I'm now currently addicted to Big Bang so much, I mean...it always has been since they debut but for these few weeks, it just went worse. I'm gonna blame it on this MV.

How I Met Your Style

2011-05-05T10:58:00.001+08:00

How I Met Your Style (HIMYS) was concocted from the combined forces of two photographers who wanted to introduce the style gurus behind the blogs and brands. Revealing more intimate portraits of these trendsetters, they hope to focus on life on the other side of the mirror.

What a great new idea artist Juliana Santacruz Herrera has done to Paris streets by dispatching potholes with colourful braids and yarn, giving it a new refreshing sight.

DIY ice cream parlour - in the midst

2011-04-18T11:49:00.001+08:00

Planning a party has always been one of my favourite things to do. From the day I saw this, I told myself that someday for whatever reason I can come up with, or no reason at all, I will have to do this. So now I found a fairly good reason to plan for this. I'll be doing this for my sister's birthday even tho I was warned beforehand not to plan any celebration for her this year. I might just get a smack in the head, that's all.

For now, I'm still figuring out how to keep the ice cream cold in our hot weather, creating a list of things-to-buy and crossing fingers in hope that I can find the things in my list.

This could be one of my dream job

2011-04-15T13:19:00.001+08:00

To travel and do fine art photography of places like Rebecca Plotnik, and at the same time make a living out of it. It's my choice to just dream of it or start thinking about it seriously and take action. Oh, and I especially like her series of subways.

Sayyora Saydiganieva for Sephora

2011-04-14T16:02:00.000+08:00

Sayyora 1st caught my attention was when I walked pass Giordano stores in the malls. I would just stand there and admire how perfect she looks. 2nd time was when I got a newsletter from Sephora (without knowing it was her til I googled) with her as the model and it's her 1st big US campaign. See how a person can look different but still as attractive.

Been really addicted to Chromeo recently, I could listen to them million times non stop. I didn't know that I'll like electrofunk til I heard them. It's a little bit of those 80's mixes and it's a good generation.

In Between

2011-04-05T12:51:00.000+08:00

Another new thing in life for me I never knew I could accomplish together with Peaceful. Handmade stuff day and night to meet the due date for Pipit store. Because we told ourselves that if we didn't commit to it we'll have to strip and run naked down the streets. Thank god we didn't have to, or maybe the people out at the streets are more thankful.

So anyhow, we've made our first batch and it's now in Pipit store at SS2, or check In Between, that's what we called ourselves.

Getting back

2011-03-16T16:13:00.000+08:00

Apparently when this was neglected long ago I didn't intend to come back. Just somehow something brought me back here and I think I'll start again. It's always to start again.

Not just here, my other blogs as well, I think I have 3 other blogs to update. Time to get them out of the spidey web.

Just stay with me here. I mean myself.

Wow! is the only word. Such amazing art work that Dalton Ghetti has produced by just using some tools that appear in our everyday life, PENCIL.

Scary Room 19

2010-08-26T15:57:00.001+08:00

That's the room that I've stepped in twice for drums exam. This time more calm. Exam is something that is long gone in my dictionary, but somehow these few years it came back to me. I survived the 1st, don't know about the 2nd one. Hopefully, fingers crossing everyday and night that I'll get through it.

I was nervous months before the exam knowing that I wasn't prepared for any of this although I knew that it was coming. Somehow after weeks of practicing it did make me more calm and I was practically blank when I went in to perform. I arrived much earlier than needed to sit and wait for my time to come. Sitting there and gazing through the pathway towards Room 19 makes my heart jump a lil' bit and after a while I actually felt sleepy at times. When it's strikes 2pm, I knew that was it, I braved myself to the room and wished the examiners good afternoon and played as they asked me to. Song 4, 10, set pieces and sight reading, minutes passed and I'm done. Well, I thought it's minutes, what seemed to be like 5 minutes in that room was actually 20 minutes in actual. It's kinda like Inception. Not believing it, I even asked the examiner is that it? Expecting something more. Walked outta that room still not believing that what I've feared for months actually ended in that short period of time.

Another fear to come is actually waiting for the results...urgghhh!! another torture.

It gets nervous in August

2010-08-09T17:27:00.000+08:00

I'm actually in fear, especially every Monday when going to class feels like going for the exam. Exam is on 23rd Aug which is exactly 2 weeks from now. I'm not too sure if I can get through it smoothly. I require more practice to make sure I know what I can do. It's really nerve wrecking and I can feel my mind is going to shut down anytime.

Renai Shashin

2010-04-17T15:34:00.002+08:00

aka Collage Of Our Life or Love Collage. I watched this few years back and the main reason I first watched it was because the story touches on topics about photography. It's worth a watch just to enjoy the photography part even if you're not into love stories. Anyway this is not as much a lovey dovey story, you've gotta watch til the end to get the whole picture.

Makoto encounters the love of his life in the girl called Shizuru. However their relationship is of brief duration as Makoto discovers that Shizuru's photographic know how, outmatches his own and won some international award. They end up separating with her extracting a promise from dream of becoming a professional photographer...Three years later, the promise still hasn't been fulfilled. All the memories were flash back as Makoto received a letter from New York,sent by Shizuru.

Knowing rumors from his old colleague that Shizuru has been dead for a year, Makoto decided to go and visit her beloved...

Alright, I'm watching it for the 2nd time now. Laters

Been busy lazy

2010-04-01T16:08:00.000+08:00

It's been 2 months since my last post, a lot of happenings and the not so happening ones. When it's already April you can feel that the time past fast, but when you look back to early Feb, you felt that it was long time ago. Too long to even remember what had happened. Sigh. I'm coming back soon with more updates from the past 2 months (try to gather everything asap).

Getting back to work now. bye.

Somewhere in Penang

2010-01-23T12:22:00.000+08:00

With FB around I feel like I'm repeating myself and the blog seems it's just there for probably other purposes. But I just wanted to post up some shots I've done in Penang during December visit. Basically my favourites. All shots by me except for the 1st one.

101 poses and 1 dinner

2010-01-22T00:00:00.002+08:00

Just like the multiple previous years, we had our annual dinner with D whenever he returns to his home-country. Difference between those past years and this year is he was always the one treating us to dinner (which we utterly insist that he should cause he's the D), but this year it's Jasbir who treated us. Thanks Datin.
One other thing we did which we didn't do for those umpteen years was posing..er..no...it's camwhoring...ok, it's the same. Anyhoo, to be able to keep a relationship this long is not an easy task. I appreciate it that we've come so far with bits and pieces, highs and lows happening during the course of this period and I intend to keep it that way.

I'm cleaning me

2010-01-21T00:23:00.047+08:00

When I'm being asked about resolutions, I said none, later on I have some and suddenly I have one more. I've been meaning to do this since just yesterday. I'm still trying hard to find a best way where I can eat and detox at the same time. I guess I'm trying NO.1. Boost and cleanse body system sounds pretty good. Other ways suggested is to have a vege and fruit fast for a week with the chances of having some side effects like body odour, bad breath, gets dizzy, low energy or even faint. Body odour and bad breath...enough reasons for me to not to think about it unless I'm staying at home to stink. So a no go. Hence, I'm cutting down meat and eat only vege, brown rice, loads of fruits and grains maybe. Other things to cut down would be alcohol and smoke. I don't smoke so don't make me a 2nd hand smoker. Hope I can survive a week and will see how my body reacts.

In fact, I've already tick off some other resolutions like going to Quattro. That's been done last week. So 1 resolution down and more to come. lol. What lousy resolution but I rather have lousy ones than have one that's hard to follow. At least when it's achieved, it's still an achievement.

Back to basic

2010-01-20T23:46:00.000+08:00

Rewind back to last week, I attended a beginner yoga class as a replacement for my usual intermediate/advance class. All these while I've been thinking about my advancement, where and how I can improve my skills and not until last week that I found out that I've been neglecting the basics. The stretches, correct postures for the maximum effect, all these can't be neglected, even if I'm already taking advance classes because without practicing the basics I can't proceed to higher level. This got me thinking that the same term should be applied to our everyday life, in work, family, friends and loved ones. Going back to basic is when everything is so simple and easier to start.

Today, as usual our instructor got us to attempt some pose we always hesitate to do. Headstand. While we were trying our very best to get our legs up, she was explaining on what are the benefits, listing it out .....and suddenly....anti-aging came out, and on 2nd thought I was trying to persuade a yoga mate to do it as I need to rest 1st, so I told her 'hey, faster do, can anti-age want.'....immediately she responded 'are you saying I'm old?'....oops in my mind, I just quickly say, 'aiya, no. I also need it.'
My point of saying it to her was because I naively thought all ladies entering their 20s should already start to prevent aging in any best way they could.
Another lesson learnt, no matter what situation, who and how old they are, never mention the word ANTI and AGING combined together, or even AGE alone. Just keep my mouth shut next time. haha! Well, I do learn alot during yoga classes on non-related topics about yoga don't I.

twenty ten.

