In early 2009, I sold 6 pcs to HRH Sultan & Sulatanah Pahang's resident along jalan U-Thant. And one of the sold pieces is STUPEFY I. That was among few artwork that I've started experimenting using candles or wax on my canvases. And now, I have managed to improved the way to handle them, hope to create more stroke from it! *wink* And this few week I have been playing with lots of colours of wax that I bought from Ikea and few other place. And guess what, I love the effect and of course the smell!!!

This piece particularly, was inspired by this song sung by a Malaysian group called XPDC many years ago. While listening to this song, I have an image of a reflection of my previously failed relationship but I've got through it and it has ended recently. I'm glad it was over and I cherish all the good memories together. The bad ones? May it won't happen again in the future. Insya-Allah =) So, enjoy!

Di telan pahit, hendak ku buang terasa sayang
Engkau bermadu, hendak ku minum engkau beracun
Kau bisa hingga punah-ranah dan mati akan diriku
Kau kebumikanlah aku di sini

Kau serang hendap cinta yang berbunga di hatiku
Berikan racun pada aku yang sedang dahaga
Cintamu membakar aku hingga jadi abu
Bergunakah aku lagi untukmu

Dewasalah aku dalam perjalanan hari ini
Binasalah aku, andai dikudakan telunjukmu
