Other Things N Stuff

It's March and Ramadan. Alhamdulillah... Meet again... Last Friday, I finished a PS game that I wanted to play for a long time ago. Final Fantasy 15 Royal Edition. The game open-world style got me feeling like it, since it's just like Kingdom Hearts franchise, by the same game developer, Square Enix. I think it's just my type of game that I really can go through it, plus, an adventure and action genre. My favourite from other developer, Naughty Dog's Uncharted franchise and The Last Of Us franchise.. From Square Enix, Tomb Raider franchise and I hope they'll make another one in the future like, why not? I finished FF15 after almost 2 weeks. Different than latest one Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, which took me 1 month to finish it... For Remake, I played in early 2024 and stop months before continue with it at near end of 2024... What a time... Overall, I love both game as I don't think I can experience the Original FF7.. But it's only at midnight and through that...

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, ...

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.....

More than one month I've been noticing that I caught up with self-improvement books. Or books that tells how to deal with people while improving oneself. My attention to these books too, makes me realise how much I'm into biography genre, or books that author tells their story in honesty and the truth about who or how they are in life. Or what they've been dealing with as a human.. It's, somehow, make me feel connected.. As I said. My current reading is "Overthinking Tapi Buat-buat OK" ( Overthinking But Acted OK ) by Aqilah Masri. Maybe like 3, 4 days now.. And yesterday, since it's almost 5am writing this, I went to a mall with lil sis. To which while eating for breakfast (although it was almost 1pm at the time), I saw Popular Bookstore. After had our breakfast, we both went to it. My aim really on books from IMAN Publication - to which I don't know why - but in mind just full with "self care and self connect with whatever (self's body and m...

So... Last night I had this random thing in my mind, to write in my own mother tongue language.. I just feel like it and would like to see how it will be. So I'm picking up thoughts from my mind and here I go, about my artwork and my blog writing. Pengalaman aku berkecimpung dalam dunia seni dan kraftangan, sebenarnya bermula dari kecil, seawal aku di bangku tadika. Dimana kebanyakan masa aku atau pada masa lapang, aku lebih cenderung mencari dan mengambil kertas dan pensil. Melukis menjadi salah satu perkara yang aku akan lakukan dengan perasaan suka. Dalam tempoh ini, aku hanya kenal seni dengan melukis, yang menggunakan pensil dan kertas. Kebanyakan lukisan aku hanya sekadar apa yang ada dalam kepala aku sebagai seorang kanak-kanak. Aku hanya ingin melukis lebih dari meletakkan fokus aku pada subjek yang lain, dan subjek lain yang aku tertarik juga adalah Bahasa Inggeris. Tapi aku dapat rasa melukis, atau subjek Seni ini yang paling banyak aku letak fokus serta tenaga dalam temp...

On April, I got down on something that happened at near end of March. Excuse the mess. It's not a studio without some mess, isn't it? As I'm taking my time, back off from my usual self, I just feel like, the need to moved on with what had happened. True is, it was hard one... I talked to a friend, and my lil sis. I don't know what happened but I started to feel much better. And it somehow gave me this kind of energy. Where I started to feel like, I need to do something with my studio corner. Which is, small. Really... But I think it's the best one. I have this feeling. To be a charismatic artist kind. Well, trying. I still feel like I'm a small traditional artist, that still trying... Trying with my art. My style and my way. Since that's all I know when come to myself. Else, crafting. Yes, I made handmade accessories. Well, can't wait to get back to it, after July! I decided to redo my studio, by setting up my "walls". A divider..? It's a p...

Growing up I'm so into anime. Most on top of my life, my answer will be Digimon and CardCaptor Sakura. At teenage, I think I started to like something fantasy yet beautiful in landscape and the visual. Like Japanese or Chinese garden. Or secret garden like, with cottage and wooden fence, with flowers around. Still remember I, I even bought many garden magazines, sharing this one with my ma. She loves gardening. As I grew older, I found myself not many changes when come to my genre choices. Be it when come to movies or books. Before books, I always prefer to go for movies. Meaning, if I know the movie is adapted from novels, or the novel already in motion picture - I just go for the movie. Such as the Divergent franchise, The Maze Runner franchise, Harry Potter franchise, and such. And true is, I started to notice my liking in genre when come to movies. My interest in movies back then and up until seems like never change. Movie Starship Troopers, RoboCop franchise, Termi...