2010-01-01T12:06:00.001+08:00

Hope you had a great new year's celebration! Have some resolution and let's try to follow it throughout the year. *wink*

Til then.

Andzrej Dragan - Art is artificial

2009-12-28T17:48:00.006+08:00

What does photography mean to you?
" First of all, let me just make it clear that I really don't like taking photographs" says the young Polish photographer and quantum physicist Andzrej Dragan while answer the first, general question about his work. "To be quite frank, I dislike it". And although I am convinced that his work definitely goes beyond the borders of mere photography, I admit I am a bit puzzled at hearing this statement.

It sounds weird, I know. When my friends ask me to take them a picture and I refuse, they are disappointed, but I simply don't like photographing. I'm not even neutral about that - I actually dislike it. And yet, for some unknown reason that I still haven't understood, sometimes I happen to run into someone I really want to photograph, because his or her face looks interesting to me, but that's quite unusual. In the beginning I just used to ask him or her to let me take a photograph, after having a short conversation with them - I might very well have met them in the street, for example. The whole thing didn't generally take longer than a few minutes. Then I have gradually taken on a more selective attitude in choosing the people I'm interested in, and now I take about one photo a month.

Do you always carry your camera with you?
No, I don't like that at all. I only take it when I'm looking for some faces for my portraits. I know many photographer always carry their cameras with them - I've heard that Cartier-Bresson before a breakfast had already used up a few roles - but that's not my case. I take very few pictures and very quickly, I'm not at all looking for people or photographs all the time. This is just a beginning of the process. I spend a very long time working on the material - it can take me up to one month to process a single photo, as it has recently been the case with a portrait of a Danish celebrity actor - Mads Mikkelsen. I spend most of this time watching and thinking, and usually after many hours I'm able to decide which one of the few portraits I've taken I intend to use. That's when the digital post-production process begins. In some respects this method resembles painting, because it's just as if I used a brush - only, my brush is a digital one. I try not to add any new elements, I rather enhance or underline some aspects of the image.

Once you've chosen and studied your photograph, do you already know what specific result you want to obtain?
Not always, the purpose of observing is precisely to find out what I want to underline in that picture, in order to be able to try and work on it. Sometimes I already know it while I'm taking the photograph, in which case I go back home, I plunge into a twenty-four-hour working session and that's it. One day I was on a bus, I began to talk with a man and noticed that when he spoke he widened his eyes - he had deep, impressive eyes - but when he was silent they were not that vivid, less visible, less alive, less interesting. On that occasion, I immediately understood that if I wanted to show the vividness of those eyes I had to photograph them while he was speaking and then assemble the face with a silent mouth. I just combined two images - opened eyes and closed mouth. The result is the portrait of a man who speaks only with his eyes - interesting and trivial in the same time. I already knew this while I was taking the pictures, so the processing phase went much faster. But many other times I don't exactly know what I want to obtain, so I just keep my mind open and to find something interesting.

You've mentioned portraits. What do you think they are?
Portraits is an illusion of looking at a real person. People expect portraits to reveal something about the persons and their true stories. I don't know whether this is true, whether it can be generally true, but if it were, it would be impossible to portray someone you don't know: how can you say something about a stranger? In that case, the portrait might just reveal the photographer's impression of that person, but that impression might have very little, if anything, in common with that individual. I don't care about the definitions, I do what I do. If people don't want to call them portraits, that's ok by me. I'm not interested in names.

Is there any conceptual common ground between your career as an artist and as a physicist?
Well, first of all I would like to underline I don't consider myself an artist. I don't like the sophisticated background of this word. But to answer your question, I don't know whether there is a connection, but I certainly was educated by several years of scientific studies. For example, I know that sometimes I can get disturbing because, if someone says something that doesn't sound true to me, I start to investigate right away, and this can make people nervous. But the thing is that when people - including myself - say something, most of the times they get it wrong. You may say that the Earth goes around the Sun in circles. But if you carefully study this working hypothesis, you realize it's not correct. Science is a method to investigate which statements are not true. What comes out is that only very statements can be labeled not to be false. And scientists are aware that even these might be only temporarily 'true', because after a while you find out that after all they weren't, and something else becomes true instead. So you see, it's difficult to say what is true and what is not. There's little truths I am 100% convinced about, and there are truths I think I can partially guess - let's say I have different degrees of certainty about different phenomena - but what I'm interested in is becoming aware of a certainty of my knowledge. I have absolutely no idea about the truthfulness of some realities, but I have to accept it, I have no choice. I prefer not knowing that being wrong or believing. And obviously I don't know most things, but I want to be able to distinguish between those I have some sort of idea about and those I cannot know at all. This is what matters in science. But I'm not quite sure this has to do with photography. When I take pictures I don't pay any attention to that, I don't think about truth. Some people don't even agree about calling my work photography, because according to them it does not obey to certain rules. But I don't subscribe to those rules. Rules are basically prescriptions to those who cannot think themselves. Ironically, 'break some rules' has become a new rule in photography - what a nonsense. Obligation to follow rules or truths in photography is not even a thought. It is some sort of ridiculous thought protesis. Just think of black and white photography - I mean, did you ever see anyone on the street in black and white?

When it's December

2009-12-16T23:19:00.008+08:00

It's the holiday season and gift exchanging month, I've been doing quite a bit of receiving these days, just unfortunately it's not for me. Came December 1st and a friendly call from Clarins informing me that there'll be a gift for Rainbowwawa. Since she's a member and have all the free gifts privileges even when she's not in town, me here got to be the on behalf.

I'd say the gifts are nothing to shout about, but how nice it is to be receiving some sweet cookies and sunflower plus towel and notebook even when you're away. She's gotta see this because I've zero idea when she'll be back to see them alive. Well, they're not anymore. Sunflower is gone and cookies are in me. Lucky I'm just smart enough to have them pictured. *giggle*

PS: Cookies were consumed yesterday 15th Dec and I'm still standing.

You want something, go get it. Period.

2009-12-03T12:55:00.002+08:00

I know I've been posting up a lot of inspirational stuff. I don't care, and here's one more. It's good to be inspired. That's what I need now.

Buy a cake and donate to charity

2009-12-02T20:53:00.004+08:00

I'm posting this on behalf of my friend Lenny, who thought that if it's just on her own she can't do much for charity, therefore she decided to make use of her skills / hobby. She's doing it by baking butter cake (homemade, approx 1kg) and selling it for RM15 and one third of it will go to charity of her choice. Do show your interest as it's a very delicious cake, picture can't tell but I'm still showing it. So if you're in Klang Valley area and interested do buzz me. Time for you to be charitable.

Show some love people.

Ideas worth spreading

2009-11-30T12:32:00.000+08:00

I wanna thank you

2009-11-25T22:24:00.008+08:00

Oh-o! I'm a month late. But but but, who in the world can get to be friends with their kidnappers, but me. So I just wanna thank you all my kidnappers for seizing me again. This time further.

A huge thank you to the mastermind for all the planning and organizing, even though it rains and shines

We still make it through to Glory Beach, PD and in time for me to snap and share

Their mission this time wasn't about just kidnapping me but to have a feast

Feed me with cakes

Doing the mission impossible of getting me drunk. Yeap, right. Impossible it is.

Get our beach retreat

It was all beachy and alcoholic night or rather a bitchy and alko-horny night.

And end up with us further down down down down.

Not forgetting Rainbow for putting my face on her blog with a sweet wish. Touched and shocked at the same time. To all for getting me those gifts and Onglai, though not present but for conning me on the gift (you know what I'm talking about). Also all those SMS and FB wishes. Thank you all.

Ten Things I Have Learned

2009-10-28T15:32:00.006+08:00

Just in case some of you haven't know, Milton Glaser is the "I Heart NY" designer. Thanks to "Ms.Chia" for introducing him to me, plus his wise words and knowledge. People say old is gold. It might be a lil' bit long but it's worth a read. Go ahead.

1. YOU CAN ONLY WORK FOR PEOPLE THAT YOU LIKE.
This is a curious rule and it took me a long time to learn because in fact at the beginning of my practice I felt the opposite. Professionalism required that you didn’t particularly like the people that you worked for or at least maintained an arms length relationship to them, which meant that I never had lunch with a client or saw them socially. Then some years ago I realised that the opposite was true. I discovered that all the work I had done that was meaningful and significant came out of an affectionate relationship with a client. And I am not talking about professionalism; I am talking about affection. I am talking about a client and you sharing some common ground. That in fact your view of life is someway congruent with the client, otherwise it is a bitter and hopeless struggle.

