minoer update

i'm blogging live on location. Currently I'm seated somewhere in this big hall at PISA. i tell you, it feels like the whole freaking Penang is here. i might be tweeting this thing live cos truthfully, its the most exciting part of the whole series. oh, i just got myself a new gadget, guess what it is and what model? 

.2009 - final review.

OCTOBER!

October I posed with Abbas.

Then I went on a Photowalk with the IS peeps. It was great fun walking without a care and shooting everything in sight. LOL.

I opened up my official website here!



Then I visited Taiwan which was totally OHSEM. I fell in love with the place.



I did a project called faces of Taiwan where I randomly shot ppl around Taiwan. It was fun to say the least!



I was also involved in Andrew & Eilyn's wonderful wedding bliss.



NOVEMBER!

I find that my blogging momentum has really subsided by Nov. Mostly because I've been clubbing and getting out too much. I need a new phone too. I don't know. How should I go about it?

Anyway, congrats to JJ and YenTing! They got hitched on this month.



I also got my first HANGOVER!

Also, congrats to SillySeng for becoming a full fledged lawyer! We celebrated with a huge arse burger!



We visited SKYBAR. It really was overhyped. I'm not really a fan of soft music and expensive alcohol unless its with someone I adore.



I almost lost all MY FREAKING HAIR!

DECEMBER!

Now it is December.

Let's wait for 2010. Here are some resolutions I've lined up for 2010.

1. Earn more. (Standard la kan? Nak jadi kaya dot com).
2. Exercise at least 30 minutes every day. (I'm determined to make this happen)
3. Live life harder, travel more. Get out to a different country. (A vacation sometime in 2010)
4. No accidents. (Cleaning up my car crash record.)
5. Meet more people. (Been doing it since 2008 and I'm loving it.)

2009 RE-reviewed

A continuation of yesterday's review.

MAY!

May was a bit toned down. First, we celebrated Cheryl's birthday at Chili's. It was one of the first few times I met Jane I think. She's this ultra cute girl who can eat as much as Edz. Totally OHSEM.


I also introduced TWITTER to you NOOBS.

I attended Louis Pang's workshop which changed the way I shoot forever. So far, Jerry Chionis and Louis Pang are the only persons who has affected the way I shoot and how I shoot. But I do admit I get a blast from ImageIsFound.


JUNE!

This faithful month, I got addicted to The Big Bang Theory, a geeky series, and TWITTER. Lovely.

Petrus and Dhatsnee got married and we had a great time meeting up.


Oh, and I went to KL.. AGAIN. OMFG wanted to go Urbanscapes soooo much but got tied up with some work. FML.

JULY is my birthday!

Celebrated my birthday with a couple of close friends up @ the beach. Ohsem!

Went to Bon Odori and got infected with AH1N1. FML. But cuti like hell...

AUGUST!

Still sick. Watched a lot of movies, some photoshoots and did a lot of crap. Then I cut my hair... short.



SEPTEMBER!

I had a photoshoot with ChelsiaNg. She was one of the up and coming rising personalities for Martell.



Then the lovely and cute Damaris had her 1st birthday!


Jerry Chionis was in Kuala Lumpur and I just couldn't resist him. He was electrifying in every way possible. His seminar was pepped with jokes and he brings life to his every presentation. It started @ 9.00 AM and ended around 7.00PM. Not one minute in that whole time I felt bored. Unfortunately I had to leave at 7 or I could have had a photo with him. FML.


I left at 7.00 PM because I had a party to go to. Celebrating Arthur Guiness' 250th Birthday @ Sunway where Black Eyed Peas made history AGAIN.



Tomorrow let's have the final 3 months RECAP and finally the REVEAL of my 2010 resolutions!

.2009 reviewed.

Back in December 2008, I've made up some new year resolution for 2009. Let's see how this resolution thing got?

