The “journey” of LOVE…

Most people have seen many different parts of the world. Have travelled the 5 continents but the one journey that would never fade in their memories.. is the journey where they find love.

Sometimes in our quest to find the “one”.. we make wrong choices..

It hurts..

But when we find the special person..

It lights up our lives even at the darkest hour…

When together.. the winding journey becomes smoother.

This travelogue is dedicated to those in love.. searching for love.. or those fallen out of love…

Love… Actually.. What is Love?

I had a long chat with a friend in FB just now. He posted this question to me…

What is Love?

I gave him all sorts of funny (and annoying) answers but he kept pressing…

What is Love?

Then I knew.. he’s actually lost.. Confused… Just like so many others..

Can anyone here.. tell me.. what is “love”?

In your own words… through your own experience.. whatever…

As I think.. once you see love.. you’ll know love and will fight for it…

Spiderman counting chickens…

I’m sure you’ve heard of the saying..

“dont count your chickens until they hatch?”

Well.. before I begin.. I’d like to wish ya’ll a Happy New Year.. My New Year was pretty much happy.. because…

I’ve just gotten a promotion

You see, yesterday, my friend called me up to tell me about the good news. I was shocked.. then the whole day, I was in a daze..

Why in a daze you say.. ok.. In my line of work.. when you get a promotion, it does not necessarily mean a pay rise. In my case, it was a pay cut. For a while that is..

But.. before I get the job.. I have to go through a series of tests and exams.. So again.. it doesnt mean I got it.. yet..

With this new post.. comes new responsibilities. Bigger responsibilities. Just like Spidey.

“With great POWER.. comes great RESPONSIBILITIES”

So.. that’s how I came up with the title Spiderman counting his chickens.. Hahahahaha…

Funny kan my jokes…??? Hahahahahah…

Ohh… I’m wiping my tears coz I was laughing so hard at my own jokes..

Anyway, thats it lah for today.. I dont have any photos to post up but cannot lah like that kan.. I have to post something up but I cant find anything to match my topic. So how? You peeps dont mind kan if I post unrelated pictures as long as it’s nice to my sexy eyes right?

This is a Ford Mustang.

With my new promotion.. I wont be able to see it in a long long time…

Bye Mustang.. it was nice riding ya…

Have a good year ahead people..

Disputes???

Normally.. when guys chat.. it’s always a story of “mine is bigger than yours” kinda thing..

Everybody says that their more handsome lah.. better in bed lah.. got anaconda lah.. 3 hours lah.. etc…

But when pressed to show.. semua lari… Hahahahhaaa…

Anyway, I’m not like that. If i say “I’m hensem and 3 hours..” it’s true. :p

Okay.. so what’s this post about then.. Well.. recently, we had a teh tarik chat and we started chatting about whose car is faster. It’s a never ending story of “my car got this exhaust.. got this intake.. got this sticker (stickers are known to add horsepower..hehehe) and so on and so forth..

To settle it.. we decided to drag and settle the problem.

Nice kan the picture?

Eh.. wrong.. DAMN nice kan the picture???

Hehehe.. Seriously.. Jokes aside.. this was an impromptu decision and it was done very quickly. Because of my skills and terrerness, we managed to wrap up the session within 2hours..

Well.. here’s a few more of the model.. The lighting was only the street lights as it was raining and my sb800 (flash) decided to just sleep after it got wet

Thanks for viewing and hope to see you all again next year.. Hahahahahahaha…

Boobies..

Firstly, please keep an open mind when reading this post. If you’re under 18 or easily offended, you dont have to read any further ok.  I’m just ranting here

 

The other day, I was reading one article on “breasts”.. Wohoo.. Well.. It was actually about breast cancer lah kan but then it had some feedbacks from men as well.. What do they think about breasts.. And.. since I’m a very cool and handsome man.. I’d like to give my take as well

 

Now.. I dont expect to see many comments on this as we’re all very conservative people. We dont normally talk openly about the human body kan.. unless when we’re in the company of our good friends.. hehehe… 

 

Ok.. so here we go.. after reading the first few paragraphs.. they were writing about bra size. Apparently, many women dont even know their correct bra size. Why is that? Is it so hard to go to the shop and measure your bust? 

