going up..with colors!!

gahaha im fed up with myself for doing nothing at all nowadays. but with more time to kill. means that more drawing can be done!! haha its kinda funny coz back in schooldays, ive never got a chance to spend my time from zohor to asar drawing! but now, its a necessity...once, I thought that this is totally worthless. i mean, why'd I do this for?? and maybe I can come up with better activity to be done. but Ive tried changing my schedule by reading books after zohor and play games. and you know what? I slept on both tries( tido waktu tgh main, believe it!!) haha..oh and Ive curently change my routine last week and i think its good enough to last for this whole 5 weeks.


my routine:-


1. wake up for subuh(and not sleeping back :D)
2. went to play basketball from 7.30 to 9.oo+-
3. doing house chores
4. watch tv( usually discovery, ngc, history, and lil bit of mtv and bbc just to update myself with current songs and news:)
5. zohor
6. sleep for an hour :P

7. drawing

8. asar

9. house chores

10. play badminton with lil bro( penat kutip shuttle je..T-T)

11. maghrib

12. islamic stuff

13. isyak

14. reading ( currently reading the lovely bones, diary of a wimpy kid, and dictionary(?!)

15. help lil bro doing his homework (plus extra tuition)

16.continue with drawing

note: I dont list on9 coz Im on9 pretty much all the time( on9 means facebooking, watching vid on youtube, play games, reading blogs and articles, editing my drawing on lappy, listening to music, and downloading stuffs)


but the only thing Im sharing here is my drawing hehe so heres the latest..


I love this one. so..comical


actually this is a request from a friend of mine, anisa pattel from new york. she ask me to draw her a curry monster..,,so here it is. all the colouring are made by paint.


its harder than it seems

when I was a kiddo, I used to make something like this, continuous line filling up the whole page. but here I add on some more meaning to it..but sigh, I failed. notice that ive put hidden words in the tubes lining. its supposed to says 'I come in peace'. but I forgot to put the 'e' which change the whole meaning to 'I come in pace' hahahah pace=langkah. gahaha



yela tapi nak kaler ko susah taw x!!?


O yeah I'm so gonna make you a tee-shirt!! ill tell you how I color all my drawings

1. draw using marker, pen or pencil sketch

2. crop using photo viewer

3. maximise contrast( to reduce unnecessary detail like paper texture, and dirt )

4. open with paint. remove any other unnecessarities

5. fill up space by using bucket tools.last touchup using photo gallery( usually adjusting hue, colour temperature and tint)

6. upload!!


the quickest yet meaningful :D


I finish drawing this(including editing) by 20 minutes +- which is a record!( even the diver drawings takes an hour!). this I made after the breaking news of Gaza convoy attack by Israel. You might seen the news in the tv or internet. Its rather sad and dissappointing, but whatever it is, something's gonna happen after this. whatever the response, will have a BIG effects on world specifically to Muslim. here you can watch this clip from facebook http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=128637640495116



now that you've watch it, I ask you, do you see any kind of threat in the activist? I mean look, they were defendless, far more impossible to be accused armed. and look, theres an old folks who the oldest is 88 years old! and also women on board and a one year old child!! yea israel is soo in trouble explaining this to the world. yea now that their true face is revealed. my opinion of whats happening next?? I dunno, but Im pretty much think that it will turn worse for us muslims. why?? coz I read The Holy Quran. that's why...



well that's all for the drawing..



I hope by sharing this helps whoever interested in art to learn. (ini ilmu jugak!!)
btw, this evening im not drawing. Im writing a report of ahmad deedad's debate. credit to luke .logan :D

still..you do not see this

well, Im still experimenting with the shading. and my stroke. yep, I wanna try a different kind of stroke. i do this by simply looking at other people's drawing and apply their tecniques to my drawing. its like what Albert Einstein once said,'' example isn't another way to teach, its the only way to teach''. ..so far so good..n_n



THE PURPOSE OF SHADING...