1. Earn more. (take up part time jobs and take them seriously.)
Getting them down layer by layer now. Hopefully, it'll be more stable in months to come.
2. Meet more people. (attend more gatherings. Be friendly)
Definitely happening. I'm soo freaking tired these few days.
3. Go more places. (travel to a destination every 3 months)
Does KL count as a destination. No? Naturally a failure cause I'm so tied up. No more annual leave. FML.
4. Workout more. (30 minutes on workouts everyday. Be consistent)
HAHAHAHA LOLOLOLOL. EPIC.FAIL.
5. Sleep more. (Sleep on weekdays by 12.00 maximum)
Another EPIC.FAIL.

Enough about resolutions. Let's see the OHSEMnesss that was 2009!

JAN!

Well, back in January my Swifter mates and I had a road trip to Ipoh for some sight seeing. It was an awesome roadtrip. My partner in crime here is Ndru.


I also attended my first HITZ.FM party @ SlipperySenoritas, UPR. First time seeing Hujan in action. Packed to the brim.


My best mate Hunny also came down and we had a blast with Edz and Cheryl in Penang. She's getting married this 16th Jan and I'm soo gonna miss her. All the best.


And as usual, our yearly routine... we POSED @ Kek Lok Si. That was OHSEM.


FEB!

Back in February, nothing much happened. A lot of preparation came into getting my jig on for March.

But I did have my first fishing excursion with Cheryl, Lippy, Edz and Ndru coming later to kehpochi.


We went to KL this month for a small roadtrip and getting to know the SCM members from KL. It was great meeting new faces.


MARCH!

March was crazy. Let me just summarize the concerts and events happening.

First up was the Jason Mraz concert up in Stadium Negara KL.


Then it was the iFoodEX where I met Shila of OIAM.


The next day, Meet Uncle Hussain were there for absolut OHSEMness.


Then, my first ever wedding shoot for Alvin & Kathryn! Congrats to both of them. They now have this uber cute girl, Samantha. I really need to go meet her.


Then Aifaa and Bib came down to add in a dash of flavour for March. They were orgasmic together.

Boy, was March hectic...

APRIL!

Arpil was a month of photoshoots, photoshoots and MORE photoshoots.


Then we had a big TT @ Apex.


April was also the month where I started my Project365. Now that I think of it, I need to gear up for more of my 365 images. Been delaying them for a month or so.

That's it for now, tomorrow let's review the rest!

.that feeling.

You know that feeling of satisfaction you get when you make something big successful?
When you change your life and feel proud of it?
When you complete a big project and sigh a big relief?
When you change someone's life by taking a stand?
When you made a difference?

Well, its been a while since I got that feeling.

.Don't be a tool in the club.

I just woke up from a long night. First it was the MRS Luminous Shoot. Then I headed over to Slippery Senoritas with Michelle and Abbas. We had a blast. But there are some things which I've noticed that I could not help but to comment on.

1. Guys think they can score chicks in a club. I don't know what made them think that way but the fact of the matter is, if you can't make it outside at a library or a cafe, chances are... its pretty slim.
2. The club is the worst way to score a partner. Yes, get her number.. move on. During all that intoxication, the most probable thing is... she looks better than she does. Plus with the lighting, you're putting your fate at chance. And don't tell me you like her because she's bubbly, funny, intelligent and all shit like that. Cause you can't really know yet. The club is not conducive to a freaking conversation. Which brings us to...
3. The club is the worst place to strike a conversation. Keeping it simple is really awful. You come across as dull and boring. "Where do you stay?" and "What do you do?" shit just doesn't cut it anymore. Plus you have to lean really close and shout @ her ears. Not the best way to start a relationship, mind you.
4. Intoxication is the mother of all judgment fuckups. You're drunk, maybe a bit high... and suddenly her flaws get her plus points. WTF? The only consolation is... she might think the same of you.
5. You get CockBlocks everyfucking time cause chances are, everyone is looking for a fast fuck. The only thing stopping them with the girl grinding down at the dance floor is... yes. YOU. They feign interest in you. They then forcefully squeeze their way through and tap the girl. Can he spell C-O-C-K-B-L-O-C-K?
6. Girls, your friends. You never know which ones are the one they're interested in, which one are the ones who are freakishly stalking her. They expect you to save her at the most freakish of times and leave them the fuck alone when they meet someone charming. Chances are, they don't have a universal look/code to ask for help. They just WANT you to know. If you don't... you're an arsehole of a friend who don't care much about her. WTF?
7. Its packed, sweaty and all the hot chicks are over at someplace getting their hit ON. Yes, they're most probably testing the market. How WANTED they are. They go back feeling happy if people hit on her. They give you their number but nothing more. Malaysians and fast fucks are really rare. They're just teasing you with their swirls and cleavage. They don't want to fuck you. At least not yet. Not so fast dear. They will toy with you first for movies and dinners and WTF.
8. At the end of the day, you will most probably go back alone with the one partner you can rely on. Your right/left hand.

