When Passion's a Prison

HAVOC!

2010-01-31T02:51:00.000-08:00

I've got nothing to prove towards you. As i've died to defend.

Well,

Didn't have much time to update this blog, so I thought I should update a lil...

Assignments..
Midterm Exams...

What more do I have to say?

hahaha.. I'm in for a hectic week!

Very Unlike Me.. BUT

2010-01-01T23:22:00.000-08:00

Well It's Unlike me to post a rant post here on my blog.. I just have to share.

Do you find this Phrase offensive?
"Stop being so Serious "

Well, I don't BUT i find it ever so ANNOYING.

If you think I'm wrong, I'm open to comments. Care to share when must we be serious and when must we not?

I personally believe being too SERIOUS is just sad and well.. not fun. I have my share of FUN.. but it's all about the TIMING.

Try going around with poke jokes when the other party is having a huge headache or problem, I wouldn't be surprised if that guy snaps.

So for all of you out there who loves to use poke jokes / offensive jokes.. Doing it at the right/proper timing is all fun and laughter.. But otherwise, you'll just be causing unnecessary ruckus.

And " Stop being so serious, I'm just joking" is such an OVERUSED excuse for being a fag.

-end of rant-

So, hows life?

Genting Trip

2009-12-29T17:28:00.000-08:00

Well, it was same old same old.. Decided to head there early. So i went with my brother's car..

Stopped by Ipoh for some Dim Sum over at this place.

Well foods not too shabby here.

Then well, headed over there. And it was foggy.. day in and day out.. it was raining as well.. So much for photography. The indoors are SO CROWDED a simple stop to snap a picture, you would have someone bumping into you.

See what I mean?

X.X

Hard to think that there are strawberries from genting as well .. unexpected.

EXAMS ARE OVER + seafood

2009-12-14T08:10:00.000-08:00

Did several things today. First thing was I received and almost MIssion Impossible style of a task this morning. woke up at 8 ( thank god) and proceeded the mission and succeeded :P

Mission being : Collect MIS notes from Jean for last minute study . Well, thanks Jean for sharing!

Then, While in the exam hall, the lot of us went into the hall LATE. While also, Being the FIRST to leave. Aren't we just great?

Well that's not the main event for me today,
In the hobby zone, Proceeded to order my D300s battery Grip. Namely the MB-D10. It's bound to arrive tomorrow.

Oh I forgot to mention.

EXAMS ARE OVER!! -finally

So what do we do? We celebrate! How? head to Kepala batas to enjoy some fresh and cheap seafood.

Here's a picture to show you what I mean

Sorry for the bad picture, Taken with iPhone

~Menu~

Steamed Giant Pomfret(Tau teh)

(Image might not be big but this particular fish is BIGGER than an A4 paper )

Fried fish? good stuff though

Stir fried Chili Squid < top right >

Chili Crab x 3

Curry XL sized prawns < bottom left >

1st time seeing this = Steamed Black Pomfret (Or chiau) < bottom right>

And finally, some Petai = GREAT STUFF < far bottom right >

ALL THIS IS SERVED FOR 5 PAX. Indeed this is a FEAST!

And how much does this all COST?

NO MORE THAN RM 250!!

I belive that is something to shout about. On the island(Penang) for such a meal it will easily cost you RM 5XX

Well that's what happened today, So much for slimming down. FOR THE FOODIES!

It's the latest attraction added in the Pearl Of the Orient. And it is indeed.. GRAND.

Also, this would be my maiden photog. trip for my new baby. Along with Joseph, we went ahead and snap , snap, snipe, and snap.

The moment I reached, had one MAJOR problem. Parking.

Well one thign I had to complain about this trip is.. IT WAS FRIGGIN HOT . sweating my !@$ out.

While walking up the path, The new Roof was already in FULL VIEW. and it looks good. even from afar.

Not bad what.

I like this shot.

Feel it's grandness!!

Okay, I'll be posting random shots and that'll be it.

It's a place where you'd need to actually see it for yourself to feel the grandness

Candles...

No idea who this is, Just needed to photograph someone praying

Power of the Dark Side

2009-12-12T02:34:00.000-08:00

Nikons. Known for great low light photography. Poisoned me dearly into the dark side.

Upgraded from an entry level rm 2xxx DSLR kit. into a monster.

the Nikon D300s .

You heard me, it's a huge leap.

Photography? MAJOR REVAMP

2009-12-12T02:25:00.000-08:00

I started out this blog a year ago , with my trusty OLD MINOLTA D1mage A1 as my main photo slave.. it served me well..

Good old days.

Then my brother decided to quit DSLR and threw his Nikon D40x at me. Of course, I welcomed it with open arms :D

Thanks!!

Well, used it for a good 2 years and it has proven to have limit my wants..

With help from Dom's DSLR ( the Nikon D90 ) managed to poison by brother for an upgrade.

Guess what?

he did.

RAndom Rants

2008-08-04T09:26:00.000-07:00

Im going to Discontinue any updates on my personal trips to anywhere anytime, Will only post about IAPLC or Aquatics stuff soon after.. Why? Plainly because of some neanderthals keep spamming and screwing up my Cbox.. And I'm not a tad bit happy about it.. Claiming on stupid promises never made.. stuff like that.. (Note to asswipe named : John.. I know It's one of my friends who like to make other's life more miserable.. Nobody else knows about that.. and Sexy.. Bullshits really..)

Seriously, thanks a lot for the bullshit. it's more than usual that's all I can say.(Respond - You're welcome and I can say you my friend, are a insensitive screwed up guy who is lonely and isn't loved from young.)