... now I learn that unnecessary line actually is necessary...




yup, unnecessary lines are generally used by artist to give texture to the object. like if the object is shiny, well the shading should be clear and solid. meanwhile if the object is rough, the shading should be..rough( single line on top of the other, weblike )







this is better, coz its darker :DD



this kind of stroke is widely used in america where you just have to darken the object but leaving a space gap between the actual line. believe me, this effect works in almost anything. thought Im explaining bout shading, theres one important thing I havent done yet, smudging-which can only be done by pencil or charcoal. its a great art of shading due to its ability to tone and to fill up space in a dime. but I cant do it just yet for two reasons, I use pen and marker, and I cant figure out how to do it yet.


ok ive done it!! (this is an update)



well heres my first try...bad isnt it?



the second try. I used pretty much everything. pencil, pen, marker, paint, and picture manager:)

you do not see this..

nothing to see here..shoe-shoe.. hahaha

dah gi wat mende lain. jgn dok buang masa kat sini. tu rumah bersepah gi r kemas!!!!
*kate topek kepade dirinye..


well...here's another of my drawing. it seem pointless, but I say I learn something new!!


SHADING

well,not so bad for a beginner rite?

I learn that if you bold the flip in the shirt or any clothing material, It will look more...smart:P(also works on hair/fur) and Im learning this from azri whom i met on fb. so, thank you azri(and fb:P). haha




trying to draw with a cuter stroke.....

..epic fail

AUSMAT...

ok, so thats not my last post....n_n

well at least SOMETHING happened..

well, Im sharing this story coz....coz I want to!! and I can!! haha :P

this happened yesterday morning..

I wake up in the morning( and doesnt feeling like P Diddy) at 6.45(ish3)...performing my subuh..then watch Malaysia Hari Ini as I wait my lil brother and mother to go to school. then, firstly as usual, I make a kole of milo. then I start....sidai baju by taking all the clothes that have been washed out from the washing machine. put them on a hanger and put a penyepit baju on it. as I do that, I notice two suspicious-looking guys at the loji which is at the back of my house. i've never seen them before neither their car. one of them were already inside the loji. then something comes in my head. I've heard that steel-stealing is pretty active in my town. so I'm expecting them as a steel thief for some reasons:-




  1. Although the fact that were having problems with the loji and they're probably the workers who tried to identify the problems, but the gates is closed..so I suppose the grey guy is entering the loji illegally.

  2. they dont seem to do anything. more like waiting for me to re-enter my house. the grey guy, he just wondering around while observing the steel trapdoor(xtaw name die:P)

  3. the yellow guy, his job seems to make sure the line is clear. he always look around like a hungry man looking for food.

  4. BOTH keep staring at me. they even whisper each other while pointing at me and even gave me a thumbs up!!! WTF??

  5. they're not in uniform :P

I feel so unconfortable and the feeling keeps growing. at last, I've decided to make a move. I went inside. grab my phone. and try to take their picture. Its kinda hard coz I've to wait till both are not looking at me. then I got it. second move, i memorise their car plate, and write them afterwards... so I wrote AER 6876-waja on a paper...my last move, is to delay their project by staying outside although i've finished with the laundry.


susah tol nak pandang belakang pehal?? nah!!! ka-chak!!

after several minutes, they left. so I went outside to sidai baju. I notice a bunch of papers scattered on the ground. I pick it up..and analyze. its a paper from jabatan bekalan air. ok, so i guess I was wrong for suspecting them. but wait!! whats that on the paper?? its a blood stain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my adrenaline is pumping high. I decided to keep them just in case some news show up, I can give this to help.


....blood

then, I continue with my routine which is cooking rice and facebooking. then I heard a shout at the back. adek!! adek!!

me: ye saye??

yellow guy: nampak x borang kat luar tadi?? tercicir pulak.

me: ooo, ni ke?*menunjukkan borang tapi x kasi lagi , nape abg x masuk ikut pagar depan tadi?

yellow guy: haha, xde, tadi kitorang nak amik kunci abg yg pgg kunci tu dah pegi kerja. so, terpakselah jugak ikut belakang. dahla tempat ni jauh dari jabatan bekalan air nye office, malas nak datang dah. abg cari2 r gak org yg pegang kunci tu. xnampak pulak.

me: ...ok, nah *kasi borang tu

yellow guy: trime kasih bebanyak. adek ni bagus la, dah pandai cuci baju sendiri..*sambil thumbs up kat aku* ok abg balik dulu, assalamualaikum

me:....waalaikumussalam warahmatullah...(perasan yang ibu jari kiri abang tu berbalut)

....

ok that explains everything..n_n

moral of the story: sidai baju awal sikit XD

umm this might be my last post for a period of time coz Im about to go to UiTM. so, till next time!!!

p/s: banyak grammar salah, aku taw...

welcome to the caged, framed, limited world...

