Suppression

pic taken at Hanoi railway station - midnite train

When suddenly
Light seems so dark,
Life seems so plain,
Heart seems so fragile,
And everything been out of place,
I have no place to turn to,
GOD..r u really listening to my prayers?

Lupakan

pict taken at Setapak after sunset where the skies are the bluest ever.

Ada kalanya peristiwa silam sungguh menyakitkan,
Ada kalanya ukiran pahit masih di situ,
Lebih aku melawan, lebih sukar untuk kulupakan,
Merumitkan dan hanya membuat ku buntu.

Alunan kisah yang memedihkan,
Hanya air mata menjadi saksi,
Ikatan yang merantai sempadan,
Biarlah cepat alam ini bersilih ganti.

Moment of Inspiration, Save Lifes with Early Detection

Hey you..yes you.. Does it ever strike in your mind that what if one day you get to know that your loved ones has been diagnosed with breast cancer and it’s already too late? And that’s hope is gone, all you could afford to do was to blame yourself and keep asking ‘why her?’ The suffering, the pain, the agony that she is going through, and all that moment of silence that was running in her mind, how you wish if you could trade all that with one simple note to God as replacement?

This year Wijaya International Medical Centre is again collaborating with Pink Ribbon Deeds, better known as PRIDE to bring you Paint Your Blog Pink 2! The only thing that has changed is the theme for this year, “Minutes for A Lifetime”.

Wijaya International Medical Centre are proud to involve the Malaysian Bloggosphere to deliver their insights on the matter of Breast Cancer awareness and detection. Their commitment to healthcare is not only towards the treatment of cancer but more importantly, a few minutes of clinical breast exam or a mammography each year will make that significant difference in your life and / or the lives of your loved ones.

When it comes to asking one about what is the most important and precious gift that they ever received in their life, little that we realized that the LIFE itself is a priceless gift.

Model of the photograph above has given her consent and it is only to promote the Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign -Minutes 4 A lifetime.

Do you part to save your own life or someone else life. Each person have their own personal struggle, don’t ever let that fails you. Always remember, you are not alone. There will be hope as long as you willing to help us help YOU. Don't Suffer In Silence, talk to someone or get medical treatment. Breast cancer knows NO one, age, status or even race. It attack like a silent alarm and every woman are in risk if they ignore about the changes in their own body. ignorance is not blissful after all.

[Why You Need To Know About Breast Cancer Symptoms] Breast cancer begins in a cell, which divides and multiplies at an uncontrolled rate. A small clump of cancer cells are too tiny to be felt, so the earliest stages of breast cancer usually have no symptoms. A mammogram can detect cancer before you can feel a lump, which is why your annual screening mammogram is so important. Some benign breast conditions can seem like cancer, so it’s good to know the difference, and get a health professional to check out worrisome lumps.

[Understanding Symptoms] The classic symptom for breast cancer is a lump found in the breast or armpit. An aggressive type of this disease, inflammatory breast cancer (IBC), grows in sheets of tumor cells that invade the skin and resembles a rash. Doing your monthly breast self-exam (BSE) is a great way to be familiar with your breasts’ texture, cyclical changes, size, and skin condition. Early detection is the best way to protect your health and improve your odds of survival. Don’t hesitate to see your doctor or nurse for a clinical breast exam (CBE) if you have a question about a change in your breasts.

Unethical Contest Organizer by Sony Music and TM

2 Aug 09- I was delighted that my artwork was shortlisted. even though my artwork was not chosen as Lenka's favorite during her showcase happening at 1 Utama earlier this afternoon but at least it shall be done fairly. No..im not blaming her...beauty in the eyes of the beholder so it was the contest mechanics by unethical organizer like Sony Music and TM /Hypp.tv that i wasnt so pleased. I want my artwork back! and please honour the rest of the shortlisted entry as stated in the terms n condition of the contest.

And this was my letter to them...

To whom it may concern,

My name is Devi and I would like to highlight my dissatisfaction on the mechanics for Best Artwork contest featuring Lenka.

First of all, it was clearly stated in the Star (as attached) that only 4 entries will be shortlisted but the closing date of submission was on 27 july 2009. On the same occasion, there will be a voting system for the shortlisted entries via the website at http://www.hypp.tv/ . 6 entries were uploaded in http://www.hypp.tv/ after the closing date (28 july 2009) but eventually the contest was later extended to 29 july 2009. On 31 july 2009, i noticed that the 7th entry was uploaded out of the sudden. My question is, is it ethical for renowned brand and partner like yourself to actually accept entry that was sent after the closing date? Would it be fair to those that has work hard to finish up their artwork and sent in earlier, on or before the closing date? I personally feel that the last entry supposed to be disqualified as it doesn’t meet the terms and condition (tnc) It’s not only unfair but how such unprofessionalism decision was made by big company like yourself?