2. IF YOU HAVE A CHOICE NEVER HAVE A JOB.
One night I was sitting in my car outside Columbia University where my wife Shirley was studying Anthropology. While I was waiting I was listening to the radio and heard an interviewer ask ‘Now that you have reached 75 have you any advice for our audience about how to prepare for your old age?’ An irritated voice said ‘Why is everyone asking me about old age these days?’ I recognised the voice as John Cage. I am sure that many of you know who he was – the composer and philosopher who influenced people like Jasper Johns and Merce Cunningham as well as the music world in general. I knew him slightly and admired his contribution to our times. ‘You know, I do know how to prepare for old age’ he said. ‘Never have a job, because if you have a job someday someone will take it away from you and then you will be unprepared for your old age. For me, it has always been the same every since the age of 12. I wake up in the morning and I try to figure out how am I going to put bread on the table today? It is the same at 75, I wake up every morning and I think how am I going to put bread on the table today? I am exceedingly well prepared for my old age’ he said.

3. SOME PEOPLE ARE TOXIC AVOID THEM.
This is a subtext of number one. There was in the sixties a man named Fritz Perls who was a gestalt therapist. Gestalt therapy derives from art history, it proposes you must understand the ‘whole’ before you can understand the details. What you have to look at is the entire culture, the entire family and community and so on. Perls proposed that in all relationships people could be either toxic or nourishing towards one another. It is not necessarily true that the same person will be toxic or nourishing in every relationship, but the combination of any two people in a relationship produces toxic or nourishing consequences. And the important thing that I can tell you is that there is a test to determine whether someone is toxic or nourishing in your relationship with them. Here is the test: You have spent some time with this person, either you have a drink or go for dinner or you go to a ball game. It doesn’t matter very much but at the end of that time you observe whether you are more energised or less energised. Whether you are tired or whether you are exhilarated. If you are more tired then you have been poisoned. If you have more energy you have been nourished. The test is almost infallible and I suggest that you use it for the rest of your life.

4. PROFESSIONALISM IS NOT ENOUGH or THE GOOD IS THE ENEMY OF THE GREAT.
Early in my career I wanted to be professional, that was my complete aspiration in my early life because professionals seemed to know everything - not to mention they got paid for it. Later I discovered after working for a while that professionalism itself was a limitation. After all, what professionalism means in most cases is diminishing risks. So if you want to get your car fixed you go to a mechanic who knows how to deal with transmission problems in the same way each time. I suppose if you needed brain surgery you wouldn’t want the doctor to fool around and invent a new way of connecting your nerve endings. Please do it in the way that has worked in the past.
Unfortunately in our field, in the so-called creative – I hate that word because it is misused so often. I also hate the fact that it is used as a noun. Can you imagine calling someone a creative? Anyhow, when you are doing something in a recurring way to diminish risk or doing it in the same way as you have done it before, it is clear why professionalism is not enough. After all, what is required in our field, more than anything else, is the continuous transgression. Professionalism does not allow for that because transgression has to encompass the possibility of failure and if you are professional your instinct is not to fail, it is to repeat success. So professionalism as a lifetime aspiration is a limited goal.

5. LESS IS NOT NECESSARILY MORE.
Being a child of modernism I have heard this mantra all my life. Less is more. One morning upon awakening I realised that it was total nonsense, it is an absurd proposition and also fairly meaningless. But it sounds great because it contains within it a paradox that is resistant to understanding. But it simply does not obtain when you think about the visual of the history of the world. If you look at a Persian rug, you cannot say that less is more because you realise that every part of that rug, every change of colour, every shift in form is absolutely essential for its aesthetic success. You cannot prove to me that a solid blue rug is in any way superior. That also goes for the work of Gaudi, Persian miniatures, art nouveau and everything else. However, I have an alternative to the proposition that I believe is more appropriate. ‘Just enough is more.’

6. STYLE IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED.
I think this idea first occurred to me when I was looking at a marvellous etching of a bull by Picasso. It was an illustration for a story by Balzac called The Hidden Masterpiece. I am sure that you all know it. It is a bull that is expressed in 12 different styles going from very naturalistic version of a bull to an absolutely reductive single line abstraction and everything else along the way. What is clear just from looking at this single print is that style is irrelevant. In every one of these cases, from extreme abstraction to acute naturalism they are extraordinary regardless of the style. It’s absurd to be loyal to a style. It does not deserve your loyalty. I must say that for old design professionals it is a problem because the field is driven by economic consideration more than anything else. Style change is usually linked to economic factors, as all of you know who have read Marx. Also fatigue occurs when people see too much of the same thing too often. So every ten years or so there is a stylistic shift and things are made to look different. Typefaces go in and out of style and the visual system shifts a little bit. If you are around for a long time as a designer, you have an essential problem of what to do. I mean, after all, you have developed a vocabulary, a form that is your own. It is one of the ways that you distinguish yourself from your peers, and establish your identity in the field. How you maintain your own belief system and preferences becomes a real balancing act. The question of whether you pursue change or whether you maintain your own distinct form becomes difficult. We have all seen the work of illustrious practitioners that suddenly look old-fashioned or, more precisely, belonging to another moment in time. And there are sad stories such as the one about Cassandre, arguably the greatest graphic designer of the twentieth century, who couldn’t make a living at the end of his life and committed suicide.
But the point is that anybody who is in this for the long haul has to decide how to respond to change in the zeitgeist. What is it that people now expect that they formerly didn’t want? And how to respond to that desire in a way that doesn’t change your sense of integrity and purpose.

7. HOW YOU LIVE CHANGES YOUR BRAIN.
The brain is the most responsive organ of the body. Actually it is the organ that is most susceptible to change and regeneration of all the organs in the body. I have a friend named Gerald Edelman who was a great scholar of brain studies and he says that the analogy of the brain to a computer is pathetic. The brain is actually more like an overgrown garden that is constantly growing and throwing off seeds, regenerating and so on. And he believes that the brain is susceptible, in a way that we are not fully conscious of, to almost every experience of our life and every encounter we have. I was fascinated by a story in a newspaper a few years ago about the search for perfect pitch. A group of scientists decided that they were going to find out why certain people have perfect pitch. You know certain people hear a note precisely and are able to replicate it at exactly the right pitch. Some people have relevant pitch; perfect pitch is rare even among musicians. The scientists discovered – I don’t know how - that among people with perfect pitch the brain was different. Certain lobes of the brain had undergone some change or deformation that was always present with those who had perfect pitch. This was interesting enough in itself. But then they discovered something even more fascinating. If you took a bunch of kids and taught them to play the violin at the age of 4 or 5 after a couple of years some of them developed perfect pitch, and in all of those cases their brain structure had changed. Well what could that mean for the rest of us? We tend to believe that the mind affects the body and the body affects the mind, although we do not generally believe that everything we do affects the brain. I am convinced that if someone was to yell at me from across the street my brain could be affected and my life might changed. That is why your mother always said, ‘Don’t hang out with those bad kids.’ Mama was right. Thought changes our life and our behaviour. I also believe that drawing works in the same way. I am a great advocate of drawing, not in order to become an illustrator, but because I believe drawing changes the brain in the same way as the search to create the right note changes the brain of a violinist. Drawing also makes you attentive. It makes you pay attention to what you are looking at, which is not so easy.

8. DOUBT IS BETTER THAN CERTAINTY.
Everyone always talks about confidence in believing what you do. I remember once going to a class in yoga where the teacher said that, spirituality speaking, if you believed that you had achieved enlightenment you have merely arrived at your limitation. I think that is also true in a practical sense. Deeply held beliefs of any kind prevent you from being open to experience, which is why I find all firmly held ideological positions questionable. It makes me nervous when someone believes too deeply or too much. I think that being sceptical and questioning all deeply held beliefs is essential. Of course we must know the difference between scepticism and cynicism because cynicism is as much a restriction of one’s openness to the world as passionate belief is. They are sort of twins. And then in a very real way, solving any problem is more important than being right. There is a significant sense of self-righteousness in both the art and design world. Perhaps it begins at school. Art school often begins with the Ayn Rand model of the single personality resisting the ideas of the surrounding culture. The theory of the avant garde is that as an individual you can transform the world, which is true up to a point. One of the signs of a damaged ego is absolute certainty.
Schools encourage the idea of not compromising and defending your work at all costs. Well, the issue at work is usually all about the nature of compromise. You just have to know what to compromise. Blind pursuit of your own ends which excludes the possibility that others may be right does not allow for the fact that in design we are always dealing with a triad – the client, the audience and you.
Ideally, making everyone win through acts of accommodation is desirable. But self-righteousness is often the enemy. Self-righteousness and narcissism generally come out of some sort of childhood trauma, which we do not have to go into. It is a consistently difficult thing in human affairs. Some years ago I read a most remarkable thing about love, that also applies to the nature of co-existing with others. It was a quotation from Iris Murdoch in her obituary. It read ‘ Love is the extremely difficult realisation that something other than oneself is real.’ Isn’t that fantastic! The best insight on the subject of love that one can imagine.

