Nasib baik ticket free...

Went to Miri International Jazz Festival last night with Pika, Halim and Aron and all I can say is jazz festival tu sangat boring tahap gaban... LOL. But I am not sure la if toward the end jadi lebih best ke tak pasal we decided to go makan somewhere else after that.

Uhuk~ No wonder la tickets for that festival boleh jatuh harga kaw kaw on the last minute and siap jadi free pulak tu. Double LOL.

If you're a photography enthusiast memang best la if you wanna take pictures tapikan honestly, event tu tak turn me on langsung. Memang tak best la. Abis cerita. Baik tengok muka kitorang je eh. Triple LOL.








Semalam pergi tegur gf kawan sedangkan gf dia bukan kawan pun. Bila gf kawan tu tanya macam mana kenal, I told her I saw her picture in FB. Kantoi! When I thought about it rasa macam tak gunanya aku! Uwaaa...

Mr. H pernah cakap kat status dia ".. i think everyone stalks in facebook...ngaku je laa stalker2 sekalian haha".

Hahaha la sangat... -.-

Gawai Dayak Dinner 2010

Miri Division Gawai Dayak Dinner 2010
8th May 2010
Dewan Suarah, Miri



First of all I would like to say trillion of thank you to Aunty Rosita for inviting and also belanja-ing  me to Miri Division Gawai Dayak 2010 Dinner last Saturday. Thanks Aunty! And aunty, if you read this, I would like you to know that I am dedicating all the pictures in this entry for you. Seriously it was such a very great event except for the speech part lah kan yang sangat ZzzzZ-ing. :P

I am not very sure the exact or main objective of this event. But basically it is an event towards Gawai Dayak celebration (sort of Pesta Menuai) yang akan disambut on June 1st nanti oleh those Dayak community (which includes Iban, Kelabit, Bidayuh, Kenyah, and other natives community in Sarawak). So they have a sort of beauty contest among their small community, contohnya among the Iban, among the Bidayuh and also among the Orang Ulu (which includes Kelabit, Kenyah… etc). And they will have the whole Sarawak punya contest on Gawai Dayak Eve nanti which will be held in Kuching.

Anyhoo people, I may not be able to show you all the pictures that I took that night. Ada 200 lebih picchas kot, so I’ve made some selection to the pictures and decided to show you just a few.  Enjoy! :D

Hear me

When I was in the car with my mom, she told me that my cousin in Kuching is getting married next month. Honestly, it is an awe-ing news to me because he is only 23 (ke 24) and he is getting married people. Well actually I am okay with it tho. So what if you want to marry at the age of 23. To me as long as you’re ready to commit your life for someone you love then okaylah kan. And most importantly sangat-sangat ready physically, mentally, emotionally and financially, nga ada masalah donkey!

Since I am in a big awe, so I said to my mom, “I always amaze with those people who is confident enough to marry a person they want to marry. How to know he or she is really the one eh, Mak?” Instead of answering my question my mom answered me with this “Ish… Aku jerak aku. Rugi kahwin awal… Jerak aku dengan hidup aku dolok.” Okay lemme translate if for you. My mom said “Ish… Aku menyesal kahwin awal. Menyesal aku dengan hidup aku yang dulu”. Oleh sebab I am not satisfied with her answer at all so I answered her “Ya Mak yang carik pasal”yang bermaksud “Tu Mak yang carik pasal”. Terdiam. LOL.

I didn’t mean to be so kurang ajar or kurang asam to my mother but the thing is whenever I try to have a so called heart to heart session with her, she always macam mengelak you know. Dan itu sangat frustrating. I don’t know whether this is true or not but I can feel that she is insecure whenever I am mentioning about love or marriage to her. And I can say that she’s paranoid too. You, and me are totally different mother. And if pun you want to ‘warn’ your daughter untuk tak perlu terhegeh-hegeh to ask about such thing, you need to realize that I am 23 mother. I am not 17… So, it is totally unfair untuk treat me like that. At the age of 17, you’ve commit to get married while for me, at the age of 17, I was struggling for my SPM and I NEVER have a single thought about getting married pun mother. So, tell me salahkah if I am asking you about this kind of thing now?

People say I am so lucky to have a mother who is so sporting, and very open-minded. I am so sorry people, my mother is only sporting and open-minded when it comes to anak orang lain. Not her daughter. Kesiankan aku nie? LOL.

