Conscience Revoked

The Perfect Location For Street Photography

On The First Evening In Penang

Adel And I Went For Penang's Famous Cendol

RM2.00 Not Wasted.. In Fact, I'd Pay More For It

It's That Good !

While Having The Cendol, We Had The Penang's Asam Laksa As Well

I'm Not A Big Fan Of Food But Honestly The Combination Is To Die For

Right After The Meal

We Continued Walking Along Jalan Penang

But Sadly It Was Already Quite Late Into The Evening And The Weather Was Really Cloudy And Gloomy

So It Didn't Leave Us Much Time To Venture Further

But Really

2nd Time Round Yet I'm Still Not Bored Of It xD

Motion City

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? =)

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

=)
