Butterfly Wishes

Yesterday a butterfly

Came floating gently through the sky.

He soared up through the atmosphere

Then drifted close enough to hear.

I said, "I'd love to fly with you

And sail around the way you do.

It looks like it would be such fun

To fly up toward the summer sun.

But I have not your graceful charm.

I haven't wings, just these two arms.

I've been designed to walk around.

My human feet must touch the ground.

Then magically he spoke to me

and told me what his wish would be.

He said, "What I'd love most to do

Is walk upon God's Earth with you,

To squish it's mud between my toes

Or touch my finger to my nose.

I'd love just once to walk around

With human feet to touch the ground,

But I have not two legs that swing,

I haven't arms, just these two wings."

And so we went our separate ways

In wonder and surprise.

For we'd both seen God's precious gifts

Through someone else's eyes.

Purple Rain”

I never meant to cause you any sorrow

I never meant to cause you any pain

I only wanted one time to see you laughing

I only wanted to see you laughing in the purple rain

I never wanted to be your weekend lover

I only wanted to be some kind of friend, hey

Baby, I could never steal you from another

It's such a shame our friendship had to end

Purple rain, purple rain

I only wanted to see you bathing in the purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain

I only wanted to see you underneath the purple rain

Honey, I know, I know, I know times are changin'

It's time we all reach out for something new, that means you too

You say you want a leader, but you can't seem to make up your mind

And I think you better close it and let me guide you to the purple rain

If you know what I'm singin' about up here, come on raise your hand

I only want to see you, only want to see you in the purple rain

“Memo"

I don't mind if you wanna stay,

With that smile upon your face,

Hang around for a little while,

Please don't drive away even for a mile.

I don't mind if you are far away

I’ll be waiting for you anyway,

Under the sky of sunshine o rain,

I know ‘m gonna be in your arms again.

Different continents,

Its not a thing.

Coz i know we’ll be okay.

Endless borders, countless days,

Our love will pave the way.

I’ll be your wall,

For you to lean on,

When you fall just try to hold on,

I’ll be back in your arms,

Together we’ll always be

for what may come.

"Kiss From A Rose"

There used to be a graying tower alone on the sea.

You became the light on the dark side of me.

Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill.

But did you know, That when it snows,

My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen.

Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray.

Ooh, The more I get of you, The stranger it feels, yeah.

And now that your rose is in bloom, 

A light hits the gloom on the gray.

There is so much a man can tell you, so much he can say.

You remain, My power, my pleasure, my pain, baby

To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny.

Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby?

I've been kissed by a rose

I've been kissed by a rose on the gray,

And if I should fall along the way.

Materialistic world. 

You are discussing about the posh restaurants down the road you went last night on your fancy sports car, those expensive art collection that you got from your trusted bidder, the so-called extravaganza travelling around the world where the butler will salute you upon entering their V.I.P lounges. You buy whatever money can throw you. 

Your child waking up to their nanny’s face, you and your wife going for a business trip and weekends in the meeting room, you can’t even remember when you last had your dinner with your parents. You are living a fast and busy life in the world of elite society. You laugh and you smile. 

But is that all that you have..? Where’s the love part? We don’t have to wait for the day emptiness gently pats our back and whispers - life without love is life n.o.t.h.i.n.g.

Hidden Memories

I packed you away 

In a little cardboard box

Hidden under my bed 

And you fit most perfectly

Just that way… Hidden from view.

…Yet always silently there…

I hid you-

You and your smiles,

Your gifts, and memories…

Everything about you.

Because I couldn’t take it…

I couldn’t take you anymore.

It hurt too much

So stay hidden In your cardboard box,

And perhaps you’ll fade…

…

Why kid myself?

I know you’re there…

I can feel your contents drawing me in

Drawing me closer to you.

But some memories haunt me-

Memories of you… Of ‘us’.

You rattle in your confined space

Singing in the night,

Pleading to me as I dream

To open you up, and look inside…

But I can’t do that… I won’t…

And slowly your song fades…

For there are other songs…

Other singers

Those who dream with me.

Meet Me in Summer?

