Another happy session

Remedial..and refreshing..

Its nice having hungry happy people over, people who uve not seen for a while..and have them leave at the end of the day full, and happier than when they came..hopefully..huhu

Today had a slight makan2 jamuan thing, a sort of meet up among friends..instead of the usual mamak where we would get together and have a chat, the venue this time would be my humble home, where I would try my best to dine them, and make catch up on watever things i can..

Ade yang makin kurus sebab intern, ade yang dah rambut start panjang, ade yang nak mule buat rambut jambul..ngahahaha...
yeah, blame it on the mamak for salah potong all u want, but still look like hero hindustan laa!! miahahahaha!!

anyways..enuf with the talk, time for some raw pics!!

















Alep tgh korek idung....(-_-")...

All in all, it was a good day..however those i wanted to see coming this time around didn't make it..

Another entry for the hols..happy CNY Malaysia

Senang betul nak kemana2 due tige ari nih, cukup senang.
Jalan yang kebiasaannya padat dgn kenderaan kesana kesini....kosong...

well, not fully kosong, but I can say that i was cruising to work yesterday, instead of the usual crawl...arrived at work 10 mins earlier, walaupon kluar rumah lambat..

aih, if everyday was like this...id get better sleep, and id save more on fuel..definitely..

The advantage of having the roads so clear is that ley jalan2 tmpt2 u usually dont go to, just to know the roads..arent many cars, so takdelah ur suddenly stuck in traffic jam+salah jalan+sesat..

take a joyride perhaps this weekend..hmm..not a bad idea..

Its a 4 day weekend, so for those working away from home, or havent been home in a while, its a time to travel back to their hometown..lepas rindu kat katil sendiri and makan free+sedap kat rumah..hahaha

Teringat zaman skolah rendah dulu, pantang cuti je, balik kampung (in Kelantan in case ur wondering)..distinctively remembering that i like going back because it was different..and because the 8 hour drive back was entertaining..
We use to have this cassette (some youngsters nowadays dont even know what a cassette is) of the late Sudirman..we would listen to it, over and over all the way to kelantan..

the classic

"Balik kampung, wo 0h oh balik kampung!!"

and theres this one song about the alphabet..i forgot what it was called..but we sang our hearts out!!!

now it seems, like we jarang balik Kg..its the grandparents yang come to the city during breaks..huhu, udah terbalik..

i for one, have turned into someone who has very low tolerance for long rides bek to kg..;p
8 hours seems like forever..aih..
I want to balik kg, dont get me wrong, but id rather it not be by car, if flight ke ok sket..cepat..

gler demanding!!..

yeah, mebe i am kinda demanding..hahahahaha

nanti, when i have kids..time cuti2, balik kampung kire will be in Subang it seems, this will be my kids kampung..kan?

different to the kampung vision i had, but hey, times are a changing i guess..


got three more days of golek2..its been a while since i had a good sit down with some buddies..

0_o?

*light bulb*

Lets have a look shall we?

First of all, Happy Chinese New Year to fellow Malaysians~!!!!

Lets get things rolling now...

In case u people were wondering...

Yes, i have bought myself a new camera..yep2.

and

if u must know..its a Sony A200....

and yes... i went to buy at Sg Wang

yes, alone...

in case u people were wondering....thats all...;p



so, with a lot of my money spent...how do i feel?....

must say, feeling very happy..finally..its been a long long wait..

it has been months of looking thru the net for reviews...rummaging through forums for opinions..hours spent at shopping malls asking the kedai this and that...even went to Youtube to look at reviews....
yes..this wasnt a decision made on a whim...its weeks of browsing and reasearh..so much so that if i was in the field of medicine..i could've found the cure for the common cold or something like that...

before i was into only post processing, mostly with other people's shot and pictures..
then the need to process my own work was aroused..why? because i find that to stave of the urge to do some serious photoshop-ing, i need to take my own set of photos, and work on them, rather than wait for others...

so here are some few shot taken with my new cammy, and please be gentle as they are only test shots done at home..




















Langsir shot in my room




















Dad's car logo..trying to test how close i can get in and still focus




















Taking it for a spin outside a bit.picture of the laman.like the colours it spat out..


bear in mind these were simply snapped...not a thought went into composition, exposure bla2..so yeah..its pretty ordinay..

now to officially take it for a day out....sape nak join..kite tembak orang buat Dragon dance!!!!...

but where ek? ;p

____________________________________________________________________

Just my humble opinion...

I'd like to mention here, that before one would buy items of great value, or items that would cost a lot of one's money...it would be best not to rush things..take it slow...think it through..do some research...avoid going to the shop and buy on impulse..most often than not, u'll end up regretting it because it wasnt what u hoped for or u were just swept away by the moment..shopkeepers have a way of making u feel that ure making the right choice then and there..

Electronics for the most part has tons of reviews on the internet..so do ur homework..or ull end up with a gadget u regret owning..

