have fun and good luck!

Inspirational Site #1

2010-06-17T01:27:00.011+08:00

The first inspirational website I wanna share with you today is Design Aglow. I've been designing my cousin's wedding card in the past few days. It really annoyed me when one time I think the design is ok, the next it'll be like, 'oh no, change! change!' Google and Flickr has been my bestfriends all of the time until it leads me to this site. I felt in love, on the first sight! Lol

What I love about this site is probably the pretty photos and awesome designs of photobooks, cards, etc. I really love things that has simple designs but yet still looks stunning. And their works, just awesome! They have their works for sale though if you wanna know more about how's how, what's what etc at affordable prices.

But if you want a sneak peek, you can always head over to their blog. They have like everything you wanna know there.

(Loving this photobooth album. You can purchase the templates on their site)

Did I tell you I absolutely love this site? Lol. Yes, I do. I really love clean and simple artworks but still makes me goes Wow! And this site, just wow me. What more can I say? :)

(p/s: sorry I'm not an expert at writing reviews. Hope you still understand what I'm trying to say. Haha)

listen, listen

2010-06-17T00:59:00.002+08:00

Yes, I know my blog is getting boring each days. No updates. If there is any update, it will be some boring craps. Hessh. So, I've decided to spice this blog up.

Listen, listen whoever who wanna listen.

I'm going to move back all the tutorials I've written in my previous blog to this one. Also, I will try to update as much as I can on some inspirational sites that I found useful and well, of course, inspirational. Like d'uh? Hahaha

Ok, where shall I begin?

On to the next entry! Yup.

A hybrid cat, can't fly

2010-06-15T16:37:00.006+08:00

sebenarnya, original ada di sini. asalnya aku namakan dia nie miu. kucing hybrid konon. tapi bila aku google dah ada nama miu (miu miu ada, miu pun ada hehe) so aku tukarlah jadi a hybrid cat, can't fly. dah diupload di redbubble tapi tak mendapat sambutan. bwahahaha nak print sendiri budget tak ada. saja2 nak submit di threadless. kalau dapat, kira oklah, kalau tak dapat pun tak apa. at least sudah cuba. hehe

bagi yang nanti nak tanya apa beza upload di redbubble dan threadless, redbubble tak perlu ada peringkat2 untuk upload. threadless ada peringkat2. macam sekarang, design aku masih dalam peringkat pending approval untuk masuk scoring. masuk scoring nanti pun kena promote lagi. kalau dapat banyak vote, maka mungkin tinggilah percentage untuk diprint. tolong2lah ya? aku pun nak tengok jugak macam mana rupa dia nie kalau dah siap print. hehe

tu saja update buat masa nie. kena tunggu 4-8 business days untuk masuk scoring. nanti update lagi.

bubbye

[UPDATE]

I didn't get it. LOL. nevermind. will try again next time! :D

and she sat there, reminiscing all night

2010-06-14T00:02:00.008+08:00

oleh sebab aku tak ada buat apa malam nie (asalnya nak siapkan kerja terbengkalai. well, paham2 ajela. bila dah bukak itu ini memang takkan jadi punya! haha) aku pun baca post2 lama kat blog lama aku dulu. blog tu sekarang dah kongsi dengan ramai orang, tapi sampai sekarang aku tengok satu update pun tak ada. macam mana tu? hahaha

bila aku baca balik post2 lama, aku macam, 'wei, macam mana aku boleh ada idea nak tulis camtu eh?' gilalah, ayat pun agak kalau nak suruh aku tulis macam tu lagi sekarang memang tak dapatlah. haha kali nie aku nak kongsi post2 lama yang ku suka. anda tak suka, tak apa. hahaha

"whoa! rasa seperti terkena 300 hits semasa perlawanan level akhir SNK vs Capcom juga saat terkena headshot semasa bermain Counter Strike *sigh* aku kalah dan mati lagi. damn" - (mungkin aku juga patut membeli pakaian mahal dan berjenama. Nov 9, 08) hahaha aku rasa time nie mesti aku tengah gian main 2 games tu.

