Summer Visits!

2010-08-15T09:51:00.009+08:00

Ohkay! So on 10th July - 18th July my.... ~~paternal~~ ~~malaysia~~ father's side of the family came! (:

Of course, for their yearly visits to Singapore/Malaysia from Oman to see our relatives/ME.

Okay so there wasn't much catching up to do cause of MSN convos me and bapak have everyday while I was at work, albeit short and boring sometimes. Still, its the littlest things that matter (:

Anyway of course I've been training my 3 little sisters to be cam~~whores~~ ~~sluts~~ frenzies in a way unimaginable to mankind. THEY ARE SO CUTE. Haha and of course the annoyance and irritating factor increases while my patience thins exponentially. But! Pictures so cute.

So here, went over to Abah's house to visit him and have a kenduri of sorts!

SEE EVEN FIRST PHOTO MANIS SO PRETTY SO CUTE ITS NOT FAIR ):

In green is my cousin Farhanis(16), firstly with Faris (5) and Cinta(7),
We made the boys Faris, and Sufi(7) wear hairbands xD

me and manis. I have been defeated in the tournament for Cutest Sibling. sigh ): my hair was horribly defiant and dry that day. :|

It was my eldest Aunt's birthday coming soon I think, but her friend made a cake out of PULUT (sticky rice), yes your baking skills have just appeared mediocre. Didn't taste it though!

Farhana pops in! (:

GIVE ME YOUR UGLIEST FACE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
cause "Smile!" is sooooo 2005.

DAD IZ TOO COOL FOR UGLY.

weeeerrrdd..

oh the flash was horrible i tell you. @.@

OKAY THE REAL CUTE-SASSINATION OF MY LITTLE SISTERS BEGINS:
we went to Science Discovery Centre for the waterpark. note to self: don't go there JUST for the waterpark next time. Kids evaluation: BOH-RING.

CINTA MURNI, 7, LEVEL OF ANNOYANCE INCREASED.

MANJA AYU, 6, SNORLEX FACTOR UP 2 NOTCHES.

MANIS BAIDURI, 5, PRINCESS DONTMESSWITHMYCUTENESS.

*cue top model runway music*

OK THIS ONE MAYBE NSFW.
BUT NOWWW, FOR THE SWIMSUIT COMPETITION........................

SHMEXY MANJA! :D

ok good try Cinta!

TONED ARMS. HER ARMS ARE TONED. FOR REAL. FURRREAAALLL.

Bapak picked us up!
He let me drive the 4WD for a while :D :D :D

Painting of the Blue Walls! Our equivalence (somewhat) to the fall or Berlin Wall, haha.

HAIR. YES HAIR. YOU WANT THE HAIR? CANNOT. I KNOW, THE HAIR IS UNBEARABLE.
THE HAIR WILL CONTROL YOUR LIFE FOREVER. Oh its real and legit and awesome.

My Dad will only camwhore with a nice shirt. xD

Manis wanted to Model also, righteous.

OHKHAI then we went to the ZOO! I'll spare the photos of the animals hehehehe :D
BUT FIRST, MANJA BANJA AND HER HAIR!

Taking pictures with the Parrots!

Brother and Sister: Cik Mim and my dad!

In this pic I was like, "Ehhhhh why no one wanna take with me? >:(" Haha ok fail ttm.

The only kind of ride free for kids, instead of having to pay for some trolley or wheelchair is THIS.
Piggyback rides on parents. hahaha.

Ok and in the end we got 2 trolleys for the kids who were tired but wanted to see lions and stuff like that.
NO FAIR RIGHT. Haiz, the trolley couldn't move when I sat on it, SAD.

Last one before we leave Zoo! Hope to come back like, every 4-5 years or so, haha.
THE ZOO IS EXPENSIVE!

One last memorable thing about having my family here is, Car trips, not having to take public transport. Also because we are such a big family we have lots of fun and fighting in the car, but still, I ENJOY IT :D

SO CHEEEEKKYYYYYYYYYYYYY

I do not have a favourite sister okayyyyyyyy. x)

OK one last thing from this trip is when my cousins and sister congregate to launch a war against the big deadly monster, ME. Especially when I'm in the room trying to get sleep for work next day they'll be playing "RUN AWAY IF SHE WAKES UP!" and of course provokes me to wake up in the process -____- oh and it was 1 IN THE MORNING homg kids these days. (: Anyway, I'm declaring that I am officially to old for this. Haha, but I still love them kids still.

