Music Talent Quest in Notts

[winner of the day-MBA and the groove. i climbed to a best position to take this photo and enjoyed the music.]

The second event i attended as an smc photographer. Although it wasn't as happening as mr.&miss nottingham, it was still an event that i wouldn't regret attending. Even though i have to drag my lethargic body back home, i would say it was worthy to stay till midnight.till the rain ceased.till the last performance ended.till the curtains drawn down.till the show has officially came to an end.

[ nottingham really has great sunset.]
[my best shoot before music talent quest starts.]
[probably one of my best shoots in nottingham campus.]

It was still too early to enter great hall, therefore we decided to become paparazzi of chiayin and siaohan and hunting for nice shoots around nottingham lake.

Going for a relaxing stroll along the lake is often not a bad idea after a day of lecture/lab session. And is definately not time-wasting.

about 7.30pm,yihchien and i entered great hall and the event was just about to start. UK campus practises malaysian culture too- it started off late by 30 minutes.

This was totally a successfull and lucky shoot! I have to pay attention to the music and predict when he's gonna jump. And, i got it! the moment i release my shutter, he jumped and i got it! sometimes, taking photos with only ur fingers and mind just aren't enough, use also ur ears.

[my best shoot in music talent quest.untouched.no photoshop.]

She sang quite well to me.A sweet and natural vocal,her songs were quite soothing as well.But the judges seemed doesn't like her too much because the song she performed doesn't required much skills.(that's what they said.) By the way,this photo was my best shoot for the whole event.tried sth new with my D60,decided to off my flash and depending only on the spotlight shone on her.adjusted aperture big big, lowest iso and pray that she doesnt move even a bit when i released shutter. yohoo! got it!

huh. this muscular guy plays guitar quite well.yihchien told me he practises weigh-lifting.wow. i noticed his well-built triseps and biseps muscles on both arms.

[time for judges to make comments.]

there're a few more solo singers and band performer groups.just that some of their musics didn't impress me a lot. I would say the climax of the event was when bus company--a band from klang, performed. they're not contestant, one of the bus company's member was a jugde of music talent quest. the atmostphere in great hall changed 180 degree when they performed and people who went off earlier really zhao bou. Before that,I have never like rock music, i dislike rock music to the utmost. But I swear, they performance is the best live rock music that i have ever heard till now. The crowd were totally gone uncontrolled, everyone jumped like mad, screamed until they have no sound and indulged in the music without noticing it has already passed midnight. This is what we called a quality perfomance.And i finally understand why people loves rock music.

anxiety

Received an forward email from mom.
Saying there is a prediction that there will be another tsunami disaster on 22nd july.Prediction says that country like
Malaysia (Sabah & Sarawak), Singapore, Maldives, Australia, Mauritius, Si Lanka, India, Indonesia, Philippines are going 2 be badly hit.. but all these predictions are yet to be confirmed.

By 22 July, i'm gonna be at sabah. Looking at the map shown, sabah is within the region that predicted to be strike terribly. People are advised to stay away from beaches. i'm afraid. and anxious. What if i'm at my adventure diving phase by that time? even not me, what if the venturers at adventure phase kena strike by tsunami?

Realized too many people lost their love ones during last disasterous tsumani. Plus, recently unfortunate doom and gloom happened to people around me. It just doesn't make me feel well. i wouldn't want all these happen on me.

-i'm still very young.
-i still wanna explore.
-i couldn't afford to lose any of my family member. and i think they cant lose me too.
-i still wanna stay with my friends.
-i haven't become a pharmacist.
-i haven't contribute enough.

photoshop

so happen to be in physpharm lab class,
so happen that nothing better to do than just sitting down,
so happen that "Malaysian Today" newpaper appears in front of me,
so happen that i browsed through the paper and stopped at an article titled PROCASTINATION.
so happen that ms evonne khoo was standing(with nth better to do) beside and correcting my pronunciation while i'm reading the article.

what a short and brief "lecture" on english pronunciation and hmm...i did learn sth new besides doing the tedious lung volume experiment for the whole day. - which i feel good.
i now still struggling on how to pronounce "tests","suggests" and "perfectionists". >_<"

back to procastination,
recently i'm addicted to photoshop. i could sacrifice my sleeping time and spend time to 2am just to edit a photo. and this requires lots and lots of my creativity cells....hope i still possess some.

[the twins]

[if you have known this girl, u will never see her have this kind of expression in real life]

[i personally love this photo most. killed lots of cells and time to produce this]

anyway, photoshopping might be one of the way i procastinate my homework but i disagree to the opinion that i'm wasting my time. i shouldn't spend 100% of my time on pharmacy studies, should spare some time to do favourite stuff too...be it needless or pointless.

*special thanks to singNing's 15min photoshop intensive session.

raleigh-ians' earth hour

earth hour. 0830pm to 0930pm.
well, it was a really successful publicity by wwf malaysia this year BUT did it successfully created awareness ?

people,why do u join earth hour?
a.it is a fun and cool event?
b.is it because u can buy a nice "60earth hour" t-shirt for only RM10?
c.you off lights because everyone off theirs?
d.you wanna do your part in making this earth a better world to live on?

off lights for an hour doesn't really contribute much in energy conserve. practice good habits daily and STOP tapau-ing,which my frens love to do.


in conjunction of earth hour, raleigh committee had our march comm meet IN DARK.

[summore, cannot take photos with flash.was using torch.]
[i realised i should get a papa gorilla tripod.]

[view from 08-04 apartment @ 0830pm and 0930pm]

halfway meeting, it's finally 0830 and we rushed to view the close light ceremony of kl tower and klcc. two buildings on the left--HILTON and MERIDIEN (marrydiennn, according to how kalai has pronounced)
off their lights too.

[things looks like that @0830pm-0930pm with kl tower and klcc missing]

by the end of earth hour, comm meet came to an end too. Next we proceed to petaling street for dinner. And wow, the food are really nice! i didn't know there's night life in petaling street until that day!

lastly, went klcc to take some photos with the polish backpackers before all returned.

[yohoo!! i've always wanted to take a photo of klcc at night,unfortunately this is not one of the best photo to me.]

[photo-ed by the polish]
