School Season is officially Open!

Today is the start of the hectic school term. New subjects, understudying people, current workload, deadlines, my other portfolios, project submissions, bla bla bla...

IPPT tom, repairing dent on car, Toastmaster's workshop to conduct, Photostudy on sunday.
*sigh* so much things, with so little time to spare... but well, at least there's things to do, rather than sitting and letting the mind wonder aimlessly...


*Phew*... lets take a day at a time... Looking forward to Sunday... I'll definitely post my shots

"Watch This Space"

seeeeee yaaaaa.....

Hows your week? I got news that i'm moving on to another workplace. I'm no figures man, but i'm tasked to handle 'fooloose'. Takpelah, just take up the challenge. you never know your own limitation unless you try them out right?

But tonight, being the end of the week was a nice way to begin the weekend. I participated in a free photography hands-on tips, from Photography Network, conducted by Martin. The tips were fantastic. the comments were encouraging, and well, the results were magnificent.

Dont believe me? here are some shots.





Nice aint it? I'm tired man. but its a v satisfying trip.

Heres the outcome... My Sunrise Project

Didn't sleep a wink last night, waiting for morning to come cos am afraid to miss the opportune time.
Didn't also survey the various locations for a good background shoot. Arrived at Fullerton at 6.30, only to realise that the background i wanted was obstructed by the ever tall cranes building the IR thus 'killing' the shoot i've wanted. Worse, no carpark to be seen ard there.

So went to Marina South instead. found a good location, but then, the sun didn't turn up as expected. You know the round sun emerging from the horizon thingy. You know why? Because our horizon is always filled with docking ships, thus blocking the sun from 'emerging'.

Well all is not lost, tried taking whatever there is to be taken. ANd then proceeded to East Coast to continue when the sun was slightly seen.

here it is...

Here are sunrise shots i took in open seas... last year.




Till i write again, stay well all.

Loving Someone

let me touch about love...

Have you been in love?
Where you loved with all your heart?
Only for you to get heartbroken, but still cling onto it?
Have you been so crushed with loved but keep on loving?
When you gave all you got selflessly, only to be questioned of your motive and intentions?

I have.
I gave all of me, literally everything. You name it, i gave it up. But I still got thrown out like a piece of old junk thats not needed. And yes i was patient. Hoping that one day, people would change and start to realise the sacrifices and hoping it was sooner than later.

The old adage of Time heals all wounds, but scars remain, is true.
The feeling of love never fades, just stored, only to be taken out to be admired once in a while.
The wounds of past have all healed with kind words that are conveyed. But the scars that remain, serves as a reminder of the horid past that once was.

Who ever say that loving someone was easy? but for me, its all worth it.
I still do love that special someone, but...

Lets just let time do the talking, cos for now, its time for me to smell the roses.

The Sunrise Shot

Here i am again. wide awake at 4.30 am. Awaiting for the sun to rise. My project this time is to get pictures of a beautiful sunrise in S'pore. The sunset i got was in JB, so i kinda want to get something here without going over to M'sia. Oh ya, did i told you that i got the sunset I've been awaiting for? well, its not perfect but I'm sure I'm gonna get the big orange sun one day.

For those who thinks its easy taking photographs, let me tell you that it aint easy. What keeps me going is the beautiful outcome that I've captured. I love nature and there's a lot of factor that will determine that ONE shot. Of all the factors, the one most challenging factor is weather. And it it the one thing you cant control. even if it doesn't rain, the view of the object to be taken will either be blocked or not as beautiful as you pictured it to be. And it is not all a matter of timing. You can wait all day to capture that ONE shot, only to have all the planning spoilt by the weather...
So wish me luck later.

Here is the sunset i got the last time i went to Pontian... of cos there's more. just place two here for show only...

Alot had happened in my lifetime to mak me be sceptical.

Dont harass me
You can go to

Welcome me back!

sigh... its surely been a while since came in here. Not forgotten, just didn't see the need to. Its been an eventful 2007. Things happen and things unexpected happen.

Reason me starting to write again is mainly due to my super-duper-hyped-brain, whom refused to shutdown at this unearthly hour, particularly 2.30am, monday morning (working day). Must be the coffee earlier, or is it is because of some issues thats still left unsolved? Whatever it is, I'm really grateful that i have this space to pour out to. This is a world wide web anyway, so i shall be as discreet about things closest to me as possible.

I have never forgotten the past because the past made me what i am today. And as cliché as it sounds, life is indeed a journey. You meet new people, reacquainted with old ones, and of course, remembered the old faces.

School's fine.
Home's fine.
Work's fine.
well... life kinda isnt.

Deep inside i know something is missing. I have to be strong to overcome this feeling. I'm just a helpless being in need. But i'll manage for now. I know my own self to pick myself up, get distracted and carry on. If im not strong for me, then i'm not strong to help others.

What's for the new year?
Same old stuff that's happening. This time though i promised myself to finish a book. So, the dateline I've set for myself is before school begins, which i think is probably set at end of Jan. And the good thing is, I'm in my last Chapter! Yippie!
the book I'm currently reading is = Desperately Seeking Paradise = which is an interesting, eye opening, confusing at times, biographic journey of Sardar Ziauddin, on his quest for a modern Muslim society.

Heath!
I have failed my IPPT for this year. The one thing that i hate is the one thing that i failed. Running.
*sigh* now i've to train myself. First, I need to get back my endurance. Fit, i may seem to the eye, but weak, when you see me run... But rest assured, i'll pass. Trust me. I'll pass. I know what's in store for me when i pass, and besides, I'm a man of my word.

Photography
My love for photography is always there. Just couldn't find the inspiration to grab the camera and shoot. You gotta be in the mood *you know what i mean*. you got to want to take that shot. well... all hope is not lost. I got this shot during the new year fireworks. This trip is a disaster to me. Out of the gazillion shots, my friends Jabz salvaged this little pic.


To all those that have stood by me and encouraged me, I'll never forget your role in my life. Thank you.

Ok folks... till i cant sleep again. We'll catch up soon.
*I hope its not next year... hahaha*
