This Day!

This day been a good day for me, because so many good things happen today. To start it off, it was Easter! During B.O.B time, i was thinking which person who is going to request My Redeemer Lives, since i know the song will be played later on. No one requested, suprisingly the song i requested was the one the band played later on. Then the time came, Drama!

The thing about the drama is that, we started off kinda late, as in the whole preparation took about 3 weeks, as usuall i was nervous, and i asked God to be there to help me out. I did my best, and i don't know how i did it. Something went wrong before that, my shoes which is in my car, my dad took them without me knowing it, causing Darren to take off his shoes as well. To the drama fellas, it's been a big pleasure to be working with every single one of you, not forgetting the props guys, Kelvin Yee, Mervyn and also Ivan Chong for being there to make sure that everything is there and ready and to God for being the backbone of this Drama!

On the afternoon, was a good time, met up with a friend who havent been cathching up for long time. Was good to talk and share stuffslah, thank God for that time as well.

Unfortunatelly, on the evening futsal is cancel AGAIN! Seems like we're getting lesser and lesser people these days. Hope by next week there WILL be a game, as i'm addicted to it, and need to release tension. Took a nap, and woke up at 7 something. Went out with father to buy stuffs from Giant. Then got myself a new handphone battery, as the old one is getting worse.

Then had dinner with Kelvin Yee, who actually received my yesterday's message today, inviting him to go dinner last night. Talked a lot about life and afterlife, it's all good. Then took a walk inside Giant, window shopping.

And now here am i, in front of my computer blogging. Just thank God for today, just hope tomorrow will be a better day.

Upcoming: 6 days of work! hahaha!!

Good Friday & Easter

I was reading some of my contact's blog about Good Friday, wanted to blog about it. But then i have nothing to say or write. Why? Am i not being thankful for it?

Probably the reason why i cant write, is that i don't know what to say. While there is people who can use big words and wonderful words, all i can say is thank you. Is that thank you something? For me, it's just a simple word, nothing. For all the pain that He go for me, and i just say thank you, feel so empty, nothing. For the past 2 days, my church had been doing reading on the suffering and death of Jesus Christ.

Never had i felt so bad, for the things He went through. People beat Him up, spat at Him, hit His head with a stick, whipped Him, mock Him and crucify Him. He's the Son of the King, who created the earth, He could had just came down and live like a royalty, but no He didn't. He choose to be born in a poor family, being hunted by soldiers when He was a baby, didn't had anything to eat at times, no place to sleep and been accused of crimes which He didn't even do. But did He ever said anything during the time when the people accused Him falsely?

He go through all the insults and pain because of us, but did we ever cared of Him? We do things which other people do, and bring shame on Him. Perhaps during this Good Friday would be a good time for rededicating our lives to him. But let us not to let it just be a 1, 2 days thing. Easter will be tomorrow, significant that He rose from dead tomorrow.

My Work Part 2

Since my blog is not update, so i shall blog about my work place the part 2 version.

Each one of us have their own cubicles, with our own PC, phone, chair and of course our own space. So this blog post is to show how does my cubicle looks like. Firstly i have to tell you that my cubicle, well it is one of the coolest around. Why? you may ask.

Firstly my mouse is the optical laser mouse, instead of the normal ball mouse (can't remember what it is called now)

( My colleagues' mouse )

Second would be, the phone. Now the phone pays essential part in my job, because that is where my customer contacts me, and that is where as well my salary comes, so i have to love my phone. Some of the people in my office uses the CallMaster III, it's so bulky and full of button. . .

Fortunately, i'm one of the 2 people in the whole department to use the new Avaya brand (You can see the phone at my cubicle picture, the black one). It's less button and much more stylish, but this CallMaster III is a good phone, it can receive 3 lines at a time, and it is one expensive phone!


Third would be the chair i'm sitting on. Some of the guys having chairs which is not even a computer chair and adjustable, so they are stuck with 1 height all the time, but for me, i have a PROPER computer chair with adjustable height.

My keyboard is good as well, like i mention in my previous post, it's the same one as the one i'm using now at my home. The air cond here is super cold as well, that everyday i wear sweater to keep myself warm.

This is my cubicle. . .

TADAA!!! As you can see i stick paper everywhere. Easylah for me to do my job.