9. ON AGING.
Last year someone gave me a charming book by Roger Rosenblatt called ‘Ageing Gracefully’ I got it on my birthday. I did not appreciate the title at the time but it contains a series of rules for ageing gracefully. The first rule is the best. Rule number one is that ‘it doesn’t matter.’ ‘It doesn’t matter that what you think. Follow this rule and it will add decades to your life. It does not matter if you are late or early, if you are here or there, if you said it or didn’t say it, if you are clever or if you were stupid. If you were having a bad hair day or a no hair day or if your boss looks at you cockeyed or your boyfriend or girlfriend looks at you cockeyed, if you are cockeyed. If you don’t get that promotion or prize or house or if you do – it doesn’t matter.’ Wisdom at last. Then I heard a marvellous joke that seemed related to rule number 10. A butcher was opening his market one morning and as he did a rabbit popped his head through the door. The butcher was surprised when the rabbit inquired ‘Got any cabbage?’ The butcher said ‘This is a meat market – we sell meat, not vegetables.’ The rabbit hopped off. The next day the butcher is opening the shop and sure enough the rabbit pops his head round and says ‘You got any cabbage?’ The butcher now irritated says ‘Listen you little rodent I told you yesterday we sell meat, we do not sell vegetables and the next time you come here I am going to grab you by the throat and nail those floppy ears to the floor.’ The rabbit disappeared hastily and nothing happened for a week. Then one morning the rabbit popped his head around the corner and said ‘Got any nails?’ The butcher said ‘No.’ The rabbit said ‘Ok. Got any cabbage?’

10. TELL THE TRUTH.
The rabbit joke is relevant because it occurred to me that looking for a cabbage in a butcher’s shop might be like looking for ethics in the design field. It may not be the most obvious place to find either. It’s interesting to observe that in the new AIGA’s code of ethics there is a significant amount of useful information about appropriate behaviour towards clients and other designers, but not a word about a designer’s relationship to the public. We expect a butcher to sell us eatable meat and that he doesn’t misrepresent his wares. I remember reading that during the Stalin years in Russia that everything labelled veal was actually chicken. I can’t imagine what everything labelled chicken was. We can accept certain kinds of misrepresentation, such as fudging about the amount of fat in his hamburger but once a butcher knowingly sells us spoiled meat we go elsewhere. As a designer, do we have less responsibility to our public than a butcher? Everyone interested in licensing our field might note that the reason licensing has been invented is to protect the public not designers or clients. ‘Do no harm’ is an admonition to doctors concerning their relationship to their patients, not to their fellow practitioners or the drug companies. If we were licensed, telling the truth might become more central to what we do.

Never mind the rules, never mind the contrasts. As long as it brings out the aesthetic side of it. I like the way Ellen Rogers portrays mysterious and a lil' gothic look on each image. It's modern yet vintage.

Let it out Miho

2009-09-29T22:54:00.007+08:00

This is a new single by Miho Fukuhara - Let It Out. A cool song to look out for especially when it's

not just focusing on her vocal. An instrumental version showcasing those guitar and drums which

is a must to listen to. Super nice. Here's the link.

Actually I 1st notice her was through this video. Yuki no Hikari (The Snow's Light)

Enjoy. til then

Morning market

2009-09-17T23:24:00.004+08:00

I used to be reluctant whenever my mom asked me to accompany her to the market early morning, but now I'm more than willing to go. I enjoyed the morning freshness (not that it's so fresh in the market, but still), probably it's time for me to learn the rules and regulations at the market, have a get-to-know session with those aunties and uncles, or i might be watching too much Jamie Oliver nowadays. Whatever the naked chef cooked seem simple and look so yummy. *growling*

With no preparation whatsoever, I simply took out my phone to capture my market tour last weekend. Just for the record.

I smell like egg and mayo

2009-09-14T12:40:00.003+08:00

That's because i'm done trying to look for the best product in town to recover my damaged hair, and that's why i'm going for natural product.

Eventually i found this online. this mixture of hair 'treatment' consists of

Ingredients
1. 1 tablespoon of olive oil
2. 1 tablespoon of mayo (2 if you have long hair)
3. 1 egg (again 2 if you have long hair)

Steps:
1. leave your towel on the dryer to heat it up while you get yourself busy mixing those ingredients
2. mix ingredients evenly. make sure mayo blends in well for easy wash off later.
3. spread mixture onto wet hair from the roots to the end. spread extra 'cream' to the tip of your hair where it's the driest part.
4. wrap hair with plastic wrapper or shower cap and then towel. leave it for 20-30 minutes then rinse off with cold water (as cold as you can stand), never use those ingredients alone as they do smell for a while so shampoo and conditioner it off immediately after treatment.

I can't tell you if it works yet, as it was my 1st time trying it, will let you know later. But if you have frizzy, damaged and coloured hair and don't mind smelling like egg and mayo, go ahead and try it.

Here's how i started my day. woke up at 9am (i start work at 9, which means i'm damn late for work), took 15 mins only to prep for work (i didn't even look at myself in the mirror), and drove like crazy to reach at 9.30. got off from the car, walked a few steps and misplaced my foot while stepping down from the road walkway and twisted my left ankle (that ankle already got twisted twice in history), in split seconds that i know, i was kneeling on the tar road with another part twisted, my thumb. all i feel like doing is just LOL.

Broga Walk

2009-08-29T15:14:00.007+08:00

early of the month i organized a broga hill photo walk, located in semenyih. map here.

it started as a casual conversation between me and lenny saying that we wanted to shout out loud on top of the hill, so i suggested broga, and started to blast emails out to one another and ended up with about 12-13 of us up the hill. obviously we never really shouted, because we were out of breath and exhausted from the climb. and it's supposed to be a photo walk, right? so there i go snapping away, and sadly the only one.

on our way

ready to start

almost there. look at the queue

i'm one of the slowest to reach the top, partly because i'm getting myself busy with the camera

love the sun

that's another higher point.

that's just me

and all of a sudden someone wanted to jump

while they're happy jumping

i'm being forced to do so. 'my lame jump'

July Birthdays

2009-08-19T23:28:00.009+08:00

Datin Jasbir's belated "surprise" birthday dinner at Bumbubali.

"Surprise" because this is the 1st time i'm organizing it with her hubby Mahen, and it's the 1st time he joined us for some event. He's the one who suggested Bumbubali which is a great choice. thumbs up to you Mahen.
We later proceeded to Helo Bali. It's just so balinese that night.

Together we celebrated Lynette's (with the peace sign) birthday as well which also falls on the same day (July 11)

The following week: Mr. KC Lee treated us to a steamboat feast

and another week, Kuan's
really not a good shot, but that's the only shot. i think she probably was too shock on the birthday gift that we bought for her.

TADA!!!!

We were at Kokopelli for this short and simple celebration. More like a gathering.

Food was good except for this chicken chop. It tasted like frozen food.
Happy birthday Datin Jas, Nette, KC & Kuan. That's what i've been busy with and the reason why my wallet is dry. In a way i'm just glad that i'm free from birthday celebrations this month, but i'll be giving away birthday wishes.

Til then. my birthday coming soon.

Flipping through Orange Moon

2009-08-17T13:01:00.016+08:00

Now that I remember about it. I got my fingers flipped through Khalil's Orange Moon lyric book after months abandoning it and only found out that on the back of his CD cover he wrote:

What do I think is romantic? Travelling on a highway seeing the sun vanish as the sky changes its hue. Light shining through branches. Rain drops. Umbrellas. Scarfs. Goodmornings. Goodnites. Parks...things in parks...nice parks. Songs. Poems. A smile. Silence. Hysteria. Patience. Humor. Sincerity. Truth. Myths. Dreams. Imagination. Memories. Movies. Film. Sepia. The Legend Of 1900. Somewhere In Time. Strolls. Friends getting married. Winter. Snow. Lakes. Tea. Coffee. Cooking. Slow dancing. Jazz. Art. Being thoughtful. Remembering. Whispers. Moments. Pancakes. Paris. Trams. Nature. French. Calligraphy. Bonsai. Snap shots. The endless landscape of clouds from the window of an airplane. A nose. Old couples. Shadows. Silhouette. Prayers. Wishes. Hopes. Understanding. Trust. Kindness. Being pure at heart.

