Saje nak post blog ni….nak cite dan nak kongsi… buat orang cam aku…ada masa aku ter’hilang’ barang yg penting…so… ni cite aku…

First of all … kisah kehilangan ‘body cap’ DSLR aku…ni kisah dalam bulan ni le… aku diberi tugasan untuk shoot previous project for the company i work for…3 years sudah…Aku kena pe gi shoot gambar projek di Tasek Gelugor … i did my best job though… dahla kena trn dari penang…nek moto…round serata Seberang Perai Utara(SPU) ada 3  projek…penat ooo…kepala lutut pn dah longgar… ada waktu aku nak park moto…skali jatuh daa…dahla baru ja assemble kamera aku…body cap dan lens cap ada aku letak dalam raga moto … jatuh dalam rumput tebal…haiyoooo …sejam gak aku dok cari…haaaalaa ilang  plak….memula aku dah cuak…tapi sebab gambo sekeping pn tak snap lagi…aku pn mula aaa menembak dgn ati yg sayu…

cite kedua…my ‘diffuser’ plak tercicir…yg ni sebab aku dok kalut2 nak shoot wedding…skali waktu tarik kain nak lap peluh jantan aku…yela aku kan jantan= lelaki tulen…time tu aku agakle…jatuh diffuser aku dalam bekas yg aku selit di pinggang…dahla area tu tanah merah/yg warna pn dah cerah…tengahari rembang aku berjalan mundar-mandir ke hulu ke hilir cari menda alah tu… hadoila… aku ni tak lari dari musibah sungguh…aku siap p solat kat masjid doa jumpa…susah2 baru cari balik jalan benar…iskh iskh…aku redha le atas kehilangan tu… sayu gak ati aku…nak shoot pn dah hilang mood…

dan semalam…aku hampir hilang my precious travel journal and my bag la… sebab cam besa le aku ni…CUAI … makan kat penang island … seronot2 makan, lupa plak bag kat kaki…otw sampai seberang..singgah solat…aku mencari bag aku tu yg dalamnya ada kopiah aku…pastu seb baik aku teringat balik…so apa lagi …skali lagi cross jambatan nak pegi check balik nun di jalan nak ke batu maung…haiyyoo…sebbaik abang jaga gerai tu simpan kan…so nak amik ati dia…aku beli la air 2 bungkus…utk aku dan si along….by the way…sebab sronot sgt dok mengata kat orang…dan aku ni bukan slalu dapat lepak dan dgr pendapat yg sama…so…dah sembang2 tu yg terlupa tu….

After a gruelling after a night full mode wake up…I’ve received a wake up call … “Ni bila nak balik rumah.. ni?” walah weiii… I forgot to tell the people at home lah.. haiyyaa..the henpon batteries really at the ‘nazak‘ state…how would I be thinking right at that minutes … no charger…guys I’m using Nokia …N series halamak … no charger in site?…most of them using Sony Ericsson n Motorola…ermm can I and my gadgets stay fit and healthy for another 7-8 hours??? my DSLR batteries…just gone out while we were waiting for the sun to rise … nah…not really … it just ran out when we were capturing the light trail… so I did borrowed Saupix batteries … so nice when you have a friend that like to help out…so …after the sunrise…we all went back to Stador house … I actually realize that Diana just missing from the scene … so she went home … hahaha … didn’t notice though… me … I need one clean bath and a nice hot cup of “Teh Tarik gelas besar … In Penang we call it Teh Tarik Komtar” why? … Please come to Penang and call me … hihihi how? … just know me first la… I don’t talk to stranger … that’s what my mom used to tell me … so as she said … no stranger going to be entertain by me, unless know me first la …I’m gentle and friendly … hua hua hua, eh …see Off Topic again …. “balik ke pangkal jalan”

After a nice hot bath … no la…just kidding…after a nice clean up bath … we all set for breakfast and I got my cup of Teh Tarik as I mention Gelas Besar … and a slice of Roti Canai … I dunno how to tell you…if you guys from Malaysia … I guess most of you familiar with this dish… typical Malaysian … in the morning Teh Tarik + Roti Canai. Then… KEK LOK SI (this how you type it and pronounce it by spelling it…I did mention this because sooooooo many guys spell it the wrong way off course)

Before we climb the stairs and torturing our feet

I didn’t really had pictures from this trip … so most of the pictures HERE will be from other of my friends la … maybe from Mikgami,Saupix,Stador or even Diana (she just open her Flickr Account) … (the reason why I put their pictures … and some of mine … because the 1st reason would be … I ‘malas ‘ to upload my pictures 2nd reason … you can visit our Flickr … so … we begin with a picture from Diana

market below the Kek Lok Si Temple

On the other hand tu tajuknya ....