 

 

 

And then.. they were saying that.. some women, use their designer bras or the push up versions for sports. Hey.. even I know that when you do sports, you’ll need a sports bra. 

 

 

Now.. let’s go in a lil deeper shall we? Let me get this straight.. women think that guys go bonkers when it comes to boobies. Seriously, not all guys dig big boobs. Most of us like it to be real. Big or not so big. It’s the truth. I shall not go into the right or wrongs here as I’m not here to judge and this is solely my opinion. So.. from that article again, women actually dress up for men. Meaning, if they’re trying to impress or attract some attention,  they might wear some low cut blouse. Ok. That works. On the attention part. But then, when people keep staring at it.. please dont get upset. Especially when you talk to them… they might not make any eye contact as those eyes are actually focussed on something else.. hehehe.. 

 

And then.. on some internet forum, they were discussing about this particular actress. She actually had a boob job done when those guys were saying that she looked much much better before she went under the knife. This is a before picture.. 

 

 

So.. what I’m saying is.. sometimes, women make the wrong call to actually have their boobs bigger only to realize that in actual fact, men want it to be natural. 

 

Now.. lets discuss about photographing women.. Sensually. 

On many photography forum, we have many photographers trying to shoot scantily clad women. From my opinion, it’s very hard to shoot to make it look classy and not make the model look slutty. There’s plenty of light play but many guys fail to achieve this. Here’s a few examples that I think worked.

 

 

Now peeps.. I didnt shoot any of the pictures here. I’m attaching it as a sample. Credits to the photographers

 

Ok.. Now finally, this is how I would like to summarize my little story here.. Guys may like to look at boobies BUT it is NOT the reason for them to fall in love. To all the women who might be reading this.. be proud of your own body. Be your self. 

 

” Dont let them say you aint Beautiful… they can all get f**ked just stay TRUE to you”  

 

 

 

*peace*

Flamin’ Hot…

Heyloooo people..

 

Let’s pretend like we’re in a concert and the Super Star on stage is asking the audience okay..

Since it’s my story.. So I’ll be the Super Star and you all can be the audience lah.. hehehe..

 

Ari Handsome: How’s everybody feeling? 

Readers: Feeling HOT !!!

Ari Handsome: Feeling WHAT??!!!

Readers: Feeling FLAMIN’ HOT!!!

Ari Handsome: YEAH!!!!

 

*at this moment.. you all clap clap your hand and do standing ovation laa..

 

Okay.. so now you may ask me.. why so hot laa right? And here’s the story why…

 

Recently, I was in Jakarta. For work incase you’re asking.. And while I was there, the weather was really Hot and I met a beautiful young girl by the name of Flame. 

So.. that’s where I got the title.. Flaming Hot.

Smart eh? I think I’m really cool lah for being so smart to think of such a cool title LoL!

 

Ok..ok.. enough with the compliments.. I’m flattered already..

 

Now, let me introduce Flame to you.. Well.. her name is Flame. 

She’s young and she happens to be a model. 

 

 

When I was there, I took some pictures of her when she and her brother Jesse took me to Taman Mini. Taman Mini is like a mini Indonesia. Very nice. But the only problem was, the park was mostly closed. So, we didnt get to see that much though. 

 

 

Ok.. let me continue my introduction of Flame..

She’s actually Portuguese-Dutch-Indian-Indonesian (Quite a handful eh? hehehe..) 

Currently, she’s teaching English in Jakarta and taking a break from modeling coz she’s 4 months pregnant. Even when pregnant, she could take some time off to show me around. That’s very nice of her and her brother.

We also went for some original Nasi Padang there. Excellent. Nothing like what we have here in KL.

