Will you still love the way I am if one day, I changed?
Will you still visit my blog if one day, I don’t blog as frequent as I used to?
Will you still read if one day, I changed topics that I used to write?
Will you still remember me if one day, curryegg is no longer existing? (maybe she has turned into currychicken? curryostrich? curryfish? currypanda? )
Will you still response if one day, I started writing crap like this?
Will you?
And will you?
The view is spectacular!!!
OH MY GOD!
I will never ever forget this moment of seeing a Moon Dog (or known as paraselene) with my own eyes. Never! It’s such a holly phenomenon that last almost half an hour at my place. I was stunned with the beauty of the Moon Dog phenomena.
Calv called me about 11.50pm, asking me to go out and watch the moon. I was actually watching youtube on a shared clip before making myself to walk out from the house. I was in a questioned mode, wondering what kind of surprises the Moon will bring me again?
Together, we saw this:
In another 15 minutes time, a plane passed by and I got this ‘super extraordinary’ scenery. Unique~
Notes: Photos taken using my pink-eggie (compact camera)
This is called, ‘Rarer than the rare’
And this makes me wanting to sing, “can we pretend that airplane in the night sky like shooting star?” Lol..
Calv has checked information about this phenomena online and he learned that it’s called Moon Dog (almost similar to Moon Ring) from Wikipedia. It stated that it’s an extremely rare phenomenon and it doesn’t happen often (rarer than sun dog). For more info, click wikipedia.
It might be called as a Moon Right. After some researches and readings, I still believe it’s not Moon Ring, but Moon Dog because it’s not exactly a full moon.
Anyway, I feel extremely lucky to be able to witnessed the Moon Dog in my housing area and snapped some photos, while talking on the phone with Calv. The experience is marvelous and romantic. What a goddess moon.
This has reminded me about my previous discovery on the Smiley Moon. That too, happened once in a live time. I am fortunate to be able to get good picture with my same camera. Head over here for the smiley moon post.
So, have you seen it? Do you able to capture it with your camera? There is a friend who managed to capture with rainbow effect. So unique.
Hope you feel as lucky as I am with the best photos I could take =)
P/s: Moon always gives me surprises with her wonders <3
Do you know what is the best gift from a lecturer who has taught me for 3 years?
Or should I ask, what will make me touched and cried for the rest of my life?
Lol. It seems like I am exaggerate my words but then, that’s how I feel when I saw THIS:
Closer view:
It was last Thursday, when Dibah visited the faculty and thought of giving Dr. Diana (The Queen) a visit at her office. Unfortunately, she was not there and we thought of leaving the place and visit her another day. Before we left, to our surprise, we spotted our name on her office door!
Ahhhwww… isn’t she lovely? She remembered us and make her greeting at the door. Seriously, I have never thought of a lecturer will have the time and heart to make this effort. It’s just… so.. touching. I can feel my existence in her heart and, be remembered and appreciated. That’s why, all my coursemates and I love her so much because she did so many things for us in the past 3 years, not just love on the door but on food, paper, movie and her teaching as well.
I will remember our Pizza Day, Movie Day, Art Day and Make-Up Day for the rest of my life. She is so generous, loving and wise. I bet, everyone in the class, even my junior agree with my statement. I am telling the truth~
I promise myself that one day, when I am an educator, I want to care and love my students like my Dr. Diana. Never be ego so that I am able to understand and learn from my students. That’s a piggy promise I make for myself.
Thank you Dr. Diana for your love not just at the door but in the air too. I will see you on the stage tomorrow!
P/s: My convocation is tomorrow afternoon at UM. I can’t believe that the BIG DAY is arriving! If you can come, do let me know =D
Love,
curryegg
I was always… and still always…
a perfectionist who have the tendency to do and finish work, perfectly perfect.
I would rather delay my time in the search for the ‘Best Inspiration’, and then only commit in doing the work.
