Bleh

Been missing in action for quite a while, well, 4 months plus due to my work and my work stress. Passion for photography nearly diminish and so did my time for my own leisure. Heck, my old job of 6 days a week didn't even eat up so much of my own leisure time.

With that said, I threw the towel and finally, my initial plan has taken flight. Now I'm bored in the office (still at work cause I have to wait confirmation from my HR dept. So slow.) early in the morning, typing and ranting away. Planning to go somewhere but no idea where to go. Gah. Even took the liberty of driving today cause I do not want to stay in the office and its my turn to set an appointment. Wonder when is my last day.... >_>

Anyhow, need to save up some cash now to get stuff I need. So much for the advise, take up any job you can find. I am grateful I have a job but it does not fit me well. Struggling like crazy for 4 months, pushing myself over 200% and still achieved nothing (well, there is something, just not enough.), met more people, expanded my knowledge more (sad to say but I know about this before I even started, apart from some changes), saw more shit (or less?) and more stress. xD

Boss just came in, and said something about the futures side better cut for no idea why since barely can hear what he said. And yesterday was on the equity market. @_@ This is confusing! Heck. Moral of my journey, don't just accept a job cause it pays good or you manage to get it. Best enquire it more, and getting to know the nature of the job. Whatever the title maybe; marketing executive, dealings, yada yada yada, best think if it fits and what you wanna do in life. I know a job is a job, which puts food on the table but if things does not work out, exit fast and find another job, or till opportunity arise.

With that said, I have been release from my job, but I'll linger around abit before I leave. Haha. Banking sector, you were never my line of work since the beginning and I know best but heck, like I said, I took the job cause of the pay and pressure from parents but now, it has shown and they know it. The best support came from my uncle way over at Bangkok, Thailand. He keep forcing me to quit as he knows my capability and strength, but I decided to strive on and try, but alas, I am where I am already. 4 months burnt and I managed to salvage out an xbox, 2 impromptu trips to KL, a miss flight cause of the bus, and last but not least, my car not being washed for nearly 2 months. Feel sad for me car. I'll bring it for a washing later when I leave the office.

I want to say, here is a picture for you to enjoy but who am I to lie.

Then again, new haul. Enjoy! xD


Longest post ever! For now la.

Cherrio~

Yo v.2

Revival after a long hiatus! Graduation came and go, and had to find work, so am working part-time. Very busy though being a part-timer cause 6 days a week working.

Anyway, playing with something new.

Enjoy.

The 'Miao'

The cat, pondering about her life while she overlooks the rain which was only a few feet away from her paws.

Taken using a 50mm F/1.4 AIS on a d80. Painstakingly manual focus and guessing where the DOF will land.

Enjoy.

Fatigue

Uni has taken its toil on me. Tired. I need some fun! Like, hard fun.

As usual. Picture spam.


Hehe. Not much of a spam anyway.

Ciaos.

The End is Near

Uni's going to kick start again soon, very soon. Haven't been doing much for the past weeks. Owh well. Least my brain has already been kicked into study mode weeks back due to a supplementary paper resit. Pray I'll pass that.


Cloud using Phoenix Down on his ally, while fighting Reno from Shin-Ra.

Been helping out the gangs at Boulevard for the CosVention which was quite successful. Met one KL friend who came back, Uepu.

Wasn't expecting much either since it was a first in East Malaysia, aside from Sabah I guess. Everything was kind of wrong. They were repeating Yui's song to the extend of me getting sick of my own favourite singer@songwriter. Should have a mix. And people singing Chinese song. So much for an Anime/Manga Con. We need more Jrock or Jpop.



Was surprise to see the amount of people who were actually interested in cosplay turned up, aside from the usual gang of people I know of. Think should really stir the interest here. Lots of people are interested in it, aside from people who really poke on it and being a pessimist about it.




One rarely get to see this stuff up close as it is quite a rare sight in Kuching. And not many people know how to get it. Even people come and ask if we were even selling this stuff which was only on display.


