Hubby's Drawings

Oh God. My hubby's artwork is indeed quite famous among lady bloggers in Malaysia. I found one of his old drawings of Tilmiz from this site to which has merebak to other sites as well. Unfortunately my husband does not hold rights to this drawings. I didn't want to right about it at first but other than widgets and some little doodle's they have put on magazine's for sale... I think people just take paid art just like that and do never ask permission or give any credits. But I guess I should be proud of my hubby's cute drawings used widely...

I don't blame them because probably they too don't know where it comes from. Plus the owner of this production still haven't done anything to protect his creative rights. What to do la right. I think he's okay with it or it's just too complicated to make your art a patent??? Don't ask me, I don't know. It just pisses me off when people use someone's creation to make money and they don't ask permission first. Teringat to the magazine at 7-11 and not this Contest Model Bertudung or any blogger widgets(got credit) I saw.

I don't know why I'm so pissed over such a little thing? Probably I saw how hard hubby came up with the idea and how hard he worked on it. But kesah2 lama ni semua hubby said he doesn't care much. They can do whatever they want because there's not much he can do about it.

Counting Days

Man, I'm super excited already. I can't wait to visit One Borneo, Karambunai, Tg. Beach and eat sotong, tinguk pilaks lol just kidding, meet my friends/family/cousins, eat my mom's cookings, eat at seafood restaurants and lots more.

My Memories of MJ

Since everyone is sharing their say about MJ I would do one too. As the child of the 80s I am one of the people who grew up listening to MJ's songs and watching his music video's, film's and interveiw's.

The most memorable or should I say crazy memory about MJ in my life is the one I had right before I went to the States. Before that I gotta thank my parent's and my dear old Grandmother(Nenek Payan) for crossing the limits to whatever I am going to write next.

My first celebrity crush was MJ. I think at that time his album Thriller was a hit. I was around 5 years old or so I think when I started to really really like MJ. My favorite song's from that album was Billie Jean's and Beat It, apart from that I also love Ben and my fav music video from MJ is Smooth Criminal. I also totally loved and got hooked to the music video's on MTV on my later years in Illinois.

At 5 I had pictures of MJ and I brought them to sleep. I wanted to stare at MJ's cute face then when I fall asleep. My mom didn't bought me the Thriller cassete so I had to listen to my aunt's cassete at that time. I would listen to it all day long if I didn't have anything better to do. Of course I loved singing along to it and do the dance moves too.

One day my aunt got accepted to a fully boarding school in KK (fortunately) and she brought along her which was my favorite cassette Thriller. I told her it was okay(as if it was mine! Shame on me!) for her to bring along the cassette as long as she brings it back with her whenever she visits my grandmother(We lived at my grandmother's place cause my dad was already in Illinois).

My dad came back from the States one day to help my mom and me with the essentials. I don't remember how many nights before we had to go off that I suddenly remembered I will be parting with my beloved MJ!!! Little that I know, that MJ live in America. All I knew that he was in that cassette tape and I had to bring him along with me before I leave Sabah for a couple of years. Boyfriend pertama tuh. Mana buli kasih tinggal. So pujuk as I might and beind the brat I am, they had no choice but to see my aunt at her school during night time.

When we reached there, I was sobbing my heart out. "Micheal... Micheal!" I said. So they had to see the warden and after that the warden told my parent's and grandmother to see the Principle. I remembered it was a long walk all the way to the Principle's house which was inside the school compound too.

After a long or probably a short talk, we had to go to the warden's place again and then go up the stairs to my aunt's dorm. Then, after a knock I was so happy to see my aunt but still pretended to sob cause I thought if I stopped she wouldn't give her Thriller cassette to me.

You see how I managed to make my parent's and my grandmother drive all the way from Sembulan to Bukit Padang(30 mins drive) and back again for a Thriller cassette? I didn't want a new cassete which was much more better. I wanted the old with marker writings on them. It wasn't the same.

My Favorite MJ Songs

Here are my favorite MJ songs. Ben, Billie Jean, Beat It and Smooth Criminal and We Are the World. MJ, you will always be the King of Pop!!!

Managed to sing the chorus with a bunch of other kids(holding hands) in primary school(Illinois) during some event. This song is brilliant. Watching it again brought tears to my eyes. Hubby told me if it was a happy memory, I should be smiling to this song and not crying. Aww... thank you sayang that was nice of you to say to me.

