Poem (for the cookie)

Come,

to me.

We,

can be

one.

. . . . . . . . . . nyum! nyum!! dalam perut. Haha!

Pet Peeves : IF

I hate dust! Today I do the dusting, tomorrow surely I will find them again, smiling and waving happily from wherever they landed. Sometimes I just ignore seeing them because they really get me peeves.

Included in the illustration are my pets; Mr. Kontot and Mr. Noko...and yes one unlucky birdy, rapunzel, the prince and his runaway horse. Haha.

Today is Saturday

A quick sketch in response to rizal's "apa cerita? saja suka2. =)"

Oh I thought yesterday was Saturday! (Just realize when I'm typing title for today's post. Will continue posting the sketch coz it's already done anyway.

Since it's a holiday, I planned to look for blue fabric to make apron for my sister in-law, and maybe some buttons, brown thread and smaller needle for my sewing machine (actually I'm still not familiar with this sewing thing so I planned to ask the lady at the store). I also planned to drop by at my frequently visited bookstore and perhaps buy some iron-on print paper for a personal project. The drizzle started getting heavier but luckily I have an umbrella!

Guess what, all the shop that I wanted to go were closed. It's Good Friday lah. How could I forgot that? Actually I don't know that shops might be closed on Good Friday. Not even the slightest of such idea came to my mind.

So I wander around the complex, until I started feeling hungry. Very hungry.

Ok. Saturday story. Weather; cloudy.

I wake up a bit earlier today, thinking about doing the laundry, the apron, illustration friday, who's going to send my mom home in the evening, what's for breakfast, and feed our pets. If you still don't know them;

Mr. Noko is nocturnal. He's very lazy and such a sleepyhead during the day. He's cute but NOT friendly especially to stranger. I think he don't like Mr. Kontot as he will get anxious and angry if he sees Mr. Kontot around. Mr. Kontot is a very naughty and hyperactive squirrel. He chewed the curtain, neighbour's astro cable and broom stick and bit my thumb a couple of days ago. He eat almost everything. So if you want to make friend with him, just share your potato chips, chocolate, cookies, crackers, peanut, pistachio, banana, apple, waterchesnut, sunflower seed (or fried fish and chicken wing?), etc. He escaped from his cage twice but return before dark.

Heavy : IF

I got the idea for this week "heavy" theme when I saw a photo of an old nepalese woman carrying heavy load around her head. The original version of this illustration was arcrylic + pen on paper.

Time Killing

A pen and a piece of paper, end up digitally.

Happy Birthday Lily!

Batik

Pen on paper + digital

Batik is among the most prominent expressions of the cultural identity of the Malay world. Not only it is the most popular traditional type of textile in this region, but the various decorative styles used bear testimony to a cultural history that spans at least two thousand years.The historical centre of batik making is in Java, and naturally much attention is given to the designs originating from there. However, batik is extensively used in other parts of the region, and also made in Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula. Nowadays, there are many choices of modern batik, with more bright colors and contemporary patterns. Batik is not only worn for clothing purpose, but the function has evolved to wider variety such as for making handbags, purse, shoes, or even decorative painting on the wall, etc. Thanks to the late Datin Paduka Seri Endon who had refreshed and brought new life to the batik world.

While waiting to be picked up, I sat at McDonald and made the above doodle yesterday. Below is what inspired me (taken from the book "Batik Design-Traditional Textile of the Malay World published by The Pepin Press, 1993):
