Pride got home and skipped into the living room, a tiny shopping bag dangling from his fingers. He found Justice sitting on the couch, reading a book with his fake glasses on. There was no time for that.

“Jus-tice,” he sang. He slipped the book out of his hands and set it aside. Justice sputtered a protest, trying to grab it back, but Pride replaced it by sitting in his lap. “I’m home.”

“Yes,” Justice said, laughing tiredly, “I can see tha—mmg?”

Pride interrupted him with a kiss. It was far deeper than any standard “welcome home” greeting, but he couldn’t help it. He pushed Justice’s fake glasses up his forehead and devoured him, pressing forward into his chest. Confused, all Justice could do was return it, mouthing back at his lips. Pride popped off as soon as he’d begun, grinning fiercely.

“Wh-why?” Justice stammered, catching his breath.

“I bought something for you,” Pride said. He jiggled the little shopping bag around.

“Thank you, that’s so sweet of you.”

“I know.” He tossed the bag aside. “I’m so sweet, I already put it on.”

Pride peeled his shirt off and watched Justice go from baffled to stunned in real time. “Oh,” he said, eyes transfixed on the new jewelry dangling from Pride’s chest.

Two golden barbells sat snug against his nipples, with a long, thin chain connecting them in an arc. It jostled against his skin when he wiggled around to show it off. The tiny round ends caught the light of Justice’s halo, winking at him. Pride could sit here all day, but he wouldn’t.

“You can touch,” he purred, sliding Justice’s hands up his body.

Justice glanced at him, shocked and hopeful, then back down. Cautious fingers brushed over the barbells. He traced the golden chain to the other side, brushing a thumb over the nipple. Pride sighed hotly, not-so-secretly excited for this. When he saw this set on display, he knew he needed it—he and Justice both. It felt so nice to be proven right.

“They’re beautiful,” Justice said, forced to catch his breath again.

“They’re for you,” Pride said. He leaned in to kiss his cheek. “I know how much you like when I dress up your favorite toys.”

Justice shuddered and lust wafted onto his tongue, flowery and sweet. Pride kissed a short line to his mouth, picking up the kiss right where they left off. This time, Justice joined him eagerly, with an added twist—literally.

He rolled barbells and Pride groaned into his mouth. The snug metal bar pressed into his soft nipples, quickly hardening under the attention. Justice gave each one a gentle twist, holding them in place. Pride whined for more, urging him on with a deeper kiss.

Emboldened, Justice pinched and rubbed and flicked his stiff nipples. He gave Pride a dizzying amount of attention all at once, drawing out soft moans with every turn. Hot sparks chased each other up his nerves, all stemming from his chest and the restless fingers there. Pride pushed into his hands, chain jostling against him.

Seizing an opportunity, Justice twisted his fingers in the chain and tugged it. Pride moaned into his face, fully breaking the kiss. He pulled the chain down and pushed a nipple up against the force of it, flicking it over and over with his thumb. Whining so brokenly he was almost embarrassed, Pride rocked in his lap, more than a little wet now.

”A-are you trying to make me come like this?” he breathed.

“Not on purpose,” Justice promised, “but I guess it wouldn’t be too hard.”

Pride stopped moving. He made Justice put his arms down. “And what is that supposed to mean?”

“Nothing? I’ve just noticed that when we start foreplay here”—he passed over a nipple gently—"you tend to finish a little faster.”

“Um, need I remind you that I gave you the first orgasm of your entire life?”

“Because it means that you come for me every time I do this.” Pride pressed his mouth close to his ear. “Are you gonna come, Justice? Are you gonna be a good boy and come?” The soft flavor lust instantly spiked, and Pride felt something else spike underneath him.

“What does that have to do with anything I said?”

“Th-that’s different,” Justice stuttered, trying to regain his composure. “You only do that when we’re in the middle of sex.”

“So your magical orgasm techniques count, but mine don’t?”

“I’m not saying it’s magic—I’m just saying it wouldn’t be too hard to make you come with only nipple play.”

“Oh, please. As long as you have something up your ass, I don’t even have to touch you.”

“That’s ridiculous.”

“Is it?”

They stared each other down, eyes narrowed. There was only one way this could be settled.

“Bet,” Pride challenged.

“You’re on,” Justice agreed.

From there, they jumped off the couch and raced to the bedroom. All of foreplay was spent negotiating the terms of the bet, which was perfectly sexy in Pride’s opinion, although Justice did tell him to “shut up about the logistics” while fingering him open. It didn’t matter. What mattered was this was a competition and Pride was going to win.

He ended up on his back, harness fitted with a dildo, and his arms cuffed to the bedframe to make sure he truly couldn’t touch Justice. On top, Justice rode the strap-on to give himself plenty of access to Pride’s chest, golden jewelry tugged and twisted under his fingers. This sex was strictly business, only drawing out moans and gasps as a formality.

It was the only time that Pride was determined not to orgasm. He gnawed his lip, trying to ignore his aching wet cunt, and the pleasure zapping his nerves from the hot pinches and flicks Justice gave his nipples. Pride drove all his energy and focus into thrusting, snapping his hips against Justice ass.

Justice rocked on his strap, keeping a cleaner composure than Pride thought was possible. Channeling centuries of serving in God’s army, Justice zeroed in on the nipples under his hands, and attacked like it was his sole duty. It was like he filled himself to the hilt because he could, taking every hard thrust Pride gave him with only a grunt in response.

“Have you,” Pride accused, “been faking all your cute moans this whole time?”

“No way,” Justice said, almost laughing. “I’m trying—very hard right now.”

“Wow, that sounds tough.” He bucked again. “Maybe you should relax a little.”

“Not a chance.”

He twisted Pride’s nipples hard, drawing out a long moan. Pride struggled against the leather cuffs, chains clattering against the headboard.

“I think you should relax,” Justice retorted.

“And deprive you of your playthings? Never.”

Pride rolled his hips and must have hit a good spot. Justice’s careful poise cracked, and he moaned pressing his hands flat against Pride’s chest. He jostled around, hoping to make Justice ride him harder. Not having his hands free sucked.

“I can do this all day,” he lied.

“So can I,” Justice panted.

“Yeah, right.” Pride gave him short, little thrusts. “We both know you’re as horny for my fancy new studs as I am.”

Justice puffed, ignoring it. But when he tangled his fingers in the golden chain, his breath got shaky. Pride pushed his hips up harder, driving into his ass, and watching his neglected cock bounce from the effort.

“The whole reason this started,” he continued, “was because you couldn’t stop playing with me.”

A hard pinch knocked the air out of him for a few seconds, Justice fighting back strategically. He rubbed Pride’s nipples in hard circles, pressing them against the barbells. Fingers wrapped in the chain, he tugged it, pulling the puffy red nubs in any direction he pleased.

“F-fuck,” Pride hissed, snapping his hips on instinct. Justice gasped, and he pounced on the opportunity. “See? You just have to have your little toys, don’t you?”

Finally giving in, he bounced on the strap. And not a second too soon—Pride felt his gut tighten and his poor, overworked nipples tingled and stung from pleasure.

“Maybe if you get bored, I can get my clit pierced. Give you something else to play with.”

Justice froze. Lips folded tight together, he clenched every muscle. Between his legs, cum dribbled out of his cock and down his shaft. Pride grinned, triumphant.

“Yeah, you like that?” he teased. “You want a new toy, baby?”

With a whimper, Justice let himself come. He gripped the sheets in his fists and moaned, cock spurting weak strips of cum. When he was done, he pulled himself up off the strap, and collapsed on Pride’s shoulder. Pride basked in it, enjoying his victory.

“I win,” he declared. “So that means th-tha—hah—”

The rest of his sentence got strangled out of him. Justice slinked down and sucked his nipple, fingers toying with the other. Pride was caught between being licked and pinched, a hot tongue flicking the barbell. His body ached and screamed for release, stimulation drawn to a hard peak.

“Fuck you,” Pride gasped as he came, painting his trunks with another pool of wetness.

Justice giggled thickly, kissing a line up his neck. “I win too.”

2 weeks after (21.04.2023-3rd day raya)

So, dah dkt 2 minggu sejak kitaorg balik ke UK.