Once you get the above 8 points scorched into your brain, you'll know that the chicks don't matter much in a club. You're there to have fun with friends. Guys or girls alike. Go crazy, jump... make a fool of yourself. That's life. Its not about hitting at all the chicks in a 10m proximity from where you're standing. You make us guys look like fools with your smell of desperation.

--------------------------------------------------------------


p/s: I did a portrait session last week. It was wonderful! Loved it to bits. Loved the outcome. More can be found at my photoblog.

.little update.

I just watched Storm Warriors II and Zombieland. Storm Warriors, cinematically was beautiful. It was sooo beautiful the fight scenes look like I was browsing through a comic book at times. However, the acting, the script... that really left me wanting for more. It was like an amateur acting fest even though they were all seasoned actors and actresses.

Zombieland was NICE. It was hilarious. It shows us that geeks and anti-social can thrive. I guess most guys have a bit of geekiness in their bones. I certainly rooted for the geek to end up with the bad girl. Secretly, all guys want a little bit of a rebellious bad girl.

anyway, gotta go now. just a short update.
Tomorrow I'll be heading down to KL. Wedding. By god, weddings are everywhere now.

OTW to Pangkor

Gua bangun pukul 2.30 pagi. Sebenarnya gua belum tidur lagi pun. Agak excited nak pergi trip. Tapi ada sikit rimas sebab gua ambil cuti pergi melancong dengan kengkawan gua yang gediks.

Lepas bangun gua mandi. Beg merah sudah dikemaskinikan semalam. Kalo belum bersedia, lebih baik gua bunuh diri sebab satu malam gua tak tidur, takkan tengok dinding saje? Rambut gua pun sudah stylo-milo. Tengok jam lagi. Jam menunjukkan pukul 3.00 sekarang. Gua sudah bersedia.

Abbas minta bertemu pukul 4.00 tapi gua tahu gua nak buat stop kat McDonald's dulu. Sambil bertolak gua nak pekena McD. Baru rugged, gaya, mutu, keunggulan. Gua sampai dekat McD Auto City pukul 3.30. Lepas gua order semo, gua pekena berita terkini dari akhbar The Sun... sebab free dan sedia-ada tepi kaunter. Awek kaunter tak seberapa cantik pantai di Pangkor, jadi gua tak hirau. Gua teruskan perjalanan.

Setibanya di depan rumah Abbas, gua berdiri bersandarkan kereta gua sambil menghirup udara pagi + milo panas McD. Jam sudah menunjukkan pukul 3.55. Kita sudah hampir nak bertolak. Gua rasa excited tapi gua tidak jerit panngil Abbas atau "housemates" dia. Nanti kacau persiapan mereka.

Pukul 3.56 ada orang buka pintu depan. "Housemate" Abbas panggil nama gua... minta gua masuk. Gua terkejut... masalahnya...


DIA PAKAI PAKAIAN TIDUR LAGI. Gua duduk mulut muncung stail emo sambil tunggu mereka bersiap.

.JJ Lim & YenTing's Wedding.

Woke up and went out to create awesomeness. More can be found @ here and my FB.