Anyway, i just want to share one thing which i've been doing for some time. Since my office hour is until 5:45PM (the general office hour, not my one), everybody goes back that time, so most of the time, my boss and myself will be in the office, or sometimes he goes back early. During this time, i'll do something, i turn OFF all the lights except mine and the airconds. I don't need that extra lights, and the air-cond as it is freezing. But i what i want to say is, i dont need any specials day to off my lights and air-cond (Earth Hour, i mean), i just turn them off. People said i dont love the worldlah and so onlah, and here i'm the one doing this while that person probably doing something to make the world even worse, hahaha! So basiclly, you dont need that 1 day to do "good" for this world, just do it everyday, probably by ways you havent think yet.

Off-ed all the lights except my cubicle area.

Anyway, it is 1:53AM now and i had to get proper sleep or else i'll be sleeping during work time, so yea.

Me-lvin

Just a short update.

If you're my age, or probably old, you might remember those days when we're in school and our friends used to play prank on us this day, April Fool? This year i didnt even get fooled, ahahaha. Miss those years in school.

Anyway, like what my Facebook status says, yea i think i had just turned into a workaholic. My work finishes at 7PM, and i came out of my company at 11:30PM! But, i had work to do, not i choose to "make" more work. But, 3 hours of silence and alone, is not that bad considering that you have nothing to do at home, and your office is located places where humans don't stay. This month of March, 3 people left the office. Just hope they will be in better place.

Today, i was suprised when one of my friend who is not a Christian actually forwarded to me a Christian email. I was shocked. One of the lines mentioned in the email, "we pass on all kind of emails, but we dont pass around Christian ones". Yea, it's true, very true indeed, and yet we speak off evangelisme and mission.

Anyway, i'm planning to watch The Fast and Furious 4 tomorrow, with few friends. But when i saw the trailer, it seems like the movie is very the "over". Digital rpm meter, the overtuned contena, seems like too much "action" being "added" into the movie. Let's just hope it would be fun movie to watchlah. . .

Anyway, i feeling sleep now, off i go.

P.S. Before you go, i want you to try this out, i got it from my friend's Facebook. Go to Create Message, turn on your Dictionary. Then type these numbers, 2352833127745136651

Earth Hour 2009

Oh man, no another Earth Hour post from a different blog, you might say. Hahahaha!

Anyway, with all this Earth Hour thing going on, here's my say regarding about this "event".

For me, i think Earth Hour is just nothing big. I firstly saw Earth Hour, probably last year at some of my friends blog, back then i didnt really bother to do it, and same goes to this year. I was talking to my friend few nights ago, and he told me, how he's going to switch off his lights and everything, and be proud of it. Most of the points he got, is either from the papers, or radio.

My points are, firstly the world is polluted! NO such thing 1 hour "light-offing" would reduce the global warming, as much as they claim (5%). IF even it can be reduced, you hardly even know the differentslah. You see, global warming is not entirely caused by light bulbs or energy consumption. Green house effects, CFC and logging (if that is what they call pembalakan in English), are some of the sources which causes global warming.

To cut my story short, i dont think one hour (bear in mind, not one DAY) would do anything difference. Also, i think some people do it, because they want to be IN "it". Probably they don't even know what is Earth Hour all about. Worst of all, some people might even be hoping after they switched off their lights, and the next afternoon when they head out to somewhere, they wont feel a thing, because the "warming" has been reduced. Some blogs which i read, the blogger mentioned it as gimmick, but i wouldnt want to put it as gimmick, because i do know they are sincere, but i would say that this thing wont work, and it's just hopeless.

Have you ever went to big companies and see how they on their lights and computers, when at night when no one is using? How companies will use A4 sizes papers like crazy for fax and printing, and when it's finish, they open up a new pack and refill it again, instead of turning the old papers back and print on them. Last time, during the petrol price was RM2.70, people said they WONT be using their cars, yet they still use their cars, and look at the jam they caused. Some car company came out with the so called enviromently friendly car, but it's not so wallet friendly. People around the world (and also the people who's staying next to my house), who burns rubbish openly next to my house (did i mentioned, they threw the rubbish at a place you're not supposed to throw). With so many cars on the road, so is many car waste, black oil. Where do you think they throw away the black oil? When you enter a restaurant, while you're eating, the people around you smokes their ciggarate, and and the smoke pierces through your nose. You want to change your place, but you wont, am i right? You'll still sit there, and just continue to inhale all those smokes.

