I got a car park exactly wher I asked for, for the third time in a month~

Went out with Lenard for a drink this afternoon, can't find a nearby parking space, decided to try Law of Attraction again...

I asked for: 'A car park right in front of Old Town, facing the main road.' and guess what? there are few cars in front of me, but I got exactly what I asked for, for the 3rd time in a month... Coincidence? Maybe... maybe not.

I need a notebook that dedicated to Photography~

What the heck is this???!!! I have a dedicated scratch disk allocated for Photoshop, and he still complains more!! I have got tons of photo waiting for my editing, who can help?

Hhhhhhhheeeeeeeelllllllppppppp~

I am so scared~

Last night run sucks~

The 2 machines I usually use is occupied, so I was force to stick to this older machine, the meter is much different from the other machine, according to the meter I only covered less than 2 KM, but I feel that I have reach about 2.5 KM, dont know why.. The speed meter is also much different, running at 7 was like 11 at the other machine...

DCM account has been hacked!

Few months ago when I was trying to submit some of my photos to Digital Camera Malaysia (DCM), I read the Malaysian Editor page on the first page of the magazine, in a slightly worrying tone, he was asking readers to delete DCM email address from their contact list in their computer. I was wondering why...

Few days ago I receoved this email from DCM, obviously it is not sent from DCM themselve. This is an email sent by the person who has successfully hacked DCM Email Server, and changed  the Administrator password somemore, they send this email to, maybe, all emails listed on the server, including me.

Hows that?

Aunties and uncles, nice to catch up with you today~

One Software Engineer with more than 10 years experience and one Software Unit Manager with same years of experience now, wow~

1 Borneo Shopping Today~~

This could be quite embarrassing here, I went out to get my 1st pair of Levi's trousers from the one of the Levi's Store. I asked for my size, and they have to look through all their stock to get one, and guess what? That's the ONLY one pair they have got!!

While waiting for my trousers to be shorten by 4 inches, we went to DOME, and order this so called English Tea~ RM19.89++ for this 4 pieces of deserts?? You can even see 2 pieces of  Samosa, since when Samosa is part of English Tea culture?? Correct me if I am wrong~

Ther is even a lucky draw for having English Tea, we were asked to write down in less than 15 words why I love DOME. I was trying to be sarcastic here, not sure if they will got it right~ ;-)

Addicted to f/1.4~~

Due to the rain earlier last night, the 炒猓条 stall has his umbrella opened up, therefore I can't see the action from the bridge like last year, so I can't replicate the photo like the one I took last year, but I do get some interesting enough photo with my new f/1.4~ 

I come to appreciate how much effort need to put on focusing the object using such a huge aperture lens...

A reply to a comment made by reader on the post: A Rabbit and the Monkey... continue... on 19 January 2009

You can read the previous links on here and the previous one again here.

For the story - The Monkey and the Rabbit, I published on my blog is a story I am writing on behalf of the Moneky. Although I can't disclose who is he but he sure is someone I have known for long long time. He found a girl who came into his life without much time for a second thought, it just bang and boom, there goes fireworks~

But their relationship has come into a halt when he discover there is a communication problem. This communication issue has developed into trust problem. Whenever the existance of trust between 2 person is challenged, it kills all relationship no matter how strong it has been developed.

I like to record this because it reminds me of a lot of memory, it recalls my inner me on the core values circuating the importance of Trust, Truthfulness, Family, Love, Faithfulness, Money and many others.

The love between them has brings me back to my memory of my secondary school life. Full of colors and musics, funny fights and nonsense arguments. What is different now is the involvement of high tech services or gadgets like the kinds we see everyday now: sms, msn chats, Facebook, webcams and camera phones.

No matter the changes of generation, no matter the movement of time and place, the beauty of Love has never fail to leave a mark of seal in everybody life at least once.

This is a beautiful story, it could be sad sometimes, but the closing is still open. Stick by my blog, I shall disclose bit by bit as the story goes. ok? ;-)

**ps. Monkey and Rabbit get back together after the letter Monkey wrote on 19/01/2009.

Am I ready for FULL SWING?

Naaaarrrr.... I still need more time.

But one thing for sure, no more new lens for a while, otherwise I need another new bag~

One More Reason To Relax... for me...

My new working shoes, take me higher pls~

The Rabbit and the Monkey... continue...

Want to know more about the story behind the Rabbit and the Monkey? Monkey bump into Rabbit after the last episode of the story, for some strange reason they got together again. Monkey thought it would be a New Beginning but things start to go wrong again (yeah, just like a Hong Kong movie as usual...)

Monkey has just wrote a letter recently to Rabbit and I was in charge of getting it down on paper, this is how it goes and enjoy:

Dear Rabbit,

I decided to write you a letter because these words just keep running around my mind every time we had an argument. Because of that I can simply tell how bad I am in communicating with you. It’s my fault, not yours. By writing this letter, I just want you to know how I feel, and I feel better when I believe you know about it all.

I came to believe that now, I am not the right guy for you, and you deserve a much better man with a much bigger heart. I came to understand that my mere strong feeling for you is not enough to justify me requesting anything more from you than what I have already got.

I thank you for all the good things you did to me so far, I really appreciate it, and when I say I appreciate it, I close my eyes and put my right hand on my heart and think it through like a movie, it always make me smile and my heart will be warm. I have never experience in life, what I have gone through with you. Just like I have never broken any rules, which I have broke, when I am with you.

There are up and down in this journey, of cause, just like any other relationship on this earth. And a good relationship will have a good communication. I have experience the most high up and the most low down with you, which is great experience really. What a shame we did not communicate well enough.

I wish that you future is bright, I believe it will. Just don’t spoilt it with your own hands ok? Believe in yourself, you are much bigger than you think you are.

I really believe now there is a God above me, and God has sent you to me to make me, and you, both a better person tomorrow. There are many questions in my mind when I decide to follow my heart to have feeling for you. The further we go down the road, more and more time I face challenges on issue like loyalty and faithfulness, on truthfulness and selfishness. And I believe I have found out the answers for these questions.

I also came to understand how it feels when one is being taken for granted, and in my life there are many people I took for granted without knowing much. I really have to go back to pay back what I have taken.

So I guess this is time to say good bye. God has made this happened at all the right timing don’t you think? I will start my next step in life soon, and you have, or almost come out from something which drags you down. The long holiday is already knocking on our doors. Let’s just leave each other alone for a while, let the sand and dust settle down, the air will be clearer and the road ahead will be much wider for us.

Good bye, I will pray for you and God bless you, my love.

Love,

Monkey

Want to know who and why I wrote this story for? Drop me a line at the comment and I shall tell you all about it~ ;-)

Less mileage, more calories.. what??

20090117 - Random Thought

Running is such a fun thing to do on a daily basis, I could not understand why it used to be such a painful thing to push myself to run even like 3 times in a week.

I have only been running for slightly more than a week. And 'bad' things started to happened already:

1. My favorite Eagle belt need a new hole, damn...
2. I look more and more like a jerk wearing a oversized T-Shirt running around town.
3. My long pants start to fold around my waist.
4. My face appear to be more square than before.
5. more...

Will keep you updated, like you really care.. haha~

By the way, I need a pair of shades for driving and trying to be cool looking. And I am a specs wearer, any suggestion on selecting a pair of shades?

More test photos with my 85mm f/1.4...

Sorry 16mm-85mm f/3.5 DX, I am gonna leave you for a while for now... ;-)