I love my family! Visits like these make me love and cherish them more. (:
Can't wait to see them again next year hopefully (: (:

FARHANA :D

2010-08-01T13:31:00.005+08:00

PICTURES of my adventures of never ending discovery with Cousin, Farhana! :D

Woohoo!

Hipstamatically Speaking..

2010-05-23T02:26:00.002+08:00

I really like the Hipstamatic application on iPhone. Thanks Farah for intro-ing me to it!
Firstly not only do you have the choice of choosing 3 types of frames and lenses, and 2 types of flash, but the outcome and the picture quality is really really good. even in the computer, its really good, with the lighting and everything. (: Indoors wise, I really thought the colours popped out real nicely too (: worth my US$1.99 and not a bad bargain either! (: I give it 4 stars (cause I kinda wish the preview of the photo wouldn't have to be so small)

You can see how clear her skin really is, haha.

beeesuan

Birthday girl! love the colours in this one.

Whats this? Hipstamatically awesome?

Then 'photoshoot' at Clarke Quay while sun was setting, so really the lighting and the clouds (and wind) here played to our advantage. Most photos taken by SYIRA! So we decided to theme it with Tommy's SLR as the awesome cliche-d "proffessional photographer" look. xD

Model #1 , or, test subject more like.

nice texture ofclouds and water..

Fail act fierce. but do I really looook like that?!

MODEL #2 , TK

I like the clouds in this one.

Triple chinnnnnnnnnnn !

MODEL #3, TOMMY. who i think got it right in the first shot :D

Some random shots here

NEW LENS, the karishma one for the 'old bollywood effect'i think.

MODEL #4 , SYIRAAAAA with not so good photo takers like me and TK.

My try, but i think TK pose... wrongly ahaha.

Not all photos uploaded, but, yeah, I like this Application! :D
More photos upload to other blog posts i suppose :D

Robin Sparkles: Triple Threat

2010-05-22T01:54:00.002+08:00

HELLO LONG TIME SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE.
In case you don't know, my camera taking these awesome photos is proudly named Robin Sparkles. Only cause she brings me back to the days of the 90's where film cameras existed. :D
First round with the Disderi, and hey! I'm pretty pleased :D haha. So here's all 35 Photos developed :

Test one! Outside The Blogshop where I bought the Camera for $33!
(L-R: Hidayah. Farah. Burp)

CATS: I tried taking it when it finished yawning. Weather was Cloudy. Moderate light.

First try with Motion, okay TOo much motion becomes blurry, only short sharp motions :)
LOL burp's face :D

I like the haire movement here! and bee suan looks really happy hehe. PS: we swayed left and right lots of times haha. :D

With BURP. average timing is quick! a third of a second! :D

This one I not too pleasant with. FairPrice was reasonably BRIGHT. but yeah, Sparkles works with sunlight only. (L-R: AikSong, Chingkit, Jasper)

And, TOO SLOW MOVEMENT = no movement captured, haha!

Birdpark Beauties!

2010-01-25T16:50:00.024+08:00

If there's anything that the Singapore Jurong Birdpark is lacking, is a beauty fashion show for all the birds that we've seen, okay a Manhunt category for all the damn shuai eagles and vultures. I don't know where to put the hornbills though. Pelicans are waddly, they should be male. Haha! Here are the photoz:

DUCKS ARE SO KEWT. Penguins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Think, Happy FEET.

Birds of prey show! That's miguel in the first photo. As in, The Bird, THAT'S MIGUEL. Haha.

BIRRRRRRDS WITH LOOOOOONG LEGGGGGGGS.

FLAMINGOES! <3

MANYMANY SNAPSHOTS OF BIRDSHOW :D

I thought the mascots were an awesome addition to the show!! ;D

MY MOST UNLIKELY OUTING PARTNER. Haha, was a very spontaneous move by him to actually give in to my craving to go birdpark since gazzilion years. Okay, since Primary 5. HAHAHA.

LET THE BLUE ROYAL PIGEONS FIESTA BEGIN!!!

HornBills! Reminds me of Toucy in George of the Jungle.
George george george of the jungle, strong as he can be!
AHHHHHHHHHH TREEE! xD

Now for the PRETTY LORIES!
As in, the birds are Lories for plural.
SO PRETYY COLOURED! And the sun was blazing HAWT.