This is what I look like today

And I'm trying not to pull out my hair

I'm trying hard to grow it

But I'm far too shy to show it back there

That's probably why I like wearing hats

There's no denying, I'm deferring the facts

Avoiding confrontation

Lacks tact in a situation

Behind every line is a lesson yet to learn

But if you ask me

The feeling that I'm feeling is overwhelming

And oh, it goes to show

I've so much to know

I wrote this for my prettiest friend

But while trying not to prove that I care

I was trying not to make all my moves in one motion 

And scare her away

She can't see she's making me crazy now

I don't believe she knows she's amazing how

She has me holding my breathe

So I'd never guess 

That I'm a none such unsuitable, 

Suitor for her?

And if you ask me

The feeling that I'm feeling is complimentary

And oh, it goes to show

The moral of the story is boy loves girl

And so on but the way that it unfolds 

Is yet to be told

I know that I should be brave

Even pretty can be seen by the blind

I know that I cannot wait until the day we finally learn 

How to find each other redefining open minds

And if you ask me

The feeling that I'm feeling is overjoyed

And it's golden, it goes to show then

The ending of this song should be left alone

And so on, 'cause the way it unfolds 

Is yet to be told

Definition : A hoax is a deliberately fabricated falsehood made to masquerade as truth. It is distinguishable from errors in observation or judgment.

I was down and sad about the news I saw and heard that day. The accusation, the allocation of blames and loyalty. Some I know it’s true but some is just too painful to ignore or to swallow. It hurts and scarred me.

Felt betrayed, annoyed and disgusted with what I heard, I poured all the anger, sadness, resentment and hatred on canvas. And the prose below best describes the event and what I felt at that particular moment. As for now, I let go and let God.

Kawan kah itu?

Kata, kata, kata dan kata lagi,

Mengatalah kau selagi kau boleh berkata-kata.

Tuduh, tuduh, tuduh dan tuduh lagi,

Jangan menuduh hingga dituduh pula.

Hina, hina, hina dan hina lagi,

Jangan menghina hingga dihina nanti.

Aku tahu hal kau, kau dan kau,

Bukan dari yang lain,

Bukan dari yang tak tahu,

Tapi dari kau, kau dan kau juga.

Dan yang sadisnya,

Aku juga tahu,

Bahawa kau, kau dan kau,

Berkata tentang aku.

Berdesas, berdesis,

Ke sana, ke sini,

Menjaja cerita,

Yang tak ternilai.

Kerana yang paling galak bercerita itu,

Paling ramai pengikutnya.

Mungkin bernilai sepotong janji,

Untuk tidak dikongsi dengan yang lain,

Mungkin bernilai kosong,

Untuk mengisi suasana hening,

Mungkin bernilai besar,

Untuk mendapat perhatian.

Yang pasti,

Yang di atas sana,

Lebih mengetahui nilainya,

Untuk kau, kau dan kau bayar suatu hari nanti,

Sama ada di sini – yang lebih cepat dan berat,

Atau pun di sana – yang aku pun tak pasti apa jumlah yang tepat!

"He That Believeth Shall Not Make Haste“

The aloes grow upon the sand,

The aloes thirst with parching heat;

Year after year they waiting stand,

Lonely and calm, and front the beat

Of desert winds; and still a sweet

And subtle voice thrills all their veins:

"Great patience wins; it still remains,

After a century of pains,

To you to bloom and be complete."

I grow upon a thorny waste;

Hot noontide lies on all the way,

And with its scorching breath makes haste

Each freshening dawn to burn and slay,

Yet patiently I bide and stay:

Knowing the secret of my fate,

The hour of bloom, dear God, I wait,

Come when it will, or soon or late,

A hundred years are but a day.

And this is tragic

You couldn't keep your hands to yourself

And somehow you left me neglected

We've found our lives been changed

Babe, you lost me

And we tried

Oh, how we cried

Oh, we lost ourselves

Oh, but you chose lust when you deceived me

And you'll regret it, but it's too late

How can I ever trust you again?

