Jobless Day 11

Nothing much on work progress on my art projects today as I accompanied family for family outings. But still managed to have time completed editing a series of old photos which taken months ago.
And still, I have to remember to be grateful every time I write a post as I just practising to have gratitude.

I am grateful that we have spend a day off family outing although didn't manage to get home and keep our washed clothes inside the house before the rain. I am grateful that at least the clothes are hanging under the roof so it didn't get wet but just humid cold and not fully dry. I am grateful to have chance went to big book store and bought my favourite magazines. I am grateful to have a dad to fetch us to book store mainly helped sister to buy her book. I am grateful that I got to visit my uncle who stayed far away from my house.

I wish everyone have a good Dewali/ Deepavali and bless you all. =)

This is one of the photos I edited today, do check out the full series of the photos at here:

Jobless Day 10

Yesterday is just another normal jobless day of me, but "jobless" doesn't mean I am not working on anything but just laying somewhere slacking haha. I am just working something that isn't get paid temporary.

I just woke up with empty stomach and prepared my breakfast which is salad for today. But I just decided to write a post for yesterday just to keep on track.

I just done a minor surgery yesterday on my face which is removing a cyst bump on my face. I just did some research on this clinic online  called Laco Clinic and went to their website and it seems trustworthy and safe to me so I went. But for a jobless guy like me, doing this surgery is painful to my wallet as it cost originally RM1,000 as basic surgery cost. Of course, I did negotiate the price to them by being honest telling them that I just fresh graduated on October and jobless.

But before I decided to do this, I have tried acupuncture treatment to cure the bump on my face and also treat my hives. In the end, it seems not really curing as it sometimes did reduce the bump but will get back to original size as well. And I strongly believe that is the lifestyle that will affects my health cause my hives and acupuncture is a treatment to strengthen my immune system but if I did not try to adapt the healthy lifestyle or habits, I personally think I will be forever doing acupuncture.

Anyway, I finally get to see a sneak peak of the photos Mei Fern photographed on Sunday.

Jobless day 7,8 &9

Jobless Day 7

On the 7th day, I move myself away from my projects a while and help out my new friend and also a female photographer, Mei Fern. Met her at Model Mayhem website and we somehow get to work together smoothly. This was my second time meeting her and being an assistant /helper for her photoshoot. I treat this as not only an opportunity to build a network or make a new friend who shares the same interests with me, but also an experience to participate in a photography session as a different role. Thus, I am able to not only grasp clear image and knowledge of how the whole photo shoot session process  and also being an helper to any brave dream chaser who started up with nothing as I admire this kind of spirit that is within her because I also chasing a dream.

Today the location took place indoor, an empty house. The concept she planned to do is blue, calm, icy, dry kind of mood with a few different dresses and styling on the model, from black swan to gothic rock star, from edgy to bohemian witchy feel.

Dilara Aydyn, the model and also an international student studying here. Mei Fern doing the makeup on her face.

While waiting her preparation on styling the model, I snapped some photos of the things she had prepared and the things she brought along.

I realized this picture have a juxtaposition between an old fan and a modern laptop. =)

Something I tried with snap with a bubble wrap as filter of the lens and it gave an icy, cold, hazy effects.

Jobless Day 5 & 6

Have been making salads for breakfast last 2 days and today. Eating two eggs, but only ate one egg yolk for the last 2 days and today eating 3 eggs  and one egg yolk, the rest are egg white only. Last two days have been eating oat flakes with dried fruits with milk for tea time between lunch and dinner. Hitting to the gym four days a week. I just hope I am not wasting time and money investing on my body that is not seeing better results yet. I was little worry since I am jobless now and busy thinking and preparing my other blogs to put up my artworks. =)

Yesterday I have followed my dad to service my car and sister's car. It has been a long time I have not help out dad doing things like these other than doing housekeeping works and I felt happy that I can help out after such a  long while. Thus, I ended up spent lesser time yesterday on the design I am working for my another blog's wallpaper. Here's an image of the header.

Jobless Day 4

Finally I got the chance to work with Ad, the photographer today as previously cancelled on yesterday photography session. This is only one of the quick edit photo done by him. I am excited to see the photos of me wearing his handmade pauldron which I think is cool.

I think his talent shouldn't be wasted and need to get to know some makeup artists as his working partners or friends so in future can create greater impact. I also do hope we get the chance to work on some artsy projects or handcraft.

Ad is a talented busy costume clothes maker or you can say he is the tailor that create the imaginary, fictional costumes.

Today I am grateful that I get to work with new photographer and get to try costume theme.  I grateful that I have completed my blog's new header although I am not sure does it matches my background still, a lot of things to find out and learn.

I am thankful today I did spent it usefully.
