Face Problem

Face Problem

Not really a nice term to use for some other person, especially when you're going to a restaurant or mamak together with a friend, ordering the same food together with the same friend from the same waiter, and finding out that the waiter then comes back later with the same food you both ordered and ending up giving your friend the food first....

Then you would most likely ask... "Eh why your one come first wan?? Both of ours same mah"

And well... a very common answer would be "Face problem la" =.=

BUT either way...... what's currently wrong with my face?? =)

• Sunburn has gone, now comes the era where the face darkens and then the skin comes out
• Whiskers are growing very fast lately, have to shave once a day d
• Eyebags so big I'm scaring panda's
• Cheeks getting bigger till I can pinch and pull

Speaking of face problems... I've read that when Michael Jackson died his nose dropped off 0.0

now the world seems to be mourning all over his death, some people also committing suicide cause of this, and lots of other videos and pictures going all around the net saying that he is still alive, and he lives among us, there was a video saying they say the ghost of MJ, a picture in the clouds saying that the clouds formed an image of him... even people claiming that his death is a hoax and it's all fake... kinda similar to Elvis Presely I guess... but in the end, you see what you want to see =)

Not really the MJ fan, but you have to admit it's kinda weird how things go... before his death everyone was calling him a whacko and a maniac and all sorts of other bad things, but when he died people were crying over him like mad and then saying that he is a legend.. -_-" like while you're alive hate you like mad, once die only respect.... =.="""

Weird how the world works sometimes.... oh well~~

But life is still great in the end~~ though some arising problems are rising now... laptop's adapter is giving me some problems again, cham liao if this one also rosak ahhh meaning I've broke two adapters this term... no it's not a record setting thingy!!!

Term's coming to an end too~ rejoice!! XD

MUST go on a holiday!!

Still kinda early... hmmm shall go back to bed la =)

Words From A Guy Holding A Camera

It's been an interesting journey~

Starting off with a normal lomo camera when I was a child, moving on to a little digital camera, and now upgrading to a DSLR... hmmm... alot has changed 0.0

Been taking pictures for quite awhile now, but only felt like getting serious in it starting from last year, learning new stuff each time whenever I press the shutter button, and trying to make each picture count and to make it look good... of course it's never easy to make each picture look perfect, there's bound to eventually be a few pictures that decided to rebel and look ugly so you can be mad at them -_-"

And since my kitlens had problems, been having trouble taking wide angle shots, so now just resolving to use my 50mm lens now more often, which IS a good lens because of the sharpness and the details it can produce, only problem is that it can't go wide angle... but since I've got no other lens, maybe would be a good time to master it~ just stay away from group pictures -_-"

haha, and having a tight budget it's even harder to buy a new lens, lens in US is cheaper though... got a friend who's willing to help buy and import down for me, but still need the money first~
Alot has changed I guess.... beginning from the time of using a Canon EOS 300D...
to a current 50D~

And seeing how God has made it possible for me to learn new things by bringing new people into my life, bringing for me new photography opportunities~ and I'm glad they're all coming in at a manageable pace so I have time to go with studies and church and all ~ =)
Recently even had a chance to learn about portraits from models and stuff... which is an interesting learning process~
Even learning more and more about the manipulation of a picture using photoshop, I just simply click click click then became like this I also went...

"wahseh... how did I do that??"

But really... gotta thank God for how things go =)
Few weeks ago I've sent in this picture as an entry to a magazine, hoping to at least see my picture in a magazine, sadly it wasn't chosen~ but oh well, it's good, meaning I've still got more to learn and to get better and better each day~ shall try it again this month =)

People have been asking me why haven't I bought any new equipment yet?? And yes I do admit it's kinda sad having such a powerful camera as the 50D yet sticking to taking pictures with it using a kitlens while it should be used with an L lens~ haha but lens ain't cheap wei!!! Still saving money for it, and also looking through alot of lens to find out which lens is suitable, and which lens do I need, not want~ but... no rushing in it though... when I'm ready for it I'm sure it'll come naturally... a little sad though sometimes~ but!! Be patient!! XD

Planning on joining a competiton too, since I'm having the lack of money, and not being able to fund nicely for my photography equipment, I've thought... well why not give these competitons a try?? If I do win, yahoo~ free stuff... but if I lose, well not all hope is lost, but just take it as another new experience to learn in life to get better~~ either way it's still an interesting process in life, no one jumps to become a pro straight that's for sure =P

Haven't thought of charging people for taking pictures yet, but when the time is right... I'm sure I'll know when and how to do it~~ taking it slowly...

