SkyChin & Passion

Late greeting in the month of February,my life is as preoccupied as a star.This week was a painstaking one,we had 3 core subjects at one go,what left is GP and Econs Test,not to mention about Moral Study presentation.

Blogging is always the best way to hark back things and regain what we were almost oblivious about.The urge to constantly come out with one post regardless of how busy and tough life is,I believe that you all would have noticed that this blog has traversed through the many stages of my life,and it will continue to progress for a lifetime longevity.


Being many years studying in Korea,finally there is a chance to catch up with Joel during the Thaipusan holiday.It so happened to be a holiday and the only day I could barely squeeze out from the killer schedule of mine.There is finally a chance I could fetch Joel and Lit Yang since I passed my driving test in 2 years back,time flies remembering last time when we both went to a school competition having to have lost on the way finding the right place.So that's this opportunity I could really do this!

So that hangout out lasted for a few hours because we all had things in hand.Went to Mid Valley for lunch and had a long catching up conversation in the Manhanttan Fish Market.At that instance,I nearly lost my iPad as I unconsciously left it on the couch of the restaurant,thank Joel and Lit Yang,and the restaurant staff for helping out while I managed to leave the parking lot as they went to find my iPad.At that time,I frantically finished my Chatime Matcha Latte in the car without much taste as if my tasting bud malfunctioned because I was practically so freaked out that I wasn't enjoying the tea at all.Later,when things got into order,we went back home for good.

Started my first translation task for the year,I'm getting back on the track of writing but things just get more challenging.Gonna finish it within a 3-day deadline,fortunately I was stealthily fast and did it in a less than 24hrs basis.In future,I would need to turn up in KL for meeting and job delegation.Life surely is not easy

We all know road is the place we share and being on the road has somewhat occupied a big amount of time everyday.

Road rage often takes place in my place,rude honking,tailgating,abused lamp flashing,kill-steal parking,uninformed lane switching and so much more you could only come to name it yourself by hands-on experience.

There's this emotional struggle when someone had broke the rule and nearly caused an accident while what they did was to point you the middle finger just exactly like the uncivilized ones.The battle between your true conscience and the obligation to stay calm is a big crisis.Wouldn't you have responded to some vengeful resorts like speeding up more to tailgate,honk,flashing back that arse?The other part that holds you back is to remain calm because the actions you are to commit are indifferent with what the arse did to you.

Just came across to one on the way back from Dad's hometown,there was this driver who drove his car and changed his lane without looking at the side mirror,or he might be intentionally doing it.We got the shock of our life and honked him for a second or two.Later,what he did was to stomp his brake hard to provoke us,what we did was to respond to that brake and lit up the high beam to warn him.

That fight continued for 5 minutes,later that driver fled away using the emergency lane.We were left real furious for that moment,and took some time to calm down ceasing the tendency to not mock him in the heart.There's this incident I can quote describing the norm of drivers in Malaysia.We all wanna go home joyfully without any hatred but I just can't grasp what those uncivilized fellas are thinking.They just don't like driving peacefully on the road.

The last week in college was a long one,thankfully we only had one replacement class squeezed into the timetable.Yesterday rendered me no motivation to study at all,we completed our GP presentation,overall it was a success.We later went to KLCC for a lunch and I swear I won't ever want to go there anymore for its congestion.Nothing beats KLCC for its crowd and it's good for nothing,you queue when you eat,go toilet and even using the escalator,crowd is no where around.



We managed to have a toast session with the tutors Ms.Veronica and Ms.Jeswynna on Thursday.Despite it was a very rushed session that took 5 minutes to toast and drink,we sure had fun.The only thing I wanna rant is we should team up together not only in toast but the aftermath.Fortunately,some friends lent a hand in cleaning up the mess later which I really appreciate.While some just pat their butt and fled away :(

I'm still working so hard taking down the acne in my face but it really is a tough course.Hopefully I could have a fairer face during CNY,the skin has worsen quite a bit these days.

Wish everyone an early Happy Chinese New Year!

It spent me that long to make up time for the first post in 2012,I've been losing a lot of sleep lately with so many events tied in hand.

Thankfully yesterday's CNY sketch was a success,we had practiced so hard in the past 3 days.Despite hard work paying off,my life would have figuratively reduced for 10 years if life paces at this rate in the future.

My resolution for this year is only to nail the A-level examination,hopefully I might be able to get what I wanted.Things are getting tougher,we are taught to write critical essays in the upcoming test.

GP teacher assigned us an assignment about historical person,with this conjunction I've of course chosen Steve Jobs as the theme.We have worked out a terrific presentation in tribute to Steve Jobs.To me,an admirer of him,I'm so pleased with this opportunity that I can convey his story as an academic content.Well,the presentation is on the coming Wednesday,let's see.