It happens to my coursework, assignment, housework, making presents and even when it comes to blogging. I find it hard to start a task especially those which I am fully passionately, committed and excited with. Often, I realize I have high hope to make the best work which end up consuming lengthy hours to complete or worse, not doing at all – if inspiration doesn’t hit me. This perfectionism frustrates especially when I procrastinate my work and most of the time, finish at the very last minute.
In every last minute work which is imperfectly done, I thought I’d learned my lesson. Every time, I swear and promise to start my future task earlier so that I can complete in time. Well, when you read such ranting post, it’s obvious that my attempt failed… =(
I came across with an article, discussing about creative people often procrastinate and delay their work because they want to find the best idea. Perfectionism is a common trait among creative people – and I cheerfully put myself into the group which give me an excuse for my delayed work. Hey, I want the best work ma. So I find the best idea and finish later lor.
However, I don’t feel myself productive at all. Looking at my blog achieve for example, I don’t write much blog entries over the years. I realize I wrote the most in the year of 2008 and it reduces throughout the years –
| Years | Number of blog posts |
| 2007 | 163 |
| 2008 | 271 |
| 2009 | 181 |
| 2010 | 119 |
| 2011 | *50 |
Gosh! I only make 50 egg entries so far for this year? o_O
It might due to my buziness and other personal reasons for the reduced number of blog posts. But, I also realize that the other reason is due to my perfectionism. I don’t write if I can’t find the best inspiration. I don’t write if I don’t have the best list of photos. I don’t blog until the so and so reason.
Well, I find it hard to simply publish unorganized blog post especially when I have more readers now. I will carefully write and insert photos in each of my blog and it ended up take a very long time. I have this feeling of not wanting to loss my readers (you) with my ‘imperfect post’ for example unedited photos, unorganized thoughts and etc. Thus, there is a tendency to impress my reader more than myself.
I don’t mean that carefully organized writing is not good. Of course, I want quality work. Just, I don’t like the idea of losing my spontaneous side to complexity. This awareness was formed when I visited a bookstore yesterday and I came across with this good book on ‘Creative Writing’. There is a page which written,
Postpone perfection
Perfectionism can kill writing, cutting it dead as it tries to emerge. There is a time for perfecting writing and it is not at the outset. But what if you find it painful to produce clumsy, ineffective lines or sentences? You should understand that all writers, even the most experienced, can write badly. The gift of writing is a power that flickers – everyone has mediocre days as well as magical. Try to cultivate an attitude of curiosity.Book: Creative Writing – Edited by Linda Anderson (page 21)
I find a strong connection with the above discussion. It’s true. Perfectionism kill my joy of writing sometimes. I was thinking, why perfectionism occur in me? I shared similar discussion in my last post on the perfectionist nerd. Is it because I am a Virgo? Or is it because I am a right-brainer? Or is it because I am being taught so?
It didn’t take me long to come up with a conclusion that, I am afraid to fail. I am afraid to portray a silly side of me. I am afraid to be judged. And, I am afraid to be seen as useless. Thus, I always want to show a stronger intellectual side of me. Probably, this also affects my blogging style – write a Grade A post or don’t write at all… =_=
I do admit that I have this perfectionist trait in me. The good news is, it can be balanced up as we aged – said Dr. Diana. And I want to cultivate my magical side through spontaneous writing starting by today. I used to blog very freely back in year 2007-2008 (can be seen on the above table).
I do think that I don’t have to show my perfectionist side in my own personal blog. After all, this is not a professional website. I am allow to make mistake, silly writing and uninteresting post, right?
Showing the silly sides of me (us) XD
It’s time for a change in curryegg. Don’t ask me what will it be because, I don’t know.. yet.. Let’s hope for more eggs in future =P
P/s: Wow, I have wrote a lengthy post in a short time without me realizing it. It works! =D
Before writing any further, there is something I wanna confess – that.. that.. Initially, I didn’t know who Taio Cruz is. Ya, like seriously serious!