"(4) imej-imej yang aku pilih susah nak di'interpretive'kan sebab secara 'descriptive'nya memanglah boleh dibuat (kena cerita secara 'surface' sahaja), begitu juga 'cultural influences'nya yang sampai sekarang aku tak boleh kaitkan dengan masyarakat dan semua. 'critical evaluation' mungkin boleh tulis merapu-rapu (kot)" - (padan muka, buat kerja last minit lagi. Nov 8, 08) wei, nie aku ke yang tulis nie?? sumpah aku dah tak paham mende kot sekarang! haha adoih!

"dia sudah tiada. Oct 11, 08." - lepas aku post entry nie ramai tanya apa kes? pastu aku tipu, aku cakap entry tu kononnya untuk try nasib masuk buku stormkitchen tapi itu sebenarnya apa jadi kat aku hari2 sebelumnya, masa tu memang fasa jiwa kacau dalam hidup aku. hahaha

"alove vs loneliness. Aug 24, 08" - aku rasa aku memang tak pernah kesah sorang2. apa yang aku kesah tu, like i said, loneliness. tapi bila aku fikir balik, kalau dah sorang2, mesti loneliness tu selit sekali kan? tapi lagi, kalau kau pandai, tu kau boleh buang jauh. dulu masa sorang2, banyak benda aku belajar sebab kerja jadi observer jer tiap hari. gila rindu! sekarang aku dah jadi makin bodoh kot. hahaha

"susuk the movie: dari hati seorang penonton. Aug 8, 08" - buat review pastu amir muhammad & ajami hashim datang singgah blog aku baca. gilalah! nasib baik dorang rilek jer jawab soalan aku. hahaha

satu benda lagi aku rindu nak buat, tutorial photoshop tu. bila aku baca balik, aku sendiri pun dah ter-ooh, eh boleh ek? etc. lama gila aku tak pegang photoshop, benda2 cmtu pun aku lupa. hahaha

sekali-sekala ingat benda lama pun best jugak kan? kalau ada benda elok yang kita belajar pada masa lepas, bawak untuk kita jalan ke masa depan. tapi, yelah kan, kita manusia, cacat cela memang banyak. cakap nak ingat, tak nak ulang tapi kadang2 kita TER jugak kan? haha

aku rasa aku tak boleh buat business. kau nak tau kenapa?

satu benda siapa2 pun yang baca akan cakap aku bodoh: aku takut nak charge orang. serius weh, lebih2 lagi cousin2/kawan2 sendiri.

masa aku mula2 dapat job dulu memang aku tak ada untung langsung. yelah, orang dok ulang2 kata budget tak cukup aku pun jadi segan nak letak harga.
keluar budget agak banyak jugaklah untuk album. bagi photographer yang satu lagi. last2 aku tak ada untung pun. RM50 jer dapat 'untung'. hahaha sedih sial jadi aku. nak carik duit tapi tak pandai. apa pun tak pandai.

apa yang aku pandai?
main game, kot.
hahaha

dahlah.

cause I'm just one of those ghosts travelin endlessly

2010-06-07T01:18:00.005+08:00

And now I'm told that this is life
That pain is just a simple compromise
So we can get what we want out of it

Would someone care to classify?
A broken heart and some twisted minds
So I can find someone to rely on
And run to them, to them
Full speed ahead
Oh, you are not useless

We are just misguided ghosts travelin endlessly

malam ini mari kita merapu

pernah tak dalam hidup kau, kau terasa kosong yang amat sangat? bukan sekali, tapi berkali2. aku rasa dalam bulan lepas & bulan nie aku rasa kosong gila babi. sial tau tak perasaan camtu! orang lain langkah dah jauh. aku masih lagi terkial2 carik apa motif aku hidup sebenarnya.

kosong.

kosong gila.

cubaan pertama menulis haiku. masa nie aku ingat lagi aku nak balik dari library tapi hujan lebat. jadi aku duduk depan tempat study (aku tak ingat dah apa namanya. kalau kau belajar kat UiTM, Shah Alam mesti kau tau. alaaa, dekat tangga nak naik library tu. haha) masa tu tempat tu agak kosong. aku tengok hujan dan kerusi kuning jer.

hujan. kosong. kosong.

and with that, I thank you.

