Kaleidoscope Of Life

A couple of months back, I was looking for some quotes(my fave thing to do) and so I came across this lovely lovely pieces of artwork, which has some simple and meaningful wordings. i'd like to share some of these beautiful pieces here.
Just something about the person behind these original pieces...Her name is Valentina and she's a graphic designer in the US(sigh!)
According to her, she loves to work with different materials especially black ink and what I love about some of her work, it is the little intricate details that she creates.

here are some works of hers.

I have been observing this thing and experiencing it many times...and as much as it amuses me, it also irks me at the same time...
now what am i talking about? hmmmm...it's .... but before that let me just tell you my experience first..

i went to check out the new mall in KL with my sis yest, FERENHEIT...
my sis was raving about how much i'd like the place thought many of the shops are not fully operating as yet...
why would i love it? coz there're just tonnes of shops for shoes, accessories and bags! who wouldn't be!
so my sis n i wasn't really planning to get anything, well that's what we always tell ourselves, but will definitely come back home buying something!
ok, so back to this so called window shopping trip, so i went in one shop after another, and since it's a new place and not many people were thr yet (in the morning) so the sales person were friendly indeed following us, offering assistance and promoting their stuff....
and this is where the fun yet irritating thing happen....when the sales person was talking to my sis, most of them were talking in english, well yeah it's common of course, but then when it was to me, code-switch! it was then in MALAY! i mean why is it so? just because i'm wearing hijab and so i can't speak english? and my sis wasnt and so she must know english? and the funny thing was my sis and i was conversing in english all the time. hmmmm....i am definitely not against speaking in malay, i don't mind at all...but i wonder wht kind of stereotyping is that?

owh, but at times i will amuse myself by letting them try their best to explain in malay and fake ignorance in understanding even a simple english word....so take that! hahaahaha...

owh owh owh i just need to add this....once i went to sub zero store and my friend wanted to get a denim jacket. i went in and ask on bbehalf of her, "do you have denim jacket?" the guy looked at me long and hard, and asked in his so very rollinggggg rrrr english fake accent "sorrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyy what jacket?" to which i replied, 'denim jaket' and this went on like 3 times, while he went and ask another person who also had no idea what a denim jacket is. so he came back saying "sorrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyy no miss". ok so fine, as i wanted to go out of the shop i saw a few denim jackets....in blue and also black. so i told him, "tu ada kat sana..." and you know what he replied? oh, jeans jacket? i was likeeeeeeeeeeeee.................duh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and he looked at me as if i was wrong in calling tht a denim jacket! what in the worlddddddddddddd!!!!!!

ok back to the earlier incident, i believe we keep forgetting the saying "don't judge a book by its cover".
till then, i will try to keep being amused rather than irked everytime this happens to me...

I'm listening to "Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone"- Marvin Gaye over and over and over and over again...