Oh before that, Selamat Hari Raya semua.

May you all have a great Raya celebration with your loved ones.

So,now kitaorg dah fully adjust dgn life di sini.

Alhamdulillah, anak aku dah takde nangis2 nk ke pintu or buat sedih.Rasanya dia dah start to lupa life di Malaysia aritu. And dia pun dah sihat.

So, aku kerja macam biasa and honestly aku suka kerja masa bulan puasa sbb lebih relax and tenang.

Cuma sadly aku penat sikit puasa ni sbb setiap hari masa sahur akan awal 2 minit drp hari sebelum and masa berbuka pula akan lewat 2 minit drp hari sebelum..

Masa hari last puasa, imsak pukul 4.23am and berbuka dkt 8.30pm..mmg jem la perut tahan lapar.

Raya kali ni sama je macam tahun lepas. Hambar,sunyi & terasing.

Macam biasa pagi raya kami solat dkt Masjid and lepas tu pergi park utk photoshoot.

Aku masak rendang ayam, kuah kacang and lontong for raya with instant nasi impit and instant ketupat palas.

So lepas sesi bergambar and makan, tu je la raya kami.

Raya ke 2 kami keluar pergi museum tgk rangka dinosaur..haha lol.

Mmg pathetic and lonely kan..tp aku okay.

Last year pun mcm ni jugak tp this year sbb kitaorg baru balik Malaysia so xdelah sedih sgt.

Sepatutnya masa ni la kita patut pergi jumpa kawan2 Malaysian2 buat makan2 gathering.

Tapikan, kitaorg xde sape pun jemput..haha..

Ada la 1 akak ni jemput masa sembahyang raya tapi lepas tgk alamat dia...hurmmm 50 minit kalau naik bus and dia ckp kalau nk dtg kena dtg sebelum 11am sbb 11am is for neighbours..and dia xbg pun number phone dia..nama dia pun aku xtau siapa...lol..so, husband aku ckp xpelah. Xyah lah pergi.

Ptg raya tu aku mcm sedih jugak la and wondering nape la aku & husband kera sumbang sgt..tak mix around dgn malaysians kat sini.

First point adalah kitaorg stay jauh drp area Malaysians yang lain. Area kami duduk ni org ckp posh area and Mat Salleh je duduk sini.Orang Malaysia xde sbb area ni mahal.Mana la aku tau.Aku stay sini sbb office aku dkt area sini.

Secondly, we dont have car. So susah nk bergerak.(but ni not a solid reason pun)

Thirdly, aku rasa kami laki bini ni introvert..malas nak bergaul..we choose friends and sbb tu xramai kawan.Husband aku yg ramai kawan dgn Malaysia,dekat UK ni aku je la kawan dia..sbbnya dia nak focus study dia. And kawan aku pulak is officemate aku pak mak Arab.

And aku perasan masa mega raya gathering last year, jumpa la all Malaysians..sembang2, amek number phone pastu senyap...lol...kalau u jenis havoc, jenis active baru orang ramai kenal and jemput u..kalau senyap je mmg orang akan lupa.

So, xpelah mmg la sedih tgk orang lain beraya sampai 10 rumah and kitaorg 1 pun xde but takpelah, tak lama pun kami kat sini.

And the best part aku rasa happy sbb aku dah berjaya rasa comfortable bila we are just all by ourselves.Meaning, we can survive this.

And today dkt office aku ada organise Eid Fun Day. So, aku bwk anak aku mingle dgn kids lain walaupun berlainan bangsa. Seronok. As usual, xde Malaysians tadi..lol.

And tomorrow, my Arabic lady boss ajak aku tolong masak dgn dia sbb dia nk buat makan2 dkt Masjid. Excited aku sbb ada jugak orang 'cari' aku.

Guess aku lebih rapat dgn these Arabic people berbanding Malaysians sendiri..hihi

So, aku tgh plan Raya Haji ni maybe aku patut travel. Either travel or hambar lagi mcm now.

TITLE ⟶ Discussion of Nouveau

SUMMARY ⟶ The CEO of TBR Agency decided to inform the new unit's leader of what will happen next after the new unit was made public, as well as to confirm the members' duties in the group.

ERA ⟶ 2021, June

CHARACTERS ⟶ Ahn Eunhee (The Bloody Roses), LIZZY / Lee Hana Elizabeth (NOUVEAU)

AUTHOR’S NOTE/WARNINGS ⟶ Mention of trafficking case and Yerina of The Bloody Roses. It’s been a while.

Hana doesn’t know why she feels this way; she was in fact nervous.

She has always seen Ahn Eunhee around the corridors of her old agency, them being friends way before Eunhee had decided to make her own agency. Hana and Eunhee have been friends since their trainee days – when they were still under MMG.

Somehow, she received a call from Eunhee herself if Hana wanted to join her agency – with Eunhee arranging a private meeting with only her and Hana about the contract. With what Eunhee offered and what Hana had reconfirmed, Hana agreed.

All Hana could say is that, in the contact that was given by Eunhee; it was much more pleasing compared to MMG. Scratch that, Eunhee was much more understanding of the contract. MMG was far more not understanding.

Now, she is sitting in the meeting room of the TBR Agency building; waiting for Eunhee as she received a direct message from Eunhee herself to meet her – the CEO didn’t say much but she just texted Hana to meet there.

Hana was scrolling through her phone and saw the groupchat of the team name NOUVEAU – which was the new unit name, and of course in the groupchat was the members themselve. She couldn't help but smile a little. The first time she met them was actually after they had their first video call – yes, before they met, Eunhee had actually added all of them into this video call where all the members were present, except for one.

And the fact that all of them weren't aware about each others’ presence in the groupchat actually shocked all of the members. It was exciting actually, to Hana. It was actually the first time she spoke to some of them; the only person Hana had spoken to was Yeonwoo since they were family-friends.

Hana wasn’t supposed to be surprised but she can’t help it; the girls are all so young, all were younger than her. But thankfully they somehow had the same maturity level as hers – she could tell when they met for the first time, it was the first time that Hana had seen Olivia.

Someone that Hana had heard so much from Eunhee, since Olivia is important to the agency on finding the number one case that the The Bloody Roses’ girls are finding for; NROVERO. All Hana could say is that Olivia is very introverted at first, but opened up the more they saw each other and had small talks in the agency building.

As she was scrolling through the chat group, that’s when she heard clicking sounds of heels – she looked up to see Eunhee walking in with her laptop. Hana quickly stood up in respect.

Eunhee groans as she puts down the laptop. “Stop it, Lizzy. We are way past that.” She jokingly roll her eyes, earning a teasing smile from Hana herself – though Eunhee was older than her, they already made the decision to treat each other as friends – with Eunhee not wanting Hana to call her ‘eonnie’, this was discussed way back when they were just trainees.

“How’s work?” Hana looked at Eunhee’s expression that showed pure tiredness – hearing the other girl sighing as she pulled her chair closer towards the table with Eunhee resting her arms on the table.

“Terrible.” Eunhee shakes her hea, “Lots of meetings with companies that wanted us to sign with them.” She sighs, “...and regarding the on-going case we decided to help NIS on.”

Hana knew which case Eunhee was talking about – she had actually seen Eunhee’s team, The Bloody Roses’ girls staying up all night on this particular case that needs them to be in front of their laptops 24/7. “The chat-trafficking case.”

The CEO nodded as her expression showed a sudden smile – now remembering why she had called Hana.

“Right! Back to the topic of why I call you here.” Eunhee raised a brow – Hana was kind of taken aback on how Eunhee went into ‘work’ mode, different compared to how she was a few seconds ago. She sounded tired and just not her casual self. Now she was already on her laptop – eyes move left and right on her laptop screen, before moving towards Hana.

“I have discussed with the rest on NOUVEAU's future’s schedule.” She added, “NOUVEAU will be guarding NCT….” Eunhee raised a brow towards Hana who was slowly nodding.

“..and I assume we will be scheduled with the three of the groups..” Hana trailed off – with Eunhee giving her a nod. “Yes, that’s the instruction I was given for now.” Eunhee then proceeds on telling Hana about all the girls’ roles in the group.

