Making a change...
It's too attractive!

read this and let's make the change together!
http://www.tumblr.com/why-tumblr

Well... After strings of days with ultimate indulgences of entertainment with friends and family, today i have decided to confined myself like the ancient style of kungfu meditation! 闭馆练武 haha

This holiday has made me realize that this world has too many things to explore and too much anonymity in life ones has to discern. I have found the old me with a new passion, casual photography~! ^^

Photography is so enjoyable when you are en-capsuling those joyful moments and beautiful scenery through the creation of the majestic sensors you have in the camera haha... i want 60D T_T

Have bought a new lens (50mm f/1.8), tripod and shuttle release though~ HEHE
I will say, "buy lens only after you have found the limitations you have in your existing lenses!!"
*Some crappy guy(s) bought lenses with hectic price tag even before they can compose a nice picture from their kit lens!*
I hate people who likes to show off and pretending themselves to be a saint in fact they're no better than a street walker.. everyone is hitching a ride on the same learning train, i don't see a need to be boastful and a room of ultimate egoism.... PUI.....

I feel so pleased to have a mother who has always been supportive to me... (today is about financial backbone.. hahaha... she favors me in taking photography as hobby rather than other sinful activities like clubbing or drinking)

Well... as usual... Penang is definitely a big NO to study at the ages being a university students..
haha.... Penang has lost its position as the fortress of education in my life.. instead it is slowly transforming itself into the island of entertainment! hahaha

While "reviewing" and "studying" what i should do in this holiday.. *sighing cause did zero progress in academic related assignments*
I found videos that we recorded during tech com presentation rehearsal we had.. haha...
REHEARSAL! That's y there's no projector screen and an appropriate stand of audiences..

One of the least prepared presentation i have had.. haha.. i remember i was the only one who came back from Penang at the morning of the presentation day.. Words just couldn't come into my mind after a long ride traveling from Penang to Malacca... You can judge by yourself my level of preparedness based on some description i put upon in paragraphs below :p.. but after some polishing efforts, ended up one of the best presentation in uni life ^^

Title: Perfect Spot for Graduation Trip (the video below does not indicate the genuine intention of ours, in fact it is in favor of the masses in concern.. >.<)

(there're some very funny parts in the videos especially Ivan and Desmond)

Ivan and Seng


Curtis



Desmond (the funniest) and Me






Since last year, we have been in talks about heritage walk (embedded photography trip..haha)...
Now, it has become life that tomorrow is the first day i'm going for a walk down town at Georgetown to capture the inheritance of the vibrant life in the antique man-made buildings~
This is surely a valuable experience as i will be going with a bunch of "veteran" photographers haha... can't wait for the light-trail photography trip with them too~ Life is so much pleasing and relax here~ ^^

Before anything... noticed i've put up song into my blog?
nice right? the music is written entirely by BoSYs very own Musicman~ JOSEPH WONG!
enjoy the song, "左右"

Something inspired me to write a post about baby
Guess what?



NO! HAHA

It's this...

-___-



^-^


ToT


I took those shots when i was having family dinner at feringghi beach hotel..
Was stalking that baby by my camera for sometime.. haha....
see the bonding between mother and baby... see the shape of their mouth in three of the consecutive shots :-P.. it's so natural



and an influence by a friend who convinced me to write about baby =.=||


well... actually i do like babies~ just that i do not dare to put my hands on ppl's baby because they seem to be fragile, yet... so adorable~


I do feel that giving birth is part of the process in life, it's not a selfish act just to compromise for the desire to own something "cute" =.=||
It is the responsibility towards a new life that enters the universe, it is unassailable that his/her well being is defining the family that we are building..
Should i say he/she is also the product of love between partner? Hehe... i do think so~ marriage will be difficult without something acting as a bond..


If i have a baby, i will surely nourish him/her with undivided love just like what an ordinary parents will do...
A well mapped future to become a well being person that is capable to contribute to the society is again undeniable~
I will make him/her to enjoy the sky of penang! I missed out most of the time in my life to witness the beauty of the sky here. The texture especially during sunset / sunrise is majestic....
Only after i learnt bout photography that i started to look up into the sky.. to find how wonderful the sky of penang is in its own way~~ ^^
wa.. i couldn't believe i would have written all of these... =.=||
Baby is cute~!


Ever since my sis wedding, mum and dad kinde misses life living with her and has a few times stressed on me to find her replacement in the family, to fill the hole she left behind. So desperate to get another "daughter" huh... haha... I know that "she" will surely be spoilt by my mum based on my trustworthy :-p... she's definitely believing in my taste HAHA..

