The arrival

Just arrived in Penang after a very long journey-6hours by train. reached Butterworth at 9.30pm and it took 1 hour for us to reach hotel. we stayed at Grand Continental hotel. quite near to Komtar, 1st Avenue and Perangin Mall. cant wait for tomorrow. our real holiday will start tomorrow :)

Suicide note

This one week holiday i may not be able to text you like always. i'm sorry if i dont reply your text. but it's only for one week. it's not a long period. i'll be back soon. u can still catch me on facebook coz i'm gonna update mine once a while :) wait for me yeah XD i'm not running away from you. hiding from you could be interesting though.

*remember, you are always in my head.

Up Up here we go!

In LCCT now. waiting for my dad, mom and sister to come. their flight is at 3pm from Sibu. and maybe they will arrive at around 5pm. i've another 5 hours before they arrive. we'll spending our holiday together in KL and Penang. will be going to Penang either tomorrow or Monday. wee. cant wait to feel the Penang breeze.

Dunstan just entered the departure hall leaving me alone here. bon voyage! have a safe trip to sibu and send my regard to the swans. i've no idea what to do now. maybe just sit back and wait for my laptop to die. RIP. or maybe it's better for me to walk around and took some pictures. oh, i've loaded B&W film. cant wait to finish em and see the result.

stay tuned

*i've see this in some of my friends' facebook. it looks cute right? :)

Holiday mood

KTT is getting quite now. what can i say is, it is human-less. only a few students who stay in the apartment are available. no difference between KTT now and ghost town. no activities are going on outside. no people go jogging, futsal court is empty, no shouts from badminton court, bicycles are left untouched at the guard house. luckily it's still in the evening. i bet it will be very creepy and eerie at night. hmm. it's my turn to stay at apartment alone. i hope nothing bad will happen. or if worse come to worst, maybe i'll go to Dunstan's apartment or he'll come down to mine for sleepover. Am left yesterday evening to sabah while Zainal and Muadz left this morning.

After all of them left, i tried to take several shot with my Fed 5C. i've to learn lots more coz it's not like my previous toycam. it has to be set manually according to light condition and etc. besides, i just stayed in my room with my laptop. thanks to akif coz he lends me his broadband. tired of going online, i watch movie while eating keropok lekor. then, like my everyday routine, i took short nap. yeah, today i made it really short. Dunstan texted me and asked me to have our dinner outside. at least i'm not stranded here until tomorrow.

My family will come tomorrow. cant wait to see them though i might feel a lil bit awkward because of my result and what i've done back then. We're going to Penang either this sunday or monday for vacation. i hope this vacation will be great for us to spend time together.

To all my chinese friends, i wish u all happy Chinese New Year. i miss to go visiting with you all like last year

*this holiday will be more meaningful if i have a chance to go back to my hometown, spend quality time with family and friends. i wish i could taste kampua and kolok mee this holiday. not to forget to hang out with my best-est cousin and show off my new girlfriend. LOL. i miss my room's atmosphere. :(

Finally..

i've been waiting for her since early this week. i cant sleep well for a few nights and it was because of her and my AS result too. it will be more meaningful if i am able to get good result for AS or just pass the cut off point-12points. and still, 1 point make a huge different. haihh. T.T

i've been eyeing on her for weeks. get to know her closer just last week. cant wait to put my hand on her. XD

thanks to Afiqah Alysia and Les Deux Clothing :)

turn over a new leaf

i've been mourning since monday because of my poor AS result. i keep on blaming myself but i deserve it. i was not serious at all during my AS. Playing around, sleep all the time, have fun and neglect my study. hmm. past is past and ive to move on. i've to struggle hard for my A2.

*1 point make a huge different. either u float or u sink. and i'm not only sank. i've drowned :(

when i called my mom, i cried. there's thousands of hopes on me. as her only son and the eldest in my family, i should have shown good example to my sister. it's my biggest failure in my life so far. last time, when i was in standard 2, i got 8+ for my math and i hid the exam paper from my mom. but now, i wish i can do the same. but it's not. i'm sorry mom. i keep on thinking whether i deserve those good results before, upsr, pmr and spm. and i'm not a good role model too.

sometimes, i think it's too late for me to regret. the journey is still so far away and i should not just give up like this. there are lots of reasons for this. it's not the end of the world. i must change. hmm. *every cloud has its silver lining*

to both of my parents, i'm sorry. i've done lots of bad things. and maybe this is the amount that i've to pay. i'll make sure that i wont disappoint u both.

Lomography in local newspaper

Setiap kamera lomo menghasilkan kesan khas yang berlainan dan mampu memberikan kepuasan yang tinggi kepada penggemar fotografi.

KAMERA 'Lomo' mungkin dianggap sebagai gajet ketinggalan zaman oleh sesetengah orang memandangkan ia masih menggunakan filem.