Alamak … before ter forget … nak kenalkan jejaka yg menunggu matahari kecuali si Princess yg dah balik …This one from Stador

Between the tired guys and the enthusiasm in some of their faces

OK …. back to the Kek Lok Si Temple visti … ermm this pict from Mikagami

A couple went in the Temple for blessings ...

The person capturing this image...really like Kure-kure aka Tortoise not Turtle

And this one buah tangan dari Saupix

The front Lion Guardian of Kek Lok Si

A visitor beginning to pray and bid for forgiveness or 'else'

some from me … Kyzer

This was took as I saw somebody passby the rune stone ...

This was taken in a loose situation but I just crop it to

nothing to be told actually because we went to Kek Lok Si … and capture a few piccas there, so that’s all lew … so I just put a few photos from my friends … but Stador…he only put a single photos that link to Kek Lok Si … but a model of Diana …just click to their link that I provided lah…if you guys want to enjoy their pictures/photos …  remember to click the So&SO link … so oklah… this post deem to be the shortest ok … we end the visti with a lunch at Kapitan Briyani Claypot…end of the story

P/S~ be sure to ‘usha2′ their photos in their flickr…and mine also … letak le a few comments as you wish

Ok let just continue this post…the previous post was the story about the dinner being held in Naza Hotel…most of us enjoy that moment with some chitty chatty of course…a few of them i’ve met before…so after the dinner what were we doing… 1st of all we had a TT at Subaidah Nasi Kandar … ermm I was joined by Stador,Mikagami,Saupix,Abg Fir,Diana (Princess),Daiyo and NasirZain(TokAyah)…just having some rejuvenate drink after a long day. We hang out for quite some times…as I recall that night was raining heavily.

The Raindrops bounce on a source of light

The bouncing part of the light was captured by our very own sifoo saupix… I was looking at this light too (but I didn’t had the tenacity to snap it…but then, somebody had the will to snap it…(^_^) so I’m happy to upload it) … this happen when we TT that night. We ‘lepaking’ until 2 hours maybe… first it just 6 of us…then daiyo n tokayah join the lepak…after that TT…Stador had this crazy idea of…non-sleep activity…light trail…errmm never thought of that in the middle of morning…yala … almost 3am that time…so we all went to a flyover which situated in a quite unpopulated area…not kinda place i want to be at that particular time…(my idea of light trail supposed to be in an area with building lights, more dramatics) but the idea quite nice and i didn’t have anything to do at that particular time….

Nice Idea of fusing the light trail with other subject

Mine … light trail… the shutter speed being uphold too long in bulb mode … so the light seems to be un connected …

simple...the light really let me down...because I left this shutter open too long..

So…because of somebody make use of my tripod…so I need to use most of my experience in placing my DSLR at a specific place … but a decent light trail what … just less dramatic as I eventually hoping something ‘more’…because of that … i just mess around with some light paint…not really paint, but bouncing would do.

I

after this … we all moved to…Sungai Penang…actually the time about 4/++ am … the reason actually to catch up with the sunrise…but sunrise here not really fascinate me as the sunset… so… let see what i’ve caught before the first light appeared …

This really caught my attention...light blueish sky and awesome reflection (my eye lah...dunno you guys) I like this ...

So…when the light came out…here what I got …after I ‘tertido’ sekejap …

When the light out...entertain us... eh ter smell like teen spirit plaks

so… that’s wrap up this post le kot…next post or … last post of the 36 hours of my Photography would be our visit to the Kek Lok Si Temple … the participants would be me,Stador,Mikagami,Saupix and Diana … and the event when we are the first batch ‘merasmikan’ the Northern Clan FMDC T-Shirt in public ..