 

Anyway, before I went back to my hotel, they brought me to some local DVD shop there. Bought a few souvenirs  to bring back home lah hehehe..

That’s when I took the picture of Flame which you saw at the top just now..

So.. before I end my story about my Jakarta trip, here’s a few more of Flame and her brother Jesse. 

 

 

*ok.. now you can do your round of applause like when the Super Star finish their performance on stage…

 

Clap..clap..clap.. 

 

Thank You…  ;) 

 

Nobel Prize Winner in the making…

Hey everyone…

 

Recently, I’ve been doing some thinking. I dont do it pretty often (the thinking part..) as it uses plenty of energy so, I try to save it for the really important stuff like, should I download Megan Fox or Scarlett Johansen’s picture.. or, how many pair of socks should I bring to work.. you know lah kan.. the kind of things big and important people think about. So, anyway.. I was thinking right.. what if I wanna be a writer?

 

A few years ago when I was still in school, I still remember my teacher gave me an A+ for my essay during one of the trial exams. But the actual exams no need to tell lah ok. I dont like to brag. Anyway, recently, I did 2 short stories for my company. I think the quality is so damn good that I might win a Nobel Prize. If I win it, dont worry, I’ll try to thank everyone I know here ok.. 

 

So, here’s the 2 stories. Have a read and tell me what you think.

 

In-Flight & Foreign Aidilfitri

 

Pilot’s pictures in Rome

 

Now.. I have plenty more stories to share but we’ll take it easy ok. 1 at a time. I know.. you all miss me. 

Hehehe.. Selamat ARI Raya peeps. 

 

Ciao!

Show off.. No lah..

There’s one thing I hate.. 

 

Show offs.. 

 

I hate it when people brag about something.. this laa.. that laa.. I’m the greatest laa.. you’re not terrer laa.. etc..

Please lah.. Other people got better things to hear than what you’ve just bought or how your 2 year old kid can read the encyclopedia.. yadaa..yadaa…

Boring!!

 

But.. I’m not like that right? I dont show off what I’ve done or anything like that kan.. I only share stories.. Nice interesting and educational stories. 

 

Like for example… This month, I wouldnt tell people that some of my work was published in a few local magazines. 

Ada I show off to people..? No right.. Ada I bawak jalan jalan inside my car just incase I meet a friend and accidentally drop it so that they can see my work? No. I wouldnt do such a thing. I’m not like that..

I never tell people that a few months ago I did a photoshoot with Estee Lauder and the pictures came out in Female, InTrend and Nu You magazine.

 

 

Sheeshh… I’m a just low profile and shy guy that never likes to do those things as mentioned above. 

 

In fact.. I dont even want to tell people that in the August issue of Digital Camera Magazine, one of my pictures won. 

 

 

Oh.. and I definitely wouldnt tell that I won a Giotto Ball Head. 

That’s so lame kan…

Menang Ball Head pun nak cerita ke..??? 

 

I’ll tell you one thing.. If I ever meet these kind of people who likes to brag kan.. kan.. you know what I’d do…

You know what I’d do???

 

…..

 

….

 

I’d give them a pat on their back..  :)

Hehehehe… 

I’d say to them… ‘WAH!!! You’re so Terrer laa”

hehehehe…

 

So people.. next time if you win something ke.. dont show off okay.. it’s not good. 

Tak baik.. 

 

And if you happen to know people that likes to show off… dont get mad with them.. 

Sabar okay.. I’m sure it’s not their intention to brag..

 

 

Good Night people… 

 

Wakakakakakakaa…..

Roller Coaster month :)

Let me tell you that since my last post, there has been plenty of happenings in my life. 

Some ups and downs that really shook me a bit but it has stabilized a little now. Things have settled in and I can story a bit laa what happen. I’ll tell you about the “ups” okay..

 

“Say again??” What.. you want me to tell you what happen now..?

You’re so excited that you cant wait another minute to hear my story???

 

Oh well.. if you insist.. who am I to resist right.. hehehe…

 

Last week.. jeng..jeng..

