Event : Kidney Day Run 2013

Hello Sunday ! I did my third public run this morning at Putrajaya with my brother, friends, and colleagues. It was by far the most happening running event for me. I was surrounded by people that I recognized :D and I really hope this would not be the end of it. I can't openly say how excited I was, but, yes, I was really excited ! Thank you Azmi, Ridir, Tasya, Faizah, Kak Ina, Ihsan, En.Zizi,...

Movie : The Darjeeling Limited

Last week I finished my Sofia Coppola's case study, watched all her past movies but I haven't finished up my writing on the topic yet. In the midst of all depressing Coppola's movie, I listed one of Wes Anderson's movie called The Darjeeling Limited. That lifted my spirit, because I loved it so much ! At last, another good movie in my personal movie list. How should I summarize? You can read...

Book : Manuscript Found in Accra

In the early April, Paulo's new book hit the bookstore, I brought it home right away. After finishing the longest journey with IQ84, I finally started reading it two days ago and continued finishing it yesterday. It merely took around 2 hours on my first read, maybe due to its big fonts. I'll churn it slowly again afterwards.  The book is set in Jerusalem on the eve of the Crusades,...

Little Stories 51 : 5 minutes event

I was reading the Manuscript in Accra by Paulo Coelho while standing in the train near the exit door. Deeply immersed in the book, before I heard a loud thud. I lowered down my book and saw a woman laying down on the floor. Her eyes were opened and white. She was unconscious. Hurriedly I bent down to her and held her shoulder. I didn't know what to do. I thought, "is she having a seizure...

Little Things 76 : Little Happiness

I think being happy is over-rated. You can create little happiness and appreciate it instead of waiting for huge ' never-ending happiness' people keep on talking about. Imagine happiness is money. Being a billionaire is like reaching the 'never-ending happiness' , but for most people, having money for day-to-day life is actually enough, and that's little happiness people are not aware off....

On Random Updates & Rambles

On Fitness & Health , Yesterday I received my third running shirt ! The best part about entering a run is receiving a free gift pack and of course the moment after you finished the run. Imagine never have to buy any running shirt because you just have enough from your previous events :D 9 more days to go ! * On Case Study : Female Director , I've been making a case study on female film...

Little Things 75 : Love Songs

I listen to almost every love songs and it reminds of my Creator. I feel like I am becoming sheepishly romantic, holding on to the only Love that seems to make sense. When others seems to lose its reasons.  So this is what pure love feels like. Well, it's nice. ...

Little Things 74 : Keseronokan Kecil

Antara yang seronok , Jumpa duit terselit di poket belakang seluar. Nampak orang nak minum guna straw tanpa tengok, tapi mulut tak sampai2 nak tangkap straw. Tengok gambar chantik di tumblr. Hari ais-krim. Jalan-jalan tengok buku. Naik bumper car beramai-ramai. Bila makan popcorn caramel dalam wayang, dapat yg berat sebab caramel dia lebih. Persoalan-persoalan hidup dan variasi jawapan. Perjalanan...

Movie : One Day

A couple of days ago, I watched another movie directed by Lone Scherfig : One Day (2011) featuring my favorite Jim Sturgess and Anne Hathaway. This movie is a book adaptation by David Nicholls. Previously I wrote about a movie called Education (2009) directed by the same guy, read here.  The movie is about two young college graduates, who began a long friendship that lasted over...

Instagram : Rayyiu Radzi

This is also one Instagrammer worth following by Rayyiu Radzi, a 24 year old photo-journalist. It's hard not to like any of his pictures. I fall in love with India by all his beautiful pictures shared in his Instagram. Check out his portfolio here. ...

Little Stories 50 : Impressive Title

While I was reading IQ84 in the bus, standing, next to a foreigner wearing a Faber-Castell's staff shirt, my eyes lingered to the article he was reading : Bioluminescence assay for detecting cell surface membrane protein expression. Gee, is that even considered a full-formed statement in English? :O I feel like reading 1000+ pages of IQ84 is nothing compared to 2 pages of Bioluminescence...

Instagram : Maddie on Things

I found and interesting and funny instagrammer, "thiswildidea" featuring a dog : Maddie the Coonhound by Theron Humphrey! I love how Maddie closes its eyes and stands so nicely in each photo. Maddie surely got great balance. Maddie even got its own book published, you can buy it here. I wish Awan loves to be photographed, but - Nope.  ...

Little Stories 49 : Ribut Petang

It started to rain heavily, once I arrived at the station. Thankfully I brought my umbrella along. I had to fight the rain and wait at the bus station instead, because the bus wont stop at where I was standing.  There were no longer little puddle of water, there was a rain-made river along the road, which I had to go through. I looked at the little river for several seconds, considering I...

Little Stories 48 : Mosquito

It's a bit hot lately.  Weather forecast vaguely predicts raining afternoons for the whole week. Sometimes I put the fan next to me while in the lab, because I was sweating lightly - in full air-conditioned office!  This also leads to mosquito season. I had to ask my brother to buy a mosquito repellent last night, *we hardly use it because my mom is allergic to the smell. Huge fat...

Book : IQ84 *updates*

Notes : Although I am a woman, I am not much of a normal-chick-lit & romance fiction's reader. Book reviews reading experiences mostly came from something as odd and heavy as this or as light and inspiring as Mitch Albom & Paulo Coelho. I know majority of this blog reader is pre-adult : below 24, due to my doodle interest. So I hope you won't take my book recommendation into...

Little Things 73 : The Seed

Things that come easily don't last long.  In China it took forty years to make a porcelain bowl, while a hundred a day pour out of a kiln in Baghdad.  Which is worth more?  A chick fresh out of the egg pecks its own food, while an infant remains helpless for many years.  The first never raises its gaze from the ground, while the second can find stars and galaxies...

Little Things 72 : On Love 2

Everything is now gone. The wide smile, the small jokes twinkling at the corner of his eyes, the light spirit draped in his presence, all vanished in mere seconds. I killed a soul instantly, in front of my opened eyes.  The air to breathe vaporized, leaving just the remaining of those unwanted histories.  I tried to touch his soul, but it disappeared into the thin air. Since then,...

Little Things 71 : What You Want ?

In one of the Zubedy day we attended in February, Mr. Prakash asked us to close our eyes. He gave us 1 minute, to imagine what we really want to achieve in life.  Later he asked us, " Was it easy for you to imagine it ?" For some people,  it was a bit hard at first and it came slowly,  for some it was easy,  for some it was not.  Does it matters to know what...

Grooveshark

I want to share one of my most favorite daily website. It is definitely not Youtube, *that is too common, I hardly use Youtube due to their non-stop ads. It's Grooveshark ! I am not sure whether it is legal to share songs in there. Some sites/opinions said that it is legal, some said it is not. Anyhow, I don't recommend you to upload songs that is not originally yours. I use Grooveshark to listen...

Little Stories 47 : Migraine and Fun Rides

My head pounded rhythmically for over 3 days now, a bit longer than what I usually have. I used to warned myself that there's a small tumor living up in my brain but I read brain-tumor symptoms many times and it is nothing near to tumor. So I made a self-diagnosis and called it a migraine cycle.  For that, I decided to go to the park and have a walk after work with Tasy. I can't run yet,...
