Penang 2nd Round

This Time I Went With Adel

Will Update About It Soon

The Oddity Is Unnecessary

We Paid 35 Cents For Parking =O

Men With No Conscience

Democracy Is A Form Of Government In Which A Few Of The Most Prominent Citizens Rule

Agreed?

Elephant Binder Clips

Would You Mind Staying In A House Like This ? =)

So After We Checked-In And Settled Down, My Dad Decided That We Walk Along Jalan Penang Just For The Fun Of It..

Pretty Interesting..

Penang Has A Truly Unique Atmosphere.. At Times It Feels Really Hectic , Yet At Other Times Everything Just Seems To Fall Into Place Perfectly

It's Special In It's Own Way

From The Truly Funky Traffic To The Rugged Buildings

Ahhh..

But I Guess I Wasn't There Long Enough To Truly Discover Penang?

A Chicken Rice Stall Along Jalan Penang

So, You Just Gotta Experience Penang For Yourself

If You're The Type Who Appreciates Cultural Heritage

You Won't Regret It

But If You're The Type Who's Looking For Shopping Haven

I Guess Not

KL Is Then Just The Place For Youuu

But If You're The Type Who Want's A Truly Relaxing Holiday

Head To The One And Only.. Redang Island

Sigh

Semester Break Holiday Time Not Spent Wisely..

Repenting =(

I Would Have Let You Leave

Beeee Buuu

Alrighttt, Attachment Is Done

& Results Are Fineee

Yet

Only 2 Weeks Left Till Sem 3 Begins =\

Sigh Sigh Sigh

Time Is Passing By So Rapidly

This Year Feels Truly Different As Compared To Previous Years

Time Seems To Just Be Moving Faster

Too Fast In Fact

I Seem To Not Be Making The Best Out Of It

Yet.. Though I'm Whining And Complaining .. It's Not Like I'm Putting Effort To Do So

Huhu.. Such Procrastination D=

And For The Coming 2011 Orientation

Ahh, So Much Planning To Do =(

Pfft

Can't Wait To Go Back To Penang Again At The End Of This Week

This Time Am Going With Adeline

Another Hopefully Relaxing Holiday =)

Pic Taken At Fort Cornwallis

Pic Taken From The Inside Of My Dad's Car =D

Love The UV Filter Effect

That Was The Hotel We Stayed At For A Night

Pretty Decent And Affordable

Time For Some Orientation Planning

Eeeps

With Me

Celebrations Ceases With Desperation

Here Are The Three Pictures I Submitted For This Year's Canon Photo Marathon

* Re Edited *

Theme 1 : Eyes On EOS

So Basically.. This Shot Was A Flook

Initially I Planned To Do A Reflection Shot Of Myself With This Camera Strap

So I Went To This Abandoned School Called The "Shih Chung High School" Hoping To Get My Shot..

And Like All Abandoned Buildings , It Was Apparently Haunted

But To Me The Building Was Spectacularly Beautiful.. Didn't And Still Don't Know Why

So When I Got There,

I Just Stood In Front Of The Building Hoping That There Would Somehow Be A Big Reflection Piece Like A Mirror Or Something

Sadly There Wasn't..

And I Then Ended Up Stoning For Quite Some Time Cause I Didn't Dare Enter The Building Alone

=X

My Dad Did Try Helping By Suggesting Some Ideas..

But I Guess I Was Always Over Thinking The Theme

I Shall Upload Some Shots I Took Of Him When We Tried His Ideas Out

So After 30 Minutes Of Stoning

I Noticed This Little Bug On The Floor =D

So Tadaaaa, Took Quite A Number Of Shots Of It

It Tried Running Away

And I Was Basically Torturing It =X

Always Pulling It Back So That I Could Take Shots Of It

So In The End I Got This Shot Which I Submitted

It Was Spontaneous But I Like It =)

Theme 2 : Humanity ( Picture Majorly Edited Due To Privacy Reasons )

The 2nd Picture Was The 1 I Was Most Happy Of

Initially I Wanted To Take Pics Of Monks Praying

And My Dad Wanted Me To Take Pics Of Normal People Praying

But I Figured That It Would Be Too Common

And Since On That Day Itself There Was A Celebration Of The 9th Emperor Of Something Like That