Those are the things that remind me of an orange moon...there are more, but i have to get back to work.

Take care,
Soulboy

What do you think is romantic?

BIG PROJECT | ROUND 1

2009-08-15T15:58:00.008+08:00

Yet another set of aesthetic snapshot. Who says that you can't do snapshots of someone miles away from you. Rainbow, my sister from another mother is somewhere there (look to your left) and I'm somewhere here (look to your right). Go figure.

Thanks to someone who invented the thing called WEBCAM. In this case she's the photographer herself, posing, snapping, posing and snapping away.

Awesome I thought, but we gotta do something to them shots before posting it up. She sent me ONE shot to experiment. I'm ok with one.
We both loved it.

Later after when she fell in love with her own self portrait, and of course she fell in love with me too, she decided to send me another 1324 pieces of her own images to retouch. Exhausted it is...lol...just...exaggerating.

While everybody is mourning or celebrating MJ's life, have you ever thought that maybe MJ fake his own death like how people suspected Elvis Presley? *pause, thinking, eyes rolling*

Julius (my drum instructor) asked, I said Yea!! for one second. I've thought of that. But why? And why just before his concert? He explained, since he was once married to Lisa Marie Presley, he might know how it's done and by before his concert he can just earn another few millions selling records without doing anything. Just go through sessions of plastic surgery to change him into another person totally and live his own life ever after, happily.

Well, that makes sense *pause, thinking, eyes rolling* again.

But no matter what, one thing for sure is he was a legend and still is a legend. If for a reason he fake his own death, i guess it's that he needs to rest (since 5 years old, for goodness sake), otherwise as anybody else sees it, God is good and thought that what's happening to him here is enough for him.

Blog Korea! Visit Korea!

2009-07-02T14:11:00.005+08:00

After returning from my holiday in Seoul, Korea few months ago, I've always missed the days of being there. Physically and mentally being there. Secretly telling you that I actually felt anxious boarding the plane and just can't wait to make my 1st step onto their seoulful land. Supposing a 7-hour flight to Seoul from KLIA has got to be dragged to a 10-hour flight with transits and stop-overs (KLIA-HK-Taipei-Incheon, Seoul) make me felt even more frustrating.
OK, why am I actually repeating my blog entry on visiting Seoul since I've already done it roughly (real rough ones) few months back is because just recently I get to know that by blogging about Korea, you get to visit Korea and you get to win prizes.

Yay!!! Again!!! Ok, not really yet. But all you have to do is write about Korea's culture, cuisine and landscape or anything that has got to do with Korean tourism. Read read read below.

snapshot aesthetic

2009-06-23T13:54:00.012+08:00

I lazily googled 'photography by genre' and found that there are 89 categories in total and probably still counting. Of all, one genre that caught my attention was snapshot aesthetic.

wiki: The term snapshot aesthetic refers to a trend within fine art photography in the USA from around 1963. The style typically features apparently banal everyday subject matter and off-centered framing. Subject matter is often presented without apparent link from image-to-image and relying instead on juxtaposition and disjunction between individual photographs. This tendency was promoted by John Szarkowski, who was head of the photography department at the Museum of Modern Art from 1962 to 1991, and it became especially fashionable from the late 1970s until the mid 1980s. Notable practitioners include Garry Winogrand, Nan Goldin, Wolfgang Tillmans, Martin Parr, William Eggleston, and Terry Richardson. In contrast with photographers like W. Eugene Smith and Gordon Parks, these photographers aimed not "to reform life but to know it." (John Szarkowski, Diane Arbus) Szarkowski brought to prominence the work of Diane Arbus, Lee Friedlander and Garry Winogrand in his influential exhibition “New Documents” at the Museum of Modern Art in 1967, in which he identified a new trend in photography: pictures that seemed to have a casual, snapshot-like look and had subject matter that seemed strikingly ordinary.

In recent years young contemporary photographers, such as Hiromix, Ryan McGinley and Arnis Balcus have gained international recognition thanks to the snapshot aesthetic. From the early nineties the style became the predominant mode in fashion photography, especially within youth fashion magazines such as The Face - photography from this era is often associated with the so-called "heroin chic" look (a look often seen as having been influenced particularly by Nan Goldin)

The term arose from the fascination of artists with the 'classic' black & white vernacular snapshot, the characteristics of which were:
1) they were made with a camera on which the viewfinder could not easily 'see' the edges of the frame, and so the subject had to be centred; and
2) they were made by ordinary people recording the ceremonies of their lives and the places that they lived and visited.

An early theorist of snapshot aesthetic was the Austrian architectural critic, Joseph August Lux, who in 1908 wrote a book called Künsterlische Kodakgeheimnisse (Artistic Secrets of the Kodak) in which he championed the use of Kodak cameras like the Brownie. Guided by a position that was influenced by the Catholic critique of modernity, he argued that the ease of use of the camera meant that people could photograph and document their surroundings and thus produce, what he hoped, was a type of stability in the ebb and flow of the modern world.

Hiromix:
Hiromix (ヒロミックス Hiromikkusu), real name Hiromi Toshikawa (利川裕美 Toshikawa Hiromi, born 1976 in Tokyo), is a Japanese photographer.

Using a snapshot aesthetic Hiromix photographs herself, friends and moments of everyday life. Part of the girl photographer (女の子の写真家, onna-no-ko no shashinka) trend of the 1990s, she has published several photo books since 1996. She became known in Japan after Nobuyoshi Araki nominated her as the winner of the 11th New Cosmos of Photography (写真新世紀, Shashin Shin-seiki) photo contest, sponsored by Canon, in March 1995. In September 1996, Hiromix's first book, Girls Blue, was published and sold a record number of copies. Many of her photos were taken with a Konica Big Mini, a low-priced all-automatic compact camera, and treated by enlarging on a colour printer.

Hiromix has also been working as a film director since 1995 and has directed eight music videos, a TV commercial and a short TV programme.

Terry Richardson:
Terry Richardson is an international celebrity as well as one of the most prolific and compelling photographers of his generation. Known for his uncanny ability to cut to the raw essence of whomever appears before his lens, Mr. Richardson's vision is at once humorous, tragic, often beautiful, and always provocative.

Born in New York City and raised in Hollywood, Terry began photographing his environment while attending Hollywood High School and playing in a punk rock band. And he hasn't stopped shooting since. Terry has lensed campaigns for such clients as Gucci, Sisley, Miu Miu, Chloe, and his editorial work has appeared in magazines such as French Vogue, British Vogue, i-D, GQ, Harper's Bazaar and Purple, and his impressive list of subjects includes Daniel Day Lewis, Leonardo DiCaprio, Vincent Gallo, Tom Ford, Jay Z, Kanye West, Johnny Knoxville, Karl Lagerfeld, Pharell Williams and many others.

Terry's work has been the subject of numerous group and one man shows throughout the world, and he has published a selection of books, throughout the world, and he ha published a selection of books, beginning with Hysteric Glamour in 1998, and stretching through his career until his most recent work, a retrospective from Taschen, entitled Terryworld 25th Anniversary Edition.

Terry's work spans a variety of mediums: he has shot music videos and commercials and is currently working on his first feature film.

Whatever the medium, Terry Richardson continues to prove that he is a true American Original.

The term Parkour came after I saw this movie called Yamakasi. At that time I thought it's just another typical action movie with all the wirings and stuff with stunt doubles, I mean how could they jump from one tall building to another. It seem just like a small leap to them. I got it all wrong after I found out facts about Parkour.

Here's a short clip of Yamakasi

What I wanted to say OMG to was this clip. It's just amazing how human body is capable of. Watch this and you'll know what I mean.

Million thanks to best friend, Ms.L and her "ex" for making my b'day wish list comes true. This is just one of it and yeah, I purposely drove at my slowest on the highway, park my car into the jam, and waited at every possible traffic lights just because of it.

Note To God

2009-05-20T12:24:00.004+08:00

Performed by Charice. Written by Diane Warren.

If I wrote a note to God
I would speak whats in my soul
I’d ask for all the hate to be swept away
For love to overflow

If I wrote a note to God
I’d pour my heart out on each page
I’d ask for war to end
For peace to mend this world
I’d say, I’d say, I’d say

Give us the strength to make it through
Help us find love cause love is over due
And it seems like so much is goin wrong
On this road…… we’re on

If I wrote a note to God
I’d say please help us find our way
End all the bitterness
Put some tenderness in our hearts
And I’d say, I’d say, I’d say

Give us the strength to make it through
Help us find love cause love is over due
And it looks like we haven’t got a clue
Need some help from you
Grant us the faith to carry on
Give us hope when it seems all hope is gone
Cause it seems like so much is goin wrong
On this road we’re on

No, no no no
We can’t do this on our own
So, So

If I wrote a note to God

Don't hung up on me!

