Step By Step

Story Of My Life
25 July 2009

Woke up 5.45 am in the morning on a Saturday.
For what? To study Physics. Smart huh? -__-"
There's a reason behind it...What is it?
So that I don't feel guilty later the in day
cause I'll be out for the whole day after lunch time.

So I boot the laptop, studied Electromagnetism.
Right Hand grip rule, Fleming's Left and Right Hand rule, bla bla bla...
At 6.45 am, I looked out of the window....
I'm starting to see light in the sky. =D

Unzipped my junior's camera bag and took out the camera.
Opened the door and went outside to the balcony to shoot the scenery.
Was using the cam like I use a sniper rifle in CoD 4.
Holding my breath everytime I try to take a shot. LOL

The shots I got wasn't that good in my opinion.
First time shooting the skies..still got lots of room for improvement.
This is the result. (Best shot selected)

After that, I make my way down to Taman Sri Nibong (TSN).
Which is about a kilometer or so away from my apartment.
Felt kinda awkward carrying a DSLR around this early in the morning.
First timer taking shots in public.... XD

At TSN, I walked around the field searching high and low for things to shoot.
Of course, having a DSLR in my hands stole some of the public's attention too :D
Finally,I came across this stretch of yellow flowered trees.
Not the flower that I'm interested in, but the bugs who were harvesting nectar.

Stood at one of the trees like 30 minutes..
Aiming up and down, left and right to capture the bugs.
Added to the poor lighting, shutter speed was slow, resulting in blurry pics.
By God's grace, it starts to get brighter later on and I'm able to snap the bugs.

After that, I went to the middle part of the field.
Looked around and started shooting at the objects that caught my interest.
Here are the piccas I took.

Pinky Pinky flowers


The "Daniel" of Paradise (5 Cekal inside joke) XD


A silhouette of the leaf. Looks like a inverted heart no?


Lamppost


This spike nearly puncture my kidney =/

After that, I started my journey home.
I passed this Hibiscus plant growing tall near the fence if someone's house.
Without hesitation, turned on the cam and shoot.

Hibiscus Rosa Sinensis

Returned to my apartment after that.
It's only 8.30 am so I decided to study a lil' more. @.@
At 9.15 am, brain overheats and boot my laptop once more.
SPIDERMAN - WEB OF SHADOWS!

*Climbs the Empire State Building and jumps down*
Woooooooooohhhhooooooooohooooooooowhheeeeeeeeee~
Doinks! I'm weird.

At 12 pm, Queensbay Mall! W00Ts!
Met up with Quah Jit at Coffee Bean and we went off to the YE Sales site.
Just went to look around at first. It was much smaller compared to last year.
Oh well, told all the salesman/girl that I will come back later.
Time for lunch! I'm hungry already!

Make our way down to the ground floor.
Old Town, skip, Manhattan Fish Market, skip.....
Continue walking to the south zone.

While we're walking,
I saw someone quite familiar from a distance. "Eh? Isn't that Felicia?"
I look at her, she looked at me. Passed each other, I look behind, she looked back.
Continue walking with the same question stuck in my head. "Eh? Isn't that Felicia?"
Don't dare to wave or whatoever cause I'm afraid I mistake somebody else for her.
Oh well, I'm sure it is her. LOL XD

Me and Quah then reached to the end of south zone.
Torn between Sushi King, Nandos, Pizza Hut or McD.
Both of us immediately kicked McD out of the list.
This is what happen when you study in a school next to McD.
In the end, we chose Nandos. FIRST TIMER HERE! LAUGH AT ME! =S

My date *coughs coughs* XP


Ais Limau Teh XD


I ordered 1/4 chicken....they serve me 1/2? (According to Quah)


And of course, this is the place I got this shot. :D

Saw Zachary and Zara at Nandos too! Coincidence much?
They're going somewhere later. Butterworth or Batu Feringgi...can't recall.
Well, we ate and paid the bill. (I paid for 1/4 chicken when I ate 1/2 a chicken) LOL

Quah need to get tickets for Harry Potter for Adrian and himself.
I need to get my 2 fav magazines too from the bookstore next to the cinema.
So we went up to the cinema. Quah did his shopping, I did mine. :D

Digital Camera July Issue


PC Gamer Malaysia July Issue

After that, we made our way to Borders to kill time
while waiting for Navnith to come.
1.15 pm and Nav is finally here. Finally!
Let's go get ourselves scammed!

"Let's go get ourselves scammed!"? What?
YE Sales lah....where you get your money cheated =]
Why I say so...cause last year, I made a simple bookmark.
Cost to make it is less than 40 cents...
We, PFS YE team of year 2008 sold it for 6 friggin' bucks! XDD
Pro money makers =P

So let's go see and get ourselves scammed! =D
Passed by all the other stalls and visit PFS' booth first.
This year they made Photo frame, Furballs (Keycahin), Cards, Multipurpose bag

No offense guys but to me, the only thing worth buying is the photo frame.
Cause from the one you put up for display, I can see you put effort into making it.
Quality control? 90% cause there were some glue spots on the one I bought...