Repost dari semalam sebab aktiviti SAMA!

Jam besar dinding menunjukkan pukl 7.30. Gua nak cakap pagi tapi untuk mengumumkan pukul 7.30 sebagai pagi agak pelik. Gua rasa macam malam sahaja.

Gua berdiri dan tengok cermin, rambutku tidak terurus, meninggi macam Guile dalam Street Fighter. Gua tersengih sedikit. Mata masih tidak ingin buka tetapi cahaya matahari sudah menyakitkan mata. Gua terenget-enget menuju ke bilik mandi, mata kecil.

Air panas dari showerku agak menenangkan. Gua teringat kembali peristiwa semalam. Gua tidak ingat minuman apa yang kita ambil tetapi gua ingat sessi "cheers" dan semangat "dancefloor" kami. Ramai yang turut serta, gua ingat nama Amber... yang lain sudah lupa. Unless yang gua sudah kenal lama. Tetapi yang baru gua sudah tidak ingat. Rupa mereka pun agak kabur, seperti lukisan air yang dicemari air hujan.

Gua tidak ingat nombor telefon mereka sebab gua tidak minta. Gua tidak ingin minta sebab gua lagak macho. Tak ingin jadi bapak ayam macam lelaki putih dan ahBeng-Beng dalam kelab.




Tuhan denda gua. Patutlah gua bangun sorang-sorang tadi. Gua gosok gigi termenung kejadian semalam. Gua tersengih.

Malam nanti nak pergi Slippery Senoritas Juru or QEII? Tengok dulu rancangan skema kawan-kawanku nanti.

Malam nanti nak pergi Sunday's Cafe jumpa ZaiZai kemudian bertolak ke rumah Hee. Saturday nights FTW!

.hangover.

Jam besar dinding menunjukkan pukl 11.00. Gua nak cakap pagi tapi untuk mengumumkan pukul 11.00 sebagai pagi agak pelik. Gua rasa macam petang sahaja.

Back to work mates.

.ke KL.

Malam ini I pergi KL untuk berjumpa geng-geng gedik gua. Kalo anda nampak sebuah kereta Suzuki Swift di Penang Sabtu dan Ahad esok dengan CF bonnet dan CF wing, tolong tahan. Ada orang curi kereta gua.

Letih sungguh gua jaga 2 blog koman yang takde orang komen ini.

.the goodness in mankind.

Ever since I got into Twitter. I've experienced many incredible things. From many incredible people. Some are just stuffs they make up, some are pure nonsense but once in a while you get that link which magically brings you to awesome stuffs that people do. These things which take so much determination and so much effort, you can't help but wonder how people get up and decide to go through with it?

Isn't this world amazing? I mean we always say god make beautiful things. I say screw that. Beautiful things are made by the people who look at it. Beautiful things are made by people everyday who chose them to be beautiful. To look at things differently is not a gift, it is an ability. One which we must consciously choose and decide.

If I look at rain today and decide it to be the most beautiful thing in the world, I would embrace it. I would look upon those kids that play under those raindrops with jealousy and yearn to be them. To embrace such beauty without a care for other's perception, for other's judgemental opinions. Rain... isn't it funny how we say its such a nuisance and it's a hinder to our day? When if looked at the right way, it can be the most beautiful thing on earth?

I think discreetly, humans are capable of so much miracles, so much love, so much goodness... that when looked back, it scares me. Because we choose to betray them and yearn for power, evil, jealousy and hatred.

I think religion is a bad thing. Because race does not divide us, religion does. Race merely makes us special. It gives us an identity. Religion makes us different.

Then again, I might be wrong. I'm just a simple guy trying to love.

Nak bungkus hamper itu satu kemahiran.

Gua beli hamper untuk client. Minivin mintak beli dari kedai kakak dia. Gua cakap ok. Minivin cakap awek dia pandai balut hamper. Gua kata takpe, sekadar balutan tu ala kadar dah cukup.

