Control Yourself, Take Only What You Need From It
I know there’s something down below,
So I’ll keep reaching in.
5 Feet of Snow (Miami Horror Remix) - The Dirty Secrets
On another note, who the fuck were all those people at TAG yesterday?! Gile ah!
So I’ll keep reaching in.
5 Feet of Snow (Miami Horror Remix) - The Dirty Secrets
It's been a hectic week, with me planning things and purchasing stuff, which hopefully will boost my interest in photography. I can't wait for tomorrow to be over.
On another note, who the fuck were all those people at TAG yesterday?! Gile ah!

Experimented with a few flashes, and some ghetto soft-boxes made of shoe-boxes. And it was a success! Wheeee

I Hope It's Just Your Laugh That Is Infectious
Good morning
You woke up
Got dressed up
Hair messed up
Good Morning - Sparks
Wake Up, Sunshine
I'm sure I'm going to be gone after this, since I haven't slept yet. Hahaha. Was up reading, listening to music and checking out stuff. Then at around 5.30 a.m. I checked Facebook and saw that Mel was talking about breakfast and sunrises, so I thought I'd give her a buzz. Buk bak buk bak, we agreed to have breakfast.
Can you see me?
Headed on to her place at around 6.10 and we went to McD to have some breakfast, and also figure out where to catch the sunrise, if possible. Drove around after breakfast and ended up on the rooftop carpark of Carrefour, and it was pretty interesting up there. View was quite nice. And I think I wouldn't mind going up there and having some sort of photoshoot.You woke up

Fly me to the moon
Here comes the sun
Sorry for not having pictures of me. Hahaha. I was the one with the camera, and you all know how camera-shy I am ;)
We gotta install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We gotta move these refrigerators
We gotta move these colour TV's

Don't Give Up, You're Not Beaten Yet. Don't Give Up, I Know You Can Make It Good
I wait alone, she does the same,
Made up my mind to end this game,
But when it gets to half past two,
I feel the pain of missing you
Can He Find Another One - Double Discovery
Right down the middle, aye
Woke up considerably early considering I slept very late (8 am, yeah wtf? Was absorbed with It), and went to check up on Clare and the kindergarten photography thingy. Settled that and headed over to the Curve to lepak with Ginger for a while, waiting for the time to pass to fetch Lisa from class. Already planned with Kinz to take some photos today actually, though the pig was sleeping still at 3 pm (Pundek! Hahahah).
So headed to his house round 5.30, since the weather looked pretty decent (actually more decent for running than photography, but whack only la kan?). Ended up at Lake Gardens, and I let him play with my macro thing. I just wandered around with the pervert lens and snapped flowers. Oh so boring. Hahaha. But hey ho la di da it was really quite interesting. Experimented a little, somewhat, I guess. Oooh! Lots of mosquito bites too, those blood-sucking buggers from hell (Kinz has some macros of them on his feet. Tengok la, maybe he'll post them up on his blog)
So yeah, pictures. I think the shallow dof thing is a phase, and someday will be overused kot. But until then, bear with me.

There was this girl who was drawing stuff. Takde kerja betul.
And there was this guy who was stalking bugs. Weird kind of fetishism? Hmmm
And I just came back from futsal, actually. Was a very fun game, and it's been quite a while since I last played. Tired, exhausted, but sedated and satisfied.
Though Damien Rice and his O album didn't help on the way back. Hahaha.

Shuk: Korang pernah hisap rokok Saad tak?
Zeb: Tak, kenape?
Shuk: Jangan. Cheapest ass cigarettes, and rasa macam hisap kote gajah.
Us: *Laugh like shit*
Shuk: Shiva, ko pernah hisap rokok Saad?
Shiva (Who just came to join us): Tak.
Shuk: Don't. Tastes like donkey dick sial.
Hahahahah! I can't wait for work to begin. Call time tomorrow : 2 pm. Wheet!

You Think I Don't, But I Do
I just won't accept it.
You smile hiding behind
A God-given face
But I know you're so much more
Everything they ignore
Is all that I need to see
Let Love In - The Goo Goo Dolls
Sometimes, you've just got to be nuts.
Was re-reading some of my really early entries on this site, and they brought a smile to my face, seeing how far I've come, seeing what I've been through, seeing things that are different back then. Though some photos (actually, a lot) have been lost due to theft, some still remain, though they aren't the originals, they're still there, somewhere, online.
Like this one, for example. Ahhh this was an interesting experience, no? Hahahaha. It was a, um, Thursday? Thinking back to that day made me laugh so much, though I think the one with the plunger didn't really see the funny side of things. Not immediately, anyway.

For fuck's sake, I'm going to kill ****** for this.
Mmm so yeah, I'm not actually reviewing how I've done so far, or whatnot. I just picked out a moment in life that interested me. Of course, there are more interesting moments, but I'm not touching on them, yet. For now, some sort of boredom kicks in, and I went outside to shoot a few very long exposure shots. Hahahaha. Shows how bored I was / am.
And tomorrow, going to the bank at 8.30 am (Yes, 8.30 am. What the hell. It's a bleeding Saturday!) and taking out some money for some payments. Aih, means sleeping early, waking early, and being grumpy.
*mumble grumble fart*
*Oh, I puked in college today. Hahaha. Wtf.

