Sehari di KL Tower, Mogok di Crowne Plaza dan LAMAN2008

18 Julai 2008

aku dan juney telah bertolak dari seksyen 2, shah alam pada pukul 9:00am sebab tak nak terlepas event pukul 11:30am iaitu pertunjukkan gamelan (sebenarnya ada persembahan dari strollers tapi memandangkan persembahan mereka akan diadakan juga pada 3:30pm jadi kami skip). sampai di kl sentral pukul 10:00am jadi kitorang pun pergi makan di mcd terlebih dahulu. aku order 2 hotcakes with sausage, sedap jugak breakfast mcd nie. selesai makan, naik monorail sampai bukit nanas. lepas tu jalan kaki sampai main gate kl tower. sampai-sampai jer, aku dan juney tercari-cari free shuttle service. macam tak ada. jadi kitorang pun mengambil keputusan untuk naik jer jalan kaki. tapi baru naik stairs 1, kitorang dah tercungap-cungap. tak larat nak teruskan. kitorang pun turun balik, sampai jer bawah, security guard tu pun senyum-senyum, "tak larat naik ek dik?". maunya tak larat, naik jer stairs 1, jalan nak naik dia jauh gila. wooh, give up! dahla terlupa nak beli mineral water. tak sanggup aku. sampai jer atas (dengan pertolongan shuttle service), kitorang naik. masa tu, strollers dah mula. masa aku tengok booklet kl festival tu aku ingatkan strollers tu persembahan orang main roller skate ke apa (jangan tanya kenapa aku boleh terfikir macam tu, aku sendiri pun tak tau). rupa-rupanya, strollers tu sekumpulan pemuzik jazz. layan jugak. lagu-lagu yang dimainkan pun best. habis jer persembahan strollers, kitorang tunggu gamelan. tunggu punya tunggu, cultural presentation yang start dulu (cultural presentation nie sepatutnya pukul 4:00pm). snap-snap gambar baru aku perasan gambar banyak backlight. damn. dahla speedlight tak ada. aku gunala flash biasa tu. tapi gambar tak lawa. damn lagi. aku tryla method en azril, barula ada cantik sikit. tak adala nampak sangat guna flash tu. selesai jer persembahan tu, tunggu pulak gamelan. tapi sampai tengah hari tak ada. kitorang pun lepak-lepak bawah tu. dan kebetulan ada budak-budak mat salleh main flying fox. pergh, macam best aku tengok. rasa macam nak main jugak, tapi percentage keberanian tak banyak. hoho dah bosan-bosan lepak bawah (acara pun tak start lagi), kitorang mengambil keputusan untuk naik tower. rm10, student price tak ada. bapak mahal! dahla tak bagi pun kitorang binocular yang comel tu. naik atas, wah, gilalah. boleh nampak bangunan-bangunan 'rumah kedua' kitorang. hahaha sempat jugakla sesi mengambil gambar sendiri di atas tu. lepak kat atas sampai 3:15pm, kitorang pun turun. bukak jer pintu lif tu, terdengar bunyi muzik-muzik gamelan di ruang depan. bapak dia! kata 11:30am, asal main petang? acara di tower itu memang sangat tidak teratur ok. nasib baik jugak sempat amik gambar dorang. sangat mengasyikkan muzik gamelan tu. sedap didengar. selesai jer persembahan gamelan, aku sempat jugakla borak dengan pakcik gamelan tu. borak punya borak, pukul 4:00pm ada balik cultural presentation tu. masa dorang buat persembahan aku dan juney terpinga-pinga sekejap. "eh, asal sama jer persembahan dorang dengan yang pagi tadi nie?" kekecewaan mula bersarang di hati masing-masing. dalam booklet tu kata ada malay, chinese, indian as well as sabah and sarawak dances. tapi yang ada cuma malay, chinese and indian. kecewa lagi untuk kali yang ke-berapa ntah. damn. selesai jer semua persembahan kitorang pun terus balik. nak menunggu shuttle service tu punyala lama. kecewa lagi. sampai jer kat stesen bukit nanas, aku dan juney amik tiket ke imbi, nak pegi lowyat. masa dalam monorail tu sembang punya sembang mata aku ternampak kat bawah orang ramai bawak manilla card bertulis 'crowne plaza...' (masa tu tak nampak sangat). aku dengan sangat terujanya pun menjerit-jerit kat juney, "jun, jun! tengok bawah tu!" juney apa lagi, terus suruh turun kat raja chulan. rupa-rupanya pekerja crowne plaza mogok. aku dan juney berlari-lari turun ke bawah. tak nak terlepas peluang shoot mogok tu. masa berlari-lari tu, dalam otak aku dah terfikir angle mana yang aku patut amik dalam pada masa yang sama aku teringat pesan en lan (dia kata, boleh shoot mogok, rusuhan etc yang berkaitan, tapi kalau kena tangkap dia takkan bertanggungjawab. haha siot jer). aku yang tak pernah amik gambar macam nie, memangla cuak sikit. juney selamba badak jer. yelah, dia praktikal kat nstp sem lepas, dia ada pengalaman dan dia taula a-thing-or-two. lepas dapat shoot beberapa shots, kitorang pun blah. sampai lowyat, beli mmc reader pastu singgah sebelah (sg wang) carik cc sebab nak hantar assignment yang due datenya 11:59pm malam tu. selesai hantar assignment, kitorang pun pegi makan malam (kat mcd lagi). lepas makan, kitorang terus balik.