hahahah sounds pretty big and awful, but its just about me and my spectacles. yup I started wearing it yesterday. so to UiTMians, OR someone who get to MARA's scolarship's university with me insyaallah..will be seeing me wearing glasses. firstly, I wanna say that I'm not happy with it...why? firstly, coz it cost me dear...naah kidding. but still, its not a gim-crack that can be toy with..its pretty expensive, so its precious...and its in my face..T-T


besides, it also remarks the badness that this not-so-holy-day brings. sitting in front of computer more than 12 hours a day(for 5 months!!), this is the least I can get.


but, on the bright side, this glasses somehow give me more confidence...seriously. and duhh, It helps me see clearer. besides, maybe it'll help me recover my eyes, hopefully. yeah, hopefully. I've asked the glassman(memandai je kasi gelaran), he's from Australia.

me: umm sir, I was thinkin...will my eyes get better by wearin this??

glassman:(Australian asc..wait, more like british ascent) well, a lot of customer has asked me the same question. but sorry kid(??!), I cant guarantee that. it seems that the result varies to each person. some get better, some stay the same, and others getting even worse...(grin)

me:..I see...(fake grin)

so, lets just pray that my eyes will get better n_n

al-qiyamah..

ni thread dari blog yus. aku taw bukan semue org bwat. so, aku tolong dengan post makne surah Al-Qiyamah kat sini. bukan panjang pon...same-samelah kita hayati ancaman Allah di dalam surah ini. semoga kita lebih gigih dan bersungguh-sungguh dalam memperbaik amalan kita agar bersedia menghadapi mati yang sudah pasti. wallahulalam..

Al-Qiyamah surah 75


[1]
Aku bersumpah dengan Hari Kiamat;
[2]
Dan Aku bersumpah dengan “Nafsul Lawwaamah” (Bahawa kamu akan dibangkitkan sesudah mati)!
[3]
Patutkah manusia (yang kafir) menyangka bahawa Kami tidak akan dapat mengumpulkan tulang-tulangnya (dan menghidupkannya semula)?
[4]
Bukan sebagaimana yang disangka itu, bahkan Kami berkuasa menyusun (dengan sempurnanya segala tulang) jarinya, (tulang yang lebih halus dari yang lain).
[5]
(Kebenaran itu bukan tidak ada buktinya), bahkan manusia (yang ingkar) sentiasa suka hendak meneruskan perbuatan kufur dan maksiat (di sepanjang hayatnya, sehingga ia tidak mengakui adanya hari kiamat).
[6]
Dia bertanya (secara mengejek): “Bilakah datangnya hari kiamat itu?”
[7]
Maka (jawabnya: hari kiamat akan datang) apabila pemandangan menjadi terpendar-pendar (kerana gerun takut),
[8]
Dan bulan hilang cahayanya,
[9]
Dan matahari serta bulan dihimpunkan bersama,
[10]
(Maka) pada hari itu, berkatalah manusia (yang ingkarkan hari kiamat): “Ke manakah hendak melarikan diri?”
[11]
Tak usahlah bertanya demikian! Tidak ada lagi tempat perlindungan!
[12]
Pada hari itu, kepada Tuhanmu lah sahaja terserahnya ketetapan segala perkara.
[13]
Pada hari itu, manusia diberitahu akan apa yang ia telah lakukan, dan apa yang ia telah tinggalkan.
[14]
Bahkan manusia itu, (anggotanya) menjadi saksi terhadap dirinya sendiri,
[15]
Walaupun ia memberikan alasan-alasannya (untuk membela diri).
[16]
Janganlah engkau (wahai Muhammad) – Kerana hendakkan cepat menghafaz Quran yang diturunkan kepadamu – menggerakkan lidahmu membacanya (sebelum selesai dibacakan kepadamu).
[17]
Sesungguhnya Kamilah yang berkuasa mengumpulkan Al-Quran itu (dalam dadamu), dan menetapkan bacaannya (pada lidahmu);
[18]
Oleh itu, apabila Kami telah menyempurnakan bacaannya (kepadamu, dengan perantaraan Jibril), maka bacalah menurut bacaannya itu;
[19]
Kemudian, sesungguhnya kepada Kamilah terserah urusan menjelaskan kandungannya (yang memerlukan penjelasan).
[20]
Sedarlah wahai orang-orang yang lalai. (Sebenarnya kamu tidak ingatkan kesudahan kamu) bahkan kamu sentiasa mencintai (Kesenangan dan kemewahan dunia) yang cepat habisnya.
[21]
Dan kamu tidak menghiraukan (bekalan untuk) hari akhirat (yang kekal abadi kehidupannya).
[22]
Pada hari akhirat itu, muka (orang-orang yang beriman) berseri-seri;
[23]
Melihat kepada Tuhannya.
[24]
Dan pada hari itu, muka (orang-orang kafir) muram hodoh,
[25]
Sambil percaya dengan yakin bahawa mereka akan ditimpa malapetaka (azab seksa) yang membinasakan.
[26]
Sedarlah (janganlah mengutamakan dunia dan melupakan akhirat. Ingatlah akan hal orang yang hendak mati) apabila rohnya sampai ke pangkal kerongkong,
[27]
Dan (orang-orang yang hadir di sisinya heboh) berkata: “Siapakah yang dapat menawar jampi (dan mengubatnya)?”
[28]
Dan ia sendiri yakin, bahawa sesungguhnya saat itu saat perpisahan;
[29]
Serta kedahsyatan bertindih-tindih;
[30]
(Maka) kepada Tuhanmu lah – pada waktu itu – engkau dibawa (untuk menerima balasan).
[31]
(Oleh sebab orang yang kufur ingkar tidak percayakan hari akhirat) maka ia tidak mengakui kebenaran (yang diwajibkan meyakininya) dan ia tidak mengerjakan sembahyang (yang difardhukan mengerjakannya)!
[32]
Akan tetapi ia mendustakan, dan berpaling ingkar!
[33]
Kemudian ia pergi kepada keluarganya dengan berlagak sombong megah.
[34]
(Wahai orang yang kufur ingkar!) sudahlah dekat kepadamu kebinasaanmu, sudahlah dekat!
[35]
Kemudian api nerakalah lebih layak bagimu, lebih layak.
[36]
Patutkah manusia menyangka, bahawa ia akan ditinggalkan terbiar (dengan tidak diberikan tanggungjawab dan tidak dihidupkan menerima balasan)?
[37]
Bukankah ia berasal dari air mani yang dipancarkan (ke dalam rahim)?
[38]
Kemudian air mani itu menjadi sebuku darah beku, sesudah itu Tuhan menciptakannya, dan menyempurnakan kejadiannya (sebagai manusia)?
[39]
Lalu Tuhan menjadikan daripadanya dua jenis – lelaki dan perempuan.
[40]
Adakah (Tuhan yang menjadikan semuanya) itu – tidak berkuasa menghidupkan orang-orang yang mati? (Tentulah berkuasa)!