2009-05-19T16:46:00.002+08:00

Ms.L: i never liked that, don't ever do that anymore when i'm talking to you. don't ever say that i'm not interested to help when you never allow me to help because you've never help yourself.

Mr.K: get out from her life. stop bothering each other anymore. i don't wanna know for whatever reasons. just give each other a break.

Please help me instead.

Chicken & Byotch are born LOSERS

2009-05-16T15:39:00.011+08:00

Warning: What you're gonna read below might not be what I used to say out often, but in this situation, I had no choice left but to express it out this way as a 3rd party. Just bear with me lah. wtf.

Corresponding to rainbowwawa's 2nd day of May post and some other personal stories she told me, I see through how human can change in just a matter of second or days, it became worst when I also get to see a person who I once thought of highly (sorta) became a mouse or we could call him Chicken (in short Chick). Why do we call him that? It happened since he paired up with his new found love aka Miss-Runner-Up-Beauty-Queen, I call her Byotch or in other word Bitch, he is under her mighty thunder power of DO-NOTs. She totally ruined the image of a beauty queen by portraying childishness and inelegant. How sad, luckily she's just a runner-up.

Anyhoo, when Byotch became uncontrollably controlling like the ultimate remote control, Chick became like a toy car, going east or west according to his master. Like, you talk only when I asked you to, you shit only when I allow you to, you can't talk to any other girls or call them, I'll take over your facebook, email acct and etc. Things became interesting when Bitch pretended to be Chick to find out more about his past love life...well, from his ex lah. But when her identity leaked, she quickly switch to become the girl-next-door kinda, bff wannabe with the ex. She was telling stories about how happily ever after she was, 'bedtime' tales, create unnecessary stories and of course what most bitches do well is twist and turn the truth without covering her own backside. Stupidity is just the right and only word for her. Stoopid. All these seems like it's becoming her hobby, interrupting other people's life, creating mess, childish thinking, act foolishly and becoming the most annoying stupid fucked up bitch ever in this century. You're making a fool out of yourself. Get it? So stop acting and being fake. My 2 cents, be yourself, be that effeing bitch all the way aka the real you, let it bloom out for once and for all and stop bothering the innocents.

To sum this up, you both Chick and Byotch are losers who let past tense hunt you down for silly reasons we all will die laughing at. Go f*ck each other for goodness sake if you have nothing better to do.

What's DIRTY?

2009-05-08T18:25:00.002+08:00

YOU, YOU, YOU & YOU! Things surrounding us makes us dirty. Like...

CASH (after being passed around by few million hands)
LOVE (admit it, some play dirty, what's pure love?)
CLOTHES (it came out from the factory, laid on their floor, transported to several places and finally on the rack being tried on by many many people. try washing it, hang it, dry it, germs hang on it, and we wear it. repeat)
FOOD (we are what we eat, and we're full of shit)
WATER (filtered are still somehow dirty)
AIR (extremely polluted already, can air be filtered?)
MIND (it's all corrupted)
SEX (some love it dirty, don't get me started on SM, AV, Tom Dick & "Hairy" pussy. ooh! i already started)

What else? Tell me.

2009-04-15T23:07:00.012+08:00

Bland

2009-04-09T12:26:00.009+08:00

Give me inspiration & passion. Am suppose to write about Seoul while it's hot, but I'll just keep it to myself as I've cooled down. Many have already seen all the snaps in fb. so darn it, no stories just some other crap I'll trash out sometime later when the inspiration comes back.

Another S word. Neither Soul nor Seoul but Singapore. Went for a 12-hour air+road trip down to sg just yesterday. Each time when I'm away from town I'll try to record that place or space that I don't get to visit often, but not this time. It's just Singapore what. What's the difference? I thought. And I thought right. It's true. On my way home, when others make used of their time while on a road trip, me here just pluck in the earphones and sat like a paralyze staring out the windows. See how bland? I just felt mentally and physically exhausted due to some unforeseen circumstances which lasted since early Feb, I guess it's not unforeseen anymore when the situation lasted that long. It was something new and fun in the beginning but when things gone a lil' bit off it became a burden. When will this end? I asked a thousand time. Is this the correct direction. SHIT when I know you're taking me to the wrong path. AGAIN!! Yea, again. I have so many things in mind but because of all these shit I think without action which is so wrong. I need to get rid of my current problems 1st before I can go on. Can I just press a button to refresh? Allow me to do this aloud, HAIZZZZZZZZ!!!!! Ok. i feel better. who cares.

SHITTY STUFF: I'm at work now and my boss is kinda annoying eating very loudly and doing that tsk tsk tsk sound which I can't take it. Don't force me. I tell you it's damn effing annoying. Sorry to say, i wanna slap his mouth off.

Seoul Backpackers

2009-04-01T22:47:00.011+08:00

The place that I treated like home which cost me about RM306 for 6 nights + 1 night free. This is a place where you need not worry about language as the staff there speaks fairly good English. check seoulbackpackers.

Being in the town centre it is quite convenient as it is just minutes away from Hoehyeon subway station which is just a stop away from Myeongdong and Seoul Station.

and Namdaemun market is just opposite where you can get anything from clothes, shoes to food and even money changers working from a small stall that looks like an ice cream cart. basically it is similar to our pasar pagi but they're open from early morning till around 7pm with goods sold more suitable for mid age person. So if you're the hip and trendy one, visit this place just for food and cosmetic products.
you may also get lost because this place is huge and kinda confusing when you're not concentrating where you're walking about.from the vendor POV

Boarding Soon

2009-03-30T22:55:00.006+08:00

This is by far my longest flight. CX 420 flew me to Seoul city from HK with a stop over in Taipei. I was actually in 4 cities in a day from KL -> HK -> Taipei -> finally Seoul. Which means I get to have 3 in-flight meals, watch air stewardess do their routine, watch a couple of movies, and stick my butt to the seats for the longest time ever.
Landed in Taipei for 45 minsand meanwhile waiting I make used of my 45 mins in Taipei land which is to cover shots of an empty aircraft which we don't always get the opportunity to do it.

when we finally reach Seoul..I just can't wait to get to the hostel
the taxi driver told me it'll take 50 mins to reach...when we finally do, he speak something to me in Korean and I pretended to understand and even replied him in English. lol!
our small and cozy room at seoulbackpackers. A recommended stay to those who want it cheap.
until next S-City entry

Sonny Emory Drum Clinic - 7.3.09

2009-03-24T11:15:00.000+08:00

March 7 2009

I'm sure some of you have heard of Earth, Wind and Fire. I was lucky enough to meet the band's drummer Sonny Emory last Saturday during a drum clinic conducted by him at Yamaha Music School. What more can I say (jaw dropping already) when I get a chance to watch him demonstrating some of his drumming skills. The event started off at 7pm sharp with him walking in waving to us and straight to the snare without saying a word. Only pictures as video-ing is not allowed.

and later to his solo at the complete drum set. It was only an hour later that I started to breath normally, the other times I basically forgot to breath or holding it too long because I'm concentrating too much on his solo (call me kua cheong)

from the floor, Q&A session

and more demos, basically showing hands and legs movement techniques and explaining different kinda genre and the importance of knowing how to play all.

last but not least, autograph session. nervous-nya, so kind of him signing and taking pictures for everyone queueing there. It's every single one of us.

So nervous until I didn't know what to say. I should've said we really enjoyed what you did up there just now. It was fantastic. But instead I said:

Me: Hi, how are you? (stunned for a while because he asked me the same question at the same time. Lol!)

Sonny: How are you?

Me: Good

Sonny: Good?

Me: Yea, can we take a picture with you?

Sonny: Yes of course

Me: I gotta look good (in my heart). Thank you.

Sonny: Are you a drummer?

Me: I'm learning it.

Sis: My turn my turn

Sonny: No worries (stunned with sis's sampatness)

Me & Sis: Thank you very much (shake hands with him is a must la)

Sis says he looks a wee bit like Eddie Murphy

Gotta frame this up.

Soul still in Seoul

2009-03-23T14:59:00.005+08:00

Hey! i'm back, body here soul there though. What's expected happened, what's not expected happened too. ya know the fun of traveling is you won't know what to expect even though you've done all your homework and research until you're there experiencing the real deal. I must say I love the unexpected.