Baby...
Just now when we were heading out for a dinner, mum saw lanterns signifying the coming of mid-autumn festival...
She then said "how i wish to have a grand-son/grand-daughter now to bring them to buy lantern.. you all so old d... not cute anymore, don't want lantern d... hng"
haha... she's kinde cute in the way she addressed this...
still long time to go mum!!!! -_-

well... fate is all that matters. Sometimes, things are hard to come together if they do not belong together, i can only say... just walk by the path written by fate~ ^^

Another busy holiday is in the way!!!!
everyday have gathering and outing.... so glad to have them, but no time to do things i should do... =.= ASSIGNMENT!!!

Looks like the hope to witness the beauty of corals as what we've done during our form six trip is fading as every second elapsed....

Watch the above video to explain all....
Al-Jazeera uploaded the video to their website yesterday

Still remember how we wish to go Sipadan to dive and to put the vibrant color of corals and marine lives in sight?

I MISSS SNORKELING AT REDANG~~~

Girls side, Shangri-La, Penang



U Wang studio has just sent us the picture of sis wedding~

Some of the beautiful pictures~

The mood to blog suddenly kicking its way into my vein~

Here's some background study about the title i adapted in this post:
Black Sunday

What happen was purely... catastrophic haha
argh.......

The story starts from Promenade Night '10

The promenade night this year was majestic~

I felt proud for the batch of juniors that we interviewed and handpicked haha.. (>.< missing out the "plucking" session though.. forgotten what was the reason :P)
These are the people who can make extraordinary out from ordinary~

(argh.... suddenly too much things striking its way into my mind~~ bt i wouldn't allow myself to write that long~ >.<)

After that, went to the beach~ (just like last year)

well... thought can take some beautiful photographs.. but, the lighting condition wasn't conducive enough to take picture.
Ended up with some disappointing products sigh....
but it's the moment to spend with friends and to hearing their joyful laughter that lifted the soul. :-p
I might not be particularly good in joking, but nevertheless, friends' smile is the one of the greatest gifts to me. :p

THEN!!! Contacts with beach's sands is something inevitable.
I guess~ my hand was contaminated before i ate the McNuggets which then causing me to vomit 9 (+1) times + diarrhea 8 times!!!



Special thanks to future doctors, Dr. Loh and Dr. Wong in providing me with medical consultation assistance 24 x 7. LOL...
especially Dr. Wong for putting extra attention to my case which he found out to be gastroenteritis in his text....

The curtain is about to fall, signifying the end of the first half of my new semester, time flies~~ Mid-term tests are about to call an end, it's time to call upon assignments =.=
(Highlight of Mr Ivan Chiow: excessive study for midterm test causing him to have sleeping disorder... intended to take sleeping pill!!! OMG!!!! He's mad!!!!)

One of the funniest conversation that happen in my room,
Me: OMG... can't finish!! how ar.. want to 跳楼 d... =.=
Ivan: Better don't, ppl will say you're crazy, what kinde pressure can you have in utem, you'll be the first suicider here! LOL

Holiday is on its way, it's another nice holiday~ hope everything's gonna be ok (no more freaking accident)~~

上个星期回槟城的那趟
真的是太值得了，我并不后悔 Haha
可以预见多年未逢的Yang和Wenwei
听听他们在欧洲的经验
大家坐在一起聊天
仿佛回到Form Six 时期
（Yang：不要每次回来都住院， haha）
去了姓周桥，
一位朋友在那里的家可是“初恋红豆冰”的拍摄地点
在那里逗留了一阵子
还蛮凉的， Haha
还在古老的Georgetown走走，Photography Session tim..
可惜我没把相机带回来。。haih





给一位朋友的话：
知道你遇到的问题
比我们任何一个遇过的都来得困难
这段期间，那团阴影把你渐渐的推向了改变
我有看到一些好的改变
但也观察到了怀的一面
也许是你对未来的模糊
促使你的人生观有急促的改变
但是还是呼吁你，做回自己吧！
做回我认识的你~
很高兴在众多朋友当中，你会找我聊天
当你说“thanks for listening"
我觉得很满足，可以得到你把我看成是好朋友的印证
希望你可以快点找到以前的自己，别再让我们担心了
=）

这两个星期有好多考试。。。
自己第一次有时间准备，可是却不明白的科目 （其实时间也不够啦。。都是因为会槟城）sigh
Electromagnetism！！！ I am coming to devour you!!!
祝有考试的朋友们，GOOD LUCK!!
NTU 就快开课了，haha
NTU 的朋友们，尽情享受在槟城余下的日子吧！不要Emo 了