Until, one fine morning after I read his name on the Arthur’s Day poster, I took the initiative to google his name to learn about him. To my ultimate surprise, I’d actually known him for quite some times. He is the one who sang ‘Break My Heart’, ‘Higher’ and ‘Dynamite’!!!
He' is Taio Cruz!
Oh dear. How could I not knowing him? Those songs are my favorite.
But of course, I know who he is by now since I am writing about Taio Cruz who came to Arthur’s Day event in Malaysia with photos and video clip somemore. Sorry to Taio Cruz’s fans who get annoyed with my previous ignorance (sorry Calv..) --- *knock my head*
There was a competition running on at Churp Churp and I am lucky enough to win a pair of exclusive tickets from them (thank you so much!) to the Arthur’s Day 2011 at KL Speed City last Friday (23rd Sept 2011). I still remember how Calv screamed in happy tears when I told him about the tickets on the phone. He was so excited and thrilled with the idea of meeting his favorite artist: Taio Cruz. That moment was when I learned that my boyfriend’s is a fans, A BIG FANS of Teh O Ice. Em.. I mean, Taio Cruz… =P
We went to the event in black, like what it stated on the dress code. Haha.. well we did some preparation days before the event like finding the best, black attire (since both of us don’t own much black garments), learned about the artists who will perform for the event and also the location. Calv was the one who did most of the research job as he wants both us to enjoy the event to the fullest. Ahhww… he’s so considerate :)
So, here are some of the photos during the event. By the way, the crowds were crazy! It was reported by the Hitz.fm crew that there were almost 20K people turned up for the event.
I didn’t aware that Kate (blogger) was standing just next to me as the place suddenly ran out of electrical supply and it was dark, until I transferred all the photos to my computer.
Seriously, the Arthur’s Day celebration in Kuala Lumpur was phenomenal! I couldn’t resist myself from singing and dancing my heart out when the place was filled with R&B music, good sound system and professional MC from hitz.fm. Just that, my heels made all the moves hard to be made. I actually regretted for wearing my black with leopard prints heels to the event. I thought my legs can support my body from 7pm – 1am and I was wrong, terribly wrong. That’s where mum and bf’s advices make sense.
The concert started with the play from the DJs. Warm up.
What to do, heels have always become an icon for pretty look since many centuries ago. It has been conditioned into our minds. I’ve learned my lesson: Never wear heels to concert. Anyway, all we gotta do now is to appreciate this post and enjoy all the photos and video I took – for the worth of the numbness and muscles pain of my legs. what the egg =P
Here are some of the R&B artists whom I was able to capture. It is hard for me to snap night photo. So, here are my best shoots.
Besides Taio Cruz who are the main attraction of the event, Mizz Nina, Soler, DJ Skeletor, Prema Yin, Dragon Red and Kartel were there. They were awesome and bring ‘hotness’ to that night.
Calv and I both agree that Soler are handsome and charming, while Mizz Nina is hot with her voice and dance. Our hearts were stolen by them with their talents.
Mizz Nina’s performance – Sexy is my name. Sexy is my name
She was being interviewed by the hitz.fm DJs after the performance.
We cam-whore once in a while in between of performances.
My legs almost wanna break liao.. :(
The event ended after Taio Cruz performed his last song, Dynamite. Everyone was shouting his name, asking for anchor but… no more jor. It ended with all the artists lining on stage.
Calv who was already exhausted and dehydrated at the end of the performance. Same case with me. I was so thirsty and dying for water.
We couldn’t walked out from the crowds during the event because we were standing very close to the stage. We didn’t want to loss our perfect view, plus it’s already hard to move out. So, both of us fast for that 6 hours. It’s worth it for Taio Cruz and this video.
Must watch ok? You can feel how lively it was during the event. Everyone was singing together with him – including me! The aura.. it’s marvelous! Enjoy the clip =)
I am glad to see him as excited as I was. It was our first time attending live music event together and the experience was superb!
P/s: Again, thanks Churp Churp and Calv for the wonderful and memorable day~
P/s/s: I believe the real reason of my pure enjoyment of this event is because of the person I go with :)