That Type Of Shot Would Be Even More Common

So We Then Just Decided To Go To A Siamese Temple And Venture Around

And So I Saw These "Reserved Spots"

Hmm.. My Interpretation To This Theme Was Basically

To Every Life , There's Death

What Matters Most Is What Happens In Between And How We Make The Best Out Of It

So We Gotto Cherish This Priceless Gift From God =)

Theme 3 : Delicious

For This Shot

I Guess I Picked The Wrong Model

My Interpretation Of Delicious Was To Find A Rugged Looking Homeless Person Eating A Piece Of Plain Bread Which Although Looks Horribly Plain To Us, It Was Truly Delicious To Him/Her

I Saw This Lady The Night Before Along Penang Drive By The Alley

But It Was Quite Dark So I Couldn't See How She Looked Clearly

So On The Day Of The Competition Itself

I Asked My Dad To Bring Me Back There To The Alley

And Weirdly o.o She Looked Pretty Clean And Well Nourished And All o.o

But Yea, After I Took This Shot

I Still Wasn't Truly Satisfied

But Owing To My Condition

I Couldn't Go On Anymore

The Headache Killed Me

If Only I Had A Better Model

Nonetheless I'm Grateful She Willingly Allowed Me To Take Pics Of Her =)

So, Could You Relate My Pictures To The Theme Given? =)

Do Give Your Honest Comment

& Please Do Watch The Video Below About The Story Of Stuff

It Helps To Know..

If You Are A Kind And Caring Person

Which I Know You Definitely Are

You Would Willingly Spare Your Time For This Video Below

Realisation Is A Step To A Better Life

The Change

Picture Taken In.. None Other Than McDonalds

This Years Canon Photo Marathon Was Among The Best

The Flow Of The Event Was Definitely Smoother And The Concept Was Slightly Neater As Compared To The Previous 2 Years..

(The 1st Year Itself Was Good But I Guess It Just Wasn't Viable For A Larger Scale Crowd)

Just A Recap

Canon Photo Marathon (CPM) Is A Photography CompetitionWhere Participants Are Required To Take 3 Photos According To The Thee Given Themes..

A Photo For Each Theme And A Panel Of Judges Shall Decide On The Winners On That Day Itself

For This Years Event

I Was Having A Partial Fever During The Event

So Every Time After A Few Shots

I Needed To Take A Break

Other Than That, As Compared To The Previous Events Which Were Held In KL

This Year's CPM Was Held In Penang

It Opened My Eyes To The Wonders Of Penang

No Joke o.o

Am Truly Fascinated With Penang..

Am Not Saying This To Suck Up Or Some Crap ( No Reason To Anyway )

But Penang Has It's Own Atmosphere That Somehow Keeps Me Wanting For More

The Father And His Son

& My Dad Was My Hero For This Year's Event As Well =)

He Willingly Took A Day Off From Work

Just So That I Could Take Part In The Competition

( I'm Truly A Spoiled Son )

But I Could Tell That He Needed Some Time Off From Work As Well
He Was Always Delighted To Bring Me Around Penang And Show Me The Places He Like Or Love

From Gurney Drive To Batu Ferringhi

It Was A Short Holiday We Both Needed

So This Years Themes Were

1. Eyes On Eos

2. Humanity

And

3. Delicious

From My POV Of My Own Shots, I Guess I Over-thought The Concept

Nonetheless I'm Proud Of It..

As Compared To The Previous Years , Where I Was Always Frustrated With Every Shot I Submitted ,

For This Year I Felt Good With My Shots

And Although I Didn't Manage Bring Home A New Camera

I Guess It's The Experience That I Believe Was More Worth It For Me

4 Years Of CPM

Which I Believe The 1st Year Was A Flook , The 4th Year Was The Year I Learned The Most =)

I Shall Upload These Pictures Once I Download Them Into My Laptop..

Will Explain How I Thought Of It As Well

Some Of You Might Not Get The Idea Of My Pictures

But It's Okay

Like I Said.. I Over -thought The Concept

It Was Somehow For Me Truly Thinking Outside The Box

=)

Theories That Conspire

I Just Got Back From A 3 Days 2 Nights Trip To Penang And Taiping

Ahh.. Penang Was Awesome

I Never Expected Penang To Be So Historically Breath Taking.