19 Julai 2008
hari nie kitorang bertolak pukul 10:30am (penat semalam pun tak abis lagi). event laman2008 sebenarnya start 9:30am. sampai kl sentral, kitorang makan tengah hari terlebih dahulu (masa sampai pun dah tengah hari). makan kat mcd lagi (tengah 'kaya' kan sekarang. nanti ptptn dah tinggal sisa-sisa baru nak carik maggie dan roti haha). lepas makan, kitorang jalan kaki ke taman tasek perdana. sampai jer kat laluan ke tasek perdana tu, gate situ pulak tutup, siap dikunci lagi. bengang, dahla panas terik pastu tak ada pun letak signboard laman2008 tu. jenuh jugak carik jalan pegi sana. last-last, kitorang tanya orang dekat muzium tu. dorang kata kena lalu depan. maknanya naik jalan planetarium. sampai atas planetariaum, masih tak ada signboard. hati mula panas nie. pusing-pusing, aku terpandang ada satu signboard 'laman2008 (anak panah)'. kitorang pun ikutla bulat-bulat signboard tu. masih tak jumpa apa-apa yang menunjukkan ada event kat tasek perdana tu, padahal dah masuk dalam. percentage hati panas naik lagi, tapi belum sampai tahap panas matahari masa tu. jalan lagi pusing-pusing carik signboard. tak ada jugak. kitorang pun amik keputusan untuk ikut mat salleh depan kitorang. jalan punya jalan, nampak khemah-khemah kat hujung tasek tu. siot jer, bukan nak buat signboard. bodoh betul la. sampai jer sana, ramai gila orang. banyak jugakla landskap-landskap yang menarik. jalan-jalan, sampai satu khemah besar banyak kerusi dan ada stage. kitorang pun lepak situ kejap, duduk-duduk (yelah, penat jalan jauh tak abis lagi). kat atas stage tu, adalah sorang budak perempuan tengah menari-nari atas pentas tu. gila lawak. dah habis sikit penat, kitorang pun start jalan balik pusing-pusing tempat tu. tak ada apa sangatlah, yelah, nama pun kan landskap-apa-benda-ntah, banyaklah pameran landskap situ. jalan-jalan, shoot-shoot, sampai balik khemah besar. kitorang tengok budak kecik yang menari-nari tadi masih lagi menari-nari atas tu. wahh, gila tak penat ke? lepas lama duduk kat khemah tu, kitorang pun try usya balik tempat yang kitorang tak pergi lagi. dah bosan-bosan, kitorang pun masukla taman rusa dan kancil. lepak sana beberapa minit, kitorang pun blah. masuk balik laman tu. tunggu free shuttle service (shuttle ke cart aku pun tak tau nak panggil apa). lama jugakla tunggu. hati yang dah sejuk tu panas sikit balik. bak kata juney, 'macam hawau betol' (aku tak tau apa benda tu). tunggu punya tunggu, dapat jugak naik benda alah tu. sampai jer main gate, kitorang dah tak tau macam mana jalan balik ke muzium. tanya pakcik polis tu, dia kata kalau nak ikut jalan muzium kena patah balik dalam. kalau ikut muzium polis memang jauh nak jalan kaki. kitorang pun nak masuk balik tapi kena tahan kat gate tu.

