Learn As I Go

Got myself a new hobby, my dad's D300 camera.

The only basic thing I know from university days is about histogram and image quality.

p/s: I made a blog shop. Gimp, ImageShack and html coding are fun!

Mumbai Attack


Taj Mahal Hotel Mumbai (Image from Javno.com)

Discovery channel showed a story on Mumbai attack. Few months ago my brother brought home a downloaded version of this unfortunate event (don't remember who produced it). I am utterly speechless why isn't there any mention on the Turkish couple whom are spared because they're Muslims in the Discovery's version. They barely mention they are Turkish. By the way, both husband and wife are the survivors in the Taj Mahal Hotel Mumbai Attack.

I was waiting for them to unfold the event on how they recite a few lines in the Quran and at one point the terrorists acknowledge them as brothers and so kept them alive.

They want to fit the whole event in one slot of show time therefore cut the interview short? They decided if-you're-Muslims-you're-save isn't appropriate for public audience?

Well at least tell us why the couple wasn't shot dead like others with them. It leads to another whole idea when the wife described how she drew Pashmina over her head and shoulders to act as an innocent Muslim lady. I mean she was and is a Muslim.

Had Aladdin called me, I wouldn't splurt (What? Another urban dictionary again?) it all here. He don't even bother to use his house phone?

School Holiday

Body clock went off. School holiday has just started. I don't get children screaming downstairs to send them to school. This is bad.



p/s: Clueless on when's school holiday. Only semester breaks worth noting back then

Youtubing

Youtubing last night, to learn some basic French.

Je suis Mizlite
Qui es tu?
Comment ça va?
ça va bien merci

Trying to improvise The Pink Panther 2, Madeline animated series and Celine in this movie;

Jesse and Celine. Before Sunset (IMDb). Favourite.


Remember previous entry about Aladdin neglecting me? Called him last night too, we're breaking up. Time stopped so thought youtubing might be a great idea.

Stumbled upon a romantic comedy movie called A Lot Like Love. Love this scene;

Oliver kissing Emily in A Lot Like Love (IMDb)

Aladdin was my living movie guide. He practically seen all the movies I watched or going to watch. There were plenty of times he skipped lectures to catch some movies. Never occurred to me then that movie is the window to the world.

Anyway, to watch as many movies as possible is one of my bucket list before turning 25.

Wish me luck




Movie Night

Went to watch 2012 with sister and brother. Older brother seen it so he watch Poker King. Started at 9.00 p.m. so we hang around a bit and guess what I bought;


Beads case. RM4.99. Inomata brand from Japan. Impulse buying.

After

Amateur

Oh, about the movie, I really love it (apart from John Cusack in it, like him since high school). Worth every penny from my brother's wallet. Enjoyed it till the last, recommended to all. This isn't a review so bye.



Craft

I'm confused. What's the difference between rondelles those two suppliers are selling? Both are silver plated right? One with RM25 for a packet of 50 rondelles and the other is RM27 for 100. I go for quality but I save a lot by getting it cheaper...if it's of the same quality.

Asked the latter she said all Rhinestone Rondelle Beads are the same. I need hard facts. Oh this is tough decision.

Another dilemma is should I buy Fimo (a polymer clay brand)? Thinking of experimenting with English Rose. Since I practiced with salt-flour dough for a while, I want the real thing so I can bake them solid.

It will be easier if I have money.

In Search of Freshwater Pearls

My journey officially ended.

I found a cost effective lot! Yay!

To School

Sending my younger sister and brother to school, 10 minutes late from usual;

Silence for 5 minutes

Me: Eh, why there's no traffic jam today?

*Silence*

Me: Hah Di, why the traffic is not jam today? *smacking my brother*

*Silence*

Me: Hah Ka, no traffic jam today? *turning to my sister*

*Silence*

Me: ...

*David Archuleta song*

Sister: Is that Mix FM???

Brother: Yes, I won!!!

They were playing who says a word first. Kurang asam lah


p/s: Got my scholarship yesterday *happy*

Went to City Mall

I call this, guilty blouse

How can I not buy this blouse after seeing it lying helplessly on a rack? How can I not buy it?

Some time ago, my Aladdin gave me this bracelet. He's having exam this month, he's totally neglecting me. How can I not buy that blouse for my own personal retail therapy?

This bracelet changes colour from purple to blue to crystal clear, seriously


p/s: my sister thinks the blouse is for old people. Am I old?


A New You

There's this particular mag dozen times a year, for years, been in my house.

I grew up with it though at first only reading funny parts for I couldn't comprehend other sections.

Even Smashits, Lime, Galaxy and Top of the Pop cannot beat this mag in my changing life phases.

Reader's Digest, you changed your editor, again!

Business

Beading tools


Started my mini Swarovski crystal bracelet on the 25th of October 2009, after a week of intensive research. But I paused for weeks because of the mixture feeling of anxiousness, worries, fear, negative thoughts and frustration built inside. Even my logic was in question when I made this technical error whilst handling the wire. I have a debt of RM300 to be cleared off! OMG the pressure!

Read somewhere: DUIT is Doa Usaha Istiqamah Tawakal. Interesting.

A couple of weeks back, I even thought of considering other business opportunity. Now with a little bit of confidence, I started all over again, this time with new insight of the potential market and erasure of limitation I once put in front of me.

I must bring the business theory forward or else I'd be wasting my time in lecture halls. With inadequate CSS knowledge learned in Matriculation College, I struggle my way to produce a very simple blog shop. I hate adverts so I don't place any in my online gallery for now.

Funny how what's in our head only 25% true in reality. So trial and error is the answer. I'll be making lost I know it's coming.


BRING IT ON!



Ram Bomjon The Buddha Boy


Watched Discovery Channel last night. The Boy With Divine Powers. Learn about this "Buddha Boy", a young boy who is said to meditate without water and food for days. I have huge respect for him. Oh, his name is Ram Bomjon a.k.a Palden Dorje originated from Ratnapuri village Nepal. Wikipedia did mention he will appears from 18th - 23rd of November 2009 in Gadhi Mai (don't know where). He was last saw in 2008 so I can't wait to hear news about him despite all the controversies.

Ram Bomjon. Don't you find him hot?


He reminds me of Thích Quảng Đức, a Vietnamese monk who burned himself to death to protest against persecution of Buddhists by the Ngô Đình Diệm administration in Saigon (nothing to do with Ram Bomjon).

I read about him few months back. It was quite disturbing at first. You should read more on him.


p/s: I don't remember from where I took Ram's picture. Sorry



Motivational Song

I'll Make A Man Out of You (Mulan OST)

Aladdin

I think my boyfriend looks a bit like Aladdin...

Aaron Aziz

At first I was like, Aaron Aziz WHO? Never heard of him before as I was too occupied with things other than TV. And so, finally get to catch a glimpse of his so-claimed machoness in Cinta Lelong (15 minutes before the drama ends) and Kasih Tercipta (a scene when Dee came over to his work place to talk about Revlon photo shoot or something - ah well whatever). These 20 minutes of watching him putting up an act legally converted me into "OMG AARON AZIZ IS THE SEXIEST MAN IN MALAYSIA".

Believe me, he was born with remarkably good look that he still appears cool handsome guy in every revolting role attempt. He can never seen ugly even if he tries to! This is insane!

p/s: being unjust to my baby Afgan Syah Reza - haven't post anything about him yet

Update: He actually is a Singaporean. Oh he can sing too! He is officially a heartthrob!
