Busy Streak

    

dear kelly,

aint life wonderful? well, of course it is. though that's what i've been trying to tell myself lately. assignments have kept me on a busy streak, and overnighting more than once a week in the college lab for the past few weeks. we're all very busy with modeling and animating, rendering and drawing shadow projections. on top of that, there's the movie my group and i are shooting. the deadline is this week, so i'm keeping my fingers crossed till then. on the left is a little project i'm working on with a certain darling of mine. i'm really very ecstatic about it, i cant wait to see the final product. so for now this is just a little sneak peak ;)

so anyways, some recent college assignments. 

so ok, back to assignments :( ttyl kelly,

Beautiful Iran

Tehran - Qom - Kashan - Esfahan - Tehran

A journey that took us over 600km in 5 days. We journeyed from busy Tehran (the Kuala Lumpur to Malaysia, really), to the quainter, quieter and more artistic Esfahan. The journey via mini bus, consisted of 11 rowdy Malaysian tourists, 2 Iranian guides and a driver named Reza.

The place is a photographers' dream! This time round, I decided not to lug my camera along and to just Instagram everything. Seeing as how each of my siblings plus my dad will be doing most of the picture taking, I thought it was the more convenient thing to do. I did not snap that many pictures, but the ones I did sure made me happy. It was a truly enlightening trip.

Anyways, here are some of my favourite shots throughout.

So here's a little story about our driver, Reza. 

He speaks only one language, Farsi. One morning during breakfast, he sat opposite me and basically just smiled all by himself the whole time we were sitting there. Amidst conversation with the people next to him, he suddenly blurted "Macaroni!" and smiled. A few seconds later, "Spaghetti!"

For a while, the conversation centered around him and his craving for Italian food. The whole time, he smiled and looked at all of us as if he understood the conversation. It was only later on that I found out that he did not even know what 'macaroni' and 'spaghetti' meant. It was the only english words he knew and he said them to joined in our conversation. I guess he must've felt abit left out :(

My heart goes out to him. Bless him for trying so hard. 

I love the people there. They're all so friendly, and seem to be smiling all the time. Especially the old men who drink Chai and shisha in the afternoon. Such interesting things, such interesting people. 

Would love to travel more soon.

Vegas

Dear Kelly,
I drew this before I left for Iran a week ago.

I am back. So now I'm busy handling all the week worth of assignments on a very jet-lagged Sunday. Do wish me luck, won't you? I shall write more on my trip to the land of persia when the assignments don't look too intimidating.

Oh and look at what I found a few weeks ago! I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before, but the first person to ever call me Kelly was darling Medina. Before that, it was Alice and later on it became Kels, Kell, ShortiesWorldDotCom (courtesy of Jason) etc etc. I like to think of it as a mini evolution, keeping in sync with my phases in life. But of course, nothing stays closer to the heart than the original Khalis hehe ;) 

cheeky cheeky.
