What's worst is,

and I gotta pay for my repair and other expenses..
Well, wht to do? I dun wanna get beat up ma, so, give in lor.

If not, who give me money survive?
no work=no money...
So, work lor.

Rocky road should be ending soon

These 2 weeks has been rocky for me,
Not enough to eat,
No more luxury,
No more Ah Huat,
No more home.

Found a job,
Lost a job,
found another again,
But have to work till 3am,
tiring but no choice.

It's not really that cool working in the night life,
meeting different people,
Experience a total different experience,
What to do?
Need money ma.

Finally a place comfortable to stay,
but just with the basic needs,
till I get enough money to survive.

first 3 months will still be rocky,
As I'm still in heavy debts,
Then, it should be fine.

Another thing is, I saw my result last sem,
It was great,
In deans now.
however,
my sem is gonna be dragging 2 more sems,
first. cz of some reason,
2nd, I dun have the money nor time to study,
so, it's best to hold on my studies and work first.

Survival comes first,
Education can wait.

Let's just hope,
Work doesn't affect my studies.

It's really sad that i tried turning back but failed,
Now, things cant be changed anymore.
no more turning back.

Life now is very simple for me,
Work, sleep, see my dear, sleep, work , work, work, sleep....

When I go back college,
it'll be, work, work, study, sleep, dear, work work work...pengsan.

till now,
Signing off..ngek ngek..
Love you dear.

English presentation,




Also my wisdom tooth has been bothering me for years,
finally took the courage to check it out.
and realized that the cost of surgically removing it kills pocket.
Anyway, I did not have the choice as it was an impacted tooth.

As u can see, it grew side ways,
and according to Dr.Goh,
It's a serious one,
so, they recommend me to go to the hospital to remove it.
Thx god,
Another Dental Surgeon, Dr. Ang. is willing to do it for me.


The whole process was killing,
not the pain,
but the fear,
the sound,
the tools.

Thx for Julie and Chiew Ying for skipping class and accompany me to get my teeth extract.
Thx Dr. Ang too, She's really pro, I'll go back to her for any of my problem in the future...choi..

Last Battle

This sem was possibly, the toughest sem of my college life,
Sem filled with uncertainty,
Sem I met lotsa friends,
Sem I played to the fullest.

I'm kinda relieved that I managed to juggle with time finally,
still keeping what I always believe,
Play more than study, but ensure more than enough for studies.

Tomorrow's gonna be my last paper,
Last paper syndrome?
Thx to Raaga,
I did my part earlier, so now, I dun have to give a damn even I have no mood to study since Ive covered what I needed earlier.

Finally after the whole sem,
Im able to continue my passion for photography,
the reason why I live,
I just hate how I can forget how to operate a camera now..ish..
This time going deep down into the miracles of colors and lighting.

ermm...dunno d...
Next post shud be super long...
Gonna be everything since the sem starts...hehe

Oh yea, Im a fucking blonde!!!!

What?

What?
I left my blog to rot for the past 1-2-3-4-5-!@#$%^&*()#$%^& months..

At first I told Jessica I wanted to borrow her Eclipse, twilight.
The I thought, maybe I wont have the time,
I was right,
this sem aint tht tough,
but more effort and time needed to be spent in it.

From rushing assignment to mid term, then assignment again..
It was hectic,
Today is prom, my last one in the college, gonna grad soon...woohoo...

After today I have 3 weeks b4 my finals.
Gonna have to plan well,
peer pressure is killing, but those not in our peer are killing us even faster,
So, me & Xher planned to be a nerd to compete in the circle.

hmm,
oh yea, I have a rabbit leh..
His name's Ah Huat.
He is super kuailan.

Hi, Im Ah Boon.
Im the oldest hamster in the family.
My fav is cheese.

I used to have long long and thick fur until I aged...LOL
I live in the biggest house among other hamsters. 4-5 times bigger..LOL


2/365 Ah Boon

I sleep all day long and make a lot of noise at night.
I used to sleep on the keyboard and on the table.

This is me, eating my fav cheese.

Some random stuff

Just now I suddenly thought of another whole new way of shooting portraits and perfume bottles.
Finally thought of the way to take single light source.


