Maple Syrup

2009-01-19T22:48:00.001+08:00

Tools used to extract the maple syrup from the trees. They reminded me of the similar tools used to extract latex back in Malaysia. These were found in our favourite shot in Quebec City, the shop which sells great maple syrup products and friendly shopkeeper! =)

This is one of my favourite photo from the entire trip. Unfortunately I missed the headshot of the horse, otherwise it could be a great photo! *wink* It's what photography is all about-- timing! I just missed it by few seconds, and you'll never get the same composition again.

一封给自己的信

2008-11-11T00:03:00.004+08:00

好久好久

没有对自己认真地检讨过了

事变物变人变

我变了

变好变坏，不得而知

因为

从来没有面对自己的勇气

人总是如此

越害怕的事情，越想知道

但，知道了，是好是坏

还是需要面对

没人逃得过现实的残酷

自欺欺人不是一劳永逸的解决方法

人说，

当你有勇气面对自己的时候

就是你跨了往成功之路的一大步

你有勇气面对自己；

表示你已有了面对一切的勇气

人与人的交往

不同的人

让我领会了不的教训

让我上了许多宝贵的课

对人的本性

有新的认识

对我的人生

有新的领悟

重新对自己有了更深一层的了解

我厌恶人云亦云的行为

可笑的是

我竟也染上了

是时候改掉了

因为那不是原本的我

我

一个来自小地方的小孩

对未来人生

有远大的梦想

有远大的抱负

渴望成功

不是为了金钱的诱惑

是因为我了解

它会对我与家庭带来的改变

金钱重要吗

是的

但金钱对我来说不是一切

为了满足物质上的享受

而出卖自己

值得吗

我不需要山珍海味

我不需要顶尖设计师的服装

我不需要百万名车

来满足我的虚荣心

这些只是我成功的对动力

我只需要让自己活得好一点

钱是赚来花的（花得适当是也）

就是因为我穷过

尝尽了穷困的滋味

看尽了人性的真面目

我答应自己

不再有第二次

上流社会好吗

当然，

那可是地位的象征

但是

上流社会适合我吗

未必，

因为我不属于那里

假惺惺的行为

为金钱出卖自我

对人说人话；对鬼说鬼话

呸！

我不稀罕

问谁不想平步青云

问谁不想含着金钥匙出生

但我庆幸我不是

这些年来的苦工

让我更珍惜现在的一切

轻易伸手的来总觉得不实在

别怪我太自我中心太自私

因为你没经历过我所经历过的

社会的残酷

你见识了多少

当你见惯了

社会的冷暖

再下定论吧

我承认我变了

但似乎我重新找到了自己

多谢了一个人

她

让我见识了多面人的恐怖

一变再变

真想知道

她是否知道她自己是谁

她是否开心呢

何必呢

做人做得如此辛苦

值得吗？

换来的是自身的痛苦

我不想

真的不想

变成那样的我

我宁愿

得少一些，赚少一些，花少一些

因为

至少我知道

我会活得开心多一些

那里不适合我

也许他们身不由己

但是

牛不喝水按不得牛头低

成功了

还是可以维持自我不是吗

太可怕了

郑干平，我不允许你变成那样子

是时候

对自己做出一些些承诺

对未来的一些期许

是时候再努力些了

要不然目标就快说“拜拜”了

突然想念中学的一班死党

因为我们用心交朋友

从来没有虚假的一面

说与不说

没有避忌

然而

是时候往前看

不应停留在往时

改变自己

让自己进步吧

做一些让自己不会后悔终身的决定

一起加油吧朋友们！

打拼的同时别失去了自我

别忘了初时的梦想与理想

不然

再成功，再有成就的你

也不再是原本的你

祝愿你我！

幹平上

A quick preview of what I had just finished shooting on Friday.

Much

2008-07-28T11:59:00.002+08:00

Well...I do have plenty of time, but the thought of blogging didn't come across my mind. I have lotsa thoughts running in my mind lately. Putting them in words is somewhat too difficult for me. Its easier to articulate in Chinese but its harder to type in Chinese ping-yin.

I wanna to write about what I've realized during a trip to hospital, which made me realized is so vulnerable and how should I live in the future.

I wanna write about the zero preparations I have done for my Canada departure, that I am goofing off at home every single second right now.

I wanna write about the great show which my juniors had put on during the "Malam Bakat". I enjoyed the show entirely this time and the rare outing with best friends.

I wanna write about the recent small gathering among a few our friends since last Chinese New years, which we shared our own study experiences at different places and updated ourselves with the news of other pals.

Soo much to write, so lazy to write. Haha...

Anyway, as I re-read "Nanjing- A Love Story 1937" as requested by Regina, I found an interesting quote which seems suits me well and in fact very true indeed.

"For a long time, it seemed as if there were but a thin piece of paper between them and with one puncture the floodgates would naturaly pour open. ... The reason he never punctured that piece of thin paper was not that he didn't love hre, and even less that he didn't want to - on the contrary , he loved too much, he wanted her too much. Sometimes not tearing that thin piece of paper can be the most beautiful thing in the world. Once you puncture it, all of the things that were once so gorgeous and enchanting disappear like the wind."

Cheerios.

2008-07-14T02:40:00.003+08:00

Was isolated in a country area for 5 days without any connection with the world outside except handphone. No newspaper, no internet and the life sucks.

Well, I guess it's pretty fun for me because I chose to ignore all the lectures they had given us. They are plain "niu fen" (mandarin). Pak Mali is a great guy to know, he is fun and he is good towards us. He taught me cencaluk. Ahha...I guess that's the only thing I learned from that camp.

"Dah makan, anak?"

"Dah Tuan, makan cencaluk tuan!"

"Kamu ni, cicak jatuh pun mati!!"

