Little Thing 234 : 2nd Anniversary & Video

Can't believe it's already been 2 years ! To the love of my life, Af. I LOOOOVE chu,  and Happy anniversary. ❤ ❤ ❤ *** If you want to see the process video : This is my first attempt in screen-recording while digitizing my random doodle. My MBP lagged a bit while drawing, but it is still a decent-kind-of-slowness. This process took around 30 minutes, which for me was...

Osaka - Kyoto 9 : The Videos

Can't believe it's already 2 months since we went to Japan. I think I already wrote almost 10 posts on the last trip, I'm not sure whether I want to elaborate more detail on that escapism (because I'm already planning on a new escapism project for the end of this yeaaar) :D Af compiled the part 2 for our Osaka - Kyoto - Nara trip last weekend. The video started with some shots in Nara, Expo...

Event : Urbanscape x NicheMarket + Week 2 Video

Urbanscape x Bookit's Niche Market : Last minute event ! The organizer contacted me and asked whether I wanted to open a booth for that Sunday. It was a last-minute fill up so I wasn't sure, but they gave me a discounted booth fees because it was last minute and I told her I can't afford pricy booths for now. So I just joined the event :F Preparation : I was busy because of the client-based...

Mini Escapism : Sungai Kanching + FRIM

This week's outing + picnic session : Sungai Kanching, Rawang and FRIM, Kepong. We were excited about the picnic that we planned since our last outing to Bagan Lalang. I told Af that I wanted to go to any rivers in the area and after some research, these 2 places came into our attention.  So we bought some foods and snacks to our mini picnic the night before. I cooked Japanese rice...

Work Related : Skillshare Scholarship 2017

Oh, oh, oh! Last week I received an email from Skillshare stating that I won their Skillshare Scholarship by Mailchimp! So I received a one-year premium subscription :D How did I win this scholarship ? I've been using Skillshare Premium on and off, every time I received a promo or referral. I wanted to use Skillshare more so I tried to search for an alternative.  That's how I found...

Mini Escapism : Bagan Lalang, Selangor

Another mini escapism with Af. He wasn't happy about not getting any good shots when we travelled to Kedah 2 weeks ago. So on Fridayay,  he told me that he wanted to go to Bagan Lalang - he's nature-sick :F He needs his dose of nature every once in awhile. Plus he is more to ocean/beaches guy and I'm more to greenery (and I don't fancy water) so, I wasn't full-heartedly excited as he...

Osaka - Kyoto 8 : Our Album

We did different thing for our trip this time.  Flikr album Our own printed album book Why ? If you read my posts religiously, you must have known about the story where I lost almost all of my digital pictures since 2009 - 2016 because of my corrupted external hard disk. Never again, will I rely solely on digital keeping.  So 2 weeks after our trip, we bought some coupons to print...

Reckless Life 7 : Week 1 All over Again

On being a full-time freelancer : I've finally decided to become a full-time freelancer again ! This is actually my third time of becoming one (You can read about my previous stories here). After 9 months of working with a start-ups in Cyberjaya, creating and making things - I've decided that being in a boring-comfort-zone-life (even with high salary - normal day job) is no longer suitable...

Osaka - Kyoto 7 : Halal Restaurants in Osaka, Kyoto & Nara

Compared with my previous Japan trip, this time we tried so many halal Japanese foods. We clearly spent below budget after the first week stay, so in the second week after my family went back, we hunted for as many halal restaurants we could cover. I wanted to taste the original Japanese ramen, sukiyaki, udon, soba, syabu-syabu, mochi, and takoyaki. So we did!  I dreaded to write this post,...

Mini Escapism : SK - Alor Setar - Sg Petani - SK

Short weekend ! We've been waiting for our short weekend escapism since I received the invite to my former best friend in school 2 months ago. It was supposed to be a group trip with my sisters and Tasy (and her partner) but they had other plans that weekend - so Af and I continued with our original plan.  We booked the hotel in Alor Setar a week before the weekend using Agoda, paying...
