KLPF - Kuala Lumpur Perversion Festival

Hmmm it's back again.....




KLPF... which actually stands for Kuala Lumpur Photography Festival... used to be one of the most respected festivals that I would go to, especially when I've started out holding a camera and taking picture... because... well, just see and learn from different individuals, see if got cheaper prices on some camera stuff anot, and just... hmm... don't know... go and see la~

But this year... I think it's getting more worse already... I couldn't go on Friday and Saturday because of the E-Team I had to go, then just went after the service on Sunday to check it out... and once got there, wahlao need to register to go inside wan ahh??? It used to be free you know?? But at least I didn't have to pay for it compared to the Toy Fair (MITF), just needed to write your name, email address, phone number.... but I really hope they wouldn't contact me, I've got more than enough spam mail already in my inbox...

When I went inside, it was the usual thing of the model on stage surrounded by guys (no girls) and all the camera flash going here shooting there... couldn't care less so walked on, suddenly there was this couple in front of me... looks like in the age of 17-18 and they were french kissing in front of me... I was literally... "wah" but didn't bring my camera along if not I would've captured the beauty of it~~ now Malaysians not afraid to kiss in public d... wonder what's next~~

Well... checked the accessories and lens.... ah oh so beautiful but oh my so expensive -_-"

I guess the reason why you don't see much young people with pro camera lens is because of the finance problem, and those that have it, have rich parents or are uncles buying it with their retirement funds... sigh... why la so expensive, can literally buy a 2nd hand car already =(
Oh ya!! did you all remember the uncle from my DCIM 2010 post???

Yeah the one that was promoting the Photographic Society of Petaling Jaya... this time they had a booth right there, and he was proudly standing beside there with his camera and looking up at the ceiling.... they wanted to pass me a piece of paper but I sincerely declined...
Don't want them to end up teaching me how to take shots like these -_-"
but either way.... all's not a total lost.... there are some shops that are good, and there too are some wonderful spots like this wall with pictures on it, honestly I've learned a lot from it~ =)

I especially love those travel pictures, wish I could do that someday... yes... someday =(

Ahhhhh overall..... these kinda events are kinda degrading already la when they use girls to stand and pose where they are surrounded by guys taking pictures of them... if you open your ears to hear you could even hear guys saying

"eh that girl next!!!" =.=

Kinda reminds me of that time when they had PC Fair 2010 and 99.99% of the pictures that came back consists of girls...

Then again... I guess it does remind me that holding a DSLR helps you to meet girls easier??? There too was a guy at the event, took a picture of the girl, then walked up to her and showed her the picture he took of her... then she nodded and spoke, couldn't hear cause too far.... then he ended up giving her his contacts and asking for her number that he can send the picture to her.... honestly.... I think she couldn't even care less...because siting in the same place for the whole day and being photographed by thousands of guys... I don't think she could even care much less already -_-"

Ahhh well... either way Malaysian events are highly changing.... don't know la, ahh well just don't care much about it bah~~ =)

Advice

Advices, it comes from everywhere, but how many of us actually listen to it???




I guess one problem about living in a society such as this is that now because people are becoming smarter and smarter, we're beginning to think that what we are doing is right and that there is no wrong to our actions....

And I guess it makes us stubborn too in someways because of our knowledge that we forget wisdom in living...

But then again.... I guess it's all about being young and foolish plus stupid at the same time?? That as we begin to grow older we begin to see life differently, then to look back and to think "wahseh I so stupid wan ah then??"

hoho... but sometimes there are shortcuts to gaining wisdom rather than waiting till you grow old... it's about listening to the advice of one another, when someone tells you something, don't throw it all out instantly, but keep 50% of it and think about it, who knows?? What they say might be true, and if you take it in, you could slowly change to become a better person...

Of course there is always another bunch to say that they are stupid and they do not understand you, and they should accept you as who you are... blah blah and so forth.... to me that's just being stubborn I guess...... sure we can have some disagreements in life, but not to a point where we go bitter~~

Been receiving quite a number of advices upon my life these few days by friends, and I guess it's also something to help me to change to be better... will it be easy?? Of course not =)

But it's all about trying to become a better person and to improve more and more each day~~~~ whew~~ but I am thankful for those who dared to speak into my life, to help me to learn from my mistakes and to learn to grow in wisdom before I grow old and regret later.....

Speaking of improving... just went to hang my clothes and I snapped two cloth hangers.... I must be getting stronger =)

The Grass is Always Greener on The Other Side

I'm sure we all have heard of a quote like this before =p



The grass is always greener on the other side.... of course it's just a saying, because it could mean many more things, like maybe life would be better in another country, maybe I could get a better work in another company, maybe I could find other better friends if I look harder... etc...

there's many ways one would describe this sentence.... but in my case, grass color!! Seriously la.... some might have a word of defense saying that it's just a saying, the grass isn't greener on the other side, what you have now, be happy with it, and where you are now is already green grass... so be happy with it....

sure that COULD also work.... and I thought that I was just expecting life to be better in another country... till I saw my friend's picture album
mooo??