"Huh, ape ni tuan?"

"Aiks, cencaluk kamu ni!!" (followed by whacking my ass)

"Tuan, ngan la macam ni...." (manja...)

"Cencaluk.....!!!!!"

Oh well......Not everyone can understand tha, but that's how I communicate with Tuan Mali through the entire camp. I felt like we have known each other for years even though the fact is that we just knew each other for few days.

Talking about politics. I reckon I've discussed more than ever in these five-days time. I am not gonna repeat them all over again. Just a few questions from me and statements before I go to sleep.

1. Riots and havoc are virtually unavoidable for a country to achieve more democracy.
2. What will happen if you have the "power" for 50 years?
3. Opposition party is good but not too powerful.
4. Can Pakatan Rakyat handle the government well if they were to take over the country's administration today or tomorrow?
5. Can reducing the petrol price really help developing Malaysia's economy?
6. Can Anwar Ibrahim live up his hundreds of promises after he really re-obtains the power?
7. Be rational, but not emotional.
8. Filtered every news that you heard or you read. Don't put your human brains to shame.
9. I support neither BN nor PR. I support the political party that can really put Malaysia back on track.
10. Dont be fooled by any political parties' propagandas.
11. "no politics is good, nor bad. if it benefits you, then it's good. if it doesn't, then it's not." --TsueyXin's dad

Went to Ipoh last Saturday after my finals. That's the first time I step on the old town, a town which reminds me of the old time memories with its rows and rows of shops and a cup of addictive white coffee. Sitting at the roadside, seeping the hot drink while enjoying the bustling of the old town was an enjoy, a fabulous enjoy. Oopps....let the pictures do the rest...^^

Reminiscence II

2008-06-14T20:55:00.007+08:00

Short note: Although I have lots of spare time now, I feel extremely lazy to update. :p

Okay...My result wasn't really outstanding compared to others' . Hence, I did not really put high expectation in getting a place in the scholarship. I was aiming for a place in LSE instead. The surprise came on a usual morning with my eyes half closed while checking the result via online. My eyes nearly popped out when I saw the word "TAHNIAH" and the word CANADA. I was thrilled, honestly. And the next moment I was leaping here and there, shouting in excitement. Muahaha~

Picture grabbed from Google

Guess what, I was arranged to study in Taylor's for my pre-university program. I switched from A-levels to ICPU. It seems destined that I got to complete my pre-uni studies in Taylor's University College. =.=''

I was practically doing nothing and did not pay attention after the result was out. And in March, I got my first doggy as pet...

Till now....I do not know how to spell her name.. :P

It's so much fun playing around with a tiny puppy but I hate cleaning the her pee and poo. Ahha...

Before I left PE5 organized a farewell party for me at Pizza Hut. And that was a memory for life. It's the first time I was thrown into the swimming pool with jeans on. ^^

The only group photo I have..sobs

Ahha....

I still keep it intact till now....

And so, I left SS15 and went to stay in the Taylor's hostel in Ridzuan.

My virgin night in Ridzuan Condo

It wasn't really that bad as compared to my initial impression of the hostel. I'd heard a lot of bad things about it but I found it actually not that bad. Provided that you have good roommates and housemates, you will enjoy great time with them. Looking back now, I am grateful I had a great bunch of housemates. ^^

Wei Heng and Jason are not included...

The Couple in our unit.

That's all for now. I guess I am running out of inspiration to continue this post. :p

Reminiscence

2008-06-05T21:21:00.005+08:00

18 months. I can't determine it's long or short but one thing I am certain is that living Subang here really gives me lots of sweet and nice memories. They are memories for life, not single is meant to be forgotten. The announcement of SPM results, obtaining scholarship, A-Levels and ICPU and the list goes on.

*Speechless for some moments =)*

What should I say? Friends, lifestyle, and everything. Ahha, there is just too much to be expressed through words. Fortunately, I managed to capture some pictures. Looking back at these pictures, the thoughts are flooding my mind non stop. Yeah, I feel grateful right now.

Let the pictures narrate my life for 18 months here, away from home...

Another milestone in my life...First proper graduation perhaps. ^^

My first Pre-Uni programme -- A-level. Today I think it's lucky that I did not continue the programme.

Mind you, these are for first semester only. ==''

And during A-level, I met a big bunch of good buddies there -- PE5. Although I left the big family 6 months later, I sad because we were just getting to know each other better at that time. They are simply great. It's fabulous to have known them. Although we are not as close as before, trust me, I still love all of them, every of them. Cheeps, Kin Keong, Hui Eng, Nick, Beatrice, YONG HAN, Joyce and lots more. I do not forget you guys at all, just that my schedule had been too hectic to hang out. Sorry~

*Okay, I will come back to PE5 later.*

The inaugural gathering of 5.0-ians after the graduation during the Chinese New Year at Ee Yoong house.

To conclude it all with one sentence, I would say my secondary school life was pretty awesome, at least for me. It did pave the future's road smoothly for me. I learned a lot, really a lot. It shaped into who I am now. Thanks to the school, the friends, and of course the teachers. Tell me, how on earth could I forget about them?

Nevertheless, we have to move on in our life, and so do I. My college life did not really have lots of sparks and I guess A-level just put me into the similar M'sia education system, which is BORING.

We celebrated Wei Bing's birthday, with his roommates. Ahha....what a memory again....

Asia Cafe, Mamak for football? NO. My room with internet connection. Haha...what an enjoy after a week of boring lectures.

My life in A-level was quite boring. And it really was until I got my SPM result...

I am not bragging or boasting or showing off or what so ever.... =.+

End of Part I...........Stay tuned for squeal...=)

@#$%*!! Here I am sitting right in front of computer, not studying anything but blogging when the exam is just tomorrow. The morning blue struck me, so let's just rant something here.

