Busy Days

It has been a “really” busy day since July…

After the day when we’ve gotten our “key” of the #32 hut, all the renovation work has to take place. Other than that, sometime even well-planned event will find an unanticipated glitches. Anyhow, it was all under-control.

I don’t really like phones nor long hour chatting with cell phones as I sweat lot at my ears. :P *nevertheless, I has become one of the person with many phone calls some time. Calls from bank, classmate, neighbor, partner, students…etc
So, sorry for those who called me up or sms-ed me if you guys find me react blur to you. :”>

Wang Wang- New Member in My Family

Dad’s friend who was kind and gave us Wang Wang- a puppy with about 2 palms sized.
Wang-wang has sharp teeth and likes to bite. He likes to play “a ji-lok” as well. :P Some time too fast that he moves, we can’t even catch him.

Wang-wang actually make us busy as well because he is full of “surprise” and still not trained to be able to leave his “surprises” at the “designated” area. I hope he really pick up this.

Makcik J’s Wedding

Earlier this month, I attended Makcik J’s wedding at Alor Star, Kedah. It was a sweet and memorable moment to me although I’ve to risk my 20% midterm paper right on the second day of her wedding. *I managed to get 15.67 over 20%, *phew~~ thank God.

I wasn’t really have much time to pack or bring what is necessary and I ended-up bringing lot of things that I actually don’t need i.e. make up, jackets…etc. * I don’t even put up any make up.. :-s I looked so weary.

That day, I was wearing normal long pant and a super long-sleeve cardigan. However, it was not a proper attire, and I felt bad that Makcik J’s sister has to lend me her baju kurung. With her help, I looked better and formal to enter the mosque. Although it was hard to move around with a long skirt, I tried my best to take care of the cloth as well as “framing” the best moment out there. But I was sweating like mad, my back was all wet… thanks to the weather also B-).

The Akad Nikah ceremony was simple and meaningful if you ever remember how the oath reading scene like in Corpse Bride animation. I saw all the family members surrounded the couple where the bride sat quietly and was concentrating on the oath reading by her better half.

Under the witness of family members, the bridegroom cleared his throat and made his promise of life to Makcik J. * I felt quite touched and I think the Bride do feel the same.

Apart from this, I saw the respect they pay to each other in their eyes… with a gentle and certain voice; the bridegroom asked if he can kiss on the bride’s forehead. *OMG, I find it so romantic hahaha… I think Big Tree is laughing at me now if he manages to read up to this point.

Besides, J’s family was very sweet especially her parents. :P

The moment before having the family group photo session, J wanted to make up for her mom but the father said “You are my beautiful lady.(something sound like this as I can recall) Immediately I saw aunt’s face was pinkish and laughing with all the siblings. :P

Anyway, a picture is more than a thousand words. Please stay tune in my Le Frame Studio flickr page!!

**Thanks Makcik J for letting me cover your wedding!

Inside-out: photography

Practice make perfect!
It is true. A trip to Alor Star is actually giving me better idea of what to improve and move on to different stage. Of course, there is few other photog gig of J’s friend such as Merlin who also takes good photos which I’m glad that I met them over there.

One World, One Dream.





A picture tells a thousand words :)

Finally, summer Olympics has started. The event that i am most interested on is Basketball games. In the past, US has lost 7 games to 6 different opponents which include their worthy rivals, Spain, Greece and their main nemesis Argentina. All these countries have shown to US that a team of all stars doesn't guarantee success. Excellent team work is always greater than extradionary individuals effort combined together. US has learn it's lesson in a hard way. Therefore, the theme of their journey for this olympics is "Road to Redemption".

Sit back, relax and enjoy the games ... :)

Some thoughts

Have you ever travel to the tourist attractions near to your home? Some may say yes, others may say no, and may be some will say those places are just around the corner from our home, we can go there anytime of the year. When we are so busy looking forward to go to places far away, we always tend to forget the local attractions that we missed, until one day you are at the other side of the world, you will miss all the places, people and food which feels so familiar to you :)

The moon on the other side of the world is not always bigger and much perfect in shape. It is just the same. In US, there are still a lot of dramas in politics, discrimination even among the same group of people, crappy government workers' treatment (Believe me, the ones that I encountered here is much worse than the ones that we deal with everyday in M'sia) and high living cost to cope with...

Well, I think ultimately we have to appreciate the things that we have :)