To summarise them, all of them are required in guarding NCT but Lizzy and Yina would 80% be stationed in TBR Agency since they are more advanced in administrative and technical skills – hence they are the Technical Team.

Noelle, Olivia, Alissa and Yeon would be the Public & Dispatch Team, where they would frequently be out spotted to guard NCT members compared to Lizzy and Yina.

Each one of them has roles to play.

“Oh, I forgot to mention that Yerina would be guiding all of you when it comes to handling overseas schedules.” Eunhee smiled a little as she closed her laptop. “She and Olivia approached me regarding this.”

Hana wanted to ask more but she knew that asking Olivia straightforwardly would be ideal so she could only agree for now.

“Any questions?” Eunhee gave her a teasing side eye, with Hana chuckling as she shook her head.

Hana was excited – she spent weeks in the gym room where she trained herself. She had asked the other members but most of them had their own fair share of schedules. Two of NOUVEAU members were not even in Korea right now – they were preparing themselves to move back to Korea as they spoke right now.

Speaking of moving, Hana’s family too had completely moved to Korea a few weeks ago from the U.K. It was good timing since her other family members had work in Korea.

“Your first schedule will be sent out next week.” Eunhee told her simply as they were standing up from their seats.

As Hana and Eunhee were walking out of the meeting room with the two girls who were catching up with each others’ life that wasn’t related to work, Eunhee’s phone rang.

Hana saw Eunhee’s face expression change the moment she picked up the call – with Eunhee’s eyes meeting Hana’s slightly concerned ones. She could hear the end of the caller’s voice – whoever the caller is, he or she sounds urgent since the voice was slightly loud.

“Yeah, okay……. I’ll ask them. Bye.” With that Eunhee ends the call and her expression changes into a serious one.

“About your schedule that will be sent next week… let’s bring it forward to today.”

ALL THAT’S FIT TO DJGITALLY SPIT

ENTRY00016 / OCT 27, 2022 / DJGCDETC. (Music Packages, 1997-2022)

Soaking the bulk of this year, the latest DJG archival monograph is now available for purchase at the online self-publishing store. Clocking in at a portly 220 pages, DJGCDETC. is a comprehensive and detailed journey through the vault of various music packages (CD-Tape-Vinyl-Digital) created and carved out from the years 1997 to 2022.

Preview This Book | More Books

Side Note: As with my poetry collections (2015 & 2020) and poster books (2021), I tried to keep the production and selling costs of DJGCDETC. as affordable as I can, and without sacrificing any of the core content (other than writing essays for various projects, which I may simply produce as blog content to bore you at some point). I even considered releasing this book in several volumes, but decided on just one big one. For the record (pun intended) I self-publish everything, have to buy my own book(s), and receive less than a dollar for each item sold. (Be sure to look for coupons online!)

DJGCDETC. - Book Forward (Photo: MMG, 2008)

It can be as much a mystery to what makes a great marriage between visual art and music as it is to what artist or band actually gets "seen" or "heard." This magical fusion first thumped me as a small child with the apple on records by The Beatles. As a young designer later on, my sleeves skipped stones of creative influence ranging from the likes of Stanley Donwood, Vaughan Oliver, Peter Saville, Stefan Sagmeister, Art Chantry, Saul Bass and Push Pin Studio. In many of the cases herein, I can't say which came first, the visuals or the music. A lot of times I just followed my gut before even listening to or knowing much about the musician or band. There were times an idea would instantly appear fully to me, then I'd get to work. Other times a friend would say I should make something for "so and so's band," and then I would. Some were far more labor-intensive, "Big Gulp" projects. Other times it was a fun excuse to spend an evening or several. And in a few cases to eat junk food and inhale paint fumes. A bit of think ... mostly a lot of make. Even the ones that barely made deadline or had to be coerced out of corners hold a special anchor in my timeline - when I was creatively responsible with many a CD design for Kansas City, MO musicians (on a meager budget), as well as a handful on other shores. This collection of various music packages, initial sketches, stages and steps, multiple drafts and production, is arranged by preferred aesthetic, style and subject. Pleased to be included are a handful of handmade items cut from the cloth of high school and design school (1997-2001); others cut from the backs of everyday scraps; some that were cut and scrapped entirely; and finally a few on the cut path since swapping DESIGN for ART in 2011. The ETC. in the book title simply stands for everything else: vinyl record and tape projects, plus the slimmer visual footprints of digital singles. (There's even a long lost DVD package.) All are equally important in my development and trade as an artist at every stage. I'm as pleased with the outcomes just the same, no matter how ambitious the directional ebb and flow my interests and paths of exploration, excitement and expectation took me and others the last quarter-century. That being said, per closeness I can't fairly say each result is successful, nor flattering this far removed. There are certain designs that feel dated, flopped entirely or simply don't stick. I can also tell when I was out of gas, way off, or went for broke on an idea (broke is the keyword). Certain fruits of my labors are still bruised as the printer (most cases myself) botched the final design, or in other instances projects painted me into corners, or simply turned a corner without me. Yet all were a lot of fun (and a little stressful) trying to get there - into eventual eyes, hands and ears ... perhaps even onto shelves, under car seats, storage spaces and secondhand bins. Daily routine, process and my own private artistic journey is everything to me. It's also rewarding to see a stack of progress, and to share it freely. Even more, making friends because of it and finding my art buried in local shops and closets. Thanks to those who allowed and assisted me in putting sight to sound in our little plot of the underground.

-DJG, 2022

Haven DVD commentaries; 5.13 - Chosen

Commentary with Gabrielle Stanton and Matt McGuiness (and another brief appearance by Assistant Josh) [Josh’s surname isn’t mentioned in any of these but from a brief googling I assume this is Josh Brandon]

MMG: Welcome to the commentary for the final episode of season five, the name of which escapes me right now GS: It’s called Chosen. It’s been, how many months since we shot this? MMG: Oh, seven or eight months maybe. GS: Yeah so we might just fall silent, like; Wow I forgot about this! MMG: I’m already mesmerised by how good our show looks. I really think it looks so good. We’re picking up here directly after the last episode, and this is a real jaw dropping moment [Charlotte revealing that she’s Mara’s mother] GS: We’re kind of hoping that no one saw this coming. If all went well no one did. I know Adam certainly didn’t see it coming. MMG: This was fun for us with Adam Copeland because, fans will know that Adam was a wrestler, and we’ve sort of watching him matriculate as an actor on Haven. And now, I remember saying to him that he was going to get to do all sorts of new and interesting things. I never said to him that he was going to get to find out that the woman you’re sleeping with comes from another dimension. GS: No. We said ‘love interest’ but then I think we kept it a little vague after that. MMG: And we didn’t tell him what was going to happen with his love interest. And he played it great.

[On screen Charlotte is talking about microscopes as a metaphor for this world and hers being different and separate] MMG: There’s one of the two microscopes. I was not thrilled with those microscope choices. Put them a little closer together, perhaps. We were not there for this episode. A lot of times we go up to Canada when we shoot these, which is super fun. It’s like going to camp, seeing everybody and running around, but for this episode we were furiously writing. GS: I think we were already writing the premiere of the next season. MMG: Yeah, so we couldn’t go up. GS: I thought Laura [as Charlotte] played this whole thing very well. MMG: She was great.

[As we see Duke deep in thought outside the Gull] GS: Oh this was kind of cool. Obviously finales often set up a whole bunch of stuff for the up coming season, but this finale in particular set up a lot of stuff to come back to in the next season. MMG: I really like this scene. This is one of those scenes that I like because it manages to be horrific and kind of gory in a way, but if you are twisted like I am, it sort of makes me giggle a little bit too. My buddy Chris makes his own Kaluha. GS: I didn’t even know you could. MMG: It’s very easy to make GS: What’s in it? MMG: I don’t know. But he makes Kaluha and I drink it. Happily. [As stuff starts exploding] GS: I thought the effects were really good here. MMG: Yeah this scene came out great. [As the guy explodes] MMG: That effect was a little odd, but it still worked out great. GS: A little over the top but still kind of awesome. [As Duke’s line about needing to see a doctor ] MMG: And Eric delivered this line well.