Yeah, photography is fun thing and it has lots to awaiting us to discover. You capture the world with the pictures, the pictures that you see with your eyes. Every picture carries a timeless moment. And there are several categories in the photography, say portraiture photography, street photography, studio photography, black-and-white photography and the list goes on.

Personally, I have recently found myself greatly in love with black-and-white pictures. These monotones pictures can really get me excited. Although colourful pictures are delightful to be seen by eyes, black-and-white pictures have more oomph in telling the stories behind the pictures. They are just like precious gems, good black and white pictures of course.

It's not easy at all, mind you. I am still trying hard to get the hang of it. Ahh...I gotta hone my skills after the finals. >.<

Shot this during the riot at KLCC. Reprocessing into black and white injects a greater feeling into the picture.

Nothing much, just trying the post-processing work flow.

Shot this while on a speedboat at Langkawi. You guess the story yourself.

Reflection can be real beautiful sometimes.

Ahha...I nearly converted all my studio pictures into black and white. ==

Just in case you miss this in the earlier post, it's my better attempt(my best luu...XD) to date.

Comments and critique are greatly welcomed. Some pictures I have posted earlier are not repeated here. ^^

OKAY NOW TIME TO BRUSH MY TEETH.......and perhaps study???

Update

2008-05-24T02:57:00.002+08:00

At last i managed to squeeze some time to update my blog. Alright, life has been pretty much easy lately. Just a handful of assignments and tests finished. The best thing is that final exam is finally around the corner and it also marks the near ending of ICPU.

And guess what, I learned DOTA two weeks ago and now I am kinda addicted to it. How ironic, I was telling myself that I would never learn DOTA but now I am starting to like it.

Putting aside th game topics, I am actually amazed of how a simple game could link people up. Because of DOTA, I start chatting to some of my secondary school friends that I once thought our relationship would just end like that. Haha...it's just amazing. A game is not only a game but also a tool of communication if you know how to utilize it.

Graduation is approaching. Well, personally, I think it's a good sign because it represent another milestone in our life. However, I would not have learned so much if not because of JPA scholarship. It brings another depth to my life. I could see the bigger picture of my life, my future life.

What is a friendship? Simple question, but powerful and penetrating enough to make you use your whole life to grasp the gist of it. It's real funny to see how you contradict your older-self and some hilarious statements you had made in the early age.

Oh well.....people change..

Chinese

2008-05-12T23:55:00.004+08:00

Here's one inspirational post for all my chinese readers. Forgive me for being lazy to type all the words. I am just slow. at typing chinese characters.

Tell me what you think about it guys. It's very true....most time while we're busy blaming other people, we never realize our own mistakes, even a big one. And that's what will halt you from being successful.

Cheers.

2008-05-05T16:17:00.002+08:00

What's the point of this post? I have no idea. :P Simply some random rants.

It's been quite a while since my last post of my thoughts. Through my observation of the little world around me, I keep pondering will people remain the same for years, say after 30 years. I really doubt so. In such a short period of one year or two, we can always notice drastic change in some people, not to mention 10years and above.

Yea, it's the norms of this world. You gotta change to keep up the pace with this world as the world is always changing without any single warning to it residents.

And I say, never expect your friends to be the same even after years. For now, all might look good because it involves pure friendship. But I always say, things will never be same again when it comes to money, families and works.

Friendship and relationship are both complicated to handle. If you think they are easy, do take back your words and think again. You will never know what a "friend" will do behind you, and when you realize it, it's way too late.

If friends around us are changing, and we are not changing, it's a good or bad? I have seen many of my friends transformed into someones that I never knew. They are total stranger to me, even though we were that close years ago. Is it my fault or theirs?

May be they are changing and I am not changing.

I am one old conservative bastards.

But who cares, I live the way I want to. :P

Below this has nothing to do with the post above.
To Wilson, if you happen to be reading this post, hereby I apologize for the previous mistakes I had done. :( I hope it's just another minor fraction in our relationship. Cheers.

Friday

2008-04-30T00:55:00.001+08:00

Thank God It's Friday, after one whole week of torturing from lecturers, in terms of mentality and physically, certainly we deserve a nice treat for ourselves. And last week, we decided to give the TGIF restaurant a try. I have heard of it's prestigious reputation for umpteen times, but have never gotten the chance it check it out. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and my only regret was I did not try their famous steak. =.=''

Nevermind, I will bring my mum to try on the Mother's Day. Hey, she deserves more than I do and I will pay for her. :P

It's FRIDAY, it's WEEKEND. Wee~

All of us, except me who was taking this photo. (From left to right: Victoria, JiaMan, Yuen Yee, Josephine, Jeanne, Siva, Kent, & Kuang Yau)

Jia Man, The LanSi face... :P

A rare smile from that fellow.

I would say this is the MUST-TRY item from all the choc lovers out there. It's soooo sinful eating the Mocha Mud Pie. The choc chips, the choc milk, the caramel, and the mocha cake made me feel so guilty.

Of course there are more pictures about about food, but most of them are underexposed and the pictures are blur as I was trying to capture with my phone. BUt why bother to drool over the food by looking at the pictures here. Just save skip some dinner and go for the 3-course set meal. I reckon it wont be a bad start if you are a first timer.

21st

2008-04-21T00:01:00.004+08:00

What's so special about 21st? 21 years old? 21st century? Tim Duncan(jersey number of NBA player)? number after 20th? It is so ordinary that no one would pay attention on it.
But what if 21st comes with April, in other words, on April 21st? Still, what's so special about it?

On April 21st every year, what you would normally do? I guess it might be more interesting on weekends, where you can hang out with peers, clubbing, traveling, or just lying down sleepily for the whole day.

