L-R : Han Ghazi, MN, Matt Marzuki, Ibah
I’ve been planning my life the past few months that it drains me out a little bit. Spent a lot of time resolving a few issues. Wheww, looking at my cards I’m pretty scared to realize that there’s actually a lot of things to be done, to be accomplish, to be enjoyed before I hit the big three-oh.
It has been a slow but tough ride for me. There are quite a handful of great opportunities laid at my feet that sometimes I am totally clueless of which to pick. I missed to join the Singapore International Photography Festival due to lack of time to which i'm a bit frustrated of.
Saturday, finally managed to put my energy into good use. MN, Han, Matt and I headed to Kuala Kubu Bharu for some street shooting. It felt good walking around the quiet town once again, greeting folks in between cursing my camera. I kept forgetting to check the white balance and for a minute, I thought I’ve lost the ability to remember anything. After slurping some chendol we headed to Han family’s farm not far from the pekan.
It’s huuuugeeee. Twas pretty adventurous getting there and we were greeted by three fierce dogs barking at us like mad. They were the big farm’s guardians, mind you. Had fun sightseeing around the ranch. Felt like a kid again feeding the goats and hopping on the tractor with MN who thinks that he’s a tractor driver.
Sunday, I got my ‘thang’ planned out well for MN’s advance birthday celebration. I felt totally overwhelmed with my own table setting. Uhuu. Here’s what I did for the simple, modern English table setting at the park:
1- blue table cloth (disposable)
2- white table runner
3- matching English-looking plates and cups (also disposable)
4- white lilies matched with orchids for the centrepiece
And as for the food, I served tea, tarts, cookies and cuppycakes and special Belgian chocolates added as a gift. I forgot the rose petals, sadly.
Han called in to invite us for dinner, as she wanted to cook the ikan talapia she bought from the farm. Still very much in my ‘party-planner-with-david tutera’ mood, I offered to do her dinner table and bring in dessert. MN did the napkin while I got the candles and potpourri ready. My goodness, the dinner was superb! It was just a simple meal for four but boy, that fish sure taste great! Sedapnya Han masak! By the time dinner is finished, Lyanna was mad (but happy) for having us stuffing her tummy good!
Thank you, Han!
My little time-lapse work for 24 KL Long Photos - A KLickr project would be showcasing in the Urbanscapes on Saturday. Something to brag about? Not really, i still am sad about the SIPF thingy. LOL. But the rest of the KLickr members had done a grrreat job for the project! Big round applause for everyone! Yayyy!