Kindly check all the angst by the artistes themselves /concern parents and even the public on the rules of the contest in the ShoutMix at http://lenka.hypp.tv/ . I am writing to you as a representative to the rest that not only felt ‘cheated’ but unappreciated as well. I do hope the same situation shouldn’t be repeated as this is not only ruining your reputation as so called well-to-known brands but we really has started to lose confident on your signature branding.

Last but not least, thank you for short listing my art work for the preliminary round. But sadly enough that after the winner was chosen by Lenka herself, don’t the organizer supposed to also reward the three runners up as stated in the contest tnc. Unfortunately, I have to personally approach one of your Sony staff and request for my ‘prize’. Which I find it’s rather disturbing and equally inconvenient. I am pretty sure the other ‘artiste’ went back home not only devastated and disappointed but empty handed as well. I don’t mind if every entry was submitted as per requirement as art is sumthing subjective. So what if the last entry was nice and was chosen by Lenka, the fact it was not meet the requirement , the entry was not supposed to be there in the first place.

I am requesting for some feedback regarding the above-said matter and what are your next actions or advice for those artistes that was not rewarded as promised? Are you going to honour their hard work?
You are pleased to drop your input by replying this email or at my blog as well at http://www.devidalildevilphotography.blogspot.com/
Yours sincerely,

Devi

Oh ya..i m sure they will give a lot of 'excuses' on the late entry submitted that it was received earlier but uploaded after the closing date or it was the management discretion on the contest mechanics without any notifications and what not. please enough of lame excuses ok? Did Lenka ever know about this matter ? i doubt so.

And since I am such an emo piece of paper art right now..so there u goes....a picture of the Lenka at the showcase earlier this afternoon.

I want my artwork back! just enjoy the show...

Save our Rainforest - Speak Up Malaysia [DiGI]

I was born and bred in a breathtaking land covered with rainforest. And I love the way my parents raised me in an environment where we manage to express our feeling and love with nature freely. Waking up in the morning where the morning mist ooze your bones and spine, bird chirping melodically, the trees dancing so gracefully as the sun illuminates my humble hometown, it was the perfect moment blissfully. My childhood surrounded with much fascination towards camping in the jungle, playing ‘tarzan’ with the tree branches, pulling that tapioca from the root to be boiled and later sprinkle with sugar for tea break delicacies, fishing using bamboo sticks with my late grandma, picnic while enjoying the waterfall, experienced face to face with wild boar, monitor lizards, wild dogs, discovering weird-shaped plants and the list could go on and on. And as my curiosity running wild, I eventually get out from my cocoon and started to explore around other states in Malaysia. That was how my passion for travelling started. But sadly enough, our rainforest are dying through pollution, open burning, illegal hunting of wild and exotic animals. We need to put this entire ‘hurting’ a stop before it’s too late.

Endau Rompin Selai Rainforest.The mesmerizing ray of sunlight penetrating between trees..wah...bliss**Such a beauty

A place where I could finally let go all my worries and piercing my soul with peace and positivity, I hope we could still Save our Rainforest for now and future.

In conjunction with the contest by Digi+Nuffnang on MMS Speak Up Malaysia , I would like to take this opportunity to express it my way. The piece of art that I created are fully from recycle items such as old newspapers/magazines and whateva junkie that I could get from my scrap collections.

I've been a faithful Digi user since dad bought for me my first handphone. No turning back. I WILL FOLLOW U. Okay, let's get into the project..draw a sketch of the tree on a transparent paperPlace it on top of any recycle coloured- hard cover of old magazines/greeting cards. Cut it out using a knife, CAREFULLY. kids-dont try this at all. get an adult to do it. or u may place ur order from me..kekekekePeel it off gentlyYou can even make a 3D pop up card for gifts/campaign or as a hobby like myselfCombine the 2 cut out trees gently voila-now it somewhat look like a tree - 3D version lahit cant stand by itself, so we need to stitch the bottom on to a base. same goes with real tree, they can only grow tall with proper nutrient and solid rootsumthing like this ..get it? since Love is a crucial part of life, I'm placing the "Tree of Love" for my treenow..let me see..we need some voice to it..so the signature logo of nuffnang should be great

Fit all those together ..oppss..not complete without any taglineSo, with great reception from Digi combine with a platform for expression by Nuffnang, hopefully the 'Tree of Love' will be protected and well reserved. [SAVE OUR RAINFOREST]

And don’t forget that we need our Rainforest in order to survive in this heinous world of destruction and development. Most of the flora and fauna are in the brink of extinction as their habitats are destroyed within split seconds. We certainly do not want our next generation to not know what is like to feel the ray of sunlight in between the standing trees at the deep jungle, the fresh and cool air while jungle trekking, the music of the jungle and what mysteries lies beneath of our Malaysian Rainforest. One example, it’s the haze and rising temperature especially around hustle and bustle city like Kuala Lumpur.

