Poppies

Gosh! etsy.com is the most amazing site ever created. :D It's trully my favorite spot in the web. :D

There are millions of paintings that are wonderful and unique. Each paintings have their very own style and moods that is screaming out to reach us.

It is best to learn painting from them.:D
I remember from my art class that the best way to learn is to learn from others. You will learn to discover their composition, their techniques as you paint as according to theirs... your mind started to work as them when painting. :D

My theme for last week painting is poppies. I grab hold of two paintings that caught my eye and started to follow their style of painting.

This week theme will be c-l-o-u-d-s.

Sunday Arvo Sketch

I am listening to Faye Wong. She is always and will remain my best favorite female singer. :D

The CD was right in front of me. :D My hands grabbed the pencil and started.

Just Simply sketching away at my desk while watching anime :D Woot Woot!!

Sukiyaki - Ue wo muite arukou - Kyu Sakamoto

This song came into my mind... :D It really trully is a great song.

My reason of resuming back my blog

Haha..

I got an iMac.

A valid reason for me to blog. :D Gosh.. It's absolutely amazing with the functions and the screen of apple that one could find. It's user friendly and beautifully crafted!! It is to die for!

I need to fully utilize it! So here I am back again.. to the blogging world.

Salute to Apple!!

Sketchingg.... Sketch

It's one of those evening...


Did I mention I do not like the twilight time.. neither dark nor bright. It just draws me down. So I decided to draw. At least it will divert my mind to something.

Another sketch..



ps. I use some camera effects when taking the photo :D

Melb and Menz

I have been working in Menz for nearly a year. It's time to leave.

I had a great time there... actually. Weighing out, the pros are so much more then the cons of working there. It's been great with the colleagues. I had the opportunity to organize exhibits internationally in Hanoi, HoChiMinh, Shanghai and ChungChing alone. It was in total a wonderful experience that I had. My work in meeting agents, organizing the marketin stuff for the company was alright.

I think the best thing that happen there is knowing a bunch of great people there.

Vid was the best. He offered me his place for my lodging. He was great in every way a friend can be. Yun's frequent tea break walks to get sausage rolls. Seeing Sun at the javascript:void(0)tram station and getting home together after work. Occasional tease and gossips.I love grabbing a hot cuppa coffee before heading to work.. taking the tram...walks.. jogs at Albert Park... (I can go on forever).

All the small things adds up in the end. I always feel that it's the small things that makes the difference in life.

:D Melbourne is always a great city to be in :D My time in Melbourne will be greatly treasured.

Net-Browse

Been spending time facebooking and browsing on blogs to blogs today.

Have not indulge myself with this kind of leisure net browsing lately. I kinda enjoyed it. Every now and then, a lil dosage to catch up on gossips won't kill.

Especially on J-U-I-C-Y one's.

Haha.. :D

Post 2009

Perhaps I should start with my 2009 snap memories/ highlights.

• Unemployed till June. Depressed.
• Picked up rock climbing. Am lovin it.
• Employed in June. Finally.
• Moved to Melbourne, staying at Vid’s place.
• Snow Boarding, not to my liking. Sadly.
• Business trip to Vietnam in November. A short and lonely trip.

I don’t think 2009 is a year that I would remember deeply. Nothing unpleasant to begin with… but then again, there is nothing overly-pleasant to brag about.
Tat’s all.

In Desperation for Updates

This is getting bad. I have long since doing any updates on this blog.
On the whole, there are no significant changes in my life or noteworthy encounters in recent months to be posted.

Am I being obnoxious?

Truth is, I do not know what I should post about.

Suggestions?? Please.

Rain on a Tuesday

Rain! Waking up on a rainy day is wonderful only in weekends. Definitely not on a working day, especially on a Tuesday. The blues from Monday will be dragged along throughout the day making the weekdays longer and dearer.

Truth is that this week will be the last week at work before my trip back to Malaysia. Days in the office seems extremely long with every second pass like hours.


