Continuation =)

Aaaarrrrrrrrrr!!!! Second update from my trip! Hmm....
Another day another adventure!!! On with the trip!!!! XD


whats this? whats this?? House boat!! XD OOO~~~!


Arrrr! Me spies a pirate ship!!!


Ships quite close to NEMO, its like a science technology exhibit thingy, sadly i didn't go there cause we didn't have much time and i was really2 tired to the max -__-



On the way to the museum that we wanted to go to, i took this view ( below ) and i may say i'm no pro photographer but i really liked how the pic turned out, and the way the sunlight was reflected to me was really pretty =)
Hehehe



This was next to the museum that we went to, and its a library! 'Bibliotheek' hmmm... i like the sound of it XD



And finally we have arrived at the museum! Try to pronounce it, hehehe XP



Before going in, i spotted a very SMALL car!!! Hehehe, it was cute and i HAD to take a photo with it, my friend that time was puzzled much by my actions, hehehe *Winks winks* Thanks for taking the photo for me wendy!!



And inside the museum this one exhibit instantly caught our eyes
( And we asked one of our colleague to pose for us, hahaha, props to you jimmy )
That exhibit was really cool!!



Looked outside the window......
"WOW!" was how we described it =)
Its like we're on mars!! Imagine one day the human race living there....this must be how it would look like.....hehehe.




Another case of vanity, hehehe, but then we had to be careful when taking pics near it because the supposedly 'window' was made of plastic and one push from behind could make instant fall to la la land ( yes ppl, a horrendous fall down to instant death, take EXTREME caution! )



The only thing i remember that was safety first bout it was the small puny net on the bottom of the window....right..... as if that would help prevent people from falling.... it was uber small!! -__-
As much as we liked to stay some more and watch the view, we went on inside the gallery, times a wasting, and before moving on i took one last photo of the view again, hehehe...


This is what it looks like from afar...




The gallery to me was really wicked!!!! Two thumbs up!!! Will talk about it another time, but one thing i HAVE to say is the RIDICULOUSLY ANNOYING SECURITY GUARD!!! He got mad at me for something i didn't do!!!! SASAAAK KUUUU, curseeeesssss!!!! I was obviously innocent and he accused me of taking a photo with a flash ( in which i didn't do at all!!! )

Urrrgh......sabar mon.....sabar.......
Oh well.....it's in the past.....let it go and move on aiites =)


On the way back, we happen to stumble accross the one and only DARTH VADER!!!
AAARRRRR!!! We shall rule the world together!!! MWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!



Apparently after much observation, darth vader will not take photos with you if u don't donate any moolah at all, hehehe. ( Pandai menyamal jua eyh, org jahatnya ani )



I noticed he was standing near the amsterdam madamme tussaudes, i wanno go! *Plans to go to the london branch* XD onii-chan, we must go there!!! Hehehehe!

That's all for now! Next update "Into the woods~!!!" Don't miss it!! Heheheh ;)

Days after...Let the photos tell the stories...

The next day on to Van Gogh Museum!!
( Take note due to restrictions, cameras were not allowed in most of the galleries we went to, so sadly my camera had to stay in my bag =( cursessssss...... )
But heres a nice pic of what was outside the museum, so we played round there after the visit, hehehe, i wanted to climb up tho but i was too chickennn to go, huhuhu...







On the way back we stopped by to browse at a shop, and i happen to come by these REALLY CUTE BABIES!!! XD Love them catsss!!! <3 <3 <3


And dinner fish and chipsssss ( it was huge! and that time i was reallly hungry cos i didnt have anything since morning )



This was another trip to Anne Franks Museum, pic below was a building next to the museum, alas....again cameras were forbidden in the museum ( ARGGGH!! ) and my lovely camera had to stay in my bag AGAIN! >_<

This was taken in the Anne Franks Museum, after we had finished going all round the exhibition, can you spot our mother language?? Yes people, the malay language was in it =) hehehehe
Another thing famous in amsterdam was the love of bikes, THEY ARE EVERYWHERE!!! Be sure to look where you are going because if your not hit by a car/bus/tram, you may be hit by a bike.
I almost had an accident with a cyclist once >_< good thing one of my frens were there for me. Seriously, its like a death trap everywhere you go if your not carefull enough. XO
Lookit all the bikes!
Continued later....

Coldness to the max~!

Olaaa~!
Finally managed to update my blog~! Huhuhu

Came back from amsterdam and whooooooooo~~~ am i really tired/busy/cold.etc.etc.etc. >_<

The trip in a word was Fun! So many galleries there and really cool artworks ( tho some did creep me out a bit and some was just plainly "whaat in the woooorrld??" ) nevertheless it was two thumbs up =) too bad theres not much tulips, it would have been really nice to see them in full bloom!

*Note to oneself : don't forget to exchange pics with frens*

Sooo~~....next few updates will be bout the trip, hehehe...