MMG: And here’s our lovely theme music, I love it. My kids sing it. Well, hum along to it

[Credits on screen: Editor - Thorben Bieger] MMG: This was edited by Thorben. His name is Thorben and I wrote an episode of Haven back in season three and there was a guy in it named Thor [pronounced Tor], which was a shortened version of Thorben. And I remember people saying that wasn’t a real name, no one’s named Thorben, that’s ridiculous. And I thought, well our editor is named Thorben.

[Gloria making a scene in the hospital to cover for Duke] GS: I love Gloria. Let’s do the Gloria spin off. MMG: Jayne Eastwood loves this kind of stuff. She was great here.

[As Duke arrives to talk to Charlotte] MMG: This is another cool moment, this episode was full of cool moments. GS: Well it’s cool because everyone knows something that the other person doesn’t know, in every scene MMG: Right. There’s a lot of secrets. And look how great Laura looks with her hair down. GS: I know, I was so happy when we brought it down. The second we were going to change her from a doctor to Audrey’s mother, we were like; bring the hair down! [Charlotte to Duke; Remove your shirt please.] GS: And the fans go wild. [As we see the handprints on Duke] GS: And even wilder. Can I say, that little handprint right on his butt, we were told that was very important that that was there.

GS: Oh this is a cool scene coming up [Audrey and Mara talking in the bronco]. How did they shoot it, was there special effects, or? MMG: This was a cool scene. But no, I think they just shot over … well let’s see but I’m pretty sure they used Lydia our stunt double. GS: So they didn’t do any split screen MMG: I don’t think so. This kind of stuff is so fun for Emily, and this was a really good Mara performance. And the dialogue in this scene is fantastic, really it’s clever. GS: Wait, didn’t you write this episode? MMG: Yes I did. GS: Ah ha, that explains it.

MMG: Can you turn it up Josh, I can barely hear … Oh, I had the wrong - OK that’s better. Don’t laugh like I did something wrong. GS: No, no! The technology is all new to us. We have new exciting technology for this year’s commentary.

[Mara talking to Audrey] MMG: There is an homage in this scene, a line of dialogue from a very famous science fiction show; “make the Troubles look like a square dance.” GS: Oh I remember you telling me what it was at the time …

MMG: Oh this scene [with the kids on the boat] was great as well. The name John-John [the school kid] came from a top ranked ASP surfer named John-John Florence, who is nothing like that kid but I just liked the name John-John. Am I going to get sued for that? GS: I don’t think so. Because you said they’re not alike. MMG: Yeah I just like the name. GS: This turned out really well too [the kids trapped in the boat as it starts to fill with water]. We were kind of nervous trying to picture how it was going to turn out. You know, when you write on the page ‘and suddenly the boat is being crushed by ropes’ you’re kind of wondering exactly how it’s going to work. [The teacher on screen; I am so fired] MMG: That was an ad lib right there.

[Dave justifying his daytime drinking; The sun’s past the yardarm] MMG: That is lifted from my friend Danna. She’s from Maine and she always says that; the sun’s past the yardarm. Which means the sun’s past the little thing that sticks out on the mast, so it’s five o’clock. GS: It’s five o’clock somewhere. And if I had visions like that, I’d be drinking too.

[Nathan and Audrey talking outside the bronco as she nurses her head where Mara hit her] GS: Where did they shoot this? This is right near Nicky’s, in Chester I think. MMG: Sure looks like it. But I think we’re trying to hide where … Oh yeah! We are trying to hide where it is because, I remember this was a production nightmare, it was supposed to be right outside of the lab because Audrey goes in talk to Charlotte at the end of this scene. This was a very tricky piece of production right here.p

[Audrey talking to Mara in the lab] MMG: This was an interesting scene because we really wanted Audrey, someone who’s been looking for her mother for her entire life, to connect with this woman somehow. But it was hard. GS: But it’s a nice setup, for everything that happens in our next season.

*gap in the commentary as they are both silent for a while* GS: Josh is like, please say something guys. Alright, you would think after doing four years of these we would be in some way better at them. MMG: You know what? You can hate yourself, but I refuse to live my life that way. I think we’ve been doing great at this. GS: I don’t think there are supposed to be these big stretches of dead air. My problem is I don’t watch the commentaries on other DVDs, even shows I love, just because doing that makes me feel like I’m being pulled out of it like the universe doesn’t really exist. But I should because then maybe I’d be better at these. MMG: Sometimes I just get sucked into the scene and I just start watching the show.

MMG: It is interesting to contemplate Charlotte as Audrey’s mother, and you start thinking; there is a vague, sort of passing resemblance there in an odd kind of way. GS: There is. The nose, and the eyes are similar.

MMG: I like the giant card catalogue in the back of this office [the Herald]. I always expect them to open it up and pull out a dewey decimal system card or something. GS: This was always one of my favourite sets. It seems the most Haven. And also the Gull but that was always such a nightmare to shoot in. [Duke, to Vince: If you know where an open thinny is, then you are going to tell me right now. Or I am going to beat you to death. With him.] GS: I really like that line. MMG: I got grief for that line. People felt Duke was being a bully or something. GS: Ah, they could take Duke down if they wanted to. They put up with him.

[The location with the boat full of school kids] MMG: That’s North West Cove, is it not? GS: I think it is. Up by the Grey Gull where all the lobster traps are. That had to be a terrible job [for the actors playing the school kids in the water-filled boat]. I’m sure that water was not super MMG: Oh yeah there were some tough local kids who just got drenched all day, I suspect.

[Charlotte explaining the merge-Audrey-with-Mara plan to Nathan] MMG: I like this scene. GS: Nathan’s like; WHAT? MMG: Look how great our show looks. No it really does. Maybe it’s this computer? I just think it looks great. GS: No, it does. It’s that grey rainy weather that’s so difficult to shoot in but looks great on screen. MMG: This is bad news for Nathan. GS: And I think what’s so surprising to him is that Audrey’s going along with it.

MMG: What’s with Audrey’s jacket with the American flag on the arm? Has she borrowed that? GS: Is that her cop jacket? No, I think that’s just a random jacket. MMG: This was very emotionally tricky bit [Audrey convincing Nathan to let Charlotte do the merge thing]. I’m now having total ‘PTSD’ on writing this episode becuase it was very, very challenging. Actually, Josh just looked at me, we could tell a funny story about Josh right now. My recollection is, I was struggling with the idea that Nathan’s motivation in an earlier draft was basically to let Audrey go. And that made it very hard to sort of keep him driving, and have these moments. But it was Josh’s suggestion, and it plays out in this scene, where he basically gives the ‘stay alive and I will find you and I will bring you back’ speech. Do I have that right Josh? Josh: Yep. GS: Nathan is nothing if not determined. MMG: And diligent. It’s called love, don’t hate it. GS: I could never hate love. If these two weren’t made for each other, who are.

MMG: Ah, the Cape Rouge. Which isn’t at the bottom of the ocean any more I don’t think. They floated it. GS: The actual boat, that we used for the exterior shots, sank. The hull finally rusted out and it hit the bottom. Fortunately where it was, the water wasn’t too deep so I don’t think the entire thing ever went entirely under.

MMG: That was a slightly confusing cut. We went from Duke in his boat, to the kids in the sinking boat - like woah Duke, there’s kids drowning in the bottom of your boat.

[Mara coming to talk to a chained up Duke in the hold of the Rouge] MMG: This was one of those scenes that comes out in a way that’s not exactly how you’d imagined. But I like it. GS: These two actually could have lived happily ever after too, in a different universe. MMG: For sure. We miss Mara. GS: She was a great character. You loved to hate her. MMG: I liked to write her. She was fun. GS: Yes, super fun to write. Characters who are a little darker or have more of an edge are always (for me at least) more fun to write. A little more complicated. That’s why Duke was always really fun to write. MMG: Yep

[Charlotte and Dwight’s conversation] GS: I thought Adam did a great job in this scene. MMG: Yeah. His last line’s good, because he’s very vulnerable.

