"I already accept you as a whole"

2010-12-08T07:43:00.000-08:00

As Sean waiting for his holiday, he can't wait to spend his time with Sarah. In Sean mind, the first thing he wants to do is to give Sarah a warm hug, to make her smile and happy. For Sean, nothing is better than seeing Sarah, although Sarah teases him and make joke of him every time she sees Sean. Instead, Sean feels glad that he could make Sarah laugh all the time.

For the days they met, Sean wished the time could stop and the wonderful moment could stay forever with him and wished that Sarah could stay beside him forever. Sarah shared a lot of things with Sean, from hilarious dream experience to Sarah's background, and how tough she's gone through. Sean felt touched as she willing to share her life experience with him because, she doesn't simply share her story with others, and he felt happy as he had chance to understand more about Sarah's life.

Not only story telling between Sean and Sarah, during the holiday, Sean went to Sarah house to teach her how to cook grain meal that will make her even prettier and healthier. Although the method and experience is taught by Sean's mother, the meal is successfully cooked by themselves and it tastes goooooood too. For the first time Sean cooks for Sarah, he's having a thought to cook for Sarah the second time.

Precious moment always does't stay long, as Sean thought, he wished the moment can be extended, to stay beside Sarah all the time he has. Sarah, on the other hand, has questioned Sean about his feeling towards her. There's a time when Sarah asked Question A, Sean answered Question B, to simplify the situation, it's called "wrong channel", to further simplify, it's called "Sean's Stupidity", which make Sarah pissed off and eventually causes upset moment to be raised up. For Sean's Stupidity, he knows that he should not make Sarah feels upset in the 1st place, but yet, he's too stupid to make her thought wandering around for few days.

No one knows, the truth that Sean told Sarah is trust-able. The statement made by Sean, although it's true, it's not strong enough to make her believes. Maybe Sarah thinks too much, or maybe it's Sean fault to mislead the situation.

Sean knows, it's not easy to convince others to hold your hand and starts new journey, it needs time. For this reason, he came up with an idea to blog this whole things up so that he can express the word that deep inside him, as Sarah said he's not good in talking sweet. Sean could understand her dilemma of making choice, and tolerate to keep away from her when her phone is about in the air...because Sean has accept Sarah as a whole in his life. Sean doesn't want to see her upset just because of that, and so he keep it silently. How Sarah knows the taste of being kicked out? I guess only Sean know about it. What Sean was thinking that time, nobody knows.

Sean would like to say to Sarah: "I already accept you as a whole"

When the timing isn't right

2010-11-07T07:54:00.000-08:00

"I wish i could reached 5 minutes later". A guy named Stanley said to himself after he saw something that he would not happy to see. Stanley was just finished his work and wished to meet his girlfriend for a warm laughter and smile, which could make his day worthy after a tiring day of moving from one place to another.

As he traveling, he was thinking "it's gonna be a good if i could see her for just a moment, just a moment may satisfy my heart." As his heart filled with excitement, he's having another thought "Yea, hopefully she's not asleep yet, even she does, she looks cute with his blur-blur face, she's adorable".

30 minutes later, he reached Samantha's place, not exactly in front of her door, he stopped at another corner, so he won't alert Samantha even she's asleep. Stanley took out his handphone and called Samantha. One after another call, nobody answers it. The moment he felt weird, he looked to the 2nd floor where Samantha's room is located, it's well-lit and there are no signs of sleeping.

"Klack, klack". Stanley heard one of the house gate's open and the noise of putting on the slipper, but Stanley wasn't sure which house the sounds from until he saw Samantha came out from the house. However, for Stanley surprises, Samantha came out with another guy. Stanley know the guy was Samantha ex, from what he could remember his face from social networking page. Stanley's mood turned 180 degree up-side down, and his mind was triggering out the pre-assume answer why Samantha did not answer the call.

As the guy came across Stanley, he stared at Stanley as he does remember who is Stanley too, but what Stanley did was just pretending to keep calling his girlfriend and acting busy. He did not know why he's avoiding the eye contact with the guy, but it sure pointless to look at him too. A minute later, Stanley phone rang, he answered the phone and now he has 2 options:

1. to say that he's waiting for her downstair and hope to see her, after Samantha met her ex.

2. to say he's just back from working, reached home safely and ask her not to worry.

Curry Chicken and BBQ chicken

2010-10-01T06:53:00.000-07:00

About 3 - 4 years ago, i met a girl called Candy when i was working as a salesman in my ex-company. She's around 165cm, a bit chubby, nice-to-talk person, and the most attractive part, was her cooking skill. No doubt, she's a very very good in cooking. What makes me remember her until today was her curry chicken she cooked during a joint promotion with Panasonic home appliances, where she demonstrated on how to use a high-tech microwave (worth around RM2300). On top of that, she made some cup cakes for the event. At first thought, she could ask her mom to prepare for her since she said the food was prepared earlier before the event promotion started. However, after the 2nd day and 3rd day, i started to believe that the foods are actually made by herself. Having the nature of a boy/guy, i asked for her number by using an excuse to find her next time she's having an event. Not just that, i asked for friendster as well, as facebook is not that famous that time.

Well, after getting her number, i'm not even make a call to her, but just browse through her friendster and...that's all. XD. However, i really wish to see her again, in the perception of friend and her food. All these years, every time saw her online (which is extremely seldom), i surely will ask the same question "where and when is your next event?", but i never had a chance to find her though, just remember how good her curry chicken was back then.

Until today, i met her coincidence in the CIMB fair hold at Mid Valley Convention Center. Surprisingly, she doesn't look chubby anymore, she's more to standard level of a 20+ looking girl, simply means, good looking. She told me she wasn't suppose to work here, instead she just replacing her friend who did not manage to come, and today was the only day she appears in the fair..and i was like "wow, how lucky i am!". As what Chinese phrase mention "got faith sure will meet someday". Well, without any glance of thought, i asked "what's cooking today?", as my eyes focusing on the butter cake placing on a plate she was preparing.

"huh, just cake only? i miss your curry chicken..."
"erm, no ar, later i'll make BBQ chicken."

*wink wink*. . . .she said BBQ chicken?? XD. Looks like i really really lucky today. For the sake of BBQ chicken, i waited for 30 minutes, wandering in and out the booth, chat with old colleague i found there, watch demo movie, chat with her..and finally, i have my gluttony started. Even with just few slices, manage to satisfy me. No doubt again, she's good in preparing food. We had good chat even though it was our 2nd time we met, and accompany her to take her car key, went back to her counter, and finish the whole plate of chicken slices before i left.

On the way back home, i was thinking:

"As people met, it's fate god created to us. Isn't it good if we appreciate the friends around us? Isn't it good if we appreciate friendship we bonded in past? Isn't it good if we appreciate the love that we found, and the people that love us? No matter who we are, we shall appreciate the one who appears in your life, it's fate. As fate gone, there's no use to regret that time."

Arthur's Day 2010

2010-09-28T08:07:00.000-07:00

Beer !! The only word to describe Arthur's Day. In the memorial of Arthur Guiness (1725 – 23 January 1803) , a brewer who found the Guiness brewery business, Arthur's Day is the day where beer session and music event with international singer performance is organized. However, some of us do not familiar with this event.

"Arthur's Day refers to a series of music events which were first organized in 2009 to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Guinness brewing company by its owner Diageo plc, using Freud Communications as public relations co-ordinators." [Wiki]

On that particular day, i was invited by the event organizer as VIP for the event, to be precisely, to my company. We have 10 VIP tickets on hand where the tickets will be distributed to whom interested on it, i definitely will get one of the tickets as i'm the one who consigned the LCD for them to support the event. But in condition, i'm the one who responsible to collect the LCD back in the end of the event.

