The view from above

This reminds me of Jonathan Livingston.

Ah...this photo reminds me of one of my favourite book, Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach. A simple great classic. It tells us to go beyond our limitations and not to give up hope.

Rama-Rama dan Aku

Tangkap gambar rama-rama hinggap ditangan sendiri; rasanya seperti masuk bakul angkat sendiri. Payah nak adjust setting kamera tapi takpa bolehlah juga. Ada sekali tu rama-rama hinggap di LCD screen; nak tangkap gambar rama-rama tu guna suami aku punya LG Arena KM900 tapi bateri dah kong.

PS: I Love You

I don't feel like working this weekend and have been potato-couching since Friday night. I was not feeling too well either. I just tuned in my favourite channel and there was Becoming Jane. It was quite a good story despite the controversy of the actual story of Jane Austen and the love of her life. I have never read Jane Austen's novels before but after doing research on her I am attracted to the fact that she was an English novelist and one of the most widely read and most beloved writers in English literature. I watched Emma (a movie based on her novel) and love the story very much and will stroll along the literature books aisle of any bookstore near me to find novels by Jane Austen. I am thinking of getting few books of hers for my year-end trip to an island (yet to decide on which island but most probably those from Terengganu).

And today, I watched PS I Love You for the 2nd time. I cried a lot during the first time I saw it. Not much change today. The movie somehow touched my heart so deeply. I am a cry baby so I will cry on any scene that provoke my tears. Gerard Butler (ehem..Nessa) looks so handsome not to mention Hilary Swank. She's a babe!

I just logged in after helping my son with his homework and hope the mood to work is here. I am in need of it to finish all my work. ALL! I am so behind deadlines!

Here's a photo from my album; it's my neighbour's. Saw the love shape and quickly took a shot if it.

I saw sea shells on the sea shore

These pictures were taken on my last trip to Tioman Island using reverse lens technique. Yes, even if it meant that I had to take off my lens from the body, reversed it, held open the shutter latch, lay down on my stomach and get myself soaked with salty water and sand; I would do it all over again. It's ugly but that is the trouble of not having a macro lens :'(

Anyway, let's do this tongue twister together:
She sells sea shells by the sea shore, the shells she sells are surely seashells, so if she sells shells on the seashore, I'm sure she sells seashore shells.

Took this picture many months ago while visiting KL Birds Park. Its highly saturated orange beak attracted me.

Raub's Pigeons

Suatu hari masa nak pulang ke KL melalui bandar Raub, aku ternampak seorang pakcik sedang beri makanan pada burung. Suasana amat menarik lalu aku memberhentikan kereta. Emak aku tanya kenapa berhenti, "nak borak dengan uncle tu sekejap", kata aku. Anak aku menjengulkan kepala dari dalam kereta tapi aku melarangnya turun sebab aku nak jumpa pakcik tu sekejap sahaja.

Nama pakcik itu ialah Uncle Gopal. Dia ada kedai gunting rambut dan tiap-tiap hari dia dan rakan-rakannya akan memberi makan burung-burung di situ. Itu sahajalah yang aku sempat nak tanya sebab anak aku dah jerit ajak balik!

Pictures by my husband

Akhirnya kini pasti...

It was my aunt who actually noticed the grapes. This time it's not just two grapes but two clusters, ok!! wohoo!

Lupa nak update tentang anggur terdahulu yang hanya dua butir itu. Anggur-anggur itu rebah ke bumi tanpa dapat sesiapa merasa. Sebab-sebabnya tidak diketahui. Mungkin serangan serangga ataupun ada tangan-tangan gatal yang memetiknya. Tapi apa pun, itulah yang dikatakan, "rebah sebelum masa..'

Kali ini semua dapat merasa...mak aku, makcik aku, anak-anak buah aku, aku, suami aku, anak aku, adik beradik aku...InsyaAllah.

Don't turn your back on me

Took this picture this morning right in front of my house. The cables are a bit mess but I like the pose of the two crows.