We forgot about love

We forgot about faith

We forgot about trust

We forgot about us

You said that you had said all that you had to say

You said baby it's the end of the day

And we gave a lot but it wasn't enough

We got so tired that we just gave up

We didn't respect it

We went and neglected it

We didn't deserve it

But I never expected this

Our love floated out the window

Our love floated out the back door

Our love floated up in the sky to heaven

It's part of a plan

It's back in God's hands

Back in God's hands

It didn't last

It's a thing of the past

Oh we didn't understand

Just what we had

Oh I want it back

Oh just what we had

Kubuka sepenuh pintu dayamu

Tapi kenapa kau hadir saja

dan meninggalkan kunci dan peta

kalau aku kau tak ingini

Kasih, siapa aku di sisimu

kini ku berada dalam taman mu

tiada aku takut akan kematian

kerana hidup dan mati sama untukku

telah kulalui, berulang kali

Keindahan taman mu tiada bermakna

jika wajahmu tidak kutemui

biar ku terlantar dimamah waktu

aku tetap akan menunggumu

Kasih, siapa aku di sisimu

ku pakukan kakiku ke tanahmu

biar berdarah menjadi sungai

agar tak bisa dicabut oleh sesiapa

With an additional of last layer of gold. This piece is done few days ago till I saw the status of the blog's owner wanted to go for her check up the next day - worrying... I know from what I've read - she's one of the survivor cancer patient. And tonight, my prayers goes to her for tomorrow and the day after and forever. Amin. The gold represent brighter day, hopes, joy, cheerful and prosperous to her. Insya-Allah.

Compare to other piece in Stupefy series, this has a different colours. Usually I will have Blue & Red wax for the dripping part. Gold has always be the base and the top finish. White or Black for the base wax. And yes, it's always about 'The Good & The Bad'. I wanted to do the same colour [ err, instead of blue and red - Green & Red ] but on bigger canvas until I received a message on my FB from Pumkinmummy Cupcakes on their new promotion. And their latest profile pix, really caught my attention. Not only they look slurpy and yummy but it gave me an inspiration to use a new colour but the same technique for my artwork.

And I've decided to use my new wax collection. Which have more choice of colours and of course smell. The brown that I used have pastry smell. For 2 days my whole house especially the living room smells like I've been baking the whole day. *nice!* So, enjoy! This piece is about to have or not to have all this sinful stuff. Err - I means sweet, sugar, chocolates and flour. Of course you can have them but not like me, always in big huge intake! *yeah*

* Psssttt... Check out Pumkinmummy's album. I think most of cupcakes photos I've seen are nice or interesting but this one - they're different, they look yummy and makes you drool!!! *wink* My special thanks to Ms Suliana Dzulkifli, keep up the good work Babe & will definitely grab few box of your cuppies one day. *insya-Allah*

Originally, this piece comes in 3 pcs. It's called Serenity IV but due to the rest of them had fall from my bedroom wall... And only this piece survived. I decided to repaint the rest and leave this one out and of course, let it go at the very best price!

So, first come first serve basis - the first one - Serenity V - the only piece that survived during that fall... I'm letting this go at RM500 only! It's a very fragile artwork I must warn you. The sand used for this piece won't stay at where it should be if drop. So, handle with care!

And as for this... I've added some more sand to closed the part that has broken and patch another layer with more leaf. The top part, of course - my signature - the wax work. I wants it to have the water/wave effect. Looking forward to edit the 3rd piece. Soon...

I never want to lose what I have finally found

There's a requiem

A new congregation

And it's telling me go forward and walk

Under a brighter sky

Every nerve glowing like a firefly

Glow, Glow, Divine

Every nerve like a firefly, glowing

Every nerve like a firefly, glow

ESSENCE

mix media on canvas
16" x 39" x 2pcs

artwork submitted for Open Art Exhibition Pesta Pulau Pinang 2009
Theme "A Sense of Flavors"
to exhibit at Penang State Art Gallery.


-------------------------------------------------------------------

Food for Thought... the colours.

For me, Penang is a food paradise, among others. I love Penang food, its essences and aroma, thus the birth of Essence I. The background with curves represents the pipping steaming hot delicious dishes available in Penang. It is also represents the various mouth-watering gravies.

The Silver and Gold, represent the rich history Penang is blessed with, including the dishes available that are from various cultures and ethnicity. The spices pasted on the piece is an authenticity of Penang herself. The history of spice is almost as old as human civilization.

It is a history of lands discovered, empires built and brought down, wars won and lost, treaties signed and flouted, flavours sought and offered, and the rise and fall of different religious practices and beliefs. Spices were among the most valuable items of trade in ancient and medieval time and Penang herself has the most interesting story to tell. There is no single sense that defines flavour - although we perceive the flavour of food in our mouths, it is our brains that determine flavour.

My brains (or mind) translates the colour red as a stimulant. Red is the hottest of the warm colours. So in Essence I, I used Red, Orange and Yellow. Yellow is a colour that gets attention and is overpowering. While Orange is vibrant and is also known as an appetite stimulant. The combination of red and yellow and orange used in Essence I, denotes energy, warmth, and the sun- exactly how all the delicious food and its aroma in Penang stimulates me.