diidle-deedle-doodle

well, I may dont have time to do this hobby in the next 5 days, so ill try to do my best to draw as much as i can before Im getting busy again(bunyi macam satu kewajipan lak) in UiTM or MARA which doesnt come up with any news yet which pissed pretty much everyone( Im not excluded )



so, heres my drawing of .....stuffs. if you notice, I never color my drawings..thats simply because Im not good at it...T-T

machine

here's something to share. to make your machine or any kind of metal look like one, the simplest way is to draw an inverted 'C' line on its surface like what I do up here...well it doesnt have to be a perfect C, youll just do a line, then make a curve. it also helps make the drawing looks more..detail haha

creature

like I said before. its hard(for me) to draw human and any other existing creature..coz its god's creation and..and its hard to copy while non-existing creature is easy coz it doesnt exist so people cant compare. I dont have much tips bout drawing human coz im bad at it. well, all i can say is, look at yourself..and oh, read comics or manga..it helps





machine and creature alltogether

yeah I know, this one is a lil bit messy, its becoz I do it 4 am in the morning. im downloading songs so I drew this while im waitin...sigh when living things and machines drawn together, you must be careful not to make the living look dead, while the machine look alive.
unless both is in stationery. to make a moving things looks like its moving in drawing, simply add some random lines around them depending on its direction of movement...I got no example to show, but you get the picture..rite?

over and over...

yeah, my day cant be more boring... I've been doing the same thing everyday. so i got nothing to post in this blog. uhh, this feeling, is so wrong...emptiness, useless, boredom. this unpleasant feeling reminds me of a poem, life's brief candle:-


