A follower or free thinker?

I always have the problem when people ask my help to take photographs, particularly events kinda photographs. When you ask a person for help, always respect them, trust them and let them do what they're good at. So, just SHUT UP and let me do my work!!!

Today, UTAR held an ice-breaking session with the freshies for the May 2008 intake students. I was initially assigned to be a helper at one of the game stations, but a change of fate, they changed my tasks to 'photographer'. Well yeah! Why not? I kinda like to go around places and shoot my photographs, the way I LIKE IT and the way I WANT IT.

There was this committee member of ice breaking team, 'shoot like this, shoot like that, use wide angle shot, don't use flash.... etc, etc.' Hey man! I know my camera better than anyone else. So why not you just f*** off and go somewhere else. Use your own camera, for god's sake.

So a lesson to everyone, I know you're good at what you're doing, and you should always get advice from those experienced. If you're SOOOOOOO GOOD, please please please please show respect to newbies and guide them properly, instead of saying 'follow this and that'.... Pick the right words!!!

At the end of the day, I don't know whether this guy is just plain dumb or what, he ask those who want their photos to write down their E-mail address. I was like 'WOW! That's crazy man!! Over 150 E-Mails to be sent out to!!' Anyway, I did what I could, I compressed all the photos and sent it to PhotoBucket. So you can get the UTAR Ice-Breaking Photos - May 2008 Session here.

Nice game and good work to everyone!

Is it me?? Or anyone else??

Sometimes, I feel sad and down. Sometimes feeling as 'high' as the sky. Sad, because I'm feeling alone even when I'm surrounded by friends.

When friends are not there, I feel that life is not worth it because you live a life of deceit and people just use you to get to what they want. I'm always having that feeling, perhaps I'm just not happy enough. Save me!! Give me advise. Am I just that person who always be used and not being able to get help when ever I need it?

Looking at the bright side, perhaps it's I who owe these people in my previous lives. Perhaps they're just here to get back what I owe them. Good thing right?? I don't know. You tell me.

Hopefully I would be able to find the strength to move on, be stronger, be ignorant sometimes, be a person who can say no to certain things. May God be with me and in good faith that I will be able to have true friends to share my stories.

If you're a great friend, I'm sure that you're reading my blog right now. Want to show me, contact me and I will donate RM 5 to Tzu Chi Buddhist foundation to aid the victims of Myanmar cyclone and China earthquake. You can donate too. I can tell you more when we stay in touch.

Cherish life.

Movies and Natural Disasters

Hmm... It's a while since my last post. Well, you can see that natural disasters happened around us... Myanmar, now China.... What NEXT?!

Well, can Iron Man save us? Superman! Where are you?! How nice if cars can become Transformers and help out in these disasters... yada yada yada..... I know, I watched too much movies...hehe

Anyway, Marvel studios is coming up with more movies, making our childhood toys and cartoons come alive... with hot, hot artistes! Hah! Incredible hulk coming soon, and I doubt I'll watch that coz I don't really like the green giant (sorry man...).

Last but not least, Step Up 2 : The Streets is going to hit 'the streets' this July... and I'm SO going to get one.... See ya! Take care.

The 11th Hour

I was kinda free today, so I sat down to watch "The 11th Hour", produced and narrated by Leonardo Dicaprio.

It is a fantastic documentary, talking about what is happening to our earth, why and how we can do to help, with lots of interviews with many people.... yada yada yada.....

But what really caught my attention was that we are going to loose this "Unique BLUE planet" if no further actions are taken. Well, that's the truth and we should be ready for to PAY for what we've done to our mother earth. Following few years, you should be seeing more natural disasters... more problems including lacking of food and water, etc. What you CAN do now is by asking "what can I do to help??"

Well, first of all, let me tell you people who like to 'TAR-PAU' (take away).... STOP "TAR-PAUing"!!! Go and eat your food at the restaurant or if you're really rushing for time, there's something called Tupperware! Stop using those white-coloured polystyrene to pack your food!

Secondly, switch off all your electrical appliances that are placed on 'Stand-by', especially YOUR mobile phone chargers and PCs!!

Thirdly, *I know that you don't want to continue reading this*, visit these few websites for more information on what and how you can help:

Earth Hour
11th Hour Action.com
World Wildlife Fund
An Inconvenient Truth

AND watch "The 11th Hour" and "An Inconvenient Truth".

So, be SLOW and SMART.

SLOW, meaning "Do not live lives mediated by marketplace or what's being sold. Things are thieves of time because the more things you love, the more time you have to spend working, the more your life is chained to a rhythm to get those things".

SMART, meaning "Frugality, not in Poverty. Use available resources WISELY"
~Nathant Gardels, Editor of New Perspectives Quarterly.~

Yeah! Psytiphic is here...

Hello everyone,
Mike is in the house, starting the blogging process...

I know that the name sounds weird, but it is as simple as "Scientific". So basically, I'll blog about some dumb but cool science jokes.... Perhaps more than that.... *shrugs*

Anyway, I was at McD today and a friend of mine asked for a favour. "Can you help me check the tyre pressure at the gas station?" Sure, why not?

It was then she pointed at a label stating "Angin dan Air" (In Malay language, meaning : "Air and Water", and "Air" in Malay (pronounced aaa-yer) does not mean "Air" in English) and said out loud, "Hey, there's the "Angin dan 'a-er' ". A few of us were laughing our heads off as "Angin dan 'a-er' " both meant the same thing!


Sorry about that... kinda lame, I know.... But who knows?
Something might happen and I can tell you more about science in my Psy-tiphic world.
