Making it make sense.

Making it make sense. My doctor said that to me the other me. Well, here’s something that is not easy to say or write, but something that I hope, when shared, can be something useful to anyone who reads it. After 36 years of living a life, I’m (happy/sad/glad/ashamed – pick one) to share that I’m […]

Hidup, memang susah.

Hidup, memang susah.​ Hidup ni sebenarnya memang susah pun. Tak Senang. Kalau sekarang tempat kerja kau kerja berlambak, ada tempat, kerja dia lagi sikit. Kalau tiap-tiap hari balik kerja stress, ada yang relax, heart rate jatuh bawah resting. Terlalu tenang. Kalau sekarang gaji tak pernah on time, ada yang kadang-kadang terbagi awal. Aduh! Kalau gaji sekarang sikit, tempat […]

Aidilfitri 2025

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Maaf Zahir & Batin kepada semua pembaca blog aku ni. “Krik krik krik,” bunyi cengkerik. Ya, memang takda orang pun yang datang sini. View yang 10-15 orang average tu pun, silap-silap aku sendiri yang baca balik apa benda yang aku tulis, kahkah. Tapi tak apalah, it’s a marathon, not a sprint. […]

AV: TERUS HIDUP

I’m doing (writing, video, photo or whatever) about this matter for the last time. At this rate, if I’m still talking about this, it seems like that I’ve not yet move on, haha. Well to be honest, who would? This was my life for more than the past decade. It has set hard in stone. […]

Masa yang Kelakar

Tak tahu nak cakap macamana. Aku sekarang dah banyak ‘masa’. Tu yang boleh buat ni. Dalam masa sama buat Studio HDJ. Dalam masa sama ada kerja kontrak sepenuh masa. Dalam masa sama, entah apa lagi nak buat entah! Yang bezanya, gaji-tetap tak banyak tapi potensi multiple channel. Dulu macam tak cukup masa. Cuma gaji-tetap, agak […]

Retired Photographer

It’s been a while since aku last consider diri sendiri as a photographer. Betullah, as a Creative, fotografi ni antara benda yang ada dalam skillset aku. Cuma aku dah lama tak main kamera, main lens, guna setting manual dekat body dan set segala ISO, shutter, aperture, white balance apa semua set manually (ya ni aku […]

30-Something

Celebrate my 30-something this month. The number is closer to 40 than it is to 30. My son is now in Darjah Satu. I’ve started a new job after leaving my longest ever serving workplace. Ahh, how much life has happened. So to inaugurate this new age and almost new everything, here’s a photo of […]

A Different World

Nothing ever prepares you for whatever there is to come. Sebab kita takkan pernah tahu, apa yang akan datang. Umur panjang, kita akan sampai ke tempat lain. Umur kurang panjang, semoga segala amalan cukup dan diterima, terus tenang di “sana”. For so long since aku dekat INVOKE, I’ve always thought that whatever happens, aku akan […]

A Short Pivot

After eight years at INVOKE, I decided it was time to move on. My last day in office was on 31 December 2024. It was a bittersweet feeling. Nothing can prepare me for that moment because I’ve always thought INVOKE was my last place for a career. Probably even retired there. But as they say, […]

Story of a Decade – Part 1

By the time I’m done writing this or getting it published, a new day has come. It’s 21 January 2025; truthfully, nothing is significant about it. Tapi kalau tengok kepada baki counting days yang ada, masih tak ada apa-apa yang menarik sangat pun. Oklah, let’s be real. Berbaki empat hari saja lagi sebelum aku akan […]
