Little Things 100 : Let's Turn Back Time

If I could turn back time and be an IT student again, I would.. 1. Create a Behance and Dribbble account and use it vigorously as guideline to success. 2. Read double amount of books every month. 3. Do proper case studies on start-up companies and their products. 4. Still not focus on the programming part of everything.  5. Learn digital illustrating on the second year instead of the...

Random : Another rambling report

1. The rashes from Urbanscapes are still visible and itchy. Urbanscapes mentioned in their Facebook about how the rashes came from the caterpillars in the field - although I didn't even sit on the grass or touch anything, as far as I can remember. But let's be patient, this is not the first time I've encountered any allergies, and I already ate some antihistamine and cut my nails so I wouldn't scratch...

People look for things that are too far, they forget things that are near. And I realized that not only I seek for those uncertainties in the future, I also crave for it. Why today is never enough ? And if today is enough for you, then why do you create your today, for tomorrow...

Little Things 99 : Weirdness and You

Let me tell you something, if you think you are weird, stop, there are high possibilities that you are not weird - but just a little different. In fact, everyone is different - no two persons have the exact same everything, kan?

Random : Last weekend

Last week I met two of my idols : 1) Faizal Tahir Not many people know that I like him, it has never been discussed before because most people know how much Aja loves him - so I didn't want to make it like a great deal. But yes, there are some Malaysian singers that I like, and Faizal Tahir is included in the list. Meeting him last week at Microsoft's Surface launching in Starbucks The Garden...

Little Things 97 : Totebag

Confession number one : I love canvas tote bag. I can simply fold it and put it in my sling/handbag and bring it out to put stuffs when I buy things because I don't like plastic bags and usually when I buy stuffs, I'll say "No plastic, thanks" and stuffed those things in my bag with the receipt - so when I have a tote bag, I can just use it instead.  Confession number two : I have 3 of these...

Little Stories 62 : Sell bag & work

A friend : What are you doing now ? Me : Applying for work. A friend : But it must good for you. You can sell bag. I am not sure if that was a compliment or a sarcastic note.

I've given myself some thoughts on life these days...

There is a thirst of your presence in my silence, and I hold my tongue so you can't hear me utters your name, but in truth you answer to my every call, when my ears no longer listen and my eyes refuse to see.  ...

Doodle : Tribal Wooden Mirror *For Sale*

Hello, These are all tribal theme repetition I did on wooden mirrors. I got four pieces of these wooden mirrors, each drawn by me without using ruler, except for the outer line. Mainly the differences between these mirrors are the character (solo/partner) and the sequence of the corak. I usually do things spontaneously so there might be minor flaws - after all I did it free-handedly :D The...