"To-morrow,and to-morrow,-and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out,out,brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow,a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
and then is heard of no more;it is a tale
Told by an idiot,full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing
hahaha we learn this in form 1...shakespeare has such a beautiful language..i mean, imagine playing scrabble with him!! haha the only reason im saying this crap coz i got nothing to do...
p/s: by the time you finish reading this you realize you have wasted the precious 1 minute of your life...T-T

that feeling when you defeat yourself



yourself?? no typo. what I mean is LUST. yup, my lust..haha I find it really hard to do something good right now(its far easier before) but when I succeed on overcoming it, god know how great the feeling is. like defeating your biggest nemesis(which really is). yeah!!! victory is mine!! defeat is mine too..haha I like the smell


humm, I feel bad because I failed to istiqamah in my ibadah as planned. on the other hand, it seems that its slightly affected by mood, which is wrong. sigh, I'm happier in my ibadah when i'm happy and lazier when i'm sad/depressed and its uncontrollable. which can't be an excuse either. god, why is it so hard to be good???

Sesungguhnya Allah beserta orang-orang yang bertaqwa, dan orang-orang yang berusaha memperbaiki amalannya. an-nahl ayat 128


this is Allah's promise to every person that strive to be better..

still got more to learn, yet no time to lose( ok I lied, im in paradise, soo bored and got lots of time) haha i cant wait to move my ass off this house. to UiTM-a place of learning. and I got some to-do list to be accomplished there. hehe


  1. change personality: funny/clumsy>cool/neat

  2. zero cursing

  3. dont be lackey and mundane

  4. study seriously

  5. play seriously

  6. be more brave, shout your thoughts( useful one for sure )

  7. zero talkin trash

  8. gain respect( yes, im lack of it in taiping T-T)

  9. ummm, ha! be thinner( 218 flight of stairs waitin, I see bright light )

definition of FAST

quite obvious, but some doesn't get the point. the term fast differ to each person and also depends on the time, place, weather..basically everything(not to miss, the kind of transport were riding)..


kalau minyak itu percuma, ak nak bawak krete tiap2 hari!!!


take for an example, when in sitiawan road to the mall and everything is fine, you are considered fast if you reach 90km/h. which is quite contrary if youre in a highway. that speed, is slow and the definition of fast is changed to 120km/h. and im writing this bcoz of my mom. haha she said that im fast as I reach 90km/h eventhough that the road is straight, wide, new, long, and empty(it can't be better).. but yet my mom wont stop yelling me to slow down. sigh, as a good son, I obey...n_n


spot the missing part!!! hehe



someday, imma take you out all alone baby, just the two of us, beneath the big blue sky....and the glimmering stars...someday buddy, but not today..T.T


well, driving auto car is easy, but yo'll miss all the fun part that manual car brings. the clutch, the pickup, the gear-changing,.......the clutch

sebenanye ak x berape gemar raikan hari ibu ni. sebabnye, ak rase meraikan hari ibu ni menjadikan ibu x istimewa. i mean, ak ingat mak aku tiap2 hari, macam x perlukan peristiwa baru nak ingat, baru nak kasi hadiah. aku walau bukan hari ibu pon ak kasi hadiah ape. tapi manusia normal ni, perlukan alasan untuk bagitaw yg die sayang mak die. hari ibu baru nak kasi hadiah. huhu..tapi, supaye mak ak x sedih, ak bwat r gak hadiah untuk mak aku...ak kuar beli mug kosong, marker, dan ribbon..total sume 7 ringgit. balik rumah...bwat hadiah, terus bagi mak ak. ak xtaw nak bagi mcm mane, so, ak datang dekat mak ak, bagi mug, peluk sambil ucap 'selamat hari ibu, topek sayang mak(intonasi: blur)' ak ingat mak ak akan trimas aku je. tetibe kuar air mate lak...darn it, ak xtaw nak react camne. so ak tunggu jela situ. pastu mak ak cakap pasal U lak tetibe, pasal kejayaan ak adalah hadiah paling berharge gitu..sekejap je pon. xsampai seminit kot...kite sambut hari ibu ni, kite taw ke ape sejarah hari ibu?? hehe ak nak kongsi sket ape yg ak jumpe(ni jugak salah satu sebab ak xnak sambut hari ibu):-



Only recently dubbed “Mother's Day,” the highly traditional practice of honoring of Motherhood is rooted in antiquity, and past rites typically had strong symbolic and spiritual overtones; societies tended to celebrate Goddesses and symbols rather than actual Mothers. In fact, the personal, human touch to Mother’s Day is a relatively new phenomenon. The maternal objects of adoration ranged from mythological female deities to the Christian Church itself. Only in the past few centuries did celebrations of Motherhood develop a decidedly human focus.