Heck, even those older than us were also involve in cosplaying, to the extend of bleaching and dying their hair like this dude here. Kudos to him for doing so.

Owh well. Enough for me.

For those in Kuching, and are interested in this stuff like cosplay and anime/manga related culture, there will be an similar event on the:

tHe Spring Mall
15th August 2009
No idea what time yet.

Sarawak Plaza
16th August 2009
I heard was somewhere in the afternoon.

Shopping malls now are really interested in doing this stuff since it really drag in the crowds. But heck, using it as a promotional tool to get business, we'll use it as an opportunity to spread the culture and awareness to the members of the public, aside from more Chinese songs.....

=\ Enough rants. Best get some shut eye. Ciaos.

Sunset Panoramic Kuching

Yo, how's everyone. Doubt much people read my blog, cept for looking at the pictures. Anyway, was freed from the clutches of the evil assignments and reports and freedom for a breather for a few days, went out shooting with a few buddies of mine so enjoy the photos.


Sunset. Using it as my wallpaper currently. Grab it if you like it. Just click on the picture. Remember, CC2 licence.

Now, back to studies and revision for finals!

Holiday, here I come.

Tara~

3/4 Dead

Well, life ain't what it used to be. So much ups and downs this time, and also, stuff happened which makes everything feels like one is standing on an ice sheet, never knowing when it will blob or even sink away or worst, give way.

Uni has been on its usual fits of tortures and evilness. This time, was armed and ready, almost.

Crappy shot. Just wanted to show ya'll how I had been doing my work. T_T But its a nice way to work. Less alt-tabbing between browsers, documents and slides.

Aside from that, managed to sneak in some time to shoot something. Feels like somewhat degraded and improved on some part of my skills. =\


I love this shot. Empty but nice.


HDRish in a way, I think... *friend said it looks normal.*


Cute dog.


Another shot I love. Also empty.


Hot chocolate, but not that nice. Tasted better. *Bali~*

Hrm. Okay. Now I'm bored.

I would like to thank a friend who borrowed me to fiddle around with their camera, this time, a Canon 40D. In my opinion, its a good camera. I love the grip compare to Canon's lower offerings (no hard feelings Canoners), and feels pretty solid. Dual it up against the Nikon d80, its a little tad heavier (minus the lens of course). Shutter sounds pretty different too.

Anyway, need to head back to uni again later for a meeting. And tomorrow night, my relatives are coming and I will be in near hell again for CRM final report for my finals.

Argh. Impeccable timing.

Canon 50D anyone? =D

Work, assignment and studies. How would life be without it? With minor assignments going to due soon, pretty much quite contented with what I have been doing, except the part of online discussion which is too damn formal, for what prefer from doing. Formalities should be exercised and used but at times, drop it. Makes things easier.


Doing some sketches for assignment. Talk about drawing. Miss the days when I last drew.

Now, I seriously need to carpool. There aren't enough spaces to go around for the new kids on the block nowadays.

Think my post is a bit weird. Owh well. XD I love life! Seriously.

PS: Notice there isn't a title? I'm out of idea for a title. Least blogger allows that.

Week 1

Week 1 of uni wasn't that bad consider I'm in my final year already.

Met up with quite a few people, rekindle friendship and met even more new people.

Assignment has already hit us hard as I need to submit an idea in another 2 weeks time so been cracking my head for a number of days.

Owh well, looking forward to classes then.


Radioactive Drink

Enjoy~

Another Beginning

Uni has started and wasn't so eventful. Managed to catch up with some old friends who were back and running around attending lectures and classes (wait, on a first week? Oh well.)

Weather was fine before that, then it just poured. Not that I'm complaining but hot weather couple with a crazy rain (Hey, welcome to Kuching) which never lasted for an hour (usually it does) and you get a very humid and wet air.


Bah, rained and stopped. What the... （￣へ￣）

After attending lectures, I reluctantly went home cause lecture was cut short due to a PC-less tutorial class. Besides, the lecturer has already prepared the stuff on slides, so wasted some time talking crap and stuff with the lecturer instead.

