photography

I’ve decided to take up photography seriously. Which means that I have to invest on a good DSLR.

Have just receive the issues of Digital Photography from Megalunatic (photomalaysia.com) and I can’t seem to put it down. Browsing throu it makes me wanna go out and get myself a DSLR, set up my own little studio and start shooting. Photography equipments are not cheap…. Geeshh….
And there’s so much to learn…. Got to start saving now… At the main time I guess I have to live with my PowerShot A95.

RM100 down and RM5600 to go…. WOooo Hhhoooo….

my first trip

Finally got a chance to go on a business trip. A trip that is paid by the company.... No worries on accomodation...food.... or transportation.... Woo hoo….
Not that I’m complaining about the place that I’m about to adjourn in a weeks time.
But my first business trip to overseas, is to some INDUSTRIAL area at Jakarta Timur. I thought I would be stuck at the industrial area for nights. Lucky me, they have put us at the center of Jakarta. I think.
An hour or so from the PuloGadung.

But the ‘advices’ that I’ve been getting has not been very appealing..

“ Don’t go out at night alone.”
“ Don’t walk around alone. ”
“ Don’t do this…..”
“ Don’t do that….. “

Fine.. I thought to my self. Just stay close to my coll. Checked out the place that we were going to stay and this is what I found this on the hotel site…

decisions

I’m a very fickle and indecisive person. I can’t decide on my own and when I do… I have doubts on my decision. As I get older, it tends to get more difficult. And I tend to stay in the moment where I can just ignore my thoughts and feeling and hope that it will just disappear. But reality does come back and decisions have to be made. I’ll either be an impulsive decision maker or I’ll just let it sits there and hope that it will fly away… far far away.

crazy weekend


I’m a Swedish Girl

The weekend was a blast. Liz came up from Singapore. Suppose to go clubbing on Friday night but instead we hanged out at the hotel room and drank. We were acting crazy as if we had loads of liquor. And the thing is, we only had a glass of Malibu. When she’s around, everyone will laugh their heads out, weather they like it or not.

Saturday was another fulfilled day, thou I did regret cutting my hair.
Told Liz about Shawn’s style the day before and the girls decide to go to Peek A Boo to try out Shawn. As usual, he’s appointment is always full so we decide to go straight and check out weather he would be able to slot Liz in. Went to the shop at Taman Tun, and was disappointed to know that Shawn was in The Curve! Where we came from!!,,,, Bloody hell!!.....

“Since when he’s there?” I asked.
“Only until end of this month.”.. the girl said.

Ish Ish… that is what u get when u don’t call first.
So we decide to go treading first in Bangsar. Had Lunch then head back to the Curve.

“Shawn is fully booked. You mind trying someone else?”.. the girl behind the counter asked.

Since Liz was fine trying out someone else … JT just wanted to trim her hair…
Fine… trying to be adventures… I said okay without knowing who the hair stylist is going to be.

It’s been a while since I’ve let anyone touch my hair. Ever since I’ve tried out Shawn years back. I like his style and I trust him. Trust is very important when it comes to hair. They have to know what they are doing. How to improvise the hairstyle, to the look of the person.

The out come of my hair was not what I’ve expected!. It reminded me when my hair was growing from my dare daring shaving experience years back. Arrgghh...

Later in the night we head up to Friendster for dinner and shooting. Bastard was totally wasted at Pang’s bachelor night. Took a few pics while he was puking. Yuckss!! I can’t believe that I manage to snap it…. It totally gross me out when his ‘tap’ started pouring.

Liz did some crazy things to him when he was dropped dead. If only I can share the video clips…. LOL…

We left both of them in the hotel room and only God knows what happened after that!


We head down to Johor the next afternoon to shoot the bride’s side. Took and day trip cos there’s nothing much to do down there. Reach home at 4.30am. I’m getting sick of Johor and the journey there. Gosh, and I need to head down there in 2 weeks time again. HELP…….