(Wani Ardy - 24 carat)

dua - tiga minggu nie memang kepala aku serabut gila fikir macam2 hal. salah satu, yang nie lah. tapi bila baca post Wani Ardy nie tadi, ntah kenapa aku rasa lega gila. last2, aku senyum sendiri. rasa macam nak tampar diri sendiri laju2 pun ada sebab suka sangat nak kasi pening. haha

terima kaseh Wani Ardy, sebab post kau nie buat aku sedar. buat aku berhenti menyoal "kenapa..kenapa..kenapa" buat aku berhenti mencari sebab2 yang aku sendiri tak perlu. sebab teman peringkat enam aku dah ada depan mata.

terima kaseh. terima kaseh sangat2 :)

(kalau ada yang terbaca, aku cuma nak kata, terima kaseh atas segala hal2 dulu. kiranya ada yang terasa semasa bersama dulu, aku mintak maaf banyak2. hal2 yang lain, biarlah Tuhan saja yang hukum aku. ok?)

maybe someday we'll figure all this out

aku rasa Rob Thomas nie buat lagu untuk aku kot. tau-tau jer sekarang nie aku tengah down gila dengan hidup sendiri. haha
ntahlah, sejak kebelakangan nie aku rasa mood aku macam sial kadang-kadang. rasa nak lempang diri sendiri pun ada jugak. yelah, tiap-tiap malam fikir masa depan, pastu nangis sampai tertido. ah, i know, gila macam gampang nak emo-emo sampai nangis kan? hahaha *gelak kat diri sendiri*
tadi aku lepak dengan shirley. cerita pasal masa akan datang. aku tau dia sedih. yelah, sampai kata "aku rasa macam tak ada harapan jer nak dapat kerja". aku pun terdiam jugak. dalam hati, pergh, sama sial dengan apa yang aku fikir. mana taknya, resume dah hantar banyak. satu pun tak ada respond. nak jer letak dalam resume tu, "dear sir/mdm, if you happen to not wanting to hire me (betul ke ayat aku nie?), can you please mail back the resume?" hahaha yelah, ingat print resume, fotostat sijil bagai tak keluar duit ke? lmao
niat memang nak terbang ke seberang balik nak cuba nasib kat sana pulak. tapi parents aku dok tahan-tahan aku. tak bagi. aduh! bapak aku pulak tak habis-habis suruh aku mintak jadi cikgu. ye, aku tau sekarang aku tak boleh memilih kerja, tapi aku tak minat nak buat macam mana. nanti anak orang tak belajar apa dari aku. lol tapi, Alhamdulillah lah setakat nie ada gak wedding job datang dari cousin-cousin aku. syukurlah, at least aku ada duit belanja lepas nie. speaking of that, pertama kali aku dapat job buat kad kahwin. agak susah jugaklah. sebab aku bukan designer. tapi aku cuba sedaya upaya aku buat yang terbaik untuk dorang. tapi details apa dorang tak bagi lagi, jadi percentage keterujaan tu dah mula kurang. hahaha haish, tak baik complaint-complaint! *tampar mulut sendiri*

(contoh kad kahwin cousin aku. dah siap print sample nanti aku tunjuk balik)

aku rasa website terbaik nak carik contoh design ialah Flickr. selain daripada tu Googlelah paling senang. haha aku tabik gila dengan orang kat sana. design simple-simple jer tapi menarik gila kalau tengok. aku cuba nak jadi macam tu. hehe
oh..aku rasa aku macam nak sambung belajar nanti. tapi nak kumpul duit dulu. best jugak kalau dapat sambung belajar kat overseas kan? haha haritu usya-usya website, jumpa satu nie. NY Film Academy. course menarik gila jer. bayangkan, siapa yang nak buat master dengan dorang, dorang bagi (tak taulah pulak bagi terus ke bagi pinjam, tapi dua-dua pun ok. haha) Canon 5D Mark II. gila kau! haha tapi syllabus memang menarik. tempat belajar pun best, universal studios. haa, nak belajar pun semangat. masa tu aku siap download brochure, application form & course brochure lagi. punya teruja kan! tapi, bila dapat pergi tu tak taulah. aku hanya dapat angan-angan jer dulu. lol

oklah. aku pun tak tau dah nak tulis apa. saja nak update blog.
till then,
buhbye!

moodswing agak kurang ajar lately. selalu nak sentap2, selalu nak maki2..mungkin sebab aku dah bosan gila babi kot. bosan dengan..ntah what so ever i don't know i try not to care but i still care. see..merapu!

haih...

