One Image; One Story

I don't believe in everything, but I do believe in karma. =)

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.

How ironic of our lives, always expect the unexpected and cope with them.

好久好久

Yes, I was once anti-Apple and anti-Ipod, for those who know me. And I have been supporting Creative all these years.

But but but..................I can't resist the temptation of Ipod Classic. The price dropped again recently. Ouch!

Huhu~~~80gb version.

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

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.

Finally tried my 70-300mm this morning. Shot birds la of course.

I am still trying the best handheld position for 300mm with 1/100s or less.

I am glad to have such a bunch of great friends from the Borneo islands. Although we do not really know each other well, I do appreciate these friendships a lot. Well, they are special and they are awesome. Cheers guys~~















Thank you guys~~

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

Cheerios~
