im not in the mood. yes, hilmi is mad. that's not easily done. medium. rare? yes.

ARGH! i cant bloody click!?!?! it was azrin's game. that penguin whatever u call it. i saw him pressing it so darn hard. ARGH. im mad. really mad. i want a new mouse. i really do. ARGH!! i might get one in phuket. MAYBE

nways. tonight, i had dinner with Along and Kak Erol at Westin. Prego Italian Restaurant. exquisite. hehe

had pizza, pasta (yum).. mocktail and juices. and that nice wild mushroom soup. haha..

after that, joined my parents and their friends at Lafite ShangriLa. Yes i now, i love fine dining. Sue me. haha

had an orange juice. must've cost at least RM20. haha

hm other than that. always the usual. became their photographer. not that im complaining!
but. it kinda sucks when ur using ur talent. but u dont get anything back in return. but lesson learned from papa. he always says 'takpela, buat sedekah'. haha..charity? yes.

so yeah. have some photos to share. but m REALLY LAZY to post it now. haha. cos my tummy is aching. and im exhausted. preparing for the trip to phuket though. hm anywho..

tomorrow ill be at the Canon HQ. Gonna get my EW-73B. haha ill post the pic tomorrow. its a lens hood. nyaahaha. and also. gonna get a new printer+fax+scanner AIO. hehe.

OMG!!!!!!! EOS 40D is out!! OFFICIALLY!!! ARGH!!!!! I LOVE THE NEW LOOK AND GRIP! looks so like a 5D! SHIT LA.. I WANT!..i saw someone who claims that he bought it for USD 1115.00 only. nice come together lens though. was an L too. man. i sure would like to taste that new b***h. hahaha sorry for the vulgar word. 10.1 megapixels. why shouldnt i scream? DIGIC III. What else is there i could ask for. but then again. it is always peculiar to get something new. and would be a waste of my 30D. nawh. if Lara Jade could capture great images with her 350D, what could my 30D do. =) Allah bless me. =)

Nways, i should be THANKFUL with what i already have. I SHOULD!! AM i?

so ok. im gonna go now. toodle doo.

Love is Cinta

Jehan and Hilmi - miss her so much already

my 'brought forward' birthday!'

the two birthday ladies ;) mother and daughter



Afiq..as usual...*cough poyo cough*


Najihah, min's friend, mimin, mira, jijo




and yes. the lot. Jehan Aliff Afiq and......... afiq's friend.
Yes i know, the movie sounds lame. but watch it. Once ur done, let me know ;)

the movie is a great love movie. though it has some star wars flying around here and there in it. spoilers! nawh. i wont spoil it la.


Anyway, sorry cause i didnt blog yesterday night. was too tired really. not that anyone would be bothered to read my blog anyway. so yeah....

yesterday night, papa and mama held a Kenduri Doa Selamat for me and prays for my safe journey to and back from UK. study hard and what not. those are the words i've been hearing so many times. and ill make sure to stick it to my heart.

Many turned up, familiar faces, family members and relatives. My neighbour, Uncle Rahim and Auntie Sarah came first. haha Syeikh wearing a jubah a.k.a Thob. very nice of them to drop by.

Anywho, Aliff+Jae+Afiq+Haris+Enbi+Cherrie+SookHui came! haha thanks alot! =D
It was also to celebrate my cousin, Amirah's bday. it was her 15th. I think. Hahaha
Yes Yes how these people grow so fast.

So i didnt get to take much photographs, cause i was so caught up with J, fiq and aliff. haha it has been a LONG while since any of us met. Haha so yeah. had catering from Mum's Place. Uncle Christopher even dropped by that evening to check on everything.
SO yes, the photo's. Bad quality really. my flash has been dissapointing me for so many times. wondering what is wrong with it. =( might send it to Canon again. Will see how.

I have to pack!! im going to phuket in three days. sheesh. two. minus now. haha


so today i went out. with akma. to KLCC. bet some of these people reading my blog would be grinning. haha nways. we went for a stroll around. after waiting for her 'arrival'. 30minutes?!? haha usual. but hey. be a gent. haha


we had lunch. at Chilis. yes that is how it is spelt. CHILIS haha.


I had a huge burger. phew. she had only tacos. haha. that explains our sizes. haha

we then went shopping for her 'presentation' clothes. She even insists on not having a made in china type. haha. we found a few good ones. well good to me la. but the nicest, was in GUESS! RM 369. Nice look. Perfect fit. can u believe it. she wears an XS?!? she's so gonna kill me for writing all this down. haha.

We had a very LONG chat. about our familes. about ourselves. Somehow, nowadays i feel like im caught up with her. no we're not together. BUT somehow, there is a bond. not sure how to explain but yeah. it kinda fits the 'Love is Cinta' Movie. Not being sure of whether u love that person. or even have the guts to say I L-O-V-E YOU? nvm. haha so yeah. i think im so gonna miss her when im overseas. haih. she's been someone who i could rely on. someone i could trust my secrets with. someone i can share my faults and not get beaten up cause im wrong. and feel the warmth when she stands close to u. sometimes, she says the darnest sweetest things u can imagine. and sometimes, naughty as she may be, she still has that soft heart of hers. well like she always says, LOVE is not an easy thing to be told to someone. it takes a whole heart to say it. and honestly. i think so too. =) but yeah. Uncertainty always deepens. It somewhat kills my mind when i have to think that, we're JUST friends. Are we? well only God knows what. And i bet she'll be laughing too. or maybe even dissapointed to see i AM like this. But im really sorry. I just have to say out what i feel. =) itll hurt if i dont. karat. get it?