semalam aku cuba hilangkan kebosanan aku dengan mendownload online game tapi streamyx sejak kebelakangan nie macam cibai..perasan tak? terbantut nafsu nak download movie, games segala. haish!

harinie tak benda sangat yang dibuat. rutin hari2 sama jer. bangun tengah hari. basuh baju. masak makan. online sampai tengah malam padahal tak ada benda pun yang nak disurfkan. tapi harinie aku rajin sikit (sikit jer) pegi google macam mana nak buat flash website. baca, baca dan baca sampai hujung post bila dia kata, kalau tak boleh jugak nak buat, bolehlah bukak account kat wix.com dah tersedia ada template boleh guna. oh, posting tutorial tu memang tak membantu langsung. tengok aku dah malas nak belajar macam mana nak buat. sekarang aku dah ada account pun kat wix.com. tinggal nak edit jer lagi. hahaha yelah2, nanti2 aku belajar. tunggu aku download adobe flash ke what ever software.

nielah preview sikit. agak cool lah jugak. boleh perasan pro buat website ye tak? hahaha tapi the downside of this website nie dengan kadar kelajuan shitmyx yang memang tahap nak kena maki nie adalah lambat nak load (kadang2 jer). kalau kau orang jenis tak sabar, memang baik buat sendiri lah jawabnya. hoooo..oklah, thats it for today. till then, bubbyes!

More photos from Olympus E-PL1

2010-05-20T15:07:00.010+08:00

and sorry, I don't have any other model than this cat. He came to our house few days ago and I fell in love..awww! LOL
No worries, I will take photos with human soon. Hahaha

Taken with P mode if I'm not mistaken. Having trouble with trying to focus on the subject. Manual focusing didn't really help that much.

Taken with Scene - Portrait mode. I think I've finally 'conquered' the focusing system. Hahaha

Taken with Scene - e-Portrait mode. I seriously don't know what's the different between Portrait and e-Portrait =.="

and last one with Art Filter - Soft Focus effect. Ladidadida....I would love to post more of the photos here but by the time you finish reading this post, you will puke cats. Haha so till we meet again, adiosssssssssss!

The not-really-a-review on Olympus E-PL1

2010-05-19T23:21:00.012+08:00

NOTE: I will not discuss on the specs or compare it with other point and shoot camera because I seriously don't know. You have to do research on your own as I only write based on my 1 week (sort of) experience using the camera. Ok? :)

Well, first thing first, I know nothing about Olympus E-PL1. My brother did all of the researches as he is the one who wanted the camera. Of course his first choice (and everybody else haha) is Panasonic GF-1 which again I don't know anything about it.
The thing that I like about this camera is of course the obviously awesome Art Filter. It comes with six different effects - Gentle Sepia, Pop Art, Soft Focus, Pinhole, Diorama and Grainy Film. So far, I'm loving the Pinhole effect but I think it enhances the color too much that you have to edit it a little bit on Photoshop. Without the Art Filter, the images are superb too, so, no worries about that. The video mode, what more can I tell you about it? You can record HD quality movies with this baby! You gotta love the Diorama effect on the video (yup, you can use the Art Filter on video too) as it creates the timelapse mode to it.
But, the downside thing about this camera is when you use Art Filter, it tends to slow the camera down. I don't know whether its because of the speed class of our memory card or what but when you put on other modes, you won't have any problem with it. The other thing that I noticed is the focusing system. At first I thought that it only happen when you use the iAuto mode. But then, it does the same with other modes. The focus is all over the places and its really hard to focus on your subject. Manual focus doesn't help that much either. Maybe I need to read the manual again haha. That's the only problem that I noticed about the camera. Other than that, it works fine for me. Wether the camera is worth your money or not, my brother keep saying, "Sik rugi beli camera tok" - which pretty much mean, yes, it's worth your money! Haha

The price: RM2499 with 14-22mm lens and the usual (free bag, MMC and tripod) or RM3000+ with 14-22mm lens + another lens (I don't remember what lens) + adapter. I don't know what adapter but I'm pretty sure its the ermm..lens/body adapter(?) so you can attached you other lens to the camera.

(p/s: there are some photos and video using this camera on my Flickr. Do ch-ch-ch-check it out!)

HEAR YE! HEAR YE!

