Thanks to Herny for the love, inspiration and support!

Infatuation is my first experience using wax on canvass. Found this box full of flowery-scented candles in various colours. Candles are supposed to be lit but somehow it ended up on my canvass. The candles were my 2004 birthday gift from an ex colleague named Liza from Laura Ashley. Those close to me, knows I love candles. Candles in any form, colour or even scent, just works for me.

My DADDYKINS says - I am saving the electricity bill by lighting candles and my bro adds salt to the wound by sarcastically asking – “there’s no electricity supply today?”

Never imagined, that one fine day I would actually use my favourite collective items on my passion. Surprisingly splashing wax onto the canvass gives me a splendid release.

Let’s, just hope Liza does not mind me literally burning the candles down, anyways thanks Liza!.

full of joy, lots of love, fills with laughter and bla bla bla…

the September 11, 2001 attacks (often referred to as 9/11—pronounced "nine eleven") consisted of a series of coordinated terrorist suicide attacks on September 11, 2001. The victims were predominantly civilians.

on the morning of September 11, 2001, nineteen terrorists affiliated with al-Qaeda hijacked four commercial passenger jet airliners. Each team of hijackers included a trained pilot. The hijackers crashed two of the airliners (United Airlines Flight 175 and American Airlines Flight 11) into the World Trade Center in New York City, one plane into each tower (1 WTC and 2 WTC), resulting in the collapse of both buildings soon afterward. A nearby church and the rest of the World Trade Center complex's seven buildings were also destroyed or damaged beyond repair. A third airliner (American Airlines Flight 77) was crashed into the Pentagon in Arlington County, Virginia.

Passengers and members of the flight crew on the fourth aircraft (United Airlines Flight 93) attempted to retake control of their plane from the hijackers; that plane crashed into a field near the town of Shanks Ville in rural Somerset County, Pennsylvania. In addition to the 19 hijackers, 2,973 people died; another 24 are missing and presumed dead.

… oh God! that was 5 years back!!!

"Labyrinth is an intricate combination of paths or passages that makes it difficult to find your way out, like a maze. In life, we often lose our way, but it’s essential that we come back and face the right routes. A maze is a complicated tortuous arrangement but some seek it for the fun and adventure, so relating it to life, it is important that we structure interconnecting passages to reach out for our destiny."

LISSOM

I’ve found ‘LISSOM’ while flipping through my dictionary looking for another word’s meaning in the story book that I’m trying to finish by end of the month.

‘LISSOM’ caught my eyes. As I read and try to understand the meaning which is “pantas; tangkas dan lemah gemalai” or “attractively thin and able to move quickly and gracefully”, my imagination runs wild and these images crossed my mind.

Pure as water

Purple People by Tori Amos

well hey do you do Judo when they surround you

a little mental yoga will they disappear

it's grim but never dubious as motives go

one thing she'll always promises

promises is a show

thunder wishes it could be the Snow

wishes it could be as loved as she can be

these gifts are here

for her, for you, for me.

I watch me be this other thing and never know

if I'm marooned or where the purple people go

then lily white matricide from vicious words

it doesn't leave a scratch

so therefore no one's hurt

and don't you know the nurses make it clear

just when you've escape you have yourself to fear

a restaurant that never has to close

breakfast, every hour

it could save the world

so hey do you do Judo in your finery

an angel's face is tricky to wear constantly

thunder wishes it could be the Snow

whishes it could be as loved as she can be

these gifts are here

for her, for you, for me.

For her, for her...

PRECIOUS

touch her, hold her, and caress her

kiss her, hug her, and love her

talk to her, listen to her and share with her

dine with her, dance with her

cuz she’s everything a person need

… but nothing last forever!

I see the ocean under the sun

I hear weaves that comes rolling in

I sail into that big sky

I rip on the wind

I watch mild birds sweep and glide

I forget about the time

I linger just a little more, drifting on the foreign shore

I spend my nights, waiting out the tides

FALLEN I

Fallen by Sarah McLachlan

heaven bent to take my hand and lead me through the fire

be the long awaited answer to a long and painful fight

truth be told I've tried my best

but somewhere along the way

I got caught up in all there was to offer

and the cost was so much more than I could bear

though I've tried, I've fallen...

I have sunk so low

I have messed up

better I should know

so don't come round here

and tell me I told you so...

we all begin with good intent

love was raw and young

we believed that we could change ourselves

the past could be undone

but we carry on our backs the burden

time always reveals

the lonely light of morning

the wound that would not heal

it's the bitter taste of losing everything

that I have held so dear.

I've fallen...

I have sunk so low

I have messed up

better I should know

so don't come round here

and tell me I told you so...

heaven bent to take my hand

nowhere left to turn

I'm lost to those I thought were friends

to everyone I know

oh they turned their heads embarrassed

pretend that they don't see

but it's one missed step

you'll slip before you know it

and there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed

And of course, RETRO is back in this era!

So, it’s my imperfection… my learning experience!

sleepless night again

in one of the darkest room

stuffed with sadness, regrets, pain and anger

feelings miserable, melancholy

… and helpless

absence is unfair

nothing can ever replace what I miss

its certainty deceiving

cause love has fooled me

… once again

she hurt me till I’m bleeding

she locked me away

and she said goodbye

… and fly away

oh well!

there’s a light at the end of the tunnel

… I heard

so I …

set my heart stone cold

wake up, get back in control

get a grip and begin the trip.
