    From Michelle!

    Michelle Anne Dying from Autralia made my name letters in return of the name letters that I made her. I wanted to post this earlier but I lost her e-mail; only to find that it’s in the archive folder!

    Link-love #3

    It took me ages to update my link-love list and I am sorry for that. I found so many great blogs and here are my link-love #3. Will feature more in #4.

    Blogs in Malay:
    Seni Rupa Siti: Blog milik Professor Siti Zainon Ismail (atau lebih mesra, Bonda Siti Zai). Bonda Zai adalah seorang pengkaji seni budaya warisan Melayu, pelukis, penyair dan juga penulis. Saya sempat melihat lukisan Sita Dewi secara dekat sewaktu beliau hadir di gerai WiraBukit.

    Pankreas ini punya misi: Milik Cik Daun. Blog ini berkisarkan kisah harian Cik Daun, si gadis manis yang akan melangsungkan perkahwinannya tak lama lagi. Amat menarik! Saya suka tajuk blognya!

    Aku Pelukis: Blog ini berkisar perjalanan hidup seorang pelukis bernama Megat Eusofe. Lukisan Divanya menarik minat saya.

    Blogs in English:
    May’s Illustration & Pictures: May Chan is a Malaysian who lives in Calgary. Met her through Illustration Friday. Her cup cakes illustrations are super cute! See for yourself!

    Singing Snowflakes: Met her through Ilustration Friday too. She’s a research student and also a self-taught illustrator who currently lives in UK. She has another illo blog: Sep’s Illustration. Love her snuggle illo!

    A room of crazy scrapper: A blog runs by Ida Karim or RichyReens. Her Rapunzel caught my eyes and I totally love the embellisments she puts on a bag!

    Somethin’ Light: Hani Ali loves writing poem. She featured my sketch and photo in Absence and As I Remember It. Her poems are all great!

    Negative Negative Positive: A personal journal of a figure skater, Raising Mercury. You can take a peek of her skating on the ice rink and you gotta see her baby Heaven—>>!

    Ulu Langat

    Yassin and his cousins were playing the computer games the whole day yesterday, so my husband thought it would be great to get them outdoor and enjoy nature. We went to Puncak Serambi located at the Bukit Langat not far from our house.

    From Puncak Serambi, you can see the KL City. The prominent buildings are visible from up there.

    Yassin almost got bitten by a monkey which went berserk when Yassin chased him. Luckily, we were fast enough to handle the situation.


    I think it was this monkey but then again they all look the same! (photo by Zaim)

    Later, with the request from Yassin who wanted to go to ‘Segah-Segah’ place, we went further down to Ulu Langat Batu 14½ (Sungai Semungkis) and stopped by the Agrotek Garden Resort . Yassin and his cousins, Fellani and Daniel were having a blast!

    Note: Segah was a cartoon series which was aired in Astro Ceria. It’s about a boy with his animal friends, preserving the nature from the being torn down by irresponsible individuals. Though Segah is not showing anymore, Yassin still remembers the show and would always refer nature as "Segah-Segah".

    Yassin were having a great time!

    Daniel was having a blast too!

    PD Photos

    My brother, Azrai who works in a bank booked the company’s apartment in Tanjung Biru (also known as Blue Lagoon), Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan. We planned to go to Langkawi but had to cancel because sis-in-law is in her early stage of pregnancy and could not travel far.

    Azrai also sponsored our lunch and dinner! Yay, thanks bro!

    Below are photos from our mini holiday:

    Calvin O’ Keefe, Charles Wallace Murry, and Meg Murry embarking on a journey through the galaxy by means of tesseracts, or the ‘fifth dimension’ – a sort of "wrinkle" in space and time. They are in search of Mr. Murry, a gifted scientist and also the father of the latter two.

    Back from PD

    Got back from PD in the afternoon. Am working on something at the moment and have yet to sort and compress photos from PD. In the mean time, enjoy Ben 10 that Yassin drew while in PD. Ben 10 has superseded Ultraman in his list!
