Sydney

Sydney is definitely a great place. I just realised it after nearly 3 years leaving as a Sydneysider. Ok, it should be half a year, minusing my stay in Dewan Malaysia.

Staying outside has broaden my views. I have more freedom and full control of myself. Since I am now becoming more challenging with myself, staying there will just make me living in my extremely comfort zone. I need to go beyond it to experience life and to learn the art of its essence. As far as now, I could say that I have no regret with my choice.

I am currently had fallen in love with the Sydney beaches. Summer and beach are very synonym. That makes Sydney at its best for the moment. To my surprise, I just realized about the excitement of being blow by the Sydney breeze while walking by the beach which is definitely the experience that none of us want to miss while having the chance to be here. Try it and you gonna love it just like I do.


Tomorrow one of my hsemates is going back to his hometown.
And that makes me missing home so much. I wanna go home. How I wish I can be the one who controls the time...

Passion

Dari mata jatuh ke hati

In order to love something, you need to know it first

No pain, no gain!

My passion towards architecture is starting to build up. No more the 'architorture' but 'love architecture'. Alhamdulillah. Yup, past experience had taught me a lot! I'm still on my way of learning it. Far far far away from the finishing line. But the spirit is there. That is what I want it to be.

Thanks to my parents esp my mak, for non-stop comforting advice. She knows how to keep me cool all the time. It is weird, you dont have to tell her for her to know. Eventhough you are miles away, she still knows what lies behind your relief looks. She knows there is something wrong from the trace of your voice. Eventhough you are basically living together for only 12 years. Amazing!

and a special message for someone, thanks for believing in me. And for keeping the words safely. I'll do the same too ;)


p/s: can someone pls tell me the overall story of the Big Bang? Or maybe the overall idea, compact enough to make me understand how does the process works. Thanks ;)

The Origin of Life

I'm now working on an essay on this topic. Frankly speaking, I've lost my magic touch on writing an essay. Back in SPM era, a 4 pages essay can be done just 2 hours before the submission but now, it is already 2 days!

Any progress? ilek!
haha

It is kinda hard to put everything in words. And that is why I'm here.

Owh anyway, I went to Bondi this morning for my site visit. Need to revisit the place to do some research on the language of the facades of that place. And then, trying to get back into my pervious obsession - photography. Here are some shots that I like! yeah :)

FULL

i'm full
full of workloads!
extremely FULL
FULL!

Melompat Lebih Tinggi

Siapa aku tanpa kawan?
Terkapai-kapai dalam lambungan
Terus sendiri keseorangan
Terkulai layu menjadi bahanan
Patah hati tiada harapan

Siapa aku tanpa kawan?
Wajah kacak namun sengal
Tetap pendirian tetapi janggal
Hidup mewah bahagia tertinggal
Ada kaki kehilangan tangan

Siapa aku tanpa kawan?
Beban dipikul bertan-tan
Susah senang pasti sendirian
Sakitnya hati sakitnya badan
Gembira hati tidak berpanjangan

Siapa aku tanpa kawan?
Sukar ditafsir
Kera sumbang?
Katak terbang?
Arnab sombong?

Siapa aku tanpa kawan?
Terbang tinggi tiada arah
Melayang-layang tanpa tujuan
Sekadar lembaga bernyawa
Tanpa jiwa

Terima kasih kawan-kawan...

Beauty lies in the eyes of beholder

Ada mata?
Gunakannya
Ada mata?
Lihatlah dunia
Ada mata?
Nikamatilah ia
Ada mata?
Hargai sebaiknya
Matahari
Mata hati
Mata ini

Terus berjalan

Journey to the North Pole

Hehe.. tajuk mmg tanak kalah! Anyway, nih la yg kitorang buat mase mlm Krismas tuh. We went to this housing area where they decorated their houses with millions of bulbs mostly yellow! Santa, Mrs Santa and Snowman pon ade! (feeling kn org Aussie? Motif Xmas in Summer ade snow man?) Owh sungguh indah waktu itu!

Inilah antara2 manusia yg menjayakan perjalanan kitorang malam tuh. 5 keter kalo tak silap. Ala2 rombongan Mawi ke Gold Coast gitttew.

Diorang nih mmg dok pose je kejernye. Naseb baek la aku nih photographer yg tak berkire and since photography is one of my interests, as long as I get a good catch, NO PROBLEM punya!!! Posing la seberape lame korang suke.

Ini lah Mr Santa & Mrs Santa. Sempat jugak la kitorang dok mintak Xmas presents kt diorang nih. Tp yg peliknye, diorang buat dekkk jer. Aiyo! Dah la dok diam2 mcm patung! Tak gune btol!!!

Nih plak perkarangan rumah Santa tuh. Yang tgh maen tuh anak diorang. Tuh yg bersepah dgn mainan tuh. Teddy Bears la. Anak Santa nih asyik maen je keje die. Ye la, mak dgn ayah die dok diam buat donno je, mane taknye anak naik tocang? Kan org tue2 selalu berpesan,

"sayang anak tangan2 kan..."

Nih plak another view of the house from different angle. Tuh la rusa2 yang Santa tuh gune ntok hantar hadiah2. Penat. Tuh yang dok berehat. Almaklumla, org laen enjoy2 mase Xmas Eve, diorang dok sebok2 terbang sane, terbang sini. Khidmat masyarakat la katekan. Korang pon nnt jadik la rajin mcm diorang nih. Selalu2 jugak tolong orang yek. Takyah harapkan balasan drpd org. InsyaAllah, Allah ade care ntok membalasnye.

