This #IIUMHogwartsSeries was actually taken during 2015. During that time, the sky and cuaca semua were great. Mungkin sebab belum PRU. Nevertheless, this project was started just for fun and just for me to challenge myself and find, the ‘sweet spot’ of IIUM’s beaut. I miss those feelings. The feelings where you just run around sleepless nights and wander on undiscovered happiness through the lens. Spread the words if you like what you see, okay? :) #iium #uiamgombak #iiumseries #ameernzmitumblr #kiubputihstudio

So since today is gonna be the last day for February's theme project on Insta, lemme just lay down some of misconceptions about wedding which I personally don't believe. 1. "Untunglah dah kahwin" -- Kalau tak kahwin, banyak je lagi benda best boleh buat. Go travel. Go try something new. Discover new places. Try solo backpacking. Try setup a business. Setup a social enterprise. Don't say like marriage is the final goal of your life. Marriage is just a beginning, of marriage life. Not your whole life. 2. "Satu lafaz tau!" -- I still don't get the problem with apa akan jadi kalau lebih dari satu lafaz. Is it the couple akan jadi kurang sayang antara satu sama lain? Is it hantaran akan naik harga tambah GST? Or takkan masuk syurga level atas ke cemana? 3. "Untunglah ada orang. Aku ni takde siapa nak." -- Jodoh ni rahsia Tuhan. Kalau dah namanya rahsia, rahsia Tuhan pulak tu, kenapa kita ni tak redha? Maknanya, benda tu akan datang TEPAT pada masanya. Dan cara nak tahu, adalah kau sendiri akan tahu perasaan tu. Kau akan ragu-ragu, ya, sebab tu fitrah manusia. Istikharah akan datang dan jawapan akan muncul. 4. "Aku tak ready lagi. Kau ada business. Lain..." -- Beb, kalau kau masih beralasan, itu maksudnya untuk apa-apa sekalipun, bukan setakat kahwin, tapi untuk hidup kau pun, kau masih belum ready.

They are not unlucky. Why judge the state of luckiness from the things we can't even decide when we were born to this world?

We always perceive life as something difficult, harsh and sometimes unfair. But actually, Honestly, It's just us. . . #styleblogger #streetphotographer #HypeBeast #lensculture #exploremore #lifestyleblog #thehappynow #storytelling #postthepeople #instapassport #aroundtheworldpix #ig_masterpiece #campinassp #flashesofdelight #travelog #mytinyatlas #visualmobs #theglobewanderer #forahappymoment #exploringtheglobe #ig_malaysia #igerskualalumpur #instakl #ilovekl #365malaysia #ig_kl #olympuscamera #olympusstreetphoto #getolympus #olympusinspired

Grab your camera. Go out. See. Three golden rules of learning photography. "It's not about the camera. It's about the person behind the lenses. If wondering about gears holds you back, then you're not actually doing photography. You're collecting gears." . I've learned by this method, for those who asked. From 2009 til now. No secrets, no hanky-pankies. Just experience. Photography. Photoshop. Illustrator. Video (dulu). Tak pernah attend satu kelas or seminar berbayar pun. Not to say that kelas-kelas tu tak bagus. Tak. Just, it's just my way to ride the journey. I learn more by doing. And i enjoy doing and learning from mistakes. (Sebenarnya sebab nak save duit. Youtube kan hado.) And if i can, you can too. (Just stay humble. Learn from mistakes. Learn from others.) #NeverStopLearning #NotAPhotographer #JustAnObserver #SeeMoreLearnMore #Fanzuru

Yang dahulunya sebuah ruangan ompong, kini telah terisi dengan deru angin yang membisik, menghidupkan kembali isi diri yang tidak lagi bernyawa. Langit dan bumi tidak lagi bercanda. Burung berkicau hanya satu lagu. Pelangi bukan lagi keindahan yang mewarna-warnikan hari. . Selamat hari hati, isi hati. Teruskan menari berpelukan dengan gemerlap bintang dilangit malam, berlari dan bersinar dengan mentari pagi.

Mungkin, Apa yang dieertikan dengan cinta itu adalah sesuatu yang tidak dapat digambarkan, hanya dapat dirasai.

