Artwork: Ideas Come From Lyrics





Assalamualaikum and hello guys!

Happy Tuesday and I wishing good luck to who those start to be matriculation students today. May Allah ease everything for you guys. Ameen. It has been a long day (a week), I didn't update new post. Well, I've no stories to share with you guys. 

But today I want to share some artworks that I made last night. Since I had insomnia (I guess) and I can't sleep early, so I practiced my writing/ typography skill.. Ideas come from lyrics such as Ellie Goulding's "Love Me Like You Do", Nick Jonas's "Chains", The Weeknd's "Earned It" and some of that, I found quotes from Google. 

Firstly, I painted watercolor on watercolor paper and then I wrote quotes on it. I'll frame my typo artworks so I can hang it in my room. I think I should decorate my room because I'm sick with old decorations!

Artwork: The Master's Sun





Assalamualaikum and hello guys!

I'll try my best to update blog daily. Yesterday I just joined Nuffnang Malaysia. Yeah, I know I'm not so-up-to-date. Even though I know about Nuffnang since I started blogging but just now I finally get courage to join Nuffnang. Because I'll start to be a student (again) next month, so I hope I can earning some money from joining Nuffnang. That money will be my pocket money and I can buy some text books without asking money from my parent. I want to be independent! I know my blog isn't popular like others blog. But at least I want to earn something by writing blog. That's why I'll try my best to keep update my blog with useful topics. Insha Allah~

Okay, today I would like to share some of my artworks. Actually it just a rough sketch of The Master's Sun, a Korean drama series that popular on 2013. I still can't move on from watching that drama. Although I've been watching that drama for about 6 times but still I addicted to it! Medium that I used to sketch are Artline 200 (fine 0.2), Artline 200 (fine 0.4), Stabilo Point 88 (fine 0.4)― yellow, dark blue, orange, hot pink.






That's it. Insha Allah I'll post recipes soon. Just wait!
Sayonara.

Travel: Hatyai, Thailand (Day 3 & Day 4)





Assalamualaikum and hello guys!

Okay, this will be the last entry for my journey to Krabi and Hatyai last week. I will combine day 3 and day 4 in this entry.

Day 3. After we had breakfast in hotel in Ao Nang beach, we check out from that hotel because we will heading to Hatyai. On the way to Hatyai, we stopped by at Emerald Pool or mostly known as Sa Morakot. Spending time about an hour at there.

Emerald Pool are so beautiful. You can see the water clear like crystal and the water seems like greenish-emerald. It just woaw and it really amazed me! Again, indeed Allah's creations are amazing! 

You need to walking before you arrived at Emerald Pool. I mean the real pool! It took about 20 minutes walking and it's quite tiring. But once you arrived and get to see the crystal clear pool, you'll feel relieved. 

After that, we continue our journey to Hatyai. This time we stopped at . . . . . .  (I forgot what does the place name is) to buy some souvenirs and we also had our lunch at there. We heading to Chang Puak Camp, it's an elephant sanctuary. Unfortunately once I arrived there, my digital camera having a critical battery low and luckily I bring my film camera. I still don't develop the film, so no photos at Chang Puak Camp and Floating Market in Hatyai. 

We do elephant trekking at Chang Puak Camp. And elephant that I ride named as Abeng and she is a female. She aged 15 years old. After that we heading to Floating Market in Hatyai. We had dinner at there and I get an opportunity to try their unique ice-cream. It much unique compared to Sang Kaya Malaysia. They serving an ice-cream in ceramic pot and that ice-cream is home made and it flavors coconut. It so delicious! Last place we visited on that night is Cashew Factory. We shop cashew nuts at there as souvenirs for family. 

Since it's already midnight, we check in to our hotel. Our hotel in Hatyai is located at the heart of the city. In front of my hotel is a shopping complex. LOL.

Day 4. Ready to went home to Malaysia. Woke up early and shopping for the last time before we check out from hotel. After we check out from hotel, we heading to Nora Plaza to shop leather bags, shoes and so on. Then we finally arrived at Thailand-Malaysia immigration gate. We safely arrived in Perak on Monday midnight. Alhamdulillah.

I feel so happy because I get this kind of opportunities to discover new place. Thousandth thanks to my aunt who brought me to Krabi. May Allah bless you, aunt. I wish I could explore another places so I can learn about other different cultures and lifestyles. 

Life doesn't always has happy ending but happy ending always exist if you face the obstacles before you achieve the happy ending. So, enjoy some photos that I've captured.

Travel: Krabi, Thailand (Day 2)




Assalamualaikum and hello guys!

Right now I am typing this entry while watching Korean drama, Marriage Not Dating. I love to watch that drama because the storyline is cute! 

Day 2. After we had breakfast, our tour guide bring us to Ao Nang beach by riding tuk-tuk. Because of our hotel and beach is near, so our journey to Ao Nang beach just took less than five minutes. Once we arrived to beach, we met with Haroon Joe who is in charge on bringing us to visit the 4 islands in Krabi. He can spoke Malay but not-so-fluently and when he speaking in Malay I can't stop from laughing!

Our first destination is Phra Nang Cave & Beach. Phra Nang means princess in Thailand and that cave has their own history. Google it if you want to discover more about their history. After that we went to Tup Island. About an hour we spent time in Tup Island. We went to next island which is Chicken Island or mostly known as Koh Kai Island. At Chicken Island, I could experienced snorkeling there! For someone who has had amazing snorkeling experiences before, the varieties you get to see here can be a little disappointing. But for snorkeling novices (like me) it can be a memorable experience nonetheless. We went to the last island which is Poda Island. Poda means turtle. We had a lunch at there. We spent about two hours in Poda Island. 

I can't stop saying "Subhanallah" because the view of the four islands are so beautiful and breath-taking and I don't know how to express my happiness when I could see that kind of view of nature. The view of layered color of sea still remains in my mind. Indeed Allah's creations are totally perfect and amazing! 

On evening we went back to our hotel because on the night we need to go somewhere. On night day, we went to night market in Krabi. It took about 30 minutes from our hotel. I shop some souvenirs for friends and family. Then, we had our dinner there. I try their fruit smoothie juice and it so delicious! 

All of us are so exhausted and tired since all day long we spent time in islands. We sun-bathing, snorkeling and swimming there, so once we arrived to our hotel after shopping in night market, we immediately sleep because tomorrow will be another tiring day.

Will continue on next entry. So, do enjoy some photos that I've captured! 

Waiting for my turn to ride tuk-tuk.