Me-lvin

P.S. Anyway, the world is going to be doomed, so why bother. . .

My Work

Hey guys, sorry for not updating this blog for a long time. I'm seriously busy these days, it seems like i dont have time to do anything at all.

Anyway, for those who might not know i have started work for about 1 month plus already. I started on the 5th of February with City-Link Express.

Now, City-Link Express is not a bus company, like what many of my friends thought of. It's actually a courier company. City-Link provides documents, parcels, forwarding, warehousing, air, land and sea frieght. My company (chehwah! my company!!!), is located in Glenmarie, Shah Alam. It's not that near to my place, but yea i still can drive there.

My job is basiclly, Customer Service Assitant. Whereby, i answer calls from customers who wants to know the status of the shipment. The problem is that, sometimes when there are some customers whose shipments is taking way too long either more than a day, or more than 2 days. So this is where the hard part comes, when i have to take up this case and hand it over to my person-in-charge of the region involving the caselah. Then my person-in-charge will contact with the branch to find out what's the status of this document or parcel and then will contact back the customer to inform to them the status. The normal working hours are from 8:35AM to 5:45PM.
Mostly, i wont be getting much calls from 8:35-9:15AM. On the begining of the month, my working time was changed, from 10AM to 7PM. In the whole Frontliner team (the ones who answers the calls), there will be 1 person who works from 10AM to 7PM, because to answer the calls after 5:45PM. Before my time was changed, another guy begins his work with that time, now he has left, so the boss gave me the chance to work at that time.

I'm quite thankful because, it's easier for me in many ways, i can have more sleep (7 hours), i can beat jam (but it will still happen if it rains) and i dont have to rush to work. But of course, the downpart is that, when 5:45PM comes, everybody will leave the office, leaving me with my boss only, so there's no one to talk to. Also, when the time i go to work and leave from work, i'm all alone. Speaking of alone, during my lunch time, i eat alone as well, because no one's lunch time is actually 2PM-3PM! But i do enjoy it at times, because i can choose where to go to for lunch. Another problem would be is parking, since we dont have our own parking, normally we would park outside the building, so by the time i reached my company about 9:40 something, there isn't any parking, so i'll to park somewhere far away, either at Yakult, NTN Bearing or at DHL!
Below are pictures of my workspace taken with my lousy Nokia 6680 camera.

My workplace. Can be considered one of the best place around, because it comes with the MODERN phone, instead of the others who's having the old Callmaster III which looks like a 3 telephone directory/yellow pages stacked up, laser mouse instead of the old ball mouse (yea some of them having that), a Samsung keyboard which is SAME as the one i'm using right now at home, so it's totally comfortable and it doesnt feel ackward when i hit the button.

An artistic shot of my workplace!

The side of my workplace, as you can see inside my file is the RBS '09's Graduation Testimony book, yea i read just so i can't fall asleep, it was inspiring. On the bottom left, is the headset, which i put it on my head, it works like a telephone receiver, where i dont need to pick up the receiver when the custome calls, it just beep once and i 'll have to say the magic line "Thank you for calling City-Link Customer Service, this is Melvin speaking. . . "

Our jadual waktu for the whole month. . .

Extensions Directory. You know sometimes it's real pain, when someone wants to speak to someone, and then they just wont tell you the directory or which department? So i'll have to search through this directory for that person's name, but not all gets their own directory, some will share lines, so that will make the job harder to find for the people the customer looking for.


Basicly, that's some descripiton of my job, so now you might understand what i'm doing now. Anyway i belive customer service is one good job, because they are the only ones who actually interacts and connects the customer with the company, without them then people would have problem when they want to check on something or complain about something.

Anyway, i need to go now, i was supposed to take bath 30 minutes ago, and here i am sitting and blogging. Hope i'll be able to update on somethinglah, instead of keeping this blog blank.

Happy 21st Birthday To Rachel Tan!

Yesterday after woik, i went have satay dinner with Rachel and her friends, because it was her 21st Birthday! It was a good time, meeting up new people and learning medical terms. Just a little info, on how i knew her. We used to be in the same school, from Form 1 till early Form 6. I think, we became friends when we're in the Probation Prefects. I know, myself a prefect super nerd, right? Hahahaha! Anyway, i think the only moment we actually talk was during Form 6 and probably this year is the time, when i actually did talk to her.