Just a thought: I started to wonder what I truly want in my life.

There and Back Again

Back here on Jasmine's comment.
:D

Hmm.. I guess an update should be necessary, eh?

Where am I?
Melbourne

What am I doing?
typing this blog in the office

My feeling right now?
Crappy

My current food crave?
Zha jiang mian

My current favorite past-time?
Day-dreaming... wait. That's my all time favorite.
My current favorite past-time would be staying in bed & just black out.

My favorite digs?
Korean Dramas

My latest interest?
Nothing in particular.. just want to phase out and go blank

Wait... I think it's Monday Blues. Argghh.. I hate Monday

Wicked - Alone

I went to see ‘Wicked”. Alone.
It was really fantastic. I had my doubts at first as the book ain’t really my cuppa. I search the reviews online and checked with Deb. Got a green sign and decided to watch the play in Melbourne.
No regrets. I totally enjoyed it.

Guess wat? I am all grown up. I have started to eat at a café on my own (just on Sunday morning for brunch… woosh one step at a time!!) and heading to musicals on my own. Yey!!! Give myself a pat at the back. Wen is all grown up and it’s about time!!!

You know how some things can just lit up your day.

I had one today.

I was, as usual, on my way to work. Taking the tram. Listening to Grace Kelly by Mika. I got a sit on the tram today. I head out earlier to work now. Firstly, I do not wanna rush. Secondly, I hate to cram myself with others in the tram. I got out my book to read, titled “The elegance of the Hedgehog”. What I really wanted to mention and felt worth taking note is that while I was reading on the exact word the same exact word from the song came out.

The word is “doesn’t solve anything”.

Cmon! What’s the odd!
It did put a smile on my face at 7.45am.

:D

Back and off again

Gosh! I have not been updating this blog for ages. My last blog was in April and we are in the late July now.
Well, many happenings. Ups and downs. Far and near.
I finally got a job. Phew! After months of anxiety and desperation, I got a job. In Melbourne. I do not want to go into details about the job. Job, is after all just a job. Full stop. End. Nothing more to tell.
Life now is all fuzzy and uncertain. Heck, all my life is. I lead a fuzzy and uncertain life. It does not make any difference now. All that is certain is that I have wonderful family, loving bf and amazing friends. Well, that’s all that matters anyway.

Wizard & Wicked

What a coincidence.

I downloaded some songs randomly from the internet and put iTunes on shuffle mode and started to read while enjoying the music.

I was reading Wicked by . After reading a few pages, this song came up.

"We're Off to See the Wizard" Harold Arlen

This song was sung in the movie "The Wizard of Oz". It's a classic. Such a coincidence as the book I am reading is base also on Wizard of Oz. Correction. More on the witch of the west.

Ha... cherrio

Dreaming Books

A amazing, wondrous and magnificient read.

I got stuck with the read. Refuse to close my eyes ang give in to slumber. I want to keep on reading. It draws and captivates me.

Thank you, Walter Moers. The book is absolute ecstasy.

The City of Dreaming Books

Crazy Craze

C-U-T-E

Reads

Glad.

I started reading again.

I've been slacking on my read. Thanks to the bundles of journals I read last semester, have had enough of it, I stopped or slow-down my reading for ages.

Thanks to Bram Stroker. I induce myself back to the fantasy and imaginary world. I love every bits of Dracula.

It's 2 am. The mocha did the trick. I am still wide awake. Just finished Louis de Bernières's "The Partisan's Daughter". It captured me. Though it's rather confusing with the two narrators in the book. I can't seem to judge if the story is from Roza or from the old man's memory in certain parts of the book. But in total, it was worth the read.

Next book: The City of Dreaming Books by Walter Moers

Can't wait.

Counting the days... till..

Till I am employed.

Been searching for jobs without any luck.

Days like this is quite tiring and de-motivated.

B-O-r-E-D
