Lost...
|
|
Currently, I feel lost. Lost in my own world. Just don't know what I want in life anymore. Success? Happiness? Recognition? I just don't know. Maybe I am tired of the temporary things. And maybe it's high time to focus on permanent things. Time is flying by so fast. I just can't get the clear images that pass by anymore. Only blurry images.
Is this a sign of boredom? Or is this a sign of giving up? Or maybe it is a sign of maturity?
I just need to think positive, like I've always done.
Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha to all.

A New Leaf Turned...
|
|
Alhamdulillah.. another year has passed. The numbers in the age column has changed again. How time flies sooo fast. As fast as the speed of light (from what I feel). I mean, things around me has changed. But I still feel the same. As if my biological clock hasn't aged a bit. But it differs with what I see. I see strands of grey hair on my head trying to show itself among the black hair. And whenever I go to shopping malls, I keep seeing younger generations loitering about. People my age, or friends I meet have little ones in the push chair, holding their hands. Wooo.. this is scary.
Have reached the age where I have to sit back and think about the targets set. And definitely, there are still some major targets in life yet to be achieved. Anyway, I am really grateful and thankful to Allah for the countless blessings bestowed upon me throughout these years of my life. Without the strength from Him during my 'down' days, I don't think that I can be this strong.
There are a lot of things on my mind nowadays. What I want to reward myself on this day will be a never-ending list. But the most important thing that I want is that I hope that I'll be blessed throughout my whole life and if any of my prayers be answered, I would be the most happiest person.
Happy birthday to me, myself and I.
I know that this is a wedding cake.. but couldn't find any other cakes in my album.. hehehe

After a long period of silence... album from my spring 2009 trip
|
|
Pheww.. after a long period of silence due to my hectic schedule as a student, finally I can update again. Actually, I have finished the duties and the requirements of a student for quite sometime, but the hassle of packing and going back to Malaysia prevents me from updating or even editing the pics I have in my hard disc drive.
Nearly broke down and wanted to give up during the final stages of my studies. But luckily, kept on listening to The Climb by Miley Cyrus, it gave me hope and pushed me to finish it. Alhamdulillah, made it and am really proud of the outcome. And as the lyrics in the song says, it's not about what is at the end, but the journey of reaching it.
And now, I am back in Malaysia. Really miss the days of lazing about in the land of the Queen only worrying about studies. How I wish I could stay there longer. Just for the sake of taking a long break from the hectic work. But what can I do? Just wait for maybe another 2 years to get that opportunity back.
So, enjoy the scenery of my spring trip.

Salam Aidilfitri
|
|
I have been busy lately with studies. Haven't been able to update, but I promise that I will update the sooo long delayed entries once I am free. . Since Ramadhan is near the end and Syawal is approaching, I would like to wish all Muslims and friends a blessed celebration of Eid. Forgive me of all my wrongdoings, intentionally or unintentional. To those who are driving back to your hometown, have a safe journey. And remember me when indulging in the scrumptious meals of Eid.  . Salam Aidil Fitri everyone..

They did it!!
|
|
July is the time for celebration of success. These undergrads graduated and I only managed to spend time capturing their moments before heading off to Dusseldorf. The ceremony was held in City Hall, Hull City Centre and the graduates I captured were from the engineering department.
The venue of the ceremony
AG with his fag in his mouth. Never imagined that this shot would turn out this good. Captured the motion naturally without editing the original shot on motion.
The cap throwing session. Wished I was closer though.
Fresh engineering graduates from the oven. All Malaysian + 1 Indonesian.Proud of you guys! And the best part, all of them are available (non married but have girlfriends though). 
AG again. The engineer cum model wannabe. 
Another engineers cum model wannabe. The guy in the back is taken but the one infront is available. 
These girls posing before their turn. The one on the left graduated the next day (marine science or something like that) and the one on the right graduated on the 17th in IT. Really loved to capture their moments especially on the 17th because the ceremony was held by the seaside, but had other commitments (meeting with my supervisor). 
Well, all in all I had a great time capturing their moments even though I was not in the hall and had to rush to catch my flight. I am soo proud of them. Congratulations everyone!!!

Maulidur Rasul 2009
|
|
Today, the Malay community in Hull held a celebration in remembering the birth of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) which was supposed to be on the 12th Rabiul Awal (tomorrow) but because this year, it fell on a weekday, we celebrated a day earlier. Here are the pics that were taken in the event.

When I am depressed...
|
|
Alhamdulillah, made it through today though I am not pleased nor satisfied with what I have done in my exams. I am just praying for the best. I have done my part in struggling, and now, I'll just have to tawakkal and pray to Allah to at least open the examiners' hearts and be lenient in marking my paper.
The first thing I did after leaving the hall was just pack my bags, and went straight home. Oh, I did stop by to get some things to prepare lunch cum dinner since it was already 4pm and I didn't have time to eat my lunch due to nearly having a nervous breakdown before the exam!
One thing for sure, when I am depressed and in tense, I tend to 'cool off' with food. Yeah.. I know, it's bad as I have been through that since my whole life. Stuffing myself feels good when I am down. Urgghh the sound of it just makes me feel sick! (and now you know how I got my figure..hehe..)
Anyway, I came back and started to prepare dinner. I made daging masak lemak cili api, ayam goreng kunyit garam and kobis goreng. It has been like a week since we (my housemates and I) had a decent meal. Usually it would only be tuna salad, chicken soup (without rice), tuna salad again, baked beans and eggs, tuna salad and tuna salad. So, since I have finished my paper, and in need to release some tension, I prepared the meal.
This is just a pic a found in my laptop. Trying to show the resemblance of food in my life.
Pic taken during Raya 2006 when my office had the Raya feast celebration plus the International Food Festival.
Anyway, I am just dying to find things to do before the new term begins. Guess I'll just be in town to window shop or just lazing around the campus shooting students struggling for their finals. Oh what a bliss!
