Fire & Ize | Acrylic on Canvas | 2010 | 12 x 16 | Putrajaya

Babah has been bringing me pusing-pusing around town to wherever an art scene I know exists... we've been to CM, Petronas Gallery, Balai Seni Lukis Negara... and I've also been doing my Photography Project. Well not really project la, just nak brush up sikit my rusted skills... Camera Lumix GF1 tu Babah yang belikan... dia jaga macam menatang minyak yang overloaded, hehe~

Babah has been very patient. Tapi Sampai bila? Hope he doesn't give up.... :`o(

The Day He Pulled the Trigger

Vincent, Trust me, I understand...

Haf always been in love with his art... and his feelings, I feel d same way...

   

 Starry, starry night. 

Paint your palette blue and grey, 

Look out on a summer's day, 

With eyes that know the darkness in my soul. 

Shadows on the hills, 

Sketch the trees and the daffodils, 

Catch the breeze and the winter chills, 

In colors on the snowy linen land. 

 Now I understand what you tried to say to me, 

How you suffered for your sanity, 

How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they did not know how.
Perhaps they'll listen now.

 Starry, starry night.
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze,
Swirling clouds in violet haze,
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue.
Colors changing hue, morning field of amber grain,
Weathered faces lined in pain,
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand.

 Now I understand what you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity, How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they did not know how.
Perhaps they'll listen now.

 For they could not love you,
But still your love was true.
And when no hope was left in sight
On that starry, starry night,
You took your life, as lovers often do.
But I could have told you,
Vincent, This world was never meant for one As beautiful as you.

 Starry, starry night. Portraits hung in empty halls,
Frameless head on nameless walls,
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget.
Like the strangers that you've met,
The ragged men in the ragged clothes,
The silver thorn of bloody rose,
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.

 Now I think I know what you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity, How you tried to set them free.
 They would not listen, they're not listening still.
Perhaps they never will...

3 years of Struggle Summation... 3rd February 2007

*sigh* I dunno what to write, for the 1st time. Graduation day yesterday, so happy, at one point it did get emotional, recalling how hard it has been for me to go through this... Sleepless nights, painful hands, headaches, money money money.... How i failed years ago and bucked up again... and finally the certification is mine. I promise myself it won't stop here. I'm gonna be a Professor one day. I know I will!

The Grande Finale!

A Day for the Illusionists of the Future...!

Wha! Penatnya sampai sekarang terasa, sampai takleh tido lena. as usual, if i'm too tired, my insomnia gets worst!!
But u know... today's tiredness is very much worth it. I hafta say, segan jugak being part of Pixellusion when i contributed very little due to my homebound. I was only involved with this exhibition [see invitation card below] in the premilinary stage, when i was still very energetic and hasn't got in n outta d hospitals. after dat everyone else took over. I'd like to mention everyone involved:: RHB [Raymond, Husni, Brandon], Yana, Faren, Raimy, Oja, Sally, Zoe, Allen, Adam, William Tan n Wong, Azil, Naim, Chamantika, Kevin, Jenny n Oh [please tell me if i missed any]. and to forget our ever supportive ex-lecturers, Ms Linda, Mr Wong and Eugene. Of course it wasn't SUCH a PERFECT event, but it was GOOD. all went well, and the food, OWH THE FOOD is good. Aunty Fizah [mama Oja] I sooo lurvvveee your bread pudding, sampai hubby suruh belaja macamana aunty buat hehe.
Though many present were our families and friends, to me it was enough. I know most of us was counting on MORE industry people [and of course shockingly Tan Sri n Gale were present] but uh... for boasting my work to Mom, Dad n Hubby was even a major success hehe. Especially mom, who RARELY PROPERLY see about what i do in LUCT. All she knows i get good results. now she's SEEN my work, and again and again she was asking, 'You really did drew all those characters yourself?' Maybe she forgot she once sent me to an art class. :op~!!!
Owh did i mention I was one of the launchers of the Exhibition? There were four of us cutting the ribbon, Me, Chamantika, Husni and Brandon, representing all four streams of Majors in ADOM. Nicely tied ribbons, Raymond, hehe.
Besides me, Jazz was having a very good day. She, the STAR in Brandon's Major Project was a proud girl. Going around the KLC like she's been there a thousand times and known my friends in a zillion years. Once Ateem n Mein arrives, she got even more uncontrollable. she almost joined us during the ribbon cutting, if it's not for her Abah holding her tight. Hubby, I'd like to thank you for being very supportive. u even got me a contact from the industry. Dunno how will dat go about, hehe funny guy, ppl wanna talk about werk he talked bout babysitter's payment hehe.
Actually I am very happy because... i've been too long homebound. seeing my friends once again is such an enlightenment, especially when some of em are flying to Oz in February for RMIT.
Mom asked me to reconsider going abroad once Khayra is old enuff. I was like... uh.... i want money now. I already haf d qualification. Not dat I am satisfied but uhh... I want MONEY FIRST. if i get GOOD MONEY, then Oz can wait later later later or can even further in Malaysia. go to Oz for hols can la, hehe.
Again to my family and all involved, thanks for d good day. Now where was I... owh, counting hours for Khayra to be birthed. hmm....

I survived!

we felt like we had a meeting with MTV themselves

I rarely haf problems for presentation, being an ex-debator, school actress and not to mention many many elocutions and public speakings i haf done. but today i was a nervous wreck, i sweat like crazy and i went to toilet avoiding to be d first few people to present my moodboards.

Ms Nicole from RMIT was present, to moderate and comment on our progression so dat we can improvise in wutever posibble ways. this is not d 1st time we haf a progression with ms nicole, she was around last semester as well.
well... i was d 5th person to present, after Andy, Afza, Husni and Faren. oklah... not too early, and i get to recite as many Ayat Kursi as i can he he. but it went well, and i actually feel more confident when Ms Nicole gasp as my moodboard appears on the projector screen. Eugene who knows every single bit bout my concept was bz nodding, and Ms Nicole said she liked my color scheme, which credit to Eugene again for reminding me to maintain the color scheme for each ident. as i explain my concept, how i want to manipulate two very different ideas - science and MTV, i could see Ms Nicole nodding and dat adds up to my confidence. all in all it went well, the only amendment i haf to make is to chane d greenboard colour to slightly more bluish, and the location setting of physics ident from a lecture hall to a physics lab/class. not too bad, as compared to some who had to do major changes. the advantage of seeing Eugene all d time :op.

why? why did i felt so nervous before presenting? it's prolly the 'want' to make this a success, the desperation, the need. i was really afraid if anything goes wrong, if Ms Nicole or Eugene find my style, idea and character design suck. and the need for this to give my CV/portfolio a plus point. all these add up to the tense i had.

Phewwhh Alhamdulillah... now i will haf to start animating, yeappp the hardest part is here! more sleepless nites and aching head/back/eyes... i asked for this didn't i? but i guess i'm still up to it. may this be my way to richness!! :op
