In Time We Trust!

When we were young, really really young when we first entered school, we had to fill form stating our three ambitions in life and mine were: 1. Artist, 2. Teacher and 3. Fireman. NOW, after years and many years later, i'm proud to say i achieved two out of three of my naive ambition. No, unfortunately i'm not working as a Fireman. (Maybe if i was, i'll get more chances to be in a relationship since woman prefer man in uniform. Too bad for me then.)

1. Artist. Well, i think i could say i'm an artist. I have always love arts, any form of arts: film, painting, architecture, graphic design, music, photography and so on. I've also been participated for years now in art and photography exhibitions. But i'm still in developing process thou, of getting to know my art and myself as an artist. Even if i never exhibited before, a good friend of mine, Saad once told me that: "We are an artist even without any artwork" (He's a genius with words to make us feel good about ourselves). Anyways, I would really like to see where future will leads me with this path.

2. Teacher. I worked part-time on the weekends before, couple years back teaching arts to kids at Art Attack in One Utama and i really looove it. Getting paid to play colors with those amazing kids was really fun. And NOW, starting middle of last February, i'm really excited and grateful to be teaching in one of the pretigious international art university, Limkokwing University Creative Technology. Honestly, i was scared at first, before the classes started but it wasn't as scary as i thought it will be. I'm enjoying it. It's like all my favourite things in one place; teaching, arts, meeting strangers from different cultures and sexy chicks :)

NOW, finally i could smile and have more trust in time!

I'm Honoured to be Exhibiting at National Art Gallery.

This is to inform you that the Balai Seni Lukis Negara, Malaysian Social Research Institute and RA Fine Arts Gallery will officially launch our Charity Exhibition on Palestine on 20th February 2009 (Friday) at 3pm by Datin Paduka Marina Mahathir. The curator for this event will be Dato' Syed Ahmad Jamal, the National Laureate.

As you may already heard from the media, the situation in Gaza Strip is recovering albeit slowly and a lot of reconstruction and rehabilitation works are required in order to reach the displaced population who are living in an extreme condition. To date, there are nearly 500 artworks on display by some 230 emerging and established Malaysian artists. This exhibition aims at generating fund through the selling of the artworks in which the fund will be used to buy much needed food and medicines for the Palestinian in Gaza Strip.

VENUE: Balai Seni Lukis Negara
No 2, Jalan Temerloh, off Jalan Tun Razak,
53200, Kuala Lumpur
The exhibition will ends this 28 February, so please do come.

On other note, i'm grateful everything NOW seems in the right place.

I'm Touched By Your Thought of Me

Just Like Heaven
By Katie Melua

Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream he said
The one that makes me laugh he said
And threw his arms around my neck
Show me how you do it
And I promise you I promise that
I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you

Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed his face and kissed his head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
To make him glow
Why are you so far away, he said
Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you
That I'm in love with you

You, soft and only
You,lost and lonely
You, strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream
You're just like a dream

Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe his name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only boy I loved
And drowned him deep inside of me

You, soft and only
You, lost and lonely
You, just like heaven

You, soft and only
You, lost and lonely
You, just like heaven

Thank you for this song babe.
You would never know how much it meant to me :P

So Far 2009 Been So Good It's Scary, You Know.

Today, it's only the thirteenth, and i tell you my friends whoever you are out there, life is good. Well, probably not as good as; let say Brad Pitt's or David Beckham's but yeah life is pretty decent good to me.

You know, i prefer to live my life simple and i dont really have big expectation in life. So anything that comes better than simple is always make me feel pretty good.

So yeah, alhamdulillah (praise god) to life and whatever lies in the future. But, let's us work harder for the present bebeh!!!

I Tried to Write Oh, So Many Times on How Wonderful 2008 Has Been For Me, But Words Failed Me!!!

My 2009 resolution

is :

Hope is Bad,
Work Harder!!!

I'm Featured in Sin Chew Daily Northern Edition, Is That Cool or Not?

LOMO exhibition in Penang, article published in Sin Chew Daily Northern edition, page 08.

The English translation:
Third annual lomography exhibition with the title "Gia Gia Kua Kua" (walk walk see see in hokkian) in Penang is held at Simon Tan Gallery from 14th-20th December.

Chow Jee Peng: Gia Gia Kua Kua
The exhibition planner Chow Jee Peng says, majority in Penang is Hokkian, the language spoken here is usually Hokkian, and so the title for the event is named because of that. The photos being exhibited are submited by 45 LOMO enthusiast from all over the country.

Penang atracts more tourist since it was declared the world herritage by UN in July 2008, it is also the reason Jeepeng held the event in penang.

Organizer invites all who're interested with lomography to visit the gallery.

For Old Time Sake.

A good friend said my writting doesn't sounded at all like me in person.
She said it sounded fake.
Well you know babe, i wish i could write better, expressing exactly how i feel deep inside.
But really i dunno how.
And you should know by now babe, even in real life, i have trouble blending in and expressing myself better to others.
In a way, it does sound like me.

Anyways,
I'm back from Penang safely.
Had a really good time with good friends enjoying the most of everything Penang could offer.
The exhibition went really well, thank you.
Thanks a million to everyone who organised, participated and came to the exhibition.

Since i know nobody really read this blog, and there's only few really, really close friend that i know of who knows about this blog.
So i guess, it's OK to tell you my friends, how glad it was for me to meet again with my First Love.
Yes, in Penang.
She lived there now.
She's happily married and has a daughter.
She knew i'm coming.
She called.
Invited me for lunch but due to time constraint, she just drove me around town and sent me off at Batu Ferringhi.

You know, i guess i'm sort of Romanticist.
I treasure small things in life.
I treasure friendship.
I treasure my memories.
Hence the blog's name.

And seeing her again after like so many years,
It does make me feel good.
I don't know how to better describe it, just good.
Tickling inside good.
Knowing that our memories will last forever.

The only favour i would ask is her friendship.
I want her to know i'm not that kid i used to be.
I wanna watch her daughter grow up.
And all those stuff in between.

Yes, i'm silly.
I know.