FMDC Northern Clan after a gruelling overnight stay up

hihihi … to be continued

So…Lemme continue with the story at the Dinner (FMDC Dinner)…so many going on and yet I’ve managed to snap a few photos and guess what…most of it were really under a harsh flash situation…I still need to work my touch on low light and flash during night even plus open space…I’ve been told by a few guys how to do…but yet it still came out poorly…but let start the story…(warning … i didn’t really have quality photos to share in this post because of my lack in night shootout) …after a chitty chatty TT with the TALK participants and also Abg Zainal himself at the nearby Subaidah Nasi Kandar … I and my Japanese Jambi (this supposed to be Mikagami) friend decided to solat and change our outfit at Penang Floating Mosque…so, we went there …after solat, I took an advantage to ‘clean-up’ myself…and wearing our ‘Raya’ outfit…it just to enjoy the night in our outfit… so…off we went to the Naza Hotel after changing.

a few of the friend wearing baju melayu met at the lobby of the hotel… seems they were really cherish that moment.That guy, the one hugging that greenish guy was Mr Black or so called Panglima Hitam…that greenish guy…his the Jambi Japanese … Mikagami in person

really boring faces…nah, actually his been finding it hard to swallow malaysian food…hua hua hua …. no lah..this guy just like to pose his face differently. and how bout this guy ?

This Guy can smell the cameras that aiming for his pose

on top of just eating and chatting…we also being entertain by a few of our own talented photographers fellow cum singer…they’ve prove to be quite passionate in singing the songs.

Our very own entertainer

Two nad a half couple were here also…Nae & Tasha and the baby she’s having

Nak kamera aku?...takleh...aku sayang kamera ni macam bini aku jugak (Tasha memerhati dgn muka cuak)

So let me introduce myself, the pirincess herself NurDiana and the Mahakarya Saufi

Young and energetic fellow

So… the dinner seems to be quite entertaining where we had a couple of chitty chatty both with some new friends that we just met in the cyber world and we get to know them better and in person …. that’s another part of the report… and there’s still to go…to be continue …

P/s- the pictures were just thumbnail…next time to view it full please do click ur right mouse and choose view image .. thank you

Last week…would be one of the exhausting day in my life…one of okey? …so, there were more and will be in the future compare to 8 years of exhausted experienced this was nothing… where should I begin ekk? ok …let say the excitement for me begin on the 9th November where I met my senior which also like to jump into the world of photography…maybe he had his own intention which I would like to say…for time being his intention quite blurry and not sincere enough to explore the art of capturing still image. So let he decide his path next time…for photography I would do anything within my grab to ‘join’ at least to fulfill my passion and my eagerness to experienced the thrill… I’ve decide not to just snap a picture…it would be nice if each of my pictures tell something to the person seeing it…I like to use the catch phrase … Let the pictures tell you a thousand stories than people tell you thousand lies…the pictures here can be either your photos or your artworks…It can be interpreted in a subjective ways…(while i was typing, i kept on thinking…does my blog always full of S*IT?) the catch phrase I’ve used kinda knock my head a bit, hi hi hi…. so let begin with this picture which on the 8th a Talk from Zainal Halim our very own Reuters Photographer (taken date 8th Nov 2008 at 10.25am)

The definition itself had caught my attention

Before the talk even begun…I was looking at this definition … I liked it very much and hoping this what would I do in the future. Sometimes I admire photos and pictures full of manipulation which I actually didn’t keen of ( I really don’t like editing up to a standard which manipulate the whole picture) but still I did it for the purpose of experimenting with photoshop…. we can also see the artwork from Zainal Halim at his own Gallery of pictures…at ZainalHalim.com … a passionate photographer that been acknowledge by Reuters…taip je sniri www.reuters.com … (sebab aku try paste link tak berjaya takpn click kat alamat penuh tu) …kejap aku promo abang zainal nih (walhal dia takyah dah aku nak promo,tapi disebabkan aku envy tul kat gambo2 dia…) first Sorry the caption was intentionally not to be included (sebab tu milik abang Zainal) so …. to maintan the quote of let the pictures tell you the stories …some more photos