Either way... photography is really interesting~ seriously... it goes beyond the feeling of aiming the camera and pressing the button, no no no no no it goes beyond that~~ after getting into this area, I've finally been able to understand the phrase "A Picture Speaks A Thousand Words"

Hopefully as the years go by, I'd improve better and better, and hopefully letting God be able to use me in one of these areas to glorify Him, whether it be through a simple picture, or something else, hopefully He'd use me to accomplish His plan and be a blessing to others =)

Anyone wants me to take a picture of you?? =)

Sleepless?

I need more sleep...

This week has been crazy =)
I had 4 meetings in a day, morning afternoon evening dinnertime... woooiyoh.... sit till fed up d
Had to make lots of calls here and there for the E-Team preparation this weekend to Melaka, end up suddenly no credit... aiks -_-"
Wanna take pictures but... lens still got problem so can't really take much pictures lately, have to resolve to using my 50mm lens, which gives me a problem in zooming out... eek...
Because of the lack of sleep and lots of work to do... I've never seen myself before with such huge eye bags~ XD

But either way... throughout this busy week, I still praise the Lord for His strength, I thank Him for speaking to me through His servant, telling me what I needed to hear, that gave me the strength to move forward and to know that all this hard work is not in vain~ =)

In which also, was supposed to be leading worship in Melaka this Saturday, but they end up changing it so we would be assisting them in the new intake for the MMU students, taking them all around the tour in Melaka, morning till night, and if possible sharing our faith to them~~ and thus the night service would be canceled~ wooo~ but I think my team is more excited on the part where we would be more like going around on a vacation =P

Also had the chance to work around with a model's picture and also at the mean time learning more about portrait photo editing by accident~ shall be blogging about it when I'm done with all her pictures... too much 0.0!!

Either way... tomorrow's gonna be another day where would be having lots of meetings again... hmmmm oh well we'll see how things go~ just trying to save money, sleep early, live a healthy and happy life XD

Not sure why I am writing these things down... I guess just wanna keep blog updated and stuff~ hmmm =)

Oh well XD

The End of a Proud Race

It was a sad day...

Remember my An Ant's Life Pose?? Well few weeks ago I went back to see and found out that they have built more nest, they had around 4-5 nest altogether... wow~ then if you shook the nest a bit, then a whole bunch of them would run out of the nest, each one covering the whole nest and standing in a defense position... wow... that would've be a great picture to take, so I came back last week to wanna photograph them...
To my shock... they were all dead, those in the nest, those on the trees, they just lay there not moving, poke them a bit... oh my... they were dead 0.0

Must've been the pest control people came and spray the whole place end up killing all of them in the process.... Nooooooo....

Ahhh... there goes my opportunity for a beautiful picture..
It IS kinda sad though... seeing some of them holding on to one another even in death, some even trying to protect the nest, some hiding alone and dying alot.. hmm... it's not a pretty sight to see

After looking at them and feeling emo about it.... WAIT!! What's that!??!?!
There is still one ant alive??? 0.0

It went around, touching the dead ants... and ended up proceeding to the main nest..
And it went inside (left side of picture)

I tried to peek inside the nest, can't really see anything much... but I can feel that this little ant is trying to rebuild his community... hmmm

A New Hope Perhaps?? =)

Of course after going back I dropped my lens so its... arrrgh.... -_-"

Either way... the next day while I was wanting to go back my church after college, church member found this on his car... woah? 0.0
So much red ants still alive?? And wait!! See those little white things in the center?? Those are eggs just hatching 0.0
Ants gathering around and celebrating the birth of those little ants hatching out from the eggs.... hmmm wow.... seems to be a new start for them~ haha this kinda feels like a movie, but hey it's happening right in front of you!! =)

Maybe weeks later I'd be seeing the ants nest rebuilt and increased 500 times more~ that would be wonderful, but also scary if they bite me =.=

Red ants are interesting... but hopefully I don't end up become an ant photographer... scared they bite me =P
Either way... work hard red ants!! Will visit you all again soon =)

Lens Dilemma

Still feeling kinda sad cause of the damaged lens I have.... -_-"

Since last week when I've damaged my kit lens, it seemed to have turned me off photography for awhile... kinda depressed at the fact why I could've dropped it down the concrete stairs...

The damage??

Well after alot of testing out... the lens works perfectly, the zooming works as usual, just that the autofocus has problems, not that the motor is broken, nope the motor works fine, but when it's focusing half way it would jam, so must be something blocking the focusing part inside...