And you may start asking me: "Kanasai, what is so special about April 21st laaaa, your birthday ah?"

I would gladly answer you: "Kanasai, you don't know my birthday meh. April 21st is important because it's important lah!"

Yea, yea...you may give me this kind of response:

"You want me to smack you ah now?!?!"

No matter how you smack, every April 21st remains exceptionally important for me. It's a day, I would never forget apart from my parent's birthday and my birthday. It's the day when I celebrate the my bestest friend's birthday.

Now I tell you why:

We ran into each other's life when we knew nothing about friendship.
We enthusiastically shared everything about ourselves since then.
We growing into the level of friendship that we did not expect at all.
My instinct told me she is the friend of my life, only after knowing her for years.
Almost nothing can replace and can ruin this solid-as-gold friendship for the rest of my life.
Simply amazing isn't it?

So, do you think she is important to me now? She would be equally important as my partner is, no matter what happens.

And April 21st is her birthday, what a memorable day man!!!!

Always as charming as she is!

Happy Birthday dear!!! Muacks~

Best Wishes,
KP

P/S: Thousand apologies for not being able to celebrate with you. =.=''

To those who doesn't know her name, find it in this post. If you look hard enough, you would be able to find her name. :P

1st time I took 45min LRT....

1st time went to Wangsa Maju...

1st time went shooting until 11.34pm...

1st time I learned studio shoot setup...

1st time had model photo-shooting session with two pretty young ladies...

1st time I ate one maggi goreng that could last me nearly hours...

And this is what I get in return except exhaust and tiredness...

Deng....Of course it's not good because I did not have proper attire.

Cheerios~ I really need to get some sleep now.

ATTENTION!!!

2008-04-17T20:54:00.006+08:00

Hey guys, I am officially looking for partner for a Redang diving trip in the coming June. For those who may be interested, here are the itineraries:

Time : Most probably the week after 4th of June/12th of June, as I have to sit for final exams and the graduation thingy.

Destination: Redang Island

Accommodation: To be decided.

Transport: Most probably by land, because I just checked the Berjaya Airlines, which cost freaking RM500++ for a return ticket, tax EXCLUDED.

Approximate Budget: Approximately 800, perhaps can keep it lower than 1k.

Number of Partners: I am actually looking for 4-6, which will be ideal.

Those who are really interested, can either drop me a mail or leave me a comment here, preferably before April ends. I would be more than glad to answer any question. AND, to those who wants to go to Redang but not willing to spend too much money, this may be the time. BUT, I can't assure you how much we will be spending eventually for my Langkawi trip last December was way over-budget. :P

Thanks.

UPDATE :

MOST PROBABLY we'll be going by bus, which will take us around 8 hours. Hence, it's ideal that we should spend one night in the bus.

And I have got the prices for diving. D check out HERE, and look at not others categories but the "Discover Scuba Diving". It's a short course recognized by PADI, you can get you certification after the short lessions, and will be taken into account if you were to get the PADI license in the future.

Stay tuned for more updates.

杀哪间短四年光阴已逝，
无可奈何记忆依然犹新，
同一画面依循播放在脑海里，
一丝一丝的回忆触人伤感，
当日的无知换来今日的遗憾，
曾经的拥有换来一生的教训，
愚蠢的自以为是让回忆不再完美。

破镜难再重圆唉。
...祝她
...4/16 生日快乐

Folks, sorry for posting in Chinese for I can't express accurately what I wanted to if I were to use English.

Life

2008-04-11T20:54:00.004+08:00

Curiosity kills the cat. And this curiosity has led to another inspiration for me, a clearer vision of what I am chasing for in my life. Out of curiosity I clicked on the one the PhotoMalaysia's veteran member, DigitalArtist's website and read his biography. His experiences and current lifestyle are truly amazing, one that I have always been looking for in my future life. Some excerpts from his website:

"I am a Gentleman of Leisure, unemployed, and loving it. I used to work for an oil company until they booted me out when it was fashionable to restructure. It was the perfect excuse for me to bum around, do the things I've always wanted to do, see the world, and shoot pictures for fun. I've always been interested in photography, but the demands of work meant that I had to put that interest on the slow burner. Although I've lived and worked in the UK, Europe, and Indonesia, and traveled extensively throughout the world on company business, I hadn't really noticed the places I'd been to. In that previous life, it was simply airports, luxurious hotels, low value-adding self-serving meetings, great restaurants, airports and home again."

Our lives are not just about working and earning more and more money. At least not the life I am looking forward to. Although, you may argue that without money, we won't be able to have the leisure to do all these, say traveling and have kinda retired lifestyle. Indeed this is true, but personally, I think it really depends on how a person want to shape his/her own life. Like DigitalArtist, he has chosen a life that will guarantee him unforgettable experiences that leave him no regrets while he leaves this world. The experiences you gain from different cultures, different history backgrounds. All these are things that you will never be able to buy using notes and coins.

Honestly, I envy him that he has gone to virtually all the places in this world.

"And I saw also some of the natural wonders of the world in all the major continents, like the beautiful lakes and waterfalls of Jiuzhaigou, the awesome Iguazu Falls on the border between Brazil and Argentina, the high altitude grasslands of Xiahe, the Altiplano of Bolivia and Peru, the Grand Canyons of the Atlas Mountains in Morocco and that of the Colorado River in Arizona, the stone forests of Yunan in China, and the Stone Forests near Uyuni in Bolivia, the amazing glaciers of Patagonia, and the longest glaciers outside of the polar regions in the Karakoram." and the list continues......

Tell me what's more important than exploring the world as much as you could and add more colourful pages into your life's diary. His children must be blessed by God that they could follow their parents to numerous places, even before they know how to walk.

