Merdeka without the multicoloured moolahs!

i finally got my blogging mojo back and i got loadsa awesome crap to share with you guys!
awesome crap, ooooooooooooh! how awesome can crap be anyway.

post shall be written in my pangsai bahasa melayu to show my patrioticness, for once.


*test test video with high ISO* not bad.

semalam, kira-kira pukul satu satu, i dan papa mamaku pergi KLCC mau tengok bunga api.

omg. i look like a mata sepet fatty with black seaweed stuck in ma tooth.

kembali ke cerita saya, kami ber3 pergi ke taman di depan KLCC, tetapi bau rokok terlalu busuk and menyakiti.
seterusnya, kami pergi ke bintangBUCKS (starbucks) untuk minum dan relaks sekejap.
mana tahu orang di kaunter cakap "sorry, our espresso machine is down. we close at 11pm, its puasa month."
bola mata saya terus buka besar-besar. 0.0, "so got frappucino ka?"
orang itu, "yaaaaaaaaaa!". phew.

pada masa itu sudah pukul 11.30 malam, ada baris di bintangBUCKS sampai luar kedai.
apanilah, cakap mau tutup 11pm, tutuplah!

but abahden, masa sudah pukul 11.55 malam, kami tiga melepak di taman KLCC.
tunggu tunggu.

tiba-tiba, lampu semua tutup.
semua orang menjerit dengan penuh 'excitement', WOOOOOOH!

11.58 11.59 12.00

semua orang "WOOOOOOOOH" sekali lagi.
tunggu tunggu, 12.01.
eh tak ade bunga api ke??!

kedengaran beberapa mat rempit, "MERDEKA! MERDEKA!"
macam mahu attention je.

PUI.

12.05 dah.
orang polis atau bukan polis tu, entahlah, tapi pakai baju hijau tu cakap BALIK BALIK.

cheh. tu saje??!

lebih baik pergi camho di sekitar KLCC/mandarin oriental lahh!






omg macam batu!

abahden balik rumah lah.

bazir 8 ringgit park kereta di mandarin oriental jeh.
bazir lungs saya menghirup bau rokok.
tapi tidak bazir 11.05 ringgit 'tall caramel cream, extra caramel'. yummmm!

aduh. enough broken malay. got malay homework to do later =/

but anyway, i remembered last year at dataran merdeka. without a dslr, yuck.
this year, i even brought my tripod and end up looking like a tourist with bags all around me JUST TO TAKE NICE FIREWORK PHOTOS.
sigh, mana tahu.

oh well, yipppeeeee malaysia, your 52 years old now! (still younger than my parents teeheeee!)

happy merdeka!

i eat with a spoon.

the word is ouch.

AWWWW man. i could have been at 1850m above sea level watching multicoloured moolahs flying everywhere in the cold.
instead, im here on my sista's macbook camwhoring trying to past time.

OR I SHALL ANNOY MY PAPSIES AND MAMSIES TO BRING ME TO GOVERNMENT SPONSORED 10 SECONDS LONG MULTICOLOURED MOOLAHS WITH malays.

i dont know. BUT I SURE AM NOT STAYING AT HOME!

#4 plan and go on a road trip

YIPPEEEEEE! another thing crossed off my project sweet16 list =)



elaborated post about this later. GOT A BUNCH OF PICS to post process and im choosing which i should send off as postcards =)



till then, the pics are rather yucky but the fun was rather SUPER UNYUCKY =)

totally unrelated peice of rant:
AIYOH. apa ni lah. say can go can go then confirm de "i cant go lah!!" wthbbq?!
HECK. dont expect me inviting you for another roadtrip EVER.

im still stuck in KL =,= i find it rather disgusting to be here.
the air here is smelly and stuffy. the rain here is all so acidic. i live too near to school, it just reminds me of school and all the utterly disgusting homeworks. yuck!

IM SO GLAD i actually got away.

gotta get get!

#1, #5, #6

ALL YOU PEOPLE OF THE WORLD!
LOOK OUTSIDE THE WINDOW AND LICK THOSE CRYSTAL CLEAR HAZE FREE CLOUDS!
while stocks last =)

hey ho, i totally forgot - holidays are when im the busiest.
today is the only day i get to do things for myself with myself and myself.

i said that every 2 days im supposed to complete something off my projectsweet16 list right? today is the 4th day and im here to tick 2 THINGS OFF MY LIST!

#1 decorate my orange wall.

i now have an extra fan in my room! its getting hotter these days.
i also decorated part of my wall by pasting another list - the projectsweet16 list.
one more, im gonna drill my corkboard unto my wall with photos of hmm, we shall see.








the look on mama's face when she saw the projectsweet16 list. i bet she thought it was lame.