Biarpun rupa kamera itu kelihatan seperti barang mainan dan tidak secanggih kamera digital masa kini, hasilnya yang dipanggil sebagai seni lomografi mampu memukau setiap yang memandang apatah lagi jika ia disusun memenuhi segenap ruang.

Ia merupakan suatu cabang seni fotografi yang menitik beratkan penggunaan kamera berbeza-beza untuk mendapatkan kesan khas yang berlainan.

Keunikan seni lomografi itu juga mampu dihasilkan tanpa sebarang bantuan perisian suntingan foto yang kebiasaannya digunakan oleh para pemilik kamera digital DSLR.

Apa yang menarik mengenainya, setiap foto yang diambil menerusi kanta lomo mampu menghasilkan kualiti yang setanding dengan kamera digital terkini dan hasilnya setelah diproses secara analog kelihatan seolah-olah telah diubah menggunakan perisian suntingan foto.

Itulah antara kelebihan yang terdapat pada seni lomografi yang berteraskan kepada prinsip bebas dalam merakamkan setiap gambar berbeza dengan seni fotografi yang lebih menekankan kepada aspek teknik dan teknikal yang perlu dipelajari terlebih dahulu.

Sehubung itu, fotografi digital boleh disifatkan tidak asli berbanding hasil seni lomografi yang memerlukan pengguna kamera lomo melakukan pelbagai eksperimen terlebih dahulu.

Sebaliknya fotografi digital lebih bergantung kepada perisian komputer untuk mencantikkan gambar yang telah dirakam.

Hasil seni yang tidak dapat dijangka

Berlandaskan peraturan utama iaitu 'jangan fikir, hanya petik' (don't think, just shoot), hasil seni lomografi tidak dapat dijangka namun ia mampu memberikan kepuasan yang tinggi kepada penggemar fotografi.

Baru-baru ini, penulis berpeluang untuk bertemu dengan komuniti penggemar lomografi tempatan yang dikenali dengan nama Lomokids.

Sejak ditubuhkan pada Jun 2006, melalui laman web jaringan sosial, Myspace.com sehingga ke Facebook, nama Lomokids semakin dikenali ramai.

Malah komuniti itu juga kini berjaya menarik penyertaan lebih 6,000 orang ahli dan semakin popular sehingga dikenali di kalangan penggemar lomografi dari Singapura, Thailand, Indonesia dan Filipina.

Pengasas kepada komuniti tersebut, Mukhriz Abdul Latif, 28, berkata, pada mulanya, seni lomografi diperkenalkan oleh adiknya, Mohd. Idzwan.

Setelah melihat hasil yang diperoleh, dia mula tertarik dengan kesan dan keaslian gambar yang dihasilkan kamera lomo.

Beliau berkata, walaupun zaman ini boleh dikatakan sebagai era DSLR, beliau masih berbangga untuk menggunakan filem dan kamera lomo biarpun ia kelihatan agak pelik.

"Keunikan kamera lomografi selalu menjadi perhatian mereka yang tidak mengenali atau tidak pernah melihatnya kerana reka bentuknya yang kelihatan seperti barang mainan.

"Selain itu, keseronokan yang timbul apabila gambar yang dirakamkan menghasilkan foto yang tidak dijangka turut membuatkan saya teruja apabila melihatkan hasil yang diperoleh," katanya.

Menurut Mohd. Idzwan, 26, pula, sepanjang bergiat aktif dengan lomografi, beliau dapat rasakan bidang itu mampu membuatkan seseorang itu lebih kreatif dan berinovasi.

"Selain dapat meningkatkan kemahiran menggunakan pelbagai jenis kamera lomo, saya rasakan yang bidang ini juga banyak membantu saya dari segi kreativiti dan teknik fotografi yang lebih mendalam.

"Bidang ini memerlukan kesabaran yang tinggi selain minat yang mendalam untuk mendapatkan gambar yang cantik, bukan semudah menekan butang kamera saja," ujarnya.

Seorang lagi ahli Lomokids, Faizal Rahim, 26, berkata, setiap kamera lomo menghasilkan kesan khas yang berbeza-beza mengikut jenis kamera yang digunakan.

"Sebagai contoh, kamera lomo jenis Super Sampler yang memiliki empat kanta mampu merakamkan empat pergerakan dalam satu masa.

"Kesan khas ini juga terdapat pada kamera lomo jenis Fish Eye yang memberikan kesan khas yang berlainan manakala Frog Eye pula mampu merakam gambar di dalam air tanpa bantuan sebarang pelindung tambahan," jelasnya.

Rakannya, Azizah Abdul Latif, 29, pula berkata, bagi mendapatkan hasil yang lebih menarik, penggunaan filem lama mampu memberikan kesan yang lebih mengagumkan.

"Kebiasaannya penggunaan negatif filem lama yang disimpan mampu memberikan kesan khas yang lebih menarik lebih-lebih lagi jika ia ditambah dengan teknik lomografi seperti double exposure (kesan khas dua gambar disatukan) dan lain-lain.