RM 8...worth it. =]

The salesman

The Managing Director counting his profit

After getting "scammed" at the PFS booth,
we just make rounds and look around.
It was 2 pm when we finished ronda-ing and Nav decided to go for lunch.
I, on the other hand said my goodbyes and start my journey to church.
By foot....from Queensbay Mall to church. Woots! I'm mad!

South Zone to North Zone of Queens -> To the Roundabout
-> Cross the overhead bridge -> Turn Right -> Walk straight ->
Turn left -> Walk straight -> Turn Right -> Church
The summary of my walk. About 5 km no?

Reach church at 2.30 pm. Man, my timing is bad.
Should have left Queens at 2.30 pm then reach church at 3 pm like that.
How to kill an hour? *Arms self with the Nikon D80* =D

Here are just some of the shots I took.
For more, my Facebook profile. Link on the side of my blog. =]

All the above are taken outside of the church building..
Now...lets go in and have a look =D

The floral for the next day's Lord's Supper


The piano


Senget lah...No Tripod T.T

Realize the fans were not spinning from the pic above?
Gosh, I was sweating like mad. HOT~

YP started at 4.30 pm.
We're watching Fireproof.
And Popcorn is served! =D

My second time watching this movie.
Didn't cry like the first time, just wet eyes this time. LOL
Maybe it's because of ego, you know, watching in groups. XD

Was sitting behind Zoe.
During one of the last scenes of the movie,
I saw a tear flowing down Zoe's cheeks. Awww~ XD
Well, most of the girls have tears flowing out...guys? I don't know.

The movie ended at about 6 pm.
Arranged back the chairs, chit chat a lil' and we're off for Frisbee!
And Zoe borrowed the Nikon D80 to take some pics.
(Piccas from now on are taken by Zoe...more at my Facebook profile again LOL)

Justin and his signature smile =D




Cute =)


HashBees LOL


*Stretches arm* Ahhhhhhhhh~


Soooooooooooonic Boom!


The dudes


Zoe's feet. *pinches nose* =P

Oh the game of Frisbee was extremely fun...
forgot to mention, extremely hilarious as well. XD
My head was almost slice off by Frisbee.
Tabitha ah...tsk tsk tsk :P
Well, I too almost cause Tab and Ying Ying their life for throwing without signal.
Soooooooooooooorry (Tab's trademark) =P

We end the game at about 7.15 pm.
Rested for a while and tumpang Alan's car back home.
Woots! What a day! Filled with awesomeness! =D

Harvest

You got no idea how hard is it to capture these flying bugs
who are busy buzzing around collecting nectar.
I stood at that one tree for like 30 minutes trying to capture the bugs.
Nevertheless, my patience pays off. =D

By the way, here's a fun fact discovered this morning.
Ever wanted to shooed off the crows who are annoying the hell out of you?
Simple, take a DSLR, zoom in to lengthen the lens and point at them.
They will think its a gun and they fly away LOL
I shooed off like 7 crows this morning *giggles with self congratulation*

Be back with a more complete update after my test.
Till then...

You're The Light

Story Of My Life
18 July 2009

And so it was Thursday,
Went to school...all my friends ppk-ed me.
Why? Cause I ppk-ed them on Wednesday.
So I was at school with another 10-15 people.
Half the class didn't turned up. Bleah.

First lesson was Sejarah. *Doinks*
Donated 50% of my attention to teacher and
the other 50% I used them for Mr. Yeap's Add Maths.
Teacher was surprisingly in a good mood today...

"Class, today we study till 8.10 am then we go to the library"
I was surprised o.0 First time see Sejarah teacher so good mood. LOL
So at 8.10 am, the whole class migrated to the library.

At the library, I read the old Reader's Digest issues that I missed out.
Stopped reading after like 15 minutes and I took out my pencil and paper.
Since the peace and quiet I need to do art is available, might as well use it :D

Imagined , hums to the song that inspired me and I start drawing.
Here's the end product after 20 minutes of work.

Well above is just 50% of the whole idea
You'll probably be asking and say WTH is my idea anyway?
And what is this song that inspired me to draw this?
Hold on lah...for the other 50%, I need the Photoshop application.

Back at home, I snapped a photo of the drawing.
Wished I had a scanner =S
Load it up on Photoshop and did the miracles PS can do.
After all that, it turns out the way I imagined it and want it to be =D

You're The Light That Makes My Darkness Disappear

Jonas Brothers fanatics should know it right away when you read that
"You're The Light That Makes My Darkness Disappear"

For those who aren't fans of JB...like me,
The line is taken from Jonas Brothers' "When You Look Me In The Eyes".
Not a fan but I kinda like that song cause
it gave me loads of inspiration for my upcoming art works =D

YE sales coming up! Anyone going?
UP2 coming up! *Digs a shallow grave*
Till then...

Cold War

Story Of My Life
15 July 2009

When I speak my thoughts,
You said I'm rude for answering back what you're saying.

When I decide to keep my mouth shut,
You said it's like you're speaking to a dumb person and force me to speak out.