Vacation always comes in a standard package of fun, money spending spree, picture snapping and most of all tiredness, but it's fun to be that tired, to me it is. At least I got a whole week off from work which is heaven, the usual depressing news (not that I got depressed, but still), the drill, and getting outta here not seeing the common face that I see everyday makes me wonder why the hell people here look so unsurprising. It's either they try too hard or don't at all. Mind me, not all of them just most of them.

So another thing we learn while traveling is different kinda people with different cultures and languages. Talking about that as most of the Koreans don't understand a word of English here's the pros, you don't give a damn of what you said loudly even though you're gonna scold them aunties who push you around to make their ways or that uncle who just spit in front of you, that's what happened occasionally, and you can even gossip out loud about that good looking guys or girls across you, well that's what happened too just don't make it too obvious with the eye contact because that's universal language. And the cons, you look like a retard standing in front of these Koreans speaking something which you'll never gonna understand, at that moment sign language is the key or for bargaining it's a calculator. ah well, it's more pros than cons, I gained anyway. heh!

erm..ok for now, a whole week there and i'm missing it. What's left are my memories and photos of it, gotta dig it out to update soon. Catch up with ya.

until next time

Soul in Seoul

2009-03-15T00:36:00.005+08:00

Yay! the long awaited will finally be here. I'm leaving for Seoul in exactly 9 hours. Don't know what to expect there, except for the cold weather, tiredness is for sure, shop, food and a whole bunch of people speaking a language I wouldn't have understand.

until after Seoul

Sonny Emory Drum Clinic

2009-03-03T11:15:00.000+08:00

Although i've learned the instruments for years now, i'm still always amazed by how talented drummers/percussionist who owned the show with such strong feelings on the beats and good coordination. I'm lucky enough to grab a ticket to Sonny Emory's drum clinic this time around which will be held on March 7th 09 at Yamaha, KJ.

Sonny Emory, a native Atlantan who received his first drum set at the age of four is a graduate of Georgia State University with a Bachelor in Jazz Performance. A World Renowned Drummer and Grammy Award Winner, his proficiency and style have awarded Sonny the opportunity to record on platinum status albums such as the B52s' Cosmic Thing and Steely Dan's Grammy award wining Two Against Nature.

Though probably best known for his groundbreaking drumming with Earth, Wind and Fire, Sonny has performed with a virtual who's who in pop, jazz, R&B/funk, and country music including Stanley Clarke, Bette Midler, Paula Abdul, J-Lo, Lee Ritenour, Jean-Luc Ponty, Bruce Hornsby and Ricky Skaggs. He is also known for innovative visual effects during live performances that include exciting stick-twirling and back sticking techniques. With over 20 years of live performance and studio work behind him, Sonny is equally in demand for studio work as for what's delivered during live performances. This former member of the legendary group Earth, Wind and Fire held down the drum seat for 13 years.

Sonny believes that music is an essential ingredient to a well-rounded education. As a result to his commitment to young people, his endeavors are well-known throughout the Atlanta area. In 2006, he received an 11Alive Community Service award, a prestigious honor bestowed by a local television station. Sonny continues his commitment to young musicians by sponsoring a drumline makeover for his alma mater, Frederick Douglass High School and Nurturing the Gift Benefit concert to raise awareness to ensure music remains accessible to student musicians.

Currently finalizing plans for the beginning phase of Emory Performing Arts Center through annual drumset specialty music camp for drummers 11 years to adults. This camp provides an opportunity for campers to learn from leaders drummers and percussionist in the music industry. (source: Yamaha Music Malaysia)

Flowers Madness

2009-02-27T12:40:00.005+08:00

Just 2 weeks ago on v-day we were supposed to help a friend sell flowers at a special event, but when things went wrong and disagreement occur we ended up at the street instead, because we couldn't draw back as we've deposited for the flowers. There's a saying "the show must go on", so our "show" has to be performed. In my mind I was telling myself this is just for fun sake, not to pressure ourselves on the sales.
and there we go, taking the monorail heading to Bkt. Bintang street, where it is the busiest. As there are to many competitors who're selling at a dirt cheap price, we decided to head to Pavilion/Starhill area where most people wouldn't mind paying us more for a rose.
(sorry for the blur, just to show you what it is like to stand at the street for 3 hours straight)

and singing FLOWERS!!! FLOWERS!! FLOWERS?! FLOWERS? to the tame FLOWERS...hhmmm! repeat/loop 10,000 times in different tonality that you can find in the most complicated musical score of Mozart's. I've never spilled out that many "flowers" in my whole entire life compared to that day.
(and here again. flowers anyone?)

we even have our personal security guard who couldn't stand us girls being ill spirited. he even shouted his own version of "flowers".

but as things go on and on and on and on and on....we started to enjoy the whole process of it, even though it means zero sales.
but it couldn't be zero. our biggest customers are passed-by-drivers. one of them got 10 roses for his girl.
the big crowd is coming to us. it means money money money and singing more FLOWERS FLOWERS FLOWERS. lol!

all in all, we did enjoyed the talk to strangers, wishing happy v-day to everyone, laughing out loud at the street like nobody's business.

until next v-day

Regular. NOT

2009-02-17T10:52:00.004+08:00

Just, what is wrong with me. for 3 consecutive months already that i've fall sick. it was early Dec, then early Jan, now mid Feb. don't you find me ridiculously sick. i think an Apple a day is not enough. i probably need 2 cz i'm just so sick of it.

1st: it makes me feel so sleepy all day
2nd: it makes me feel like a piece of walking zombie
3rd: i'm so unconscious
4th: with the weather like this here, heating you from toe up i need to shower when i sweat a lot
5th: i even sweat while i'm showering
6th: sweat and shower, shower and sweat. wtf

it's like, Oh! Hie! it's "you" again. does this need to be as regular as my period, or even more.

Night shots of factories in Japan...awesomeness

2009-02-11T12:43:00.004+08:00

doing my daily drill googling around, i found some amazing shots done by God knows who. now that reminds me of an image stamp in my head since last October when i visited PD. it's not a picture, i've seen something like that with my own eyes while on my way there. i was amazed and almost shouted with joy as if i own the place. i hope to get back there some time if i ever remember which spot exactly it is at.

makes me wanna work in that factory already. lol!

view complete set here and check out the photographers' work

till then. have fun to d max.

she's just being extra cautious. don't mind her.
the big "M" loves you
the "M" that we love and hate. yeah, it's a love hate relationship sometimes.
just look at the brighter side and it'll shine through

Farewell Kay

2009-02-04T13:52:00.009+08:00

she's a 3 year-old sweetheart, adorable, smart, witty, talkative but she mixed up the meaning of comfortable and uncomfortable when she thought comfortable is uncomfortable and vice versa. she even have the guts to scold me once when she was about 2, it was when i cuddled her, rubbed her big round tummy with my face and forced her to call me jie jie while she was watching her favourite cartoon on tv, she basically just had her eyes on the tv all the time and ignored me totally, but when she can't take it no more suddenly she shouted out STOPPP ITTTTT!!!!!! to the top of her lungs with her eyes almost popped out staring big at me...i stoned for a while and started laughing after that. i must tell you, never messed up with a kid especially when they're into their favourite stuff.
my mom babysits her for 3 whole years and i seriously will miss lil' Kay so much now when she stop coming because she gotta go nursery and her mom decided to let her stay on at her nursery school till evening. poor kay, it's really sour to see her starve and don't get enough sleep, worst still when she sat at the door waiting for her mom to get her since 3pm. even cried everyday refusing to go to school in the morning. gosh! she's just a lil' girl, must she be treated that way? why not let her come to our house again. can? i hope she's fine.
and be as happy again.
and adorable.

i miss hugging you tight tight.

I survived January through The Secret

2009-02-03T12:25:00.004+08:00

it was a hardest month i had with all the changes in life. something that deep inside me cannot accept due to pride, after a month of struggling with my mind and heart disagreeing with each other which caused me to be so unhappy, i learned to accept the actual fact. after a month of stubbornness that shut my eyes to see beyond things that might be brighter than what i thought, i told myself that this has to stop and i turned to myself for help. picking up a self-help book that i left on the shelf halfway reading "The Secret" is really hypnotizing. at least i chose to do it on myself just to have a different set of mind to clear myself from all the negativity.

i don't guarantee myself on being positive all the time, but i tried. RESULTS, early morning has never been fresher, mind has never been so clear of what i want, my heart has never been so in peace, my smile lasted for as long as i could remember and am still smiling. i heard that when u're all positive, all the good things will come to you, luck will come to you, that's the law of attraction according to The Secret. so just think of it, feel it, experience it as if it is already happening, because you'll be surprise when it really happen.

so now, everyone lets just fix our mind up.

until next time

sneakers freaker

2009-01-22T17:47:00.004+08:00

i've been looking all around the shopping malls which exist in kl and pj but i can't seem to get any sneakers design that suit my taste (so-called). they just don't have enough variety here. or maybe they do, i donno.

well, so i went online researching and trying my luck and found karmaloop. they sure have a lot more to choose from and is just a matter of which one to go for, because if i'm spending on something more than RM200 online, i better make sure i get the right stuff. actually i always thought trying on and feeling the "real" deal is the best, but still will consider and give it a try as this site looks kinda decent.

ok. still can't make up my mind yet. will think hard. help me choose?

until next time.

