Little Things 95 : Little Garden

I spent some time at Dad's last tuesday. My dad loves plants and animals - the effort and time he spent to take care of them always leave me with odd feelings of both amaze and envy. He has an amazing nursery behind his house and another one in Dengkil.  How can a person take a great care of plants and animals with so much love ?  * I remember things he taught us about plants...

Current books : Spiral & The Reader

It took me several rides to work to finish this book : Spiral by Koji Suzuki. The book is the continuation of the previous book I read several months ago : Ring *the Japanese horror movie. It's not really a good idea to write my thoughts on the book at 2 am in the morning but ah well -.  Basically the horrifying parts of the story turned into more or less a paranormal fiction. The book...

Little Things 94 : Eid Adha

I think posting pictures of cows about to be sacrificed for Eid as insensitive. 1) Insensitive because we are by fact, living in a multi-racial country and should be a little more aware of other races' belief.  2) I really don't think we should snap a photo of soon-to-be-slaughtered animals. It makes us human seems a little bit barbaric - to be happy and excited over the death of others.  I...

Little Things 93 : Observe little things

Capturing human in words is never easy, observing little intricate behavior and putting those up in lines like an artist's careful strokes on his artwork to tell certain details.  Like how swiftly an old man's finger moves on a modern touch-screen smartphone, while reading his latest e-mail that pops-up. How lightly a middle-aged man's hand touches his forehead, easing his headache, his...

Little Stories 61 : New Jobs

After 3 months of hiatus from routined working life, as planned, by the 4th month, I'm back on track. The original plan was : help my mom with her exhibition and be at the gallery for the whole October, but there was a slight change of plan. I was called in for an interview on the first Oct by an international company, been called in for the second session of the interview a day later, and by the...

Random Rambling : 12102013 - 2

Saturday at home felt refreshing. Newly washed comforter smells flowery soft and warm.  Silence in the house, while watching Awan spreading her body on my bed all day long. Long reads on bloglovin' posts of too many blogs that I followed plus Tumblr posts of beautiful things and places of the world. Two cups of coffee once in the morning and once during tea-time, overloaded with writing...

Random Rambling : 12102013

About 3 weeks ago, I had the busiest weeks of the year. Two days of Art for Grabs at Annexe Gallery, and my mom's exhibition. The preparation was over the top, as I planned for my own little booth, I had to prepare and help with my mom's big event. Those two weeks felt surreal now and I patiently said to myself everyday that it's going to end soon.  Those sleepless nights and exhausting...

Scheduled post on 10th Oct 2013 : It's been more than 2 weeks after my Mac's short coma resulting auto-reset on every settings including my WiFi's connection, and since then, I haven't had time to call Streamyx or ask help from Mac center. I've done everything from trying to set the wifi connection again myself with the help of Google and I even went back to the lab to ask two of my previous...
