Updates

Hi guys/girls

Sorry haven't been updating my blog since who knows when, but been really busy with assignments and tests and so on. Probably won't update till sometime next week once I have the time =) Stay tuned, a major update coming soon ;)

What now?

I guess it’s true what they say about knowing a person. A person is identifiable through the actions that he or she does. Isn’t that so true that the things we do shape the very essence of our lives? If that’s the case, then life is something we should treasure greatly is it not? Then, the question is, what are we doing with our lives? Do we just sit around and wait for things to come to us? Or do we sit alone studying or working looking up the ladder but neglecting the people around us? Do we strive for everything which we cherish, be it big or small, that what we do is to achieve fulfillment in our lives?

Isn’t that what life is all about? Living it to the fullest and striving for the best that we can whilst looking forward to the future in anticipation of greater things to come. Each one of us, regardless of gender, race, or age, has only one chance to live. You cannot ask for a second chance to redo what was done. Some say that always keep an eye on your past and be wary. But what is that if you don’t look to the future? Are our lives such things that we only look back in hope of undoing the mistakes we have made? Or is it that we should look to the future and hope for greater things whilst giving it all we have? Should our lives be filled with greed, hatred, prejudice, and power? Or should life be filled with happiness, joy, friendship, love, and so many others? The things that we choose to do in and the way that we are, it is all by our choice. People may say that, “Oh, it was luck” or “They made me do it” but yet, at the center of it all, isn’t it governed by the decisions that we make? Do we take responsibility of our lives? Or are we letting others do it for us?

What is the purpose of me saying all this, you may ask. To me, it is the fact of life that is the purpose. Life is given to us and it can be taken from us at any moment. Therefore, it is precious to me and I do not intend to waste my life any longer dabbling in things which do not build me in stature and maturity. I may be young but better to realize this young before it is all too late where life will then be filled with regrets. Each and every one of us only has one shot at life. I have made my choice, what is YOURS? Do not waste this wonderful opportunity that has been given to you.

Nobody asks you to have a perfect life, just to give it all you've got with no regrets.

New Stuff :D

As the title states, I got me some new stuff! Wohoo xD
Hahaha. My dad just got back from the US and bought back some stuff for my family. My bro got some stuff that he asked for and so did I xD

Let the pictures do the talking:

Capo, Strings =)

Wallet!! xD

Clothes =D

Chocolates and Dried Fruits :D

Just a short post to keep my blog updated until after exams =x

Wants and Needs

        Ever had something you wanted so bad that you would be willing to sweat blood just for the sake of having it? That thing which dominated your thinking such that the decisions you make are based off that one thing? Well, I have or am experiencing something like that albeit much less dramatization and more inhibited. The item which I want most at this point in time is this:

        The Nikon D3100 =) Actually, not really. What I really want is a DSLR camera. Any DSLR will do though I have one which I am specifically targeting. Well, you may ask, ''Why do you need a DSLR?'' The simple fact is, I don't. Which is why I said its a want. I have a prosumer camera which is the Canon G11. It is a good camera but I feel limited by it's flexibility which cannot compare to that of a DSLR. I mean, the G11 is great no doubt, but a DSLR is even better.

        However, with that being said, I always ask myself, '' Is it really necessary to have a DSLR?'' Sometimes, walking down the street, I see plenty of people holding DSLRs. But I ask myself, '' If the camera is what makes the picture, then why aren't many of us who own DSLRs professional?'' Understood that the camera has a bearing on the picture quality, but that is only a portion of what a great photo is about. I dare not even say that the equipment is 50% of what a great photo is about. Most of the time, a great photo, and in that respect a great photographer, is perspective. Nothing can be achieved without perspective for perspective is what you and I see the world through. The perspective of a photographer is what differentiates a good photographer from a great one. It is not all about equipment, more of the ability of the person using it.

        So back to the question, do I really need a DSLR for a camera? The answer is no. I would love to own one and I have not stopped saving for it. But I feel that photography is more to me about how I see the world and what story I would like to tell.

p/s. Anyone willing to sponsor me? :P (tongue in cheek) 

Neglect?

