I wish I can do Painting like Leonardo Da Vinci ..

The Mona Lisa is 16th century oil painting created by the renowned Leonardo da Vinci. The work of art depicts an enigmatic woman gazing at the viewer, and it is said that if you move across the room while looking into her eyes, they’ll follow you. It is definitely one of the most popular paintings worldwide and has been the center of many artistic, religious, and theoretical debates. The French government currently owns the Mona Lisa and it is featured at the Musee du Louvre in Paris. The painting can also be referred to as La Gioconda or La Joconde. The name of the painting stems from the name of the woman in the portrait, Lisa Gherardini, the wife of a wealthy businessman in Florence, Italy named Francesco del Giocondo. Mona means ‘my lady’ or ‘madam’ in modern Italian, so the title is simply Madam Lisa.
Art historians agree that Leonardo Da Vinci likely began painting the Mona Lisa in 1503, and completed it within 4 years. In 1516 the King of France, King Francois, bought the painting and it is thought that after Leonardo’s death the painting was cut down. Some speculators think that the original had columns on both sides of the lady, whereas other art critics believe that the painting was never cut down in size. It has been suggested that there were 2 versions of the Mona Lisa painting, but many historians reject the second version. The duplicate copy can be found at the Dulwich Picture Gallery. After the French revolution the painting was moved to the Louvre, and Napoleon had it placed in his bedroom for a short time before it was returned to the Louvre.
The popularity of the Mona Lisa increased in the mid 19th century because of the Symbolist movement. The painting was thought to encompass a sort of feminine mystique.In 1911 the Mona Lisa was stolen from the Louvre. The art thief hid in a broom closet until the museum closed, stole the painting, hid it under his jacket and walked out the front door. Eduardo de Valfierno was the mastermind behind the theft and has planned to make copies of the original and sell them as the real thing. Eventually, in 1913, he was caught when trying to sell the original to a Florence art dealer. The Mona Lisa is most famous for her facial expression, her enigmatic smile and da Vinci’s mastering of tone and color in the painting. There is much mythology and interpretations relating to the painting that mystify the world. Many art critics and art history buffs suggest that the Mona Lisa is actually a portrait of da Vinci himself in feminine form. In addition, most viewers see the meaning behind Mona Lisa’s smile very differently.


P/s : I can't be like Leonardo Da Vinci, I want create my own History and it MUST be for achieving something ....for my future generations..

Penang Trip





Nasi Kandar Penang...

Talk about Penang, mmmmk of course Nasi Kandar one of the attractive foods...so do I... I had the Nasi Kandar Ayam Kicap (Chicken in Dark Soya Sauce). The chicken drumstick / thigh is quite big in portion and tastes great. Has a nice hint of spice to it and not overpowering. It must be the family’s secret recipe. My Nasi Kandar Ayam Kicap comes with three pieces of steamed / boiled ladies fingers which were really tender, yet crisp to the bite. A couple of slices of cucumber and papadoms completes the dish.


A bit sad, because i wanted to eat Nasi Kandar at Kayu Restaurant or Line CLear.because according to NK lover.. the taste is totally diffrent between Kayu Rest in KL and Penang..the originality only can get in PEnang. The arrangement so bad...everybody is so craving so we just went to Restaurant NS Nasi Kandar, located at QueensBay Mall.. Urhhhhh so bad...and pity to Ika cannot get all the Assam from Penang like Buah Pala and etc...Nevermind!! to all gilrss..next trip to Penang is by car..no more flight...ok...

Just One Last Dance

Another my fav singer...Sarah Connor is a German singer and songwriter. Enjoy this song...

A Fairy Song

William Shakespears


Over hill, over dale,
Thorough bush, thorough brier,
Over park, over pale,
Thorough flood, thorough fire!
I do wander everywhere,
Swifter than the moon's sphere;
And I serve the Fairy Queen,
To dew her orbs upon the green;
The cowslips tall her pensioners be;
In their gold coats spots you see;
Those be rubies, fairy favours;
In those freckles live their savours;
I must go seek some dewdrops here,
And hang a pearl in every cowslip's ear.




I’ve got good friends but even when I am laughing with them or messing around I still feel lonely. I feel so lonely and I have nobody to talk to. And if I do have somebody to talk to they start to yell at me or they just ignore me. I don't know why I feel this way. And I didn't get hurt over a crush. So what is wrong with me. I don't even know. And I guess I better get use to that. Because in the real world I can't force people to talk to me. And right now I don't do that, it is just I feel very very sad.

