The Hare

Bought a 4.5cm thick short stories book last month at MPH Bookstore that cost around RM60. Started to read at the page 90 which yah, I know I'm slow. The book called 'Angela Carter's Book of Fairy Tales'. I read 14 pages of the Introduction of the book that I hardly understand some of the few 'new' words that I came across. But one thing I know that each of the story were cut in short and straight to the point and came from different countries.

Then I came across with this story called 'The Hare'. The story sounds like this:

One day the hare went to the house of the hunter who was away hunting. He said to the hunter's wife: 'Come to my house and live with me; we have meat and vegetables every day.' The woman went with him, but when she saw the lair of the hare and had eaten grass with him and slept in the open with him, she was not satisfied. She said: 'I want to go back.' The hare said: 'You came here by your own choice.' The woman did not know the road in the bush, so she said: 'Come with me and I will cook a nice dinner.' The hare took her to her house. Then she said: 'Get me some firewood.' The hare went to the forest and collected a load of firewood. The woman lit a fire and put a pot on it. When the water was boiling she put the hare into the pot. When the hunter came home she said: 'I caught a hare for dinner.' The hunter never knew what happened.
The end.

Actually this story was in 'PART ONE; Brave, Bold and Wilful Section' that most of the stories were centre around a female protagonist that putting together with the intention of giving the pleasure on how clever, or brave, or good, or silly, or cruel, or sinister, or unluck etc.

So the moral of the story is that you will know what does it mean. First I found the story was damn short and I was flipping the pages for more but its only in 1 page. I found it funny when I read for second time to understand the story. This story is bold and funny.

Looking forward to read other stories. I hope you catch the humour. :)

Yeah
See if you can relate to this one

Hope I'm not disturbing you
Because you look into thought right now
I don't mean to be rude
Cause this is normally not my style
Can I take you out
I feel that if I don't ask chance will pass
And I'll never see your face again,
I'll never see your face again. No

You maybe thinking I am strange
Not every single day, no, beauty comes my way, so

Do you believe in love at first sight
Tell me does that book that your reading
Tell the story of your life
Do u believe in love at first sight
Should I walk on by, turn a blind eye
To love, love at first sight.

I could be the man for you
I can make all your dreams come true
Maybe I'm a fool
For saying I'm in love with you
You may be thinking I am strange not every single day, no
Beauty comes my way
Ohhh

DO u believe in love at first sight
Tell me does that book that you're reading
Tell the story of your life
Do u believe in love at first sight
Should I walk on by, turn a blind eye
To love, love at first sight.

I'll say so long
Say goodbye
I'll say your wrong
Cause here in my arms you belong
Woooo
Oooooooooooooooo

Do u believe in love at first sight
Tell me does that book that you're reading

Do u believe in love at first sight
Should I walk on by, turn a blind eye
To love, love at first sight.

Bitter Sweet on My Birthday - Part 1

Why bitter sweet? I don't know. There were mixed feeling in my heart during my birthday. First, it was my 2nd brother who has left Malaysia to work in overseas. Although we were not as close since the childhood but I'm going to miss him. I'm pity his children (my niece & nephew) who were left here while he went to overseas to work to earn money. Now my niece is staying with her mum at Jinjang while my nephew is staying with his nanny (his aunt). Such unpleasant childhood which is same like mine.


My brother told my niece that he is leaving somewhere to work that won't have the time to visit her. She was very unhappy, unwilling him to leave and she cried. Poor girl.

So on my birthday itself, mum, 3rd bro, 2nd, Cindy (his girlfriend) and me went to KL Central. From KL Central, my bro can take the KLIA Transit. My mum and Cindy followed him to KLIA while I just bid farewell to him at the KL Central. I couldn't follow him as I need to work and his flight at 10 something in the morning. I managed to take some photos with him. Here we are:

My bro looked somewhere, don't know what he looking at.

I wished him bon voyage and take care of himself. That's it. Saw him with Cindy and mum walked towards the transit entrance. In noon, I called mum to ask whether she cried or not. She said she got cried when Cindy cried. My bro cried too. Too bad I didn't follow them to capture the moments when they all cried.

Kids Klick Outing - organised by Photo Malaysia Forum - Putrajaya

Photo Malaysia Forum has organised not only one but this is the 4th time. Kids Klick is a community project aimed at unearthing young photography talent and spread the joy of photography to underprivileged childeren. Under the guidance of PhotoMalaysia.com community members, they teach the orphans from different orphanage homes the basic principles of photography and have fun together with the experiences. As their tag lne is 'Now all kids can klick'. This is a not-for-profit organization that bring out the children to see the world by expressing themselve by taking pictures that sometime we (adults) can see what they see.

Although I'm one of the community but I had missed few of the projects but I didn't miss this one. PhotoMalaysia.com has organised the Kids Klick outing at Putrajaya Mosque last Saturday. There were 30 kids from Bangi's Orphanage home (if I'm not mistaken) and almost 30 community members attended. 15 volunteers from the community members to help or to be the guidance of the children. Each volunteer to guide 2 kids of taking photographs around the Putrajaya Mosque. I was one of them with assisted by Wai Ling (my new colleague) to guide Nor (short form name, as his name is long) and Nasha (same to her name too, long). I was taking care of Nasha who is 7 years old and Wai Ling took care of Nor who is 9 years old. Nor and Nasha were both biological brother and sister. We took them around while they holding the Digi-Cam to shoot around. We teached them what angle to shoot and how to take a better pictures.

I was pity Nor as her fingers were short and small. Whenever she pressed the button to shoot, the camera went shaken but luckily the camera was P&S (point & shoot). She took some pictures that were good but I haven't seen Nor's pictures as he was using different Digi-Cam fom Nasha's.

It was a good experience on an outing with the orphans although we seldom use to go out to do some charity works as we were busy working on saving money for our better life. Never thought of the orphanages or the oldfolks to nourish their life by visiting them or do some charity works for them.

Although times with the orphanages was short but they do really enjoy themselve with shooting and had a great lunch at McDonald, Alamanda; thanks to the generous
man who was one of the community members, Uncle Noordin.

Nothing much to talk more about that, but can find out more on the CHIP Photo-Video Digital Magazine (which I worked for) on May issue or maybe can check on here.

And here are the pictures that I shoot by using the same camera as Nasha used to show the example how to shoot better pictures. She learns fast though. :)

Present from Minna

Minna, my beloved cousin-sis gave me an early-present for my birthday. As she mentioned to me when we gone out together that night that she had bought a present from UK. She wanted to give on my birthday as a surprise but the way she gave me a surprise, doesn't sound like it. As she told me that she bought it from UK. She made me guess what is the present and I had no clue for it.

She finally gave me the answer and she made the confession of the present that she got to take the whole box in order to escape the airport taxes. I understand what she has gone through and I don't really care about the packaging.

She gave a UK-made parfum from DKNY. I have no idea that she gave me a parfum. It was a 'Be Delicious DKNY Eau De Parfum Spray 100ml/3.4oz'. She wanted to give me on my birthday but I told her instead that she had brought in here, why not just pass it to me. I'm anxiously want to use it that why I gave this reason. Hee ;)

So, I went to her house on 26th March to collect the gift. That day was supposed we get to clubbing but she got sick as she doesn't have enough rest right after her flight. Interesting that the next day she got to fly back and she wants to go for clubbing. Naughty her. Anyway, got her gift with a greeting card. CUTE. Adorable. Kawaii.



I think this is the first ever present in my life. Like the fragrance. Like the smell. Like the bottle. Like the present so much!!!

Thanks again, Minna!!!