Home, this is how the weather was.


Around 30 mins or so later.


There.


The holidays have been fun, minus the boring part of doing nothing for days on end. Entertained myself on animes and music and my NDS games (Chrono Trigger is nice, so is Zelda and FF4 but all is near its end and I didn't want to finish them).

Had a few outings


A few gathering with a bunch of people


Some nice shots


And lovely mother nature doing her thing she's good at


Some boring outings also not to mention


And not so-much-fun Chinese New Year also. Feels like some other day.


Missing KL, or more precisely, Selangor


Drinking with my cousin


And the fun I had with my cousins


What a life.

PS: I noticed I haven't updated my sidebar. Owh well.

Around

I'm still around. Just nothing to post/blog about. Not much pictures to show because have not been shooting much lately due to the rain and more rain and rain.

Been quite bored so when the sun was up, went to take a few shots of something which I have wanted to do for months but never took the initiative to do it.



Uni is about to start. At last, something to do.

Titleless

Well, CNY is here and since I'm quite late, Happy Chinese New Year to those celebrating and happy holidays to those who aren't (well, its already the 3rd day so most of those working are back working already.)

Enjoy the shot I took on the eve's of the Lunar New Year.



=D

Indulgence

Result is out, apparently passed everything and everything is in order. So, had to have some something to celebrate about.

Last year has been well, and pray it will be better this year.



Don't drool over your keyboard.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

As said on the title. Cheers people!



PS: I know this is late.

PC-less

Out traveling and no computer to use.

Went out with Atzie and had fun, cept bloody Yes Man movie was darn potong-stim (KL Slang) and the movie ended abruptly. But I got to give it to GSC their seats are really nice and comfortable. Sad I was freezing my ass off due to the air-conditioning though.

Nothing much except Christmas is near.

Clueless

Nothing much happening except going out for yam cha during the nights with a few friends from KL most of the time. Aside from that, holiday seems boring.

Really need something to shoot.

Looking forward to Wednesday outing.



Just something out of random found from my hdd. Enjoy.

Back and... Missing

Owh well, nothing much to blog about. Lifes been.... dull ever since finals was over. Maybe something new in a few days time.

Anyway, just some stuff I dug up from all those pictures I have taken but no time to process. Converting RAW to jpgs are pain.



Enjoy.

Finals Has Arrived

Dead from dreaded assignments and short semester (somehow) and also, super pack 2nd semester, where there are always too many activities, its time to study (actually, been studying on and off for the past 2 weeks) and now, fully concentrating (just finished my final assignment).



Study time!

Ciaos~

Paintball in Kuching 2nd Round

This time, we all went loco and headed out for a fight again on the 4th day of Raya (well, it was a holiday and everyone needed a break from the constant nag by lecturers and assignments biting our arse) and grab a reservation in Sentosa Sports Center. You can find more information on the website and I do recommend it, aside from the little complain that the lighting is tad poor and the place is tad small. Rest, its good.

I'll let the picture do the talking. Forgive me for the not so good pictures and I had to tinker with it quite a lot to fix it as it wasn't taken by me. I was inside marking people instead with a marker!


2 Japanese friends new to paintball. Another friend was telling them what to do and whats not.


Ready!


*Peaking~*


*piew~ piew~ piew~*


Next round!


Military training?


One on one showdown!




*Aim~ aim~*


That dude is hiding.





"Go! Go! Go!" *running for cover*


Er... Commando maybe?




SWAT tactical style maybe. I reckon they both watched too much movies.


Sneaking around....


Ah. The marker. Tippmann 98 Custom with CO2 tank.


Ha, just had to do this.

Hrm...

Well, thats all. Hope it sparks the eagerness for those readers who want to try paintball. Its fun and safe, apart from the bruises.

Owh, did I mention the ground is sand? You can slide around but I don't really like it. Cannot sprint properly. All that energy absorbed into the sand. Wastage.