So what the hell you want me to do!?
Speak or not, I end up getting nagged.
My patience is running real thin when it comes to this.

Don't make me start the cold war we once had 3 years ago.

Spot Check

Story Of My Life
1 July 2009

WARNING- An Angry Post =]

Oi!! Got spot check!!
You bring any illegal items anot!?
Faster wei...go hide it somewhere!

If you realise, when we're juniors,
We react that way when there is a spot check going on.
Cold sweat, shaky legs, sweaty palms and prays hard all the time.

Well, that was when we're juniors.
Prefects were the role models. We're afraid of them, we respect them.
They enter, we kept quite, let them do their job and then they leave.
That was 4 years ago....Now? Lets take a look...

Here's what happen 4 hours ago in school....
So I was heading back to class after passing up my Physics PEKA.
On the way back, I saw a gang of prefects passing through the hall
and are on their way to one end of the school's corridor.

If you see something like this, only one thing will happen...SPOT CHECK!!!
Told the class about it and the innocents relax,
while some try to hide their illegal stuffs.
All of us waited for those "tyrants" to come in our seats.

As soon as the "tyrants" reached our class' door...
We cheered! "YAY! SPOT CHECK! WHOOOOHOOOO!" *clap hands*

We have "tiny tyrants" today doing the dirty job. *evil smirk*
So the usual procedure, one tyrant enters and inform the teacher.
After that the "tiny tyrant" shouted;

"Class! This is a spot check.
All stand up, empty your pockets, stand straight and no side talk!!"

We were all laughing while we do as the "tiny tyrant" ordered.
CH on the other hand was still talking away. LOL
He was telling the class "How useless spot check is" DOUBLE LOL
The best part is...he was talking so loud that everyone could hear. TRIPLE LOL

When the tyrants finally got the situation under control...
the "tiny tyrants" and a "b!tch tyrant" search high and low, in and out.

The "b!tch tyrant" was checking on my row.
5 stupid (I mean STUPID!) events happened.

Event 1:
A "tiny tyrant" was searching thorugh Z's bag and he took out his pencil case.
The whole class just start laughing their ass off. Why!?
Z's pencil case is PINK! ROFLMAO

The "tiny tyrants" commanded "Class! Stop laughing!"
We didn't give a damn bout it....we just kept on laughing our ass off LOL
Z was like "Woi...see lah you. Memalukan me" DOUBLE LOL.

Event 2:
PZY was at Keshav's place that time. (Kesh wasn't in class)
The b!tch checked Keshav's desk and found a penknife.
Terus PZY's name was jotted down although the penknife isn't his LOL

Event 3:
The b!tch continue to search PZY's table.
In PZY's pencil case, there was this glossy stone.
Before she confiscate it, she asked PZY what is it.
PZY just said I found it by the roadside and she changed her mind XD

Event 4:
Now my turn...
*B!tch searches through my pencil case*
She took out 2 of my Artline penliner (tip size 0.6 and 0.2) and my Staedtler Lumocolor.
*B!tch looks at it without checking the tip size and takes it away*

Double U Tee Eff!? *slaps head*
WTF was that for? I don't blame her for taking the Staedtler Lumocolor
cause its permanent, but my Artline penliner?
HELLLLLLLOOOOOOOO!? Tip size 0.2 and 0.6, b!tch!!
Is it so BIG that I can vandelize the school wall with it!?

Lumocolor, Artline 0.6 and Artline 0.2

The b!tch took my pens to another "tiny tyrant" to discuss about it.
Everyone was like WTF!? as well.

PS and CH was on my side.
They were saying "It's just an art pen lah"
Then CH just said something really good.
"Temporary prefects ask temperory prefects = No decision"

I guess the b!tch was pissed and just throw my pens
in the plastic bag filled with the other confiscated items. -__-"

Event 5:
As soon as the b!tch was done throwing my pen in the plastics bag..
She comes back for more...this time, my bag was her target.
*Digs digs digs digs digs digs* Found nothing at all.
She unpacked everything, including my stinky PJ clothes. =.=

She then targets my camera.
Points at my Ed Board badge and she have nothing to say. x)
FYI - I take photos during the prize giving session during Wednesday assemblies.

Then she targets my wallet...My USB was inside.
I told her it was Ed Board's and she leaves =]
Not satisfied, she told the "Big tyrant"about it.
So the "Big Tyrant" asked me if its really the Ed Board's.

Come on lah...like I'm gonna say it's mine and let you confiscate it.
So I said "Yes. It's the Ed Board's"....He leaves x)

"WITH GREAT POWERS COMES GREAT IRRESPONSIBILITY" *evil smirk*

PS was good enough to help me get my pens back from the "tyrants".
Thanks alot dude. I owe you one! =)

4 years ago...you guys were the tyrants...
Now...we are the tyrants.
You hit me...WE hit you!! x)

P/S - The junior prefects need more training in spot check-ing.
So please please organize more spot checks. I'm begging you BOP.
And please send that junior, Surain, the next time. kthxbye =)
