Condemnation
There I stood in silence, not even a single trace of sound to be heard. Leaning against the beige window sill, staring right out through the window as I was in the middle of a daze. Or should I say, in the middle of a theory to be cracked. As the agony of betrayal pierced right through me as if it were to slice through my chest, the fringe of my chocolate brown hair covered my face to conceal the pain in my eyes from others to see.
It takes two hands to clap, not one. Therefore, why am I the only one to be blamed?, I thought to myself. It stated 3.10am on my Blackberry mobile as the screen illuminated when I was fumbling with the keypad. I was still wide awake since I could not get myself to sleep in peace, especially with the numerous questions and doubts which were flying through my mind repetitively throughout the long day. I then forced myself to walk towards my bed to lie down, hoping I would fall asleep sooner or later. Unfortunately, I was still unable to acquire some sleep despite the fact that my eye lids felt heavy and tired. Again, I fidgeted with my mobile. It was already 4.45am.
Caffeine; The thick yet rich fragrance of American coffee hung in mid-air as I was stirring my hot drink. What can I say? I needed something to boost my energy to survive throughout the next day. Anyway, I lurked towards the couch like a zombie to take a seat and ease my mind from those claustrophobic thoughts. After a sip or two from my cup of coffee, a sigh of relief escaped from my lips. Next, I shifted my gaze from my cup towards the huge wall clock that was on my right side. “Great, 6.15am”, I mumbled to myself. As the time passed by, those unwanted depressing thoughts squeezed through my conscience once again! Very irritating, I must say. Suddenly, my mother had startled me as she walked in the living room as I was in the middle of recovering and holding myself together emotionally and mentally. Before I could open my mouth to explain, she then said, “Something else happened, perhaps?”. My expression changed from a poker face to a disappointed face, she read it all. I nodded as soon as I looked away from her eyes. A tear drop slid down my cheek as tears welled up in my eyes even more. Moments later, she walked away.
This feeling inside me grew intensely by the minutes. As excruciating as it is, I could not help myself but to endure it in order to survive and to be a stronger person. Some people say I overreact, but they would not know how I feel since they have not been in such a situation as how I was at that moment in life.
A speeding train of thoughts were crashing through her mind as fear had started to swirl through her body intensely. A piercing chill ran down her spine when she finally snapped out of denial and entered into realization that she was all alone, lost in the unknown forest. Or rather known as, the middle of no where.
Since fear had strucked upon her drastically, she made a run for it. Tiny particles of cold sweat were forming on her dirty forehead and her heart rate increased as it beated faster than it usually did. There she was, trying to escape and to save her own life from a brutal death. Rushing past through the woods, pushing the huge leaves and vines away from her sight. “God please help me..”, she mumbled to herself. Suddenly, she had tripped over a thick wooden branch. A sharp thorn had sliced halfway through her left thigh. The smooth crimson red blood oozed out within seconds while she yelled out in agony. On the contrary, as she wondered what had she done to deserve this, she could no longer bear her sufferings. It was definitely excruciatingly unendurable. Tears welled up her eyes as the pain grew stronger by the minute.
Before she could even patch up herself, a sudden noise occured to her right. It was a few twigs which had been snapped. She then froze in her position, unsure of what she should do next. To her horror, she heard a growl. She then broke into sobs and started panting heavily. As the growls came closer to her, she shifted her gaze and tilted her head towards where it came from. Her face went pale and the only expression that was written across her face was a shock. A jaguar stood before her eyes, targetting her as its prey. She then knew that her life was about to come to an end.

As my eyes darted across the conference room from my left to right, the only emotion I could sense from them was anger. Yes, anger indeed. As I sat there feeling rather remorse and uncomfortable, their crystal eyes were strongly glued into mine, piercing right through my soul, as if they were trying to find faults in me. I dare not look back at them in the eyes.
Honestly, I felt so scared yet claustrophobic! I thought I was on the verge of fainting as the four walls around me seemed like they were going to collapsed right on my body, leaving me there to suffer in agony. The horrible burden was back again as it pressured my shoulders to the core, as if I were to be carrying heavy weights. The never ending trail of thoughts and questions were speeding through my mind like a bullet train as the migraine decided to kick in and take its’ place. I could not handle it anymore, I felt like screaming and thrashing out my feelings. It was excruciatingly unendurable! Within seconds, everything was back to how it was in the beginning - normal, or shall I say, back to reality mode as I got caught off guard.
On the other hand, I had decided to get a quick breather to cool myself down. As I strolled towards the huge brown wooden door, I could feel many pairs of eyes staring right at my back watching me as I go. Tears welled up in my eyes, blurring out my visions as I closed the door.
“Planet Hollywood or Hard Rock Cafe?” is the usual question which people would ask me. My answer would be Hard Rock Cafe. Not because I have been ‘brought up’, exposed or introduced to it since when I was a little girl, but it is because on how they promote and keep the tradition of American Rock and Roll. Eversince then, I became a fan of Hard Rock Cafe. As I grew up, I noticed that Planet Hollywood had changed slowly. Especially when the society has grown rapidly while the modernity in this world increases and changes from time to time. Like I had mentioned earlier on, Hard Rock Cafe still keeps its roots and the tradition of Rock and Roll - Well, that is my own personal opinion.
Hard Rock Cafe was founded by two Americans called Peter Morton and Isaac Tigrett in London, June 14 1971 but the HeadQuarters and the largest restaurant are located in Orlando (Florida) United States. The original theme or idea is a casual dining restaurant but as time passed by, due to the growth in business, the expansions have now included hotels, casinos and a theme park.
The restaurant chain is also known for its collection of Rock and Roll memorabilia - Rare photographs that were found are mounted up on the walls of the cafe, items that were auctioned are showcased around the outlet and also, autographed guitars.
I may not be a sports person, an artist or a musician but I do take a great interest in photography. To me, it is NOT just about “Oh, it is just another picture” kind of thing. There is definitely more to it! Photography is another branch in the ‘art world’. Pictures can describe a thousand words than what we speak, it can have meanings and emotions behind it.
This picture above is one of my random snapshots from my album. I would not call myself an “expert”, I would say “average” or should I say, a “beginner”. I never took classes or learned it from someone else. It was something which I have discovered for myself as I started to take random pictures constantly. Photography is something I love and I enjoy doing, more like a favourite hobby of mine. Hopefully, I would improvise and be qualified enough to be able to persue it for the future.