Everyone seems excited, leaving the office as soon as the Hari Raya Dinner organized by my company. The event started at 8pm. As everyone left the company, i have to stay until 8.30pm because there are jobs to be done. Well, having no choice, i have to go alone and only meet up with them upon arriving. Once i reached, i gave a call to my colleague; he didn't answer, i sms-ed him; no reply too. Ride on to the worst, it was raining on that night, leaving me with a group of strangers under a hut while having a cup of lonely smooth malt drink.

Finally, the rain stopped, i'm able to snap some photos on the event, and some happening moment on that day.

Picture taken inside of the Sunway Lagoon.

The platform i found once i reached to the destination.

Event is already start

No idea what band is this.

Sei Fei Zai Sean Kingston threw his sweaty towel to the audience, I wouldn't grab even he gave me one.

Some Hot Chicks i manage to captured with SONY compact WX1:

In the middle of the event, some light air balloon was released to the audience as add-on to the event. However. . .

Audiences were so busy with the balls and neglected the stage performance. Attention was distracted by the balls.

Around 11pm, A big guy approach the stage with his gang and sang his famous song.

Eh, who was that?

Yep, that's Flo Rida~

"Low low low low.." the only song i know.

The event was ended with some blasting of fire cracker, which it doesn't impressed me as i saw too many of fire cracker during Chinese festival, and more close-up than this 10 times.

I thought i could leave the event on time, but unfortunately, i stayed until 2.30am just to collect to LCD i consigned to the event organizer, reach home at 3.30am, slept at 4am. It's not cool to having fun alone in the crowd, but it surely a nice experience to had lonely beer alone with such astonishing performance. Total beer taken: 4 cups of 120ml.

A disqualified contest

2010-07-31T08:24:00.000-07:00

Last few weeks, i took part in a online Photoshop contest which required the participant to modify a given image. Although the contest will be organized every Thursday (where a new theme/question will be given), this is the 1st time i participate in this contest.

On that particular week, a theme named "Hallway' was given and we have to modify the image based on our own imagination. Just a glance of moment I'd got the inspiration, i decided to give it a try.

The following shows the original picture given by the question and the modified version by myself.

The original image provided

20% of the work, where the twirling process is done.

70% of the work, color blending and twirling mist is created

However, i was disqualified from the contest due to Copyright issue. The contest does not allow picture that was originated from "Googling" or the one that has been copyrighted. Those images from flickr.com and some other websites are the one i supposedly to take from. The images i used "illegally" are the one from Ju-on and The ring. Well, all was my own fault as i did not read the rules and terms before participate. HAHA.

The "The Ring" image i googled

The "Ju-On" image i googled.

Since my picture has been disqualified, the picture is belong to me already. XD

Souvenir: chocolate

2010-07-14T11:17:00.000-07:00

13 July 2010

It's happy when someone is really remember us, especially when they are on vacation. It doesn't matter what kind of souvenir or how expensive they brought to us, most importantly is they really keep you in their heart, as a friend, or even close one. That's what a true friend is.

I received a bar of chocolate from Ms. Sue, a young and talkative little girl :) when she came back from Langkawi last week. This Cadbury probably can't be found in most of the hypermarket, as it contains liquor inside it, which makes it as a non-halal food. ( Maybe there are, but i haven't saw any of it.)

Well, it feels so good to received a souvenir from someone, which proving they are really keeping you in your mind and the real meaning of friendship.

Hereby, i would like to say thank you for your chocolate and, it's really good to have a friend like you, and as a "brudder"...tee hee~~

DARLIE or DARKIE ??

2010-06-29T08:09:00.000-07:00

While I was browsing the Darlie's picture as a reference for my image editing yesterday, i accidentally found out a little secret and history about the Darlie's toothpaste that we commonly used.

Darkie logo

The Darlie's toothpaste that we used daily, was once known as DARKIE !!!! And the logo used, was really freaking. Freaking enough to cause you to have a nightmare if you use it before sleep.

That was the creepiest toothpaste I have ever seen >.< !

And guess what, it was once known Peppermint instead of Toothpaste. In Cantonese or Mandarin, Darlie's toothpaste is called 黑人牙膏 which direct translation means " Black's man toothpaste". As we all can see on today's Darlie, the picture on the the packaging is not a Black Man, it's a White Man instead...not black at all.

From the older Darkie to today's Darlie

However, back to those day, Darlie's (formerly known as Darkie) picture on the packaging was really a Black Man !!! And the packaging wasn't attractive at all ~~~ HAHAHAHA =)

The differences between old and new packaging of Darkie/Darlie

Fortunately the outlook of the packaging and picture has changed, otherwise, i personally will not buy Darlie toothpaste anymore. XD

Night of A Witch

2010-06-24T06:59:00.000-07:00

It's a typical Tuesday afternoon..i was going back to my home after having few hours of crapping at mamak stall with my friends. I am staying in an apartment of 15 stories, with the mightiest name of TAMAN FADASON, KEPONG...The moment i reached the lift, i pressed the UP button, and waited for few seconds before the lift opened. I stepped into the lift with few other people who lives at different floor and unexpectedly, there's a man at the age of 40 who stays at the same floor with me came in. We put ourselves silent while waiting inside the lift, and one by one leaving the dirty yet smelly lift every time the lift opens. When the lift reached 9th floor, the guy who stays the same floor with me walk before me and that moment, i did not felt anything unusual until i came across a weak old lady, which i do not recognize even though i lived there for a period of time. She's wearing a robe with hood, covering most of her body but her face was exposed which made me felt shocked as i take a look on her face; wrinkles, pointy nose, crescent chin and few warts on her face. I was trembling and at the same time, i felt a bit disgusting as i stared at a "witch".

"The Exact Illustration of The Weak Old Lady"

Without thinking too much, i sped up my motion towards my house, and as i put my foot step on the ground, another friend of mine grab my hand "eh, where u gone, i was waiting for you la, ish ish, have you forgotten that you ask me for a drink today?" .. Eh, did i promised him? HAHA, whatever. My heartbeat slows down as i met him and we backed to the lift ....we walked to the lift again, and decided to use staircase because the speed of the lift was too slow, i agreed as i already used to it, it's not a problem for me though, i just consider it as another exercise session.

So, as we descend the staircase, reaching the 7th floor, we heard a loud scream from above and we were so shocked as we saw a man falling down from the corridor area, we witness the falling process but we could not done anything bout it. When we looked at the man who fell down to the ground floor, i was stunned again because that particular man was the one who stays the same floor with me, took the same lift with me just now. But how could this happened? i was so blurred at that moment, couldn't think anything. My "lim teh" mood totally went off and without doubt, i rushed back to the 9th to see what happened.

The "witch" was still on the corridor, but in my mind, she's not the one who pushed the man, because from the outlook, she looked so skinny and weak, it's kind of impossible she could lifted up a 40 year old man and pushes him down. With hundred question mark in my mind, i walked into the man's house to seek any information. Once i stepped in, i saw another old woman lying on the bed, with the aid of an oxygen tank. As i approached her, she seems to know what i wanted to ask and started to pointing her finger outside the house, and what i saw from her view was the "witch" who is standing there for several days according to her. She then continues softly "She's the one who pushes my grandson down from the corridor. . . ." "My grandson was answering a call at the corridor facing outside and she suddenly pushed him down for no reason. . . . "

Once i listened to her words, i stood up and moved curiously toward the "witch", and i wanted to ask why she did so. Before my arrival, a woman with her 'members' was already there arguing with the "witch"and they seem to know something about the incident happened. Just upon my arrival, I able to catch the last word spoken by the witch, she said "that bloody killed daughter, and now i came for the debt !! i waited here for few days and he finally appeared, he has to pay for what he has done!!"

