Rantai Gravity 2010

So I went to the event at National Art Gallery with My little sister Shamimi with our neighbour Annysa. Since I'm afraid to drive and still a little phobia, we took the public transport. Originally we were planning to start moving at noon sharp but due some complication we begin a bit later.

At first I thought I want to take the taxi to Setiawangsa LRT Station to Masjid Jamek's and change to Star Route to Titiwangsa station before walking to the gallery. Thinking that will be too tiring and my mom gave me another choice I change tha plan. My public transport knowledge are so rusty no. Anyway, we took taxi from Wangsa Maju to Setiawangsa LRT Station. Then ride it until Damai LRT Station. We waited for few minutes there because it's Friday and on Friday it's hard to get taxi between 12 noon to 2 o'clock. The taxi arrived and we ride until infront of National Heart Institute before crossing the road and walk about 5 minutes to the gallery.

I was a bit excited because this is the fisrt time ever I step to the gallery even I've lived in Kuala Lumpur almost all my life. Was a bit frustrated because we forgot to bring the camera along *raising eyebrow*.

Walked into the building we first step into a exhibit hall before heading to where the Rantai is. Rantai this year compared to the one I've went in 2008 has more booth. The only thing that I don't favour is that the booth is set too close to each other but I figure it happen because of the limited space provided. The booth are selling good and nice stuff. The items are affordable too. This time around no painting or pictures were in display maybe because it already exhibit during Rantai Art Himpun. There's booth selling yummy cuppies and delish cookies too. Overall I can say that I enjoy the booth. I didn't wait for the performances though because it looks like its going to rain and I'm catching the public transport.

After leaving Rantai we wandered around the gallery, went in and out of the exhibit hall looking and trying to analysing the art.

Below are items that I bought at the event:-

I bought this dress for RM5. Uh-huh no kidding RM5.
But I can't fit in it. I'm thinking to give it to my elder sister. If she can't fit in it too, I'm going to sell it with the same price. Excluding postage.
Anyway it's pink with pink polka dots.

Here is the close up of the print.

Of course the Rantai t-shirt.
The fabric pretty delicate(?) though. Pretty sure I'm going to rarely wearing it.
RM45.

Bought this green bag orange in colour for RM10.
I forgot to ask their website. But according to Rantai Art page its 'Handmade Item Shifa Mahmud'.
They also selling bracelet, brooch, locket, book mark, frame, coin purse etc.

Bought this two selendang from Modish Mode House.
The blogshop call it Plain Jane Studded.
At the blog it cost Rm18 each. But at the event it cost RM15 each.
Because I bought two of them it cost me Rm 10 each, so I pay Rm20 for both.

This is the studded on the shocking pink shawl...

...and this one on the dark brown.

You Again

So yesterday, because I was so bored this semester break, I asked my sister to go watch movie with me. Since I've watched Life As We Know It last week, I choose to watch You Again. So yeah, like during Life As We Know It, we were a bit late. I like it when no one sitting in front of me in the theatre. I can laugh all I want. Thank god the movie haven't started yet when we step into the cinema. Though things that happen in the movie never really happen to me, it was a good movie.I like it when Marni (played by Kristen Bell) said, "High school was a horror movie. And this weekend is the sequel" (or something like that).

You Again is directed by Andy Fickman and wrote by Moe Jelline. The main lead for the movie is Kristen Bell, Sigourney Weaver, Odette Yustman, Jamie Lee Curtis and Betty White. 'What doesn't kill you... is going to marry your brother' is the movie tagline. It is categorize as a comedy movie.

Sypnosis: No matter how old you are, you never get over high school. Successful PR pro Marni heads home for her older brother's wedding and discover that he's marrying her high school arch nemesis who's conveniently forgotten all the rotten things she did so many years ago. The the bride jet-setting aunt burst in and Marni's not-so-jet-setting mom comes face to face with her own high school rival. The claws come out and old wounds are opened in this crazy comedy about what happens when you're reunited with the one person you'd like to forget. (taken from nuffnag)

They were riping each other nemesis picture

This is from the dance lesson scene.
You should watch the scene. The ladies were trying to top each other dance.
Except for Grandma Bunny. She haven't met her nemesis yet.