GS: This was such a tricky episode, because we had to have our Trouble of the week, but I always felt that no one was caring about anything except what was going on with Charlotte and Mara and Audrey. MMG: This was a very difficult episode, and I’m now remembering. It was terrible. I remember we all squeezed into Adam Higg’s, what was that room in his apartment building. GS: Oh the conference room in his building. Why were we in there? Josh: The plumbing went out. GS: Oh that’s right. The plumbing went out here and one of our writer’s lived just up the block so we all went and took over his apartment building. MMG: Which had a giant fish tank. GS: And a really nice pool. Really nice apartment building.

[Nathan finding Gloria emptying the Gull of its alcohol] MMG: This was another scene that didn’t come out exactly as I had imagined it. But Jayne Eastwood is just a delight. I slow danced with Jayne at the wrap party. It was very, very fun, but I’m going to stop that story right there.

MMG: This was hard for Emily. God, there were so many vectors in this. Because she also had to be getting sick in this sequence too. That was tricky, she had a lot going on.

[As the Troubled guy is talking to his daughter trapped in the boat and telling her how much he loves her] MMG: I have three daughters, so I always like to write this kind of stuff. By that I don’t mean drowning them. But you get to use someone else as a mouthpiece to write little speeches to your kids.

MMG: Ah, the seaplane. This was going to be a boat, and then we changed it to a seaplane.

[As Charlotte is confirming to Audrey that merging with Mara will effectively mean she dies] MMG: Oh my god, there were so many tricky scenes in this episode. Explaining so much stuff. GS: I think Emily loved playing Mara. MMG: She did. She’s having a great time. And this is our goodbye to Mara, sadly. And these were Charlotte’s first little hints about “Dad” in this scene I think. Both actresses do a great job here. It’s tricky stuff here.

[As Duke and Nathan meet at the seaplane place] MMG: There’s a LOT going on between these two here GS: In one draft didn’t they take swings at each other here? MMG: I don’t know. That should have been stung with music right there, that Duke’s plan was to kill Mara. And there’s Duke once again being slightly noble; doesn’t want to explode in Haven, wants to go and explode in the void.

[As the wind starts blowing stuff over by Duke and Nathan] GS: I remember we had so many discussions about what this was going to look like. MMG: This didn’t come out exactly as we’d imagined either. We’d imagined that everything was going towards them, sort of like a singularity. But the wind seemed to be blowing in a variety of directions there. This is a great shot [looking down on Duke and Nathan] and this one [as we see Charlotte and Audrey kneeling, before the reveal that it is Audrey and not Mara]. That pile of clothing looks like it should be smoking, like Terminator.

[As Audrey and Nathan hug] GS: Aw, yey! Duke’s like; how come I’m not getting a hug? [As Charlotte tells Duke Mara turned the Trouble bomb off] GS: It’s a happy ending! But wait … can it really be a happy ending on Haven? [As we see Duke’s black eyes] GS: His eyes look good. MMG: Yep.

[As Vince and Dave find CROATOAN carved in the rock] GS: That is very neat handwriting, wow. MMG: I was just thinking that. So perfectly spaced. Ah that’s OK. [As they see the fog wall going up through the trees] GS: That’s a cool shot. MMG: Yep, I agree.

It’s not that he wasn’t as excited as Quetzalcoatl, he was; Pilli just liked making the most of the moments he shared with him.

Hey all! Just wanna talk about a project I'm currently performing art duties for: High Elo Girls; a free visual novel written and designed by one of my closest friends!

The game focuses on an all women's team competing for glory in the League of Legends Esports scene!

You play as Rafaela, a college dropout, down on her luck and high on the ranking ladder; given the opportunity of a lifetime; a chance to try out for the newly minted team Momentum Gaming (MMG) as their last-minute substitute.

There you meet five other young women, each with their own backstories, personalities and unique outlooks on life. Will you be able to help forge them into a cohesive team and pull out an Ace? Or will the trials of the MLG lifestyle leave you facing an early surrender vote?

FEATURING:

5 team role-specific narrative routes to direct

5 unique female teammates to befriend (and potentially romance!)

Guided in-game decision-making that impacts both team health and competition outcomes

A friendly tour of League of Legends esports that caters to both newcomers and seasoned fans

Over the coming weeks, I’ll be posting some details about the game and its characters, but if you’d like to know more right now, you can follow our home page, itch.io and twitter feed for details!

https://highelogirls.gg/

Just want to say I've been following discord whooves, lovestruck, zerum — all of it from day 1. I never once turned off post notifications and I can't describe the excitement when I realised the story would be finished and not abandoned. It's been strange to stick with something so long but it's become oddly meaningful to me as a result. Early on it's what encouraged me to keep drawing and pursue art. So I just wanna say even if you don't have the numbers reading you might have 8 years ago, your work and storytelling still means a lot to many :)

I’m glad! I don’t know if I’ll ever see numbers as big as Lovestruck and Discord Whooves’ following again, it’s just kind of the sad part of being in a fandom, fandoms always fade.

As much as I really hope My Magic Grandpa can get popular, I have a lot of doubts at this point. Had I released it earlier it might have had more of a chance, but I didn’t have the ideas back then and I went through a long bout of depression that made a lot of people think the blogs were abandoned.

Still, I’m advertising MMG where I can and I have a nice little following for now, I guess we’ll just have to see how it all turns out

I’m really proud that Discord Whooves has inspired a lot of people though, even if I’m hoping it won’t be one of my only ‘claims to fame’ as it were. Same goes for any of my pony projects, really.

Lagi 2 hari InsyaAllah aku akan balik ke UK

Dah dekat 2 bulan aku di bumi Malaysia ni.

Kami balik sbb husband aku ada nak buat research sikit and sbb kitaorg dah tak tahan rindu sangat dgn family and makanan Malaysia.

Entah kenapa aku mcm tak excited sgt nak balik ke UK.

Mungkin sbb aku tahu life dkt sana sendu tak semeriah life dkt sini.

Adik perempuan aku cakap extend la cuti sampai raya. Aku tau raya memang seronok tapi aku rasa masa yang aku spend dgn keluarga sebelum raya ni lebih bermakna sbb masa raya selalu semua org busy, kedai banyak tutup, jalan jem nak mamps..so aku and husband decide nak raya lagi di UK tahun ni walaupun tak best langsung.

Dah dekat berapa hari aku mcm sebak and sayu je bila fikir nak balik sana dah.

Aku tgk anak aku happy duduk sini, meriah dgn anak buah aku yg lain..dengan adik2 aku yg selalu layan dia.Sangat best.

Boleh je aku choose xnk ikut laki aku balik sana..haha..tapi memikirkan visa dah byr berpuluh ribu, so balik je lah nak fully utilise duit dah labur masa buat visa dulu.

Hati aku mcm dilemma, should i work hard to stay in UK after husband aku habis phd or aku balik je Malaysia for good.

Kalau ikut gaji, mmg masyuk la kerja sana. Alhamdulillah bos aku bagi kerja online, so gaji aku tetap dpt mcm biasa.

Kawan2 aku and saudara semua ckp stay je la dkt UK tu tapi entahlah ada something in your heart yang rasa void bila jauh di perantauan.

So, for now aku just nak focus untuk husband aku nak settlekan phd dia..and for my daughter aku nak readykan dia masuk nursery bulan 9 ni..