2010-05-18T23:39:00.007+08:00

I now have a new Flickr.

Oh, I forgot, I've already put it up on top of my blog. Heh.

I got a big ego, such a huge ego

2010-05-11T22:39:00.004+08:00

aku nie hati agak batu sikitlah kalau bab-bab mintak maaf lebih-lebih kalau bukan salah aku. dalam hati aku selalu cakap, "eh, apasal pulak aku yang kena mintak maaf. kau yang buat taik kat aku". haritu, ez cakap, jangan, tak baik dendam. aku balas balik, mana ada dendam, betol apa, kenapa aku pulak nak kena buat semua tu. dah dia jahat dengan aku, sapa suruh. lagi dia tambah, biarlah orang nak buat jahat kat kau sekalipun. kalau kau buat macam tu, tak ke sama gak kau dengan dorang. oh well, memandangkan perasaan amarah masa tu membuak-buak (hehe) aku buat donno jer dengan apa yang ez cakap. tapi lepas tu lama-lama, aku terfikir balik. betul jugak apa kata ez. tapi ego masih lagi tinggi masa tu, dalam hati cakap, eh apahal kan? nanti dorang kata aku lemah, aku kalah. so, aku cakap kat diri sendiri, buat apa? pegi mintak maaf lagilah kau kene hanjeng dengan dorang. kan? lepas tu, aku pun malaslah nak fikir. tapi tak nak fikir pun, fikir jugak. lagilah serabut kepala otak aku. jadi haritu lepas solat, aku doa kat Tuhan, mintak Dia lembutkanlah hati aku supaya boleh nak mintak maaf walaupun bukan salah aku. lepas tu aku doa lagi, kalau hati aku nie keras jugak, degil jugak tak nak buat, mintak tolong Dia berilah petunjuk ke apa untuk guide aku. esoknya, sorang kawan dalam facebook aku post status dia berbunyi macam nie:

"Rasulullah s.a.w bersabda yang maksudnya: “Sesiapa yang ada sebarang kesalahan dengan saudaranya maka hendaklah diselesaikan sekarang, kerana sesungguhnya di sana (di akhirat) tiada lagi wang ringgit untuk dibuat bayaran, (yang ada hanyalah) diambil hasanah (kebaikan) yang ada padanya, kalau dia tidak mempunyai kebaikan, diambil keburukan orang itu lalu diletakkan ke atasnya.” Riwayat Bukhari"

Tuhan dah bagi jalan, tunjuk, aku ikut. aku rasa lega sangat. kalah ke tak kalah ke, memang buang jauh-jauh perasan tu. aku pun sebenarnya penat nak gaduh-gaduh nie. yelah, tempat kecik, pusing-pusing pun jumpa jugak. terima kaseh, Tuhan. walaupun dulu aku selalu abaikan Kau, Kau tak pernah putus tolong aku bila aku mintak. bagi sapa-sapa yang hati keras cam batu macam aku tu, marilah sama-sama kita cuba mintak maaf walaupun kita rasa susah sangat nak buat. tak apa, biarlah orang nak kata kita lemah ke, kita kalah ke. tu boleh tolak tepi. just remember that, and i quote; it takes a big person to apologize and a bigger person to accept the apology.

;)

Duhh, Flickr nie dah kenapa?

2010-05-11T21:53:00.005+08:00

aku tak ingatlah masalah aku bermula bila, tapi lepas dari haritu kalau nak upload gambar, hareeeemm memang tak boleh. pastu kawan aku suruh download Flickr Uploadr. hah, uploadnya lepas satu gambar jer. pastu terus tak boleh. kalau yang pegi usya flickr aku (kalau adalah haha) tengok takda hupdate, maapla.

ha, nie mesti ada yang cakap, "hekeleh, gambar tak hebat mana pun..tak update pon takpa." - oh manngg, gila pessimist aku. hahaha

gambar tunang itu hari tak edit lagi. oh noooes! ada sesapa nak tolong editkan untuk aku, for FREE? bwahaha

"Sorry, saya sibuk"