She's a girl after God, and she always pleases Him. May her walk with Him continue to grow, and that He will bless her according to His will.

p.s. The balance satays you could eat for today's breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper :P

My Valentine's Day

First off, i want to wish Happy Valentine's Day to everybody who reads this blog. Sorry for not updating for so long, i got nothing to update muchlah, so that's why the long hiatus. For me, Valentine's Day is when i remember i'm still single, and this year's Valentine's Day marks 21 years of being single, Hahahahaha!. Anyway, i celebrated this years Valentine's at church. This year was different for me, as Teoh wants me to take pictures, so i was glad that i'm able to do something different this year (and i dont have to dance with girls who are so much more younger than me). I came to church early because Teoh wants to give me some briefing about what and how i should take my shots. During the "testing" round, most of the shots was kinda lousy and shaky. Since i'm using my brothers Canon 1000D, therefore i'm not that good with the settings. Took bath at church and just get my gears all set up.

My challenge as photographer is that i have to get good pictures all the time. The quality mustnt be shaky or bad quality. I'll have to snap outsiders pictures as well, so it's kinda hard for me. Remembers street photography? hahahaha! Also, i must remember when to snap the shots as well. Valentine's Nite started off with ice-breaker by Isaac. Then it was music band and drama teams turn. What the drama speaks off was true indeed. People these days try to get love from other places, from other people which they are not suppose to, items, lust, and so on. The story was this client was looking for this "person" whose name is love, and he went to this detective and try to investigate about that "person". So the detective went around and search "love". He came across different "loves" and finally he found one. Unfortunatelly, i forgotten what happen after that.

Then came the sharing part, where Uncle Voon Siong and his wife Aunty Mei Lin, shared about their love life. It was really inspiring how those days as young people, they live the life as Christians and how they trust in God with their life with. Next off was dance. The dance team came and danced to a song. The dance team leader, non other than our own Miss Eve, showed the dance move. It's funny to see how people actually tried to follow the dance move. After dance time, we went down for refreshments. Refreshement time was good, as we can talk to new and some of the old people, which we didnt see for long time. After that, straight back to home. Came home at 11:50pm. Straight away i ON my pc, and tried to tranfer the pictures to my computer. Unfortunetlly it failed. Since it was 1am something, i went to sleep, and this morning only i transfered the pictures to my computer.

Anyway, wheter you have a date or not, or you have someone or single like me, just remember that there are friends there to celebrate Valentine's with. As for me, i really did have fun last night, and i hope this tradition will continue on. Before that, let me share videos related with love to y'all. Such sweet videos.

I killed Spongebob!

Hahahaha, let me tell you what happened. I went to pasar malam with my father yesterday, as i was walking around, i spotted this shop which sells this burger, which is called Spongebob. Hahaha, good promotion, right? Below is teh pictures. . .



If you ask me how it tastes, it's different from different burgers, because of the bun. Other than that, nothing muchlah.

Anyway, wont be blogging much, cause my com is spoil. Currently using my brother's com, it's kinda lagging.

My Father

Earlier i was watching news at NTV7, and the anchor Ras Adiba Radzi was reading the news. My dad saw her and said "she's still seating on the bicycle?" out of nowhere. I admit, i did laughed, but laughed because he said "bicycle". Then i corrected him while laughing "wheel chairlah", then he replied "i said wrongly".

Then i switched to TV3, that time it was on World News. The news anchor reads out "Hamas telah menasihatkan Gaza supaya bertenang, gara-gara ada khabar angin mengatakan tentera Zionis akan menyerang kali kedua" (something like that). Then he said "these type of people should masuk inside ISA, spreading khabar angin". I laughed out loud!

Another day at Giant

It seems like these days, Giant has become my second home. I've been going there like 2 - 3 times every week. It seems like there's just something there for me. Yesterday, i went to one of the cafe there, just to try out their food, Walnut Cafe that's their name. It looks like high class place, but very little people there. Only 1 guy was there, when i came there. Then came the menu, the menu is just a simple laminated A4 paper. After eating i went walk around. I decided to explore places, which i never explore before. Then i saw something amazing! I saw a telescope for sale there. The focal length is 700mm!!! But the price is real killer, RM120!