I also learned something through reading his biography. You come to world with nothing and leave the world with nothing. Saving lots of cash in bank doesn't mean that you are rich. It's the experiences in your life that make you "rich". The "wealth" is irreplaceable by anything and that's the beauty in which you can only discover through travelling to different parts of the world.

"I suppose I've been lucky to have been able to travel and shoot pictures for fun like I've been doing these past few years. It's really not impossible for most of us to also do it if we set our minds to really do it. Just dont change your car for the newer model every other year, and dont be reluctant to liquidate assets to raise cash for travelling. My wife and I drive cars which are 15 years old...although mine has twin turbos, 320 bhp under the bonnet, and does 0 to 100 in just under 7 seconds....... We are selfishly spending our children's inheritance, and I firmly believe that your money is not yours until you spend it on yourself. I believe too that people who have money and no time are exactly in the the same boat as people with time but no money. When they die they will be just as poor as when they were born....and their heirs will buy expensive cars and travel the world with their inheritance.....

Go on. Liquidate some assets. Drop everything and make time for yourself before its too late. Get off your butt and go see the world.....

Maybe you too should quit working, eh? For most people that would be quite unthinkable. For most professionals - doctors, lawyers, and businessmen - it is a fact that they will probably still be "working" and busy making more money for their children and heirs on the day before they die....."

My current aim in my life: To make as much money as I can before the age of 45 and realize my dream and have the life I want afterwards. - KP

Reading

2008-04-05T21:00:00.003+08:00

I always love reading as they can provide me knowledge that I would never have thought of getting them from the tedious textbooks. And it's true so beneficial to a student, especially to a student like me who is bored with the theories stated on the textbooks.

And when Dr.Sec, a MyChiaroscuro's member picked me up to a TT sessions with a fellow forumers, he reminded me of something: What's the point of reading if you can't remember the facts that you have read? When people ask a question, what's the point if you cannot vomit them out so easily like snapping your fingers. And too bad, this happens to me. I read numerous magazines, novels, and newspaper every day and every month, but all the knowledge in factual form can only seem to be lingering on my mind for just a few days. Damn!!

Thanks to my lack of concentration in doing everything. TKP, you know what have been doing! So, I have the decisions set in my mind. Let's wait see the outcome. It would be better and when it does, I would be one-level higher in my life.

P/S: I will restrict myself from spending too many hours on games everyday as they are just a waste of time. =.=''

An advice to all of you here: Better stay away from this freaking potent poison. It can seep into your blood veins once you get your hands on it. Right, I am Poisoned now, only games can cure me. The graphic is just fabulous and outstanding. God of War + Chain of Olympus is just another mind-blowing combination. Wakakaka......

Last Thursday, I went to Sunway Pyramid to get my dad his birthday present. I didn't to be bored of shopping alone and hence I drag KY along. Once he heard the name Sunway, one word popped out from him right away -- Sushi! Yea man, both of us are sushi lovers and he had never tried proper sushi before. We were so craved for sushi until we gobbled down, erm.......10? 15? it's 21 plates of sushi.....muahahaha. Don't believe?Proof's here. The appetizer.

Told you...it's Sushi King

Wanna count? Go ahead...

Look at the plates towered beside the little cup..>.<

The aftermath

After one hour, we walked out from S.K, barely to move because we were just toooo full. The best part of it was that KY burped 14 times after the dinner. Ya, 14 times.. =.=''

Oh ya....we hit three-digits for the bill that night, as what we planned to do initially. Huhu...when's the next one huh?

I has been quite reluctant to write about 12th election all this while. I always thought I do not have the right to influence anyone to cast their vote for anyone. However, when the results were out, I was gob-smacked and stunned.

Yea, I do know that the huge defeat of BN indicates another beginning for Malaysia. But, overall, this is not a good trend to be followed by fellow Malaysians.

The trend setter in the Parliament. Oopps...

The election brought us hopes by opposition parties, finally, after 50 years of independence and so- called democracy. BN has been nominating the government and the parliament for nearly half a century. It's high time to make change in the government and lead a better life for Malaysians.

I would say Malaysians now have realized the mistakes they had done in the previous by letting BN won by 90% of the Parliament. The bigger hope we put, the more disappointment we will get at the end, and this has taken toll on Malaysians. Corruptions and social ills have been the major issues since the last election. The rates increased rampantly and rapidly, enough to make anyone who is rational would start questioning the abilities of our leaders. I shall not elaborate much about all these since me myself do not have the strong evidence to prove them. But, whether they exist or not, you and me know absolutely well and are well aware about them.

All these brought about the downfall of BN's government this time. I expected opposition parties to gain more seats in the parliament, BUT not at this margin. Undoubtedly, we feel good to deny BN's 2/3 majority after 40 years of their "dictatorship".

Nonetheless, Malaysian voters are too emotional this time. There were some ministers who deserved their defeat, say Samy Vellu and Zam. Who expected Prof. Koh and Sharizat to lose to two inexperienced newcomers? Chinese and indians votes obviously has swayed to the oppositions. Is this a good news?

Oh, I should not poke fun at a lost guy!

Think again guys. YOU kicked out the most experienced leader in Gerakan and pass the baton to a young indian doctor? What can he actually does for you? Prof Koh may have done some considerable mistakes during his 18-year tenure, but he can still fight the good of Penangites. And Sharizat's case, just because Nurul is the daughter of Anwar and hence she defeated the former due to her father's influence, or known as the "Anwar Effect".