I have neglected this for some time. Been busy with work and all, but still find time to listen to great music. I guess this album has been out for a while, but still would like to share it out.

结束十页的笔记记不住那一种感觉
桌上烦人的考题怎么算也都是无解
谁了解我救得了我

空气里有个声音偷偷说你没有用
你关心我的最近说你也有同样心情
面对这类的问题我们总是没有心力

钟声响起怎么继续
我跳不出相同逻辑
不断追着我整个学期

没有意外一直重来
也许真的还是一样的难
说过的那些话还是不明白
在谍对谍之间徘徊

没有意外又要重来
只好在图书馆找回一点浪漫
幽默的安慰着我然后笑着说
可能是
寂寞它考倒了我

这是以外我好想重来
只好在图书馆找回一点浪漫
幽默的安慰着我然后笑着说
就让我
寂寞考寂寞的过
寂寞的过
寂寞它考倒了我

结束十页的笔记寂寞还在我身边

Around the world in 80 years

2009-01-16T16:32:00.007+08:00

yep! it's 80 years. i couldn't afford it to be in days, hence in years. well i can't wait for another trip, i've just renewed my passport, fresh from the oven. so now 5 down 75 more to go.
blink of an eye it has been 5 years since i first held my passport. been to a few countries, not many ...countable as in:
Brunei - it was for work. didn't get to see much except for their famous palace.
Singapore - on a holiday trip with friends few years back.
Cambodia - picture credit to me. i like this very much as much as i like the country. unforgettable work trip i had so far.
Philippines - work trip too. all i remember was taxi drivers drive like mad lo. i almost flew out.
Hong Kong - crazy shopping, delicious food, went broke in 5 days time.
colourful Bangkok - crazy shopping and food too. went to watch the famous thai-girl show, what a bizarre experience!

Bangkok was the last trip i had before my passport expired last Dec. With the new one, i'm going to Seoul soon. My Soul is in Seoul now.

Six Feet Under

2009-01-07T12:48:00.003+08:00

It was stormy night before leaving the land soft and wet. Thunder strikes whenever possible leaving the lonely child on the street trembling and feeling hungry.

A few hours later, it is still drizzling. Feeling gloomy, they drag themselves to dressed up, put a lil' makeup on just to cover up those depressing face. While on the way, there was not a word spoken, just looking at each other's face, forcing themselves to pull a smile and struggling to hold back their tears.

Walking on the soft soil, all we can see is a piece of green garden like land. With a lil' wind and rain touching your face gently but all in your mind are just empty thoughts. Looking back from where the starting point is you are already half way through leaving footprints behind and it seems like it is taking forever to reach.

Feeling so strange, I hear people mourning and sobbing, I can hear the band playing music that I love listening to, I can feel the scent of roses coming through, I can feel the warmth surrounding me, I can hear the soil splattering as if it is just right in my face covering a whole me.

And suddenly it is just so silent now just like you're locked in a big dark gloomy room with no lights entering, I cried "can somebody hear me! Is anyone out there! I never wanted to be here!"

Here it is again!

2009-01-02T16:37:00.002+08:00

another year again...xmas and new year are passé now. getting back to the real world again. when people say new year new resolution, to me i never make any. furthermore i just read in the newspaper saying that it's not good that it'll affect oneself. psychology matters, you know.

i have so many, in fact too many thoughts to write in here i didn't know where to start. okay, let's start here.

my brain got stuck for a few weeks didn't know what to expect in this new year. got a lil' scared. alot actually. today or should i say this year it didn't started off well because i knew something unpleasant to me will happen. that particular something involving work is unpleasant only to me because i felt uneasy accepting what i am "force" to accept. to others you might think that it's no big deal. i was waiting for it to happen and it did.

Alternative, since i have no choice in that, i look for some other things that'll make me feel better and slowly free myself from it.

Well yeah, i actually do have a choice.

To my family, thanks for taking good care of me all the time. i donno how i should pay you'll back. nothing could describe how i felt when seeing you guys giving me without wanting anything back. i'm sorry for being selfish.

Friends out there, my big sis aka whom i call a friend too Shuen, UU, Datin Jess, Nette, thanks for having me and your thoughts for me, and especially Shen who let me listen to all your problems, though i know sometimes i can't help much, but the way u trusted me like nobody else does make me feel very comfortable having you around and as a true friend. What is a close/good and even best when we're not true. thanks. heart u lots.

For now, i just hope for something good to happen or shall i say make something good to happen. i just wanted to "live" better.

until next time

Tea Time

Time is ticking, time time is ticking so slowly i almost died of boredom. A friend said "really, serious?" and even joke with me saying that there's no case in history where boredom is the cause of somebody's suicidal act. Or maybe there is.

I'm not gonna commit suicide, don't be silly...So what did i do instead. I decided to eat these pathetic leftovers from the shoot last night.
Is there any difference between suicide and downing all these. Well, at least i get to eat before my last breath. Haha! just da kidding. These won't really kill me right? At least wait for my next post in here to find out. If you see it means i'm still alive to write.

Dead or alive.

等我煮個麵　等我煮個麵　等我煮個麵俾你食

Well, lately this line has been in my mind non-stop. Nolah, not because i like to cook instant noodles. Why then? simple reasons.

Reason 1. I got addicted ever since i got this album
scroll down to track no. 8 (sounds like lucky no. eh!) look for the word 即食麵 listen to it wait for the chorus and sing along 等我煮個麵等我煮個麵等我煮個麵俾你食.

Reasons 2. It's everywhere.. it's in my iTunes
i edited the chorus part. it's now my ringtone
so call me and let me 等我煮個麵等我煮個麵等我煮個麵俾你食
come tag along and 等我煮個麵等我煮個麵等我煮個麵俾你食 together gether la.

喂　吓　未呀　未食呀　你肚餓呀不如你過嚟丫　你過嚟我咪話你聽整咩嘢你食
你梗係唔知我係　入得廚房　出得廳堂好啦　我等你呀　OK　Bye Bye
我哋拍拖大約個零月度我發覺你胃口真係好好
我哋出親街食飯你都唔怕醜想食乜就嗌　係咁塞落個口
你唔係太肥　又唔係太瘦但係成日話自己個身材無得救
好又一餐　唔好又一餐我唔係講緊聽日
我係講緊今晚平時你話事　我由得你玩
但係今次你根本就無得揀嚟代表你對我係幾重要
我地唔洗出街　連外賣都唔洗叫　不如
等我煮個麵　等我煮個麵　等我煮個麵俾你食x4

我哋間中都會鋸扒　唔係嘅咪去食吓壽司　或者焗吓龍蝦
生日　聖誕　情人節　我哋多數都係會出街醫
有時唔係太肚餓　我哋就特登買一個order
然後一人一半咁分
食親洋蔥我就蠢　如果口臭嘅唔洗旨意同你打茄輪
唔怕　因為我已經準備左一包最新款嘅士多啤梨香口膠
試下我手勢　其他嘅無得比
我包你一定會食過番尋味
等我煮個麵　等我煮個麵　等我煮個麵俾你食
等我煮個麵　等我煮個麵　等我煮個麵俾你食
加兩滴麻油已經香過鹹魚　但係食神都話越簡單先難煮
煮個好麵最緊要係用心　蠟燭我都點埋　你仲唔夠冧
喺我個世界　你係第一
啲水一滾　就差唔多食得（得啦）
頂籠五分鐘　由頭到尾　喺五分鐘我已經可以愛上你（係啦）
雖然我唔係乜嘢廚師　但係我好肯定你食左呢一餐就會知
有你我個天永遠唔會黑
如果你想嘅我加隻蛋都仲得 (Come On)
等我煮個麵　等我煮個麵　等我煮個麵俾你食
等我煮個麵　等我煮個麵　等我煮個麵俾你食
等我煮個麵　等我煮個麵　等我煮個麵俾你食
等我煮個麵　等我煮個麵　等我煮個麵俾你食