You may ask so how do we save our Rainforest? First, we can organize a trip to our beautiful RAINFOREST and indulge ourselves with the activities such as camping, cleaning and helping non-profit organisation on community services. Go green, plant more trees, stop / report any open burning, using recycle items for environment friendly so that they dont cut our trees for 1 matchbox stick. Dont go wild hunting for exotic animals and plants that in the brink of extinction. All this are useless, unless we start to get it going. So if you are thinking of lighting up another cigarette, stop at once. Start thinking about all the fascinating beauty of mother nature could offer and imagine breathing the fresh cool air..aaahhhh.

The illustrations of the unique world of Malaysia Rainforest are simply indescribable. So save it before all this are just left as piece of art for the next generation to smell, feel, touch or even see.

we dont want that to happen, dont we?

This morning fill with memories,

from sadness to happiness

its exhilarating being da' BIG 3,

standing proud as a big tree,

nope it doesn't make me weak on the knee,

after all the lil DeviL is still exist in me..

The Unrequited Heart

The end is near, while im facing my triumph moment,
it wasnt something i could bear, but this feeling of resentment,
folding me alive, as if im a non-existent.

Judgement never fail to be fair,
But i have my own flaws,
And i aint going to burst it on air,
Coz if i do, u may start to see my claws.
And things can just go nasty as a never ending war.

Let the unrequited heart find its healing

coz its not an option to be me....

Week of Disbelief

Hrmm..somebody pinch me.

"DREAM BIG as you will never know when is that BIG DREAM will come upon u"

~Devi da Lil DeviL~

i've been thru many more failures than winnings in my life...im glad and greatful that all the effort paid off..slowly but surely...yipeeeeee..

I Love KFC Flava Roast

KFC -Kentucky Fried Chicken...it's finger lickin' good!
Kind, Fun, Cheerful
Why did I said that?

Kind because of their charity contribution to Tabung Penyayang KFC,Fun because of their variety favouring for family, teens and even kids (I love their chicky meal toys) Cheerful because their staff and KFC Colonel always look well… cheerful

To begin with..KFC has always been a part of us Malaysian since 36 years ago. How can you resist the crunchy, crispy, mouth watering fried chicken? And who does better than the founder himself, Colonel Harland Sanders? Ever since I was young, KFC has always held a special place in my heart. C’mon everyone, it has been a part of our life during those special occasions like birthdays, gathering, festive seasons, dating, hangout and time out alone too (hahaha). Even until today, this signature face of Colonel never fails to leave a lasting impression ranging from kids to even adults. I used to call him as KFC Uncle..hehehe

And as time evolve, there has been numerous exciting (and not to mention its finger lickin good!) new flava recipes was introduced. The latest being..(Please roll put the red carpet while the drum being played) :

Tempting seduction,

it’s an awakening phenomenon,

KFC’s latest introduction,

roasted with perfection,

jeng jeng jeng the KFC FLAVA ROAST..selection.

pergh..power!!! Bursting with Flavour

Psstt…in conjunction with their contest by Nuffnang and KFC, please feel free to visit their website for more info at: http://www.nuffnang.com.my/kfc-flava-roast/.

Let me revealed this exotic yummylicious secret and unlocked the mysterious recipe. Mind you that this exclusive KFC Flave roast are only available at certain outlets.. please click here for details of the location. So off I went to KFC JJ Alpha Angle yesterday night. Check this out..3 new variants that popping with flava. Aaaaaahhhhh….

Flava' Roast Burger..tender chicken fillet, sandwiched between 2 soft and warm buns with tasty pepper mayonnaise. The combination was bursting with flava!

Look at those cheezy baked potato, topped with jalapeno sauce, mayonnaise, cracked pepper and chopped spring onions. ooze with delight..It smells good too...yummylicious

Sorry..the temptation of the Flava Roast Wings was too much that i ate them on the way back home. GULP! Fret not, the pictures itself explain everything about the new flava recipe.

So I designed my ‘masterpiece’ using only RECYCLE items. FYI…while capturing this moment, its so irresistible not to munch those Flava Roast Burger and Roast Chicken Steak.

Cut out the love shape from an old notepadLet's paste their signature logo.. KFC Uncle face..heheheDont forget Colonel famous faceFinally my masterpiece is DONE..while enjoying creating this collage, my stomach already grumbling.Patient Devi, patient…… hrmmm..