I APOLOGIZE once again for not being able to continually update my blog.. Apparently I got too much in my way..(I have a job to do now) - Not going to share.. why? refer paragraph 1-

And as the title said.. this post is about random RANTs.. I apologize for not having a proper post up.

I am very forgiving(I don't really know why) I just need to know WHO and WHY!!(Just joking isn't a very good reason)

With great Displeasure,

N.Y.L.

Piling items!!!

2008-04-04T21:43:00.000-07:00

Well, as the title said my life is beginning to get piled up... but hey.. i have fun doing it anyways.!(the very reason this blog has been dead for some time

First things first.. I still have a passion and hobby for the hobby of aquatics.. and aquascaping!! ADA ( Aqua Design Amano ) Competition '08 's deadline is so near and i am rushing my tank for it! Well that's not the only thing..

My other hobby of dog keeping.. leads me ending up with 5 dogs..(yes FIVE) They're all bundles of joy!! But it isn't an easy task upbringing all these dogs...

And to think that's all my woes... College started! Im currently taking up Diploma is business in KDU college of Penang.. It has been good(so far) but i can sense in the near future workload and assignments etc.etc. will come...

You think that's all my commitments? lol.. some ask if I ever do sports... Yes in fact.. Paintball is the way to go!( kinda expected that though since i have been gaming trough my high school life anyways) But it has been sucking out my supply of $$ so I'll be taking it rather slow ...

And well in the music sector of my life... the best instrument i can play would be the piano...And i gotta keep practicing... It's fun to know how to play some songs.. But im at the lvel that I can't really read a Note at all... Nor to compare to any of my musically talented friends(yeap they're the ones who taught me all of it.) I also tried guitar with my brothers very very old guitar.. well my conclusion to guitar is.. that.. I REALLY SUCK! lol.. well no $$ wasted there.. sicne its an old guitar anyways.. But truthfully , my real interest of music lies towards club music and drumming( yes the beats!!) So i am currently fasting for a certain equipment called the Roland HD-1 V-Drums @ Lite!!!! yes it's to die for... wow... at this point in time alone... you can see i lead a busy life even without working..YET!

So to sum it all up.. here are my commitments of hobbies.

Piano

Dogs- will be talking more on them on another post.

Aquatics- same.. will be talking bout them more.

Paintball - KaChing!

Well my real commitment for now is college...

And my to do or to buy list is humongous....

So i'll just say it's only few things for now..

To get the drum kit..

To win ADA '08

Well, i can't really say more for now since i have some errands to run now...

Have fun reading!

p.s. Well i finally updated.. So ewe and juli can shaddup bout my blog being dead! LOL

Separation, Moods, and Oysters

2008-02-21T09:19:00.000-08:00

Sigh,

Never thought such a day would come, today, a very good friend, Haris , left for Aussie to further his studies. Will tell you guys bout my day.

It started out as usual early in he morning, planning my day, went all the way down to gurney drive to fetch Gavin. He then needs to tend to something at a studio he studies in. Then off to fetch yang peng and san. We then went over to Gurney Plaza to have lunch and to especially disturb a certain guy we know who is SUPPOSEDLY to start his work today ( Jacob Fred.) LOL. He wasn't there, what a disappointment.

Then off to fetch the 2 who is bound to college(already) juli and Wei ewe. We then go over to Haris's place and wow! I can gladly say it was a HUGE parting . a handful of relatives and friends were there to see him off. then time to go to the airport (the 'longest journey' ) well this wasn't like all the usual so called partings, the moment we saw Haris's face, we started cracking jokes and laughed until the final few minutes where the real emotions started to show.(and well it was all going smoothly untill a certain event happened AIYO) But before that, the journey there was packed with fun and laughter and to think 7 people would fit in a Honda CITY comfortably . WOW.

Well he went off. The impact of the very fact that we won't see a friend that commonly anymore. Tears, Hugs, Handshakes, were all exchanged there. And yes we were the sound effect specialist - who else ( Yours truly, GAvin, Yang Peng, San, Juli, and ewe.)-

Well when all that was over, I had to drag the bunch (except juli) over to my place for a little break. They had fun with my so called -collection of puppies- and stuff. lol. No they're not stuffed toys, real puppy dogs =D.

Then dinner time was crawling by, well, where's cheap an good? INDIAN FOOD lol. We were stuffed and Gavin looked sick.(prob. spices) lol.

On the way back downtown, we had an idea to go bowling but we must drop some of em off to do some errands . Gavin(reunion dinner) , San(god knows what for) , and we( me and ewe) tagged with yang peng to his family party. Yes we are party crashers.LOL. we quickly made an exit and went to fetch the group-AGAIN- . And off to Penang bowl.

WOW my bowling skills are so.. unbalanced. Strikes-Spares-then empty shots-then back up again LOL.. yes its kinda depressing ahaha. And as usual san started to feel hungry while gavin still doesnt feel like eating after the indian food LOL.

Off to Northam Beach Food court. we ended up seating by the seaside table where gavin and san is constantly being splashed by the sea LOL. Yang Peng and I tucked into 6 delicious morsels or RAW OYSTERS. this is disgusting to most of the people here but i think it is lovely. GAvin felt sicker after seeing the 2 of us happily devouring the once alive oysters. LOL.

Well , as driver of the day, it is also my duty to drop em off back-AGAIN- And here i am, at home sitting at the computer and excited to the fact that this post is my blogs 2nD POST! wow!! That'll be all. Kinda sleepy now.

-The Driver- LOL.

1st go!

2008-02-05T07:34:00.001-08:00

Well , my 1st post for this blog, wahx.. I'm just doing this cause I am so very very bored. Well, it's kinda late now for me so i won't really edit or customize the blog till after CNY.