Staying at Home

Due to H1N1 our plans to go abroad this year telah terbantuts. Just being extra careful lah. Since it has menular so much in Malaysia, our activities mainly involve indoors. I still haven't made any passports. Hubby is so impossible to ask him to go and redo the police reports. :( . We do eat outside but that's it. If I wanna go shopping, I'll go alone.

But then again, like my highschool friend had a vacation with his family in Melbourne recently with a baby and balik KK pun teda apa2 juga.

The art show in KL also hubby said that we won't be attending. Man, it's one of the greatest art show in town and we have to miss it. Dugaan.

This pandemic has made me oh so less energetic. So boring. So bleak. But it won't stop me from going to KK next week.:D Peduli semua itu. Jangan monyet... Aku tak peduli... Aku nak juga!!! Sot sot sudah ni.

Selphya

This is by the way an old story. By some luck, the owner of Selphya found hubby's site and now he's one of their creative team. Now not only newly weds can get their photographs done but they could also get illustrations on their wedding day.

These are their creative members. The only profile that doesn't have a real photo is my husband. haha

Another PC Upgrade

As predicted my pc gave out a loud high pitch sound just after a couple of minutes playing The Sims 3. Ini baru beli pirate ah. Ori belum lagi. I am so pissed. Even more pissed when I have to send my pc for an upgrade. I haven't upgraded my graphics card in a while now, I guess since Drakey was born because I wasn't able to play much.

Now that Drakey can play on his own, I can go curi2 and play games balik. I've just browsed laptops for extreme gamers. There are plenty! I thought there aren't any poweful laptops out there for gamers and I was wrong. Although it's not upgradable and I can't have fun adding in extra components but ok lah... I'm satisfied with what I have read. But before getting one I might just try upgrading my RAM, Graphics Card and add kipas until my pc buli terbang since one fan is only RM6... buli simpan 10 kipas.. maana ko mau cari kan hahah :P

I have to admit, playing pc games are way more expensive than playing games on consoles. So it's worth it to ditch pc games and just play all PS3 consoles and also Wii(XBox 360...buli buang dalam parit). You don't need to upgrade anything... just buy games. I am still waiting for the day when those hackers crack Blu Ray. harhar :P Cheapskate betul.

Menstrual Cup Brand Comparison

Here's a video on brand comparisons on Menstrual Cups. As you can see, there are several sizes and colors from different brands too.As for the sizes, usually they would suggest you to buy for instance a smaller size if you have never given birth and for mother's, you can choose a bigger size.

Who's This?

Hubby told me this picture of me looks like my son. This was taken on my twin cousin's birthday. I can't remember how old was I at that time.

I think I was upset because it's not my birthday cause I also wanted a birthday cake! I was very close to one of the twins since we lived together with my grandmother for a while. My dad was in Illinois and my mom was teaching in Tuaran. My cousin's mother wasn't in her best of health so my grandmother took care of us mostly during the day. So there, I guess that's why I felt so left out? :D The lady at the door is my grandmother. I was probably minutes away from being scolded for misbehaving at a keramaian. lol

Shame shame on me! My cousin uploaded this photo in Facebook. :) Thanks for reading guys.

Pumps from Neo

These are my new shoes. Cute! Reminds me of colorful doilies hahaha. I bought it in Neo, Ikano. I was actually searching for a big handbag but ended up getting a pair of high heels. I think I'll just buy my bag online. There are so much more to browse from but of course I wouldn't loose any calories cause I'll just be sitting down shopping lol.

Happy shopping everyone! :)

Fashion Blogs

Here are some fashion blogs. I totally forgot where I got this from(an online fashion blog). All of them are great and inspiring :)

The Most Depressing JDrama Ever!!

English title: The World's Unluckiest Man, and his 11-day Miracle

See the man in the middle with this brown bag? That's the loser who decided to end his life in 11 days and this series goes through 11 episodes of how lowly a pathetic guy he is. So far hubby and I watched it for 2 episodes. I told hubby it's too depressing to watch. Even though I've downloaded it until all 11 episodes. Hubby asked why did I even download it if it was depressing? Well it was on the "Torrent of the month" in D-Addicts. Last time it was a story about a girl who's father was a lizard. Too weird! It sounded so ridiculous I didn't even bother to download it. I hope I'll be able to find a good comedy JDrama series... hopefully involving Abe Hiroshi or any cute Japanese guys ;).

