I tried to write a post in Bahasa Melayu, but it took longer time than I thought for the ideas to emerge. Unfortunately, my English is a kindergarten level ( My previous lecture told me that). So, I have no choice but to write in English.
Today, I just rest under a tree, with two of my friends after zhuhur prayer. We were having a little chat, meanwhile waiting for the KIOSK( shops) to open. Surprisingly, the minature tree that barely kept us from glaring sun managed to provide a comfortable resting place. Honestly, my head is directly stroke by the heat of the sun. But , I only feel a fresh breeze of air not too hot, and not too cool. After a few minutes, it felt like I just having a good nap without closing my eyes. What a blessing from Allah. Alhamdulillah.
How a little thing can provide a very fresh and refreshing atmosphere. But not laptop, even a few minutes I feel trapped, constricted, I hate this virtual world but today this is the main tool for information. For me, this a proof that human cannot run from the fitrah. My mind has been set up to like the trees, rains, and all the beautiful things that Allah has created.
Art has make me more conscious about the beauty of nature. When I see something, I cannot stop but to admire how beautiful it is. Can you ever imagine world without colors?? how dull it is. Can you ever imagine world without light?? I am now learning to master pencil drawing techniques. My works are far of the mark, I cannot capture the awesome moment with my hands. The blending of the shadows, and the light rays and reflections. Too hard for me express this into my works.
