Lunch @ Chennai

November 1st, 2008 Faris

My colleagues and I took Shafiq to an Indian restaurant called Chennai because he is going to get married in November. So, we thought it would be nice to have lunch together considering last Friday was his last day before he’s off for a month. The food was very nice and we were so late and rushing to get back to the office.

By the way, best wishes and good luck to you Shafiq.

Eid 2008 Open House

October 28th, 2008 Faris

Last week my sister in law had an open house for Eid even though Syawal is almost finish. It was also a surprise birthday party for my brother who will be celebrating his birthday on the 1st of November. I wish I could show you the part where we surprised him by singing birthday song but I am not allowed to upload any due to certain circumstances. It was fun though and the house was jam-packed!

Asif’s Birthday Party

July 13th, 2008 Faris

Yesterday, 12th July 2008 we had Asif’s costume birthday party. If you’re wondering which one is him, he is the one with Sportacus costume. In fact, his birthday was actually on 30th June but the date fell on week day so we decided to give him a rain check on his birthday party. It was fabulous and fantastic. Everyone came with their own costume as you can see in the video.

Watching these kids having fun really bring my thought to my childhood. It reminds me how wonderful to be a kid. Everyone thinks the same I reckon. Wishing that we could be a kid again. There’s nothing to think, worry and no issue about everything. All you want is to play and play. However, I’m wishing that everyone is well and perfect. Especially to Asif, HAPPY 6th BIRTHDAY!!

Thanks very much for tuning in and have a nice day everybody!

Birthday Party

December 31st, 2007 Faris

Forced myself to wake up in the morning for the birthday party of my niece and nephew. They both share same date which is 1st of January. Well, probably their parents have another agenda on that particular date and also, it is not weekend so they managed the birthday two days earlier. As usual, I was the man to cover the party pictures or not too much for me to say an official photographer for this special day.

So basically Ashman will be 4 and Arisha will turn 3 tomorrow. Happy birthday to both of them. In fact, I just realized, their uncle just celebrated his birthday couple of days ago hahaha. My colleagues always “puke” when I say I am the greatest and best christmas gift ever because my date of birth is on 24th of December which is on christmas eve LOL. That is actually taken from my father’s words. I am considered as a “christmas gift” LOL.

Aqiqah

December 30th, 2007 Faris

It was a lovely day yesterday. The sun shone pleasantly. It’s been a while I didn’t see it since winter. That’s the different between here and Malaysia. In Malaysia, people run away and try not to be lit by the sun because it’s hot but in here, we chase for the sun LOL. If there’s one, people will search for spot so that they can get the warmth from the sunlight. Being here for six months, now I appreciate the sun so much haha.

Went to my brother’s friend’s place. Actually it was held in Malaysia Hall. They were having aqiqah for their new baby boy. Congratulation to them. Anyway, this was my second time attending islamic occassion in the UK held by Malaysian community if not mistaken. The last time I went to Malaysia Hall was during Ramadhan doing solat terawih. They run random of activities quite frequent I guess. It’s just that I live quite a distance from the area hence, I rarely go there unless for purposes.

The strange thing about me is that I sometimes can be demotivated with my photography thingy. I don’t know why it happens but I do get that kind of feeling sometimes. Like recently, that bloody mood returned and I just don’t know what to do to wipe that out from my head. Plus, I’m quite frustrated with myself because I am so naive when I have a camera but I don’t know how to fully utilize it? Do you know what I mean? Well, I guess it’s just need a bit more practice to get familiar with the camera setting. However, that shouldn’t be an excuse to get good pictures I reckon. Perhaps I should consider going down to Central London more often to see what’s happening in town and more importantly, to improve my photography skills.

Back to aqiqah story. The occassion went smoothly and I’m pretty sure everyone enjoyed the food as well LOL. We Malaysian can’t never be apart from food can we? Hahaha. Face the reality guys hahaha. I’m not saying to anybody. In fact, me myself loves food very much. I can eat 4 to 5 times per day…oopss!! Unsure but I think I was the only one to miss when the baby being carried and walked around to get his hair cut. I wanted to do it badly to feel the experience because I never done any but I was a bit “busy” taking photos at the moment. Nevermind, in the next aqiqah whenever it comes, I’ll ensure I won’t miss it again! LOL.