Day one :

-Woke up at 3AM IN THE MORNING!! uwa uwa uwa, cos the bus to the airport leaves at 5AM
-Hungry is the word for that time
-And above is a photo of one being in vanity mode, hehehe
-The flight was in a word 'eeeerrrrmm....' but we got to amsterdam safely
-And it HAD TO RAIN when we got there XO



"Welcome to amsterdam people!! and yes the weather for today is a gloomy cold wet tiring day where the bus had to go around in circles twice, and in the end we had to walk in the rain to get to the hotel that we are going to stay in"

..........


Great.... -__- one the first day there too... i was hoping it would at least be sunny...gosh i was reallly~~~ tired that time...


Upon our arrival to the hotel this caught my eye...


I've heard from ppls opinion that the hotel was pretty crap ( u can see from this poster ) and many complained that the staff was not friendly, shower was really bad, the cleaners rarely clean the rooms, etc. etc. etc. and when i saw the poster i was thinking "................."
Yet I tell myself it can't be that all bad and hoped for the best.
Here's my review of the hotel :
  • Staff 4/5 ( They are friendly to me and my colleagues )
  • Room 1/5 ( First impression when i went in " It feels like i'm in PRISON!" Hahahaha)
No seriously, there were 3 bunk beds that looked like prison beds the beds had NO STAIRS, and upper bunk had NO RAILINGS, safety first ppl!! where is it?? Wish i had taken a photo of it but i forgot so have to wait till college opens so i can exchange pics with my frens AND another reason why i said it feels like a prison in there is that the room had lotsa graffitti in them,huhuhu, can't complain about decoration there
Oh and we have lockers too, which.....well.....works.....but good enough to at least put in valuables inside. >_<
  • Bathroom 3/5 The hot and cold shower works well, but the shower head is a "UGHH...." well...at least we get a personal bathroom in our rooms instead of sharing them with other ppl staying at the hotel
  • Food 2.5/5 not the best but at least its cheap and they have a happy hour too from 5-6 PM
The funny advert caught my eye, it just sounds so cute
"Happy Hour
5 till 6 PM
buy 1 get 1 free
buy 2 get 2 free
buy 3 get 3 free
buy 100 get 200 free
buy 200 get 400 free
Hurry hurry!!"
Kudos for the advert i would say, hahaha
  • They even have a disco at the basement ( for the hotel guest only of course ) which has a bar, free internet ( this i like, hehehe ) and the deco was really cool, the whole walls there was covered with graffiti and signatures from the guests
So all in all, it wasn't all that bad, i had shelter from the cold and rain, had a good sleep and rest and its cheap staying there...
So thats day one...
The most annoying thing that time was i had a really bad cold so i slept early hoping that i'll be beter the next day, such timing for a cold to appear...very~ convenient~! ( Yes, i was being sarcastic, thank u very much, huhuhu ;P )
Updates tomorrow, need to start doing other works now,hehehe, and its getting cold again which calls for a nice hot drink!! WHeeeeeee~!
Over and out~! XD

Second update~!

Bismillah~


Hello peeps! Second update today ( i'm on a roll~, hahaha! Must've been that hot chocolate i had XD )


Feelin a bit dizzy tho cos i had a fever day before -__- and as promised this post will explain a bit more of the fine arts.


As most people think, when someone says 'fine arts' they would automatically assume it's "paintings and drawings" but~~! oh ho ho ho, au contraire ( is it right??hehehe ) it isn't just that, fine art has a wider range other than those two which includes sculpture, illustration, ceramics, contemporary art, performance arts, illustration arts, photography, music, theatre, computer arts, film, architecture, printmaking, textiles, etc. etc. etc.
So my aim for this blog is to post things about the arts that i have learned from traditional arts to modern art ( and of course some tidbits of other stuffs of daily life too, hehehe )


And heres a doodle that i had done previously in class ( found it in my last years pic archive XD huhuhu )

Thats it for now, need to do other work after spending quite an amount of time with this blog, huhuhu, i was practically going >_<>

Enjoy~! =)

Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim

Assalamualaikum everyone!

Welcome to my official blog! ( finally done after a considerable amount of this n that and a couple of *ugghsss!* and *arrrghhsss!!* hahaha!!! XD )


Well to start off my blog will be about 'Fine Arts' in which~, mind you~! is not just paintings and drawings... fine arts is more than that! I'll try and explain more about it in the next update okie, oh and other general things will be included too, hehehe.


Hopefully i can update at least once or more everyday ( insyaallah~! ) The days here so far has been pretty busy for me with college work, activities and preparing for an upcoming exhibition in april, organized by me and my fellow fine art colleagues =)


*Gotta keep things simple* >_<>_< (thats my finger btw! Hahaha,skadarrrrrr ;P )


Okie i guess that's all for today =) Stay tuned for the next update XD and have a good day!