Ever since he was released, he was plotting a revenge on BN who addressed him as betrayer. He has come out with a lot of social issues that are closely related to us. The most common one, the increase of oil price. Wake up guys, it's merely impossible for government not to increase the oil prices, given that the oil's price per barrel is being traded at approximately $106. No matter how much Petronas could earn, they would not be able to subsidize Malaysians fully. The more pragmatic way is to reduce the increase of the oil price, so that we will not shoulder such a huge burden overnight. Let's face it, face the reality, please do not fall to trap sweet-talk trap by BN, neither the over ambitious-plan by oppositions. They have never controlled the government before, all they know is to boasting and bragging (not all though), how we know they will not change once they have the power in their hands.

I am hoping that oppositions could eradicate corruption though there is only slim chance for them to succeed. In this election, we witnessed the power of 8% minority in Malaysia -- Indians. Basically, they are the real impetus behind all these. Do think twice before casting your vote in the future. Do not think that one single cant do much, in fact they can change the fate of our country.

You never experience it, don't say anything about it and don't emulate them.

Last but not least, oppositions and ALL POLITICIANS should and PLEASE stop provoking the issues among races in Malaysia. We do realize that there will always be a gap between us and other races. Most importantly, the gap could never be close by any means. If they do not handle this issue well, I would expect another 513 incident to happen again.

If you ever witness their corpses in the Nanjing museum, you know how terrifying ethnic segregation would be.

The riots, havoc and chaos and horrible, we do not know about it because we did not go through them. Try asking your older parents or uncles, I am sure none of them would want to experience all those again. Think about the carnage in Nanjing, China done by Japanese. There will never be a day that Chinese people would ever forgive Japanese for their cold-blooded behaviour. Similarly, deep from my heart, I wish not to see this happens in Malaysia. Who can deny that Malaysia is not a good place to settle down, despite the weaker politicians and de facto democracy.

Peace! .V..

Let's pray for a better tomorrow! Cheers~

Definiton of "Cute"

2008-03-05T23:09:00.007+08:00

The electricity was out suddenly at around 11pm on Monday night. Out of boredom, I "loaned" Wilson beloved doggy, Peki for a shooting session. Muahaha~ I was trying the get the setting right for the FL50R and I tried the bounce card, diffuser and direct flash. Looks like I still a long way to go in order to get the setting right at once.

The special collage I made for her. ^.^ First attempt! heee~

Personally, I love this picture. Look at her innocent expression. Any other words besides cute and adorable??

For this picture, I added motion blur to the background, adding a sense of dramatic into it.
"Stop being innocent, whack you only you know!"

Last but not least, special credit goes to Wilson for lending me his doggy.

Goodnight.

Got this tutotial website from Feicipet, SkrewSkrew member. It's to create the sin city effect on your pictures. I tried it but it doesn't seem to work well. Credit goes to HERE.

Enjoy it guys. I am sure it will make immense difference to your pictures. Provided that if you have Adobe Photoshop. ^^

I know I know...Give me sometime to think how to write about the MPO...

Giz...this is the "nightmare"...

2008-02-25T22:15:00.007+08:00

Went to MPO last Saturday. Ignore about the marvelous performance first. Cam-whorism has strucked me and hence the outcome is chiang chiang chiang:

Will post up about the performance soon. :P

Update

2008-02-22T19:36:00.004+08:00

These two were snapped during CNY. Found the nest on a tree beside my grandma's house. The tree was quite short, hence I grabbed a chair for enough height and the Liveview function did help me a lot.

Another panorama attempt from me after being taught by Henry(Blu). Quite ok i reckon. ;)

Top Picks

2008-02-10T21:37:00.000+08:00

Here are some photos which I myself classify them as the better ones in my piles of photos. Any comments are welcomed. Thanks.

This pict was taken during my recent trip to Shen Zhen, China. I was lucky enough to capture this moment as the small baby was trying to point his finger towards me.
Again, I think I was lucky enough to capture this precious moment when the bee hopped on this beautifully bloomed flower.

Shot taken at Petronas Quay, Langkawi. Personally, I love the combination of the boats and the formation of the cloud.

I was very close to the monkey while taking this shot in Pulau Daya Bunting, Langkawi. The whole island is full of monkeys, all sort of monkeys. Do pay a visit to the island when you visit Langkawi next time.

Some people say there is nothing special with this picture. But, I like the exposure of the background which makes the grass pop out with some golden colour.

This subject in this photo is the light tower on top of the Bukit Melawati. I post processed the pictures using to create the Orton Effect, an effect that is similar to the effect using soft filter.

Okay, that's all guys. Will post up more if I am able to snap more decent pictures in the future.

Goodnight.

Protes

2008-02-02T23:16:00.000+08:00

On 26th January, most of the scholars were supposed to attend an education fair held by CEC. Nothing seemed special about this fair at the first place. Not until when my friends told me that one demonstration would be held in front of KLCC, or called Protes. They were going to protest against the price increase in fuel and others essential items. Let's talk less and let the pictures do the talking.

And here comes my favourite photos of this demonstration.
As a government bonded scholar, I am not supposed to give any opinions against the government as it's stated as one of the terms. So guys...if you are brilliant....justify yourself.

Busted

Hehe...introducing my new toy--FL50R....another new member in my arsenal. Muahaha.....Do not ask me about the price unless you want aid me.

Long-Delayed

2008-02-01T16:10:00.000+08:00

This post was supposed to be posted last weekend. I had been too lazy to scribble it down and it's kinda private as well. Okay, I am posting this up because I do not want anyone to misunderstand me or whatsoever. It's so frustrating when people just would not trust me when I am saying the truth. Well perhaps , I had a poker face( in which I doubt so) that make others could not really read my facial expression. OR am I used to be the joker among my friends, and make you guys think that I wont be sad and upset at certain times?