But never mind, I am not really really into this marriage thingy at the moment. Cuma geram and at the same time geli hati with her response je. I remember last time I need to menyorok from her each time I wanna go to the library to read books. She said library is the place where people selalu dating. I think she did that kot masa gi library dulu-dulu, I mean dating behind my grandparents and she’s afraid if I were to do that too which is sangat dan memang meleset sama sekali! You know, if other people go to the library with friends, I go to the library with my grandma kot. My grandma didn’t escort me actually, but I am the one who requests her to accompany me. Sebab apa? Sebab I really really want to read books and I don’t want my mom to think that I am going to the library untuk dating. If budak-budak lain rasanya malu kot bawak nenek pergi library. -.-

But it’s okay. I can explore life, myself. Afterall, it’s my life need to be lived. So far I did my life well, with less help from my mother. Financially, blessing and du’a of cos la she supports banyak but in terms of guidance, perkongsian reality, idea hidup kurang sikit. Tapi… Sebab my mother beginilah I am becoming what I am today which in some ways I can say I am proud to be me. Hoyeah~

Tapikan here’s some note you should take a note la yea, if you’re a mother or father yang tiba-tiba baca this entry till the end (lol), I really hope you get the message that I am trying to deliver here. As a mother and father, you need to help them and guide them. And please, if your children ask you about life do not leave them with question marks. They need help. They are curious and they really want to know. So please try to be helpful. Just be true je to them. Abis cerita.


PEACE!

Truth is I dont mind at all if my mother read this, which she did (sometimes) by the way. Ambil masa untuk mendengar dan menerima. Not to condemn. May be my points are arguable but I am not interested with arguments. It is enough if you can just spend some times to understand me. When I said “to understand me” I am not expecting you to only understand me. But it is more to, to try to works all the things out together. I never let you down mother. Even though I mad at you and buat don’t know to your request but at the end of the day, I still do what you want me to do even though my heart is not in it.

Let’s take photography for example, you questioned me where did I get the money buying the camera, and you never support me with my interest. You’re making face when I am excitedly tell you whom I befriend with, and whom I met in photography, but when it comes to other people’s children you are positively supportive towards them. Promoting their website lagi when at the end of the day, they are just famously known in Miri and among Sarawak’s photog only. Huihsss… I don’t mean to be so boasting here. Just that now terasa mau meletop sudah okay! Booohooo~ Hoho.

I better stop. The more I write the more sakit hati I become. But before I stop I want you to know that dalam 10 perkara 9/10 I’ve proved you wrong, Mother. We are not the same…

Once again, peace! :P

Couple Portraiture: Rizal & Wani

Hola everyone!

As promised, here's the series of couple portraiture of Rizal and Wani that I've photographed 3 weeks ago. And as I told you before, I've known Wani and Rizal from blogosphere and also from photography! Guess what, Wani also a photog based in Bintulu, Sarawak. Here's Wani weblog and also Tumblr. Go and check it out, people! ;)

On the shooting day, I felt extremely nervous to shoot them and it's kinda funny when I thought about it you know. However, I really had fun shooting them. Real fun! They were so relax and watching them together really makes me melt. LOL. I am so sorry I have no other words to describe my feeling.-.-

To Wani and Rizal thanks for sharing me your love story. This so called Cinta Facebook makes me awe-ing! It's kinda cute to know that Wani's mother also involved in the conspiracy in uniting them. Mothers nowadays...  :P







For those who knows me well, for sure you know that I am a big fan of lalang kan?!!! ;D So here's beautiful lalang in Miri! Cantik giler okayh. :D





So that's it! To Wani and Rizal, wishing you guys lovelayh days ahead. **hugs**

Hati kacau, terkacau, dan dikacau.

I am currently listening to Insha Allah by Maher Zain. Anyway terasa sedikit sengsara to write at the moment because I am writing this dengan lampu yang sudah switched off. I am in my Grandma's room and she has fallen asleep 2 hours ago while me, I have problem untuk melelapkan mata. Of course I have my own room but disebabkan I have experience yang menakutkan di dalam bilik sendiri so I dont sleep in my room except for tidur siang hari. Will tell you about it esok esok saja. Sekarang saya diselubungi kegelapan yang teramat bersama the pure silence, ngeri untuk berbicara tentang itu.

I am unhappy at the moment and I hate to have this feeling but I have no way out I guess except hanya redah saja. There are a lot of question marks, riddles as well as puzzle need to be solved... It's a combo and it relates with one and another! And honestly I feel extremely bercelaru because I do not know how to play it correctly, which one need to be solve first and worst, I dont have idea what is the game is all about actually.

