Pa & Mami in Seremban's Home

It had been some time since I last wrote in my precious pathethic blog. I was frustrated with my emo; my mood swings like Bell Curves; it was the hot weather to blame on. I felt restless most of the time and I felt uncomfortable to even say more things out from my mouth.

At the same period of time, I was preparing bridal car's materials and alot of hand-stitched works for Vince's big day - that is arriving next week! Pray for the good outcome of my design. And, at very same time too, I took the challenge of participating in a Contemporary Painting competition where I spent almost a month on one big 100cm X 100cm painting. It was really challenging and I was being careful for every strokes and details that were painted on it. Finally, I loves the outcome. I was proud to showcase it to people but not so publicly yet; it's a competition. I need to stay cool and low profile first. I have sent in the entry form. I really need to pray hard for this.

Well, back to today - I think all the bad and "sui" feeling are gone. It's time to get back to blogging again. I have nothing much exciting events or activities or painting or crafts to share about; but rather, some thoughts to talk about during this down-time.

Looking back on some photographs I took in Seremban, I realised probably Seremban's home to be a comfort and peaceful zone for me to get a good easy rest. It is in fact very warm interiorly and I used to stay in my air-cond blasted cozy room. Anyway, I still loves the feeling of me hearing the loud voice of Pa (father) and Mami's laughter (mom's) watching TV programme from downstairs, while I stays up on bed doing my work upstairs. It's sentimental and warm. It reminded me how un-sound proof the room door is especially during my critical SPM time where I need to concentrate on studies. It is good to recall back the moment - I failed to fully concentrate on SPM studies actually, but it showed me a sign - I'm not a Science but Art person. :>

I went out from my house to take some photographs and it was interesting to see some old practice is still intact and works well for the modern world. Mami collected all the peeled Mandarin oranges' skins and chucked into a wire from a broken hanger to hang and dry up the skin. It was nice to look at that photo that contradicts with the Sokka Gakai's building next to our house. (I hate that building! It blocks our feng shui and wind)

I did tried to look at anything else to capture as photograph. I look far and targeted my neighbour's childrens who were playing football. Their corner house is with bigger compound to accomodate them with an activities area. Well, it is better than our house. But it doesn't matter anymore now. Pa and Mami are the only old folks who stay in there most of the time. They claimed our house as "old folks home".

I also managed to take few photographs on Mami's plants and realised this is a nice photograph to be featured here. Mami have this strange behavior - when she is into something, she puts 110 % into it. I think she neglected her gardening interest. There are proves! Ha ha! She is into line dancing now. No more mahjong. It's great news.

Pa & Mami had tied their knot for many years.Their wedding photos prove the time. I loves their black & white vintage wedding photos that were displayed in our house. When Mami looked at her wedding photo, she mentioned about her hairdo and common practice during that time for bride's hairstyling. Usually, bride has to go to saloon and set their hairdo one day earlier before wedding. Hairstylists that time were arrogant and nobody would come to do bride's hair in the morning. I think it is totally opposite now. Maybe there's no competition for the saloon at that time. Ha ha ha.

My big brother is a creative person. He eventually turned 2 cigarrette posters frames (from coffee shop) to become 2 big photographs collages to be displayed at our house now. I loves looking at those photographs. It reflected me with many happy moments and those old memory lanes.There's this photograph that I love most - it was taken when I was still in infancy. I look totally blur but my mom looks gorgeous with her Bob style haircut. It was so retro. The style is back.

Mami still looks great at her old age now. She is still sporting, youthful and most important, still pretty. I wish Pa and Mami have great health and enjoys their life happily.

Some weekends I would rather spend time with Pa & Mami in our beloved Seremban's small house. They are always awaiting for chance with family members and relatives. I always give my best to spend some time with them. It is a good deed to do.