Suatu perasaan yang sempurna, berselimutkan ketidaksempurnaan. Seperti sebuah lubang kosong yang terisi dengan satu jisim. Seperti perasaan yang kita terima, apabila kita menaruh penerimaan Atau menerima penghargaan. Walaupun satu sosok jiwa itu sedang dalam kesakitan, Dipijak dihenyak. Sekecil-kecil maaf, dan seenteng-enteng ucapan terima kasih, Tetapi mampu untuk membuat satu jiwa merasa dia sedang terapung, Kembali bangkit walaupun sebelumnya dia lemas dilautan, Dalam dunia yang tak mungkin memaafkan. Mungkin memang benar mitos itu, Manusia memang boleh terbang. Terima kasih, Diri sendiri.

Menari-nari dalam Unggun Api

Lain orang lain bahagiannya. Lain orang lain 'rahsia' daripadanya.

Ibarat Dia berkata pada setiap satu kita, "Ini untuk kamu. Kau rasakan lah. Dan itu untuk dia. Lihatlah."

Kemudian berkongsilah semua. Untuk menjadi satu.

-

Berbeza dengan hari ini.

Rahsia yang diterima semua masih berbeza. Tetapi, semua hendak merasa menang,

"Rahsia aku rahsia paling agung. Paling sakit. Paling nikmat."

Maka diletakkan salahnya itu pada makhluk-makhluk luar alami. Disalahkannya syaitan, iblis dan segala mak datuk nenek tali silaturahim ahli neraka. Padahal, dia-lah tukang hembus apinya.

Along the Orbital Coastline

Like the stars, I wish to be. To shine upon the farthest point of the Galaxy, for others to see clearer for sailors to navigate the sea better for astronomers to predict the future Although, I might be misunderstood, As a small object Or as an insignificant creature Or as an unidentified and will forever be unknown to the world Although, I might be claimed by the world as a thief for stealing the lights from the Sun, Or might be said by an observer that I am impossible to be close with, Or even might be misunderstood by everyone and claimed to be a fake planet; I still wishes to be it.

Like the stars, They shine, not for them. But to be free. And because they are free.

“Berperang pada suatu pagi atau petang di jalan Allah, adalah lebih baik dari satu dunia dan seisinya.”

Alangkah indahnya dunia, Jika semua yang berkata-kata dapat bantu merasa, Yang diatas bersama dibawah, Yang dibawah tidak membenci diatas. Alangkah indahnya. Inilah dia saudara-saudara yang kalian lupa. Yang banyak memberi jasa, Tanpa kota bandaraya sedar pun, Betapa ruginya mereka, Tanpa wujudnya dia.

Melihat

Jika mahu dilihat orang yang kaya, Lihat pada cara ditinggalkan biliknya. Pasti menyala apinya. Jika mahu dilihat orang yang menjaga kebersihan, Lihat pada bila ditinggalkan bilik air. Dipam atau tidak penghasilannya. Jika mahu dilihat pada orang yang rajin, Lihat pada tempat tidurnya di waktu pagi. Tersusun rapi atau dibiarkan seperti reban.

Jika mahu dilihat pentingnya masa dia, Lihat pada cara dia menjamah makanannya. Berpencak atau dikunyah sehingga lumat. Jika mahu dilihat kemampuan dia untuk menepati janji, Lihat pada ketepatan masanya untuk tiba ke satu temujanji. Lihat juga pada alasan yang diberi jika terlajak janji. Jika mahu dilihat gilanya dia terhadap sesuatu, Lihat betapa besar biji matanya apabila dia berkata-kata. Lihat jugak bagaimana hebat bah yang hadir jika ia gagal mendapatkannya. Jika mahu dilihat sisi buruknya, Letakkan dia bersama budak kecil. Uji dia dengan kesabaran menuntun seorang makhluk suci.

Jika mahu dilihat sisi baiknya, Lepaskan dia dan intai apa yang dilakukannya ketika bersendirian. Antara dia masih berpegang pada prinsip diri atau hilang topeng muka-muka nya sendiri. Jika mahu dilihat ketinggian ilmunya, Lihat rak buku-bukunya dan cara ia berkata-kata. Lebih tinggi ilmu, lebih tinggi cara ia berbudi.

