personal

i’m not sarcastic, i’m just a little dazed

I just have to blog about this. Sorry to the chap who called last night.

Last night, I slept REALLY early at 8pm. It was REALLY meant to be a 20mins nap. At 1130pm, I received a call for enquries. Ok, I have to say here, I do not encourage calling after 9pm (because after 9pm, the rates actually double… nah, just kidding:P).

Anyway, this is the thing, my radio clock (which I bought recently), hasn’t has the time set properly. When the call came in, it was showing 430am. So here’s a little excerpt from the conversation,

x:  is it a good time to talk now?

me: *looks at clock, showing 430am* i think it’s a little too early (actual time is 1130pm). why not you call back in a couple of hour’s time?

Ok, I’m not trying to be sarcastic, but it just turned out to be (it happens when the brain is sleeping while the mouth is awake)! Sorry about that. I woke up at 6am today and laughed myself silly. Next time I should just NOT pick up the phone when I’m sleeping in case I say something stupid again.

Alrightie! I’m feeling good and mighty today after 10 hours of sleep! Time to rock the images!:D

And here’s one to start your morning laughing!






life’s a game

I was driving along the 4 lane CTE yesterday and saw something really unsual. A chameleon sprinting across the expressway!! Amazingly, it managed to avoid all 3-4 cars zooming past. Looks like there’s a X-games for chameleons going on around that area.

Life’s like that, it always takes a little courage to get to the other side. I just wonder what made it do it. I miss that feeling.






random randoms

Last week, I decided to get a small radio clock with ipod connectivity. I wanted something functional, nothing fanciful. So I sorta settled for a Sony model, but decided to make the salesguy work a little harder by asking, “do you know if it works with the videos?”. I bet no one asked such a dumb question before, but then again, he was very helpful and tried to demonstrate it with his iPhone.

This is the interesting part. While he was selecting the videos, he kinda tilted the phone away from me. I was like, what the heck. After he did his selection, he docked the phone onto the radio and started playing. I have no idea what went wrong while he did his selection, but the screen started showing some porn materials. I tried so hard not to laugh. Then I went, “so it works… I’ll take it (the radio, not the phone:P)”. Nearly died laughing in the car after that.

Yesterday, I popped by my parent’s place for lunch. Arrived a little earlier than usual, I decided to help my mum to cook some curry. And wow, it turned out really well, so much so that I had curry-lunch-dinner-(lunch again today). I’d say I played an pretty important role as the… “stirrer”. Everything else was prepared by her. I feel that’s a good start, so I’ll try to prep the ingredients the next round. Don’t pray pray ok… soon I’ll invent fat-barrel curry. *lol*

And my favourite song of the week… it’s a good song to have in your head when burning tyres on the track. Woohoo!!:D






to suck or not to

The regular la-la for the weekend. If you find the title offensive, then you are right, it may turn out a little offensive if you want to interprete it that way:)

I was talking to a friend and had a little discussion about “positive criticism”. Everything sounds good till this,

me: you know if you want to criticize, it’ll be good to provide some form of solution. Not just say “you suck” and stop there. Doesn’t make people feel good.

x: yeah, that’s right. Like, “how not to suck so much”.

me: ?!?! or like, “how to suck better?”

(ok, I’m stopping here… you can figure out the rest of the variations on your own)

Man, I wonder what’s in my brain. I believe it’s full of crap… but if it’s making me happy… so be it:D






wrapping up the aftermath

I am a wedding photographer. I take photographs during a wedding. I always feel like I’m part of it, part of the celebrations. It feels really nice there and then. I liken it to drinking alcohol. Don’t you just love that feeling of being high and carefree? That’s exactly the same kind of feeling I get everything I’m on the job. That is perhaps the reason why it’s impossible to stop me from shooting once I start. And that is where I get all drunk in that ‘love is all around’ atmosphere.

After the wedding last night, I went home feeling all emo and out of sorts. Not the best feeling really. Even though it was an awesome wedding. Lots of love, lots of emotions, surreal and almost like a dream come true for everyone who attended. Love every single moment of it. Perhaps too real. Getting married is like a being accepted from a prestigious school. As with the latter, for every one that graduated, there are hundreds that didn’t make it. To those that didn’t make it, my heart is with you. To those whom I wtiness success, I’m happy to be part of your dream.

But eh eh! I felt I have to do something about it. So I popped in Damien and Jean’s wedding DVD and blast the music from Mika! Now we’re ready to rock the weekend again!:D






Some techbits for the techeads.

Photoshop CS4 64bit is supercharged.

WordPress 2.7x rocks!:D Didn’t know upgrading is so so simple now.

WD Black Caviar Harddisks are not as noisy as reviews claim (maybe I’m deaf). And it feels zippy… all 4 terabytes of them.

My ipod dock may not be the most expensive, but it gets the job done: put me to sleep.

Alright, I’m really tired today. I’m going to sleep now. Blog you tomorrow!:)






bringing manado home

Six foot across, that’s enough water to satisfy my thirst for diving… before my next trip!:D

…and the two boys provide the sense of scale. Dull boy Kenji! Smile Kenji! Don’t give me that constipated face Kenji! Duh…






the early rider catches the light

Good rider, butter smooth water… and we’re just waiting for some amazing lighting. It came and stayed for awhile.

There you go Andy:) Land your 3 and I’ll get the videos done:P
