Our version of 7 wonders of the world

Last July, the world has the new 7 wonders of the world. Not long after that, me and the colleagues found out our version of 7 Wonders. All can be found in one toll from working place to Bandar Selamat toll. Never had I know there is so many ‘wonderful’ things in the toll. Hehe.The first thing that we, oh no, Phin is the one who found out about this TWIN TOWER. From far, there is a bridge before it which makes it looks like Petronas Twin Tower. Don’t compare the size though.

Second one, LONDON BRIDGE. Yani found it, I think.

Third, SHAOLIN TEMPLE, which is supposed to be a temple at Cemara Asri. Yes, it’s huge.

Next, GREAT WALL, mini one. I think it’s some Buddhist building with the patung2, looks like still in progress.

There is another 3 including small Taj Mahal. Hehe. But, I couldn’t manage to take the pics.

So, who says only people who work in creative industry (designer, Art Director, Creative Director, and friends) is creative? Everyone is creative. Just let the mind think freely, ‘walk’ here and there.Anyway, tomorrow is Malaysia Independence day and also Phin last day working. Tomorrow will be better, girl~! I’ll miss you so much. The journey on the way back home won’t be the same without you.

Thursday thought

Seeing someone (or more than one ppl) everyday, spending quite some time with him/her/they, can somehow create feeling and bonding among us. In this case, am talking about friendship kind of feeling and not love between man and woman. But I don’t deny that feeling between man and woman can grow from the frequency they meet and spend time.

The quantity, of how often we meet, and the quality, the thing that we talk and share. I meet them everyday, except sunday of course. When we are willing to give and be open, other people will do the same too. Slowly but steady, I can start to share my thought, my feeling with them. Not all though. A certain people.

I think that’s the factor which makes me think again about resign from the job. It’s not only about money. Or the work. But also the people that I am working with, the colleagues. The environment.

I hate farewell. But I can’t run away from it. In this 3 months I have said Good-Bye to 5 people. Another good friend is going to cao soon. Lunch won’t be the same without her. But, she is moving forward for a better future. While me, am waiting for the right time. Menunggu panggilan jiwa, hati dan batin.

62 years of Indonesia

It’s August! The independence month! 17 August which is yesterday, is Indonesia independence day. 62 years. 12 years older than Malaysia. But, from what I see, the development of the country isn’t better than the neighborhood, Malaysia. Sad. A huge country with ten thousand plus of islands, so many potential yet so little human resource.

From what I remember, I used to have the flag ceremony on 17th Aug at school during the schooling time, with some competitions on that day or weeks before. This time my bro told me that he’s not going to attend the ceremony as most of his classmates have already agreed on it (not to go). They gonna write an excuse letter. I goes ‘huh?!?’. They are still teens, bibit - bibit unggul gitu lho. The future of this country is in their hands later on. And now, in their young age they already avoiding flag ceremony on independence day?

Then, he went on singing ‘17 Augustus tahun 45′ song. Two lines and he forgot what the next line was. He asked me, and I continued the song with him. After that, he asked me how could I remember that song, even mum also remember it, but he didn’t. Sigh. I don’t know who to blame, the music teacher at school for not teaching them the national songs or my bro himself as a student for being so ignorance?

Ah well, teens nowadays can sing those hip hop, rock, pop, etc songs well. Remember the lyrics. Imitate their idols. But not familiar with national songs. Don’t know the lyric, who was the creator, who sang it, the spirit of the song, the meaning.

Apa jadinya dunia ini ketika kita sudah mulai melupakan akar budaya negara sendiri?

Anyway, this month fail to be my independence month. Thing changes within weeks. It’s not the right time yet. However, am happy with the situation now, if I don’t complain too much.

A story about my Digicam

One of my favourite stuffs that has accompany me thru this two and a half years would be my dearest digicam Canon Ixus 40. I bring it along to almost everywhere I go (one of the top things besides handphone, purse and keys) from KL (the origin place where I bought it) to Medan, from home to college, from me as a student until me working now, from camwhoring alone until taking pictures with friends and family.

With the small size, I can bring it along and just snap and snap whenever wherever I want. Be it people, animal, scenery, anything around me that I find interesting. Capturing almost every moment of my life. I love the sleek and elegant design that Ixus 40 has, though it’s only 4.0 MP but I’m fine with it. It’s so user friendly. Anyway, I trust Canon alot in camera field.

I have alot of favourite moment that was captured with my digicam. This is one of those when I was involved in the making of CreativeMan for Kancil 2006. By looking at this picture, it brings me thru space of how tired, looked stupid, no shameful and mix feeling I had at that time. My first time acting (though only short one with don’t know how many takes), my first time being make up like that and have to walk through crowd with that make up on, and so on. Once in a lifetime. I won’t forget it.

Yes, I know, Nobody’s perfect

I wish I can gain success in my career, relationship, friends, and family. At least they are stable and balance at the same time. But, it seems so hard to maintain so many things at the same time. It’s hard to be fair, to give the same attention, to focus on different things.

I want to reach my dream, work in the field that I like, at somewhere that can let me explore freely, fly high (the Leo me shown up). I want to be with him. But, he is at another different country. I want my close friends, mostly in my hometown. I don’t want to lose them. I want my family. Same, they are in my hometown. I want to do something for them, make them proud of me, give them a better life, be there with them, all things that a daughter or son want to do for their parents.

Should I pick one to be my priority or work hard on all of those at the same time? Sigh. Am trying too hard to be perfect.

And, it’s hard to go thru LDR when there are still thing we haven’t sort it out and talk clearly. One has this priority while the other one focus on other thing. Two heads. Two thinking or even more.

Suddenly life seems to be so hard.

People thought…

Is it wrong if a guy (attached) go out with a girl (attached)?

Why there are still some people who thought there must be something going on between them?

Can’t it just be pure friendship?

Oh my… Whatever with what people say. He knows myself well.