Look they took a bath in the sink! how adorable can that be??? :D

AND THE MANHUNT BEGINS :D

Lastly, BIGGEST FOR LAST!
Presenting, Oscar and Olga the Ostriches! Male Ostriches are better looking, and apparently with the bigger appetite. :D Pretty eyelashes!!!!

Haha I know, the last picture isn't an ostrich!!
HAHA happened to pass by Pelicans Feeding time! I think they've the best lines an unproportionate bird can have (: I mean, WingSpan of 3 METRES! :O

Look! And another pretty swan (:
Its the WORLD'S TALLEST manmade WATERFALL!

And another pretty swan (:

WELL I had fun at the birdpark, a good 4 hours spent! :D
And haha this was exactly last monday, enjoy nature people!
WHILE IT STILL LASTS :D

Oman Trip 2009

2010-01-10T02:53:00.019+08:00

So right now with the power of technology, allow me to introduce to you my family, whom lives in Muscat, Oman because of my father's job. But nevertheless its quality time spent with family that really matters. Oh and tons of Camwhorebunnies because one photo is never enough.

APPENDIX, as of 2009:
Gadis (me) : 18 Years

Lisa: 14 Years

Molly: 10 Years

Cinta: 6 Years

Manja: 5 Years

Manis: 4 Years

Thank you for viewing (:

Now are you ready?

In the room where I share a bed with Lisa. Brought Enid Blyton books which instigated my need to be creative, hope it effects them the same. That's Cinta & Molly at the background.

Where Manis' face is made of rubber and silky hair. ie. Softoy Sister.

Puny bags aren't they! Haha. Lisa watching TV. Cinta Manja back from school!
Sigh, I think there might be an Identity Crisis going on with Manis.
Sometimes she can be so pretty in her pictures, look at her looking at the scenery I took.
Then there's her cheeky side which ventures into the extreme end of the Girly World. (:

I DID NOT PUT HER UP TO THIS. All I did was press a button that made the shutter go off. And Blitzah! You get supermodel MANJA! Whom I must say is the girliest of the youngest three cause she loves pink and prettying up and her actions are veryyyy lembuttt (soft/gentle) (: (:

Manis getting all dolly eyed on the camera, CUTE.

And Cinta doesn't like to smile with teeth cause her teeth are kinda oogly, you'll see later!
And yeah what's a camwhore without some love from the source & the cause, Tee Hee!

Its Awesome that,
THE HOUSE IS IN FRONT OF THE BEACH!!! :D :D :D :D
Just a walk away :D :D :D

At the beach its Windy! Hence it literally makes you feel like you're flying as the wind rushes past you the way you'd stick your head out of a car window. Superb lighting as the day was getting cloudy and yes there are seashells! The part I love about taking photos in this beach is the reflection that you can see, making it all the more timeless and artistic, according to me (:

Can't you tell how happy we are at the beach? One could practically hold a whole GAMES event there xD

And presenting MANIS the Flying Mermaid!!! Oh and her favouritest colour in the world is red (:

I think she looks like an absolute angel (: And her hair is so soft too!

Yes, sea creatures do exist on natural beaches, unlike siloso, that is. Clams found open and close if you deprive them of salty water and that's exactly what Cinta caught! The sand here is so fine and soft that simply shuffling your feet sinks you in about 3-4 inches deep. when you step on the sand the waves erase the imprints oh so effortlessly. Even so, the waves creates their own imprints on the sand where hermit crabs seek shelter. Can somebody say, call of nature? (: It's freaky sometimes how Manis jumps to extreme heights. While the others don't o_O

JEALOUSY AMONG SIBLINGS? CHECK. T.T

PRETTIEST HAIR TENTU MANIS. (: The clam was jealous too I bet!

PRETTIESTNESTFESTQUEST EYELASHES OF MANJA AYU.
This is so not not not not fair, mine are non-existent! D:

We found Mr Krabs from Bikini Bottom! :D

THIS CONCLUDES BEACH DAY ONE (:

Manja the Carpet Mermaid. Manis the Pajama Ambasador!
And Unglam photo, look who couldn't keep their eyes off the TV when Bapak was scolding them haha.

END OF SCHOOL!