I've Underestimated The Beauty Of Penang

From The Abandoned Buildings To All Of The Colonial Buildings

Am Already Planning My Return To Penang.. Hopefully At The End Of This Month

My Previous Visit To Penang Was So Long Ago That I Guess I Was Just Too Young To Truly Appreciate It.. But This Time.. Am Truly Amazed With Heritage Of penang

But The Main Reason I Went To Penang Wasn't Just As A Normal Weekend Trip..

It Was To Take Part In Probably My Last Year Of Canon's Photo Marathon Event =(

Although I Had A Horrible Headache And Cough Through Out The Day

Its Safe For Me To Say I'm Glad With What I Shot That Day

Will Update More About It Tmrw

I Have To Get To Bed Since I Have Attachment At The Tropicana Hospital Tmrw

Eeepss

Gniteeee

Party Poison

Hooooraaaaayyyy

I'm Getting My Camera Back Today

Yet , I'm Having A Bad Flue And A Minor Cough Right Now

Hate My Nose Hate My Nose

My Skin As Well

Everytime Ah Fook Touches Me Or I Touch Him

I'll Get Rashes

URGH ! ! ! Annoying ! ! !

Yesterday, I Tried Building A Softbox

I'm Halfway Through It Right Now

But Currently I'm In Need Of A Second Hand Tripod

I Wouldn't Mind Those Flimsy Ones

The Ones You Get For Free When You Purchase A DSLR Camera

Am Willing To Buy It But At A Reasonable Price

If Anyone Has A Tripod They're Not Using

Do Email Me =D

Sean2040@hotmail.com

Besides That

I'll Be Going For Canon's Photo Marathon This Year In Penang

It'd Prolly Be My Last CPM I'll Be Going For

My Dad Is Bringing Me Again This Year

I Can't Seem To Thank Him Enough

Really Appreciate It

Although It's Far

He's Willing To Take Me There

Hopefully Penang Won't Be Jam Or Crowded

Penang.. HERE I COME

( Actually I'll Be Leaving Tmrw On The Friday )

Eepsss

Am Hoping For The Best

For The Literate

That's Bryan Yu..

Some Of His Sarawakian High School Mates Decided To Throw Him A Really Small Surprise Post-Birthday Celebration

And As You Can Tell From His Expression

He Was Truly Delighted

After That He Was Pretty Much Speechless

Happy Belated Birthday Brian =D

So , For The Past Whole Week I've Been Doing Nothing Much Productive

Most Of The Time I End Up In IMU Just To Hang Out With Some Peeps

Plus With My Camera Gone

I Feel So Empty =(

Hmm.. At Least Now In The Pharmacy Batch

I Have Another Batch Mate Who Has Just Gotten Into Photography

Now At Least I'd Have Someone To Go Photo Hunting With xD

He's A Canon User As Well

I Hope To Travel Far Travel During This Semester Break.. Away From KL & Selangor........

But I Guess It's Just Far-Fetched

Everyone's Too Busy And It's Merely Impossible To Persuade My Parents To Bring Somewhere.. Sigh

Anywhooo , These Are The Sarawakian Peeps Looking Down At Some Of The Hydra ( IMU Green House ) Peeps Practicing Their Cheer Routine

Markie From Phoenix ( Red House)

Jie Chong

A D80 User

This Pic Is Slightly Corrupted D=

The Other Pictures Right After This Picture Were Fully Corrupted........