And the World Will Live As One
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine - John Lennon
Well, it has been in the rain before, but I thought it'd like some shelter for once.
But at the end of the day (night, technically) it was hella fun to sit there and watch. And cheer.
It was the wicked and wild wind, that blew the doors and let me in. Shattered windows and the sound of drums, people couldn't believe what I've become.

Amazing, isn't it, what divides, what unites. The one thing that's supposed to unite millions can separate two. Well, a guy can dream. Can imagine, anyway.
Anyway. Today I decided to stay in college and watch the Volleyball tourney, partly because Mel was in it, partly because I wanted to see if I could take photos, and partly because, well.. because. Plus, it's been a while since I've watched a live sport, and cheered, too, now that I think about it. Well, in a competition, anyway.
So yeah. It was very fun. I have little to no knowledge about the game, aside from the fact that one is supposed to hit the ball over to the opposing team, and not let the ball touch the ground on one's own side. That about sums up what I know. So I managed to learn a few things, like you could use your other body parts, and such. Hahaha. Mmmmm interesting.
The photos, well, to be frank they sucked. Ahhhh it was horrible. Most if not all were shot in RAW (because I thought I could boost the EC up by a stop or two, and also remove noise more effectively). Apparently it didn't turn out so well, anyway. Sigh, the woes of inexperience, bad lighting and a slow lens.
Photo stats (All were shot with this setting):
Camera : 40D
Lens : 24-70 2.8L
Mode : Manual
ISO: 3200
Aperture : 2.8
Shutter Speed : 1/320

Sometimes You Just Can't Hold Back The River
One, two, three, four!
I was kidnapped real young by the sweet taste of love
Built a fondness for things that just weren't good enough
I cradled the crow, always shooed off the dove
Which tagged me a naïve son
Rainbows in the Dark - Tilly and the Wall
A Lonely, Sad, Depressed Child
*Edit: I'm missing a lot of things, at the moment. Haha. Yeah, random.

Slogging for hours on end on an assignment has never been something that I actually look forward to, but yet I don't really dread it, as I think I need the push of an impending assignment due date to actually make me do the assignment. The luxury of time is usually wasted on me, as I tend to not fully use it. Hey ho, the life of the average college student, eh? Hahaha.
Anyway, I managed to complete the 3000 word essay (which turned out to have roughly 27++ words), and I feel more, um, assured, for want of a better word. I think I managed to do it according to what is required. I hope, actually.
I wanted to make this post all reflective and thoughtful, like, but decided against it. I'll save it for another day. I've not told anyone, actually, with regards to what was said about myself. Well, anyone outside of family, anyway. So yeah, hmmm. It wasn't easy.
So. Anyways. Just now we had some photographic fun / experimentation. We here being Lisa and I, my camera and my flashes. I was just playing around with um, what a lot of people call "Creative Lighting" where multiple flashes are used. Whatever people call it, I was playing with lighting, to put it in a nutshell. Pretty fun. Oh, and also experimenting with a different method of processing.
Oh, yes? You said something?
The much-needed test shot
Lisa: Treng treng trengggg tralala purple bunnies trenggg
Oh, and we (Lisa being the subject, me the photog) thought it would be pretty fun to act out some sort of scenario, and decided on the sequence that follows.

And Everyday, There Comes A Song With The Dawn
Cause there is a light
In your eyes, in your eyes
Hold on hold tight
From out of your sight
Everything keeps moving on, moving on,
Hold on hold tight
Make it throught another night
Breathe In, Breathe Out - Mat Kearney
I'm so so nervous! Hahaha. Oh shit.

Sweet Dreams Till Sunbeams Find You, Sweet Dreams That Leave All Worries Behind You
Say nighty-night and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you’ll miss me
While I’m alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me
Dream A Little Dream Of Me - Louis Armstrong & Ella Fitzgerald
Me @ work @ Ruums
Most of the stuff I put up are:
- Ramblings
- Whiny stuff
- Complaints
- Emotionally inspired junk
- Et al
So yeah, here are pictures, just because I have nothing much to blog about. Well, except...
Hahaha. So nah, gambars.
Some football (sorta) action
Some shots taken on the roof of Sri Pentas
And a couple from Ruums today
So yeah, you might've noticed I'm doing a lot of people photos lately. I have no idea why, but yeah. I guess I find it... interesting. Mmmm.

Okay I've been busy and lazy this week. Busy with Dance, photography and whatnot, yet lazy to update. Well, to be honest, I'm not really lazy, more like, waiting for inspiration to hit. I've yet to come up with a meaningful post in a long while.
Most of the stuff I put up are:
- Ramblings
- Whiny stuff
- Complaints
- Emotionally inspired junk
- Et al
So anyway, inspiration hasn't hit me yet. Hell, it hasn't even reared it's face in recent times. Yeah it does give a hint of arriving when I'm with my camera, but never when I'm at my computer. It's like, teasing me, hovering just out of the line of sight, staying just at the tip of my tongue (in this case, fingertips), hanging at the back of my head, and what have you.
So yeah, here are pictures, just because I have nothing much to blog about. Well, except...
1 More Day! Wheeeeee!
Hahaha. So nah, gambars.

And I am dying inside to hold you
