Paintings

Well this picture shows that life goes on so fast a moment where the sun rises, and the next minute, it will set. Just like how I meet new friends in 1 Bestari and it has already been 5 years and we are going our seperate ways now. The trees show our togethenerness eventhough we are of different character and the different colors how my friends have colored my life and the darkness show that since they are leaving, my friends are taking the colors in my life too. Title: Farewell Happy Life , Medium : Oil Paint , Dedicated to Shaz & Nash

This painting is full of bright colors because it shows I was happy at the moment with lots of agenda in my life because of my friends. My friends were symbolised by the elements the trees, stones, grass, sky and river. The smoothness of our friendship could be seen through the flow of the waterflow. Although we are different but it seems we are harmonical. Everything seemed so bright because I had no worries but there are less details or rather blur details because I knew the joy picture is going to fade away soon. Every single moment is going to pass by. I could see that before others could. Title : What You've Given Me, Medium: Oil Paint

This painting is definitely one of my favourite. This was a picture which recorded only happy moments(bright lightings). Everything is bright and joyful.Everything was smooth (water). Life was my playground (the space).I was a happy teen with my friends(flowers blooming among leaves). Of course there were anger moments(red) but it wasn't a big deal. There are many details in this picture because I could remember evry single memory in the past and present and I didn't have any feelings that it was going away. Title : Beautiful Sight of Life, Medium: Oil Paint

Blue Mood. That is all I can say. Ironic right? There's a city filled with modern lights and skyscrappers and yet it is empty because there is no mankind to enjoy it. The leaves die because there is nothing to be cherished. Symbolises me when I am away from my friends, seems bright, loud, happy and merry just like the city but empty inside being drowned by the materialistic world when I am too busy making money and leave behind important values in life. Title : Lonely Town, Medium: Oil Paint

The most boring picture ever! Even when I painted them it was boring. Still life. Expression: Hmm, colourful fruits seems beautiful and shiny but we will never know if it is rotten or fake inside. Just like most teens, who are beauty-conscious but totally ugly inside. The background shows that at the end of the day, we know these are not good fruits, not good people because when they have been to the environment. Title : Plastic Picture, Medium : Oil Paint

I was sick when I did this ......... I was in and out of the hospital . The snow showed how boring my life was at that moment. It was dull. I was sad I couldnt be with my friends, thus the trees are there but there are no leaves. My colorful life turned white. My glory days were gone as the snow covered my shiny life. But I still didn't give up. My spirit was there : the red little house. Title : Gloomy Period, Medium : Watercolor, Time: June 2009

Do you realise how the ugly old house looks classic and nice covered by the flowers. Everything can be changed and hidden. Even ugly attitudes. We can always change in life. It takes a little effort to brighten up your life. I am not beautiful but  I am very popular maybe beacuse of my skills and attitudes. The only thing is, don't fake. Be natural. That's why the flowers aren't kept neatly or being trimmed. They grow freely as they want to. That is how you groom yourself to be happy. Title : Hidden Ugliness, Medium: Watercolor

Seems peaceful huh? But a lot of things are going on in here. The use of orange and yellow symbolises how people actively and happily create rumors to make themselves feel better. It's a beautiful scenery and yet, what is dominant are the dark trees. It shows in life , even in we are good , the rumors people make causes us to be remembered for our dark side. Look how the bright sky is being blocked by the dominant dark mountains and trees. Life is not that harmonious after all. The paddy should have been green but its yellow, why? Dried up due to negative energies.Title : Harmony Rumors, Medium : Watercolor

Life is complex, nature itself explains that.  Things could go wrongly as in the picture because in chasing materials, we will loose values, love and consideration. At the end of the day, our beauty is being sucked out of us..That is how fauvism works in the picture, much purple lol :) Title : Negative Complexity , Medium : Watercolor

Now, this painting shows the balance in life. Yes, life is complex just like nature. How the stones block the water. How opportunity is being stolen just as the trees loses their leaves, life is full of obstacles just like the rocky ground but life can be a fun ride. That is why, there are bright colors in the picture. Life has thorns but it doesnt play a major role if we know how to balance our materialistic world with good values. That is why we cannot really see the thorny bushes. Title : Positive Complexity , Medium : Watercolor

Eventhough the sea seems scary and big and wide but it is not so strong after all. That is how life is. People at time act as they own the world and being tough and all, but when it comes to action, they are not when they appear to be. Rocks maybe ugly and smaller than see but they are stronger. Boasters talk a lot but cannot walk the talk just like how the sea makes scary noise with its waves. Title : Hit Me But I'll Stay Strong , Medium : Watercolor

Life is cool and still beautiful when it is kept simple. Ironic huh? Title : My Heaven

Title : I have seen Miracles

Life is a blurry road. i have continue, but I dont know where am I going or what I have to face on the road but I know that my friends and family will help me go through life.