 

jeng..jeng..

 

suspense is building up eh..

 

cold sweat is trickling down your neck..

 

jeng..jeng…

 

TADAAAA!!!!

 

The surprise is… my WEBSITE is up and alive at

 

http://www.ari7474.com/

 

Cool kan..kan???

I’ve got an idea.. why dont ya’ll go and check it out and tell me what you think.

What? You dont have time to do so?

Eh.. Come on laa.. It’s really nice.. Got nice pictures and all.. Very pretty. hehehe..

 

 

And then.. guess what again?

I went to the Sepang track with all the other Type-Rs. It was a really good outing with those guys but the main thing that made my day was.. I broke my own personal best time. Just like Usain Bolt. I broke my own personal world record. Previously, it was 2min 47sec but this time, I did 2min 44sec. That’s shocking news kan.. I shaved off 3 seconds. And I was wearing jeans some more. Imagine if I was using shorts and didnt eat breakfast and go poo poo before the session, I could cut down a few  more seconds kan. Sure become very terrer and then Ferrari would call me up to replace Massa and all.. Haish.. 

 

Hehehee… Enough stories about me now.. I m not so conceited laaa… Not as much as you think. heh. 

Just a few days ago, I was at a friends studio. His name is Azman and he just did his “studio mudio” launch. Very nicely done. Am very proud of him. Here’s some pics I took during the launch.

 

 

Ok lah peeps.. I have more stories but i’ll leave it for my next post aite.. 

and … just before i end this, I’d like to share a picture i took recently. I kinda like the mood here.. nite peeps.. thanks for your time reading this..

 

Ciao!

the Red Stig…

 

Ring..ring..

Me:  Heylooo…

Schumacher:  Hey buddy.. It’s been a long time ya.. How’s things..?

Me:  Eyyy.. Mikey.. Things are good.. How’s your F1 prep going?

Schumi:  Ahh.. it’s a little bit harder than I thought.. Anyway, Jeremy called me..

Me:  Jeremy who? Clarkson?

Schumi:  Yeah.. And he was wondering if you could fill me in as the Stig while I’m replacing Massa.

Me:  Aww.. man.. I’m a bit tied up with Model shoots and all but for you my old buddy.. I’ll squeeze the time..

 

And so.. that’s how it began.. 

You see.. for the non petrolheads, BBC has this show called Top Gear. The host is Jeremy Clarkson. And it’s a show about cars and all lah rite.. And the test driver for the show is called Stig. The identity of Stig is unknown. It’s normally either White or Black Stig. So.. to cut a long story short, Stig tests all the rides in Top Gear and he’s very famous. Recently, Michael Schumacher revealed he was the Stig. (fellas.. to know more.. you google lah okay..)

 

So.. now, I’m the Red Stig. And I’m required to test the Honda Civic Type-R (FD2R).

Here’s some technical specs  for those who wish to know…

Engine: 2 Litre iVtec

Horsepower: Can do lah.. Enough to smoke the normal Civic

Handling: Very Good.. 

 

So.. this is how it is during the test..

 

“Shall we go burn some rubber?”

 

And so.. off the Red Stig went accelerating from 0-very fast..

Huish.. Red Stig is impressed !

 

And then.. the brochure said, this car handles very well.. So.. lets see if the Red Stig can tame this beast..

 

 

Wow.. This car is actually quite good lah.. I think it’s more at home in the tracks than on the road but  for certain people.. you can use it as a family car to ferry the kids to school or to take your parents to the mall and all.. Up to you lah.. hehehe..

So.. this is the Red Stig’s verdict..

 

2 thumbs up !! Hehehehe..

 

 

Okaylah.. I’m actually on Annual Leave and was supposed to go on vacation with the family but with the AH1N1 and all.. we decided to take our holiday destination locally. Hence the time to actually come up with this story. Hehehe.. It’s nice right the story and the photography..? Thanks guys.. No hard feelings yaa.. 

Cheers!
