Taking it apart

DSC_4545

Took my laptop apart today, just to fix something simple – my LCD.

Initially, I thought that the hinge on the right is broken; but only to find out later that the connector was loose.

And this saved me money and the time to send it to a technician.

Thank goodness nothing serious to repair.

Before and After

It’s amazing what Photoshop can do.

These few weeks I’ve been doing some film scanning and here is an example of the scans I did.

DEK01_0020B

The colour was bad, the tone was out, colour faded and everything.

 

But when I put into Photoshop for some colour enhancement and correction, this is what I got.

DEK01_0020F

It’s amazing isn’t it?!

 

Anyways, if anyone is interested in getting their negative films or slides scanned, do let me know.

容易被影響的人

平時自己不精進了,就不要再去影響他人。

若讓他人斷了慧命,罪業有多大呀!

Giant ants

I always love the after rain.

Cause it’s the time where droplets of water would hang in fragile, and a light touch would cause it to drip down to the ground.

It’s also the time where insects and creatures and people would come out and enjoy the fresh air.

Here are some photographs for everyone to enjoy. Till then, take care.

Find the owner

I found this item during my photo shooting, and I decided to return it to its rightful owner.

victorinox-catalog-7351_1b

Yep, I found a swiss army knife. The owner has got his/her name etched on to the blade, so it makes searching the rightful owner a bit easier. So here are the details:

Item: Victorinox Swiss Army Knife

Name Etched: Shin Chee Fai

Item found: Around Petaling Jaya Area

Condition: Brand New

In order to return the item to its rightful owner, here are some requirements for verification:

1. The person must produce 2 (TWO) valid identifications (IC / Passport / Driving License etc) in order to match the name etched to the knife.

In order to prevent fraud,

2. The person must describe the knife he/she owns. As there are so many various versions of this Swiss Army Knife, he/she must be able to describe the tools that came with this blade.

and finally,

3. The rightful owner should claim the item on his/her own. No ‘on behalf of’ allowed. No mailing the item around as well, unless there is a solid reason I see deem fit.

 

And to other friends, please help me spread this message out. I would deeply appreciate it if you guys could help me find the owner of this beautiful knife. Thanks.

做事不麻煩他人

做任何事項,最好是盡量不讓他人麻煩。

平時開完會以後,都已經是晚上十點、十一點了。

那時候,想到自己要麻煩他人載我回家,就有點不好意思。

但是就是有那麽多的菩薩,不嫌麻煩,還是仍然把我安全的送到家門去。有時候甚至到了門前,還願意花時間跟我聊天。都是很感恩有這些無私付出的菩薩。仍然,那個覺得麻煩的心還是始終存在。

要怪,就得怪自己有時候爲何要扛起那麽重大的責任。還得自己那麽多會議要出席。有時候,還得在一大清早就起身,為的是參與重大活動。

那麽早,哪有公共交通?而晚上十點完畢的會議,若搭公車到家時已經是將近十一時半了。

一樣的告訴自己,做任何事項,最好是盡量不讓他人麻煩。

直到這一天,不想發生的事情發生了。

一場大型活動的前一晚,因爲活動前的籌備,我已經38小時沒有休息了,所以決定早點回家休息。因爲忘了安排交通回家,就看見身邊的一位伙伴,明知道她載我回家是有點不順路的。可是問了她,她還是很歡喜的答應送我回家。“可是還有一個人要跟我一起走哦!”她又再補充。也剛好隔天的交通也沒安排,就再麻煩她一次,她也毫無介意地答應了。

就在她說要離開的時候,她要載的人到了。而我的事情還沒辦好,就拖了時間,結果兩人在那裏等了十分鈡。離開后的路上,車主一句話都沒說,旁邊的載客就開始嘮叨了。

都講要走了,你還在那邊托什麽?難道你們Petaling那邊沒有人可以載你回家嗎?明天一早還要特地去載你。那麽麻煩,難道就不能擺脫Petaling那邊的人載你去嗎?

聽到這些嘮叨,讓我心裏更難過,後悔麻煩了這位車主載我回家。自己的眼淚都快要掉下來了。

那時候,如果知道如此事件會發生,自己那麽累也一定要搭公車回家,誰都不要麻煩。那時候後悔都沒有辦法回頭了。可是明天的交通還是可以自己解決,我只好回應說:“我已經將近兩天沒睡覺了,覺得為了這些事情心理很煩。既然你們覺得我那麽麻煩,我也不想再麻煩你們。明天我自己搭Taxi去好了。”說完,自己覺得很想離開,找個角落來哭。

車主聽到了還是很冷靜地告訴我:“不要擔心,明天我可以載你。”

這真個點點滴滴,讓我有了深深的體會。如果可以不需要麻煩他人,就乾脆自己來好了。既然沒有交通,就算在緊急的時候,還是搭Taxi好了。麻煩了他人,自己也沒有好後果,而還造成對方造口業。

Tired

I’m tired of asking for something that is originally mine.

I’m tired of having to listen to other people making decisions for me.

I’m tired of having to entertain these types of people.

I’m tired of people comparing this and that.

I’m just tired.

 

Just because of one simple thing I’ve decided, these people decided to say this and that.

 

Why can’t you all just leave me alone?

I don’t want to be someone I’m not. It’s just not right.

Singapore: A Different Perspective

Went to Singapore for a few days and really enjoyed my time there. Went to a few places, some for free, some have to pay.

I think the most expensive ticket I paid was for the Singapore Flyer. Sky Park at the Marina Bay Sands is worth a visit as well.

Anyways, here are some of the photos taken during the trip.