While in Essence II, I used Green, Brown and Yellow.

All the colours used is my way of describing Penang Island that is also known as the Pearl of the Orient and heaven for food lovers, who come from all over the world. Penang's cuisine reflects the Chinese, Malay and Indian ethnic mix of Malaysia!

Sparkling grey,

They're my own veins.

Any more than a whisper,

Any sudden movement of my heart.

And I know, I know I'll have to watch them pass away

Just get through this day

Give up your way, you could be anything,

Give up my way, and lose myself, not today

That's too much guilt to pay

Sickened in the sun

You dare tell me you love me

But you held me down and screamed you wanted me to die

Honey you know, you know I'd never hurt you that way

You're just so pretty in your pain

Give up my way, and I could be anything

I'll make my own way

Without your senseless hate... hate... hate... hate.

So run, run, run

And hate me, if it feels good.

I can't hear your screams anymore

You lied to me

But I'm older now

And I'm not buying baby

Demanding my response

Don't bother breaking the door down

I found my way out

And you'll never hurt me again.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Currently 10 years into the millennium, the world is now at a super fast pace, everything is evolving per millisecond including Maybank and its services.

With its online services everything can be done within a click thus the two triangle on my piece symbolizes 'the-fast-forward' button.

While we are chasing to be at the top, yet we must remember the past that brought us to the future.

Trough the black and gold the background, I attempted captured the qualities of the majestic Malayan tiger as per the theme reflections of Strength, Vigour and Elegance.

The Red in the piece means Stop or rather - We should stop all the killings! There are fewer than 5,000 wild tigers in the world and only about 500 are left in Malaysia, a sharp decline from an estimated 3,000 in the 1950s.

The Green is a sign for Go! Or Lets start going green to save the forest. We should now recycle, reuse and reduce!

The dripping black wax with gold base represents the tears due to pollution that sooner or later will destroy our ancient treasures, the air, water and earth, if we do not act now!

This technique, the texture and the colour combination somehow really caught everyone's attention. I've sold the first piece in this series in 2009 and this year, I sold another piece during a Exclusive High Tea event in The Royal Bintang Plaza. Honestly, I loves doing this artwork too. It's simple but not as simple as everyone thought.

I can finish this piece real fast if I'm in a very relax mood. Not in the hurry as it will take lots of time to wait for the wax to melt and drip... Sometimes, when I have too much on my mind - this is a very good relaxing session for me. While waiting for the wax to drip, I can really put my thought on the matters that I have to handle. And oh yes! it's a good sauna session too! Hahhahahah. As you can't on any fan or air-condition to do this. Somehow, it's hard. So yes, lets burn some fat by dripping the wax on those canvases! *wink*

Oh ya, it's the new size of canvas You like it? I do!!! This piece is about me imagining looking in the mirror and this is the reflection I saw... The good, the bad, the thick and thin through life!

My new client told me that she find my art very dark but her husband, who I know for many years now said he loves my artwork cuz he can relate to it. Yeah, unlike now - he's not happy before. Now, he's the luckiest and the most happy man on earth! Her exact word was 'Melancholic'. And most people I know said my art very dark! Hmmm, I don't deny that cuz that is the excellent time to paint. As painting is my outlet to express my feelings. But lately, I don't paint much as I'm in a very calm and happy situation. Plus busy running around meeting datelines and delivering all my ID job and art competition. Alhamdulillah. I'm a happy girl now...

I bought few round canvases that I saw in the art shop the other day. No idea what to paint or how to paint yet but I know, I'm going to produce some artwork for below RM300 series for few coming occasion. I even bought myself lots of art paint marker to play with. While toying with some ideas, sketching and scribbling... I got an idea!

This piece was inspired by the big giant round LollyPop Candy that I saw in my fridge. A birthday present from Evy & Fairy for last 2 years! *Ahakz* Yes, I still don't have heart to eat them yet. Plus it's a nice deco for my internal fridge shelves! So, maybe it's going to be out from my fridge soon and before I do that - let's try my new Paint Markers on my new shape round canvases!

I'm high on happiness,
From full dosage of love,
May this feelings,
Remains forever.

My Candy Eyes,
Thank you for everything...