Jadi gua turun kat kedai akak Minivin semalam, SlinkySuz. Gua order hamper gua. Dia bungkus. Sambil tunggu dia bungkus gua duduk atas kerusi makan aiskrim. Gua tengok dia bungkus. Sambil tengok gua komen kata awek Minivin lagi pandai bungkus. Gua mintak dia jangan hampakan gua.

Lepas setengah jam dan 2 plastik pembungkus yang rosak. Dia hampir siap.

Gua kata "Bila awek Minivin balik kerja?"
SlinkySuz tanya "Kenapa?"
Gua jawab "Gua sebenarnya boleh tunggu hamper ini sampai esok... baik you balik mintak dia bungkus"
SlinkySuz tak puas hati.. "tak cantik ke?"
Gua diam seketika... "Bukan tak cantik, masih boleh diperbaiki kan?"

"Jahat" jawab SlinkySuz.



Amacam? Gua ada gaya politikus tak? Sbb kalo SlinkySuz yang bungkus... gua tak berani bawa ke ofis client.

.balas dendam burung gagak.

Semalam gua bayar RM2 untuk parking tempat berteduh. Sudah bosan dengan parking bawah pokok walaupun free. Hah! burung gagak semua... carilah kereta murahan lain untuk lap punggung kamu yang bertatahkan tahi hitam putih. Gua gelak apabila lalu pokok redah itu.



Hari ini gua balik dengan kereta hitam putih sebab burung gagak memang kecil hati.

Mana lastik gua?

.Sunsilk fucked me up?

Sunsilk fiasco.

This post might turn into a few pages. Basically I'm still pissed but I'm sooo fucking busy I can't be bothered to write in coherent sentences.

BTW, a couple of months ago. I bought that Sunsilk shit. That shampoo claiming to strengthen and prevent hair loss. I don't suffer from hair loss... yet but I love the smell. Its those ginseng gold shit. I'll post a pic when I get back after this.

Anyway, I bought them and since I share a bathroom with my bro and his gf, we use it together. My bro has short hair thus he doesn't really wash his hair much.

Fast forward a couple of weeks later, I found out that I've been losing a shitload amount of hair. It was horrendous. I began to freak out. I examined my food, was more careful with food intake. I stopped using hair gel for a while. Basically, I took great precaution in being anal about my hair loss. God forbid if it was pre-mature baldness... I'd be fucked up. No offense to bald heads but I really fancy hair.

Anyway, I was about to visit a hair specialist a couple of weeks back after being freaked out and traumatized. When I found a new bottle of shampoo and another bottle of hair tonic in the bathroom. My guess is, someone must be having the same shit as I do.

I asked my bro's gf. Yes she's having the same shit problem. We analyzed our problem. We don't eat the same meal. Maybe only the same warm plain water but we think that couldn't be the problem cause mom didn't experience it. We work in different places, we don't even meet that much. The only fucking thing we have in common is our body shampoo and hair shampoo which is in the same bathroom.

We decided to stop using that bitch of a shampoo and true enough, my hair strength grew back. My hair loss is no longer terrifying. I came to a soft conclusion that the shampoo from SUNSILK could be the cause of my hair loss but until I get further info from SUNSILK themselves, I couldn't be sure. So, I'm going to write a letter to their complaints or CS department hoping to get a reply.

I will post more details about the bottle tomorrow like mfg date, type, pics and etc. I hope Sunsilk takes this issue seriously. I want the actual truth behind this uncovered and I want an explanation from Sunsilk.

The letter and draft along with pictures and details will be sent to Sunsilk / Unilever once I sort out my work. For now, I'll try not to make a big fuss about it... yet.

p/s: I've used Sunsilk before, and NO, I've never had any problem with them. Even this ginseng shit... So I'm guessing this could be a mfg batch fuckup.

.Halloween Costumes We Love.

Tolong jangan pergi Halloween Party pakai macam SpongeBob atau Kambing. Sila rujuk fesyen diatas. Sekian, terima kasih.
