gerisik kids

it's chinese new year again!

well, not too excited.not too looking forward.not too much expectation.
one of the happiest moment during my time in gerisik is having this photography trip around gerisik and having 6 models with me.

took this beside our house gate.i'm quite surprised to see lots of plants here!

arrived at 2pm.the weather was perfect to wander around and take some photos.all the way we chatted abt aboy's student exchanged trip to japan.

wandering...walking...and talking....then we found this house.the roof are broken.when i peeped inside there's nothing but i remember very well that i saw some clothes hanging outside.or maybe...there's two houses here.

2nd day.nothing much to do at home.we decided to go playground.i wanted to be inside the photo but i dun wan other people to hold my camera.

took this for sopobi. pura-pura emo.

accidentally took this shot.but i love it.one of the nicest photo of the day.


went to the muar river where our dads use to jump in and swim.but now look at the color,i dont even want my toe to touch the water.they had fun time looking for the tiny little mudskippers while dickson enjoyed his can of ice lemon tea without his mum's permission.
lastly, mum eats a lot during new year.

i'm a lefty

right handed people wont know how hard we tried to use the normal scissors to cut with our left hand.
in fact, it is not suitable at all.

we dirtied our hands and books when writing using mechanical pencils.
(which primary school teachers often scold us)

we dragged the ink when using ink pens.
(which secondary school teachers minus marks for cleanliness and tidiness for homework and projects)

we fight with others when using chopsticks in a round table. so most of the time we're forced to site at the side..

however, it's not too bad to be a southpaw...at least we are SPECIALLL.....
many researches have been done to investigate the relationship between handedness and health status, life span, income status, cognitive skills....
this is interesting...left handed website...i finally understand myself more..

barack obama is left-handed. prince william is also left-handed!
the famous lefties:



albert eistein is also a lefty.

for nothing

in the middle of working out my presentation poster
i did this:-

[to kill my boredom doing poster titled "is it positive or negative that medicine are available for purchase over the internet" ]


when my poster is 3/4 finishing
i did this:-

[couldn't find a high resolution pic online, so i decided to take my own photo of medicine]

when i finished my poster
i did this:-

[cook luncheon meat for dinner, one of my NA SAUs]
[although is very cheap compared to suin's NA SAU--grilled lamp chop...]

sarikei boy

[photo of a photo of sarikei boy]
i personally think this photo is special. and nothing special abt it.

[the vanishing earwax cleaning service]

[looks like stephen chow's movie scene]

[the abandon park]

ignore the reflection from the plastic frames, these are very high quality photos.very high megapixel too i guess.
[not sure whether i have the rights to post these in blog.dun care]

primary schoolmate gathering decided @ almost 2am thru msn

[made a big contrast with dark coloured shirt for CNY decoration]

sometimes we have to follow our feelings and instinct to make a decision.

accidentally met ryan in msn,accidentally knew he wanna meet yipeng.3 of us then decided to meet up on the day.

16Jan2008
2.00am: venue and time decided.
4.00pm: our meeting time.
4.01pm: ryan arrived.
4.05pm: yipeng called said will arrive in 15 minutes.
4.08pm: me arrived.
4.39pm: yipeng baru appear.><"

well..i came back straight frm nottingham.having only rm18 in pocket.(cilaka ktm touch 'n' go wasted me rm10 to reload lrt card and missed ktm)

then decided to go starbucks. spent rm15.25 on grande java chip.-hengrui's recommendation. now,only rm2.75 in pocket and sitting in starbucks.

minum-ed and chatted. really nice to recall back all the stupid things we did together b4.how naive we are when we're young.i'm still young.

things we "discussed" :
-games we played.
-places we went.
-silly classmates.
-the salted mango and fatmou gardenia bread in science class.
-memorable moments and nicknames and rumours.
-black out at hotel during class trip when someone poured milo powder in a electrical kettle.
-yipeng's lousy school after she left chong hwa.

[after gathering, we still blame the arm]

[while suddenly realized we havent take picture]

[never seen ppl as ganas as this one.dunno how many packets of pepper]

[chicken burger 'transformed' to pepper burger]

[the burger owner]

lots of old memories and laughters.

i cherish the moment we spent time together.Is really good to still keep in touch with primary school playmates.

me @ youth'09

participated in a photography contest during youth'09 event last weekend. The competition is played as a knockout game---only winners of the rounds get chance to participate in the second round.

each participant is given 30 minutes to shoot 10 photos relevant to the theme set by organiser shutterasia. Among 10 photos,choose 5 best photos to compete with his/her rival.

at first,i dont think my skill and creativity is good enough to join the game until the end.
But surprisingly, i'm better than what i thought myself to be and i went until the semi-final round and be 1 of the 8 ppl who stayed up for the competition. Luckily they judged more on creativity and relevance than skill, if not i think i would have been "ting" off in round 1.

i still think that it was my luck to be able to stay in the contest after i joined for 3 rounds.Until i beat 2 of my rivals to become the winner of round 4 in my group. Then i lost in round 5. One more win to bring back home a camera as prize!!!(i must always mention this)

round 1 theme 1 :red
round 2 theme 2 :action
round 3 theme 3 :taste
round 4 theme 4 :friends
round 5 theme 5 :surprise

prizes:-
first place : nikon D40x worth rm2000++,if i get it sell it then no need to fundraise so hard lorr.
second place : nikon cool pix camera worth rm1000++
third place : nikon cool pix camera worth rm700++
fourth place : nikon cool pix camera worth rm389

see my photos.Only the nice ones.

[BMW to win @ youth '09]

[grafitti. i suppose is an eye]

[this shoot inspired me to take sports photo]

[proud of this shoot]

[nicest photo of the day.i think]

[i took the photo but din buy the cake.]

[while ppl shooting chicken burger.i took this]

Although i din manage to carry the camera home
--which i will sell it to fundraise for expedition fees,
i definately learned sth thoughout the whole competition.
1. my first approach to strangers and require them to pose for me. and follow the pose i taught them.
2. photography needs to use brain a lot. Creativity.
3. photography can train muscle...--i walked a lot to search for good shoots.until leg muscle pain on the following day.
4. purpose of taking photo.not just to make it leng leng.


last but not least, raleigh KL was at youth '09 too.helped out,had fun and took some pictures there.