Having lots of friends does not mean that everyone can understand me as well as Regina can. I am not bragging here, I reckon she knows more than what my parents know about me. Yea, it IS my fault that I would hardly tell anyone my problems, even my roommates. Yea, she is right, I feel insecure all the time, I do not trust anyone easily. Even after years being friends with me, you might not even know a single piece of shit of me. But I cant help it, I have been alone for so many years, I do everything almost on my own. You say I depend on my parents, true, but why not if they can afford, I mean financially. Other than that, practically, I solve everything by myself. I figured out the solutions myself( if I can), I cried to myself, I talked to myself, I scolded myself. Do you guys know about all these? NOT LIKELY. I could not stop you from thinking that single child could not be independent anyhow, then go ahead.

Thus, I do really appreciate when someone seem approachable for me. I always assume that my observations are always right. Again, I am no saint, I could be wrong, but to be frank, I won't admit it easily. For instance, I think I have made another mistake in judging people lately. I like reading people's minds, but not when I interpret wrongly. Do not think that I do not take you as my friends if I do not tell you about my private things. Sometimes, I prefer keep it to myself, and that's me, no one could change that.

My definition of good friends is not like we have to sms with each other everyday, telling each other about our daily routines, e.g, what am i doing now or what shall I do later. If so, why do not you find a girlfriend instead of a good friend. Good friend for me is that we could confide in each other whenever we need each other. We could be far apart, but with current technologies, I don't think if there is any barriers. How boring it could be if keep sms everyday and telling all those nonsense stuff. My good friend is not my intimate partner or girlfriend, why on earth should I tell them every thing about my daily life. Even I have told them, could they help me other than "oooic", "all the best", "good luck'. Heck, I do not need all these. I believe in myself. I would appreciate when these kind of messages are sent at the appropriate timing. After all, who is gonna do all the things, I am the one who controls my own life.

It would be an addition if someone could provide me constructive suggestions, you are welcomed anytime, given that they are useful. Many of my friends still do not how to differentiate when I am serious or when I am playful, apparently. Well, it's not your fault as I had given you an impression that I am that kind of person. Time will help you nevertheless.

Lastly, I truly believe myself that I am an rather introvert person, ain't I? I might be playful and annoying at times though. Duh~see... the first impression is there.

This is how I look at my friends and me. You can always disagree with me, I said ALWAYS.

Goodnight folks~

Short note: Argh...I think I am getting severe monday blues nowadays. Basically when comes to Monday I cant do anything at all, the concentration disappear just like that. -____-''

Photography is a bottomless pit. Once you step on it, you are, practically, dead. Once you get poisoned, it would be even worse. Trying all those deadliest lenses will make your wallet implore to you to stop right away. BUT guess what, any effort would be fruitless once you touch the lenses, any antidotes are useless, any attempt to overcome it is futile. Hah....I guess I have ranted too much here. Hmmm..when shall I be getting my FL50R. =.=''

Here are some pictures taken during the last Teh Tarik session and my portraits. Bluek~

Haha....guess how old is this camera? I bet you cant get the right answer. Well, it's 30 years old. It still can be used and snap smoothly. Kingshah inherited it from his father in late 70's. The scent that the leather of the camera body is just as unique as the camera itself.

See...noticed the sharpness and the details captured by the lens. There is no reason I could resist myself from buying this lens despite the high price tag. Hmm...wonder when can I get myself the 50mm F2. Ahhh~

This is Benny aka CompMac aka Mr.Rockers aka Chief with Fahrur's serengeti sunglass on.

Below are few portraits of mine. Fuhh...since when I have my own portraits. Thanks to Unpro and Fahrur. Lazy to write the caption guys...

That's al for today folks. Stay tuned for my life-risking Protes pictures. Goodnights.

Short note: Currently I have sooo much things to write in my blog until I could not really decide which to put first. Hmm...

Went to the CEC fair this morning and KLCC as well. Fuhh..for the first time in my life I tasted the feeling becoming a reporter! I was standing at the front-est line to capture the some pictures of the demonstrations held right outside the KLCC. What an unforgettable experience!

Wait ya for my pictures! Nitez~

Short note: I think I am actually studying Calculus by myself with the help of Wilson for my teacher does not seem to be teaching something constructive. S***...

Keke~ Finally for the first time I got myself a nice nice portrait. Taken by Unpro cum master lighting, the picture was fantatastic (well, at least for me :P). The picture did not go through any post processing to make me pop up from the picture.

Hah...the kung fu stance looks cool! Wachaaaa.....~

Here comes the group photo. From left to right(behind), compmac and his wife, alfosgo, lkm, (front)UNPRO, wasabi, ciklee and T-13.

Woooo...again, what a nice outing we have had guys. Looking forward to another even nicer one!Cheers~

Before I go, something ran through my mind when Victoria asked me: "What makes you so sure that J will be your good friend?"
I am no saint, and I could make mistakes as well. Definition of "friends" , what do I think about it?
I guess it wont be much different from others' but I do have my own principles when making friends. Friends are not a matter of jokes for me.
I appreciate friends but how?

Short note: Just came back from badminton in Subang Jaya. Exhausted now.

Okay, after snapping for hours, 8 of us decided to treat ourselves a better meal. Finally we ended up at a Halal Chinese Seafood Restaurant. We ordered a RM200 set dinner for 9 people. It was worthwhile, do not believe? Pictures will prove everything.

-- Pictures are taken by LKM as I was too busy eating.--

The menu.
One kind shell creatures that were fried.
Mantis prawn.
Crap. Ooops..CRABS
Steamed fish.It's fresh.
Prawns. Kinda small compared to Kedah's though.
Free dessert given.

Feel hungry? Go cook maggi now~

Short note: I lost my altogether 4Gb pendrives and was lucky enough to found it back. Phew~ On the other hand, I screwed 3 up points out of 26 for Calculus, stupid question. Anyway, I am going to another TT session with Oly gang tonight. Thanks Benny for fetching me. :)

Well......