After few minutes of fighting, the "witch" suddenly stood up and try to push the woman out from the corridor, to the ground floor. I was like "WATTTTT THE ~~~~" Without any hesitation, i pulled the "witch's" arm and with the help from the woman's friend, they pushed the "witch" backward to the lift's door. As for me, i fell alongside with the "witch" when they pushed the "witch" and collided me...The situation was getting nervous and uncontrollable as the "witch" screams loudly and tried to stand up, and run towards the bar to kill herself by jumping off from the corridor. In that particular moment, i really don't realize that this old lady was so strong and able to run like me !!

Without thinking anything, i used all my strength to kick her leg while i was still lying on the floor, hoping that i could knocked her down and prevent her from killing herself. I USED ALL MY STRENGTH TO ACTIVATE THE FOSHAN SHALOWLESS KICK !!! and. . . .

OUCH !!!!!! I kicked the wall accurately with my toes...not once, but twice!! with all the strength !! It's effin pain and i was spring-ed up from my bed. "That was an awkward nightmare...and ouch~~" i said.

It took me another half an hour to put myself to sleep again. This nightmare was happened back to 1 week ago, but it still fresh in my mind until now..

Dream Dictionary..

2010-06-19T09:53:00.000-07:00

Well, everyone dreams. However, a normal people just like you and me are unable to define the exact meaning behind the dream. Last night, i was chatting with Ms.Sue about the dreams we had and the dreams that leaves an unforgettable story in our mind. We shared quite number of dreams we had since we were kid and of course, the nightmare that we keep dreaming about.

It's like a message in disguise when certain dreams keep coming to you, but the problem we're facing is that, we found that it's hard (or nearly impossible) to decipher the meaning of the dreams we had. Furthermore, most of the dreams are erased once we awake, you may remember the pieces, but you might not remember the whole story..

There's once, a dream i remember until now, which i had it about 1 month ago (probably after i graduated), and the dream i had was about a tortoise !!! haha XD. It wasn't an ordinary tortoise. One of the pieces of dream i remember is there's a guy explaining to me the detail of the tortoise he's holding. He said "This is Sam Sing Tortoise (preferably means 3 star tortoise), you can see there are different sizes of 3 stars on its back".

Seriously, i don't know what is the message behind all these things until yesterday, Ms Sue deciphered the dream i had with a little help from Uncle Google..tee hee~~

Well, i wouldn't believe 100%, but i found it quite accurate and could be used as guideline in the future. Here is what the dictionary of dream said:

VERSION I:

Tortoises in your dream stand for slow progression and fear of getting involved in risky business. Even if there are plenty of chances and possibilities ahead of you, you are rather skeptic and susceptible and you prefer being steady and not taking the next step towards a higher position or a more important business because you are afraid of failure. However, you should assume the risks and try being more open to new situations, as this will bring you fortune and prosperity.

Also, we should not forget that the tortoise is shielded from predators by a shell, therefore it may symbolize your need to be protected from the outside world by a close friend or family member. If you dream of a tortoise, then you are vulnerable and not strong enough to face alone the jungle of reality and this is why you need a support.

The tortoise may also stand for hidden enemies who are waiting for the right moment to attack you and stab you in the back. The slow-moving animal may also represent the dark, hidden side of your personality, your instincts and primitive desires which should not break the surface of the intellect unless you want to enter a conflict with society and its written or unwritten rules of behavior and morality.

VERSION II:

To see a tortoise in your dream, suggests that you need to take some chances in order to get ahead in life. The opportunities for advancement are opened to you, but you need to take the next step. The tortoise also symbolizes perseverance, determination, and longevity. Alternatively, the tortoise may represent the need to be sheltered or protected from life's problems

My personal signature

2010-05-24T00:03:00.000-07:00

After several trials and errors, i finally came out with this personal signature, and you guys may wondering what the signature means.

So, here are the some explanations for the signature created:

1. The "SUE" is my name, and the "z" represents the last name in mandarin. Well, it seems weird when i used "z" instead of "c" ( 承 - which pronounce as cheng), but it's even weird if i used "SUEc" instead of "SUEz".

2. The word "アート", which pronounce as "ato" is basically means art in japanese. It's rather unique and works well in the signature.

3. Unlike common signature, my signature did not include the word "photography" and "studio". The reason? Most of my masterpiece is based on editing and I'm not really into photography because i do not own a DSLR. My compact just doesn't make me orgasm.

4. The little star in the signature does not hold any meaning, but if i insist to place a meaning on it, i could say "my name is Seng, well, the star can represents my name as well."

5. Most of the signature looks simple and plain in color (normally white color), but after several attempts on putting my signature into plain color, it's dead. Alright, i knew it. Therefore, i decide to maintain the color in the signature.

6. This signature works well in both photo-taking and photo-editing session.

7. Taking this opportunity, i would like to express my gratitude to Kenddy Wong, for helping me to design the layout of this signature. From the signature, there's a "representation" for him, which is denoted by the alphabet "C" in the 'creative'. The "C" represents his last name "Chee".

He is gifted in this kind of stuff. Salute him. He's getting a part of the signature !!! It's great.

This signature cant be done without his help.

Let's take a look on the samples the signature I included (in both photography and editing) :

Well, i made a suggestion to Kenddy to create another signature for himself, where both of his signature and mine could be clustered into one when we have special project for ourselves.

Before i came out with this signature, there are few prototypes have been made. However, after receiving comments from friends, i have to modify the original signature. Hereby, i would like to thank for the comments given by you all.

Another Masterpiece. . .the 3rd !!

Boring wedding dinner.

2010-01-26T08:29:00.000-08:00

Last night (26 Jan 2010), i went to a wedding dinner with my mom, which was invited by old friend of her. The invitation was supposed directed to my parents and not me, but somehow, my father will never attend any single occasion in his entire life. That's the reason i have to accompany my mom. Such a good boy =)

Wedding, suppose to be a blissful and meaningful event for those attended to the occasion, however it did not overwhelmed me, totally not. Im quite emo this few days internally, I try not to think the coming upset Chinese New Year. I don't know what i want, i was in dilemma on making a decision. A decision i was so afraid to make. A decision that i hope God could help me to decide.

The delightful moment of wedding was escorted by a sentimental song "Nothing's gonna change my love for you", this song was too typical on every wedding occasion, where i can say i'm bored of it. Somehow, i felt this song in my heart that moment. A moment that i could imagine someone was about to leave you. A moment that you wish you never say goodbye. A moment that you wish you could stop the time eternally. Seriously, I was with the music so deeply that moment.

All of the sudden, a typical instant where all the lights turn off to serve the astonishing food, the music has changed dramatically.

♫ i gotta feeling~♫♫~tonight will be a good good night~~♫

I was like what the FUCK ? what the heck feeling the DeeJay wants? Today isn't your day, it's the day of JUST MARRIED. If you want to change music, please put the right music on the right time, just don't simply play "spoil-the-mood" music. Suddenly sentimental suddenly pop. Kanasai DJ. . .Obviously, the DeeJay ruined my feeling once again, not even poped me at all !