2010-05-11T21:27:00.004+08:00

ok tipu. aku nak sibuk apa, kerja pun takda. haha planning nak ke seberang dalam bulan depan or july, tapi teringat pulak hujung bulan july and awal bulan august ada wedding job. plan nak terus terbang 2hb, konon nak celebrate birthday aku kat sana bersama kekaseh & kengkawan kat sana, sekali teringat, "habis, bilanya aku nak buat editing semua bagai?" argghh! demmit. habis tu bila aku nak ke sana? warrgghh, aku dah bosan siak kat sini. mati kutu! (oh oh, silalah jangan kutuk saya tak sayang hometown saya) aku memanglah sukakan hometown aku - gila apa tak sayang tempat sendiri, cuma aku rindu life kat sana. sobs ;( lagipun, aku rindu kawan-kawan aku kat sana. *sigh.

doa-doakanlah aku boleh ke sana dalam lepas raya ke ok? thanks. sayang kamu semua! ;p

p/s: semalam aku pi testing abang aku punya kamera baru. masyuk gak! olympus e-pl1. lagi-lagi ada mode buat timelapse. seronok! yang nie video aku amek semalam. saja testing. kekaseh kata boring boleh buat tido. hahaha

you honestly think its real? i think you may be possessed..by an idiot

2010-04-26T21:55:00.006+08:00

just watched Paranormal Entity (PE) earlier. i've read that anything that was made by The Asylum were bad. i dont know. havent watch other movies by them. but i would say that PE isnt that bad after all.
if you've watched Paranormal Activity (PA), PE is almost similar like that (well, of course it does..lol) except that its about the Finley's family (mom: Ellen, son: Thomas and daughter: Samantha). if you wanna know more about this movie, just googled it. haha at this point, i dont know which one is better. i mean, i like PA, it does somehow scared me but some or maybe most part of the movie just bored me. as for PE, it also scared me but bored me at the same time. lol but at least in PE, like someone who commented the trailer on Youtube said and i quote: "PE isn't quite as creepy but it is more entertaining, more colorful, with more of a story." yep. what he/she said. hehe

off topic. i was reading the comments on Youtube and its funny how this dude (or girl) thought that the movie is real. hahaha man, i love reading comments on Youtube. if you're feeling super stress i suggest you Youtube some funny videos then read the comments. you would be laughing out loud. trust me! haha

anyway, back to PE. who sleeps with only bra & panties when you know that theres some pervert demon who would harass you while you sleep? samantha you're super genius! lol ;p

Dear John; Book & Movie Review, sort of :)

2010-04-25T23:57:00.007+08:00

i dont know since when i have this sort of habit to read the book first then watch the movie. oh wait, yeah, i guess i know when. its started when i first read p/s: i love you. i told myself to read the book first then watch the movie, just to see which one is better. should've watch the movie first though coz in the end, the book always ended up way more better than the movie. haha

so, as usual, i read the book. i never read anything from nicholas sparks though, but im very much in love with the notebook (the movie of course). im pretty sure the book is hella awesome too. (please remind me to buy it yeah? lol) well, to be honest, i didnt really like dear john. didnt like the ending to be exact. i know, i know if every books have happy ending, it would be boring then but..erh, i dont know. i just thought that it would be nice if its end up the other way.

the movie? hmm..the first minute of it i already know that its totally different from the book. which made the percentage of the excitement dropped a little bit. so i end up didnt like the movie either. maybe i would love the movie if its follow exactly like the book but change the ending. haha theres some parts that made me cried tho. the part where john & his dad, and towards the ending where savannah said..oh wait, no, i wont give you the "spoiler alert". see the movie yourself. lol but you know what i love about the movie? the outtakes. hahaha

although the book & movie..well, they didnt sucks, just..emm..a little bit..emm..i dont know whats the word. haha well, they didnt sucks, maybe a little bit. maybe because they made the notebook so freaking beautiful & great that when they tried to make dear john just like that, they failed. i dont know. lets just hope the last song would be at least better than dear john. *grin*
(p/s: the soundtrack is nice though. didnt know that amanda seyfried can sing. little house def my fav ;)
(p/s/s: channing tatum made me smiles like an idiot. man, he's so fiiiiinnneee! dayyyyuummm! ;p)

sometimes you get run down. sometimes life throws dirt in your eyes and it stings and you can't see for a few minutes. even after you get it out, your eyes are all red and your vision is shitty, but eventually, whether through tears or maybe just time you start to see even clearer than before. life is not always good. and you know what? to anyone that ever told you that you're no good, they're no better -- hayley williams
