BG Relationship

BG (Boy Girl) Relationship is something which you don't have to go to school, college or University and earning a degree for it. It's something quite natural derived from the instinct of human beings. Something that has been embedded in our human genes to look for the other partner. According to the chinese old folks, each and everyone of us have been tied together with our partner with an invisible red string before we were even born. It will then be our fate and destiny to look for our the other half when we are in the human form. Some of us might not be fortunate enough to have partner coz they (people above) might have forgottten to attach the red string due to some unexplain errors. Interesting huh?

Inspiration

A friend of mine as well as photography friend, Mick (http://micklong.multiply.com/photos) had recently posted up a very inspiration album entitled "Me & The Darkness", consisting of self taken portrait. This is one of the photos which I'm very fond of. Just read the proverb!

Very true indeed! Thanks Mike for sharing!

Exercise vs Dieting

Standing at 165cm and currently hitting the scale at 66kg, I am actually at the level of being overweight. A friend of mine asked me earlier of the year what's my resolution for year 2007 and I simply said "losing 7 kgs this year (60kg) ". That time I was 68kg and he took my answer with a sinister smile and said "We'll wait and see".

I was still in an idle mode of losing weight until a good friend of mine approached me and asked me to become her bridemaid's for her wedding in November. Wow, a bride's maid..I gotta look good for this! Determined to look good and feel good, I started with more consistency going for hiking with Triora during Sundays if I can make it, going for squash and lately I started brisk walking. I realised that my stamina is really bad during hiking. :(

Yesterday after a full dinner, I stepped on the weighing scale and the needle pointed to 65.5kg. Another 5.5kg to go and I'll be reaching my targeted weight. Another friend of mine said to me recently that execising is useless but dieting is more effective. As a food lover myself, I totally disagree of what she said. I still eat whatever I like especially during the weekends. With this, I'm gonna prove to her that exercise is good and I still get to enjoy the food that I love like ice creams..hahaha..

Around Cat City

I'm gonna be out of the office the whole day today and become a tourist guide around Kuching area. Will post up some photos after the trip.

He Says She Says

Having studied in a SRK and SMK school means there's no Chinese education for me since I was young. Being a Hokkien chinese but was unable to speak in Mandarin have had me avoiding those people who is talking in Mandarin all the time or most of the time. Yeah right, I'm a banana so what?

Since the installation of parabolic satellite at home, I have been following Mandarin speaking programs most of the time and I can say that my understanding of Mandarin language has improved a lot. Only if I had to then I would try to open my mouth and speak the language. That is of course very much broken Mandarin or Rojak Mandarin + Hokkien + English.

One thing that I can't understand is that, most of my good friends around me can speak Hokkien but sometimes they just have to speak in Mandarin even though they know some people in the group cannot speak this language. Why ah? Why? What's wrong with Hokkien or English since everyone can speak those two languages? Imagine going to France or Thailand and you just dunno what they are talking about? How would you feel?

Padawan Outing

Last Gawai holiday, I managed to go to 10th mile Padawan for photography outing with a bunch of photography enthusiasts. We had breakfast at Swee Sen Cafe which is famous for their different range of prices of handmade Kolo mee. The cheapest being RM 3 and the most expensive one is RM 30 (upon request).

After breakfast, our first destination supposed to be Padawan Pitcher Plant and Orchid Garden but who knows, it only opens at 11am during public holiday. So, we ended up at Semenggoh Wildlife centre just in time to see the Orang Utan having their meal. Entrance fee is RM 5 for students and RM 8 for an adult.

Lucky for us, there were 6 Orang Utans all together that day. The daddy utan, mummy utan and the baby utans.

The daddy utan is really cool and he's already 27 years old.

After all the ooohs..and aahhhss at Semenggoh, we went back to Pitcher Plant & Orchid Garden again. Entrance fee is cheap. Only RM 2. These are some of the photos taken there.

It was a great outing and I had fun! :)

My other link

Photography was one of the thing that I've discovered a few years back. Back then where got thing call digital camera?? What is digital camera and how it looked like I also dunno.

I first got my camera when I was working in Informatics. It was a Canon Prima Zoom, if I'm not mistaken. I bought it in 2001 with my second salary. Fascinated by beautiful photos and pictures, I took a lot of photos too but then since it's a film camera, a lot of money was required to develop the negative. Bad point huh..

Then, I upgraded myself to a digital camera in 2002 with Canon Powershot A70. It has been my darling ever since. I took it almost anywhere with me even though it's kinda bulky. It has been very loyal to me until year 2006 when it begun to show me symptoms of getting sick. The screen started to display errantically and sometimes it blanked out. I took it to Canon hospital for quite a number of times until the technician also said there's no more hope..:(

So, what do I do..I got myself another digital camera, more compact one this time. Canon Ixus 800 IS. It's cute, compact, light and not so bulky as my Powershot. Of course, the functions are not so great though. I let my Powershot rest in peace and now brought along my Ixus everywhere I go. Still not satisfied with the functions of my Ixus and encouraged by my photography friends, I bought another gadget, a DSLR, Canon EOS 350D. True Canon fan huh?? Haha..

Ever since I got my SLR, I found out that I can do a lot with it, however, I'm lacking of certain gears. I only have the standard kit lens and a 90-300mm zoom lens with me. No filters nor appropriate tripod to go with it yet. Photography is indeed a very expensive hobby huh? Still lousy in handling the SLR but I do encouraged comments and critics or any improvement guide for my photographs. Do view my photos at this address: http://alnpng.multiply.com/
