A Libran
September 23 - October 22
Fair, generous and balanced, you put your heart into your relationships. From dear friendships to passionate romances, sociable Libra thrives on the pleasure of others. Not giving in to the extremes, your graceful, even-keeled nature invites everyone around you to adopt a more easygoing lifestyle. Because of your deep appreciation for all that is beautiful, we are all reminded to stop not once, but many times, to smell the sweet roses.* I like the last paragraph.

Work Work Work
Just done 14 insertion illos for JKM Project. Now doing ems doll for Azila and Tini. After that I'll be concentrating on paintings for the upcoming Floral Choral Exhibition in July. The organiser has just gave me some fund to buy art materials. Isn't that just awesome?
And Daphne Lee has start chasing me for my new book! Have yet to write and do preliminary sketches!
Works. The neverending story. Uh-oh this reminds me of Limahl.

Gemuk
Encik suami dah komplen kata aku gemuk. Dia kata aku perlu kuruskan badan; bukan untuk dia sahaja tapi untuk aku juga. Apakah maksudnya itu? Hahaha.
Hmm...kena start balik diet yang terbengkalai. Nak diet bukannya senang. Dah tua-tua ni, lutut asyik sakit. The only senaman yang aku suka buat ialah lompat tali skipping. Tali skipping baru je jumpa tapi lutut pula buat hal.
Tapi tidak apa, aku jaga pemakanan dulu.
Esok nak ajak anak pergi bersiar-siar di Tasik Titiwangsa sambil mengeluarkan peluh.
Hari tu berat aku 75kg. Tapi terbengkalai sebab aku tensi dan stress dengan kerja. Kalau aku follow je the diet, sure dah turun sampai 60kg. Sekarang 73kg. Target weight 60kg. Bolehkah daku?

Nama aku Emila
Walau aku dah bagi salinan kad pengenalan atau apa-apa yang hitam putih, orang masih silap tulis nama aku Emilia. Tapi aku akur, mungkin mereka ternampak-nampak huruf 'i' di sebelah huruf 'l'.
Tapi emak aku kata memang dulu apak aku nak letak Emilia tapi orang yang tulis surat beranak tu tak berapa reti nak eja.
Terima kasih orang-yang-tulis-surat-beranak-itu, aku suka nama Emila.

Entahlah, kalau ikut bathroom scale, berat aku dah 65kg.
But you can never trust a bathroom scale, can you?
Oklah, kuranglebih bezanya 5kg, soooooooooooooo, mungkin berat aku dah 70kg?
Hmm apa-apa jelah, janji aku kurus sikit!

Aah dah penat aku buat kerja. Sekarang aku nak pergi lepak depan tv tengok Bio channel. Hari tu aku tengok kisah tentang Gene Simmons, penyanyi Kiss tu lah. Tak lama lagi ada kisah Motley Crue. Semalam tengok kisah Mathew Perry. Eh sebenarnya dah banyak kisah selebriti aku tengok. Erm, tapi aku tak ingat kisah siapa..hahahaha bapawk pelupenya koi ni!
Aku dah tengok juga siri Obsessed dan juga Hoarders.
Buat kopi cap tongkang dulu dan ambil buah epal sebagai snek. Roti wholemeal dah habis. Habis camno, anny?
Gudnite, anny! Thank you for being here reading my miserable rants!

Tensi
Aku sebenarnya tensi banyak kerja, hence, the many posts. Luahan perasaanlah kononnya. Aku sebenarnya takde kawan. Kalau cerita kat husband aku, dia buat 'dek' je. Blog nilah jadi mangsa aku kalau aku nak cakap apa-apa.
Status diet
Aku sebenarnya nak tulis hari-hari apa yang aku makan tapi manalah masa aku. Apapun, aku masih menggagahkan diri mengikut pemakanan seperti dibawah sana, selang dua entri. Kalau tukar pun, bab tomyam tu; aku ganti dengan sup sayur.
Berat aku dah hilang 2 kg, beb! Cepat run-forest-run Emila!
Oh pagi tadi, aku breakfast di San Francisco Cafe, Ampang Point. Makan Green Salad dan minum kopi! Nikmatnya! Dah lama tak minum kopi brew! Asyik minum kopi cap Tongkang je.
Oh lagi, skipping bertambah jadi 200 skips!
Bersemangat. Boogie Wonderland.

