How I despise censorship in Malaysia
Imagine one day going to a bookstore, you’re an adult with buying power. You want to buy a book or magazine so that you may enjoy the content(hopefully) that you paid (say RM120). Now imagine what you will feel when after paying for the magazine or book, you then proceed home, open the book/magazine and find that its been censored with black marker pen.
Some fun with figurines and wrapping paper.
What happens when you have the whole Saturday evening to yourself, a macro lens, some wrapping paper and a rin nendoroid?
An experiment in nendoroid photography.
The paragraph that is Asia.
I had just finished reading an article at reuters you can find here. For some reason I couldn’t help noticing the incredible similarity that his country was facing. Well not really its just that when I read this paragraph
When I could get a word in edgeways, I asked Mohamed why there weren’t more protests like last year. “I’ll tell you,” he explained. “The people are not united, they are afraid to go out and protest. And, of course, most people are too busy trying to feed and educate their families.”
It struck a cord with me, let’s face it! Malaysia has a lot of shitty problems and yet no one does anything about it. If the government stinks, get rid of them! But Malaysians are just simply contend with maintaining the status quo, not because they are lazy (well partially) but because they are not united, afraid to take risk due to the education system they were raised in schools and at home that non-conformism is shameful and wrong.
We are all the same, regardless of skin color, religion and culture but because we are taught that inconformism is something like communism of haydays people are afraid to go out and make noise about it and those that DO want to make noise but cannot due to their inherent fear of persecution by the government who would be more then glad to crush any small rebellion with their use of ISA will always remain where they are, NO where!
But you might ask why can’t a lone person change anything ? Let’s face it, only those with immense power can singlehandedly change anything alone because power makes change. I guess this is why the Malaysian loves to keep the Malays, Chinese and Indians as segmented as possible, to prevent from creating or forming something the current BN party is afraid of which is all of us coming to the realization that we are being fucked everyday by them while they enjoy the fruits of our labor and they have whores sucking them off (and blowing up anyone with C4 that even looks at them funny!) . They are terrified of the people coming together and getting rid of them either via election or bloodshed.
I hope this article doesn’t get me arrested under ISA.
Nyorooooo~~~~
Man, am I exhausted! Didn’t get any sleep last night as someone was banging on a hammer all night till 3am in the bloody morning! It would have gone on even longer had someone not finally fucking lost it and went over to the guy’s place to tear him a new one.
The hammer banger was so terrified that he didn’t dare come out of his apartment. Immediately the banging stop but if it starts up again tonight guess who is going to be the next guy to go postal? ¬_¬
I want to sleeeppp~~~~~ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
nyoro nyoro~
Some new Ilford Delta 100
Thought I had lost these photos but luckily I managed to find them!
OH oh! I found them!
A roll of developed b&w film I thought I had lost months ago! It was actually inside one of the programming books I brought along to work! I’ll be scanning it in tonight!
Also I found my missing credit card! It was accidentally left at one of my favorite places to buy camera gear, in my rush to get home that day to beat the traffic jam I had forgotten to take it! The shop keeper kept the card for me till I came back!
Sometimes it does pay to get out of bed.
Today at work I decided to give kinokuniya a call about the book I wanted. The book actually it wouldn’t be even available until August 2009 on Amazon but for some strange reason Kinokuniya has it already!

Somedays it doesn’t pay to get out of BED!
You know I like to think that I’m like everyone else even though I detest the idea of being similar to everyone else as I hate conforming to society. Maybe this is why I don’t have a girlfriend.
So in saying that, I wish today had gone better for me just like it has for everyone else!
IELTS result.
Tragedy has struck! I flunked!
My results are as follows:
1.Listening 6.5
2.Reading 6.5
3.Writing 6
4.Speaking 7.5
Over bend average is 6.5 which is not enough for my ACS application. I need an average of 7.0! GRRRR! Now I need to resit the test AGAIN! RM550 bye bye!
This so peeves me off! I had thought my writing was a sure WIN and if I was to fail, it would because of my listening. Surprisingly, I scored better in my listening than my writing!
Pity I can’t find out what went wrong. Oh well chin up old boy! Time for another round!!
Leng Yein corset model session.
Last weekend I went for a model shoot organized by Cruizer176 (who by the way has some really good connection with models throughout KL so if there is a model shoot by him, I always take a look and see if my schedule permits it.)
This I agree, Earth hour in Malaysia is full of bullshit
“It is amazing that people are so easily taken in by a mere publicity stunt that fails at the very essence“

I think I fared very badly today in my IELTS exam.
Today I sat for my IELLTS exam at the British council in KL. I think very badly, why? Well for the listening part, there were tons of references to telephones and credit card numbers…..Oh dear….
Then the reading portions, I fared okay but I wouldn’t say top notch.
Next it was the writing portions, the main topic? young people today spend too much time in front of the television (as well as watching too much reality shows).
I think I wasn’t detail enough in my arguments (4 pages) for this topic. I mean seriously, who wouldn’t consider that today’s youth spent too much shitty time watching TV!? What makes it worse is that they spend it watching crap! Like Survivor! Or desperate housewives! I so hate these modern tv shows now! Heck I hated even the ones back then! They were boring and lousy, also 99% of the shows assumes we have no brain!
I especially hated the shows where everyone would follow it gingerly like it was the only important thing in the Universe!
Anyway, I’m going off track here. The next part was the speaking part which as me to explain what I knew about one particular topic on a blue card that is randomly drawn from a lot. My topic was “Photography”…………….what? wait, what am I missing here? In any event, I think I was incredibly too detail with my answer, everyone of them she asked I would have a lengthy opinion about it.
Oh well, if I need to sit for this exam again, I don’t mind and I’ll be sure to reel my details back a few notches…..

How I spent this weekend.
Any questions?
Cross tower
Here is another work…
Yes, this is a photograph…..
More pano shots.
Click on the image for an even larger size. These was taken using 50mm, I find that a pano shot using anymore more then 35mm yields the best so far. I tried to use 17mm so I wouldn’t have to take so many shots but it seems there are slight distortion evident on the final pic. But using anything more then 35mm is great!

My latest attempt. This one was done using a tripod rather then my previous attempt which were done using the camera hand held. The benefit of using the camera on a tripod instead is that you can close down the shutter to f8 or f11 and at shot at a longer shutter without causing blur or without using high ISO.
Model shoot, Theme: sports
Sunset…..with a twist.
Enjoy!
Click here for the large size one.
Till then, pleasant dreams!