And instantly I thought to myself..... that what they said about the grass not being greener on the other side.... they are stupid... must be giving excuses because they don't dare see what's on the other side...

Oi.... see the grass leh... so beautiful... but what caught my attention more was the cow....
I mean.... look at it wei, looks so.... lovely, huggable, tasty.... and most of all... HEALTHY!!!!

then that brings me back to memory lane when I looked back at the cows in Malaysia...
*SIGH*

grass also too sad case to eat, so badly treated till it has to even drink water from a puddle.... give me also I don't wanna eat it -_-"

the grass is greener.... is it true?? Well I guess in the Malaysia context... alot of things overseas beat us huh?? Grass, cows, animals, internet speed, technology, etc.... now I feel third world -_-"

I think those who made that quote has not need to Malaysia before =)

Then again.... ahh don't care anymore la -_-"

I wanna go Japan -_-"

Found an Old Post

Since there was the adding of those "You Might Also Like" posts coming on the bottom of my every post.... I can finally view back some of my old blog post.... here's a picture of me at April 2009.... haha oh the memories, with the puffy hair after enjoying a car ride with the window down~~ =)

Memories.... never delete them, whether they are in a picture form, or in a blog post form... you could look back on them one day, and laugh again about it~~ =)

How Am I in the Classroom???

What chart best describes you???



when I saw this pie chart... I couldn't help but laugh to agree on how much it works for me... but it really isn't something to brag about though.... O.O

Can be quite embarrassing if you were to think about it in some ways =p

But yeah.... there are many types of people in this world, when I went to a psychological counseling course (yes I can counsel I think) they taught us of the four groups of people in classroom learning style, mine of course... is the type that learns through seeing with my eyes....

now I can understand why I learn so much more when watching weird crappy videos and how I can memorize lines of what people say in movies and such..... but never could remember from books (only if they interest me)

so I guess it's a reason why I find such troubles in class focusing, especially when it's all about talking and listening... urrgh....

BUT.... that shouldn't be an excuse to be lazy and slack in class, though it's you're weakness, but you still have to make an effort to learn and study hard.... and yes this is coming from the guy who never studies for his exam and still passes XD

Either way... work hard in life~~ at least make it beneficial and happy to not only yourself but others too~~ whew =)

Erm.... true??

you know... I can't help but nodding to agree with how right this is sometimes for each and every one of us, especially in the areas of relationships, when a right guy or girl is in front of us, we don't really see it, and in the end we rely on our eyes more than the heart to date =p

Just a random thought to think about it.... how true is it??? XD

Of course not girls only la... guys also got wan... =)

It's Weekend!

It's finally... Weekend



Had a rather siao week, too much things to do, and the crash course from 7pm-10:30pm is surely taking up lots of my time too every night for the next three weeks... especially with assignments, and the rest which I do not want to talk about....

I've made up my mind.... when this term is over I'm going on a holiday myself, do things myself, enjoy things myself, just give time for myself~~ been living over for people too much, I need a break, like seriously...

Thinking of planning a trip to somewhere.... maybe penang sounds good~ =)

You know now I really feel like going somewhere... -_-"

Maybe I'll go out to take pictures of something later~~

Sleep...

Never felt so sleep deprived......



So ends my so called mid-term holiday... and in which I have never before felt a greater lack of sleep than in any other time of my life span as a human...

usually in holidays we could rest more but I felt like dying more.... at the silent retreat I thought I could rest but was attacked by mosquito's till the late night of 3am... and that happened for both nights at the camp, then when came back had an early morning meeting to attend to, then work and such.... so called... ahh... I needed sleep...

Managed to catch up on a bit of sleep... but naturally woke up early this morning.... hm sigh.....

maybe shall take a nap later before I die.... got class tonight some more...

Yawn....

Secret Admirers - Nothing Beats China

Ever had secret admirers before???



I won't be talking about my love life nor my admiring life, hoho we all do have secret admirers whether you're pretty or ugly, fat or skinny... doesn't quite matter because in the end we all would surely have someone to admire us... you might think "impossible larrr..." that's cause you don't know....



as in seriously... if not they wouldn't call it "secret" admirer right...???



Other than that, been on my usual online routine to read on the weirdness of the world... people read about the world through the newspaper, about all the crime rates and political stuff... well I read on the interesting stories of many individuals that we can learn from =)



here's one that captured my attention =p



*AHEM*

Today's story shall be about Mrs. Zhang Meng Qian



Young Zhang Mengqian, a university student from China, got more than she bargained for when her “boyfriend-wanted” card caused a stir among her male colleagues.

