It's a Family Thing

this point of time LAST WEEK... i was at home... being so blur that the clock was gonna strike 12 SOON.. teehee!

and this was wat happened LAST WEEK's TOMORROW

hehe! after dressing up accompanied by the constant "HURRY UPs" from my parents...
we had to take a family pic la :D
a decent shot for the family's keeping

and a FUNNY 1 for the blog!!
excuse my parents and popo la.. they still not awake :P

then we journeyed to my ah ma's place for breakfast! (altho breakfast was prepared at my place -.-)
wanted to take a pic of how the shoes mount up as the morning ends.. but then i FORGOT about it! and most ppl were there by the time we came... so there's only 1 pic.... :P

daddy went home to get some med for my grandaunt..
it's so convenient that our homes are so near :D

the RED family!
no.. i dont have a compilation of the different colored families... cause only this family was color coordinated :P
fr left: Melanie, cousin Ching cheh cheh, Ah Lai koko, Nicholas
the Siok Sendiri-ness runs in the family
Dot: *focuses camera*
Cousin Milton: *focuses camera*
Cousin Ching: OOH! papparazzi! WAVE!
sigh... :P

hehe! Guess WHO??! :P

Tea Session...
Daddy and his mommy =)
a trick i learnt in class... when the background's too bright... ON UR FLASH!!!

Mommy
but then ah ma's too pale... or maybe the flash landed on her...
so i turned off the flash... not bad! the pic wasnt blur (remember that Sonee's temperamental indoors -.-)

my ever so mischievous brother
he was told to bend LOWER cause he's too tall... but the joker bent OVER -.-

wahahahaha! the self proclaimed super star! :P
Em! i used the bag u gave me! no bad.. could fit quite a lot of ang pau(s) :D

A Series of Comical Tea Serving: Presented by Uncle Lawrence

shot#2: to make up to the stalled tea serving moment, uncle lawrence demonstrated ULTIMATE Fillial Piety by giving countless "kao-taos" (bows) to my ah ma

just when u thot his session is over...
shot#3: he passed comments on ongoing conversations that were not captured

shot#4: FINALLY! a decent shot :P

On the 2nd day of CNY, Cousin Ching invited us over to her place for dinner.
LoW-ing the Sang :P


GONG XI FA CAI to ALL my lovelies! =)

I DONT WANT MY HOLS TO END!!! :(

Homework!

oh the long back-dated post on my photography assignment!

we were supposed to create a scrapbook with the pics we took of
a) macro shots
b) outdoor model shoots
c) a marathon
d) Black & White
e) Landscape

we went to the Taman Bunga Raya in KL to take macro shots of flowers... it was an irony tho.. cause Sonee doesnt have the macro function... i was pretty upset that day...
BUT!!! to my surprise, Sonee behaved REALLY well! and she managed to capture these shots!
LOTS of shots were taken la.. but these few were chosen to be compiled into the scrapbook =)

"Thing"
the idea of the shot was to capture the flower with the stones as the background... but suddenly i saw a spider creep out... :D
i think i named this Bunga Raya.. hehe! ran out of ideas :P
lecturer showed us a video of tips in taking pics. the host mentioned that when taking pics, we should walk around the subject to find for a best spot.
as angling is very important for macro shots... i LOOKED UP and saw THIS!
*shutters away*

"Eat This Photoshop"
teehee! this was taken with my cousin's nikon *** (couldnt remember :P) when we were in Perhentian.
i love this pic cause it looks like it's computer generated with the flawless white petals and the yellow center... YET! it's actually a picture of REAL flowers! with no editing! KENG le?! :P

"Life"
the focus of the pic here is the pistil of the flower, which is the reproduction organ of a flower! hence the title =)

NEXT: Outdoor Model Shoot
OOH! the assignment that i DISLIKED the MOST!
cause i knew nuts bout wat's a nice model shot and it's really depressing to stand next a whole group of classmates that have DSLRs -.-

nevertheless, i found some pics that i like =)

"innocence"
model: Jesslyn

model: Lu Xanne
oh! this wasnt included in the scrapbook cause her arm was overexposed :P
and there're 2 tones on her face...
actually i accidently put this pic here la..
but oh well! :P
"Wind"
yes.. i kinda failed in taking still shots of the models.. then Sab decided to spin and GUESS WHAT?! hehe!
p/s: do NOT be deceived by her angelic look :P