"mana tiket dik?"
*aku dan juney dah pandang sesama sendiri
"tiket? kitorang masuk ikut planetarium tadi"
"yelah, tadi dah masuk ada tiket kan?"
"kitorang tak ada tiket"
"ha, kalau tak ada, pergi beli tiket kat kaunter tiket baru boleh masuk"

wahhhh, rupa-rupanya masuk event tu kena bayar. kitorang pulak bantai masuk sesuka hati. lantakla, bukan salah kitorang pun. dahla signboard letak tak betul. tiket booth pun tak ada pulak letak kat sebelah tempat kitorang naik tadi. nasib baik dapat naik tramp balik ke planetarium (tanpa perlu beli tiket masuk haha). masa naik tramp tu, barulah kitorang nampak ada beberapa tiket booth kat sana (tapi TAK ADA pun dekat signboard yang kitorang lalu sebelum tu). lepas turun jer, kitorang dah tergelak-gelak sesama sendiri. apa taknya, seronokla dapat masuk free. haha

Update: Shah Alam, I am here

12/07/08
Tepat jam 12:00pm kapal terbang aku da landing kat LCCT. 20mins lebih awal. Landing jer aku terus pergi toilet. 2jam beb tahan. nak guna toilet dalam kapal terbang tu malas. sepanjang aku flying back and forth miri - shah alam, satu kali pun aku tak pernah guna toilet dalam tu. reason? ntahla. aku pun tak tau. haha faliq was late, but it worth it. faliq nie member aku dari aku form 1 dulu. 10tahun aku kawan dengan dia. first time jumpa lepas dia pindah sekolah is when aku datang shah alam untuk kali pertamanya. lepas tu dah tak jumpa. masing-masing busy dengan studies. 2tahun tak jumpa. fuuhh. gilalah. dia bawak aku jalan-jalan pegi ou. and that was my first time jejak kaki kat sana. aku pun menjadi jakun sekejap. haha

13/07/08
Pergi teman moonsyi pergi shopping 50mm lens dan kasut baru dia. jeles beb, dia dah beli speedlight + lens. aku bilalah lagi? (sapa-sapa ada job, tolonglah pass kat aku :D) lepas tu, dia balik pergi dating. aku singgah sunway piramid, nak carik kasut jugak untuk kuliah. letih jugak pusing-pusing. pastu terjumpalah kedai tsc. flat dr cardin. comel jer. inilah antara perbualan aku dengan pekerja kat situ:

aku: dik, kasut nie ada size 5 x? (kasut everlast color itam, comel doh)
budak 1: *belek-belek kasut tu* takdelah kak.
aku: *frustrated* emm..ok

aku usya lagi kasut lain. banyak gila yang comel-comel. kasut everlast gak, polka dot. aku tanya budak tu lagi. budak tu selamba jer jawab, "takdelah kak." dalam hati aku, kepala hotak kau. kau tak check mana nak tau. aku usya lagi. kasut brand sama. tapi color putih. aku tak berkenan. aku tanya lagi budak yang sama dan sekali lagi, "takdelah kak, color nie jer ade". what the frigg? ko tak pegi check lagi mana nak tau? aku sabar lagi dan usya lagi. kali nie dr cardin, tapi aku tanya budak lain. nasib baik kali nie budak tu ok. pergi check dalam store ada ke tak stock dan nasib baik ada color itam size 5. hoyeaahh!

14/7/08
hari isnin, kelas pertama aku - photojournalism. tapi disebabkan ketua program aku busy kemaskan barang dia, so kelas batal. aku yang sudah sedia malas pun angkat kaki bila en. lan suruh angkat barang dia. hoho. pukul 5 kelas business. boleh tahan. subject tu aku minatlah sikit-sikit walaupun kadang-kadang mata aku dah nak tertutup dengar syarahan lecturer tu. tapi sebab aku duduk depan so tak boleh nak melelapkan mata walaupun beberapa saat. eheh dalam tu dahlah sejuk, nak klua pun tak boleh, takut nanti terlepas pulak benda penting. tahanlah sampai pukul 7:30pm. habis kelas, toiletlah lokasi favourite. before pergi makan malam beramai-ramai dengan classmates aku (tak ramai pun, 4orang jer) sempat jugak borak dengan lecturer aku. dia ajak pergi shooting, kali nie bukan dengan camera, tapi dengan real guns. dayeeem! semestinya kitorang nak. free beb! sapa tak nak? lepas makan macam biasa la, aktiviti borak-borak. cerita pasal praktikal. lepak sampai pukul 9 then balik. nasib baik tak lama tunggu bas.