As I promised, I will post up a post about the Sekinchan and Kuala Selangor trip made last Saturday. Less c*** talking, more pictures is how a travelogue should look like(though mine is not :P)

--Click the pictures for larger view--
Harvested paddy fields in Sekinchan.
On top of Melawati Hill, Kuala Selangor, where u can enjoy breathtaking silhouette sceneries, BUT given that the weather is good and not cloudy on that particular day you are visiting.
The light house on the Melawati Hill. FYI, this is the first ever vertical panorama attempt from me. It was tilted though. :(
Newly grown paddy.
Just another muddy route. But without this route, how does food rice on the plate come from?
I am wondering how many of my friends have never seen this kind of tractor before.Hmmm.....
Guys, if you have never been so close to monkeys in natural, pay a visit to Bukit Melawati one day. With one buck of long beans, I assure you would be surrounded by all these monkeys.
It's a Silver Leaf monkey species. Guess what is the colour for their junior?
Again, how many have seen the fingerprints of a monkey's palm??
Heee...I dunno anything. She just appeared in my camera.
I thought he was trying to shout: I wanna get freed!
Apek makan ice-cream while driving. This reminded me of something; being a driver might not earn much but the most important part is that he knows how to enjoy his work. Oh well...human just cant help stopping the desireS in their life.
Dunno why, I simply love the formation of the branches.
Dang~ it orange in colour. So cute isn't it? I bet he must be a Holland supporter.

And this concludes my Sekinchan posts. Ooopss not yet... I am waiting for Lkm's pictures for the seafood dinner. Yummy~

And, not forgetting some chun portraits of mine taken by Oly Lighting Masta, Unpro.

For more pictures, visit my gallery, here.

Stay tuned folks. Have a good day.

Ahh...I was rather busy for the past few days with my revisions and some photog outing( of course with Olympians). Okay, I can still handle my subjects for the time being, but not the IELTS workshop though. Gotta gear up for the test which will be held in early March. No way I am gonna get lower than 7 man. Enough of studies!!!

Last Saturday, I went to Sekinchan and Kuala Selangor for photog outing. Wohooo, it was totally fantastic. We had lots of fun there, looking forward to another one. Perhaps on Thaipusam day? :)

Taking a break from doing Calculus revision. Will upload the photo tomorrow, given that I got time! :P The sceneries over there was magnificent and the seafood in Kuala Selangor was yummmmy....

See ya guys...

Short note: Manu thrashed Newcastle 6-0 and took over the Arsenal's leader position in the league. I can't see the reason why they can't win the title this season, AGAIN. Woo~

On 2nd January 2008, Malaysians welcomed their new year with one shocking news -- Health Minister, Dr.Chua admitted he was the "main character" in the recent distributed sex video in Batu Pahat area. No one would ever expected him to be the character. He resigned after meeting our "beloved" prime minister on 28th December. Any form of criticism has come to him and he was lambasted for this immoral act-- have an extra marital affair.

Oh come on Malaysians, what's wrong with your brain? Why could Americans forgive their president, Clinton after his sex scandal was revealed? Are Malaysian too conservative? "We could not forgive one minister for doing such an immoral act," said the other ministers when interviewed. Funny, Dr.Chua is considered one of the best minister in the whole cabinet, executing his tasks almost perfectly and has never slacked. Malaysians FORCED him to resign just because one sex scandal.

He was not beaten by the sex video. Indeed, he was beaten by MALAYSIAN PEOPLE, beaten by some politicians who came out with right tactics. Only his wife has the right to question him about his affair and please, not YOU. Who are you to him? The only thing you should and could question him is that did he serve you well during his tenure, did he make any mistakes like other minister do? YOU think you have judges him correctly? Think twice. Why force him to resign given he did not come up with any mistake in his job as the Health Minister?

Dr. Chua is one of the promising candidates in the coming election, potentially taking over the MCA president post. For your information, he does have a certain level of influence in Johor state. He visited over 100 hospitals and health institutions during his 3-year tenure. Most of the hospitals were not visited by any ministers before. However, like I always say, politician is the dirtiest job in the world, you have to be very diry(cunning) to survive. His hard work was interpreted wrongly by other ministers, thinking he was very ambitious to achieve another high level in his career. And this invited him the imminent death.

Everyone who knows a little bit of politics would definitely know what's going behind all the unreal reports. Malaysian dailies do not report the truth, said a friend of mine, Siva and I strongly agreed with him. All reports are biased towards the government side and most of the newspapers are controlled by the government itself.

Sad to say, this booby trap worked extremely well. Another good minister had to end his career abruptly.

If you have paid enough attention to what he had said during interviews, surely you can find out who is the real mastermind of all these dirty tricks. I shall not elaborate much as I do not really know the truth myself, I am just basically analyzing things through my brains and eyes.

Malaysia's politic is sickening. Goodnights guys.

Okay guys, here I am again with my second blog. My last blog was closed due to very inconsistent updates. I won't tell you anything if you never ask me and that's me, don't ask why. Nonetheless, I have much thoughts about everything ( well, at least I think so). Hence, I am back for blogging again and hopefully this time I can update more consistently ( it doesn't mean everyday though).

If you ask me, I would say everything in this world worth a second look. Please think twice before saying anything or making any decision. I know, it's being repeated and repeated. I look at this world through my eves. Everything here is just my humble opinions on certain issues and topics. You can always disagree with you, do enlighten me with your feedbacks then. They will be deeply appreciated. I do not mind harsh criticism as I will take the good of them and try to improve.

Lastly, I don't high proficiency in English, do not expect high level sentences' structure from me. Will only start update tomorrow morning. Oops....should be this afternoon.

Good night everyone.