And for me....entahlahhh

Wale - Wow... That’s Crazy ALBUM REVIEW

Often, my negative reviews are more about disappointment in an artist that I really like rather than an artist I like. That’s why my review of Wale’s 2017 album SHINE is one of the most negative reviews I’ve ever written. I don’t know if it is still up because it may have gotten flagged. Wale is a dope rapper that makes good albums and singles. My favorite album of his is 2015′s The Album About Nothing. That album was his best and showed him moving on an upward trajectory because he was getting better with every album. SHINE was a serious misstep in my opinion and was such a disappointment. However, Wale has been killing his features and I was excited to hear a new Wale album and I am so happy to say that Wow... That’s Crazy is a fantastic return to form. I knew I’d like this album based simply off the first track. Wale + a gospel sample will pretty much always win me over (some Intro About Nothing vibes). He sounds amazing on the track. Wale’s in his comfort zone throughout this album but that’s okay because it’s clear that outside his comfort zone wasn’t really working for him. On the other hand, Wale hasn’t really made a song like Love & Loyalty which is fantastic. The production just makes you happy and want to start dancing. I was unfamiliar with Nigerian-American singer Mannywellz but he was perfect for the hook. Also perfect for hooks was Ari Lennox on the next track, Cliche. The chill beat works for Ari, Wale and Shady Records’ Boogie. I didn’t care too much for Boogie’s debut album that came earlier this year but he had a very good verse. Wale’s got so many R&B singers on this album and some of those songs hit and some of them are misses. 6LACK brings Wale into his world on Expectations and Wale and Jeremih create yet another well-crafted collaboration with On Chill. On Love... (Her Fault), Bryson Tiller sounds like a mumbly Chris Brown. I actually don’t think that Bryson is the worst part of the song. The beat doesn’t do anyone any favors but Wale delivered with good verses. The song Black Bonnie was only a skip because of Jacquees, it wasn’t Wale’s fault. Another collaboration that surprised the shit out of me was Routine where the big 3 of MMG (Rick Ross, Meek Mill and Wale) show up to make another track. I didn’t hate this song but Meek Mill was really not helping make anything better. His verse was okay but I hated the hook and he’s still screaming for no reason. For a second, it seemed like he was straying away from yelling all the time. The yelling did actually make a dope contrast with Rick Ross’s low and laidback flow. Ambition with Ross and Meek is one of my favorite Wale songs because they all really showed up to rap but Routine doesn’t even come close. Now I didn’t like Poledancer with Megan Thee Stallion but Wale has had that strip club anthem on pretty much all his albums (remember Clappers from The Gifted?). I’m not a fan of Megan’s music because I don’t love a lot of that over-sexualized rap but she is a skilled rapper. There are some filler tracks toward the end which makes the album a little boring but the great songs outweigh that. Wale isn’t doing anything crazy different from his past albums but this is still the best album he’s put out since The Album About Nothing. It’s also a little more cohesive than his other albums.

Fav Tracks: Sue Me, Love & Loyalty, Cliche, Love Me Nina / Semiautomatic, Debbie

#Wale #wow... that's crazy #Mannywellz #Ari Lennox #Boogie #6LACK #bryson tiller #Jeremih #Lil Durk #kelly pric #jacquees #megan thee stallion #MMG #Rick Ross #Meek Mill

#tashatravels: BONJOUR PARIS!

Hi and assalamualaikum. well, first of all, thank you that you’re here! this one is for those yang voted for france haritu dan jugak mereka yang teringin nak baca blog I (you know who you are :) thank you in advance for the support) and for those yang nak tahu pasal france, experience I pergi sana with my friends, some travel tips, tourism places and etc. but bear in mind yang I sangat lah newbie to this blogging world (nak tulis ni pun nervous macam my fingers terketar ketar tahu tak okay tak hiperbola je semua tu tapi nervous itu benarr) yela dahla this is my first post kannn! haha, so I mintak maaf kalau terkurang. but in sha Allah i’ll keep on improving okay. so show some love and support, okay? hee.

so yea I nak cerita sikit background of this trip. mesti ramai yang macam “eh tasha ni pergi dgn kawan kawan dia jeke woah bestnyaaaaa kenapa tak ajak” and sort of kan, sabar dulu guys bertenang semua bertenaaang. kalau I pergi dgn kawankawan I je confirm lah mak I akan macam “HAPEEE DIAAA” dan tak bagi pergi dan kurung I dalam bilik serta sorok passport I dalam tempat letak beras hahaha (takdala ibu baik je hehe). sebenarnya, ini trip under sekolah. basically, every year YHKM will offer our school untuk join the trip. so masa tahun 2015 pergi korea (tapi I tak pergila sebab masatu tak fangirl park seo jun lagi jkjk), a year before that pergi UK, then masa 2017 offer pergi France.

so masatu I kat sekolah, masa form 5 la ni, lagak senior year jalan flip blazer phew hm takdala senior year I selekeh je tudung pun lipat sebelah jalan seret beg melayan kepenatan jadi form 5 sampai mak cik cleaner cakap samekom pun hanya kedengaran di telinga i 2 jam kemudian hamboi sampai cenggitu sekali ye kak tasha. then bila habis class petang ter dengar announcement pasal trip ni. pastu I pun apalagi mestila macam “wey macam best je” lepastu ajak kawan kawan I semua la lepastu I baru sedar “France”. lepastu I terus terkedu terduduk tersandar begini meratapi hati (eh ini dah masuk lagu sufian suhaimi kk patah balik patah balik sorry babypian) dekat corner memikirkan “why must it be france”, sebabnya :-

1. I dah pernah pergi masa 2011 (tapi pergi masa kecik mana la ingat sangat yang I ingat I pakai tudung sarung cam makcik je hm sedih betul)

2. kalau I cakap dengan parents I, their first line would be “laa tasha kan dah pernah pegi france dulu” confirm punya la.

3. dan for this year I was expecting for Turkey ( I suka gila cerita Istanbul Aku Datang so I selalu berangan nak pergi sana macam Dian hm) ke, Italy ke or Budapest ke (ecewah kemain).

but then I fikir balik. “eh final year kot, takkan taknak pergi jalan jalan dengan kawan bfr you leave your high school kan”. okay so I pun lepastu terus je make up my mind yang EH I NAK PERGI I NAK PERGI NAK PERGIIIIIII. so I pun call la ayah I haa cakap cakap sikit manifesto sikit I love you abah sikit then zasss ayah I bagi pergi wee. so I terus register nama and settle kan fee. so yea through out the whole year I mmg work hard la sebab dahla parents dah bagi pergi travel semua then takkkan la you taknak sungguh sungguh belajar kan itu dasar tanggang tak reti bersyukur namanya haha.

*okay banyaknya tasha ni cakap, bila nak sampai paris ni hm hm*. hehe sorry. we re about to reach there soon hun so worry no more!

so habis spm, on 2018, my friends, few teachers, few juniors and few adults (wow repetitive sungguh perkataan few tu disini ye) pun pergila Paris, France. To Paris we gooooo

SO WE RE HERE, FRANCE. HOORAAAAAYS

Pergi lebih kurang 6 hari 5 malam. depart 15 feb 2018, naik Etihad for like 15 hrs ( ye lama dan mmg sakit badan but who cares kita kan tgh excited haha ) tapi ada transit la kat Dubai so okayla sikit. dekat sana kitorg duduk dekat this one hotel called hm tak ingat la hahaha hotel dia cantik je just nice la tapi bilik dia kecik yang macam you masuk bilik tu you confuse yang you tengah masuk bilik hotel ke almari Doraemon ni. tapi selesa bersih heater worked well so yeah it was fine je.

so dekat sana our tourist guide was this one abang from YHKM,masatu abang ni dari UK bcs dia biasanya jaga trip budak budak pergi UK tapi macamana entah dia kena jaga trip Paris kitorg. so everyday dia la belikan train ticket then bawak pergi sana pergi sini. alrite I akan cerita few places yang I rasa paling best dekat Paris ni. jadi mari kita explore 7 best places to visit when in Paris bersama tasha the explorer (cepat,siapa nak jadi monyet I, ganti monyet dora) Yeaaaaay okay jom!

anyway kenapa I tak cerita semua tempat? sebab ada places yang kitorg singgah nak amik gambar dekat depan je and reasons dia kebanyakannya sebab : queue panjang yang amat kalau Chewbacca bergolek 100 meter pun belum tentu queue tu dah habis ye wahai jemaah pembaca sekalian, entrance fee mahal hm hm (boleh nangis kira duit syiling tak cukup), dan kurang menarik untuk dilawati.

OKAY NI BETUL BETUL SAMPAI PARIS.

So sampai je Paris en, dia punya mood tu terus tukar macam cerita Monte Carlo si selena gomez berlakon tu (kalau you tak tengok, pergi tengok sejurus selepas baca blog ini, cerita ni best kot especially to those yang memang teringin sangat nak sampai Paris, you really gotta watch this movie tau) and lagu La Vie En Rose by Edith Piaf seperti terngiang ngiang di telinga HAA FEELING TAK, FEELING KAN.