Goddess Isis - Early Egyptian Roots

One of the earliest historical records of a society celebrating a Mother deity can be found among the ancient Egyptians, who held an annual festival to honor the goddess Isis, who was commonly regarded as the Mother of the pharaohs. Her stern, yet handsome head is typically crowned by a pair of bull horns enclosing a fiery sun orb. She is most often depicted sitting on a throne.

So the story goes, after Isis’ brother-husband Osiris was slain and dismembered in 13 pieces by their jealous brother Seth, Isis re-assembled Osiris’ body and used it to impregnate herself. She then gave birth to Horus, whom she was forced to hide amongst the reeds lest he be slaughtered by Seth. Horus grew up and defeated Seth, and then became the first ruler of a unified Egypt. Thus Isis earned her stature as the Mother of the pharaohs.

It is interesting to note that the Mother and Son imagery of Isis and Horus—in which Isis cradles and suckles her son—is strikingly similar to that of the Virgin Mary and baby Jesus.



Cybele - Ancient Roman Celebration
The festival of Isis was also celebrated by the Romans who used the event to commemorate an important battle and mark the beginning of Winter. Despite being an imported deity, Isis held a place at the Roman temple, and her festival—which lasted for three days—was regaled by mostly-female dancers, musicians and singers.

Yet the Roman root of Mother’s Day is perhaps more precisely found in the celebration of the Phrygian goddess Cybele, or Magna Mater (Great Mother).

Cybele stems from the Greek Goddess Rhea, who was the Mother of most of the major deities including Zeus. Rhea was therefore celebrated as a mother goddess, and the festival took place around the time of the Vernal Equinox.

Greek Celebration of Rhea, the Mother of the Gods
In Rome and Asia Minor, Cybele was the major Mother deity most similar to Rhea, the Greek mother of the Gods. Other societies worshipped similar deities including Gaia the Earth Goddess and Meter oreie the Mountain Mother. In many aspects, this Mother goddess was represented and celebrated similarly across cultures.

The Anatolian mother goddess festivals, however, were said to be so wild that they were eventually discouraged or banned. But more conservative celebrations of Cybele and her equivalents included eating honey cakes and sharing flowers in the morning. This was practiced throughout Asia Minor—and eventually in Rome.

The Roman celebration of Magna Mater fell between March 15 and March 22, just around the same time as the Greek festival in honor of Rhea. Referred to as Hilaria, games were held in honor of the Mother of the gods. Also customary was a procession through the streets with a statue of the goddess carried at the head, followed by a display of elaborate arts and crafts


walaupun begitu, ak x larang perayaan hari ibu sebab ak xnampak perkare negatif langsung dalam perayaan ni. lainla kalau ade konsert ke, parti ke, mende2 maksiat. hehe..so bende ni unnecessary but, never mind...

ak memang suke doodling ni dari kecik lagi...humm If I recall correctly, minat ni tercetus di sekolah agame dulu. haha ye r, waktu rehat ak x makan sebab da makan kt rumah, so, ak slalu conteng meja( seawal darjah satu ). hahak siap terbitkan buku lukisan lagi, buku digimon, 4 jilid( darjah 3 dulu digimon famous, so ak reka digimon ak sendiri ). sume anggap ak ni cam maniac r gak...haha x kesah pon...so doodling ni dah jadi hardwired r. asal ak dpt sharpie, mesti nak conteng. tapi stakat ni ak doodle sume kat kertas je,( ok ak tipu, kat meja, dinding, whiteboard. lantai pon ade, dan tidak dilupe, tilam ) pastu ak terpikiaq nak wat kat baju( ade kat plan cuti ak kalau korang rujuk post sebelum ni ) kalakian, ak buat dua helai. and walaweh!!! stail gile, sampai xde sape sedar ak wat sendiri kalau ak x gitaw...pastu ade yg nak suruh ak wat satu untok die. die offer rm 30 tuh..perghh!!! bukan die sorang je, ramai gak galakkan ak jual. tapi ak tolak sebab baju ak ade banyak kelemahan lagi. tulisan x kekal sgt dan senang luntur...ToT. soo, ak nak mintak pendapat korang r, kalaw2 ak nak wat bisnes design baju ni:-

