UiTM ACCA Dinner 2006

Wuhuuu!!! It was the RETRO darling!!! It has been such a long time since I last went out like a DRAG QUEEN, haha ;D UiTM external students were having a ball *ACCA Dinner* with the theme "Malam Retro" at Saloma Bistro. So, I picked my long dress with psychedelic patterns of cream and chocolate combination to go with my white 60's shades *my friends said: "owh look! it's the Curt Cobain shades!"* ;p I lurveeee tht shades to death~

The dinner was OK, the hall was filled with fashionistas!~ I must say that the students were terribly brilliant in putting their efforts to look good! Some came wrapped in waist-cinching corsets, long fluffy boa, mile-high heels, tons and tons of makeup, high hair chignons and up-dos, wow..they sure looked GOOD ;) It was a shame tht I was attacked with migraine and can't put up a smile after too many photo shoots... To my lurvely sister Linda, thanx for inviting me to tag along, I'm sorry if I bore you with my whining: "Lin, kakzu nak balek, saket paler..." Sorry, sorry, sorry... ;( I DO enjoy the dinner, thanx, and I lurve you Kakcik :*

Persetankan - Theme: LAGU

New PERSETANKAN theme come again, and now it's LAGU, which means SONG!~ Photo submission must include words from a lyric that represents YOU *in this case it's ME* :D This photo was taken by me with Erik's E-500, while Premelodic was having a jamming session at a studio near Pandan area a few nights before. The lyric is from a song called "Hari Ini, Esok & Semalam", which is actually the title for Premelodic's first EP :) Seeing them so engrossed with what they do at that time, I sneaked behind some of the equipment there to snap some shots... Huhu, I lurve it candid u know ;)

Persetankan - CINTA (2nd Pic Submission)

As much as I HATE Valentine's Day, and the current PERSETANKAN's theme is giving me the jitters, here I am, submitting my second pic! Haha ;p Actually, the idea for the above photo came from a recent dream... But in that dream, I was holding a DAISY. Yes, DAISY. Tee hee :"> This photo was snapped by Kiah after a few careful instructions from me, 'coz I'm afraid that instead of symbolizing emo-ish feel, it might look tacky & vulgar...huhu. But guess what? Somebody did asked me: "Why did u spread ur legs like that?" DAMN!! I didn't spread my legs okay? Huhu...:">

Persetankan - CINTA aka LOVE

February...ahh...Valentine's Day... the day that I DETEST most!! Not because of this religion thingy, but honestly I'm most ALONE during Valentine's :( Seeing couples holding hands, hugging each other, buying chocolates and soft toys and perfumes and flowers.... *sigh* I LONG for that... boy, am i PATHETIC!! ;p

Btw, for this submission to PERSETANKAN, I've chosen the pic above, which I snapped using Erik's Olympus E-500 at BB. Last night, both of us prowled BB like we owned it, haha... It's been such a long time since I last held an SLR *whether digital or manual*, and to feel again the excitement of snapping shots behind this man-made love machine is ....simply amazing!! Thanx Erik ;)

Persetankan - Theme: HIJAU (green)

This is my contribution for PERSETANKAN (theme: HIJAU) in January '06. How time flies!! Whew... this pic was snapped by me on 20 Nov 2005 at Kota Malawati, Selangor... seems like yesterday *sigh*

I'm Fearless

I'm fearless. If I like a person, straightaway without any doubt, I spit it out. Just like that! If he feels the same, alhamdulillah... If not, I'll back away with style & grace. Never have I felt neither EMBARRASSED, nor DEFEATED. For me, to love is individual's right...

Never have I expected that in my 32 years, I can't simply retreat from a person who has clearly said "NO" to my face. The weirdest thing is, I love him MORE AND MORE! And for the first time in my life, I just simply can't help myself... :(

The Missing Piece of the Puzzle

Sometimes, contemplating scares me... When my mind starts wandering from a box of subject to another, I started to feel on edge, nervous, sad, even a little mad... Anxiety might kill me one day! When this starts, hurriedly I look up to the sky. Ahh...the sky! Beautiful and mesmerizing with its fluffy white clouds... I'll be a lil' bit calm afterward. In the morning, if the sky is dark and gloomy and it started to rain, I'll be standing near the window sill, hypnotized by the downpour. To wonder that each drop came from a place so far away and finally ends its journey underneath our feet! Such fate! *smiles* When the night comes, I'll be stargazing! Twinkle-one, twinkle-two, twinkle-three... gosh, I'm hooked on stargazing!! It successfully erases all my troubled thoughts... If I can't see the stars, I'll be staring at trees and imagining myself painting a beautiful watercolor picture... a passion I've thrown out the window long time ago *I can't paint, 'nuff said* :( It's either painting or photographing... I wish I have a Nikon D50 :( *that's before I'll upgrading myself to D200, of course!!* Ambition should be HUGE, babe!! *sigh* Other silly thing I do if I'm in dilemma *snickers* is BATHING/SHOWERING. Yes, right, it's a routine where you go into your shower and spend hours and hours in there! *laughing* Being an Aquarian makes me obsessed with water I guess :) Washing away my unhappy thoughts is usually, blissfully LONG. From applying this and that, to scrubbing, to conditioning, to lotion-ing... at that moment, every task is my life and death... as long as it will keep me calm and tranquil.

I'm so terrified of my insomnia... My treacherous mind will be flying to places I don't want to go and my goddamned eyes just can't shut tight! Images flashing like I'm watching the movies. From a scene to another, I surf faster than the broadband!! Very tiring... :( The main theme for all these images is not new to me - it's LOVE. CINTA MATI, CINTA GILA, it's all LOVE! If it's not love, then it will be future dreams or abandoned and unanswered hopes. I try my best not to get stuck into that territory, but my mind is faster than my decisions. And when I came to that familiar junction, all I can do is put on a 'lil smile and cried like I can't cry tomorrow. I HATE to cry... gosh it's so painful!!! I think I'm in a chronic state. Depression? Dear God please NOT. I'm trying to find the missing piece of the puzzle in me. The missing space is labeled "EMPTINESS" and I've tried to fill it with fun-filled weekends, traveling, shopping for things I don't use as much... but still, it's still EMPTY. I just better leave it like that I guess, or wait and see. Or maybe like my best buddy once said: "Wait and Bleed". Pity, I've lost too much blood already and I don't think I'm that strong to wait anymore… Feels like ending the wait with this next period. But...

NO.