#5 go for a midnight bike ride
i had to alter the conditions of #5, the bike isnt with me anymore.
i introduce to you the new #5!
#5 go for a midnight lok lok



i know the background says oldtown but we went lok lok after that =)
funny bunch of people.

happy 1daylate birthday sean!

on a second note, i shall tick one more off my list.
#6 make a short film



have a sweet 16 shereeen!

project sweet16

i love saturdays. i love waking up to the rain. i love the clouds.

right here i present to you another photo essay. enjoy!










to be frank, i think i am a fairly nostalgic person.
i like to think of the past, i like hearing beegees and the beatles, i like black&white photos, im amazed by the invention of film....
the list goes on and on if i wouldnt stop myself.

this is why i have decided to think of the future instead.
im gonna make a list of things ill do before my sweet 16 - exactly 32 days from today.
here goes a list of fairly random goals!

#1 decorate my orange wall.
#2 create five postcards and send them.
#3 photograph strangers.
#4 plan and go on a road trip.
#5 go for a midnight bike ride.
#6 make a short film.
#7 write a letter to myself.
#8 record an overheard conversation.
#9 take 15 minutes to eat a fruit.
#10 give away something i love.
#11 draw the same object every day for a week.
#12 do nothing.
#13 burp 3 times in a row.
#14 take a picture of a different person everyday for a week.
#15 celebrate merdeka!
#16 turn 16 years old

ill have to cross something off my list every 2 days. fingers crossed!
what do you think i should add to the list?? hmm. leave a comment!

First ever MOVIE!

ccccccc-rap! i still havent found a name for my cute stuff.

today, i found out how torturing hard it is to friggin edit a video! oh, and how even more torturing it is to take a nice video with a great shiz storyline accompanied by a greater music with great actors.
it makes me more appreciative of movies =) ILOVEYOUBETHCOOPER i wanna watch you!

all that was proven with my very first video recording on the new 500D.
the first recording was actually of me bouncing around my room but this is the first movie im showing from the 500D. gottabenooby!



Just a slight introduction to the video entitled Friends. I tried to make it as enjoyable and easy-viewing as possible but gahhhhhh! It wasn't that bad la I think. but i wanna know whether you think it was GOOD or BAD.

I uploaded it unto Youtube but it says "This video is not yet processed." so ill be back in a jiffy to continue this.


There it is! phew, my video passed processing, some random huge music company didnt claim copyright for the songs I used.

Photographer's note.
Taking videos on a dslr isnt easy at all! It was rather hard to stabilise the camera making it shaky. It was even harder because I had to predict what happens next. the worst part was MANUAL FOCUSING. the nifty fifty lens is no way made for manual focusing!

just some note to get me off the hook in case i get hooked:
DUDE THESE VIDS WERE TAKEN BEFORE SCHOOL - free time.

On a different issue, i smell HOLIDAY!
today marks the start of a week and a day of holiday! oh and the MERDEKA celebrations, hmm im thinking, dataran merdeka with mamsies and papsies or genting with friends. either way, im about to have fun =)

but today was rather sad too, jeng yann was leaving to cempaka school. guys were crying everywhere! GUYS! as much as the class bullies him, today everyone took turns to say bye and we even said a prayer for him. aww.
but that farewell thing soon turned into shereen's birthday celebration, teeheeeee. what a way to mix your feelings up!

=D cant wait till we give her THE BIRTHDAY PRESENT =) =) 4arts, you know what i mean =)

MUAHAHAMUAHAHA - 500D!

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. MOJOJOJO! MUAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAA.
MUAHAHAHAHAHHAA. MUAHAHAHHAA. MUAHAAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

i am the LUCKIEST ASS ON EARTH NOW. beat that beat that!



no man it aint just this.



its. its. its.

MY MOMMA FOUND THE WARRANTY CARD FOR THE OLD CANON 1000D!



but the best part was.

MY OLD CAMERA IS ALL A-OKAY WAITING FOR ME TO COLLECT IT AT THE CANON SHOP FREE OF CHARGE.

if i bought my new camera on saturday, i would have been totally BUSTED.
but now, i have 2 cameras. MUAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA. MUAHAHAHHAHA.

phew, LUCKILY I BOUGHT 500D in time yaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

oh my it just occured to me how much pain it would be to buy the next lens. NO WAYYYYYYYYYYY!

slideshows are great for grownups =)

lee yee hern

Today, friends and family, is the birthday of mr Lee Yee Hern. He is none other than the fake boyfriend lookalike dood and somehow someway the world still thinks were a couple =)

Just a little trip down memory lane and YOU HERE READING THIS have gotta click play!
for the bluesy effect


We go back as old as 2007

freakishly puny innocent minds =)


that time, it was just roy yeehern and me in our own freakishly puny innocent worlds.


then me and roy brought him to church and we took a pic with pastor mesiti


and this was during my birthday outing thingmajig. OMG look at all our puny baby fats =0


heeeeeyahhh jump jump.