Illusion

So, this is simple,
I switch off my lights,
turn my shutter to 15 seconds.
I start using my flash to flash externally for few times, depends on how many face to appear.
then voila,
u get this.

Can't take my hands off it.

I've been shooting for around 1 year plus,
One thing that always gets my attention is shooting smoke.
I've been shooting smoke since I have my first compact, then my semi-pro, now with my DSLR.

I've finally thought of this way of shooting, which successful rate is around 15-20%.
I remember how many hours I use to spend to get it right,
Like out of 1000 shots, I get 5-7 shots successfully,
it'll be either out of focus, wrong lighting, wrong wind direction and so on.

Jz now I did a draft shot for this,
and realised, I really need to do this at night and outdoor,
So that, barriers can be minimized.





_DSC6987 cdcopsssyddd

Basically this is what I do,

Set up yr incense, tripod.
Put yr focusing to manual,
get yr settings, make sure everything will be exactly black.
Yr shutter shud at least be 1 second, so that you have enuf time to work.

When u click, u shud use yr flash, to flash from under.
*Flash used externally*
If u wan the smoke to be double, flash twice.

The tips here is, do it outdoor,
or else, you'll include a lot of unwanted stuff in yr shot, like the above,
cz the flash might give lights to other subjects.

Outdoor gives more advantage,
like, u can turn yr shutter on to almost as long as you wan,
you wont get unwanted lights into yr shot,
you'll spend vr vr little effort on settings.

Also, for the color of smoke,
there're 3 ways.
White balance,
Color gel, or colored paper to reflect color into the smoke.
or, Photoshop...LOL...Use HSL la...

Will try soon to do the outdoor,
started new semester d, tired.

KK,
signing off to rot..so that tmr have energy to study...LOL

*ps.note in the shot got some greayiish stuff at the back...
that's Ah Boon's house.. the light manage to got thr.

1/365 Hi, Im Ah Gu

So, this will be my first project of project 365.

1/365 Hi, I am Ah Gu!


Hi, I'm Ah Gu. I'm the 4th hamster, I always got bully by my little brother, Ah Boy.
I'm a semi-albino Teddy bear hamster. My favourite food is Durian and cheese.

Project 365

Since Ive neglected my wife for such a long time,
I shall now start the project 365.

Project 365 is a famous kinda thing in Flickr.com
Especially the mat sallehs and Taiwanese.

Project 365 is like shooting the same subject over and over again everyday, for 365 days.
Normally would be self-portrait.

Though I am KSS,
I still think I would wanna camwhore that much anymore.

Shall make it a Hamster 365 project.
And the subject would be my 5 damn fucking cute hamsters!

So, stay tune,
Will start my project very very soon.

My fav dish

This is what I have been doing for the past 2 weeks...
everyday cook spaghetti...

Normally we would buy Preggo or Leggo or whatever spaghetti sauce,
But If u would be cooking it everyday,
it's gonna cost u a bomb..

So, the basic stuff for spaghetti is,
Tomato sauce, oregano, garlic, onions, meat..
That's all.

Oregano comes in bottle, around RM8, like pepper bottle,
I've been using for a year, still got 3 quarter left.

As for the other ingredients, you can put whatever you like.
Normally, people use minced meat..
But I lazy buy ler..



DSC_6822 copy

My ingredient is tomato sauce, oregano,basil, pasley
Sausage, chicken meat, Abalone Mushroom, Tomato, Onion, Garlic.
I good at cutting hor?LOL...

My personal fav is the abalone mushroom,
cost around RM1 for a whole big pack.




DSC_6824 copy
You then fry everything it the pan,
then pour in water, tomato sauce(depends on how much u wan la, not enuf can add in later)
Oregano, put till u think it smells like spaghetti.
Boil the whole thing for around 20 minutes,(to ensure ingredient is cook)*Some ppl prefer it less cook, then u can cook around 10 minutes lor.*I personally likes it less cook..nicer de..
then add cheese, cook for 2 minutes.. slwoly add ler, add until u suka...
Voila..




DSC_6823 copy

Dun tell me u dunno how to cook spaghetti???
ok, follow the instruction on the pack lor..
Mine's 8 minutes,
then I add olive oil to it...dunno why leh...nice kua..