Tgk nih! Cntik kan?? Diorang nih mmg put lots of efforts just to make their Christmas more memorable, full with joys and excitement! Oh lg satu, sebagaimana yg aku paham, actually ade competition for the best decoration sebenarnye.

"Kalau ade hadiah, sume semangat nk buat keje"

Kan?

This is another shot from different angle. Mmg best aa buat photoshooting kt area nih. Meriah!!! Dengan lampu lip lap nye, dgn bebudak nih yg berdress up bagai mase nk dtg. Mmg meriah!!!

Sempat jugak la kitorang jumpe dgn Mr Snowman mase kt sane. So, dh alang2 tuh, amek gmbar la kan. Buat kenang2an. Susah ok nk jumpe. Owh btw, nih la yg aku mksudkn ttg Snowman kt 1st paraggraph tuh. Feeling kan? Kalo korang still tak paham, nih ade something ntok trigger alarm korang:

Motif Snowman kat atas rumput hijau tapi bukan snow?
Motif Snowman nmpk panas tp tak cair?
Motif Snowman ade kt Australia mase Summer?

Decorations nih plak kt dalam rumah. Naseb baek cermin crystal clear, bole la nmpk dari luar. Mmg tip top!

Aku pon sempat la jugak stop kejap kt Santa's Workshop nih. Since aku pon dh dress up ala2 elf (buka mata ntok melihat snow cap saya), aku sorang je la yg diorang allow ntok tgk2 camne care2 pemprosessan hadiah kt dalam workshop nih. Kat sini diorang menggunkan teknik pengkhususan. Korang sure ingat lagi kan K. Hidup Tingkatan 3? Mcm tuh la. Baru senang nk siapkan keje. Semuanye mmg dh specialise dlm bidang masing2.

Santa pon kasik aku makan candy nih. Besar tuh. Die kate as a token of appreciation sbb sudi dtg melawat and citer pasal die kt blog aku nih. Oh lupe nk bg tau, aku dh citer kt Santa tuh pasal blog nih and aku ckp yg aku akan buat satu special post ntok trip aku kt sini. Die suke sgt! Mmg bole nmpk la terpancar dari wajah die.

Oo nih plak Mr Snowman yg lg satu. Mase nih die yg mintak nk amek gmbar dgn aku. Pastuh die suro pose konon2 nk makan die. Die plak nk pose innocent! Konon2 mcm aku nih pemangse la. Haihhh... Mcm2 hal si Snowman tuh.

Ok la. Sekian sahaja cerita dongeng aku tuh yerk. Terpulanglah korang nk pecaye ke tak. Siapelah aku nk memakse, tak gittew?

We're different!

Really sorry for abandoning this place for the past few days. Been busy with many stuffs. Balik tros tido jer! Ok, I did checking the mails, facebook, news but to stay here and thinking about what to share, it was totally not the right time. And today, I tried my best to make sure that I can update you guys with at least an event. So here comes our so called Christmas Eve.

At first we planned to do some midnight shopping, I mean window shopping. But it turned out that all the shops were closed and we didnt aware of that before going to the mall. Lucky we bought the weekly travel pass, Circular Quay automatically became our next stop! Here are some 'memory captured' as the food for the eyes. Enjoy~

Transformation and Evolution! For the future sake of course!

Us. Those were brighten up the night and made it just like there were no one else there

Jingle bell jingle bell...

We wish you a merry xmas...

Young and Dangerous

The BOND is there! We dont need James BOND!!!

We are special in many ways!

Oh ya, all of these photos were edited using Photoshop. Amazing rite? I've told ya that Photoshop is still the best... but noot really user friendly. hehe.

Thats all for now. Tatatta

Little Baby Santa

~"Old McDonald has a farm... E. I. E. I. O"~

~"And in his farm he has some ducks... E. I. E. I. O"~

Aaarrggghhh... This is hard but I cannot give up. I've to prove to mummy that I can do anything that all the adults can do. Even better than them! Huh!

Alamak! Mummy mummy! My container fell down! All my hardworks just go away like that! Huaaaaa... Eh wait! I cannot cry. That's the girls thing, not mine! I'm a stronger person just like Red Power Ranger.

Lets continue working.

Nota kaki: Nak kawen dgn org puteh la. Nanti dapat anak chomel2. Best2!

Friendship

Like what I said before, photo editing is soo tempting! You tend to do it again and again. It is worst when you are already free from uni works and got nothing else to do. Social? Naahhh! Sitting in front of my laptop next to my bed sounds much more yummy to me.

Anyway, just wanna show what Picasa and Photoshop could do when they join ventured together. Here is the result:

 Picasa.Straighten.Effects

Look at the colors. It looks pale and lack of contras. 

I tried to put words on it but could not play much with the sizes. 

Decided to leave it for Photoshop to handle.

Photo Adjustments.Text

Change the contras and exposures. Play with tone. Really satisfied with the result as the colors' of the photo turned out to be more strong and showing up some energy. 

The bond between us is clearly potrayed! 

Played with the sizes of the words. 

Mission complete.

After all, Photoshop is still the best! That's the conclusion I could make at the moment. Gonna to look for Adobe Light Room just like what Megat has suggested to me. Mintak2 la bole download free :P
