Other Things N Stuff

Crazy how times flies.... For real, it feels so fast I learnt a lot, noticed a lot, and for most... I let loose a little bit more than last year... So.... I'm writing this, for the start for this posting, where I'm outside of my lil sis's new place. She's moved to new area... And I'm waiting here, while it's raining and people are going with Grab for New Year's Eve holiday or vacation... Writing this while standing up, front of guard's house... Well, my experience as blogger after years blogging. But this time rare one. I hardly get.... Maybe I'll do it again, next year? For sure. Anyway.... Back to the reality.... 2024.... A lot of great time. And for sure is, a lot of not so great ones... I still, dislike it although I know, that's what's and how's life is... But not only of the time I mean it, but for most, I caught up with moment where, for most- people. And what's it's giving me at the time, the moment.... The joy, the pain, ...

Do you like movies? Because I love movies so much, I can watch a movie, that I found it "best" to watch many times is my most thing about me that I feel I love movies. But, what's your favourite genre? So.. I just feel like to write about it, my thoughts on my interest of love for movies. For this this time around, I just have thoughts on psychological genre. Not my favourite genre but interesting for me. I think my first psychological movie was "The Uninvited", star Emily Browning and other familiar faces. The movie goes all in, then slowly make me curious, then questioning, later climax, and finally the revelation of what's going on. I was young watching this movie.. I think after my secondary school. I can't fully understand but I get it in the way how the story put the reveal - what's going on with the main character - Emily Browning, with her family in this movie, involving scandal and tragedies.. My reaction was, "damn... That's what i...

I finally finished reading "Overthinking Tapi Buat-buat OK" by Aqila Masri (Overthinking But Acted OK) , published by IMAN Publication, last October. And let's see what my thoughts on this one. First of all, my view is just as from an artist, crafter and blogger, and as a reader... When this book published, to be honest I got caught by the title. I didn't plan on to get it like seriously, because I have this feeling to put aside what I can relate to the title. The word - "overthinking"... But as time past, I started to have the image of this book in mind, and it's repeating. So I feel it and said, "I need to have it" with wondering what the topics will be within. It was more like a calling from the book I could say. And early last month - September - I got it. First of all, the cover illustration - pretty. I love how the choice of the style from the artist. The work is beautiful. And give the visual to what's the book about. At the same tim...

It's strange sometimes how I feel like time flies so fast specially at near end of the year. Now, already November. Interesting, isn't it? Writing this at midnight past 2am. Yes, I'm already sleepy but just feel like to blog out something I guess. I just done with my 2 days booth, which I'm selling my handmade accessories and jewellery - handcrafted by me, each one of them. And alhamdulillah this time was the best one. And I got home by Saturday night, and Sunday where whole body aches.. Still not getting used to it? I don't know but more to my body health conditions I think.. Currently, while booth or which I called "boothing" become my main focus, I too, still, reading books that I got for myself and current reading - "When You Think You're Falling: Holding On To God's Mercy To Keep Going" by Ameera Aslam, a Singaporean born author. And also, I started back with gardening few days ago, after long time... Well... Raining still the season...

It's just my opinion first thing first. There's a lot I think about when come to this 2 types of art, in the field of art - visual art and writing art - both in the same field but different branches of art world. But same history of its beginning..? Drawing and writing I think have the same based - a line to a point to another. Just visual art creation becoming a picture or illustration where anyone who's looking can feel and see clear pictures, a not in words of imagination. While writing (art) started with creation of alphabets - is without of it (picture), offering some people or reader to feel but can't see. Else, both too have the same based, inspired by reality. I've been blogging for more than before I set myself in visual art scene, which almost 10 years, before stepping down from it. And decided to learn the writing-reading-book field. Then after a year and few months I realise things between these 2 fields, and caught me up to write about it. Not a compari...

Midnight. Midnight, always give me a sense of deep connection with my feelings. Like.. Put this in words is something I have a hard time to do. Seriously, it's hard still but someone ever said on Twitter "writing is to be honest with self". Like I ever said, "be honest with what you want to do" - my answer for an art platform question. Midnight where my thoughts grow. Maybe it's because I have things to do and deal in the morning. Else than things at home, gardening or landscaping if it's sunny day, do my handmade stuff or drawing, playing with my indoor plants (oh I still not put out why I started having them), or cooking. Past 12am where actually it is, usually give my mind some space to absorb all in the day without put my mind on heavy levels, these days.. It's much more lighter now. But maybe because midnight where I'm at just quiet, not much of sound from TV, where usually I'll turn it down a bit. Obviously because my parents sleeping.....