So Basically , For The Past Two Months

IMU Studs Have Been Busy Preparing For The Cheer Competition

The Cheer Competition Was Held Yesterday

And I Gotta Say.. Great Effort From The IMU Studs

Enjoyed The Performances Just Now

And Don't Worry.. At Least You Guys Made New Friends And Filled Your Free Time With Something Productive ( I Think )

No Pain.. No Gain Yo

Jafri & His Brother

Since Jafri's Flight Got Delayed On Tuesday

We Went To The Airport Again For A 2nd Farewell On Thursday

I Didn't Take Much Pictures Cause We Were Basically Camwhoring More With The Polaroid Camera ( And Also The Battery Of The DSLR Was Flat )

And Since All The Prints Are With Jafri

Gotta Wait Till He Scans Them Pictures

Ahh Jaf, Do Take Care Of Yourself Bro

LOL , Hope To See You In Jan ( That's If I'm Not Busy )

Will Miss All Your Awkward Movements And Gestures xD

Blur Pic* Sorry

Jafri.. Walking Seriously With His Brother Lugging Around His Luggage xD

He Somehow Looks Like An Astronaut -.-

With His Jacket And Khaki Pants xD

Well.. It Is Basically "Mission To Mars" For Him

Hopefully It Isn't A Huge Culture Shock For Him In India

Haha , Write Back To Us Asap Bro

Takeeee Careeee

Vanilice

We Probably Shouldn't Talk

Cause Talking Leads To Thinking And

Eyes Wide Open Blank In The Dark

We Probably Shouldn't Think

Cause Thinking Leads To Questioning And

Circles You Right Back To The Start

Luggage Taken Down

Never Mind .... On The Lighter Side

Jafri Has Just Left For India To Pursue His Medical Degree =(

He Was Supposedly To Have Left Malaysia On Monday The 4th

But Unluckily He Suffered From A Quite Major Food Poisoning On That Day Itself

So Somehow He Was Unfit To Fly

Jaf At The KLIA Clinic

We Knew Something Was Bound To Happen

But We Didn't Expect That It'd Be Something Serious Like That

We Thought For The Most, He'd Forget To Bring His Phone Charger Or Misplace His Passport

But, Yea.. Because Of Some Rotten Char Keow Teow He Ate At The Curve

He Had To Delay His Flight Till The 7th

Nicole Making Fun Of Jaf =P

Hehe, I Was Mean Though

Even Though He Was Suffering On The Bed, I Kept Taking Pictures Of Him

But I Had A Good Reason Actually ..Which Were Intended For Memories Sake xD

You Shall Be Reminded Of This Forever Jaf xD

xD

Think.. Thoroughly

I Am Darn Freaking Frustrated Right Now

While My Own Camera Is In Korea

I'm Left Handicapped With My Friend's Truly Unstable Camera

I Wouldn't Be As Angry If The Camera Worked Well

But Every Time I Go Out To Shoot Now , Most Of My Pictures End Up Being Corrupted....

If I'm Lucky, I Get Away With Minor Problems

Such As This

( Left Hand Side Of The Picture, Distorted Colour)

& This

( Right Hand Side Of The Picture )

But Most Of The Time

I End Up With Pictures Like These Two

WTH Is This Even?

Sometimes The Files Can't Even Be Opened

Freaking Frustrated...........

I Need A Camera For The Coming Monday's Event

And Am Not Looking Forward To Using The Current Unstable D70s

Freak...

Sunday Morning

Can Anybody Guess What This Is?

This Is What I Actually Do When I'm That Bored At Home

Ransack The Whole Room And Just Take Pics Of Whatever I Can Find xD

Can You Guess What It Is?

70s Flying Motion

Meet Doraemon a.ka. Brian xD

We Had A Post-Birthday Celebration Dinner For Him At TGIF

A Small Celebration But Definitely A Memorable 1

As You Know How TGIF Celebrates Birthdays

With Birthday Cheers And Impossible Tasks -.-

I Guess Brian Just Outgrew Those Types Of Celebrations

It Was Hilarious For Us To See Him Being Cheered On By The Workers

Trying To Crack Jokes And Calling People Names Such As Doraemon And Hello-Kitty

Could Tell How Amused He Was xD

But You Gotta Praise The Workers For Their Hard Work

At Least They Do Try..

And Seeing How They Have To Do Cheers Twice To Three Times Every Hour

Kudos xD

Anywhooo, I Had A Bad Today

Unexpected Situations Which Are At Least Settled But Nonetheless Tedious

Sigh

Hope For The Better..

Ouh Well... Time To Study

I Wonder How Times I've Said That Already

Goes To Show.. Am Damn Lifeless Right Now -.-

Not Grey's Anatomy Though.. Too Much Drama-.-

It'd Be So Much Better =(