Then off i go to another different place. Coincidenly, i saw one of my old classmate. She was same class with me, during Form 6. We chatted, then we left. As i was walking around, i saw another one classmate, but i didnt say hi to her or what just ran away, hahaha. Then i saw another one as well. Seems like the whole L6H can do class reunion at Giant, huh. Hahahaha! Anyway, i came to the point that, Giant is NOT cheap as what people claims to be. Yea, some products are cheap, but mostly, it's just plain expensivelah. I bought 2 packets of groundnuts, 2 box of tissues for my car (i have been searching for the right size of the box, because it can only fit in small box, and i could never find such size), small pizza (this one is a real money saver, you get that cheapskate pizzas for RM4.78 for 5!, Shapie marker pen and Cool Rhino.

Here's a video Darren shared to me, it's DragonBall the Movie. Honestly, which part of it looks like DragonBall?



I mean, other than the Dragon Ball, does the characters look like the one from DragonBall?

Splinter

I don't know if i should put this as "Fail" or not, but this is just weird.

What i'm talking about? I'm talking about Splinter, the World's First . . .(get this) Wooden Supercar! In a simple term, it means, this car is equivalent to a Porche, Lamborghini and Ferrari, but it's made out of wood. Hahahahah!



Picture Sauce.

Apperantetly, this car has the capability of going 240mph (386kmh), with it's mid mounted 4.6l supercharged V8 within its composite timber body. It can pump out 700bhp!!! This is what the designer, Joe Harmon, has to say about the "Wood is a truly amazing material to work with.

"It has a higher strength-to-weight ratio than aluminium or steel, and it possesses a versatility that makes many different types of construction techniques possible.

"The look, feel, and smell of a natural material like wood is not seen elsewhere and cannot be faked, and the satisfaction involved in making something from a piece of wood is awesome.

"This is a supercar designed to push boundaries and prove the potential of wood as a material."

Sauce.

For more info about the car, you can visit the designer's website.

I don't know what to say about this car, but certainly it's different from different. Wonder if anyone in Malaysia is going to buy it?

Me-lvin

P.S. Later if accident, kasi ketuk balik with another piece of kayu.

Tired!

I spent from the whole afternoon, till night (around 10pm - then from 10pm till now) watching this drama. It was on 8tv few months back. It's called Ghost. I still remember few months back, when it was on tv. I didn't watch it, because either i thought it was going to be lame, or i was busy with some activities, not sure. I just watched it this afternoon on 8tv, they repeated it. It caught my attention, so i went to 8tv's website and watched the rest of the episodes there.

The Drama:

The drama is about this famous actor (Zack) in Malaysia (something like Rosyam Nor) was killed in a car crash. But he appears in front of this journalist (Eza) where she's the only one can see him, the others can't. Something like Ghost Whisperer. Zack thinks that he was murdered. So i was seeing from one episode to one, different characters appearing in each episode, and it seems that EACH one of them is somehow linked with each other, and worse they are POSSIBLY one of the murderers. The story has it's twist and turns. I was quite suprised with the graphics, despite it's not as good as those in Hollywood, but i can see it's slightly way better than normal shows. I'm not going to tell the whole story here, but if you have the time, and nothing to do like me, go and watchlah. See if you can ever find who's the murder.

The Lessons:

There are many lesson can be learned from this drama. One particular lesson i learn is racial harmony. There are different actors with different race, but when they acted the drama, it seems so normal, and i guess that's how Malaysian should be. It was nice seeing that one race person having relationship with another race person, i guess that's how harmony can be accomplished. There was this Chinese Dato' who keeps calling Zack as "Jack". . . hahaha. The drama also speaks of the world and it's ways. How people could just do anything, so that they can get what they want, and escape with it. For the girls, don't easily trust anybody easily, despite you might know them. Well, you can trustlah, but not to the extend of letting him make your drinks. Social problem is another lesson which been potrayed in the drama. People lead their everyday live just like normal people would, but only they would know of their sufferings.

The Production:

I think that the graphics were kinda ok, but it can be improved more. Sometimes certain scenes dont look "real" enough, because of the "hantu's" shadows. I think they could had avoid it, then it would look real enough. It seems like every episode, there's bound to have a Colbie Caliet song playing in the background. One more thing, is the movements of the objects. I think it's pretty cool how they make the keyboard to "type itself", items moving around.