  1. ok, brape harge yg sesuai?? modal kasar, baju-rm15, cat-10 sebotol( satu botol bole cover 2 baju kot), berus+marker-rm 10-tahan sampai 5 baju mungkin?,hairdryer (x beli lagi, tapi kalau ak nak serius, ak akan beli)-rm20. ak rase harge pokok ak nak letak rm25. ke boleh lebih???
  2. camne nak advertise??
  3. sape berminat?? dan korang rase bole berkembang x bisnes ni?? bagi r cadangan sket..

oh, dan ak ade wat kat kasut gak. ak ade buat satu kat kasut all star aku. and maybe, just maybe, ak akan buat kat beg...so, uhh, ak serius nak wat bisnes ni sebab first die mmg leh wat untung. second bukan lame pon nak buat, idea tu sebelum tido bole pikir, nak siapkan satu baju adela dalam 2 jam. lastly, mende ni memang ak suke dari kecik. so, ak nak manfaatkan r tabiat ak ni ke jalan yang betul. ak mungkin akan mulekan kat uitm nanti insyaallah..



note to self: tgn jangan panjang sangat, muke detail sikit, garisan merepek. lukisan camni ak wat sekejap je, name pon doodle..haha.
ak mmg x reti lukis muke padahal tiap2 hari kite tgok muke. explanation die senang je, sebab muka ni common sangat, orang senang detect same ade muke tu btol ke x. kadang2 mulut kebawah sikit, mate besar sikit pon dah nampak x cantik. in the other hand, bende2 lain atau bende yg x wujud akan kelihatan sempurna kerana kurangnye pengetahuan kita mengenai anatominya, so kita anggap ape yg kite lihat itu sempurna dan betul sifatnya..


baju 2: nail bunny dari JTHM

baju 1: wobbly-headed bob dari JTHM juge..

natalie...

uh-oh!!! just now i found an old song that I already forgot-torn by natalie imbruglia. wooo, this used to be my favourite song...wee how excited( its in my playlist, find em ) i'm so beyond in love with song. it gave me some sort of orgasm to my ear( now dirty-minded, I said my ear ok?? please)( and some says eargasm ). my heart feels really 'berbunga-bunga' when I listen to it. which is weird because if you look at this song's lyrics, it clearly shows that this song carries a very depressing meaning




natalie imbruglia ...enchanted nyer character haha


I thought I saw a man brought to life
He was warm
He came around like he was dignified
He showed me what it was to cry
Well you couldn't be that man that I adored
You don't seem to know or seem to care what your heart is for
I don't know him anymore

There's nothing where he used to lie
Our conversation has run dry
That's what's going on
Nothing's fine
I'm torn

I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
You're a little late
I'm already torn

So I guess the fortune teller's right
I should have seen just what was there and not some holy light
But you crawled beneath my veins and now

I don't care
I have no luck
I don't miss it all that much
There's just so many things that I can't touch
I'm torn

I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
You're a little late
I'm already torn
Torn

There's nothing where he used to lie
My inspiration has run dry
That's what's going on
Nothing's right
I'm torn

I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn

I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I'm ashamed bound and broken on the floor
You're a little late
I'm already torn
Torn



see? but the rythm change this song's message into hope, and redha...hahaaha. yup, we should accept our destiny and live our life happily...be optimist my fellow friend..this song helps me soothe my soul and i'm sharing it here just in case it works the same way to you...thumb's up for this special evergreen song!!!!!!

events tagged hard-wiredly in songs

certain songs contain a series of event that is embended in it. seriously, you must have that kind of song in your life which will stimulate your memories to flash once you hear it...i do..and ill share some of it for ya..


song: teddy picker
by: arctic monkeys


Despair up to the point that they provoke
The punchline before they have told the joke
The sheer desperation to be seen
Staring at the television screen

Despair up to the point that they provoke
You to tell the fucking punchline before you have told the joke
I'm sorry sunshine it doesn't exist
It wasn't in the top 100 list

And it's the thousandth time and it's even bolder,
Don't be surprised when you get bent over,
He told ya, but you were dying for it

She saw it and she grabbed it and it wasn't what it seemed
The kids all dream of making it, whatever that means
Another variation on a theme
A tangle on the television and the magazine
D'you reckon that they do it for a joke?
D'you reckon that they make 'em take an oath?
That says "we are defenders
Of any poseur or professional pretender around"

When did your list replace the twist and turn?
Like a fist, replaced the kissed-on concern
And if you're bothered, I don't want your prayer
Save it for the morning after

And it's the thousandth time and it's even bolder,
Don't be surprised when you get bent over,
He told ya, but you were gagging for it