Well, I really got the feeling, but not the Black Eye Pea's feeling but the feeling of getting bored when at got there. Hell ya, my prediction was too accurate, my mom and I were assigned to the table No.1, which is allocated in the very corner of the restaurant. I was like, What the FUCK "again" ?? The worst thing, i could never able to see any hot chicks around me, the nearest angel was sitting 5 tables away. . . .beside me was an aunty, which can be consider as gramps, next to her was an middle age aunty, carrying her 3 years old child. In front of me, a pair of middle age married, and the one who sit beside my mom was a pair of old married. Aduhai~~~sakit mata and hati. Im gonna bang the wall behind me !!! (cry)

The smartest thing i had ever done that night, was to bring my precious PSP there. "PSP, you are my Teman Sejati, you are my heart and my soul, NOTHING'S GONNA CHANGE MY VALUE FOR YOU !!!!"

有时候，当想哭可是不能流泪，比流泪的人更难过。不想了解和懂的人会比做决定的人更伤心。--- The feeling that i had when listening to that song. ---

MSN fake bot

2010-01-22T20:31:00.000-08:00

Yesterday i came across a case, where an anonymous sent me a few lines of messages through MSN messenger. Initially, i thought she was an ordinary person who are adding around people to join the community, but i was wrong. She was a bot!! , an annoying bot to invite u to join cybersex, to key in your credit card number and your MSN username and password..FUCK.

Seriously, it was the 1st time i encountered something like this, but we have to be smart, you see, the bot never answer u exactly the question you throw on it. I asked for A it answered B, basically this is what i called fucking noob bot. ( Click to enlarge )

There's a rumor saying that MSN will be closed down. The reason? It is stated below:

"This is Tara and John, the directors of MSN. We would like to sincerely apologize for the interruption, but msn is closing down. We?know many of these messages have been sent out lately, and that they wouldn't be true. However, this one is in fact true, and it will occur soon.?

MSN will begin to charge you money soon. This is due to the fact that too many inconsiderate people are taking up all the names (ie. making up lots of different accounts for just one person). Therefore, we only have 578 names left."

*** partial of e-mail received***

Personally, i don't feel MSN will be closed and will charge our money, but the 1st paragraph was true, there are too many irresponsible users on MSN. Two of my friends (Ivan and Mun Boon)'s account have been hacked, their account sent me several anonymous links to me but when i asked them, they have no idea what i have been talking about. This is shit, man !!!

Well, this is my 2nd time i color my cousin's sketch he sent to me last few days, however this time is more challenging because the character's posture and perspective are slightly strange. It definitely seems alright when it is in Original form ( without color), but when i started to coloring it, i feel weird when came to the hand, collar, neck, and shoes. Having no choice, I have to change it myself to make it looks more natural way.

Voice Of the Younger Generation In Malaysia

2010-01-05T22:26:00.000-08:00

I was reading an e-mail sent by my friend and i found that it was a good article about Sharyn Lisa Shufiyan, Tunku Abdul Rahman's great granddaughter. I found it interesting and i quite support the facts she mentioned in the article below.

Sharyn completed her Diploma in Advertising from Taylor's College, and then left motherland to pursue her BA degree majoring in Media Studies and Anthropology at Victoria University in Wellington, New Zealand. While waiting for her graduation in May 08, she interned briefly at M&C Saatchi Wellington, a global advertising firm. Upon returning to Malaysia, jobless and relieved of rent payments, Sharyn stumbled upon Wild Asia through The Star which sparked her interest to learn more about nature and environmental causes. Armed with a communications background, Sharyn works on the Wild Asia website and editorial, translating geek terms into laymen language, easily accessed and understood by visitors regardless of their backgrounds, be it scientific, business, the arts or just plain interested.

"Both my parents are Malay. My mum's heritage includes Chinese, Thai and Arab, while my dad is Minangkabau. Due to my skin colour, I am often mistaken for a Chinese.
I'm happy that I don't have the typical Malay look but I do get annoyed when people call me Ah Moi or ask me straight up "Are you Chinese or Malay"

Like, why does it matter? Before I used to answer "Malay" but now I'm trying to consciously answer Malaysian instead.

There's this incident from primary school that I remember till today. Someone told me that I will be called last during Judgement Day because I don't have a Muslim name. Of course, I was scared then but now that I'm older, I realise that a name is just a name. It doesn't define you as a good or bad person and there is definitely no such thing as a Muslim name. You can be named Rashid or Ali and still be a Christian.

I've heard of the 1 Malaysia concept, but I think we don't need to be told to be united. We've come such a long way that it should already be embedded in our hearts and minds that we are united. Unfortunately, you can still see racial discrimination and polarisation. There is still this ethno-centric view that the Malays are the dominant group and their rights must be protected, and non Malays are forever the outsiders.

For the concept to succeed, I think the government should stop with the race politics. It's tiring, really. We grew up with application forms asking us to tick our race. We should stop painting a negative image of the other races, stop thinking about 'us' and 'them' and focus on 'we', 'our' and 'Malaysians'.

No one should be made uncomfortable in their own home. A dear Chinese friend of mine said to me once, "I don't feel patriotic because I am not made to feel like Malaysiais my home, and I don't feel an affinity to China because I have never lived there.

I know some baby Nyonya friends who can trace their lineage back hundreds of years. I'm a fourth generation Malaysian. If I am Bumiputra, why can't they be, too? Clearly I have issues with the term.

I think the main reason why we still can't achieve total unity is because of this 'Malay rights' concept. I'd rather 'Malay rights' be replaced by human rights. So unless we get rid of this Bumiputra status, or reform our views and policies on rights, we will never achieve unity.

For my merdeka wish, I'd like for Malaysians to have more voice, to be respected and heard. I wish that the government would uphold the true essence of parliamentary democracy. I wish for the people to no longer fear and discriminate against each other, to see that we are one and the same.

I wish that Malaysia would truly live up to the tourism spin of Malaysia truly Asia. Malaysians to lead - whatever their ethnic background. Only ONE NATIONALITY MALAYSIAN. No Malays, No Chinese, No Indians - ONLY MALAYSIANS. Choose whatever religion one is comfortable with.

Remember it was Dr M & UMNO who destroyed Tunku's Malaysia.

25 Dec 2009 Christmas Day

2009-12-30T06:55:00.000-08:00

==============================
Afternoon
==============================

We (my classmate and I) went to Pyramid, planning to “ice-skating”, somehow, we ended up on bowling lane. I’m sure I made a right choice as I saw the skating field is filled up with people ¾ of the field. That is totally awkward.

We paid for the 2 games, chose our colorful shoes, and went to the no.42 bowling lane. 1st game, my score was like shit, just 44, which is the lowest among us. However, miracle happened on the 2nd game, I scored 163 !!! HELL YA!!

Strike 4x in a row..Shahlin will be wowed!

My final score

Lucky no.10 bowling ball

==============================
Night
==============================
I went to Pek’s house…for some blissful dinner prepared by his family. Thanks dude, we had a nice and cheerful dinner. We had several cups of beer and wine after the dinner. We teased, we laughed and felt grateful as we could be gathered around this celebration.

"End of Christmas 2009"

Christmas Eve 2009

2009-12-29T06:32:00.000-08:00

♫Jingle Bell ♫ Jing. . . . . .♫...HEY! STOP IT!! Santa Claus has returned to North Pole, there are no more bells, only balls are hanging.. It's New Year the one coming, not Merry Christmas...all the Snowmans have been ordered to return to their fridge-house and shit out their vanilla ice cream for the coming summer.