On March 8, to celebrate Women’s Day, the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, in Chengdu, gave every girl student a bland piece of paper, and asked each of them to put down their wish and post it on a wishing wall.



Here’s what freshman Zhang Mengqian wrote on her card:

“My name is Zhang Mengqian, a grade one student, and I think I am attractive, but strangely I can’t find a boyfriend. However I believe in destiny. If you have the same wish, please come under my dormitory building and shout for my name in between 12:30 to 12:50 on March 11th, and I will observe you secretly up on the building. If you’re my type, I’ll come down to meet you.”Combine that with a ratio of male and female students of 25:1, and yo have a real horn-fest on your hands.



Is she desperate?? don't know... but here's the good part!!!! XD

Zhang Mengqian message became so popular that on noon of March 11, over 2,000 male students gathered in front of her dorm building. Not all of them were brave enough to shout out her name, though, but that’s maybe because none of those who did had any luck.

So i hope you learned your lesson Zhang Mengqian, NEVER ask for a boyfrind in a country with over one billion inhabitants. That’s a big “no-no”!

But yeah.. she's not that bad looking though... hoho....



Then again.... ahhh hahah don't know la, but we've all learned an important lesson, sort of like the same thing when we make a Facebook status update asking for a boyfriend/girlfriend and we get all sorts of weird comments...



Joys in the world =)

Silent Retreat.. oh man...

Just back from a Silent Retreat yesterday....



Ahhh a silent retreat, what might it be about you ask??? Not too sure how to explain everything in details though... but it's one of those serious cases where we're trained in the olden traditional Methodist training style of just... erm... be quiet~

yeap... in another way of putting it would be, to not talk for the next 3days and 2nights, you cannot interact with anyone there, you cannot talk to anyone, you cannot have any gadgets to communicate with the outside world...

Sort of like the life of a monk if you've read my previous post~~ but the worse part was we couldn't even do sign languages nor pass notes to one another, just to be anti-social for the whole 3days 2nights... of course for most people they would already go crazy... I too would be one of them~~

But thank goodness I'm already quite familiar with this keeping quiet thing, so I didn't go berserk....
But... Enjoy The Silence.... was what lecturer kept on telling us... how to enjoy????
But yeah these were those that went to the camp~~ normal group size, if it was a number of 100+ I think we'd all go crazy already...

quite the struggle, you try to not talk with anyone for so long?? Then especially at meal times when you are faced with one another and cannot talk...
What can I say.... the silence can drive people crazy sometimes....

But either way, just a draft only la, next time only write on the full story about the camp... ah whew whew....

Silent Retreat

Will be going there tomorrow.....



Not exactly the real Silent hill la.... cause if I were to see such a signboard I'll turn and run other than going into it... siao...

But either way, currently taking a course called Spiritual Formation.... and in which one part of the course requires us to go for a 3day 2night camp up in Fraiser's Hill... which isn't too bad cause of the cool air and stuff... But I guess the thing that sucked was when they announced that it was going to be a:

"Silent Retreat"

"!@#$%^&*"

What might it mean?? No it's not retreating from enemy territory silently... but rather it's a time where we aren't supposed to talk, where we aren't supposed to interact with friends even if we bump into each other, where we are cut off from the world, I hope she isn't going to confiscate my phone or something..... but I think she might.... and she could if she would.....

Either way... we're supposed to be like this for the whole camp...

Imagine.... 3 days without talking.....I think can go crazy lo....

It's sort of like living the life of a monk...... oh man....
Monk....
I don't wanna be like him....... noooo.... nooooo..... noooooooooooo........

Urrrgh... BUT either way, they say in the moment of silence is where you can hear God, and that sleeping too is possible too... so I'll just lock myself in the room and sleep, and of course since it's silent nobody can wake me up ~~

Sigh.... think it as a moment to really.... honestly relax and run away from all my current duties, I really do need it at the moment though.. then again, maybe can gain something out all all the silentness??? Not sure... don't know....

But either way... yeah well decided to not bring laptop along, leave most of the things back here, and... hmm.... maybe can feel God closer I think...

Oh well just hope for the best, at least it's just 3days and not 3months or 3 years... if not I'd forget totally how to speak anymore.... sigh...

See you all when I'm back~~

New Look

Thanks to Jaryl, my blog now has a new look and a new template, because somehow the old blog just felt a little... depressing because of the black color, when I look at it I also feel the slight tilt to become emo.... woo.... either way, it's 90% finished, all it needs now is a blog headed... which is always the problem... sigh... see if I can get something up by tomorrow la~~

But thanks again Jarly, the blog looks great =)
