I wish to have a doraemon, so that i could go back to the past.. and i can slap the old me on the face and say "wake up, you despo!"It was the biggest mistake I made in my life, being with him is so wrong.. I gave up my reputation, all the cold stares and rumors behind my back are just not worth it! OMG! Only if I could go back again.. It's of course a good thing that I'm no longer in contact with him, and if i do.. I don't know I needa die how many more times ady.. I'm a bad girl.. yea whatever.. you guys can carry on saying that, but i bet if you're in my "heels", your desire of killing yourself will be two times greater than mine..! No doubt! PS: I will not make the same mistake again.. I e I ai~ *because of you*

 Feeling weird, because didn't blog for almost a week.. lost track with what i'm doing.. probably only remember concert, dwayne's studio, sherlock holmes, sia interview.. urgh.. *i really forget* FML It's the drama's fault, I'm currently so obssessed with a taiwanese drama (Autumn's Concerto 下一站, 幸福) , starred by vanness wu and his hot body XD.. It's so damn good, it makes me cry like a baby.. hah! Also.. I'm thinking should I start watermark-ing all the pics i post here, or should i just post the original ones? Should I? Should I not?Anyways, i have tons of pictures to update, remember the sungai congkak post i promise earlier? I haven't even start to resize the picture yet.. FMLand and and.. recently.. i came up with an idea, hmm.. may be i should cut down using the f-bomb in talking.. including FML,OMFG AND WTF.. (my signature hand sign is an exception, of course)PS: I broke my bracelet.. T___T.. and I received a saman of speeding.. freaking rm300 gosh

Have you guys heard of Bokeh? I was so fasinated about it, don't mind me, k.. I'm not a photography student =p.. Well for those people who are as blur as me. In photography, bokeh is the blur,[1][2] or the aesthetic quality of the blur,[3][4][5] in out-of-focus areas of an image, or "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light."[6] Differences in lens aberrations and aperture shape cause some lens designs to blur the image in a way that is pleasing to the eye, while others produce blurring that is unpleasant or distracting— "good" or "bad" bokeh, respectively.
text from wikipedia
So, got it already? If you still don't, please proceed to the pictures below, and with the courtesy of Dwayne Foong*with my tiny bit of help*, he is going to further explaine how to get the BOKEH pictures..  No doubt, it was an eye opener for me, but it was a very last minute impromtu shooting, so Dwayne did not prepare tripod, hence this is the only BOKEH picture with object, which is me, can see =D?*Proud*  Instead of a boring round shaped lights, u might wanna try out something like love, star, clover and whatever it comes to mind. NOTE:The size of your cut-out will affect size of your custom bokeh- so play around with different shapes and sizes for all kinds of neat looks! :)  So, in order to please your sight, u might wanna do something like this. Which is, first please prepare tools as shown above. Preferberly, hard cardboard, but it is ok if you don't have it, It will be fine so long the paper is dark enough to cover .  1. To begin, take a strip of paper and form a ring around your lens- (or u can measure your lens)
2. Trace a circle of your lens size, and later trace another bigger circle outside the initial circle. The bigger is to be cut like (picture below) to spport the cylinder.  3.Cut the circle, and roll paper to cylinder shape to fit lens circle.
4. Cut a square in the middle of the circle ( could just use scissors too. It doesn’t have to look pretty! :) 5. Now. cut your desire shape as shown above, you can cut a few in a square shape paper and stick it using a double side tape, so it's easier for you to change the shape while u're shooting.(I'm using my eye brow trimming scissor LOL because it's small so its easier to cut tiny shape =p)
6. Use your creativity, draw any shape you want, you can even try alphabets.. (Use a decorative punch if you have one, it will make your life so much easier.)
 Final product will look something like this.. BTW, Dwayne called this " the custom made condom" for the lens. LOL  Sorry for my lousy description.. it's my first time doing tutorial like this, anyway.. i hope u get what i wanted to say XD.. starting for below are Dwayne's description =D  Hello guys, In order for this to work, it is recommended that you use a SLR (digital or otherwise), and a big aperture lens (i.e. 50mm f1.8).  Proceed with manual focus and turn it to the minimum focusing distance, iso 800 or 1600 (you will need this since there's very little light coming in), Av mode and set it to the lowest aperture number (i.e. F1.8 or F1.4).  Now you can look for a light source, preferably small, bright and at a distance. For this tutorial we have used christmas decoration lights at a distance of about 3-5 metres away. Street lights at a distance of 5-10 metres work s as well.  Now as you put on the "custom made condom", with the camera settings as mentioned above, point your camera towards the light source and start clicking away. The shutter speed will be at the region of 1/30 or less as most of the light is blocked by the "condom". You can also experiment with the bokeh size with the focusing ring. The custom bokeh will appear largest at the minimum focusing distance and gets smaller as you focus to infinity.  Pictures taken from google  You may experiment in front of your christmas tree, or ur chinese new year decorating lights =p  I hope this tutorial is helpful. Experiment and enjoy! By Dwayne Foong (and meme! XD) PS: It took a lot of effort for me to make the "condom", k? So please appreciate this, and comment pls is you guys wish to see more tutorial in future! =D