So basiclly, that's bout it. It's a good dramalah, i suggest you to watch it, but you might lose your hair trying to figure out who's the murderer. But just a reminder, 8tv's website sometimes got problem a bit, it lags, then when you click to watch part 3, it goes back to part 1.

Anyway, today i saw this big giant beautiful fireball, too bad i didnt manage to capture it. Was kinda lazy. Hopefully, it will come again this evening.

Luck, coincidence . . . or maybe it's just Streamyx.

For these past few days, i was unable to online at all. I thought it was my dad's fault for not paying the bill on time, so i just wait. I think i didn't online for the past 2 weeks already. I was using my dad's profile on my computer and then i switched to my profile, and as usuall MSN will auto connect whenever you turn on the com, and i just signed in into MSN just like that. I was shocked, so i asked my dad, if he paid the bills, but he say he didnt. So . . . what happened?

Anyway, these days i've been pretty busy. I plan to cut down my computer time little by little. I'm playing Need For Speed: Most Wanted now, thanks to James. So far, i have beaten about 14 boss, and left 3 more to go. The last night's boss JV is one hard one, i nearly gave up. How do i cut down my computer time then? I defeat one boss per day, and that's it. That's the target i set for myself, so that i'm not too hooked up with the game.

I'm still waiting reply from Air Asia, but since it's been 22 days, since i last apply, i think i'll apply somewhere else. Other than that, i think my photography had gone down. These days, i hardly use my camera for anything. If i have the time and money, and if i am free one the 26th of January, i'll go for this.

Oh~ and there's a new Giant supermarket open at Putra Heights. So i dont have to go to Tesco now. So far i went there twice. I still remember seeing it even before it was built. Can't belive time pass by so fast. First day, many kiasu Malaysians went there, until no more parking available despite the 600 parkings. Most of the people who use trolley there werent polite enough, they simply push people with their trolley and block the way. I went there the day before yesterday, it was goodlah compare to the first day.

So basiclly that's the only update i can give now. I don't know if the internet is going to stay like this or going to crash soon, so baik i cabut and post this firstlah. I just saw this video few days ago in the news, and i thought of posting here, just in case you didn't see it. It's funny, i tell you.

2009

I know it's kinda late right now for me to post this up, but nevertheless, i think i should still post up my goals, so that y'all might know what i'm up to.

I'm not going to make my typical resolution this year (which is to lose weight), cause i was never close to achive it. I think this year, it's more of a goal, rather than resolutions. One of my big resolutions this year is to put God the center of my life, let Him be the president of my life. I realised i didnt go anywhere in 2008, because i thought i can do something in my life by myself, and not relying on Him. But i was wrong. I am weak, and if i do things by myself, i wont never do it right. My 2nd goal is to get a job soon, and do my best in it. In the same time, i dont want my job to tie my neck. Which brings me to my next goal, which is to serve in church more. Possibly opening myself to new ministries as well. 2008, and the previous year (2007), i got the chance to serve in Drama Ministry, and i really appreciate the chance given by Him to serve in that ministry. Some ministry which probably, i want to get myself into more is Transport. Again, 2008 was the year, i finally manage to "conquer" the mighty White Van! I can't belive i used to be in that van for the first time, i came to SAGC, and 4 years later, i'll be driving it! Hahahaha.

New ministries, i will be into would be Music ministry. It's time to put my 4 years learning into it, but i have to have the concious mind, that i AM doing this to SERVE God, instead of bringing glory and honour to myself. Time for my Sting to do it's job. Photography is another ministry which i want to serve in too. I'm going to use my camera for good use (not that i used it in any bad ways, though) to snap for events in church. Which i remember Uncle Dexter (my pastor) joked that we should one day make a Photographers Day, where we submit our cameras and it will be prayed so it will be used for good, hahahaha!

For my job, i guess i want to be the best employee that i can be. I know it's going to be a hard job for me, but yea, i have to do it somehow, and not to fear of anything. I also want to change my attitude for the good, for staters, i need to be punctual. I realised these days (actually more like months), i have been coming late for so many events, meetings, and picking people to church. If i were to be in transport ministry, then i have to change myself, and respect people's time. Also, i pray for maturity, cause i think i lack of it. I laugh and joke a lot, which is not good at times. I also pray that i will start giving. Giving in what i can give and not being stingy with it. Also to be a forgiving person as well.

