The Current State

Going through which what I called, "critical months" now, writing up and many readings to do. Hope everything goes well. It's semester break now and I do not need to check in to work everyday. The worst thing is, I have been living like an owl; working late at night and sleep in the morning. Now, I can hear the newspaper delivery driver delivering the newspaper from my room.

Here's today's current state:


Doing headache stuff and it's still not much progress yet
How I wish my table could be like this:

Christmas Time is Here

Christmas is only 2 days away. Spent some time to challenge my drawing and of cause with some helps from this tutorial. My ideal Christmas picture can't miss out a snowman. This is more fun than writing and reading boring stuff.

Dedicate this drawing to all my friends, Merry Christmas to you all and wish you have a blessed 2011 ahead.

-Merry Christmas to all!-

Think out of the box. Be creative. Hmmm....

Something moving in my head

Joy Ride, originally uploaded by Boy_Wonder, blogged by reeN!ezart

It's the second week of teaching this semester and it's been great so far. My teaching load is reduced this semester as I need to focus more on my studies. However, I can't seem to focus on it lately. It's like something is always in my head, moving around and distracting me. It's so @#$%^&*@#$

&mdash That "something", Go Away!

And I want to do some photography. It's been a long time since my last one.
And I need to get the application documents done.
And I need to get a drawing done too.

Muchness?

&mdash An old photo. I've not been taking photos for a while.

It seems like I’ve failed to close down this blog. I was thinking maybe this blog might come in handy one day when I finally found the perfect mix of things to blog about. At the meantime, just remain this blog as simple as possible to keep me easy to maintain. Hopefully, I have some spare time to update it constantly and inspire to blog. And I really need a long break to design my own interface and layout but when would it be.

I watched Glee and I love this series so much and the songs too. True Colors is one of the songs featured.

I see your true colors
and that's why I love you
so don't be afraid to let them show
your true colors
true colors are beautiful
like a rainbow

Another photo manipulation of mine. A place where I wish to go.

2010's First Sunlight

2010's First Sunlight, originally uploaded by reeN!ezart, blogged by reeN!ezart.

It's also my first photo in the year 2010

It was such memorable experience to shoot the first sunrise of the year with friends. Sacrificed my sleep for it. However, it was a bit cloudy and we couldn’t manage to get the sunrise so ended up taking the sunlight and other things but it was still a great experience.

Visit my photoblog for more photos.

There is no other better way to start a year than this.

What's your new year resolution? Everyone is talking about it, in blog, in Twitter, in Facebook, everywhere. I haven't really thought of any, I would have many I guess but there are few particular things that I seriously want to achieve. Aja-aja 2010!

Happy 2010 to you!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

It's a bit too late to wish you all Merry Christmas now but better than nothing and new year is approaching, so still in time to wish you all Happy New Year.

How was your Christmas? I had a simple one this year but it was still great.

Model Shoot

Model Shoot, originally uploaded by reeN!ezart, blogged by reeN!ezart.

This is another overdue photo but finally it's done.

I joined my friend who organized this event for a photo shoot on the models at Pasir Pandak last month. Frankly speaking, I never had this experience before so this is my first challenge. I used to dislike taking portrait shots before as I think it’s hard get the right angle and people’s expression but now I’m getting more into it and I love it.

Many thanks to my friend, Ahsan who organized this and the models (Swing, Maria, Sarah, Raad) for such a wonderful session.

For more photos, please visit my photoblog.

A sneak peek for now, will upload more once I'm done.

It's my first model shoot btw. So, please comment and let me know what you think. Thanks a lot :)

A Goldfish in an Aquarium

A Goldfish in an Aquarium, originally uploaded by reeN!ezart, blogged by reeN!ezart.

Went to have a road trip with my family and stopped by at a shop to have lunch. There's an aquarium full of goldfish and it caught my attention to play around few shots with nifty fifty.

Will be heading to Penang tomorrow for a week. A break after finished up a paper feels great. The main purpose of going to Penang will be revealed with photos when I'm back.