Such a shame to write about,lately I have only discovered that my speedlite features optical trigger on its own.Never aware about it before until it's now 2 years old since I bought it.With optical trigger,producing sharp and mind blowing photos on a compact camera is now possible.Cutting all the hassle of bringing DSLR out for a meet just to have great pictures really makes life easier!



The magic thing is you don't necessarily need a pro body to trigger up a flash but any low profile compact that has a flash.You have significantly low noise and better detail with speedlite.Sadly,mobile phones with LED flash cannot trigger up the photo sensor.


Bought this as a read for my assignment.I'm constantly inspired as I read from page to page,it surely is an amazing read.

Another good news is,Mum allowed me to drive out meeting my best friend-Joel for a single day.Waiting for Lit Yang's exam break and we will come out for a meet soon,I'm looking forward for it.Have not met him for almost 2 years till present.Thankfully Mum allowed this! *phew*

So now it's the last remnant for 2011, the time we keep track of the resolution we vowed to what we have done so far.For me,this year was never a short one nor it was too long because I have done so much in this length of time.



It kicked in with the period of myself wasn't certain about the future after SPM.Soon after,I started to work in the secondary school for 2 months as an IT assistant,with all the hardships and efforts I earned my first payout later.That later led to the purchase of my first iPad,I learned about how things are earned but not given at work.I learned about give and take and became maturer as I work because you deal with different and incomprehensible things when you work under someone.2 months just passed in a glimpse,I wanted to work longer but my A level May intake was nearing in around 1 week.



The other episode of me later started in TarCollege,I came into the college as an A level student and have now completed the first semester.Fortunately,with all the hard work paid off,I managed to retain my scholarship.Got to know new friends and amazing people there,I took the mandate as class rep in the class to learn more because at that time I was oriented with the spirit of working after sometime working as an IT assistant,after all it really is a great effort to serve people,never regretted about this.Will do my best to fulfill my job in the next 10 months later in 2012 :)

And lately,I ventured into online trading with a friend selling mobile peripherals.Despite it didn't turn up really promising but I had a better picture about online trading,the knack of dealing with customer,suppliers,logistic and cost management.

This year,I'd only finished reading one book,The Devil Wears Prada.Don't know how it's for you,but it's a big leap for me because I hardly read printed book but digital media.To my confession,the gratification of reading real book is incomparable for its continuity in story and the scented paper.Gonna get the SteveJob's chronicles after I finished the other one.



A significant makeover took place in this year,dyed my hair in the October.So far the color has not faded with just a little hair growing out.Happy with the copper color,will have some touch up before 2012 Chinese New Year hehe.Just went to see Dermatalogist in Clinique yesterday and I'm now in the progress of getting rid of acne problem.

All and all,2011 isn't a destination for me.There is a long journey awaiting me in 2012,the climb I have been longing so badly.We need to take down just another year!

After having to consume so many boxes of Vita 500,I have finally perfected the collection of 9 for the thin bottles category.



The sense of achievement is truly conceivable,snapped these using my rotten 50mm 1.8 which is already having some fungus mushrooming the front element few months ago.It still serves me well with scrumptious and vivid photos after some tweaking done in photoshop.

If some of you happen to be collecting the Vita 500 bottles could try your luck dropping a comment here.I'm still having some extra Vita 500 bottles here,soon I'm going to get them recycled already.So hurry,I'd check for you.

Speaking of which,I took this long to realize that I love my 50mm 1.8 until it was found growing fungus.In spite of that,it still works fine producing Bokeh like it's a new one.You would find a tight 50mm frame actually helps you tidy up your composition and makes you move more to picture a photo.Compared to last time,I liked the 50mm merely for bokeh and fast aperture and nothing more will make me hook up for better picture.

Holiday isn't much left now,I've been busy hanging out with the old friends from primary to secondary friends.So this is a post about my secondary school hangout took place in Times Square.To hangout with the old friends is also a spiritual means to show you have not forgotten your roots.



We all have changed a lot as we part our life with different choices.Some UEC peeps have just finished their exam and still in dilemma about their further study,for us the road-not-taken bunch are lamenting about our new environment.Hmm not really entirely lamenting,we do appreciate now than before.For me,never regretted leaving CHKL early to pursue my dream,no doubt.

To keep in touch after leaving school is never an easy effort like the words seem.Mutual effort is the key to making up a meet out which I'm particular happy that we all truly made effort to keep in touch.You might have needed 10 reasons to show up in a meet out which you truly are not interested but one to refuse.A movie session,lunch meet will do as long there is genuinely a puny little intent.This is real story.

I truly believe that mutual influencing can be really helpful to shape our upbringing that will influence our future.Hand in hand spirit may deepen the faith in a friendship and you don't really need to make a big leap but just maintaining that very common interest in getting to know each other's happening once in a while,that will really do.

Today was a tiring one,watched Petaling Street warrior and spent some time playing arcade games in Times Square.We sure had fun I guess! :D

So dozy now,hitting the sack soon.