15/7/08
kelas hari nie dimulakan dengan seminar. dr mus ajar critisizing photographs. pergh, jam gila otak aku. dah berkarat tak guna kan? ngantok tahap dewa jugaklah. maunya tak pening kepala aku menahan ngantok. habis jer kelas, terus naik work station. kelas individual study 2. hari nie presentation work individual study 1 sem lepas. aku paling malas bab-bab presentation. lepas present, en sabki suruh aku pilih mana satu aku nak. aku pun pilih fine art photography dengan photojournalism. tapi tak ada idea lagi nak buat apa. maybe fine art nak buat hdr tapi cam dah berlambak-lambak orang buat hdr nie. takpelah, nanti aku fikir lagi. untuk photojournalism aku tak tau nak buat apa lagi. maybe just stick to street photography tapi ntahlah. aku nak buat work yang lagi power. so far tak ada idea lagi. habis kelas, lunch then kelas methodology. lagilah aku mengantok. lepas makan, perut penuh, memanglah kan. memang ngantok tahap dewa (ngantok jer kerja aku nie). tapi tak boleh tido jugak pasal dia selalu tengok row aku and dia suka panggil orang yang duduk belakang. haha habis kelas 3:50pm, lepak minum dengan classmates aku lagi. pastu naik kolej nak apply dok kolej balik. tunggu bas nak balik satu hal. 4:30pm memang standard bas stop kat seroja tu penuh gila babi. naik bas pun macam sardin. sardin pun tak macam tu kot. lepas tu naik cc dan sekarang tengah menaip blog.

sekian, terima kaseh

Haiku #2

The night is dark
One bed, four walls
Me, my cat and an annoying buzzing bug

Haiku

It's raining heavily
The seats are empty
Loneliness strikes again

A Cursive Memory

Maybe some of you already heard this band, so, sorry for the late news. Hehe I happened to find out about A Cursive Memory few days ago when I watched E-Buzz on Axn. What makes me wanna know more about the band is probably because of their video, 'Everything' where I guess no other band has made a video like that before (not that I know). It's funny and adorable at the same time (@tongue). The thing that I love about their songs is the simplicity in their lyrics. It made me goes, "Wow, how can I not be thinking of that?" Lol
I can never find a way or the right things to say
I guess I just didn't know how

You see, the longer that we wait

The more damn things can change
I guess we'll have to spell it out
You're my E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G

Everywhere, everytime, everything
- Everything

Oh, my God, it's true
If time stood still I'd wait for you

If time stood still and still it stood I'd be with you
I just want to tell you, "I love you, I love you"
And everything gonna be okay someday soon

- Perfect company

Anyway, this band reminds me of Hellogoodbye though. Maybe because of their music or maybe because of Colin's voice, I don't know. The songs that I like so far is of course, Everything and also Perfect Company (if you like cute, romantic song then Perfect Company is perfect for you). For those of you who like Hellogoodbye, PlayRadioPlay! and the old stuff from Blink 182 (when Colin sings the chorus of Everything, he sounds a little bit like Tom DeLonge in some way), then you should give A Cursive Memory a try. Enjoy!

Update...and what's on my mind lately

Update:
Adding new widget: ClickComments where you can rate my posts. It's okay if you don't want to comment any, but rates will do, aiiight?? @lol

What's on my mind lately:
I'm a Sarawakian, a Mirian to be specific. Currently studying photography at UiTM Shah Alam. And currently thinking, "What can I contribute to my beloved hometown?" AND...here's a few 'things' that's been wandering on my mind:
a) I wanted to organize an art event, or exhibition maybe for art lovers there in Miri
b) Form my own production or group or whatever the name is (I can't think the correct word) but the job is to handle all the upcoming projects
c) Along with that, of course official clothing label! LOL

Actually, there's more, but I forgot already because there's too many stuff playing inside my little cute (let me hear you say, "LOL GILA PERASAN!") head and mind. So, I'll let you fellow Mirian know soon, kay?

p/s: if you fellow Mirian, interested with my dreams here do let me know if you want to get your hands dirty with me (does that sounds wrong? hmm). and if you happened to know a thing or two about what I've mentioned above, do let me know too cause I need lots of advices. Thanks in advance to each and everyone of you.

Till then,
cheers

Look what I've found in my closet

An old crappy poem book. And yes, that is my sekolah menengah punya buku latihan. Lol

Alone Again

Just when I thought that you're the one I need
You went away and I started to bleed

There it goes another misery
How can I solve this, it drives me crazy

I'm alone once again
You've left me and gave me pain
It sucks but I can't complain
I was born to be alone again

Wow...love does do crazy things huh? Here goes another one:

What If There's No Tomorrow

I've watched you from far away
Your smiles it warmed my days
But suddenly I'm in fear
And I don't feel so insecure

What if there's no tomorrow
Will you be hearing me say, 'I love you'?
What if there's no tomorrow
Will I be hearing you say, 'I love you too'?

You're like this stars that I can't reach
Each time I'm near you're fade away
Me and you there is a breach
Then all I do is hope and pray

But if there's tomorrow
Will you be the star that light my way
And if there's tomorrow
Will you turn my night into day

Then all I do is hope and pray
To wish tomorrow will come today

Haha the choices of words were silly and emm..corny, I guess. Well, whatever. I was young and stupid (and in love hah!) so, @tongue
