Arts & Lights: An Interactive Pop-Up Experience


last saturday, i went to a pop-up arts exhibition called Arts & Lights with a dear friend, Don at Icon City, PJ. i think it was held in conjunction with Mah Sing, a developer company to promote their buildings? its a free entrance but people who wanted to go in must register first at their website to secure a date.its still ongoing until christmas' eve so anyone wanting to go can still check it out.

i just got back from kenduri hence the baju kurung
but i can say the only reason anyone wanted to go is just to take pictures because each installation was only allowed around 3 minutes to snap pic around then they rushed you out like you have only moment to admire and the rest go snap snap until perfect lah. and the queue for each installation can be quite long.
at digi's wishing trees
personally the reason i went was because i wanna try out my new (second hand) camera i just bought from carousell and so far im loving the quality despite it being such an old version.except it doesnt work well in low light so in some installation i didnt take much pictures because the quality is so bad

this was inside planet of ventura but its too dark
an installation called galaxy of centura was kinda awesome because it contain large bouncy balls that change colours when you touch it
  

personal favourites: space party & aruna in the sky


the clouds are so fluffy i kid you not

party in the club? nah we got a space to attend
we went back around 9 so the garden was lights up with various lampu icity lol. and theres like two circle swing called moon swing which change colours every few seconds

im kinda in love with this camera's focus
who need mood swing when you can have moon swing

so thats all! sorry for the obnoxious watermark bc im kinda insecure with my face so must cover lol

letters to wanderers pt.1

i. purple
i remember the first time i met you, we werent close. we are part of different clique i guess. then fate made us the best of friend. but sometimes i feel inadequate compared to you. the hardworking, lovable, smart, and very ambitious one. i tried to emulate some of your good qualities then i realise im too lazy haha. and i realise i can never be you, but i can always be with you. theres many ups and downs in our friendship, which most of the time me snapping at you without reason. i always feel bad after but im too awkward to apologize and i always think what did i even do to deserve such good friend as you.

ii. blue
we met in 2000. and i dont know why we became friend? it just happened. you are always the tomboy one, i was the sweet one (lol). people said we are best friend. i like to think that we are. i remember you being so upset with you pmr result because everyone has high expectation for you. it must be hard for you at that time. but then you redeem yourself.you redeem it hard. you went to another school and came out as one of the top scorers in spm. i was so proud. then you went oversea for your studies and i miss you alot. its became tradition for us to exchange birthday gift each year ( i haven gotten you one this year yet my bad). one of my fave gift from you was the wooden alphabets you gave that spelled my name (and spelled correctly too!).

iii. red
i never felt love. until i met you.then you got married. lol.

iv. silver
one day i wish i can meet you face to face and say how much you meant to me. you inspired me to go through the day and counting my blessing to even be living. your hardships, everything that you went through, i cant even imagine what i would do if i was you. but you make it through and you showed that world you are not gonna crumble. and i admired you for that.

insight

growing up, travelling was never an option.
it feels strange back then to even think of flying.
the only time we got to go somewhere was when we are going back to my mom's or my dad's hometown.
all ten of us in our battered old van.
the van cannot accomodate us all,
so mom put some mattress on the leg room to make space for some of us
some day we are luckier, dad got posted somewhere for conference so we got to stay in a hotel
i remember going to melaka and staying at a hotel and was so fascinated that i can eat at a hotel. it was a luxury even thinking of going to one
or that one time we went to seremban and my brother and i went to a free concert at nearby lake.

then, my sister got married and her husband works at kelantan. one day she asked if we want to go there for a holiday with her, since her husband cannot bring her for a walk because of work. so my other sister and i went with her. that was the first time i experience the infamous long road trip to kelantan. funny thing was, we wanted to go back home by bus but my dad was worried so he paid for our flight, my first ever flight!

after school, my second time on a flight is our trip to langkawi. this was the first trip i went with my friends. and eversince then we always do one trip per year (except this year since every one is busy).

then come my first ever trip to overseas, melbourne! a trip where i save up for almost a year, cutting all my spending habits just so that i can finally finally go on a trip that i used to long to go when i was a kid (as a kid i was jealous when its school holiday and all my friends are going somewhere while i usually just stayed at home).

and this year i was blessed again with the opportunity to go to europe for 3 weeks. tbh i dont really have that much money and this time around i dont have that much time to save up so it was hard trying to spend as little as possible during the trip. but i was a good experience. i mourned the loss of my money but i gained a new insight of the world. where i realised, at the end of the day, despite how bad our country seems to be to other people, i feel that i will never not be proud to be this land's citizen.

warner bros studio tour london: the making of harry potter

may i slytherin? (yes the long overdue pun)
right outside the studio

some of the chess pieces

on 24th of january 2017, i was fortunate enough to finally finally visit a dream place of mine, the warner bros studio tour london! i cant believe i visited the wizarding world, the world i grew up with (my fave book is the prisoner of azkaban btw). almost all the original props from the movies are accumulated here and displayed. what makes it more interesting is how they explain the magic of this world, not that that makes it less magical.

it is important to note that you have to book the ticket in advance as they did not sell the ticket on the day of the visit (ticket price £37)  and you have to choose the time of visiting. me and balqis decided to take the 10:30 am ticket as we didnt want to have to come early as the journey take around two hours from my brother's house. and it is advised to spent around 5 hours in the studio because theres so much to see,even 5 hours didnt feel enough tbh we were there from 10:30 to around 3 o'clock.

before entering, they checked our bags. you can bring food if you want but theres also cafe at the back of the studio if you want to have lunch (the cafe is where you can buy the butterbeer too).bags can be put at the cloakroom for free. entering the lobby, the hedwig's theme was playing and the walls are decorated with potraits of some of the actors of the series. they even displayed the clothes of the fantastic beasts characters!

we were first ushered into a small cinema where they introduce us of how the idea of the studio began etc. then the screen was pulled up and voila, the door of the great hall appeared! i forgot to take photo of the opening of the great hall :(