Title: Journey Road

Title : Peaceful and Colorful State of Mind

We become more creative when we can visualise what is beyond impossible. This was when I was happy as a kid. No worries. No problems. Just big dreams and wonderful environment. Title : My Wonderland

  Title : Aquaria. This was my SPM Paper. A+ I think that is it for now. I will add more paintings in the future. :)

                                                                                                                                                                                              

Farewell Beloved Shaz & Nash

Today is Sunday, today is 16.5.2010. Today is the day I said goodbye to my most beloved two rocking dudes!

7 AM- I woke up and fed the birds. And then cooked nuggets and hotdogs for our picnic at Shaz's house.

9 AM- Took a bath, dressed up and then went back to sleep.......

12 NOON- Woke up and bath again! Lols. Then dressed up and packed things before going to Shaz's house. Then mummy said :" Hun, I don't think what you have cooked are enough for the children, Kesian, nanti they will starve. I think I should buy a barrel of fried chickens for the kids." It's up to you mummy, your money, hehe.

1PM - Went to KFC. Bought the chickens.....and then Nash texted me. "Azre, Shaz asks us to gather at Jaya Jusco first then only go to his house together" What the hell? I dislike last minute changes.

2PM - There I was at the central of the busy foodcourt of Alpha Angle Mall. And two minutes later, yeah! Nash arrived and then mummy congragulated him for his success in getting a job before she left us. Then, Nash and me went shopping in the market so that he could bring something for the picnic. Guess what? A cake and also- snacks. On the cake there was : Farewell! Love you always..... Then , arrived, Ilham ( Shaz's beloved brother), Iffah, Danica, Badrul and Shikin. We marched together to Shaz's house.

2.45PM - There, Zuhaili and Ain were waiting for us. Then we took our spot , only 10 minutes before Shaz's parents came down with his cute lil sister, Wawa and invited us to go up and hang out in Shaz's house as they were going out. We were actually expecting for Shaz to join us down here but since he really insisted us to go up, so we did.

3PM- Finally, in Shaz's house. We arranged the foods and beverages. Soon, my stomache made noises because I didnt eat breakfast or lunch yet. Guys, lets eat! Lets eat! I was shouting like a child.....And so we started eating and talked and chat about several things. What I remembered the most was Shaz commented on my journal- he said its very good because I wrote about Chemistry and Physics lols.:) We chat and watched the past debate videos ..Omg, it was funny.

6 PM- It was about to rain. OOPS it did! So it was a signal we had to go. Omg..time to say Goodbye? Oh not yet.Picture time! From the third floor to the basement we made a lot of noise, and finally at the basement. There was it, a surprise for Shaz.Waterfight time! Funny and fun. But again, I didnt get wet hehe.. I am a smartypant lols..I am totally gonna miss this moment...

6.15PM- They are gonna march home. Nash waved me goodbye. Omg, he going to leave! I miss u crazy brother. I will always miss your sarcastic words, weird teasings and loud fartings and stupid jokes which I dont understand, but I still love you. Dont forget me when I am gone....

6.30PM- Went up to Shaz's house with Shaz anbd packed my things. I gave him goodbye wishes. Owwh how I wish we could all still be together. Crazy but happy! I am really gonna miss him ..I can't believe he's leaving.

6.45PM- Mom arrived to pick me up.. I said goodbye to Shaz and left. I am going to miss you buddy! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS!

Nature's Call

I just said goodbye to dear Danica on Yahoo Messenger because I was so tired and decided to sleep. And then my mummy woke up from bed and she asked me to accompany her to have tea. While we were having tea, suddenly our maid ran to us and asked us come out and see something....

Nervousity ended when I saw two little creatures left on one of the plants..I mean they were literally abandoned among the plants in my garden! I waited like an hour for its mom to come back but no....she didn't....so my mother decided that I should keep and look after those two adorable creatures....

Oh my I cried looking at them in hunger...So went to the nearest pet stores to get the food ..Set up its place to live and tadaa..I am a mother now! To two lil birds!

Saturday 15.5.2010

Usually my Saturday is like packed but this time, no :(

Why?

Mummy is sick. She knocked my door at 6 am  lookiing as wful as ever. She said major headache....and she vomitted twice...Oh my, I wanted to drive her to any emergency clinic but she preferred to sleep, so I let her.
So, there goes RM 60 . I paid RM 360 this month for French and I have to miss it. Too bad..And exam is like around the corner on 13 June. Delf A1. I have to do a lot of self-study..but it's cool babe..anything for mummy. And btw, Mr Daniel, my french teacher is so high tech so he sent all the audio files,notes and homework via email so that I won't be left behind. So, I guess I can still cope up. Wish me Bon Chance!

So after learning french, I decided gee why not learn a bit of English..it's rottening day by day because I am not in school yet..Oh my God, there this one time I forgot what splunderous meant. How was that ever possible....