#1: EIFFEL TOWER

Gambar ni I amik before naik Eiffel. Jadi first day mestila pergi Eiffel Tower yang disayangi dicintai dikagumi ramai dulu kan. Okay jadi kitorg pergi Eiffel Tower ni masa petang so masatu macam dah nak malam dah. dekat area Eiffel tower tu ada park lepastu Carousel lepastu baru la jumpa Eiffel Tower. Yang ni I rasa ramai dah tahu. dekat Park tu akan ada ramai black guys whatsap yaww yang jual keychain eiffel tower yang korang sekalu jumpa tu , so kalau nak beli keychains boleh beli kat situ sbb bagi I murah jugakla kat situ tapi kena pandai nego. kalau nak beli kat tempat lain pun banyak je ada.

but I beli kat situ, sbb nak settle souv utk kawan awal awal haha. tapi biasala, bila you beli 5 dia suruh beli 10, dah beli 10 dia suruh beli fridge magnet pulek using this line “ Samariah come on Samariah I need to go back to my country” ha begitu sekali samariah class kau mariah masalahnya tersedak I sejak bila pulak nama I samariah brotherrrrrrrr haha. but takpayah takut, dorg okay je, pandai pandai la joke sikit. Requote from one book yang I baca titled ‘How To Live More With Less’ written by french lady, Dominique Loreau, she said “learn to say no gracefully and firmly”. so before you walk away, senyum, cakap thank you and boleh gerak dulu pape roger dengan manis sekali.

I bersyukur jugakla pergi Eiffel Tower masa malam sebab cantik gilaaaaaaa ( I taktipu, I angkat tangan kanan ni) ha kira berapa harakat laaa I tu nak kata punyala cantik, serious rasa nak pengsan tergolek golek, sebab masa 2011 tu I pergi siang. so masa malam Eiffel Tower tu glow (10 times prettier than bila siang) and ada time yang dia akan macam berkelip kelip cemtu so it was something beyond beautiful! Eiffel Tower ada tiga floors for those yang nak tahu, jadi masa nak beli ticket ikutla nak beli ticket untuk floor mana yang you nak pergi tapi kalau you beli ticket for floor atas sekali bolehla you merasa semua floor. Paham tak apa I cakap ni eh? haha. sebab nanti you boleh je turun ikut tangga or elevator to the lower floor. ha macamtu.

tapi nak beli ticket tu, beratur dia panjangnya ya ampun sampai boleh pergi tengok wayang dulu nanti datang balik, sampai begitu sekali ye tuan tuan dan puan puan. so beratur dia open air jadi sejuk tu takpayah cakap lah dahla WINTER lepastu first day jadi body temperature pun baru je nak adapt maka I dan kawan kawan I menggigil terketar ketar badan dah separuh beku muka dah merah lidah dah numb you bayangkan la sejam lebih beratur kat situ boleh terkena Hypothermia ceh takdala sampai centu sekali tapi sejukla. tapi I suka je sejuk macamtu hahaha. best je beratur lama sebab dgn kawan kawan sekolah kan so banyak benda nak borak since dah habis sekolah.

Once dah dapat ticket kitorg terus naik ke highest floor, tengok night view of Paris from above, and I tell you girlll, it was way too breath-taking girl! just look at this picture yang I amik dari atas, and imagine enjoying it with your pair of eyes pula. Yea cantik sangat. then bila nak turun tu entahla kenapa I ikut my friends turun ikut tangga. dorg ingat dorg Logan Paul ke nak turun ikut tangga yang panjang dan menyeramkan tu padahal ada je elevator. okay I tak gayat tau biasanya (tolongla percaya I hahaha) tapi, masa turun tangga tu, you boleh nampak bandar bandar dekat bawah melalui celah celah besi eiffel tower tu setiap kali you turun anak tangga yang entah beribu dahlatu, berpusing pusing pulaktu, so masatu I gayat jugak tapi lepastu overcome la kalau tak bila nak sampai bawah nya haha. so yea Eiffel Tower was incredibly amazing. I paling suka.

#2: LUXEMBOURG GARDEN

Yeas we went to the park. kalau nak tahu gambar avatar tumblr I yang kat atas yang tgh duduk kat ats bench tu ha dekat park ni la. Park ni dekat tengah bandar and cantik sangat dia macam ada this round garden mcm gambar kat atas tu so semua orang just sit keliling tu. dan sangat la lively! masatu weekend so that park memang penuh dengan french people and even foreigners. it was good to see people get out of their houses, get some fresh air, spend some time with the kids and family. ada yang picnic dengan friends, ada yang just sit there reading book. I rasa view macamni sangat la priceless yet susah nak dapat kat malaysia. definitely, one of the best parks/gardens yang I pernah sampai I guess. A good place to just sit and chill with your favourite playlist of Bee Gees. those yang pergi paris, please la singgah this park!

#3: GRAND MOSQUE OF PARIS

Kitorang singgah this masjid untuk solat zohor and asar. masjid ni bila masuk je kan, rasa tenaaaang jeeee. I like it bila masuk then jumpa community Islam and the muslim sisters were all smiling at you and gave their salaam, entahla I just suka culture macamtu. masjid ni sangat hidup. I rasa sejuk je hati bila sampai prayer hall tengok it was fullhouse! ada yang tengah solat and banyak groups tengah tadarus sama sama, kids pun ada. (those yang tgk kat story I ingat la kot this masjid). Bukan bulan ramadhan pun tapi ramai je muslim sisters kat Paris turun masjid untuk tadarus. Dekatnya la hati dierang dengan quran. I was both impressed and touched :) I would like to suggest semua muslim yang datang france to put this masjid in their to-go list.

#4: SACRE-COEUR

ouh those r my friends. Say Hi? haha. *yang tengah tu junior I Haq tau bukan Cik B. agak sama tapi bukan dia hahahaha

anyway atas tu la Sacre Coeur, this one is a church. yup the first church that I’ve ever been to. dekat paris ni banyak je church but masuk satu jela buat apa nak masuk banyak banyak kan kawan kawan haha. I dahlama nak try masuk church sebenarnya sbb nak tengok and finally masuk yang kat Paris. cantik, french punya architecture is really something to be proud of la kot I could say. meremang tak bulu roma? hm takla cuma ada la macam that 'chills' tu sikit masa first masuk but then okay je. dalam tu mesti la ada lukisan lukisan biasa tu, ada pulpit, confession room, altar and such. rule number 1 of course takboleh amik gambar. tapi ramai je visitors snap gambar dalam tu. namun cerita sedih ringkas, my friends got caughttt! mari gelak bersama-sama I hahahaha. dua kali pulak tu, dahla I jalan ngan dierang nasib baik I tak kena. first time tu kena tegur dengan this one pope sebab amik gambar. second one tu kena dengan this one lady sebab they were talking lol. dorang cakap slow je tapi sebab dia macam bergema kan dlm church so mmg dengar la. Tapi yela tu betul la tu, that’s the rule, and you need to respect it and obey it. so lesson learnt, siapa nak masuk church nanti ingat, hati hati jangan jadi mcm kiterang (eh dierang) haha.

#5: LOUVRE MUSEUM

nampak tak glass pyramid belakang I tu? ha itulah museum monalisa tu. bukan pyramid tu tau museum dia. bawah tu. dia macam underground museum so memang besar. ramai orang datang sini nak tengok monalisa je. sebut elok elok ye jangan tersalah seru mona yang lain pulak kat blog I ni hahaha. masa kiterang pergi tu serious ramai gila manusia, macam satu dunia pergi that museum untuk tengok the most valuable painting of Mona Lisa by Leonardo Da Vinci. memang bersesak sesak la sampai that hall. and kat situ banyak paintings lain jugak. dia macam hall of paintings. dekat situ pun ada macam warisan seni semua civilizations kat dunia, tamadun Islam punya pun ada. so kalau you jenis suka benda benda arts, paintings, you really should come here, the Louvre Museum.Uh Oh lagi satu siapa tengok cerita The Da Vinci Code? yep they filmed it here too.