Lets have a game on the Teddy Picker
Not quick enough can I have it quicker?
Already thick and you're getting thicker

Lets have a game on the Teddy Picker
Not quick enough can I have it quicker?
Already thick and you're getting thicker

Asuming that all things are equal,
Who'd want to be men of the people
When there's people like you?





story behind it: this is the first arctic monkeys song i heard, thanks yasser khalik shah bin abdul rasyid. believe it or not, this song is the beginning of the bond of me and him and also muneer( that's as far as i can remember ) coz of this song, I love arctic monkeys and i hangout with yasser and muneer to hear their songs. haha but the real headstart song for me and muneer is royal jelly by butterfingers. from that point, my taste towards music blooms. hahaha untill now i cant exactly believe such simple thingy can change me, a lot...



song: jasa bonda

by: warisan


Di saat kau lena dia berjaga
Kau bersenang dia bekerja
Untuk mu tiada terbatas
Memberi tidak minta dibalas
Ingin dibinanya untuk mu
Kehidupan yang sempurna
Punya kekuatan jiwa
Punyai maruah

Leterannya dari rasa luhur
Menegur sebelum terlanjur
Itulah yang diwarisi
Pesan ibu terpahat di hati
Beringat-ingatlah berpesan pesan
Untuk kebaikan
Marah bukan kebencian
Tapi tanda sayang

Engkau semakin dewasa
Berjiwa merdeka
Sedang dia semakin tua
Membilang usia
Di saat kau berjaya
Dia tiada berdaya
Semoga kau tak lupa
Jasa bonda


story behinds it: hahaha, this is a song that is awkwardly famous in my college. famously called jabon. introduced early during the orientation by our kaunselor, hearing this song makes me remember entirely about the school( how absurd ). and it got me flash back when during the orientation, when this song is played, I pretend to cry( its soo easy, you just have to yawn( which is double easy...) ). then cikgu zul call me and say something about soft-hearted blah blah...haha how embarassing( and guilty) considering that I'm just kidding though...huhu
song: seize the day
by: avenged sevenfold


Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over

I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry
These streets we travel on will undergo our same lost past

I found you here, now please just stay for a while
I can move on with you around
I hand you my mortal life, but will it be forever?
I'd do anything for a smile, holding you 'til our time is done
We both know the day will come, but I don't want to leave you

I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry
A melody, a memory, or just one picture

Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over

Newborn life replacing all of us, changing this fable we live in
No longer needed here so where do we go?
Will you take a journey tonight, follow me past the walls of death?
But girl, what if there is no eternal life?

I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
But I'm too young to worry
A melody, a memory, or just one picture

Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
Its empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over
Trials in life, questions of us existing here, don't wanna die alone without you here
Please tell me what we have is real

So, what if I never hold you, or kiss your lips again?
So I never want to leave you and the memories of us to see
I beg don't leave me

Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
Its empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over
Trials in life, questions of us existing here, don't wanna die alone without you here
Please tell me what we have is real

Silence you lost me, no chance for one more day
Silence you lost me, no chance for one more day
I stand here alone
Falling away from you, no chance to get back home
I stand here alone
Falling away from you, no chance to get back home

story behinds it: this old song reminds me about my preteen life in mjsc pasir salak. haha this song used to be so famous that if someone memorize this song, he/she too, will be famous...haha. it also rings one of my friend, raja khairul azri bin raja khaliff...my cubemate. gosh, he's so addicted to this song, he borrow mp3 from a person to another to hear it( including me lah)


song: deeper conversation
by: yuna


Is your favourite colour blue?
Do you always tell the truth?
Do you believe in outerspace?
And I'm learning you

Is your skin as tanned as mine?
Does your hair flow sideways?
Did someone took a portion of your heart?
And I'm learning you

And if you don't mind
Can you tell me
All your hopes and fears
And Everything that you believe in
Would you make a difference in the world
I'd love for you to take me to a deeper conversation
Only you can make me

I let my guard down for you
And in time you will too

If you don't mind
Can you tell me
All your hopes and fears
And Everything that you believe in
Would you make a difference in the world
I'd love for you to take me to a deeper conversation
Only you can make me

If you don't mind
Can you tell me
All your hopes and fears
And Everything that you believe in
Would you make a difference in the world
I'd love for you to take me to a deeper conversation
Only you can make me

4x
Deeper Conversation
Let me