Next, I decided why not make the blog look interesting a bit before adding new posts and that was what I did!

After 3 hours in front of the screen ....I decided to play around with Barney! I know that's so childish and stupid but I didn't know what to do..I like the way Barney says I LOVE YOU when we press his tummy and he's so hugabble. By the way later I am going to talk about my personal collection of art works.... For now, bon voyage!

An Artist For A Week.

I was calculating and interpreting a clients life graph and suddenly the phone rung. " Hey Azre, Recognize me?" Oh my God, I already graduated from high school and this was my headmistress who called me to come to school to see her and I wondered why. But I made an appointment to do so on next Monday.



Objective : My school is in a Lestari Competition so the environment had to be super friendly with environment. I was asked to contribute an oil paint masterpiece on a wall section. Oh my God, it would be my biggest artwork I think so far...luckily the materials were provided by my teacher, Mr Halim Yaacob.



So guess what? 3 Days the painting was done but due to framing and final touch up it was 5 days in school from 7 am- 5pm ..no break....like a real artist. It seemed as if as I was trapped in the art studio.Luckily two of my buddies, Nash and Zuhaili were there to buy me lunch! Or else I could have starved especially with the smell of thinner...



At first, I didnt know where to start, the plywood was so big.....and wide....and then Mr H gave me superb guidelines..and so I thought...lets do something which is loud and fun..unrealistic but beautiful. Imagine savanah, tropical monsoon, rainforest and icy mountain on the same longitude and latitude with a sunset skyline. Hot colors and bright ones....

First day - We painted the plywood with white paint and let it dry.3 hours spent to figure out whats the theme and I sketched my idea on two pieces of paper before Danica sketched on the plywood. She was a great sketcher! Meanwhile, me and Nash started painting the first layer of skyline....Man, i could see Nash's stress of getting a job were lessen when he learnt to mix and blend colors and paint....I literally gave free oil paint class to my friends so that they could help me lol - outside its RM 200 a month babe! Too bad by the time Danica finish sketching, she had to leave..I know she really wanted to paint....Nash went for Friday prayer and I was left alone in the studio and I tried to finish the first layer of the first section of the plywood. My hands were cracking because the brushes were small and my face started to grow pimples as I am sensitive to the turpentine and thinner..my...my....went back home...satisfied but smelly! and my clothes oh my God.......like a homeless kid.

Second day- Well I came at 7 and finished the second layer of the first section of plywood. Mr Halim wasn't at school so the srt studio was like my studio.....Played mp3 songs out loud from my phone and sand and painted happily... At about 9.30 dear Danica came and helped me paint the first layer of the second section of the plywood...I thought her about the Impasto Technique and how to mix the colors....She was a quick learner. Danica seems to be having so much fun learning and we sang and danced crazily. And she had a crazy thing for Body Language song from Jesse Mc.We also talked something about the past. I was so happy to see her smile and being herself, and I had to give her a lot of motivation as she worried about so many things lol.and my lunch...came late at about 2...why? Nash came with his twin, Zuhaili.. Surprisingly, they came bringimng laptops..Hello, to the art room? Lols...So Nashriq wasn't really there to help? Lols I am confused. By the end of the day, at 5 pm part 1 settled part 2 only first layer.


Third day- I was early as usual, had to touch up most parts of the painting as Nash wasn't actually a pro but he did gave a lot of help and Danica's painting was quite alright but it still needed a lil bit touch up here and there before I continue to the following layer. Yes, oil paint has many layers, you have no idea!Hmm....then at 9 Nabil came and he helped me out....at abot 10 30 Danica came and helped me to finish the art masterpiece. Well Nash? He didnt turn up lol...Cause? Stuck with my buddy Shaz.....Hehe...The masterpiece was done but needed more touch up.

Fourth day- Danica couldnt come but Nash was there with Zuhaili. I did the final touch up and at about 11 am, Mrs Ruhana, my teacher, brought me to a frame shop to buy the frame (loose ones). Oh my God...the painting was so wide that the frame couldnt fit in the car...I think about 50 cm of wood were out of the window as teacher drove....At 2pm, she gave us "painters" a treat for luch at Johnnys. At 5 30, I brought my mom into the art studio to look at the painting.. She was happy and gave me a greenlight to turn up the next day to frame up the art piece and do any last touch up...She also invited Nash and Zuhaili for dinner. What was funny was that she forced Nash to speak English and he refused. At the end of the day, dear Nash had a lecture from my mom lols....



Final Day - The art piece was framed , drilled to the wall and I finished the final touch up. I signed the art masterpiece. I feltso satisfied when evrything was finished... I think I had a lot of fun managing and doing the whole thing because I was free to express myself and Mr Halim really gave positive and constructive criticism and advises on developing my skills. I liked that he's really cool, open and positive-thinking. It was an awesome experience. Thanks to evryone involved!
