He had His reasons

Saw this sijil and it immediately brought me back to earth. I remember feeling restless at the camp. My heart thumped unusually and I broke out into profuse sweat. Could be because it was my first time being away from home. Away from my family. Signs of homesickness I presumed. A new feeling. But the next thing I knew, life took its own course the following week. And everything just fell into place and gave meaning to my restlessness. I lost the one person who had Paradise beneath her feet. My Mimi. This certificate, it exists not as a form of nostalgia nor a form of sentimentalism. It exists to remind me that in a span of short period of time, anything could happen or be taken away from me, granted that they are actually lent  to me. But of course, everything that happens has already been written,  Maktub. Every shape or form that we possess in this life are not ours. Even our own selves. Eventually, everything belongs to Allah swt and it's only fair if He decide...

Every ounce of confidence

Nothing is more infuriating than to see Photobucket ruining your blog. Dang. Should have seen this coming years ago but there was no way I could predict this as we are all not gifted with the power of seeing the future. Or do we? Haha I don't make sense. The reason why I preferred uploading my photos using Photobucket is the freedom I get to choose the photo size that I wish to upload. While Blogger provides the same function, however, I feel like it's limited and the photos don't always turn out to the size that I want it to be and the only quick fix to this is to resize it on Photoshop and that for me is a hassle. Hm quick sangat. But that seems to not be the case anymore as Photobucket is forcing me to subscribe to its new (and utterly annoying) plan that requires money. There are two ways that I could do to solve this problem: 1) Subscribe to the said plan that would eventually enable people to view my photos - however, this costs money. And boy das esspensive (If yo...

Semester Break

I had just recently sat for my last paper about a week + ago and since it was my final paper of my entire diploma, it was pretty emotional. Although there were times when I dreaded going back to Lendu, nevertheless, it was also a place that used to be my second home. I mean, to be surrounded with such loving people that give you nothing but sweet memories, how can you not treasure it? Moving on. I had initially wrote this blog post yesterday and as I was putting together the photos I took back in May, something went wrong and I accidentally deleted THE WHOLE BLOG POST. Yes, the words, the pictures, all gone. The pictures, I don't worry so much because I can just re-upload it but the 350 words or so that I wrote were all deleted and before I could undo everything, my stupid blogger automatically saved the post which left me with an empty draft. What a soreeeeeee and it's now giving me a headache to scramble my thoughts on what I had written previously. And for someone who ...

Twenty-fourteen: recap

Blog was abandoned for half a year : ( And my excuse is, 2014 was hectic. 2014 in photographs: 1. Lokal Lendu 2. A must-go-to-event-when-you're-in-Lendu: Symptoms 4 3. A short trip to PD with my family. It was during the time when MH370 went missing (08/03/2014), we decided to stay in and watch the news instead. Tragic. 4. During the fasting month when Wana bought bunga api for us. Fun times! 5. What happens when I ask someone to take a photo of me, using my camera... #BadLuckAmmelia 6. A shop in Penang. 7. My girl, Najwa, accompanied me for my storyboard assignment. I'll make sure to upload it here soon. 8. CNBLUE Can't Stop World Tour in Malaysia. Long story short: I snuck in my camera but the security was pretty tight in the venue so I wasn't as lucky as I was during TVXQ Catch Me World Tour in KL . Also I was shooting under such a low-light condition and because luck was not on my side that da...