It's Not Goodbye - Sweet November MV



Original singer is Laura Pausini. Talented singer-songwriter from Italy..

And what if I never kiss your lips again
Or feel the touch of your sweet embrace
How would I ever go on
Without you there's no place to belong

Well someday love is gonna lead you back to me
But 'til it does I'll have an empty heart
So I'll just have to believe
Somewhere out there you thinking of me

Until the day I'll let you go
Until we say our next hello
It's not goodbye
'Til I see you again
I'll be right here rememberin' when
And if time is on our side
There will be no tears to cry
On down the road
There is one thing I can't deny
It's not goodbye

You'd think I'd be strong enough to make it through
And rise above when the rain falls down
But it's so hard to be strong
When you've been missin' somebody so long

It's just a matter of time I'm sure
But time takes time and I can't hold on
So won't you try as hard as you can
To put my broken heart together again

What i had for lunch today.....







For lunch I had Chicken Rice and Iced Milo (supposely Hot Tea) . The Rice so Salty and for the soup a lot of MSG..
Chicken rice is a simple and yet very delicious meal that everyone loves, so do i..


Why Chicken Rice SO GOOD .....

1. It's healthy... really? It has protein, carbohydrates, vegetables and oil.
2. It's finger licking good... even better than KFC.
3. Rice is fluffy, fragrant and leaves you hungry for more... delicious morsels
that lingers in your mouth long after...
4. Chicken. Tender and succulent. Fatty skin can only be a bonus - fragrance and
yumminess times ten!

Location. Available in whole over Malaysia...


So lets go for Chicken Rice....

What In My Heart Now....



Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep... wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you' re just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have YOU... The one who turns to his friends and says, thats her...

I will always pray To Allah S.W.T ...AMIN..

THE PHOENIX AND THE TURTLE

A POEM BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE


The Phoenix and the Turtle
Let the bird of loudest lay
On the sole Arabian tree,
Herald sad and trumpet be,
To whose sound chaste wings obey.
But thou shrieking harbinger,
Foul precurrer of the fiend,
Augur of the fever's end,
To this troop come thou not near.

From this session interdict
Every fowl of tyrant wing
Save the eagle, feather'd king:
Keep the obsequy so strict.

Let the priest in surplice white
That defunctive music can,
Be the death-divining swan,
Lest the requiem lack his right.

And thou, treble-dated crow,
That thy sable gender mak'st
With the breath thou giv'st and tak'st,
'Mongst our mourners shalt thou go.

Here the anthem doth commence:?br>Love and constancy is dead;
Phoenix and the turtle fled
In a mutual flame from hence.

So they loved, as love in twain
Had the essence but in one;
Two distincts, division none;
Number there in love was slain.

Hearts remote, yet not asunder;
Distance, and no space was seen
'Twixt the turtle and his queen:
But in them it were a wonder.

So between them love did shine,
That the turtle saw his right
Flaming in the phoenix' sight;
Either was the other's mine.

Property was thus appall'd,
That the self was not the same;
Single nature's double name
Neither two nor one was call'd.

Reason, in itself confounded,
Saw division grow together;
To themselves yet either neither;
Simple were so well compounded,

That it cried, 'How true a twain
Seemeth this concordant one!
Love hath reason, reason none
If what parts can so remain.'

Whereupon it made this threne
To the phoenix and the dove,
Co-supremes and stars of love,
As chorus to their tragic scene.

THRENOS

BEAUTY, truth, and rarity,
Grace in all simplicity,
Here enclosed in cinders lie.

Death is now the phoenix' nest;
And the turtle's loyal breast
To eternity doth rest,

Leaving no posterity:
'Twas not their infirmity,
It was married chastity.

Truth may seem, but cannot be;
Beauty brag, but 'tis not she;
Truth and beauty buried be.

To this urn let those repair
That are either true or fair;
For these dead birds sigh a prayer.

wHY

No idea why i'm doing this!

blank... mind is totally blank!
i dont understand how my mind works.. i was a different person before.. always lively!
now i feel things have changed.. i am more of a lazy person than the cheerful person of those years.

is it age? the times of 2010? or the people around me? or my busy work schedule?
i have no answer!

but i am not happy with these changes.. its making me sick day by day!
i just feel like running to a far away country and take rest for a long time..

WIll BE BACK SOON...