我个人对朋友的定义是
当我们谈得来
伤心时，可以互相支撑， 分担那份包袱
开心时，可以一起分享那份喜悦
John。C Maxwell 的书曾经提过
"True friends are the ones whom will celebrate with you when there's a success,
It's often to have friends consoling you in despair, but it is hard to find a friend who celebrate your successes truthfully"
hmm... 可以互相体谅对方, 接受对方的缺点
要得到一个朋友不难
要得到一个真心相对的好朋友有点难
但是，要保持一段长久的友情很难
（很庆幸，回想起来，自己的一生中，人脉还不错。。。真心相对的朋友相当多， 也保持了很久）
一段友情对我来说就是这样简单

and this quote!
i love the most and felt the truth behind it the most!


最近
一些莫名其妙的事故
一点点的细节，竟然迎来了一场洪涛汹涌的友情大考验
叫我束手无策
难道我们所经历的一切，就不能包容那一点点的小细节吗？
那将来遇到更大的困难，不就世界末日了？

我就觉得这这是一场拔河。。
当我拉得太过分，就让你的手磨伤，误会
当我放松时，就输了这场比赛，失去了朋友
手掌也是肉，手背也是肉啊... zzz

为什么我们的友情就不能比较简单和坦率的吗？
真搞不懂清你的想法

(I love BoSYs in ways we dealt with problems... It's the establishment of maturity and echo-ing thoughts that played the essential part in maintaining our relationship, nothing has really rip us apart... we're truly BFF !! :-P)

刚刚回到槟城。。。感觉好自在，很幸福

最近，开始沉迷于摄影
Post Processing 是一个相当耗时的事
Photoshop LightRoom 的魅力太迷人了~~
可以替每一张照片补上它缺乏的活力~
就如朋友说的：“Post processing is a must to compensate flaws in the composition of your pictures.. you will amazed by potential you can discover from every shot you made~" ^^ Thumbs up!
摄影并不是为了什么，而只是为了让自己沉醉于手指放在相机上，等待时刻的那瞬间

在马六甲
试过一个人拿着相机和Tripod逛夜街
试过拿着相机爬山，为了拍下美丽的日落（可惜，这里的日落。。。mediocre)
也试过一个人在BotanicalGarden“寻乐”（拍照）
觉得很自由，很没有约束
是让自己一个人独处的好借口 :-p
还很健康tim

前天Roommate向我说“你知道为什么整间家只有我们两个从来没有EMO的现象吗？”
“因为我们每天都有玩弄对方" =.=

其实想起来，
每当回到自己房间时，
都觉得很放松， 因为我们彼此没有什么秘密
都是坦诚相对的，没有什么心机
自然而然，每天都没什么EMO的机会　:p

晚上他还是我的PersonalＤＪ
每天都"This is the last song of the day~"
haha

睡觉前，我们都会关上灯然后用手机炸歌

（自己比较差，因为。。。太容易睡着了，ｈａｈａ昨晚关上灯，十秒钟就睡了，没有回应他）

As reports, assignments, tests and quizzes started to surge their way into my life here, i found myself almost-fully occupied by them. Somehow, i manages to squeezed some valuable time out of the frame that i was set into to read the book "Guide to Investing" by.... Robert Kiyosaki again...

Today, I read the part of the first of the five phases that he was taught on how to get rich by his rich dad.....
The book introduces the cashflow quadrant, a conceptual tool that defines the cash generating path of ones can choose....
They are all about the mentality that ones possessed that ultimately paving his/her path into one of the quadrants..

Here're the quadrants:
E: Employee — Working for someone else.
S: Self employed— Where a person owns his own job and is his own boss.
B: Business owner — Where a person owns a business to make money.
I: Investor— Investing money in order to receive a larger payout in the future.

My "middle-class" dad has chosen the path Self-employed where profession and security plays an identical portion of play.
Me myself, i believe, if i did not read this book, i might just follow the path being an E, employee, which security comes first before comfortable and wealth.

There're three major options that one have to prioritize:
1) to be secure


2) to be comfortable

3) to be rich


Three of them are so different at the core inside it that defines ones' characteristics.
The author often used the 90/10 rule to define the path he has chosen.
well... there're both happy and unhappy moments when you're poor or rich...
but there's one thing that i am sure,
unhappier moments when you're poor are much more painful than those when you're rich..

I just wanted to jot down what i've read today that i felt quite interesting haha....

At last, believe in the world of abundances! the world of too much money!
A conceptual intersection with The Secret that i found after discussing bout that with Kelvin.. :-P

Just finished playing card game with my hsemates in my room~
A very enjoyable night to spare haha....