Every bloggers are busy with their own story, well...me too!! Lots of joyful moment happened around me. On that particular day, i was invited by Apple Yap, my secondary classmate to attend a small party. We dined, we crapped, we laughed, we played, and we exchanged gift. Those tiny activities, left a wonderful moment to everyone of us.

Group picture

Wu lala~~~ the x'mas gift

Upon arrived her house, i greet them by saying "Yoyoyoyo, what's up ?" hahaha, sounds like rapping, and without knowing what shyness means, i get myself a plate, wasting no time walked to the table where "bihun goreng" is served.

I walked to another table. . . ."WOOOT?!! APA NI ?!", i was shocked as i saw a stove, a pot and a multi-purpose cooker filled with red oily liquid and yellowish water. My heart whispering " Erm, when Christmas meal has changed to steamboat geh??" Seriously, this is the 1st time to have steamboat on Christmas celebration.

My heart was grinning, but since it seems alright to others, I just grabbed what i felt to eat. These two "black-hole-stomach" puts everything into the pot.

Let's look what we have here:

Yea~~ I know you gonna love it!

After the dinner, we took an opportunity to snapped some memorable moment:

And we played some mini games too !!!

The 1st game we had . . . ( I don't know what it called, but I'm sure you guys know what it is when looking at these pictures )

The 2nd game we had. . . ( again, i have no idea what it called, what we did is spin around the chair with our forehead sticks to the umbrella for 10 times, and then walked to the table where threads and needles are prepared )

The controversy aroused when Apple used a kid for the demonstration. For us, it called child abuse !!

Ok ok...this is the 3rd game we had. . . and this time i know what it called !! It called Scrabble !! We have to think 10 words out from the word CHRISTMAS, any words will do fine.

After the game, we were wondering is there any prizes for the effort we put ? Erm, negative!! It seems the organizer did not prepare any prizes, but who cares?? We just enjoying the stupid moment only.

♫Zeng zeng zeng. . .♫ The moment we have waiting for...hehe...is the exchange gift. ♫...Wu lala~~♫. . .

Can't wait to see what i get? On that night, we brought cups, chocolates, coupon, cookies and soft toys. What to expect? The budget is between RM10 to RM20 ? I won't expect a Play Station 3 with that price though, or a D-SLR.

Thanks to the theory of "Equivalent value Exchange" presented by Edward Elric in Fullmetal Alchemist, this is what i obtained:

"Not bad huh ?? At least i did not require the Philosopher Stone (贤者之石) to create the pillow. Just a little luck is needed..HAHAHA"

"9" - An awesome amination you should never miss!

2009-12-22T20:07:00.000-08:00

Recently, i came across a fantasy animation produced by the Tim Burton, a famous America film director (born August 25, 1958) . As a producer, writer, and an artist, Burton has produced numerous numbers of famous movies, for instance Edward the Scissorhand, Corpse Bride, The Night before Christmas and his coming soon production: Alice in Wonderland! Geez, he's such a talented guy !!

This movie actually should had be onscreen on 9 Sept 09, but somehow, none of the local cinema run this film. I have no ideas why, but i have to say that this sci-fi animation is just awesome, brilliant...marvelous ! I was impressed by the graphic, the color (some sort of cross-process technique) and the action played by those tiny characters. The background of this animation was set after an apocalyptic war between human and machines, where the world is completely destroyed and without human life. "9" was "borned" after his Creator made decision to sacrifice himself to save the world from the machine-brutalization. Let's have a look on some screen shot:

Watch the trailer:

Each characters come with their own thought and behavior, which makes them quite unique on its own. "9"'s voice is played by Elijah Wood, the short guy who starred Frodo in The Lord Of the Ring Trilogy. Let's take a look on the other characters involved in this animation:

9 - Elijah Wood

8 - Fred Tatasciore

7 - Jennifer Connelly

6 - Crispin Glover

5 - John C.Reilly

4 - mute
3 - mute

2 - Martin Landau

1 - Christopher Plummer

The synopsis of this animation is available through the website http://www.fandango.com/9_v332273/summary. Apart from this trailer and introductions, i found a very interesting website about Tim Burton. It is extremely creative website I have seen so far. TRY IT YOURSELF...you'll be amazed. http://www.timburton.com/

Movie summarization:

Storyline: ****
Graphic: *****
Effect: ****
Expression: ***
Creativity: ****

However, there's a few scene that remain unexplained in the film, making the flow of the story slightly sudden. Perhaps it lack of time ( 1 hour 15 minutes ). Overall, this movie is G.O.O.D!

==I wonder why none of local cinema play this film.==

Frasier Hill 181209

2009-12-21T20:51:00.000-08:00

Frasier hill – nama saja yang sedap didengar. The fact is…disappointing. The plan to Frasier Hill was finally carried out on Dec the 18th, after 1 week of planning. However, the plan was joined by 3 persons only, which has become buddies for 14 years if not mistaken. It took almost 2 ½ hours to reach Frasier Hill. However, it took us another hour at the gateway that leads to the peak of the Frasier Hill, because the gateway was only open for going up at “odd” hour and coming down at “even” hour. This is due to the path which only allow car to moving up and down in a single lane. Before we reached at the gateway (around 40 minute-distance back), we came across a dam with a spectacular scene where we stopped by to snap some picture.

Panorama shot Empangan Kubu baru.

The road was so empty allowed me to get a shot in the middle of the road

Continue on our journey, we came across a small waterfall and took a picture of it:

Here we are at the gateway to Frasier Hill, we arrived exactly 12pm, which means we gotta wait for another hour to move up, and so, we found some spot to rest, and did some crapping. Meanwhile, I snapped again with my Lumix.

Cars queuing at the entrance

We gone up to the peak after an hour, never expecting raining, we shelter ourselves on the peak and had our lunch prepared by me – the “pork in can” with Kannina bread (gardenia). Haha. Snapped some picture at the place where we took shelter.

We continued…came across small path and not-so-interesting tourist spot, somehow I snapped some photos so that the scenery could be shared here:

Yea, i like that PUKI word !!

Damn that stupid Allan’s water…and the flower garden, was closed, we don’t know its either closed forever or just not open for that day, because that day was public holiday in coincidence. However, the board stated it gonna open at 2.00pm, but look at my watch, it’s already 2.20pm… disappointing.

watch showing 2.20pm.

These are the macro shot i took on the Frasier Hill:

Here are the interesting parts; actually I used to be here 4 years ago, with my Form 6 classmate (back to year 2005 where I was 19 yrs old). Let’s see any different at those picture.

Of course, when we go for an outing, a trip wasn’t a trip without an ironic shot.

Ironic JUMP!

Ironic picture

“Jom lah, pergi genting..sini apa pun tak ada” suggested Chris, my 14-year buddy. And so, we headed down the hill at 4pm (even hour) planning to next destination, Genting. But somehow, we did not make it as the sky was getting darker.

“Pek, u tau tadi kita lalu itu ‘Thua Jiu Thou’, mau cuba makan?”, I suggested. Initially, Pek refused, but since we haven’t tried this restaurant before, he finally agreed to get a try.
Our next destination:

On the way, we saw rainbow. Under speedy condition, i took out my Lumix and snapped it!!

These were the foods we ordered that day with the receipt:

Yummy

Total : RM64

Let me summarize the trip as a conclusion for this blog:

Hill of Light II 171209 之 Winter season

2009-12-19T08:48:00.000-08:00

This time, we arrived at Bukit Cahaya at 11am. The place was quite crowded with youngster and the sun burned our skin without mercy, slowly increasing our body temperature. Our mission for that day was to visit the 4 season house everybody was talking about. Before we went to the house, we cycled around the hill once again on different route we were used to before.

