Little Things 44 : Small Talks

Most introverts hate small talks.  It is one thing that most of us fail to understand.  I asked my siblings all the time : Why would someone want to ask about something personal in short meetings? What I am currently doing?  When will I get married? Have children ? How is my family?  Where I am working at?  How much is my salary? All those small talks people...

Muji

If you love bright, modern, simple concept, say hello to Muji. It is a no-brand brand from Japan. Easily said, imagine IKEA for Swedish, Muji for Japanese, I guess Mydin is for Malaysian. Ha. It sells everything from small things like crafts & stationaries, to big things like furnitures and houses.  I first found out about Muji from their Muji House while I was feeding my curiosity...

Book : Yasmin How You Know ?

I borrowed this book from my colleague and finished reading it while on my way back from work months ago. It was mostly short paragraph each and it didn't take so much time to finish. I bought a donut, sat at an empty table faced a lake at TBS, and read it as much as I can.  Yasmin How You Know ? is published by Leo-Burnett Malaysia. It is a compilation of Pesan-pesan and stories from Yasmin...

Travel : Renew Passport

Hello ! My passport will expire on April 2013, so for my next trip this December, I had to renew it. Everyone knows that applying for a passport or renewing one will take time. I don't even like the process myself. There was a time when I was 13, I remember taking a number in the morning and went back home, later that afternoon, I went back to wait for my turn. It was a really slow process.  So...

Thought : Apple's New Products

Ever since the death of Steve Jobs, Apple lost its mastermind. Apple is getting weaker. The competition between devices is relentless. Every company is shoving their products to consumers. Every couple of weeks someone I know from my Facebook list will popped up in my apps list - indirectly telling me they are now a tablet or smartphone user.  On tablets : Eventhough I am an avid Apple...

Doodle : Sticker

When I was small I bought a sticker book from my hometown's pasar malam. I went there several weeks later to buy cheap looking RM 1 stickers that I started to collect since then. My older sister taught me how to differentiate between unacceptable pirated stickers and the one that looked decent enough to be in my collection.  I grew up collecting stickers. Years later I still have the same...

Foods : Chilis & Ma

* Although I don't enjoy foods as much as most people do, I do enjoy looking at how they are presented and how interestingly beautiful they can be. Those various natural colour combinations according to how creative and intricate the chef wants it to be.  We went to Chilis in Mid Valley.  We don't really go to expensive places to eat much except on special occasion : Mom's birthday!  * * Pictures...

Book : Blanket

When I received duit raya from the boss for last Eid, I secretly went to the Borders by myself to buy a graphic novel + visual biography by Craig Thompson , Blanket. I aimed for this book after I saw it a few weeks earlier and googled pages from the book. Ps : I bought the last copy :D I've been searching for graphic novel about life, mainly on personal thoughts and opinions. Blanket looked...

Little Things 42 : Learn

Do extra reading. Do more research. Explore and learn. Read because you want to learn. Learn because you want to know. Make it a habit. Not for good grades. Not for rewards. Not for praises. When you want to know about something, Google it up. When you don't know certain word, look up in the dictionary. When you have any uncertainty about some topic, find answers. Make self-learn as a...

Little Stories 23 : Sleepiness

* After dozing off several times in the bus - the longest traffic jam ever in the history of my working era, or maybe I just felt like it and exaggerated a bit, I went to the nearest stop to 7-eleven next to the station and bought a can of cold Nescafe.  And so, my morning is starting to make sense. This is the morning when I need a sprinkle of magical light-caffeinated drink to help...

I've collected pictures of vintage camera since last year, thinking I might someday want to doodle them.  I used Photoshop CS4 and 5 year old bamboo tablet. A friend ask me, why I didn't use Illustrator...

Books : Ghost Stories

I managed to read Coraline in 2 days while on my way to work.  I need to imagine myself being 13, that is the appropriate age to read the book. It was somewhat creepy and ghastly. If I was 13 when I read the book, I might feel little uneasy while reading. I want to read-aloud this book to my children someday- I listened to Neil's Gaiman version and I loved it ! * When I was young...