"Walaupun filem itu boleh dikategorikan sebagai filem yang telah luput, ia masih boleh digunakan untuk meningkatkan lagi kesan khas dan bagi mendapatkan hasil yang terbaik sekurang-kurangnya paling lama filem itu perlu disimpan selama empat tahun," katanya.

Mohd. Faisal Aziz, 23, berkata, bagi mendapatkan kesan warna yang lebih menarik, cross process digunapakai untuk mencuci filem yang telah digunakan.

"Cross process menggunakan bahan kimia negatif mampu menaikkan lagi tona warna setiap gambar yang telah diproses dan hasilnya gambar tersebut lebih berkualiti," ujarnya.

Some stuffs happening lately

hmm. where to start? let's start about what happened since last week.

the class went on last week like usual except on thursday, where we, ALL 2 celebrated Mr. Zaini's birthday.

then, on the 15th of January, the MPP of KTT organize a small bowling tournament which was held at Jusco Seremban 2. it's interclass bowling competition actually but due to the short participation, some students of other classes may represent other classes which dont have any participant. so, i represented ALL 10 class together with Syakila, Fui Chung and an Indian girl named Prasena if i'm not mistaken.

We went to Seremban 2 at around 9.15am and it took about 45 minutes to reach there. and the competition started around 11am. we had to play 2 games and the fee for this competition was cheap. only RM5 for two games with refreshment and transportation included XD. that's why i joined the competition other than i want to have fun with my friends.

I'm not so good in bowling and our team just played for fun though we have syakila in our team-she's the state player. for the first game, none of us hit 100 pins. when seeing other groups are playing so well with the highest score 160 pins, syakila said in second game she will hit more than 100 pin and she proved it.

unexpectedly, we won second place. lol. under ALL 10's team, i got myself a trophy and certificate. woot woot. that was my first KTT certificate. haha.

The winners with Mr. Razib. spot me XD

-end of last week-

for this week, classes were going well and all of KTT's students are under pressure now because we will be having midsem next week. but for one year student, poland and czech bound, we had more pressure than the rest. it's because, we have to sit for IELTS examination. it was yesterday and today. yesterday was speaking test and today-listening, reading and writing test.

for my speaking test, i was the 3rd candidate. i got a question about 'describe an adventurous people that you know' . em. i didnt expect that kind of question but luckily i can answered it. well? for today, all the candidates woke up early because we have to be at the hall at 8am but the invigilators didnt come that early. so we have to wait. wait wait and wait. i was so sleepy that during the listening test i felt like i want to sleep. LOL.

now, i'm looking forward to get my AS result on monday. i hope i'll pass the cut off point 12/15 . and on the same day, midsem start until wednesday before chinese new year holiday start. but i'm not going back to sibu this holiday. instead my family will come over here and we'll go somewhere else. cant wait for it. one week to go XD

for my chinese friends, i wish u all happy new year!! $$$ na lai. LOL. emm. i hope i can join you all to go visiting like last year but i'm not available this holiday. will miss to see u all.

Spent my day with friends-Jackson, Tsin, Ee Mei and Ying Ying. sadly hayati, andy and hazirah couldnt join. we met at KL Sentral where i've my second breakfast. or should i say brunch?Then, we took monorail to Bukit Bintang. obviously there are no other convenient transport to that golden triangle of KL. At the monorail station, there were a lot of people. damn pack. coz it's saturday plus it's first day of new year plus holiday season. LOL.

we reached BB quite early, before noon. i've been there a day before so im not that excited. i just follow them went shopping and took pictures. at first we entered uniqlo at fahrenheit88, though there are lots of nice clothes i've to control myself for not buying them. i'm broke. yes!!BROKE!!while waiting for friends choosing clothes, jackson pointed at a shirt and said that was mine. LOL. i'll be proud if the shirt is specially designed for me. XDD

I ♥ Muhammad Haziq (MH)

After uniqlo, we went to pavilion. packed with local people and tourists. nothing to do there, i didnt get anything except tired and pain. several hours at pavilion, we moved to uniqlo and fahrenheit88 again. it's boring if u go out and do not buy anything. i blame myself for not saving money earlier. haizzz. lastly, we went to McD for dinner.

On my way back to my uncle's place, i've lost my lens cap. s*** :(

I enjoyed today's outing though i didnt buy anything, at least i'm not stranded at college. however, bio test is waiting for me on monday *gulp. have to study ASAP.

chiaoo.

p/s : i shouldnt had my breakfast at KL Sentral's McD. instead, i should went straight to BB and had my breakfast at BB's McD. if only i went there this morning, i will be able to see u XD

New Year 2011

planned to watch the tourist but at last i myself ended being a tourist.

From KTT, to Pasar Seni, Then walked for hours around KL. Took some pictures. entered lomo store, surveyed lomo, and lastly-tired.

That's how i ended up my last day of 2010

First day of January 2011,
