Bottle : With Fujifilm XT10

Bottle. Only if we knew how beautiful it is under the sea. The life - such as fishes and coral reefs, it is a majestic underworld of the sea. It is like you step into a different world, scary yet amazing. The blue greenish of ocean colours, the warmness and coldness of sea water at the same time and the fishes swimming freely make you forget about everything and appreciated for everything with what you have and experienced.

Over the Scattered Sky : with Fujifilm XT10

Over the Scattered Sky. This was taken when I went to outstation to Kota Kinabalu for thousand times. This is where the famous beach located in Sabah, Pantai Tanjung Aru. My last time visit to Pantai Tanjung Aru was 15 years ago and it was when I was 12 years old. Such an attraction to the tourists and when I am taking this picture, you can see lots of tourist from Korea. This is the kind of view that will help to soothe the tired souls. You can just sit down and enjoy the view. The winds are salty, the waves are rough and the sky is calming. What else do you want? At this moment, I prefer to sit and read book for hours. Just my kind of short vacation.

named after name..

how do you take if your name is after your father's name? What happen if I were named after my father? I will be called,

Muhammad Said bin Muhammad Said.

How weird would it be? This is what I am asking when I read Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt. 

Fujifilm XT10

I owned a Fujifilm XT10 and I bought it last year. So far, I have captured so many pictures and I guess I should share it here. It is just another thing that I did when I travelled or feel like not to read. Here, I want to introduce you to two of my favorites kids in the world. Izz Mia Medina and Izz Rayyan Rayqarl. When I went back to my hometown, I always wanted to capture their pictures. They are adorable, don't you think?

A Happy Ending

I believe that everyone love a happy ending. No matter in books or movies, all of us always root for the happy ending. I just finished a book with a happy ending, but different with what I have imagined of. The happy ending in the movie is so much better as compared with the book that I just finished today. Is there a happy ending when in the end, everyone is dead, then you miss all your families, then your old home and everything. I know that it is more to reality in our life but still, people expect a better happy ending. Don't you think so?

bibliophile

The meaning for someone who loves books.

Just up to the day, I have read 169 books roughly.
Currently, I have read about 48 books already for this year. Just another 52 books before the end of the year 2016.

Current reading:
1) The Hunder-Foot Journey by Richard C. Morais
2) Antwerp - Roberto Bolano

I read two books at the same time, just in case I feel bored with the other - so I can read other.

Then, the longest book I have read is Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy with 960 pages.