So basicly that's my goal for the 2009. I pray that i can archive it. It might take some time, but it's going to worth it! Anyway, i went to Air Asia to apply for job, and i think i might saw the suitable job till i realised i . . .

PHAILED!

Ampang Balik!

I was thinking of updating my blog with the typical "goodbye 2008, hello 2009" post, but then. . . it's OK, ill update it some other time. Anyway, i had a great day today, great in a sense great, and "great" as well. Yesterday (Thursday), we plan to go sightseeing at Ampang Look Out Point. Well, it's Ivan's idea. I had never been there, neither to Ampang, and from what i heard from him, it sounds kinda far away from my place. So we plan to go. Kinda funny how we plan to go, then cancel, then plan to go again, then cancel again, then go again. Finally we make up, we're going to go for it. Colin Gan followed us as well, so the more, the merrier.

So i picked Ivan, Colin and Kelvin Yee from Taman Bunga Negara, Alam Megah and headed to our destination. To cut story short, we LOST! We enter here there but still we're not even reaching our destination. Then at one time, we went the same toll twice. Oh! i did drive inside SMART Tunnel for the first time in my life! It's kinda err. . . modern tunnel. When i went inside, i saw this 2 big fans there (Wikipedia says that the fan is meant to recirculate the air inside the tunnel, as well as to extraction of exhaust fumes), then it's like a long stretchlah. After like few minutes driving inside the tunnel, we came out. I just hoped the toll will reach bout less than RM10, because i never drive there before, and i heard the toll is pretty expensive. It came RM2, pretty oklah i guess.

We've been driving for like, 1 hour plus, and going aimlessly, and yet not arrived to our destination. I wanted to give up, i kept on driving and driving, simply shoot directions. Then Ivan wants to go to toilet, so we stopped at a Esso station. After he had done his business, i told him to ask for directions, he asked. Rupa-rupanya, we're quite near to Jalan Hulu Langat, THANK GOD! So we turn back, pusing here there, then go to the next road, which leads to a toll, and to Jalan Hulu Langat. During driving time, i saw many accidents, quite terrifying seeing all those cars smashed, and lost the mood of going. Anyway, we lost again, and we asked for directions, and we made it to the hillside. It was pitch black, super black. So we kept on going and going, till we came to our destination. Paid parking RM2, then when up this steep hill, can't believe my car can actually climb on top, ahahaha! Reached the top, waited for parking so long, couldn't find any, and the time is 11:36pm. By 12am, something, the KLCC lights will be off. We park below, and walk up towards the tower. Penat gilelah, i tell you. It's was so steep. Finally made it to the top with little breath to spare.

Whipped out my camera, and terus aim and shoot!

My camera couldn't capture most of the light, because of the distance and also the setting. After i saw the first few shots, i switched to Manual, and set the ISO and the Long Shutter :P


Great Scott, it works! I used to mess with the Long Shutter, and the results were horrible, why? Because the pictures turns out white. I used to think Long Shutter is actually Shutter. After few experimenting, checking online and asking people, i finally knew what was the Long Shutter for. It's used for times when there's lack of light, and you can't use flash to get that "light". Flash gives flash, and light gives light. So i decided to use this technique to obtain a good picture. Believe it or not, all this shots were taken only by my Powershot A470! But, it's really hard to obtain shots like this. Because i had to place the camera on a tripod and wait till it focuses and wait about roughly 15 seconds depending on the Long Shutter setting, and make sure NO any SLIGHT movement AT ALL, or else it will turn out like the shot below. . .

I was testing out, if my camera could zoom in to snap the Petronas Twin Towers, since Long Shutter mood needs to use tripod, accidentally my tripod moved a little bit, and this is how it turned out.

Speaking of zoom, this is a decent picture after zoom. It didn't lose much details, since it was on Optical Zoom. If you notice, the picture is slightly uneven, it's because of the tripod, the tower we're on, is very dark, and i couldn't set the tripod on centre.



Experimenting with Long Shutter, ISO and camera's location.


Going back home. Colin is sitting behind Ivan, so you can't see him. Going back home was a breeze, as we go back home by highway, and it' was such a nice journey back, without any jam or confusing roads. Will i go back there again? Certainly, but with more money, and more people.
