Apa nak dihiraukan, mata bulat, mata sepet,
kulit hitam, kuning langsat,
jalan lurus, jangat sesat,
pipit sama enggang
dah lama terbang bersama
ini kan kita manusia
mengapa bermasam muka.

 

-chorus from Pesan Nenek by PureVibracion.

the Departure is my 1st photo essay to document all my travels in abstract and straightforward images. Numbers, seats, movements, lights, terminals, buses, trains, planes, stranger and yet familiar faces with their own expression are the main particles of the Departure. To capture and embrace the priceless moment that been forgotten by crowd are the reason for me to come out with this photo essay.

the Departure mainly presented in series of black & white photographs however due to beautiful colors of the sky, sea, river and land I decide to present some of the photos in colors.

Inspired by Ricardo Cezar.

Itinerary 6
:  Sampoerna  -  Mabul & Sipadan Island, Sabah . November 2010.

Finally it’s time for Mabul & Sipadan Island. The trip mainly for diving as Sipadan is one of world’s top dive site. The underwater visibility is up to 30 meters! Turtles are everywhere, countless white tip sharks, diversity of exotic small marine life and imagine enormous schools of barracuda in tornado-like formations just swim few meters above you! i wish i had underwater casing for my dslr so that i can share what i saw here, not yet but i will come back to Sipadan because there is one dive site that i can’t dive yet as advance diver, only dive master are allowed to dive there, Turtle Cave – A turtle tomb that lies underneath the column of the island, formed by an underwater limestone cave with a labyrinth of tunnels and chambers that contain many skeletal remains of turtles that become lost and drown before finding the surface. And that time i will bring back the photos! The trip was meaningful to me, it’s one of items in my bucket list. Dive Sipadan – checked!

Cheers folks!

Warriors of Mikros Kosmos

Hope are warriors in this mikros kosmos
Withstanding evil hurricanes as Time goes
Watching, waiting for Mother Sun to shine
Surviving Greed that are making them blind.

They explore the nexus of Life and Love
And hold their hands to the stars above
On crude syllogism they dutifully stand
Beyond this mikros kosmos, they will transcend.

Bit by bit they are embodied with flesh
They draw their swords and battle in blue
Against Anger their weapons clash
To Greatness and Joy they remain true.

Upon the crestfallen look of old nemesis called Sorrow
Mikros kosmos bloom with flowers and rainbow
And Light bring in friendship, from the citizens of Cope
As the ultimate reward for the obedient, loyal Hope.

Kneel them before you, raise them as Knight
Keep them strong and always in sight
In your mikros kosmos they will swim and fly
And swear to the Heavens, never will they die.

A poem by wonderful friend of mine, Baizulikha Aminullah.

 

It is so beautiful when words and photos goes together..and yet why sometime people just can’t complement each other..

Love all,

It will never get worse as we are not six feet under the ground. Depression just kind of sickness created by unstable heart and miserable just kind of plot by twisted mind. Hold our shaken heart, untwist our twisted mind, then we’ll see the bright blue sky is always right above us.