Well... the idea of blogging was clinging at my mind in recent days considering that i have left it dusty for daySS~


There might be the outbreak of conventionality to my obsolete (supposedly..i guess haha) mind..
I found out that i was wrong to put academic achievement at the perch of priority tree..
Academic achievement does not define how successful you live your life..
It's the diversity of skills, technical, mental and spiritual maturity that defines a person's life.
Hence, i hope to expose myself to a wider scale of knowledge..

I am reading a book about financial planning and investment.. The buddy chat back at Penang with ziming and kang was the trigger that makes me realized.... "It's about time to learn personal finance management! To start thinking of what to invest and how to manage them"

Somehow, there's another thing that i found in the inner side of me in recent weeks...
I found myself a better "pupil" in reading... it seems like i can reached an understanding and being able to comprehend in mind what i have studied or read..
Moreover.. i found out that the intensive drama session i have had in the previous break have put me on a huge leap to improve and polish my english~ hehe

Other than this, i am understudying some composing skills in the field of photo-taking and particularly getting my hands on post processing (Lightroom is fabulous!!) of photos taken~~

I always consider myself lucky to have abundance of true friends surrounding me all the time...

We strive and shed sorrows together at times of adversity
We celebrate to share the joy at times of victory

My housemates, particularly my roommate is very supportive and a great friend to have..
I have never felt any bit of dull living under the same roof with them...
The addition of three female coursemates have just made it a completed set of puzzle, a happy house to live in~ the proudest thing to have in Malacca is probably my housemates haha..

I can't believe that i am able to put this far although i was seriously lacking the tune to blog before i started this!

Here're some pictures that i found interesting recently:

Finally the moment has arrived, i'm undertaking my third year here in UTeM..

Well... it's a brand new start with everybody here..

There nothing joyous except the BK of our course is now fixed at one of the few "lecture hall"...
Inverted comma symbolizes metaphor to the miniature size of my so called lecture hall.. haha...

Anyway, i would consider ourselves lucky to have this room as it resembles to attending lectures at a miniature cinema hall as illustrated below :
(nice and comfortable "cinema seats", the most important thing of all.... every table has a power socket~~ one is right at my usual seating spot~ :P)


Special thanks to my housemates particularly my roommie, Ivan for their superb understanding for doing the job in cleaning the house, of course my room too)
This is my new room~~

Gauze removed!

I just went to visit the friend who lost his dad not long ago.
From the chat, putting the way he talks previously in contrary to the way he is now. I can feel that he is a grown up now. A staunch adult.
This has again proven the fact that at adversity, people changed.
Emerge is the root of emergency. The emergence of tragic has caused him to make an emergency shift from the way he is taking the path. The path that has minimal obstructions is now filled with thorns.



Feel sad for him for all the misfortunes... But i was glad to have finally seen his charming smile when we were talking some jokes to clear the air.




It's good to see him standing out and outgrown anyone of us. Proud of who he is now. Keep it up dude!!



BTW
Since i can see an airplane everyday due to the whereabouts of my house.
This song revoke my thoughts now,

CAN WE PRETEND THAT THE AIRPLANE IN THE NIGHT SKY LIKE A SHOOTING STAR~
I COULD REALLY USE A WISH RIGHT NOW~



I just don't want to go back to Melaka..... Just don't wish to revamp the magnitude of my old woe.. sigh... to face the horrible mistake i made!

My new pet~~~
Canon EOS 500D
equipped with kit lens (18-55mm f3.5-5.6 IS) 没钱买 lens T.T





和姐姐Share钱买了一部DSLR~
选择了Canon line instead of Nikon line
因为有专人的推荐和考虑到 Lens 的价钱
原来DSLR真的是名不虚传。。照片拍了真漂亮！！

买之前就在网上读了一整天的摄影Guide
要知道什么是 ISO, Shutter Speed, Aperture Size & Focal Length
原来它们是那么有趣的～　读起来比大学的课本有趣
摄影是那么的讲究！！

下一个目标就是。。。。
Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Lens!!




第一个Photo Session
就是帮朋友帮他在他爸爸的丧事拍照
出殡时就当上了Cameraman
hmmm
有一个时候，突然很想哭
但是不可以哭
眼眶就有点红红的

好啦
就有在家里用这部机寻寻乐
这些都是拍到的照片








Picture quality differ after resized and limitation of upload

Have received a heartbroken news this morning, i feel really sorry to hear about the demise of a friend's dad.

I can feel what he is feeling now by all the sms he texted me...
Undescribeable sadness... tears are dropping in my heart....
I know he must have to endure 1000000000 x sadness than i am now..
Please! STAY STRONG!