See how marvelous the photos can be…. and here was the latest update in his web ,…

what can I expected from a photojournalist … a photo that tell you some stories. which I like this concept… We’ve heard what a real Reuters Photographer gave us a talk and here is the man himself

courtesy of MN - one of the participants in the talk …

I would not say much how his talk had inspired most of us … he did say something about the rules that we need to follow in becoming photo journalist … not really a rule but quite an ethic I would say…because as we all knew that rules is meant to be broken. But ethic should come first, to share his talk… I’ve become quite unwilling …don’t call me stingy because I paid for his talk… but I still can share something … he really gave us a few tips on how he use to follow an ethic on how you need to be a photojournalist … First, No photo manipulation except simple levelling and cropping image. Second, No posing ’subject’ in the picture (maksudnya takleh mintak orang pose dalam gambo). Third, mingle around with the local to obtain their slight trust…so that when you shoot, they will be ready (not pose but accept the fact you were there to do your job).Fourth,obtain stories from news and other source, so that you have a story to be compose through your photos… dan sebagainya

This would be my summary on what he said before…the point of you need to send your pictures with caption also hold an important parts of being photojournalist…be patient with a passion in it. Bring a picture worth to be publish and caught the people attention seeing it.

Participants - and Zainal Halim

Apit n His wife pose with a few gadgets temporarily owned by Zainal Halim (because the gadgets belong to Reuters~as he said it)

So the talk seem to be affected my faint heart and a few other guys and it brings more passion to me … to indulge the power of still image…  ermm I’ve been saying to much for my 1st post on this title … take a break and wait my 2nd post…to be continued

Post sebelum ni pasal kisah2 pembukaan November ekk…so sekarang aku nak semak (check)… bukan semak (buat messy)… aku punya aktiviti di awalan bulan November…as usually…aku ni malas..so update memang lambat bangat, sebab bz dgn keja yg memerlukan aku attend merata tempat skrg…sungguh jebonster sungguh…yela, org yg merangkap photographer utk mengambil gambar bangunan/site previous projek utk company yg aku keja ni…(bleh claim mileage jer… dan aku tak minat ambik gambo stiff objek sgt (bangunan le) tak photo journalist langsung…hua hua hua) yela … klau bangunan tu ada design atau mark yg menarik, ada le gak benda yg nak digebangkan …

Ok berbalik kepada cerita … awal bulan seblas lepas…kitaorg buat satu marathon layan movie… so aku dan si stador dan jemputan lagi 2 orang termasuk seorang awek … our so called Princess… melayan le cite …