Penat siut
Baru je habis menokok-nambah elemen-elemen untuk buku My Mom's Garden. Sekarang aku tengah lukis siri Flower Guardians untuk penerbit. Aku kena lukis paling kurang 50 lukisan. Paling banyak 100. Ini tiket aku ke Italy! Pada masa sama aku kena tulis lagi dua buku kraf untuk PTS yang mana aku kena siapkan pada bulan Februari.
Dengan anak yang bersekolah dua sessi, dengan jadi driver menghantarnya pergi dan mengambilnya pulang, dengan menyediakan sarapan dan makan tengahari dia, dengan baju sekolah dia yang macam kerang tiap-tiap hari nak kena berus, dengan rutin diet aku, dengan kain baju kotor yang nak dibasuh, dengan kerja-kerja aku yang tak pernah habis, ....mampukah aku?
Aku cuba. Tahun lepas aku berazam tahun ni nak lepak sikit. Tapi nampaknya tahun ni aku kena berazam untuk tahun depan supaya dapat lepak banyak.

Fatigue
It has been more than a month already that I have been fighting with laziness. Today I realised that it might not be laziness so I searched for information for any kind of sickness that includes fatigue. Found one: Chronic fatigue syndrome. Some of the symptoms include:
- Impaired memory or concentration
- Unrefreshing sleep
- Muscle pain (myalgia)
- Pain in multiple joints (arthralgia)
- Headaches of a new kind or greater severity
- Sore throat, frequent or recurring

EIB: Lost Performance
Received a reply from hosting provider of Emila's Illustrated Blog:
It's a "lost performance" problem. Whatever that means. Hope they find the root of the problem.
KAJI CEPAT-CEPAT SIKIT, OK!

Maverick me
I found this quiz from Marzie's blog and laughed at the results. Some facts are true, some not.
| You Are a Maverick |
 You're a restless rebel with an unpredictable nature. Bright but unbridled, you tend to seek out wild experiences over new ideas. People are frustrated by your great potential, but you love your unconventional life. You're a heartbreaker. People get attached to you, and then you're gone. Your strength: Your thirst for adventure Your weakness: Not taking time for slow pleasures Your power color: Hot pink Your power symbol: Figure eight Your power month: March |

