#9 Picture Story : Just Another Random Day

-



I was just driving home from work and it was almost dawn. Just another random day. You know how sunsets can be very breath-taking right? That's how I saw it that day at that particular time.

The traffic was rather slow-moving too. So I figured why don't I take an advantage of this moment while it is slow-pacing? I grabbed my phone that I placed on the seat right next to me, ran its camera and clicked a couple of few times.

As you may know it, it is challenging to take photos while the car is moving and let alone if you're  driving it. I had to see the road through the lenses and it seemed as the car in front of me was still far away, but then when I removed the lenses from my sight it was actually quite close. For a minute I thought I might hit someone's car but thank God I didn't. 

I had to alternately switched between my real eyes and the camera's eyes for a while to reach to the result that I desired. Well after struggling a little with life and death *exaggerating*, I finally came to a photo that I talked to myself this is the one then I stopped clicking.

When I arrived home, I can't help myself but ran two of my favorite editing apps; Adobe Lightroom and VSCO. Gave the picture some of my magic touches and it was ready to go. Go where though? Ready to go on my Instagram of course ;)

I hope you can resonate with the photo the same way how I resonated with the view while I was in the moment. You gotta have that artistic eyes though to pay enough attention to the details take made the shot. 

Till the next wonder of the world!

#2 Song Moment : Always Almost by Rosie Darling

She is probably the epitome of an angelic voice. Of course I'm no expert in describing nor judging how a great voice should sound like, but at least this is what I think of her voice. That one late afternoon, after performing Solat Asar at my office musolla, I conveniently used my Google Assistant to help me find the song I wanted to hear. At that particular time, it was 8 Letters by Why Don't We.  While my ears were enjoying every bit of the beat, I put my hijab on and secured it with pins wherever necessary. At the end of the song, one of my colleagues entered to perform her obligatory prayer as well.  As she gradually approaching to wearing her praying clothes, I double tapped on the phone screen and clicked the pause button to give her the solitary moment with the Creator. When she finished, we had a brief conversation as she was preparing to dress her head back on with the hijab. She left and I stayed in there for a while.  I reached for my phone again and tapped on the pl

#11 Picture Story - Cloudy but Pretty

  Isn't this stunning? Even my eyes agreed the first time they looked at it. Those rocks and chalets reallyaccentuated this shot. As a matter of fact, they are the culprits of why I wanted to give this a capture. It was cloudy and in fact it rained most of the time I was there, but that didn't take away the gorgeousness. I was actually on a vacation with the big family on my mom's side. We rarely get together and this trip was the first after Covid-19 restrictions in my country. The hotel stay was absolutely not something to be proud of as the hotel condition is quite bad. The maintenance obviously doesn't play much roles there.  I guess not too many people have visited the place and decided to stay, hence not so much money have been flowing which resulted in poor maintenance. Despite not having great preservation, picturesque spots are everywhere and the above shot is among the many. I was actually pretty amazed to realize that albeit beaches are not really my thing. E

#8 Picture Story : Children by the Beach

So this is at Pantai Nelayan, Rompin, Johor. We had a 3D2N stay to attend my girl cousin's wedding on the groom side. Since we are all from Selangor, so of course we needed a place to stay and because Rompin is quite far away from where we live (by us I mean my family and the relatives ) Facing this view is the chalet where we stayed. There are couple of gazebos too by this beach where he had our dinner and barbecue that night, on the same day we arrived. This photo was captured on the second day during midday. We had our breakfast at the gazebo that morning and some karaoke session afterward. Then I saw these kids standing on the swing and my artsy eyes had seen this great photo coming with the beach and the stunning clouds as the background and not leaving it behind, the tree wigs. I knew I had to frame everything in.  As you know candid photos are always the best so I thought it was the right time to lock this view in my phone's lense and boom! there ya go. I can't be ha