And the filter... well though it's smashed in the corner... it can still be used, so it's a good thing, and I suggest everyone, you MUST buy a filter, just slot on a cheap UV filter, rather be breaking a cheap rm50 or below filter than breaking a rm5000 lens~ if it wasn't for my filter I think the lens would've exploded like the picture on the top, sad thing, especially for an L lens... ouch!
If the lens smashed up... it might turn out like this I guess... NO this isn't my lens, can't really photograph anything now too =.=
And your pictures would turn out like this with a smashed glass... ouch... photoshop also hard to save you this time leh~

Friends suggested me to open up the lens and fix it myself... errrr.... have you actually seen what is inside a lens??
With so much parts, I don't even wanna get my hands near it... worse if I did something wrong somemore... it's too complicated to be touched by amatures~~

Shall bring it to YL camera sometime soon to repair... will ask how much it would cost first to fix this kitlens, if it's too expensive, forget it la...

I think... maybe it's time to change a lens??
Was considering the EF-S 17-85mm lens... since it's a normal focal length and has a stablizer and ultrasonic motor inside... problem is there's alot of complains on the distortion this lens gives on those pictures, at it's wide angle it gives sort of like a fisheye feel... some even said it gives some purplish colors to the pictures sometimes... very bad -_-

Besides.. it's a EF-S lens... so if I'm thinking of going full frame in the far off distant future... then there goes my money =P
Ahh the EF 17-40mm... kinda good range, especially when on a cropped sensor camera like mine... though would lose out some wide angle... but... hmm... donno~ feels kinda okay
And it's an L lens too, meaning the sharpness and picture quality is awesome cause it's one of Canon's top lens~ but... meaning it won't be cheap too.... wooo... =.=
Now this would be a dream come true~

The Canon EF 24-70mm lens~ one of Canon's most popular lens, favored by many because of it's awesome solid build quality so I think can roll down concrete stairs also okok, weather sealing so can bring it with me to the north pole and no problem~ big aperature meaning faster shutter speed, and nice bokeh when taking portraits, with USM also meaning super fast focusing speed... mmm wonderful lens~

But when you see the price it's already a huge turn off la... urrrgh... =(

But really... see how amazing a shot from that lens can produce...
Woorrrgh!! XD
this lens can only be a dream... so much for other L lens...

got quite alot of options, but in the end it all comes down to money, money, money... cause lens ain't cheap too that's for sure... did a calculation, if I'm gonna be getting a good lens to replace the kit lens, it's gonna take alot of saving, and that requires alot of discipline too in a matter of fact... means no crazy spending like I always do =P

cause of the money problem... another friend suggested me to start joining competitions... can win lens meh? 0.0 either way.. I feel my pictures are far from being competition winning material, still lots more and far off from winning those pros leh~~ even if got chance also hard to say if got sponsors anot -_-

Not sure, but would try sending a few pictures into the magazine and see how it turns out~ hmmm due date closing... darn~ =.=

Oh well... anyone wanna sponsor me?? XD

Transformers 2

What can I say about this movie???

Geng dou HEH!!!!

Which kinda means in cantonese that it's superb till you would express it by shouting HEH!!!


I used to be interested in Transformers, well the first movie made everyone go wild by screaming that it's an awesome and magnificent show, and how Megan Fox is a hot chick and stuff... but to me that show was good, but nothing spectacular...

After watching part two... my gosh... 0.0

You see a single 5minute fighting scene also can be blown away already... imagining how many months it would take to do the computer graphics to do it, maybe they might be using human movements recorded, then puting a cover over them to look like robots... but even so... so much work wei... one bash the robot parts fly out like that so detailed 0.0

As much as I would love to tell the story, many people whom have not watched it yet might scold me and bash me up... so I shall keep quiet, but really, go watch it~ not once, but as much as you can afford, go watch it more~ XD

BUT ahhh I cannot tahan one part so must reveal~!!! XD XD XD

Optimus Prime had an upgrade and it's major geng chao siao!!!
Woooiyoh..... in the movie you can't see much of it cause too much moving around, but seeing the parts in detail in this still picture is... wahseh wahlao wei...
Really la... super ultra good movie la~ I'm sure gonna be watching it again that's for sure!!! XD

I'd give it a 10/10!!!

The story is okay okay, but mainly you would be like "C'mon less talking more fighting!!"

But really la the fighting scenes blows you away... but too fast movement, my brain still absorbing it now.. haha... very good action, very good movie ~

Of course some people are still wondering about the Megan Fox issue of her being a man or a girl... seriously after watching this movie I have no idea... but overall.. I don't care anymore lar... ahhh.... guy or girl not my problem~ she's not my girlfriend XD