Sri Eton

We are moving with the times..makin maju ke hadapan..
modern??
Are we better off from when we were 20-30 years ago? herm..tu tak pasti, tapi the thing i noticed is that teknologi makin modern, even nama2 pon dah modern...perempuan dgn nama seperti Honey, Sarah, atau nama melayu tetapi diselitkan bunyi2 nama omputih seperti Susan Isyah (takde kaitan dgn yang hidup mahu yang telah mati)..lelaki dgn nama2 seperti Danial, Romeo dan lagi nama2 yang aku juga rasa mcm kool bile sebut...

kemana hilang nama2 klasik melayu, nama2 yang nostalgic mengingatkan kita akan zaman2 kegemilangan filem2 melayu dan zaman dimana lagu2 yang dinyanyikan lembut gemalai..bukan dipengruhi hip hop mahupun trip hop..

zaman dahulu kala dimana pakcik2 yang botak masih memiliki rambut afro bulat, dan makcik2 suke memakai rambut tinggi seperti Marge Simpson...

zaman dimana orang lelaki sluar ketat sampai nampak ba*ls adalah normal,
zaman cermin mata besar mcm goggle scubadiving adalah trend..
zaman tiada henpon untuk miskol2 awek nak ajak dating..

slalu time skolah rendah, ble baca buku teks Bahasa Melayu, ade nama Ali atau Abu...

kemana semua Ali2 dan Abu2 sudah pergi?

herm...

so..what is my point exactly??

today i have obtained an item, a piece of technology that i think has potential to create art...
and to commemorate the advancement of technology to which has robbed me of my savings, and at the same time tidak lupa akan zaman2 klasik Malaysia dahulu, i have given this piece of technology a name..

ku beri nama kamu...Sri Eton

sekian

i need rest..

Typical weekday

6:15 wake up and ready2 for work..

6:45 off to work, go out early because want to huge traffic jam....its a nightmare to exit Subang during rush hours..(-_-")...make more roads out please MPSJ!!!!

7:20 reach opis, see if pintu opis bukak or not, if not open, sambung sleep inside the car..i need all the rest i can get.

8:00 most probably already at my desk, turns on computer and then make myself a cuppa neskepe..for safety reasons...im hazardous without caffeine..

8:30 start working...start here means panas2 enjin..;p

9:00-18:30 working hours..waktu balik 18:30 seems just like a suggestion sometimes..balik lagi lambat padahal...im an intern not a full time employee fer pete sake!!! pay me more if u want me to do work until malam..;p..not professional i know, but hey..wont hurt to demand kan? hahahaha

20:00 reach home, tired..mandi2 and dinner...cek2 tenet for any gadget news

22:00 head starts to get heavy...mind restless..pakse my sis to pijak blakang....;p

23:00 prolly have dozed off on the couch...with my cellphone dangling..my tolerance of late night stay up has decreased...now is that a good thing?


if this is a taste on what an engineer life would be...honestly, id have to say...pretty boring....
all the time u have to urself are the weekends, tu pon if they dont call u to work then too...ngaaaa

Wondering if more is on the way..

First of all,

Time kasih kepada kerajaan kerana memberi angpow lebey tahun nih~ akhirnya, its been a long thing coming!!! and all at a time when we needed u most Malaysia!! wee~~

Still, is this all we are getting? 0_o?

I quote from the text of the speech given by our Prime Minister

"Peningkatan elaun tersebut adalah di antara 23 peratus sehingga 84 peratus. Kadar baru ini berkuatkuasa mulai semester pertama sesi 2007"


mulai sesi 2007 means that it backdates to semester jan 07..so the amount yang dapat nih is already terkumpul? or is it just for the Jan 2008 semester?

if it is terkumpul, than it is clear yang kenaikan for us is the minimum of only 23%...maybe sbb kite IPTS and also sbb the campus is located luar bandar..who knows..

if its for the Jan 2008 semester only and more is on the way..then whoa...im a happy man!!!

so, its not as much as id hope..but bersyukur..takdelah sempit hidup nih, bertemankan air liur sahaja apabila ke kedai..;p

yes, its an obsession

Theres something about art that makes wanna look at myself and say
"How come I couldnt do something like that?"
"Am i not creative?"

All the creative juices in me oozes through the crevices in the form of words at best, be it written or spoken..it was never to materialize in images or portraiture which undoubtedly is better received by the masses..

Words, beautifully carved and well structured, still needs reading...
Pictures, either composed or taken at a whim, takes only a glance for its own natural story to unravel, its own flavor leaving an impression on eyes that are blessed enough to view it..


And so, the yearning inside me which was but mere sparks before and now gone full bloom, yes..i want to be able to take pictures that will stop people in their shoes and socks, and make them mumble...

"whoaaa"

they say a piece of art is only as fine as the tools of the artiste, song only as beautiful as the tune of its instrument..

here i am but without the tool...without a tool...

only desire fuels