I'll be deleting the whole series soon. Have to see the ending first lol.

My Mistake on Cleaning the Focus Lense

Last night I tried cleaning my sis inlaw's camera. I cleaned the sensor, the mirrors and the focus point. I wanted it to be really clean and there just seemed to be a blotch on the screen.

Somehow with the help of Google I could open the focus point compartment, cleaned it and couldn't put it back in! Tried as I might I gave up at 4am slept feeling frustrated. Not only that the focus point glass was scratched a bit. I was so frustrated before I slept I woke hubby up told him he had to go to Shah Alam Canon Customer service today. Kacau orang tidur ba hahah.

Little that I know is that when you see a dirty and scratched focus point or a dirty mirror on your DSLR, it does not come out on your picture. The cleanliness of your photo very much depends on how clean your sensor is.

Itulah, pandai2 bah mau buat... But then again if all this didn't happen I wouldn't know anything about focus lenses and that it can be replaced, camera sensor and how to clean them.

I feel so bad. Sudah la bukan sia punya camera. Newbie mistake :P

On Obama's Speech in Cairo

I've just finished watching Obama's speech in Cairo. He mispronounced hijab as hajib. Tersasul? Tekejut bah. I replayed it again just making sure my ears heard the right thing?

One of the highlight in the speech was about the Israeli's, Jews and the Palestinian's. He made an effort to memorize verses from the Quran and also Torah. I have never seen any speech like this in my life. I was awed, inspired at one point, had goose bumps and of course a little bit sceptic(you can't satisfy a human being 100% can you?). I think he made a great impression to the Muslims world.

Also about creating a world without any violence thus closing the Guantanamo prison next year, about not having Nuclear weapons for mass destructions... Such a visionary leader he is.

Current Project: Skiing Tutorial

by Manual Herrero

Hubby's currently doing short 3D animations for a Ski company on how to ski. Ironically is that my husband doesn't know how to ski...at all! Actually there was another bidder who won this project but it turns out that he totally plagiarized the whole skiing process.

From the looks of it, getting all the posture's right is quite difficult. How the arms, buttocks, thighs to be positioned. Also not forgetting how the model should hold the ski sticks and moving the ski's... I also fening kefala tengok. It's great that there are no communication problem. The only problems is that his client is only available around 2am-7am Malaysian time. Yikes huh. Probably office hours in Austria.

So by the end of this project, hubby will know how to ski theoretically lol. Reminds me of The Matrix.

A Mother's Sacrifice

The Mistle Thrush had built her nest on top of a downpipe, blocking the water's passage and causing the gutter to flood.

But desperate to protect her young, she puffed herself up to twice her size and sat in the drainpipe to stop the tide of rain water swamping the nest. She was so occupied with her task that her mate was left to feed her and their young. The images were captured by amateur wildlife photographer Dennis Bright at a house in Fareham, Hampshire.

Mr Bright said he was astounded by the female bird's behaviour.

"The nest was tucked away from the weather in the shade of the roof but it was so close to the downpipe the gutter flooded when it rained.

"It was only a matter of seconds before the pipe flooded, and water cascaded over the sides."

Mr Bright said he was amazed by the bird's ingenuity.

"She had to come up with a solution so she puffed herself up so she was twice the size of her mate and used her body as a cork to stop the water - it was absolutely amazing.

"She was very dedicated, sitting there even when the rain was hammering down. Then every half an hour she would get out, dry herself off and come back.

"The male was doing most of the work - feeding her and the chicks when she was sitting in the pipe. I feel so lucky to have witnessed something so rare and unique."

Hester Phillips, from the RSPB, said she had never seen such a situation.

"We've heard of them nesting in some unusual sites before, namely on the top of traffic light, but we've certainly not come across anything like this before.

"Birds can be amazingly hardy creatures, their endurance is incredible - especially when protecting their young."

From an online shop that sells Menstrual Cups. Funny huh!

How can I be so naive. I thought there where only 1 brand of menstrual cups. I didn't do any further research much much earlier and was overjoyed with the fact of the invention of menstrual cups and without any delay posted the same product brand ^_^.There are so many reviews on menstrual cup products.

Some of the brand includes Divacup, Femmecup, Ladycup, Lunette Selene Cup, Miacup, Mooncup, Yukki Cup. Ohh... byk byk!!! I have to decide faster.
