The Day I Extend My Hair, My Eyelash and My Grateful List

Dear Diary,

Yes, I wish to extend my Senarai Kesyukuran (Grateful List)
on my Ninie Ahmad's (Photos & Photographers, Camera & Cameramen) Grateful List today
after her grateful list on her Batmobile and unfortunate accident last week.

• I am grateful I have and have had Malaysia's best (and most photographed) photographers as current my housemate and previous housemate (yes, you and you; Anna-Rina and Tom Hayton, I am so grateful I found you) so I never ran out of anyone to shoot me whenever I feel cute, vain or simply bored in the house

• I am grateful I have been contacted and had the privilege to have been photographed by some of Malaysia's finest and most amazing photographers (of course housemates included, not because we live together but simply because they ARE Malaysia's bests!) at Malaysia's tallest and most eventful events

• I am grateful that I am a (visible, yes make piah fun of it but I am having fun and making money out of it) YOGA INSTRUCTOR blessed with flexibility, strength and errr, good angles
  

• or else there is NO WAY I would have graced countless local magazines as I am soooo not a fashion model, I am not an entertainment celebrity, I am not political worthy and I am soooo not a commercial let alone a cover material

• I am grateful Supertall never minds being in photos with me and that given a good camera in hand, he even takes supercool pictures!

• I am grateful that my own lil' point-and-shoot has this supercool function to capture only a selected accent of colour

And I am actually actually most grateful
(dan timbul kesedaran untuk sambung senarai kesyukuran kategori ini)
this very hour

• for I actually and accidentally LEFT BEHIND my new IXUS at Delicious, Bangsar ViIIage like, six hours ago! Only realized it after I paid for my drink at nextdoor Starbucks Bangsar Village. I practically ran in my mini dress and heels back to Delicious only to find my camera, still waiting for me underneath the multiple hues of blue cushions I sat on (and took pictures of my food on) for a good three hours before! THANK GOD!!!

Alhamdulillah,
alhamdulillah,
alhamdulillah.


Nevertheless, like any other human being that can never be content,
if I can have one wish for this Photos & Photographers, Camera & Cameramen list
(and having watched one too every America's Next Top Model),





















I wish I wish I wish to be photographed in 'Y o g a C o u t u r e' in the nearest time
of which I'll be posing

• in either complicated designer dresses, miles of ribbons or endless heels,

• in my yoga moves BUT with intended crooked postures, with intentional unaligned poses (that Iyengar people would sue me for)

• with front fanned big hair, dramatic make-up, temporary body art

by any (errrrrrrr, of the mentioned?) photographers
with out-of-the-world ideas,
blasting lighting equipments,
golden umbrellas,
infinity backdrop et all,
any takers?

Kalau ada, alhamdulillah.
I couldn't be more grateful.


And I have a personal target
to be on the cover of SHAPE Malaysia, this year or next
and if it's not too ambitious, to also be on the cover of Yoga Journal in years to come.
Insyaallah.

If the dream is big enough, the facts don't count.
