Brief moment with Dad

After my final FYP presentation, I went to see le Dad at KLIA before he took off for Penang.

le moi

I guess I have my Dad's nose.. well the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.. "Mana tumpahnya kuah kalau bukan ke nasi.".. enough proverbs for one day! Anyway.. here's a text my father sent to me before I submit my FYP.. I thought it was so sweet of him :)

well, that's it from me..

Lil Miss Liss

This post is dedicated to a dear friend of mine, Norlisa Soraya or as we call her, Lisa or Liss :)

She's going away to further her studies in the UK soon.. She'll be leaving Malaysia early January.. One thing about her is that she's a very popular (muahaha!) girl, so it's very hard for us to actually go out with her unless we made an appointment or some sort with her first..

About 2 weeks ago we planned to go for a karaoke session, but the plan got canceled.. thus I promised her I'll make it up to her...

...by playing badminton like we used to for one last time.. atleast for now *innocent smiles*

I can say that she really knows me quite well.. I guess because she's a good listener.. Everytime we got stressed out, we will go out just the two of us to the lake and just talk, sing out loud, share our problems and simply pour our heart out on each other.. we've been doing that for almost 3 years already.. No one actually knows where we went as we don't talk about it.. it's just our little secret.. well now you guys know about it *laughs*

Our last Tasik Session with the exception of Azmira who took this photo

So after this no more Geng Tasik or GT.. no more summarizing every episode of How I Met Your Mother.. no more making fun of her height during badminton as she is below the net *muahahah!!!*

Good luck Liss! Thank you for all the time we spent together at the lake :)

P.S, Maher did a video of her giving a speech *diva much? hahah* feel free to check it out at his FB.

AidilAdha 2011

We changed how we celebrate Eid this year.. I guess.. we'll be changing how we celebrate anything from now on..

Briefly after Eid prayer, the whole family went straight to my Grandpa's musollah or in malay 'surau'.. where my Grandma and Mak Cidah were buried.. there lies their graves.. 

It's almost 100 days my Mak Cidah passed away.. so we did a tahlil ceremony for her and my Grandma.. after that we had a small family lunch at my oldest aunt's... her house is just in the musollah's compound.. Not to forget, we did celebrate my cousin's 26th birthday as well..

All in all it was a decent family gathering.. even though I didn't get to celebrate Eid with my parents.. this would suffice :)

2 months sober

How long has it been? 2 months?! Wow.. that's a personal record for me.. It's not that I've been out of the blogging world for 2 months.. but I was just being a silent spectator all this while.. my muse is missing *sigh*

Honestly I don't know what to write.. haha.. well.. enjoy some of the photo I took yesterday..

Sorry guys.. no story today.. *facepalm*

Weekend in Penang

Guess what.. I went back to my hometown, Penang for the weekends.. with my boys... simply because we're spontaneous! Note to girls; you're reading a blog of a very spontaneous 22 year old guy.. Imagine the places we could go when we're bored.. hahha.. so make sure you guys are single aite.. *giggles*

anyway.. lets get back to the main story.. luckily for you, I don't have to sum up all the things we did in Penang, because we all know, you guys are tired of reading my 1st grade essays right.. all thanks to my friend who is also a blogger like me.. a matter of fact, he upgraded himself into a vlogger.. the infamous PandaMerah! *and the crowd goes wild*

enjoy..

Can't wait for our next spontaneous getaway.. 

Van-ning

First time I drove a van in my life... I dunno why... a huge vehicle, windows down, saw-like gear and clutch... it's the perfect combination of a road trip vehicle.. STEREOTYPE! *laughs*

And another thing... I thought the photo that I took above was so beautiful... even though this style have been done over and over.. I still think this is my favorite! I guess with my expression, it's like a road trip gone wrong... if only there's like a tsunami or godzilla... or even my ex-girlfriend's car at the background in the side mirror to enhance the mood *giggles*

When we was young...

...owh man did we have fun

...always... always..

The Strokes - Someday

I've been listening to The Strokes lately and that song just made me reminiscing.... good times.. good times!

Petrosains - The magic in me

This was recorded earlier this semester.. Before we were all too busy to have a social life.. physically that is.. We went to Petrosains KLCC because Shamin wanted to get some inspiration for his final year project...

All the footages were edited by our very own Shamin a.k.a PandaMerah... He has his own style and flavour.. and I look forward on our upcoming project together... it will be a phenomenal BraderBear and PandaMerah collaboration! Insyaallah... 

Candid Happiness

I cherish the simplest thing that life has to offer me. So everytime I see people especially my friends laughs and smiles without me noticing... there's this sudden burst of happiness inside of me.. I feel like an audience watching this sitcom called "Life". *ok poyo*

Little known fact about me is that I really love to snap pictures of people without them noticing.. sometimes I feel like a part-time paparazi *laughs* But most of the time I feel like I'm capturing those really innocent, meaningful and true moments of my life. 

Everytime I flash my Iphone or my camera.... I'm hoping that the person I'm looking thru the viewfinder is not noticing... so that his/her expressions are real and not posing for the sake of looking good in the photo. Sometimes when I got caught trying to take their pictures.. they often smile for pose... it's okay but the innocence is gone... I'm that fussy... for example, a friend of mine is telling a really scary story with the expressions included... but as I try to snap his picture, he tried to smile.. so I failed to capture a very expressive story-teller and I got just another pose-for-the-camera kinda picture.. 

Get what I mean; priceless expressions!

I always like to show the photo I took to them as I hope that they could see the beauty I see...  But lets be frank... most of you guys know I love taking pictures of people sleeping.. cuz I don't sleep! hahahaha...

More candid pictures to come! This I promise you...