we did what normal people do, take pictures with life size cardboards


and poke our faces through even gianter cardboards

but the dumbest picture we ever took

i mean, who are we kidding, we are not LOVE BUNNIES

there you go, ugly puny pathetic pictures from the yesterdays.

entah nak cakap apa lah.

oh shall i talk about the surprise birthday party which ended up not being a surprise party we threw him?

super entah nak cakap apa so imma SUPER SUMMARIZE IT.


kidnap the bike. bloated hawker dimsum. disastrous cake baking. laughing game of taboo. playhouse disney.
burnt barbequed food. spooky toothpaste sabotage. pitchdark playground with candles. sweet ol’ birthday song.

back to the party, i absolutely would love to have pictures of it but hooohoooo i dont have a nice chikychaky to use.

it was a GREAT NIGHT indeed.

last words before i head off,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOYFRIEND!

bicycles.

moving forward, actually. but not too fast till it hurts your puny ass.

dum dee dee dee dum dum dum.
u think 2690 malaysian kechings is worth a fresh sparkling new 500D?

sue says, 'HEAVEN YEAH!'

but stash of cash inside cardboard savings box says "HEAVEN NO!"


please mamsies, please papsies. ill take beauutiful pictures of you if you want me to!

good news or bad news first?

the bad news is
i got into a hugeass bike accident and now my ass hurts.

but the good news is
my mamsies and papsies are actually asking around the price of a 500D! hurrah!
it has been 2 weeks and 1 day since i lift MINT the 1000D =D
but if i eventually get a 500D, mint is gonna turn into rusty and ill think of a new, spazzy name! hoorah!

till then, dont expect many humangously nice posts because you wont get em.

it all seems so magical

for the love of myself, i shall tell you what i do when im bored at home, all alone, feeling so down and lonely.

i take a bunch of magic keys although i'm not supposed to.
[play] "USE THIS ONLY FOR EMERGENCY". [stop]
nevertheless, i still carry on with what i do.
i use those magic keys and unlock a magic grill, the grill that sets me apart from the cold, windy, chilly, fresh air outside.
i then slam the grill open, i really do mean slam, like BAKKKK!
here comes the fun part.
i take my camera out and just sit down there for hours, pressing every single button on the camera.
but here comes the good part.
i then fall asleep on my 12 inched soft bed =)

this my dear dogs and cats, this is the one and only magical view from my magical window! plain and boring huh? wait till you see what i do with it =)


boys and girls, chickens and ducks, HERE i present to you, my work of art.


i would really tell you how i did it, but with my very lame explaining skills, id bore you with all my technical mistakes.


BOKEH + SLOW SHUTTER + CAMERA SHAKE + me!


if i feel good tomorrow, ill probably blog about the things ive learnt since i got a dslr =) those stuff are real.
but today's magical stuff, theyre partly FICTIONAL.

sigh those canon technicians still hasnt quoted me the repair cost after 2 weeks for MINT the 1000D. mama mia.
2 weeks to quote the price, now how long would it take for the repair then?

the making of.

it has been sooo sooo boring at home these days without my camera =(
i should really give it a name, shouldnt i?
ok here goes, ONCE AND FOR ALL. i shall name my canon 1000D

wait, is it a girl or a boy? because i tried searching for names on the internet and theyre all categorised by gender.
but then i found out, there were such things as "unisex names". but to think again, my camera aint a human in the first place.
sure i could name it after a popular celebrity but i rather not, im no huge fan of anyone.
thats why, ive came up with a really super duper great idea!

im going to name it after a food =)
laksa is yummy but it sounds so apekish, like one of those mat rempits haha
gelato sounds kinda coool ayyy?!
but NO im no french ice cream owner =)

thats why, I HAVE CHOSEN TO NAME IT.

mint
mint is my fav gelato flavour, oooh yummy green fungus looking stuff.

oh shit. i feel so lame now.

at least i did what i wanted to do today =)

1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 - 11

windows closed. doors locked. speakers blasted.
I GOTTA FeeeeeEEELING
that sweet dang feeling of touching something black =) after 9 long dreadful days of not touching a dslr, its time.
eh, no i didnt convince my parents to get me that 500D (but i think it would be sooner or later =D)
its just the school's nikon d40. it aint super but still it is what it is =)

nothing big, just a club photoshoot =) hmm, first page of the school magazine? coloured?
nyehehehehehhehehe.

group shots are not meant to look nice, theyre meant to show your tiny little puny bobbed head so the world can see you exist =)

benjamin yap - editor with his sakai flower


wannabe high school musical jumpers which failed and i end up being the sexiest one because i didnt jump =)


we are just two less lonely people in the world and its gonna be fineeeee


i wonder what would happens if we eventually decide to use this =)
omg how do lalas edit their photos anyway, TEACH ME.


hahaha hope this was "entertaining" enough =) cheers.

owh i forgot to say this. yesterday's post about the whole rejection story is partly fictional. cmon, my life aint that dramatic.
FICTIONAL = made up = BLUFF