Believe me three of them got their own high school nemesis.
Even Grandma Bunny.

This was after Marni shows Joanna's bad behaviour back in high school days,
during Joanna's rehearsal dinner.

RANtAi '09

the schedule is out!

i'm most probably will go on the last day. if i ever got the permission.

but i want to go on the first day juga. got a samad said!

Last Minute Eidulfitri Shopping

man, it was tiring. and i knew it from the beginning when umi said, "jom pegi tengok kasut dekat pavilion."

so we went at about 1.30pm. we arrived fast because there were not many cars. we headed off to parkson, shoe section of course. the original plan was for along and adik to find their shoes. but alang-alang dah sampai, i look for shoes too because i don't have any flats (my pointed flats shoes excluded). i interested in three shoes. all of 'em are brown. i want Sole Lovers, but sadly it gonna cost abah rm209++. later i found Carlo Rino and Camel Active. between these two, i prefer Camel Active more. because it more comfy.

after finished paying for my and adik's shoes, we walk around pavilion. and my feet almost got blisters!! because i were wearing my 3-inch platform wedges (i genuinely thought we will only go to parkson ONLY). and then abah called me to go to Harvey Norman to check out the laptops. so, i have something in my what to buy.

after all the shopping, we went home. we were seriously tired. along got many blisters on he feet.

ps: i found some people today. and i quite shock to see them. by the way dude, your secret is save with me.

heads up farah, SPM in 62 days.

2nd Breakfasting Together

*i suppose to do this last night. but i was too tired.

so, the girls and boys went out last night for breakfasting at aeon au2. all were invited, of course. but only 13 can make it. that were me, liyana, intan, hana, bieha, cheeza, izhar, nabil, daniel, ikhwan, kimi, hisham and afiq.

at first the plan was to breakfast at kenny rogers roaster. but it was full. not that full full, but not enough seat for all of us. so we head off to food court.

people started since 5pm. but unfortunately for liyana, intan, hana and i, we can can't go early. because we have tuition until 6.30pm. so liyana texted hisham and ask him to pick us up and no suprise he's willing to do it.

when we arrived it almost 6.50pm after going through a minor traffic jam at au keramat. as arrived, we headed straight to the food court and hana spotted them. went to the table and sat down. nabil and izhar was at wendy's while daniel was at subway, buying their breakfast meal.

then afiq (or liyana. i'm not sure) suggested that we only drink and eat a bit then go eat at the restaurant. so we all agreed. cheeza an i went inside jusco and i bought peel fresh. large for the boys and small for the girls (we ended up sharing it, though). after that i went to the bakery to buy some pastries for my breakfast meal, while liyana and bieha went to dailyfresh to buy waffle for the breakfast meal and hisham go to buy kerang bakar (i don't know what its name in english). as we heard the azan, we ask the boys to recite a prayer. neiher of them did (or as far as i heard) . bieha ended up reading it for us. so we ate our meal and drink peel fresh that i bought for them (i took the straws from the food court juice bar). unfortunate ly, the straw were too short for the peel fresh box. afiq opened the box at drink it from top instead from the side. and, *cough* *cough* i ate kerang for the fisrt time. wasn't so bad. ouh the best part was, kimi feed us (me, cheeza and bieha). he said he feels like a cats mom feeding the kittens. haha.

after finished our breakfasting meal, we're all headed to the prayer room to perform our paryer. because hana and i were the one whom brought the praying cloth, we perform the prayer fist followed by cheeza, bieha and intan. liyana waited outside, well, she's on 'that' day. we i finished, i saw the boys altready finished praying. of course they finished first, they don't use the praying cloth.

the when all of us done praying, we head off to the food heaven. but sadly, all restaurants were full house. no no. they have the places, but not enough for all of us. funny thing was, when we went to kenny rogers and ask if they have place for all of us, the attndant said, "ayam tak cukup la dik." how that even possible? not enough chicken? bluff. we even considered to eat at skura kristal, boston, pizza hut, a&w, wendy's and even teppayanki. but all of 'em were full. so we decide to walk around first, an then check it out again. this was when ganageas appeared. before that we meet our tuitonmates with their friends.