Dear Friend:

I know it must be hard for you to take this.
As the only son of the family, your family sorely needed at this very moment.
Do not worry to walk this path alone as we will always walk beside you.
Grieve is halved when it's shared~
The entire race of BoSYsian is ready to share the grieve and sorrows due to this event.
Just walk the path bravely, we will pat your shoulder when you're feeling lonely, we will be the vase for you to dump your words of hard feeling, we will pave the way if you're out of hand to clear the bush that is blocking your way...

BoSYs will be there!! Just remember, we're BFF!! That's what BFF do the best!!!!!


This incident make us think how precious it is to have our parents to be here..
After i told my dad about this incident, he said the following quote:
"I felt so sympathy to your friend and his dad... It's every parent's wish to see their son grown up and established himself as a valuable asset to the society... It must be hard for him for not seeing his son graduated and live a life of his own..... For me, i will die with no regret only if i see you all succeeded and have your own life.."



This line is so touching that i don't know how to express my love towards him... Suddenly, the love towards my parents rushing into my veins. To everyone who's reading this post and to myself:
PLEASE EMBRACE EVERY MOMENT YOU HAVE WITH YOUR FAMILY, THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU TRY TO CAUSE A HEARTACHE TOWARDS YOUR PARENT! THEY'RE YOUR EVERYTHING!


P/S: after a chatting session with ziming and eujin... just realized that most of the BoSYsians are eldest or the only son of their family... we live with responsibility in tag. Well... in the context of responsibility... i leave breeding to my bro ~ ^^

At last... deepest condolence to you my friend... i hope your dad will hear our prayers

Pictures taken by my camera:
(No pictures from cameraman yet)





Today is the exact day of my sister's wedding...

We have some very funny stuffs going on at our house.. the best man and bride maid games~
It was action packed there with lot of "stuns" which involves breaking an ice cube that has a key inside o.O.. haha.. very funny though

We were then went to a wedding ceremony at the pristine St.Anne Church at Bukit Mertajam..

Here's some introductory about St Anne Church at Bukit Mertajam..
It's one of the most beautiful church in Malaysia which held one of the biggest Christianity's pilgrimage of the world annually~

When i first step into the hall..
It gave me the scenery you can only have in fairy tale!!
All the singing and the beautiful architecture which gives you a feel of stepping into an old
European building, a very decorated one indeed~




My sister entered the hall in a fairy tale liked red carpet.. accompanying by my lovely parents :D

I'm sure and glad that these wonderful pictures will surely be the most memorable flashes in her mind for lifetime...



Then at night, we went to Dinner Round 2 (Round 1 was a few posts previous than the current one)

Again.. it's very beautiful and warm (emotionally warm, not physically warm.. haha)
It's by far the most wonderful wedding dinner i've been to.. and the most touching one perhaps!!
I felt so deeply touched that i tried not to look to anyone in sight so that they wouldn't notice my red eyes (i'm so..... lame!!) haha

Well.. The day was so memorable as it was my sister's birthday and her wed!
Alot of surprises for her that it made her to drop her i would say easy-get-going tears on the spot... =.=

The siblings of both side (yes.. including myself) set on the stage to make a dance! haha...
(Nobody nobody but you!) i have to admit... our steps were awful!! But we have had alot of fun up there doing something special haha

There was even a slow dance session for her and John~

Too bad i was having a broken toe... else i will be joining the rock and roll dancing session right after the dining session! haha

SUMMARY: AT THE END OF THE DAY.. we went home short of one family member.. but adding a new brother who doesn't live with us under the same roof though.. hehe.. i suppose it's a gain from a loss. ^^
I've not felt so pressured before!!! The wedding was so wonderful and decorated! I have a big shoe to fill in~~ I'm gonna do whatever i can to make my future-bride (no target yet) as blissful and happy as my sister!!







I accidentally overlooked the facebook profile to the friend of John who made their wonderful wedding cake.

The following is the picture and the description adoption from his caption in Facebook.


"A wedding cake i made for the wedding of my good friend John to his bride Poh Lin. A simple cake all in white (that's Poh Lin's favourite colour) with figurines of the bride and groom on top. I modeled the sugar figurines after what the couple would be wearing at the wedding banquet so it'd be like miniature versions of them on the cake. The bow is also made out of sugar and painted with edible pearl luster to create that satiny look. The brooch in the middle is made from a combination of non-edible crystals and edible silver dragees. A stylized orchid design is piped on all three tiers to create a lace effect."
by E.t. Yew

The entire thing is edible~ excluding the crystal