#6: OPERA

sorryla gambar tak cantik sangat, sorry ye cos it was a bit dark kat dalam tu. so yeas it’s operaaaaaaaa! yang ni I masuk dengan kawan kawan I je sebab yang lain macam teachers, juniors taknak masuk. opera ni macam castle! I rasa rugi pulak I tak masuk pakai dress macam disney princess ke ala nanti orang kata crack pulak kan tapi takpa tak kira next trip to paris nak pergi dengan best girlfriends semua lepastu nak masuk pakai dress jugak haha! opera ni tempat play la, tempat orang gather tengok opera (lol apa i cakap ni, tapi you paham kan hihi). dalam tu serious macam castle, chandeliers dia, stairs dia. so siapa yang suka tengok cerita macam Princess Diaries ke Downtown Abbey ke Pride & Prejudice or any other english classic movies macam I, I bet you’ll love this place (the interior deco) as much as I do, sebab cantik sangat! kalau masuk nak tengok opera pun boleh, just kena tahu showtime dia, check the dress code and prepare for the fee.

#7: MONTMARTRE STREET MARKETS

actually Montmartre street markets ni area bawah sikit dari Sacre Coeur je. This was where we bought all the souvs for family members, close friends and some teachers. and jgk tempat kiitorg habiskan duit allowance bfr balik ke malaysia haha. sbnrnya, abang YHKM tu bawak kitorg pergi La Fayette. La Fayette guys La Fayette, most luxurious shopping mall kat sana. but hellooooooooooooo (pls kira jugak berapa harakat hello I) haha, we are not that loaded punnnn, I mean I bukanla, my friends are huhu. Lagipun bagi I it’s such a waste to buy branded stuff here, setakat small souvenirs from paris cukupla for me. so I request dengan kawan kawan I semua dekat abang YHKM tu untuk pergi balik to sacre coeur untuk cari souvenirs. and yes, we went there sehari bfr balik malaysia. so kat situla beli semua souvenirs. As you can see, along the street ada banyak souvenir shops so boleh pilih nak beli apa, nak beli baju/sweater ke, fridge magnets ke, totte bags ke, keychains ke, scarves ke or anything yang you nak. I had fun shopping barang murah here hehe #happytasha. and barang barang dia cantik cantik je semua so no worries dear.

k so habis cerita pasal tempat. moving on to SOME TRAVEL TIPS/ THOUGHTS.

DUIT NAK BAWAK BERAPA?

sebab I pergi dengan travel agency kan so semua benda dierang dah settlekan jadi duit yang bawak tu kiranya untuk souvenirs jela. Masa pergi Paris tu I bawak around 300+ euro je, tu pun lebih lagi, tak guna habis. so takpayah banyak banyak sangat pun takpa, cuma spare money kena selalu ada in case ada emergency rite.

PICK POCKETS

those yang selalu singgah travel blogs mesti dah tahu Paris ni macamana. yes, Paris ni sangatla penuh dengan pick pockets yang professional, I rasa dorg punya taraf tu mungkin boleh sampai standard The Four Horsemen nak kata punya terer la dorg ni.

so duit kena jaga elok elok. The most important thing is to not put all your money at one place bcs that’s super risky. macam I, I letak dekat few places. so you may decide berapa nak tinggal kat luggage berapa nak bawak along etc etc.

Passport pulak mesti bawak everywhere yang you nak pergi. so basically semua orang akan carry one knapsack je nak pergi mana mana. (dalam tu letak passport and other important stuff) it’s not advisable to bring handbags. so one light knapsack, and you’re good to go!

Sungguhpun begitu, I tetap kena dengan pick pockets ye rakan rakan (muka sedih). Okay mari bercerita. it happened masa kiterang nak cross jalan dekat depan Arc De Triomphe. I tahu yang the best is to bawak your knapsack tu ke depan, so lebih selamat, tapi haha I tak suka, dia mcam tak selesa bila beban tu kat depan lol paham tak. so I bawak je bag tu ke belakang. tapi I memang jaga la. knapsack I tu jenis kain, so dia senang nak detect bila ada orang touch your bag. Tiba tibaaaaa, zurpp* I sedar ada orang bukak zip bag I. BERANI NI YA KAMU hahaha. I pun apalagi, terus pegang bag I, terus pusing belakang, nampak these two ladies tengah tercengang *HA BERSALAH LA TU. masatu I tgk dorg I macam EEEEEEEEEE GERAMNYA. pastu I terus check passport I semua ada tak, so nasib baik ada lagi semua. tapi dalam bag I tu I mmg takletak duit so yea.

masatu I bersyukur la yang try I tu PBNU (pick pockets baru nak up lol). so dorg ni tak professional lagi ni haha wekk :p , nasib baik. so you all yang nak pergi paris nanti, hati hati tau!

HALAL FOOD

Sepanjang dekat paris, food yang kitorg selalu makan ialah kebab (ini memang setiap hari), burger, fries, nasi goreng kot (sometimes), nasi India. Dont worry, ada banyak je kedai kebab around Paris ni. tapi food portion dia memang banyaaaaaak, I kadang makan share 4 orang. so kalau makan sikit, better share je nanti bazir.

CLEANLINESS?

Let me just be frank, Paris isnt that clean okay tapi jangan la berduka cita haha. Paris ni cantik tapi tulah kebersihan dia kureng sikit, rugi lah. I tak tahu la sebab I baru balik dari japan masetu so I was comparing Paris with Japan or what. tapi in my opinion, dorg mmg biasabiasa je kebersihan ni. kalau you masuk underground train station, bau hancing tu takpayah cakap la. Those drunk people memang spray je merata kat dinding so bab ni kena tahan sikit.

THESE FEW 'FUNNY’ PEOPLE

biasanya french people yang I jumpa kat sana they were just fine, okay je. but ofc ada yang kurang baik, dkt mana mana pun ada rite. so yea, this is based on my experiences.

KISAH PERTAMA : masatu I tgh duduk dekat train station with the rest, tunggu the next train untuk pergi mana entah tak ingat. dekat depan kitorg ni ade la this one train yang baru sampai, so I tengok je la. Then I perasan yang ada this one teenage girl was staring at me dari dalam train, sebelah tu boyfriend dia. So bila dia tengok i, i pun senyum jela kat dia kan. you know what did she do after that? DIA JELIR LIDAH DEKAT I. hahahahahahaha.

I pun apa lagi, I pergi dekat dia, dengan nada Yusoff taiyob, I whisper kat telinga dia, MAK YOU HIJAAAAAAAU. takdala gurau je. I buat taktahu je. walaupun masatu I macam eh eh eh budak ni ey abdjajdkkkasmkx.

KISAH KEDUA : dekat train station lagi, masatu nak masuk dalam train, everyone was in rush. so this guy nak keluar, I nak masuk, but sesak kan so ppl was like pushing from the back. He was the last person pun yang nak keluar dari train tu. so i kat depan. then BAM! dia tolak I, kuat wey serious, I macam tersentak sikit (sangat sebenarnya) masatu. nasib baik kawan I Nilia kat belakang yang tahan I, kalau tak I memang dah jatuh dengan kuat nya lah kot. lepastu dia marah marah in french. masatu agak chaotic la, and then ada this one french lady yang baik, dia backed up I and marah that guy. Thank you aunty! lepastu he just walked away. so species macani, kena berhati hati sikit la.

SO HABIS!

Alright i rasa this is all yang I dapat share from my latest trip to Paris, France. so overall best tak? MESTILA BESTTTTT YALL haha. first because it’s Paris! ouh yea ada orang suruh rate cantiknya paris tu from 1-100. so I nak rate 85! cantik sangat tapi mestila switzerland lagi cantik hehe. second, sebab I pergi masa habis spm so mmg rasa free gila takpayah pikir eh homeworks dah siap ke belum etc haha. third, sebab I pergi dengan kawan kawan I, juniors, teachers yang fun fun semua. so Indeed, this is one of the best trips I‘ve ever joined and I was super grateful Allah bagi I rezeki pergi sini before I graduate my high school. I nak pergi lagi tak? NAAK, JOMM! tapi kena sponsour I la huhu.

so koraaaaaang yang baca sampai sini, dahla panjang ni I tulis ni, thank youuuu! I really appreciate it. Serious sakit belakang I tulis berjam jam ni hahaha, but I had fun. I harap you guys pun enjoy reading my first post.

till the next update, xoxo, tasha.