Kenapa tiba tiba hati kacau eh?

Ya Allah, since you've brought me to all these I really hope you'll help me to go through all these too, ya Allah. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY HELP ME TO FINISH IT STRONG YA ALLAH. :"(

If I’m going to continue doing something with my life that takes so much of my time and energy that I can’t even take 10 minutes to read just 2 pages of the Quran a day, maybe I need to re-examine my Life Choices. - Lubna
Mungkin saya perlu mem-purify-kan hati, belajar lebih untuk mengenali diri dan mengurangkan duniawi.

Tolong doakan saya tidak bercelaru dan most importantly, tidak dicelarukan. Terima kasih.

Alkisah semalam...

Currently listening to Another Day in Paradise by Phil Collin.

Jujurnya I feel extremely less motivated to update my blog. But since Encik Keycha San sudah bertanya bila lagi mahu update blog so now I am trying my very best untuk menulis. Yes, Keycha ini untuk kamu… Kamu mahu tahu activity saya di Miri bukan? ;)

But I would like to apologize if the so called “feel” isnt there as in jika penulisan saya tidak sepenuh hati. Serious saya benar benar malas and I am losing my words at the moment -.- Tunggu mood saya rajin yang benar-benar ikhlas untuk menulis itu datang okay ... -.-  But, insha Allah I will try my very best to write here. I try!

Kisah semalam... Bukan kisah semalam ataupun yesterday’s story. Kisah semalam lebih kepada hari hari terdahulu throughout my 15 days in Miri. From Monday to Friday, my life cycle in Miri takda beza sebenarnya. I am living the most unproductive life at the moment. Tido-Online-Makan-TV. Day in and day out, tiada beza. Badan juga mengembang seperti sponge yang gemok mengembang apabila “menyedut” air. Haish~

Akan tetapi, hari saya hanya hidup when the weekends come. I am a weekender. -.-


Hujung minggu pertama, sempat berjumpa dengan kawan sekamera whom I knew through photography and blogging. So meet Wani, her Mr. Boyfie and also my junior back in high school, cute little Seetah (oh dia yang mengambil gambar jadi dia tiada di dalam gambar). Terasa nervous sedikit hari itu kerana perlu menangkap gambar kekasih. Mahu tahu apa jadi sila baca Wani’s blog here. :) And I will show you more of couple portraits of Rizal and Wani in the next entry. Okay? Picture above is courtesy of Wani…

On the next weekend, I went to Seria (Brunei). I am so sorry I have no Brunei’s picture to show you here. I am using my lappy at the moment, and I just remember that I transferred the picchas to my mom’s lappy and not mine. So KIV lah yea. :P


So here comes last weekend punya cerita. Last Saturday was launching day for Miri City Go Green Campaign! Untuk show full support to the campaign, Mak Dot, Nabil and I pun ambik bahagian lah. Pagi-pagi kena aerobic, and I was terkial kial throughout the aerobic session. Dang! But it was fun! Heee… Terasa perut sedikit kempis selepas aerobic. :D

In Miri sekarang most shopping malls will no longer provide you with plastic bag, which I think is good in some ways. Stylo la jugak campaign ni. Lagipun pakai shopping bag lagi senang bawak barang… And most importantly it helps to preserve “kesihatan” mother earth. Menarik kan? :) So, Say No To Plastic Bag okay…

Later at noon, for the first time ever I had a ‘the tarik’ session with my ustaz back in high school, Ustaz Ahmad Fauzi. Nasib baik Nisa joined, tidaklah membosankan my dear Pika since she’s not into photography at all. LOL.


Ustaz and I shared a lot of things about photography – from compo, idea (as in what to shoot) and also editing. And the most interesting part is dapat peluang pegang Canon 5D II Mark + 70-200mm. Mahu menangis dibuatnya. Below are shots from Canon 5D II Mark + 70-200mm. Lihat la depth of field (DOF)nya… Sangat lawaaa.  Maaf jika quality pictures agak low… Sbb dicilok from ustaz’s FB. :D




Lawakan? If tak Saiful Nang tak pakai Canon 5D Mark II... -.-

Boycott!

Photobucket

Let’s boycott Israeli's products for the sake of humanity! We must stop buying from companies that openly support Israel! If boycotting sounds funny to you, I appeal to you to send in cash donations to PALESTINE RELIEF FUND (by MERCY MALAYSIA) as an alternate ways to show your concern. :)