Our destination:

After choosing the lucky bicycle, we started our journey, however :

We were attacked by Sun Goku!! It grabbed the bag carried by my friend, unfortunately for the monkey… it got nothing. ( Ooooops, i should censored something 1st before upload)

Chasing my friends.

Around 1.30pm, we reached the 4 season house. I initially thought the house itself was consisted of 4 seasons, but it wasn’t. It follows the global season which means it should be winter now, think Christmas~~

Frosty the snowman.

As we entered the house, we saw a miniature fountain in the center. It was a small room before we entered the North Pole. However, we did not enter immediately as our cloths were still damp with our salty sweat. We took around 10 minutes resting on the tiny room to prepare ourselves and snapped some pictures:

Clock showing 1.30pm.

Brrr….the only word I could described as I entered the frozen room. We wandered around the frozen area and I accidentally found something that wowed me when I looked at it:

-1.4 degree Celsius, the heat that could use to froze our body. This super low temperature can causes us to encounter hypothermia, which could damage our nerve system if stay for a long period.

“It’s effin cold here..” said one of my friend. Of course, we cannot stay long in this temperature for long, we quickly took the picture needed for our precious memory, some did group picture, some couple shot, and last but not least cam-whoring. For me, I would like to share my amateur shot in the snowy land:

"Yo... -1.4 degree Celsius only ma, scared what??"

Macro shot on dripping ice

Macro shot II

After 20 minutes, we had enough coldness where our palms and faces numbed. Fortunately, the tiny room did not provide fan, otherwise, we gonna be the snowman. Outside the “North Pole”, I grabbed my Lumix once again and shot the butterfly and flowers found within the compound:

When we had enough fun at the 4 season house which costs RM3 per person, we head down the hill, and planned for lunch and had our group picture.

I was on the most right~

However, the lunch was not gone through smoothly…and the story was continued by thunder and raining…only those knew about it.

Morning and Afternoon Short trip 12dec2009

2009-12-15T08:41:00.000-08:00

Mission : heading to Putrajaya and Alamanda shopping center for a walk.
Troop members : Mom, sis, bro-in law, nephew and me.
Time : reached around 9.45am and left around 11.45am.

Well, today is the day, the 1st day I ever step in outside of the corridor of the mosque, which is located in Putrajaya, south of the KL, as the federal administrative centre of Malaysia. We did plan to go there for a visit back to 2 days earlier to bring my 20 months nephew and my mother for a trip-walk. The environment of Putrajaya left several praises and criticizes to me as I observed the design and the accommodation which built not far from that land. The environment of Putrajaya is clean, peaceful, free of noise and air pollution which are good reasons for resting and stopover. Additionally, several places have become tourist attractions such as Putra Mosque, Heritage square and Seri Wawasan Bridge are excellent spot for “1st time visitor”.

There are much better things to do for the money", said veteran opposition figure Lim Kit Siang. Not being a criticizer, I actually quite agree with what Lim Kiat Siang said about the project as a symptom of “Megalomania”. It used up at least 20 billion to build the city, which considers a massive waste of money.

Being not-so-fancy about the place I visited last week, I’ll post up the amateur picture I took within the perimeter of Putrajaya.

This is the Malay girl i tackle in the mosque. Hahahaa, just kidding ! She's my sister in the not-so-cool pinky robe. I think the purpose of wearing this is to show the respect of the Muslim. But only women are compulsory to wear it. =.=lll

Some Kawaiian Japs girls are on their trip too ^^ sadly no chance to say HI to them..

After leaving Putrajaya around 11.45am, we went to a small town, a rural area not far from “Megalomania” to have our lunch. Before we reached the town, I saw a Chinese graveyard beside the trunk road. Dengkil the named given, is a small Chinese town located about 20-minute distance from Putrajaya, where nice and worthy food can be found there. We drop by and had our precious lunch at a sea food restaurant.

The food we ordered from the restaurant: Vegie, Own-made tofu, Marmite pork and Salty egg yolk prawn.

The prices are shown clearly on the board. Look at the "forget-not" fish, costing you RM80.00 per 100 gram, imagine you order 1 kilo.. @.@! *siao liao*

To finalize the "ke-tasty-an" of the food ordered, multiple thumbs up for the receipt!!

By the way, not an excellent trip, but really enjoy the food we had, ah, sedap! the most important thing is....

I DO NOT NEED TO PAY FOR THE MEAL. I ATE IT FOR FREE !! \(O.O)/ WUUUHOOO~~

1 Malaysia !!! o.O

2009-12-14T08:43:00.000-08:00

Last week, i went to Taipan business centre in order to re-apply my Streamyx service after i "POTONG" for around 3 months. I'm not that "syiok" after potong..not smooth..sakit...Er...i mean sakit hati when i saw the line jerking and lagging..God damn it. Hence, i made decision to re-apply and stick with Streamyx. Well, why it necessary to apply here? Isn't it the same if i apply at Kepong branch?? Erm, for your information, there's a promotion where the 12 cent-calling-rate to cell-phone user is only available in 3 branches, Butterworth, Skudai and Taipan. That's why my bro-in-law and i went to Taipan for the application.

Without notice that, the TM-point was located just beside my ex-company ESH electrical appliances shop which i found it so coincidence. We waited for almost 1 and a half hours for our turn, the service of that branch were only so so, and that's do fine for us, what we want was just the calling-rate.

So, what the main subject of this post?? Haha, here's the hilarious part i wanna share with u guys.. While i was filling the form, i notice there's something wrong with 1 of the line.

Try to take a look..

It seems nothing wrong with it right? Haha..as far as you guys know..we, as a Malaysian..is an unity country consists of Chinese, Malay and Indian. Do you guys remember every time we take exams, the form we filled normally asking for your "bangsa"? Oh come on..we are unity race, what for they're asking our "bangsa-lity?". Well, the idea of dropping that term "bangsa" from the form was "recommended" by a lot of people (although i don't have any idea who they was)..and i believed that because of that, they discard the quote "bangsa" which required us to tick one of it.

In America, even their skin color is consist of 2 colors, their forms are never intended to distinguish either you are black or white, they only ask for "Nationality, American or not". So, i think u guys got my point here. We are unity country, it's not important to ask for our races. Since they already discard the term "bangsa".. they still persistent to know what races we are. Quite funny~~~~To show we are unity races of all kind, my bro-in-law helps me to tick all the festival we are going to celebrate.

"Inilah baru panggil 1 malaysia, kan kan kan??"

Perhaps TM fellas wish to post us a postcard or whatever possibility promotion to their customers according to the festival their celebrate so that customers could enjoy more privileges.

However, i'm bet they can realize from the beginning we wrote our name, don't they?

Mural Artisticism

2009-12-09T23:02:00.000-08:00

Most of the time, people used to edit their photos in order to create a dazzling and astonishing photo of themselves. For me, the usage of editing software can be widen as it might creates other impressive effects depends on creativity and inspiration. For instance, we may find tons of idea on what we saw everyday, such as movie, music, weather, people, landscape, home appliances, trashes and much much more. By observing our environment, some ideas will automatically constructed in your mind, and what we need to do is storming our brain for a while to create another art-piece in different point of view.

-A mural-wannabe gruesome portrait-

Well, this is the 2nd picture i victimize myself. However, there is no real picture in this portrait where only brush tool is used..but the structure of the face and body are constructed using a background with a real picture in it.

