Bystander of the Indian Streets

i tried to see amongst others, shoot from an audience rather than my own admiration. Capture an image as if without camera, convey my crafts thru what i see, not just anything for the pixel sites. Lingering between the streets, i'm still foraging my way to communicate my crafts, it's darn hard. My shots still incline toward street candid than street photography. Oh crud!

things are hidden from the world until it was photographed. Indian Town is a hidden gem, not only it is cultural, people is friendly too; they talked to you, asking you the place you called home, smile at you and let you photograph them. This lady is a owner of a grocery shop hidden on the Indian Street. 

i love the scent of the fresh flowers amid clusters of city air pollution; i love the way they make those flowers into decent decorations, it makes me feel happy.

the travelers have their periods of ecstasy, this two tourist from India surprised me with their enthusiastic!

Chipped away as best they can at the mysterious block of marble the lives are made of- high tech, low touch world.

it is a wise father that knows his routes, never forget his sons even when checking on other chicks.

the smoker's self-reflection.

without labors' hard physical work, nothing prospers.
"a man is not idle because he is absorbed in thought. There is visible labor and there is invisible labor" -victor hugo-

May i assure you that my running away plan is futile, my feet are cold, and you're holding my shoes.

off to work in two wheel drive.


i sincerely believe photography to be at it's most potent when underscored by truth. To contrive is to control, and my plan, one day i want to be at post- war zone/disaster photographing the truth.

Kimber

Oh crud. I know I'd been talking about Gear is good, Vision is better.

Yet, I'd found myself lingering in photography limbo, cursed. Upgraded to Full Frame eventually. When I got my first DSLR, I told my friends, "I would never ever upgrade to FF, gear is good, vision is better". I was truthfully sincere, bull-crap at the same time.

I love Kimber, I love the body. It weighted a little more but it fits me well. I like the way it works, the shutter, and the rest of Kimber feels more solid. The low light noise is amazing!

Still it ain't about the tools, it about what you need. I needed a Full Frame to gratify my desire, I feel contented and happy. I'm going to say this again, "Kimber will be my last camera!"

15.03.2011 星洲-活力副刊《何苦为难考生?》


好一个,何苦为难考生!
还记得高中选科系的时候,身边一部分的同学都纷纷讨论着是否该放弃华文。
我心想干嘛的?有什么好讨论?当然不该放弃华文啊!
蒙然不知,原来他人担心的是偏低A1数据,仅仅的0.2%成功
i don't mean to be rude. 但,他妈的!只有0.2%?

当年还在背叛期的我,凭着“打死都要考华文“的座右铭!和教育部一决高下。
想当初,学校的华语班还是编排在课后下午两点半的“课外活动“。
真够吊。那教育部。那学校。偏偏就在为难我!
虽然,我没去华语班,但!我也曾几何时,默默地在写作、写信。
还有补习neh!

虽然,我只考到了A2,虽然我的A型学校A1成功率是0.0%,
但我非常感谢我的补习老师,和一群一起奋斗过的华文考生们。
欢呼的不仅是华文万岁,还有那一关 “我们不向恶势力低头!“ 的过程。

所以,现任考生们,无论考取华文的路有多没坎坷,你们都不要放弃。我们的文化。






活在狗屁制度当下!
出于泥而不染的华文,万岁!

What a Tiring Weekends

i am so weak i can barely move
i wish i could lay down and do nothing but my head is bursting
my working life had never been this tiring, restless for the past weekends attending workshops
here and there. traveling is the worst part, especially on rubber. it makes me puke.

the superlative of worst, i need to attend another workshop again on this weekend.
my longing for a normal weekend to rest had put on a halt.
my company never know? i too, a normal being that need his weekend to rest and do his laundry

never got a chance for a good tour around Cameron Highland
mostly just gaze over the nature from hotel room, conference room.



before surrender ourselves to the prison,
we had our last tea at the Bharat Tea House, damn good the "teh tarik"!


there, where i was imprisoned for the past 3 days.

i could only gaze upon the beautiful Cameron from my hotel room. 
it's really meaningless, making the workshop at Cameron, while you can't seem to enjoy Cameron?

Panoramic view from my hotel room. Click for larger view. 

i'm glad we took our chances, sneaking out from the prison.
for this 3 minutes beautiful sunset. 
the climate turn warm to cold, bright to dark. 

that's all, only 8 pictures and nothing more. 

and now, i'm exhausted, shivering in cold.
can i just skip this coming workshop? i'm really tired
of working.

沒有負擔,原來也是種負擔



喝酒的伴 一起看電影的伴
早午晚餐的那個伴
朋友不能留得太晚 明天要上班
唱K的伴 一起去旅行的伴
聽懂我的笑話的伴
我的生活 只差那個人就美滿

快樂剩一人分享 快樂就只剩一半
喝一碗湯
心怎麼都不夠暖
這張被單 這張睡床
再舒服都覺得太寬
沒人分享 幸福就只剩一半
就算把日子都填滿
節日卻提醒我孤單

沒有想法 有想法又能怎樣
只能寫部落格整晚
幾個留言安慰不了 心裡的遺憾
沒有負擔 原來也是種負擔
自由多得讓人心慌
你羨慕我 那要不要跟我交換

快樂剩一人分享 快樂就只剩一半
喝一碗湯 心怎麼都不夠暖
這張被單 這張睡床
再舒服都覺得太寬
沒人分享 幸福就只剩一半
努力把日子都填滿
別來提醒 我的孤單

快樂剩一人分享 快樂就只剩一半
喝一碗湯 心怎麼都不夠暖
這張被單 這張睡床
再舒服都覺得太寬
沒人分享 幸福就只剩一半
就算把日子都填滿
沒人知道 我多孤單