"Hot"
heh! this 1 no need to explain lo hoh? :P

Part 3: MMHA marathon
-.- we had to wake up at 5.30 in the morning to get ready for this assignment cause the marathon starts at 7! PFFT!!!
this was actually WORSE than the model shoot... actually.. i dont like taking pictures of people... not with Sonee (for assignment purposes)... cause it's HARD! (camwhoring is a different story altogether :P)
thankfully, with some coincidence and angling, Sonee and Dot managed to pull through =)

cant remember the name of this pic either!
wanted to take a pic of the winding road.. and a motorcyclist came by! :D
the motorcyclist added depth to the pic.. hence making it a better pic ;)
-.- i seriously forgotten the titles!!! I WANT MY SCRAPBOOK BACK!
well... it was a walkathon.. so die die also i should have a pic of some people walking rite? :P
"hold my hand"
teehee! before this couple were my lecturer and her fiancee... wanted to take a pic of their backs with them holding hands... BUT!! they didnt... however, the couple behind (the owners of the shadows) did! so i took the opportunity lo! :D cause shadows more artsy i think :P

there were (what's isi tersirat" in english ar?) stories to each picture that were captured... but then ar... i lazy to type la.. so u're just reading what i'm coughing out in the spur of the moment :P
"where's my ball?"
ok.. let me give u a glimpse of the stories i wrote...
for this pic... it was PLAIN coincidence that the boy was staring at the goal post.. and the train passed by...
the train represents modernization of our country
the boy represents the children of this generation
the football field represents a child's game...
the missing ball represents the kiasu-ness of parents in this generation that have chosen to push their children so hard.. for tuition... to score better and BETTER... until finally....
their child will only know how to SPELL F.U.N yet NOT know the TRUE meaning of FUN!
heh! DEEP le? well.. in the scrapbook it's writen in a nicer form la... i'm just writing this based on what i could remember :D

now for something lighter...
Black and White pics!
i love taking pics in B&W.. it automatically gives the pic a story... altho there isnt exactly a story to tell when the pic was taken :P
"MY swimming pool"
MY here carries 2 meaning... MY in caps is the shortform of Malaysia and MY is My la.. get it? :P
so yea.. this pic was taken in Perhentian...
it's kinda like one of those pics that could be used for a cuti-cuti Malaysia kinda campaign...
the idea sparked when i recalled the ad done by Australia's tourism board... a kid said "we've removed the sharks from our waters" and the sea was UBER blue!!!
so similarly... this picture shows that waters of Malaysia too can pass as swimming pools :D
heh! this 1 no story la.. it's just a meeting between a camwhore and a cam-pro wannabe! :P

"9-5"
this was taken when i was in Ipoh... after i got the photography assignment... mom went to get some knives sharpened... and i had the idea that pics of ppl doing something in black and white would look nice.. HENCE! =)

last but not least, Landscape

this was taken in Perhentian (gosh i miss that place!!!)
why is it nice? heh! i dunno! :P
i just like it.. it would look nicer if i took from the same angle as i did for the pic with my bro in B&W
but i wasnt thinking when i took this pic... :P

"solitude"
OH! i WAS thinking when i took this!
we were on our way to the island.. it was a crazy bumpy ride... but FUN :D excluding the backaches it caused us :D
then i spotted this loner on the sea... so i tried to zoom as much as Sonee could take me.. altho we didnt get to capture much of the ship... but i oh-so-LOVE the blueness of the sky and water! :D and the way the clouds swirl!! :D :D

hehe! this was taken when i was in Redang... it's supposed to be a sunRISE! but it kinda looks SET-ish here...
i blogged bout this pic before...
it's thus far my FAVOURITE landscape picture :D

teeehee! if u noticed... 2/3 of my landscape pics were taken in portrait! i kinda thot: DIE!!! when my classmate brought it up.. cause i never thot of it that way... i just thot landscape would be on sceneraries.. THANKFULLY my lecturer was gracious enuf to accept the pictures =)

oh yes... how can a scrapbook be filled with only the masterpieces and not the...

Master, or in this case MISTRESS herself! hehe!
pic courtesy of Sab

if only ALL assignments were this FUN!
i miss the photoshooting sessions we had...
anybody wanna go out just to take some pictures? CALL ME!! :P

the jouney continues...

I WANNA BLOG!!!

but i cant really think of anything.. or maybe i have something on my mind.. but i'm just lazy to put them into words :P

well.. but for the benefit of me faithful readers...

here's something random...

MY DREAM!

i had this WEIRD dream last nite!

dreamt of a flying prawn... yes.. u read right... PRAWN! it flew like a cockroach!!!
mind u.... a prawn's bigger than a cockroach lo!! and it isnt exactly the prettiest thing alive... *shivers*
i think it attacked... well.. it didnt fly straight at me la.. but it was in the same room as me! so it posed as a threat to the Dot toO! hence we'll use the word "attack" :D
so yea... 1st there was the FLYING prawn...
then...
there was a SHAPE-SHIFTING CENTIPEDE!!!
1st it was like it's original worm-looking shape... but then!! it turned into a pancake-looking thing!! ROAR!!!
it was fighting an ANT (as we all know.. centipedes are poisonous.. so i expected the ant to die pretty fast la.. but miraculously it survived!)
then the centipede shape shifted and came towards me!
my bro tried to kill it.. with a broom -.-
even in my dream i thot... that's impossible! the centipede so hard.. the broom so soft... sigh...

heh! u all still with me?

some WEIRD dream hoh? oh well... not been sleeping well these few nights.. kept waking up to pee.. :P too much info i know.. hehe!

well.. that's all for now! until i dream of...

OH!! i've been dreaming of using a NEW cam TWICE in a row!!! hehe!

now lets hope that dream comes true alright! :D