To be honest, this idea of this gruesome picture was taken when i watch an anime called "Full Metal Alchemist" where Alphonse's wearing a piece of heavy armor with a red glowing eye in him. Although his appearance is not in gruesome condition, what i did was get my mind twisted in another point of view, and try to reconstruct and add some effects on the masterpiece.

-Edward (human) and Alphonse(armor) Elric Brother-

In this project, i can conclude the difficulty to create this portrait by 4/10. In fact, this is not as hard as imagine..because most of the step involve color-picking using Eyedropper Tool and normal brush technique..that's all. Additional techniques are masking and general color/hue adjustment =)

As previously, i will post my silly face photo which i used as a background of my project. All the idea and creativity are cluster together in order to create a gruesome and disturbing portrait. In future, hopefully can share some other taste of editing.

-Cam whoring with mouth wide open-

===============================================================

[0909] Guys any plan for this Friday?

[0938] Oh ok ok. I’m thinking of goin to gua tempurung

[1325] What about sungkai? Yeong suggested..

[1343] Guys, we’ll go to sungkai this Friday la. Let me know if its on or not. Thanks

[1345] Ok no problem bro =)..

27 November 2009

===============================================================

Pek (Christopher) arrived at my house at 0911 hour. I grabbed my bags with clothes and towel inside, heading down to my apartment to meet with him. We then went to Selayang to fetch Pia (Yeong) and finally to Manjalara to fetch Low and had our breakfast.

Around 1030, we started our 1 day trip. Unexpectedly, we jammed at the highway due to accident and arrived at Sungkai at 1200. Its super sunny and hot.. I was wondering should I go and "soak" my body into the water?? It’s like insane job man..Even so, we gotta try it, as we already here, it’s wasted if came here without trying the hot spring, it so meaningful huh..We parked our car, walk into the recreation area and found a group of people soak their leg into the water. Not far from that, I saw another group of people, with their own basket containing eggs were soaking in the hot spring water.

Erm, any special point and meaning eating egg here?

We then walked around the recreation area before we entered the hot spring pool.

[A medium size fountain]

The temperature of the hot spring is from 50-60degree Celsius, plus the hot sunny day, it wasn’t fun at all..However, I’m sure it’s pretty awesome if the weather is moody. Since we were here, we must try the feeling we dip into the hot spring. We soaked for half an hour and immediately away from the hot spring.

[man-made Hot Spring Pool]

According to my friends, there is a mountain spring at the other side of the park. Without hesitating, we rushed to the cold side right after we had our BLOODY HELL EXPENSIVE lunch there.

We spent 1 hour in the mountain spring because it started to rain. We packed our things and drive out from the TRAP (Taman Rekreasi Air Panas) around 1530.

I like that pose..good work, keep it up =P

[At 1520 hour] :

“What’s the plan next?”

“Jom cari makan lah…”

“mana??”

“kuala selangor…eat seafood”

“Klang lah”

“But Klang is bak kut teh lah…”

“Let’s find near sungkai la..seafood, my fren recommend one..you guys follow my car”

“Alright..”

And so, we went to a Chinese restaurant located at 35, Jln Besar, 35600 Sungkai, Perak.

We ordered, sit there and waited for almost 20 minutes before we get served. Here is the food we ordered:

Wow..that’s the reaction when the bill is on the table. RM 218.50. What the heck??? It’s look like we kena sembelih….the foods are cheap..except the fish. RM 120. What the F ? I say nothing but just take my wallet out, and pay the amount divided fairly by 9 persons. Initially, we did not plan to order fish..as we know the fish price is high, but one of my friend which is worked as fish distributor said this fish is extremely rare in KL, so let’s have a try and we agree without asking the price. And so, we were slaughtered.

Moral of the trip, never never order fish..if u want to..ask the price 1^st.

“RRRiiiing!!!!!”….. The clock embedded in the Sony Ericsson’s phone rang at 7am. It’s time to wake up and prepare my 1-day cycling trip at Bukit Cahaya, located at Shah Alam. We had discussed to gather at PJ before we move to the destination. After a cup of coffee, I grabbed all my gears and roll out from my house. I met Yaw Cheung at his house and from there, as we drove to PJ to fetch others friends.

Bukit Cahaya was once known as Taman Pertanian where most of the plant species are kept here. However, there are several activities can be organized here nowadays such as jogging, cycling, fishing and some extreme games such as Skytrex, Flying fox and Cargo net. Our main objective in this park today was cycling. It’s been a few years I had not touch my bicycle, wondering myself able to cycle with the rusted skill.

After we reach there, we stood and sit for about 20 minutes just to wait for another guy who late for the activity…KongXY was the name, stay at Klang and the nearest from Shah Alam comparing us (PJ)

This is the picture we took at the entrance of the park.

For the activity we had there, it costs less than RM10 including the parking which is RM 1, entrance fee RM 3, and the rental fee of bicycle RM 3 for the first hour, and RM 1 for the following hour.

Once we reached the bicycle hut around 10.35am, we chose “the-best-bicycle-you-can-found-there”. Some of the bicycle there were not working, either its brake system of the gear mechanism, but some of it is really in good condition. Depends on your luck and observation, you might find a good bike there.

We moved out from the staring point, cycling towards the hill. It was so great at the beginning of the cycling session, after 20 minutes, I started to sweat, exhausted and my knee feel numb. It simply indicates that I had not had cycling for a long period of time. We decided to take a short break as we felt exhausted in the initial state.

We moved again to the next destination which is about 10 minutes distance. There is a tower built near a lake. It wasn’t a splendid scene as we expected because the water of the lake is in dark green-brownish color. But, we saw a “sign” from the top of the tower. A sign that points out danger of the human kind. THERE IS CIRCLE CROP…A MALAYSIAN MADE CIRCLE CROP!! Hahahahaha.

We take another short break at the top of the tower about 5 minutes and continue back to our journey.

Initially, we were cycling with another group of friends, but we were “abandoned” because of our slowness. But it’s definitely fine, we could enjoy in our way. We continue cycling to another directionless destination. Where there’s a road, and that is our path. We come along a road which requires a lot of courage to carry on.

JALAN BERANI (wondering is there any Jalan Berahi )

However, two young and brave skinny guys make up his guts and challenge the dead path. He cycled up the trail about 20 meters and then speed up down to our side. Very thumbs up for them!

Kong and Gaven the rempitzz~~

We move again…and came across a tiny pond at the side of the road, the tiny pond was so clear and there are some fishes live in it. The sun shines onto the pond, reflects the pond making it looks blurs. A colorful dragonfly was found near the pond and I decided to use macro shot to capture it down. However, my camera capability limits me to take a quality shot.

Finally, we reached to the terminal of the park, which is the highest point of somewhere of the park, and the most worthy place to be visited. Given the named “taman empangan baru”, a medium size of dam is built there and some fishing activities can be done here.

Fishes swim in anti-clockwise direction endlessly.

Fishes are kept in the fixed size square.

Hot sunny day promotes everybody to drink icy cold 100 plus which sold at price RM 2. Do you guys earn salary from 100 plus for the advertisement??

CHEERS!!

The only 3 86’s young man in the group.

It’s time to back. We cycle back at around 1300. It’s hell hot at that time. We have to rest several times to back to the starting point. The greatest time is when we speeding down the slope like rempit..wow, the feeling is indescribable. Now I understand what rempit feels when they speeding, although it involves the danger risk.

Nice to have this kinda activity once in awhile.