4 movies in the row on the same day

Actually cerita apa pn kitaorg tak kisah…sebab itu niat diorang (aku, just layan je) sebenarnya the most movies I’ve layan in a day was…way back then in U le… 5 movies…so 4 movies ni consider ok le…well, kitaorang mula dgn action pack movie Bangkok Dangerous featuring one of the best actor yg aku suka..Nicholas Cage, no particular reason la…macam most budak pompuan suka kat Anuar Zain la…haiyya… Cite yg cam besa la action pack ni.. ada tembak2 bak kata orang Kill,kill,die,die la, meletup2 . Review ada kat SINI .Movie yg kedua, ermm agak slapstick humour dan klau sorang2 aku tadak layan ini cerita kat wayang…Disaster Movie–korang taule kan cite2 parody ni sama dengan je cite2 Scary Movie,Date Movie,Meet the Spartans dan sewaktu dengannya la. Story board cite ni…as usual…slapstik la … lawak2 bangang dgn peniruan dan jalan cerita yg cacamarba, takat nak gelak bleh la, but this one memang bangang sangatss. review untuk Disaster Movie click SINI .Rehat dari filem, cam besa le makan2 sket. buat apa yg patut…cam solat ke hape…pastu sambung balik…dgn cite yg aku rasa hampess tapi lepas tgk ..I take back my word la..tapi still not my worth utk aku layan kat wayang…sebab aku punya sebab utk aku layan kat wayang adalah cite yg menggunakan 100% sound (yg surrounding) efek dan mempunyai jalan cite yg menarik (sinematografi).But still klau aku tgk2 ramai2 lainle cite…cam aku layan EPL le…klau ramai2 ni lain AURA nya..gelak pn ramai2 klau tgk cite lawak kat panggung…eh…cite yg aku maksudkan The House Bunny le…slalunya Anna Faris ni korang faham2 le klau slalu tgk Scary Movie…bangang mangkuk tingkat punya persona yg dia slalu lakonkan..sebenarnya dalam cite tu sama je cuma ada penceritaan yg teratur dan menarik…dan lebih penting, kategori cite ni adalah U…sebabnya kategori U skrg ni kat TV pn dah banyak tunjuk ‘lurah dendam‘, ‘pusat pentadbiran‘, ‘bamper 2′ dan bukak2 …so no komen le dgn ‘U’ yg diletak…nice to enjoy le…still lawak bangang yg ada story dan klau nak ushar review sblm layan cite ni klik le SINI. kemdian last story yg ada cerita dan menarik bagi aku…dan still aku takkan tengok cite ni kat wayang sorang2 atau bawak awek atau dgn family (jauh skali). Sebab utama, besala..untuk aku, story yg agak meleret dan no action…untuk awek aku? sebab cite ni tak seswai dari segi penggunaan bahasa yg agak harsh dan jalan cite yg konfem banyak potong yg ganggu flow of the story…bukan mild story tapi mesej berat yg nak disampaikan…so…family ekk? mak abah aku memang tak suka wayang…so jgn harap le nak ajak, adik beradik aku?…we like action pack atau thriller horror je …no romantic stuff and weak sound effect…cite tak best pn kitaorg komen…Max Payne?…mengecewakan…why?…storyboard yg sama dengan cite2 yg sewaktu dgnnya…dan klau mengikuti permainan video nya… cannot match the excitement la. Eh, aku tak mention ekk last movie yg kami tgk tu… nama cite tu My Best Friends Girl…Princess kitaorg tu suka aktor yg berlakon tu Dane Cook…namun klau cite ni compare to hitch…aku rasa hitch best lagi … tgk review kat SINI utk cite ni. Last but not least … lepas je cite ni… aku merempit kesorangan di bening malam bertemankan embun sepanjang aku terus ‘mengoyak’ minyak sebelum sampai ke pondok separa mewah aku dan sebelum aku menghamburkan diri aku yg kelesuan ke atas tilam aku yg keras … atas kelesuan yg nyata…aku lena dibuai mimpi (tak ingat sebab terlalu subjektif) tanpa peduli kekerasan tilam…aku anggap cam water bed le jadinya… next post …should be 36hours of photo excitement…share the knowledge and photos throughout the day.

P/S~ review2 yg aku letak tu dari different web sebab saja nak kelainan dan just klik kat ‘ SINI ‘ punya perkataan tu la. Dan aku sebenarnya tak suka sangat marathon ni sebab tak sempat nak ‘digest’ intipati cite2 tu dan kekadang tak kena genre filem yg aku suka…dalam marathon ni…aku layan Bangkok Dangerous je yg sebetulnya…dan aku still nak beli CD cite My Best Friend’s Girl sebab kat wayang…bukan sekadar harsh words yg di sensored tetapi parts2 yg dipotong terlalu banyak dan mengganggu flow cerita (potongan pn tak sharp bila ada yg terlebih terkurang potong). Sekian le kot…banyak dah aku gebang nih.

Wah sai…. November Splash seh… what to do…so many things happen lew… 1st of all … what might November bring to you?…Tragedi Oktober? Lagu Awie tu… blehla nak kala OK…click kat link syiokk maa … eh manyak hampess tu Oktober meh…alo lo … ok ok back to the future …it’s November ya’ll ..so pelagi … Guns & Roses la … November Rain khas untuk Abby Abadi dan Norman Hakim termasuk Memey.

November Rain

When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin’ when I hold you
Don’t you know I feel the same

‘Cause nothin’ lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it’s hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain

We’ve been through this auch a long long time
Just tryin’ to kill the pain

But lovers always come and lovers always go
An no one’s really sure who’s lettin’ go today
Walking away

If we could take the time
to lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin’ that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me
then darlin’ don’t refrain
Or I’ll just end up walkin’
In the cold November rain

Do you need some time…on your own
Do you need some time…all alone
Everybody needs some time…
on their own
Don’t you know you need some time…all alone

I know it’s hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn’t time be out to charm you

Sometimes I need some time…on my
own
Sometimes I need some time…all alone
Everybody needs some time…
on their own
Don’t you know you need some time…all alone

And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain
I know that you can love me
When there’s no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
‘Cause nothin’ lasts forever
Even cold November rain

Don’t ya think that you need somebody
Don’t ya think that you need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You’re not the only one
You’re not the only one