La la la la, La la la, Cam-whor-ing... :D

Manis as that girl from Street Fighter, and she can sure pack a punch! :D

NOW THIS IS JUST PLAIN WEIRD:

YUP, ADULT TEETH GROWING BEHIND THE BABY TEETH.
Talk about being OVERPROTECTIVE. Haha! okay not funny.

This is MANJA's mouth btw, eventually the 2 baby teeth was pulled out.

Manja at her best friend's birthday party!
(Middle) Gia Isabella!! xD SOUPER CUTES.

THE BATTLE OF THE CUTEST.

MANIS WINS HANDS DOWN! Like, totally irresistable lah X)

HORSE RACE DAY!

Not before a little camwhoring before we leave! Manis represents what it means to be totally hyped up about wearing your favouritestnest colour in the world xD

Oh and check out MANJA'S HAIR!

Bapak says he's gray his isn't gray.

Its silver. And his hair is really really smooth!! xD

Okay clearly I'm more interested in Camwhoring cause of fine weather. The races were exciting and we're all "Betting" on which horse would win. Of 9 Races, 3 of mine won! :D Which is lousy because Cinta's random decisions based on the Horsies' nice names won her 5 of the races. T.T I got owned by a 6 year old T.T

MANIS GOT HER BANGS CUT!
And she looks still as cute, and she took the opportunity to actually wiggle her eyebrows, haha!
And yes, the porch is such a nice place to take photos, take in the scenery and enjoy the cool breeze (:

INTRODUCING.... SISSY!
Our regular cat visitor (: She eats and shat all over the shed when she was accidentally locked in the other day. But she's a real pleasant neighbour! And she's so pretty and poses like a model doesn't she? (: (:

THE JEWEL OF MUSCAT
Set to sail to Singapore as a gift from Muscat and estimated arrival time in June-August.
Singaporeans based in Muscat were invited to grace the event alongside the Singapore Ambassador of Oman. So, we were guests for lunch first and got to camwhore at the pier and yeah, the ship is based on a shipwreck in the 9th century and its structure is kept to be as original as ever. Apparently in the 9th Century nails were overrated so in this boat there isn't any. Mostly stinky fish oil and strong glue and ropes. So yeah, enjoy!

Drive there through mountains, Sandy mountains. Lunch with nice food!

Back braided hair. Watermelon & Mango juice (delish)! Pillow Bread as appetizers, nice!

DESERT YUMYUMYUM. Manja makan banyak! And the fly wants some juice too.

Rowena! Cinta's ex-classmate. Rowena's siblings Noah & Jenna! They are so so cute. Their Mom's Singaporean and the Dad's Iranian and they live in Oman, nice!

And the sun was setting! Haha, nice scenery (: (: (:

the 5 star hotel where we were at had toilets with nice marble dressers (:

We all bought new swimming costumes, I'm not obliged to upload the other photos, Haha.

Cinta's Gymnastic attire!! :D GREEEEEEEEN

I braid hair. From left, Lisa's Cinta's Manis' !
Nice? Its not really scorpion hair, I somewhat think it resembles Lara Croft in Tomb Raider, then again sometimes I call it Xena's hair, but Xena didn't tie her hair, so....
I CALL IT THE "BRAID INSIDE OUT". For reasons unknown. Haha.

Can anybody please hire this little girl to be the angel on the top of your christmas tree?
I think she's ultimate princess material. Haha.

BEACH DAY TWO.
Went with an hour till sunset, and that's not the sun, its THE MOON.
Seeing it with your own eyes would've been beautiful (:

And yup, what's a picture without all the kitties together!

Driving down the highway gives you spectacular views. Especially at the maximum speed of 120 km/h. No tall buildings to ruin nature's beauty.

Last dinner out! Seafood Buffet that night, yumyum.

6 Different kinds of cheese with Crackers!
AND SUSHI...... which sucked -_-

YUM WE LOVE FOOD NOMNOM. Manja's super comfortable to hug I could have her as my bolster anyday. And we could be food buddies all day long haha!

OH and a few random photos from Molly's camera:

OKAY. THAT'S PRETTY MUCH THE GIST OF IT.
Except for one thing.

CINTA'S BIRTHDAY PARTY @ MCD's
So that'll be in.... another post. (:
OR facebook, I can't decide.

BUT GOODNESS THIS TOOK ME A LONG LONG LONG TIME!
Foinally! :D :D