Eerie yet artistic, disturbing but sophisticated

2009-11-23T08:58:00.000-08:00

Yo, folks~ the use of photoshop is to create or modify normal or some say “fugly” still images to sparkling or “wow” life images. But have you ever imagine or try to create a creepy portrait? Yea.. in this post I’m going to show you guys a photoshoped images with eerie and disturbing graphic, but yet quite artistic, sophisticated picture..

[Here it is…Terminator version chinese you would say?? Rock ya!!]

Well, I know this ugly and some say disgusting I might think. Even my mom says “touchwood” after I asked her to have a look on what I had created. It gives dunno-how-to-describe(disturbing) feeling when looking at this picture, even I felt “yiak” during the progress. I have to look at my own picture for the whole session. The reason I use my own picture is I don’t want to victimize others handsome and pretty faces. hereby i attach my seductive face...the face that look like a slaughter after cleanse.

[My silly face..yet handsome]

Ok ok, what so interesting about this picture is, beside my own seductive look, all the materials used in this picture are commonly found in my bathroom! No other items outside the bathroom are used in the photoshop editing session. Cool……

This picture took me about half day to complete it (if count seriously). The actual duration to finish this project is around 2 weeks, where my own picture and the bathroom material are taken. I get this idea is around 3 weeks ago. Well, the reason it takes so much time to complete this single picture can be described using 4 letters: L.A.Z.Y

So, let’s have a look on the material I used for this project. Cast iron T-joint, wire from water heater, aluminum-coated hose, water tap, rusted-clip, towel hanger, door knob, lever-type water tap, glass shelf holder and last but not least connector.

[ Material used only found in my bathroom]

The difficulty of this project…I might say immediate level, because most of the steps involve the masking technique, brightness/contrast and Hue/saturation adjustment. Another technique is simple as make shadow for every pieces of material. By doing this, the materials used will look more contrast and realistic. I divided those parts into respectively folders touch-up; cheek; ear; nose; eye; forehead; mouth & chin. The purpose is to ease me up when I want to edit, since it is messy as each particular folder contains 6 or 7 or more layers and I did not manage them in proper way.

[Multi folders and layers used]

One fun thing is when I removed my own picture, I found that the frame becomes eerie no more and what extra is a cute and completely different from what we see initially.

[Plain Version of Terminator]

So, is my face making the picture look ghostly and disturbing?? I’m doubt!

1 day trip to CM(central market)

2009-06-24T07:36:00.000-07:00

It's been N years i did not step into central market, until few weeks ago, probably last month, i went there again with my friend, just to hang around and observe the different environment.

"Located along Jalan Hang Kasturi, a few minutes away from Petaling Street, Central Market which was built in 1888 was originally a wet market."

"The Kuala Lumpur Central Market located at Jalan Hang Kasturi (Rodger Street) was built in the years 1888 and 1889 at a construction cost of $48,000.00.The Market was subsequently expanded in the years 1895, 1920 and 1921. Up to the year 1933, the cost of extension had gone up to 167,000,00."

reference: http://www.centralmarket.com.my/history.aspx

After 121 years of revolutions and modernization, a lot of changes has been done in CM. Not only it changed to "so-called" dry-market, it has since being classified as a Heritage Site by the Malaysian Heritage Society and it is now a landmark for Malaysian Culture and Heritage displaying a wide variety of Malaysian Arts and Handicrafts, Batik, Antiques and attractive souvenirs.

A shop selling ancient wood statue..real cool!
"It's better not to snap the statue because there may have some invited spirit inside the statue, so a close-up shoot is prohibited." A statement made by my friend.

A little alley of central market

Corner shop lot selling handicraft.

Chinese Street, selling variety of arts and shirts.

Kids' watch for sales

"sakai" necklace =P

nice deco..

Even though it's not that famous, but it still crowded.

A lot of renovation has been done in order to make it as a tourist spot.

"man-nin-cheng"

Well, it's a really good idea to explore and understand more about our culture if we do not have any place to visit, perhaps in the middle of the process we can learn something that we do not know even though we stay here for quite a long time. Life is not about digging out our bad events and negative thinking,sit recklessly and feel helpless, but to grow up and explore the journey we yet to discover, just like the man-nin-cheng, no matter what is the weather, no matter where it is, either in pots or soil land, it still grows towards the sunlight in order to survive, and make the environment more cheerful and relaxing colourful.

miracle of Sky

2009-05-25T09:11:00.000-07:00

Every bodies dislike hot and sunny day. The reason? Just simply because it makes your body sweat, smelly and feeling not comfortable all day long. But, is there any interesting stuff you can get on this hot sunny day, while you no need to step out from your house?? Let's see....How about take shower for the whole day?? Or sleep in the air-conded room?? Geeez, that’s kinda awful to me…

Say, I’m going to share something interesting with you guys today while, you can do it on your own when you are free and have no money to spend around. It’s totally FOC ( free of charge) and you’re going to have some grateful feeling as to see how miracle it is when the Sun meets the Earth.

This is the snapshot of the sky of time interval from 11am to 7pm above my apartment. Since my room is not able to see sun rise, so I’m not going to post the picture of it, but, from my room, you’ll see sunset!! yay ^^Y

Snap shot at 11.06am. The sky is so clear and there's just a few of cloud floating around.

6.45pm: Dark cloud's approaching, thought it's gonna rain soon.

6.55pm: Sky start to getting darker..but the sun beam shines bright through the cloud...wow!

7.00pm: The real sun set begins! that's pretty awesome except the retarded building block my view..babi betul.

7.08pm: The appearance of the dragon cloud! can you guys imagine it?

7.27pm: The sun light is so strong to keep the sky from turning dark.

7.40pm: The last shot of the day, there's still a glance of orangish light from the sun.

Well, although the day was hot, the magnificent of the God's creation soothes the feeling when the time i took this picture. It sounds kinda bored, but i enjoy the moment of the nice sunset. Oh, but there is one thing is real good about that day, it was windy and it's a very nice to feel those wind when it blows my face ^^ syok!

Doomsday is coming!

2009-04-18T09:44:00.000-07:00

Week 15 is the week that I supposed to boost my study no matter what it costs. Somehow, I can't concentrate on what I study, my mind is wondering here and there planning where to go and where to hang out. hahaha. Even though I already took out all the related notes, put it on the table, and referring the lecture slide on the monitor, my “mind” wasn’t there.

So, since I really don't have any mood to do revision, I took out my new camera and snapped a picture on how my room’s condition look like. This is what I got :

*** Click on the image to enlarge *** I posted the image on my facebook Account ***

"WOW...that's like trash room, dood!!"

Hahaha, that’s really a messy room I screwed!! Argh…don’t care. I’ll clean it after the exam over~~

Who says baby doesn’t know anything?!?!?!?!

2009-04-13T04:48:00.000-07:00

Everybody is saying that small kids are innocent and naïve…but not anymore...nowadays, even baby knows how important money is!!! Everybody is happy when they have money…no matter who are they…this world is too materialistic, dood! Even baby knows how to express when they have a lot a lot of money… You do not believe me?? You will understand when you take a look at the pictures shown below:

Still cannot believe it? Dood, see carefully! See how they react when they have a lot of money~~~

Hah! Do you see that, dood? They feel extremely joyful when they saw the money. If you found your babies behave like this, please, do not give them any notes anymore….otherwise they will lose control, swing here and there holding the notes, hahahahaha:

Well, this is my nephew...erm,i think he is almost 1 year-old, it's really difficult to make him smiles..but Cry-Out-Loud easily...somehow, he smiles when we gave him some notes and tickle his foot, that's why the photo does not show his both feet... LOL!
