Espirit Glam Rock 2009

I passed by Concord Hotel Kuala Lumpur last two weeks and discovered the Espirit Company was having a glam rock annual dinner for their staff. The event was about to finish but the spirit of celebration still on. I was so moved and excited by their high spirit of cheers! I just felt turning into a rocker to join them.

Gee, I did joined them for a 5 minutes photo shots!

They have been kind........thanks friends and see what I got, some candid shots from the event. Enjoy!

Espirit Rocks!

And continue to rock!

Pantai Morib

Looking for a budgeted vacation and near to the city , Pantai Morib or Morib Beach is one.

It's an ideal hang-out place for couples and family where other beaches are way too crowded. Situated at the southern end of the Selangor state, making it even more appealing. Well, if by all means travel by car, it will take about 1 hour to reach from Shah Alam.

So , it's definitely a great place to travel during weekends.

Very quite, peaceful and relaxed setting, making the travellers willing to come back for a second trip. A great retreat for brainstorming and get away from the chaos city life.

You get to listen to the waves as you stroll along the beautiful white beach. There are so many things are waiting for your discoveries!!! Best of all for such treat.....

My brother and sister in-law really had enjoyed theirs. Too bad, I miss it again.....I was teaching again! Actually, it was an unplanned trip, they just wanted to go somewhere and the idea just popped up at that time.......

Retreat styled Morib HotelThe green & calm setting at Morib Hotel

Wow! Cool creatures in the pond!

Yeah!!! A truly satisfying trip!

Practice makes perfect

Practice makes perfect means that the more you practice, the better you will become.
If you want to become great, then you should practice as much as possible.
"See how fast you are getting better at the piano? Practice makes perfect." is one of my encouragements to my students.

I am on practising mode again besides playing the piano. Another hour to Monday. Happy Monday! Lots of smiles from the girls & boys here:)

I found this video, quite cool but a little bit loud and rappy for me..... but it's quite unique...Ha..Ha..

"I want Emila's cute handmade dolly because..."

My beloved friend Kak Emila Yusof is having a fabulous birthday giveaway. It's a super cute little Red & Green Ridinghood as shown above.

I really want Emila's cute handmade dolly because I am actually a big fan of Kak Emila. So getting a one and only handmade gift from her is super privilege. It will be my little companion to sleep along! The joy of participating and win is equivalent to getting the 1st prize in blog 4 FT!

I have been visiting her for a few times. Every meet ups are super fun and thrilling. Before I get to meet her in person, I admire her works through her blog. I am lucky to be invited to meet up with her, so naturally I got to see more of her up-close works . Her illustrations, craft and postcard series are just so adorable & uplifting, they are even more beautiful when you see, feel and touch them. I feel like collecting them....

Kak Emila is very thoughtful. She is giving away gift on her birthday and I wonder does she receive birthday gifts from friends and fans. I already gave Kak Emila a craft book two months ago. I am sure she got inspirations to create the above from there too.

Guess that you are convinced as why I should win.......

However, the rest of the contestants are also giving a lot of valid supporting reasons in order to win. I have tried my best to state my interests here and I am finger cross awaiting good news from Kak Emila. He..He..Don't disappoint me Kak Emila....please!

Last but not least, again I hope Kak Emila will win the second place at blog4FT as wished!

3- Post your link in my comment box and you’ll get a link back in this post.
4 – There’s no number 4; write now and tell me how bad you want it!
Contest opens to all bloggers (local + international). Closing date will be on 12.30 midnight, 21st October (the exact time and date of my birth) 2009. While you’re at it, a birthday wish might add bigger chance for you to win.

Random Ponders & Blog4FT

"Together We Grow 52 "

is an abstract mixed media art that I created months back

to commemorate Malaysia's 52 years in Independence on 31/8/2009

The green wash is about Malaysian in search of their "Greener Pastures"

The golden KLCC is to signify the 52 years in independence.

White "52" smoke means freedom, creative and constant transient!

The orange bits indicates many countless great challenges

that Malaysians had gone through before the day of its Independance.

I learn from my talented artist friend Kak Emila's blog about Blog4FT, a contest to cultivate the public's interest to share their thoughts on the Federal Territories of Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya and Labuan.

The objectives of the contest are:-
To create positive Internet buzz about the Federal Territories (FT).
To promote the spirit of 1Malaysia.
To serve as a powerful marketing and promotional tool for KL, Putrajaya & Labuan.
To highlight the positive activities being carried out by individuals, charities and groups in the Federal Territories.
If you interested to join the contest, visit Blog4FT website for more information.
The contest starts on October 5, 2009 and ends on January 5, 2010 and is divided into four categories – Malaysian public, international (open to overseas bloggers), junior (under-18) and Malaysian media.

The prizes are truly "WOW".

One of the prizes is a Peugeot 308 VTi + Trophy for the 1st prize of Malaysian public.

So don't miss this great opportunity to take part yeah!

Thanks to my darling brother. I get to read good books.

I am reading this good book "Write to Sell the Ultimate Guide to Great Copywriting" to help me write better entries for the above mention. Mean while, it's to improve my blog content and composition too.

Get well prepare first...He..He..And go to KL to get some good pictures and write...write and share...! Most importantly is the fun in blogging and what's better if I could win too! I guess I am just dreaming.......Kak Emila, I hope you get 2nd place as wished OK! Same goes to all that are participating in the contest.

Dear friends,

Happy weekends and have

a blessed magical gift from this little guy!

The powerful germs' spell "M" & "W":

"Magical" & "Wonderful" are here with you and forever.

My daily routine with cotton buds

Everyday, I apply traditional medicine to my affected skin. No jokes, it requires time, patience and discipline. I pray and know that God's healing hand is upon me and I will get well soon.

Above is an art piece that I randomly created and I really satisfy with the spontaneous creation.

It's a fox lifting a box. I hope that you all also have the same passion just like Mr. Fox, living our daily life to the fullest despite of many adversities.

See the first one here.

Roses

I have a particular fondness on roses, especially the pink and white.

I managed to shot some close up for my own enjoyment,

hope you will enjoy them too.