My first interview...
...and that's the only one! lol!
I have been feature in Woman: God's Masterpiece. Bobby Revell interviewed me last year on 18th October, 2007. These are his questions and my answers:
[I hope Bobby don't mine me pasting it in here]
It's been quite a while since I have done an interview here and it's now time to get it going! I have promised this special person an interview and I hope I do her justice.
This woman is an incredible artist who has one trait that shines above all others, she has originality. Many artists struggle to find their "voice" but this one stands out from the crowd and has a style which is unlike any other.
Who is this most talented artist and blogger? She is none other than the unbelievable
Emila Yusof!
She operates and hosts her own blog, Emila Yusof Dot Com. If you've never seen her work, you are really missing out.
Emila is not only a great artist, she's a beautiful woman with a beautiful soul. She is super friendly and has become one of my best friends here in the blogosphere! I could go on all day about how great she is but let's meet this talented artist and read about her in her own words.
Emila: Hi Bobby!
WGM: Before I get into the main questions, I want you to know how much I LOVE your artwork!
Emila: Thank you so much, Bobby! I am so glad you love my art!
WGM: How old were you when you began drawing and tell us a little about your art experiences as a child.
Emila: I began drawing when I was a 5 year old child growing up in an army camp in Melaka. We lived in a house by the ocean. I remember how my mother taught me how to draw the beach; the coconut tree, the birds, seashells etc. I also remember having lots of fun getting a coloring guide from my father. He taught me how to color right. Other than that, it was purely out of passion. Like other kids, I drew almost on anything that I laid my hands on; my father's books, the wall, my own palms, my pants, shirts and the new encyclopedia set that my father bought for us siblings! But it was sure fun having my own drawings beside the illustrations in the books!
WGM: So many artists strive to be unique. You seem to be unique and unable to not be. What do you think are some reasons for this?
Emila: I invest a lot of myself in each piece. When you see my artwork, you will see pieces of me, what’s on my mind and what brings me joy. Maybe this style can be called unique.
WGM: Your art captures so much emotion and viewers get a warm feeling from seeing your art. Some of it is because your art has the feeling of a child's fantasies. Tell us how children have influenced your work.
Emila: Children have always been the influence in all of my children-based artworks. I am inspired by my own son, my nieces, nephews, my own childhood memories, the neighborhood children, not leaving behind the children that I have worked with during my 8 years stint with a Marketing Department in an established company in Malaysia not so long ago. Despite handling all the creative pieces for the company, I was given the task to handle the outdoor marketing programs that involved children. I conducted drawing & coloring contests and was having a blast! It was fun being around them; I got to be a child myself! Yes, I practically joined them in coloring my own coloring sheets! I might be a mother but I do have an ‘inner child’ in me! So whenever I create children-based pieces, my inner child will emerge and all the childhood excitement and fantasies came to life. The girl I was at 5 is still me, not someone from the past.
WGM: I love the organic color you use in your art. Your choice and perspectives of color make your art feel alive and magical. Why is an artist’s use of color so important and how do you see it as part of your style?
Emila: An artist’s use of color is important and sometimes they use colors to evoke certain emotions. Other times artists use colors simply because they are their personal preference and like the way they look. I love using organic colors; strikingly saturated. My choice of colors comes primarily from intuition and truthfully, these colors simply make me happy. I often associate artists with colors; Klimt with gold, Matisse with red, etc, I do hope that people will associate me with my colors choices.
WGM: Who are some artists or people who have influenced your work?
Emila: Basically, I am training myself to be an illustrator and find quite a list of children’s books illustrators such as Carl Larsson, Jessie Willcox Smith, Cris Arbo and many more influencing my children-based artworks. My watercolor pieces are influenced by Georgia O’ Keefe (floral), Jan Kunz (floral) and John Lovett.
WGM: Your art has a powerful impressionistic feel and does exhibit a unique abstract quality. Please tell our readers how you see this.
Emila: Before this, I don’t really know whether my art has an impact toward viewers at all! Thank you for your ‘powerful’ statement, you have just made me realize that my art has actually captivated attention! I am so honored that you think my art has that feel and quality!
WGM: You are now recognized as a leading Malaysian artist (I'm so proud of you!). I see you being known worldwide as a household name before long. What are some of your future plans and what would you like to accomplish?
Emila: Hehe…I am only a leading Malaysian artist-blogger in the All Malaysian Bloggers Project, Bobby! I still have a long way to go. My only reason for being known worldwide is because I have been actively participating in several art communities such as Illustration Friday and Monday Artday, where artists submit their art for the community members to view and comment. I am glad to find many great talented artists from all around the world and befriended some of them. Other than that, I also met great artists from all around the world through Imagekind and Greeting Cards Universe, two on-line stores, where I sell my artworks for fun. I also trade cards with many great illustrators and artists through Monday Artday ATC.
My plan is to write and illustrate children books locally and maybe internationally. For the time being, I do both illustration and graphic design but in the future, I wish to just write and illustrate more children books, besides painting pieces for my own gallery.
WGM: Thank you Emila for doing this long awaited interview with me. You have become such a great friend and I wish you INCREDIBLE SUCCESS!!!!! You are my favorite artist and I always love the warm feeling I get when looking at your work!
Emila: Thank you very much; it’s such an honor to be interviewed by WGM and especially by you, Bobby. Thank you for being such a supportive, helpful and great friend. Thank you for the wish and thank you for making me your favorite artist! Yay! I have a fan! It’s a great pleasure to know that you can relate to my art. Thank you, thank you and thank you!
WGM: Before we go, do you have any final words?
Emila: Yes I do. I wish to thank you Bobby, all readers, friends, artists and bloggers who have supported me and have taken the time to view my art, my blog and left me with supportive comments. Thank you with all my heart.
Love and peace to all.
Wow...Thank you Emila for this wonderful interview! I wish you endless success, health and happiness! Please go visit Emila and look through her incredible artwork. Even better, say hello to her! There is no doubt in my mind she will be famous and she definetly deserves it.
See you all soon!