It's interesting to think that, up to a few months ago, I never thought I would blog. Well, I do now although not about many personal stuff but more about things that are happening/ have happened. =) Sorry to all those readers ( Only a few, i know :P) but I had been neglecting my blog for quite a while now. Why? As I said, I write about things that are happening or have happened and since my last post, nothing eventful has happened. =( Man.... I have no social life (For now at least =x). On another note, MID-TERMS and CLASS TESTS are so near that it scares me. Gotta get studying unless I want to fail of course xD

p/s. This is just a short post to keep my blog updated I guess xP

More to come soon. Byes

Mr Ng Guo Bao ( Sotong, Gopal, Sei ye)

This post is dedicated to one Mr. Ng Guo Bao who is leaving for the UK to continue his studies on the 22nd of September 2010, at 2am.

I met Bao in foundation during Calculus class. Through William I got to know Bao better especially since both of them had almost the same classes and I was spending quite alot of time with William ( I'm quite antisocial, i know) Over time, the friendship continued to grow and when MR SEI YE decided to take psychology, it made the friendship even stronger. Like in a previous post, there were 4 of us who were very close: Me, Bao, Sha, Wynn. And so, through up and down, thick and thin, the friendship between us has never wavered. I still remember Bao as being that fat dude (Rmember? xP) who became slim, but now a little bit fat again =x I'm still wondering how the sei ye name came about.. I remember the Gopal part though. xD

But regardless, Bao is and most likely always will be a good friend. A friend who will be there when you need him the most. Interesting that I have little to say. Oh well, it's been great to know you for the past 3 years, don't be a stranger, keep in touch xD And all the best in your studies in UK. (Btw, too many photos upload so I bo upload la. Go my facebook and see xP)

Fresh Meat

Today has been quite an enjoyable day for me although a little tiring. Was supposed to wake up by 11am in the morning to go out but guess what? I overslept .__. woke up instead at around 11.30am. Looked at my phone and I saw around 13 miss calls? 9 from Sotong and 4 from Whale. So I rushed to bathe and to get ready. Was supposed to meet them at Mid Valley at 12 but I was sure to be late. So out I went at around 11.40 and was nearby Mid Valley at around 12pm but was stuck behind a taxi that was driving at around 30km/h. I mean, seriously, who on earth drives at 30km/h on a main road much less a taxi?? On the plus side, saw an Audi R8 V10 coupe right infront of the taxi *drools*. Didn't manage to take a proper photo coz well, I was driving. Hahaha. Oh well, there's always next time :D

I reached the Garden's carpark at around 12.10 and made my way over to Mid Valley. [ For those who drive to MV, you should roughly know why I do this ;) ] Met both Sei ye's at Carl's Jr along with Kim (Whale's sister). So decided to eat Carl's Jr. and I don't know why. But I'm not complaining :P I decided to order a Large Set of Double Western Bacon Cheeseburger ( i think). Can't remember what the rest ate though. Hahaha =x

Fries :D

I forgot what this was.. Chilli cheese fries?

Mr Leo and Ms Kimberly

Sei ye Sotong =x

Lunch! :D

After lunch we went over to GSC to catch this:

PIRANHA!

But we didn't watch it in 3D though. Wondering how it would be like. Haha. Anyways, the movie was okay. Action scenes were cool. There was plenty of blood, however, recommended for 18 and above though due to excessive skin shown. Looking back though, it was a nice movie in terms of action but not in terms of the plot. (Isn't that always the case?) But then, doesn't matter coz I prefer this to Rom-Coms and all that. Haha. So if you're planning to watch, this movie I would say is worth the time unless you're faint of heart ;)

After the movie ended, Mr Leo and sis went off so it was left with me and Bao. Since it was still early, we went to MPH to look at books and all that for awhile. On the way to the car, we spotted New Zealand Natural so decided to try it out. Haha. For me it was the 2nd time trying it I think. It was okay i guess but a little bit expensive for my taste though. Not going back there tooo often =x Hahaha

Sei ye's Mango Passion and Chocolate something i think. =x

Rum & Raisin + Cookies and Cream =)

11.90 for 2 scoops @.@

After New Zealand Natural, we left and I dropped Mr Bao off at Bangsar LRT station and made my way home to SLEEP! :P
