SKETCHES OF MY TEENAGE LIFE

"Apa yang hang kelam kabut sangat tu Anis?" mak tok tanya lepaih dia tengok aku dok buat ramai kat dapoq.

"Ni dok buat kopi ni ha. Nak cepat sebab ada keja," aku jawab sambil tuang ayaq yang panaih menggelegak tu.
Lepaih dah rasa manis, pahit, tawaq hebiaq kopi tu, aku kelam kabut pulak ke atas, ke bilik aku.

POM POM POM POM! Bunyi kaki aku lari naik tangga. Rumah kayu la katakan.

"AMBOI TAK LAMA NANTI REBAN RUMAH AKU!" kedengaran mak tok menjerkah aku dari belakang.
Ops. Sorry mak tok. Couldn't control the excitement.

I quickly went into my room. And there they were... my sketch book, a few pencils, an eraser and a picture of a celebrity I was having a crush on at that moment.

Yes, drawing potraits used to be my favourite past time. Bila diingatkan, aku melukis lebih daripada aku belajaq dulu. Kalau tak mesti lani aku dah jadi doktor (ayam).

Aku suka lukis muka-muka artis Hollywood sebab orang senang nak recognise. Kalau aku lukis muka Tok Mami ka, Aci Ton yang dok belakang rumah mak tok aku tu, rasanya mak tok aku sorang ja la yang kenai.

I used to draw late at night, when it was quiet and peaceful. I would listen to my walkman (walkman, siot!!), and put on some good music (the definition of "good music" at that time was Spice Girls, 911, Backstreet Boys and Siti Nurhaliza's second album. Kantoiiiii)

So I just wanna share with you guys my collections. Dated waaaaayyyyy back in 2000 and 2001.

Ada suatu ketika ni aku minat gila dengan Britney Spears.
Lani dah macam tak dak pedoman dah aku tengok Britney Spears ni.

Mariah Carey.
I saw her picture and thought her hair looked great. So I drew her.

I love the shirt and her hair. This is Jennifer Love Hewitt.

Awww.. Jen and Brad back when they were happy together.
I used to draw Jennifer Aniston A LOT. She has amazing hair.

Jennifer Aniston....

Jennifer Aniston...

....and there she is again. I told you I drew her a lot!

This is one of my favourites. She is also my favourite Hollywood actress, Julia Robers.
I saw her and I couldn't resist. I could hear her hair calling me, "Draw me, Anis.. draw me." Well that was kinda creepy.

Oh boy. Ok, N'SYNC was a big hit back then and I fell in love with Justin Timberlake.
So ada suatu ketika ni, tangan aku asyik la rasa tegeliat. Sebab apa? Sebab dok lukih rambut deni RAH!


Tengok punya banyak. Macamana tak tergeliat tangan aku?!

Ok next selebriti ni... nak kata aku suka kat dia, tak dak la sangat. Ok je la. Tapi ada jugak la lukis muka dia, tapi tak dak la banyak sangat. Sikit je, tak banyak. Sikit. Sikit sangat.
Siti Nurhaliza!

Lagi satu Siti...

.....Siti lagi...

....and here she is again....hmmm...

errr....and again...

....and Siti last punya!
What? I really like her? No lah! Mana ada banyak lukis gambar dia.. tak banyak ni.. *nervous sweat*

Oh yes, I remember this. This is my masterpiece back then. I was (and still am) a big big fan of The Lord of The Rings, and as innocent as a teenager, I was in love with Legolas.

Sepanjang dok lukis ni, ada la berenti 20 kali dok rasa macam dia dok renung muka aku. Oh Legolas!

Anyway, I was planning to draw each of the character in LOTR. You know, Gandalf, Aragon etc. Lani bukan takat Gandalf, Gurkha pun belum tentu dapat lukis.

Tapi, dalam banyak-banyak potret yang aku lukis, yang bawah ni paling best:

Kenai tak?? Mesti la hangpa tak kenai, ni KOMANDER aku masa Diploma kat Arau Perlis dulu!!
Memang stalker sejati aku nih.

Terasa nak buat TEPUK TEPUK KOMANDO!