So yes, thanks for being there for me. really appreciate it. and im sorry if i did mistakes which are impossible to be forgiven. but really. i dont wanna say this. but it keeps pouring out from the tip of my tongue. every single moment i think of her. well, u shud guess what it is ALREADY no? haha

So, yes, ill just leave these matters to Allah. and let Him settle it for me.
p.s: kohol all the way!! =D

So yes. i woke up so early in the morning. haih. tired and depressed. cause, of all the UK trip packing i had to do. syeesh. anywho, that afternoon around 3, we departed for Genting. on the way there. papa was having chats and what not with mama. me ira and eam having our ipods stuck to our ears. as usual =)


we arrived the same time as Along. This time we have a new family member. Kak Erol! or Khairul Fazilah. hmm welcome! haha.. they just got married not long ago. a month plus maybe? nways, we started unpacking. and what not. and got ourselves to our rooms. man, what a relieve. though i wasn't driving. it was really tiring. and fatigue started to talk to me. HILMI! haha.


That night, acik and her family arrived. with their waja coming closer to us. we helped them with the bags. and the attendants carried them to the room. before they arrived, we had dinner at this restaurant called Lao Da Feng or something. wasn't nice at all. yerk. i bet everyone just kept their mouth shut so that they could feed themselves. haha. but yeah. i cant complaint, the food is still edible. =) syukur!


The next day started off easily at 10am. man, early crap. haha. nola..i should have woke up earlier. but it's my vacation!..haha yeah so we had breakfast. and yes. it was really break 'FAST'. haha and got ready to head to the outdoor theme park. It has been a year since ive been there. don't know how i used to enjoy going there ALL the time. but years have passed. and ive been going on the same rides over and over again. BORING!


and yes, we went on the rides. except for me. i was happily taking photographs. of my family and also the thrills they had =) a photo here to show the 'fun'. haha


yes we then had dinner on the next day, at the Olive. an italian fusion restaurant. very nice. beautiful atmosphere. good service. hmm the price. hahha. the whole sensation was utterly cool. uber fun. haha snow world and all.


the whole trip was a good one. i had fun alright. though i didnt go on much rides. but i did have fun. really. especially cracking jokes with the family. and such. well let the photo's do the talking. had lots of good things. deco's. Landscapes. people. and what not. my photographs mght not be outstanding and powerful. but i sure hope the message is there. =) do comment and critique.

Sunday 19 August 2007

P.S

the images in the blog have been editted and have been scled down. the quality has also been decreased. just in case someone tries something fishy. hehe =)

Eyes of EOS

WOW! I had the time of my life today. no not because of the models. Instead, i was more interested in the lenses the people brought in. man, how photography is so expensive.


these people, ranging from ages 20+ till late 40's, have great gears. And i suppose, great skills too. Hehe. Anyways, for the first time in my life, i saw a 400mm f2.8L IS USM!!! OMG!!!!!!!!! super huge lar. i want it for my bday present. No No. I want a 5D..the sound of the shutter. click!.is still steering arounf in my mind. Hahah.


the outdoor event was amazing. People learn from each other. Like how the other people helped me out. That is when they saw me having trouble with my images and sort. Hehe. The most catchy phrase i could remember today was. "Beghat Sangat nih. Duo Kamere. Aduh. Pedih tul bahu." This dude, im guessing from Terengganu, had two camera bodies. and 2 L lenses with em. said those. haha..weird. cause. he was so excited when the models were close. and he thought me a few tips and tricks. lighting la. composition la. aperture. Tv. and what not.
Whilst the photoshoot was going on, something rare happened. a predator eating its prey. nyahaha. there was an 'arms length' snake, it was swallowing, yes ladies and gents, swallowing its prey. a slimy ugly fugly brown leaf frog. ergh. yucky yes. but thats life.

omorrow im heading to genting highlands, with my family. for a week trip there. It has been awhile since i've been there. a year maybe? ever since i started college, limkokwing, i didnt have much time for me and my family. oh and i heard about keith and kevin's grandpa, he passed away. well according to keith's MSN. Have been trying to contact keith for a few days now. Somehow, i feel that he's on his FOCUS mode. =)


Oh well, two more weeks and im off to Birmingham. Wondering still what lies ahead for me there. Might not be blogging for five days. and yes, i promise to take lotsa photographs while im at it. Below are todays photographs. Do enjoy.

p.s: special thanks to phillip chong, teohpk, andrewkoh, georgetan for the great time.

The models:





Snake Eating. Not Snake Eater =)
VIEW AT YOUR OWN RISK

oh and yes. my arm hurts. errgh.