Jika mahu dilihat penyayangnya dia, Lihat kelakuannya pada haiwan jalanan dan pengemis. Adakah dia akan menyayanginya di kaki atau di hati.

Jika mahu dibongkarkan lakon layarnya, Lihat matanya ketika berbicara. Sudut pandangnya akan menjerit sesuatu yang tidak dibibir.

Jika mahu dilihat adabnya, Lihat cara dia melayan orang tua dan kebersihan diri. Adab bermula dengan menjaga diri dan orang yang tidak meminta apa-apa dari kita.

Jika mahu dilihat matangnya dia, Lihat caranya mengawal amarah ketika ia dicabar. Antara membenamkan amarah atau melawan dengan akal.

Jika mahu dilihat jujurnya dia, Dengarkan ketenangannya ketika menjelaskan. Ketenangan cuma datang apabila hati paling terkedepan.

Dan akhir, Jika mahu dilihat keikhlasannya, Lihat pada pengharapannya pada masa depan. Matanya, hatinya, lidahnya. Semua terpegang tangan ketika masa depan yang ikhlas menjadi taruhan.

It has been a wonderful year -- 2016.

Ups and downs. Yet, it ended beautifully.

It has been good.

We plan. Yet verily, Allah is the best planner.

[ameernzmi]

The essence of commitment is sacrifice.

You never say you’ve achieved something, when you haven’t sacrificed anything.

You don’t say everything is gonna be fine and you’re gonna make it fine. There. Are. Always. Things. That. Needs. To. Be. Sacrificed. In order to gain something.

You might not notice. Your friends might’ve hurt. Might’ve felt like you’re abandoning them. Like you’re no longer a part of ‘the clique’. When all you did was working hard to get good results.

You might not notice. Your travel buddies have found another partner. Another travel mate. Another hiking mate. Because they thought “you’re no longer has passion in this.”. When all you did was focusing on earning money for your families needs and pocket money.

You might not notice this. That your families, lovers and close friends are no longer your frequent contact list in your daily activities. And they all assumed you were too busy enjoying and having fun with your life. When all you did was just isolating yourself to focus on your life project that will make all of them happy.

You might not notice this too. That they all were right on one thing--

You’ve changed.

But they surely not notice this;

That they haven’t changed. And that’s not a good sign -- if they knew.

Persevere, brave hearts. Those who doesn’t want to understand, wouldn’t understand. Those who tried, will. And the only one who can kill the will of a lion, is the lion.

Zenith’s Parallax

It has been ages since.

I have always remembered how it was, waiting for her to come back from her shifts. It was always 10 o’clock at night. A slight late of 30 minutes or so was permissible, always. And I’d be there, waiting.

I’d stay and wait. Stood idly before the classic old Chinese designed windows. I’d be ready to open the gates anytime soon.

Your old Honda headlights shined through the dark empty roads. That feeling, bursting inside of me. That childish part of me, like any other child; Happy. You came back from your duties and without any slight look of fatigue, you were there. Right there. For everyone.

That moment.

I still remember. You will always bring back packed foods. Sometimes two, sometimes one, very seldom none. But it will still be enough. At that time.

At that time, it was just us. Most of the time. Everybody else were sound asleep.

The foods were always a star. Pak Haji’s cookings were top-notch. It will always either Mee Bandung, Kuey Teow Kungfu, or Kuey Teow Goreng. Our common favorites.

We ate, silently. When the rest were sleeping. And we made sure we made no echoes nor any odors to escape the living room. Just so we can enjoy the meals for only ourselves.

And when it’s barely enough, you passed it to me, saying that I had to eat. And you told me you were already full. While I knew, you only took a bite. From that (I thought) I learned the importance of finishing any meals. Not wasting any leftovers. And by that way, somehow, i thought, it’s one of the many duties of men.

And for that, I haven’t thanked you.

Thank. You. For those.

-----

But now, Everything is so messed up.

And you were not, Not what you were.

You’re a parallax, now. When you could be a Zenith.