after walk around for about 5-15 minutes, we went back down to check out the restaurant. after going down the escalator, surprise surprise, we met fatin. nabil's sister. man, so long after i last saw her. okay, back to the story. after looking out at few restaurant we decide to eat at noodle station. i took us like 30 minutes just to decide what to eat, not including the time of ordering the food. afiq says, "korang tau tak, kita nak pikir makan ape, nak order, sama lama dengan kita nak cari tempat makan." while waiting for the food, we are all maiking stupid joke. and there's this time when somebody opened the taylor swift you belong with me cover video. we all sang together. and all the people in the restaurant looked at us, table with 14 people. haha.

and then the food started to arrived. my food and drink arrived the last. and we all ate. but the boys just can't stop talking and making stupid jokes. and we all laugh of course.

when we settled paying for our meal, we all kiss and say good bye and hari raya. unfortunately my hand landed on somebody's face. only some know the story.

some notes of the day:

1) izhar name us girls (and hisham)

- liyana : ibu liyana

- me : umi farah

- intan : mummy intan

- hana : mama hana

- bieha : adik

- hisham : baby

2) when we were looking for restaurant to eat, the boys found a shopping cart. ikhwan asked us girls to put our bags in. so we did.

4) and hisham hoop in the cart.

5) somebody ask if hisham want milk and in what flavour, he pointed al us girls.

6) because we were far from the elevator, we can't bring up the cart. so we have to take our bags back. ikhwan carried mine.

7) at noodle station: kimi's drink name was '* something* i love you' and hisham's was '*something* i miss you'. their drink was in bottle-like container. while liyana looked like biscuit container. we all said, "pakai balang kuih sapa ni?" "balik rumah karang kalau ada balang kuih yang hilang, akak ni la amek." hahaha.

8) i kept saying telur all the time.

9) intan, hisham and i race to hisham's car. i arrived fisrt. but hisham claimed he arrived fisrt.

10) we shouted, "bye ganageas!!!!!" i think half of the parking lot can hear us.

11) 6 of us (intan, hisham, liyana, me, hana, bieha) cramped inside hisham's myvi. but practically hisham and intan were not cramped because hisham was driving, intan sat beside him.

12) we a little lost when we want to send liyana.

13) when we arrived at liyana's house, hisham said to the guard, "we want to send bomb." and when we want to go back he said again, "10 minutes, this place explode!!" then intan and i said, "nanti dia cari hisham baru tau."

14) we dropped hana and bieha along the way.

15) i bought daniel the dinner.

16) ganageas was speechless of our behavior. haha.

i had a blast yesterday. i was a total fun.

but a little down side because raje, yana, amir, ijan, shahreedza, syeefa, nadia, and of course our beloved hajar can't joint this year. never mind. we make it up during this year gathering. okay guys?

and ouh, i didn't brong camera last night, so all of the pictures are with kimi and ikhwan.

heads up farah, SPM in 63 days.

LAMAN 2008

Well, it doesn't comes out as we, as in my parents, my younger sister and I, expected. Its like they just doing exhibition about garden thingy and not showing landscape as it should. LAMAN 2006 was so much better than this. So here are some of the photo of the visit.

See, there's two birds inside there.

Tempurung also can be use as decoration you know.

I have to wait almost 10 minutes just to sit there because the kids playing with it like it theirs.

The weather just hot.

I'm just taking a short break, in one of the landscape.

I should took sharper picture.

Some bamboo tree. You can always see it. It's not included in LAMAN.

Picture of us, waiting for ummi. She's so excited about the plants.

So, that's the picture. I didn't took many picture because ummi and adik are using the camera to limit, especially ummi. I hope LAMAN 2010 would be way better than this. Like ummi said, nursery at Sungai Buloh are so much better than this. Well, I agree with her.
