Book : Carloz Ruiz Zafon

I found this from Amanda Patterson, on Carloz Ruiz Zafon, one of my favorite writer : His trilogy The Shadow of the Wind, The Angel's Game and The Prisoner of Heaven are my favorite. It's hard to find a writer who writes about the love for books and appreciates it like any other love. He wrote in such a way that the art of reading itself is something so pure, beautiful and deserves to be mentioned....

Mini Escapism : KL City on Foot

Remember the previous posts on my Melaka mini escapism several months ago ?  This time it's KL city, a stranger in her own city.  I finished my Kuala Lumpur city tour on foot. It took awhile because I only got to do it once a week, but it was definitely worthwhile. I've always wanted to do this and to see my KL map finally filled with drawn lines, the feeling is very fulfilling :D  The...

Little Things 92 : Pain

I am not sure how cold my heart is to be able to handle this much pain in my life. I look at pain like it is a part of me. I breathe with broken soul and I am aware of it. Once in awhile I crave for tears that would ease the pain, like it does when one pops in an aspirin for headache. And I feel fine. Is learning about life creates an emotionless person or the understanding makes me underrate...

Event : Art Expo Malaysia 2013

Yesterday I woke up early to go to Art Expo Malaysia, in Matrade Kuala Lumpur. I checked their website for the shuttle bus schedule and aimed for the 10 or 1130 am bus from KL Sentral. After missed the bus and train, I arrived at KL Sentral 1/2 hour late than what I planned.  Hurriedly bought something to eat for late breakfast in the bus *which is pau kacang and went to the bus stop...

Mini Escapism : Junk Book Store, KL

I was searching for a second hand bookshop in Kuala Lumpur when I came across Junk Book Store in Google. The first time I went there was on the Malaysia Day several days earlier - I was hoping it opens on public holiday but it was not, and the second attempt was after several hours spending my time at the Art Expo event yesterday.  The old shop reminded me of so many stories in novels...

There is a reason why my mom is my top 3 in my inspiration list, it's worth coming and seeing :D Along with that, she asked the four of us to exhibit...

Little Things 90 : Time

There must be something small that lead to bigger things in life.  Those little things that you hardly notice, they hold your balance, while you are too busy focusing on the future life. They don't attack you right away, they take much longer time, months or maybe even years.  Those missed dinners, those cancelled plans, those silent sorries, those ignored talks. It bits you...

Outing Days Mini Project

Hello ! So this little project started when I was disconnected from the internet early this week for a couple of days. I've been collecting a lot of pictures from my outing days and I figured I should make something out of it. I did a lot of illustrations based on those pictures, especially on plants and insects.  * * You can view it from my Behance....

Reckless Life 6 : 3rd Month

Third month : There were days I spent exploring new areas and paths, and there were days I spent at home working in front of my Mac. It's either the nature or the work to sustain my living financially. The experiences I had in these few months will be forever imprinted in my mind.  I wish I can tell everyone how living a simple life will change your life. How needing basic things in...

Little Stories 60 : Internet

Almost 2 days without internet and the whole house went berserk. We should probably consider going to an AA program, "Hello I am Azreen, I am an internet addict":D PS : I focused on illustrating and managed to finish 17 pages of illustrations. See how good it is if you just learn to turn off the internet every once in a whil...