Venue: Centre Point, Bandar Utama (Kitchen creature)
 1# So, I told Dwayne that I'm utterly broke, like seriously, i left more or less rm20 in my wallet and some more he suggested to dine in a western restaurant *FML*.. I was so freaking worried that i will have to end up washing dishes at the back of the restaurant, but thank goodness.. look at the price.. I was damn delighted.. Furthermore, Dwayne said he's going to buy me dinner, so yea.. I'm free to order whatever listed in the menu.. hoho~  2# Aside from the food list in the menu, they have this behind the page.. Above is part of the article, it says "We welcome all feedback. negative ones will be ignored."and from there, i think this guy really love his mother lots? Wanna read more? HERE 3# Before I forget, this place is tax free =D Thumbs up!  4# This is Beef stew, eh.. it tasted like soup kambing to me... XD  5# and the strongly recommended dish by Dwayne, it's Baked stuffed mushroom (stuffed with crabstick, and flavoured cream cheese) Yum! Something you won't find in other restaurant =D  6# My shrimp aglio olio, it's ordinary, very ordinary.. I should have choose the pizzas instead, and both are around the same price T__T  7# Bacon carbonara, again.. very ordinary..=.= Actually, it tasted not bad, but i've tried better ones, but of course it's slightly more expensive.  8# Look at the background, I like the concept of their restaurant, it's similiar to Delicious, just that they don't have sofas and pillows in the restaurant. I like the atmosphere, my fav singer - michael buble's songs are playing in the air.. Hmm.. TWO THUMBS UP. Sorry for not taking much picture, I was so into the food and atmosphere. XD PS: Thank you Dwayne =D Escargots next time? hehe

"To be or not to be, that is the question" - William Shakespeare-
Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, UK, US, Aussie, France, Rome all in a year, why not? I willing to give up everything I have right now to pursuit freedom, title and a better future. Tell me, who doesn't? No doubt, there is always chance, but what about youth? Can I stay 18 forever? And you can resume your studies whenever you want, but what about time? Can we pause and start whenever we want? Dilemma, that's what it is. I'm still hesitating, should I go for the interview next saturday? What if I'm accepted? Then what's going to happen to my studies? I have no time to waste, same goes to money. Minimum of 3 years bond, what if I regret? or what if I wanna get back to study in future? It doesn't sounds good of being the oldest in the class, where all my friends already working and I back to school? No way! I'm thinking, may be I can go on with the line.. The figure is so tempting, I bet even fresh graduate can't get that amount for a starter. How ironic? P.S. What is more important, degree or experience?

 Dream, when you're feeling blue Dream, that's the thing to do Just watch the smoke rings rise in the air You'll find your share of memories there
So dream when the day is through Dream, and they might come true Things never are as bad as they seem So dream, dream, dream I don't know why, but I just have the urge to write this down.. and the song, it intesified my broken dreams. With a blink of an eye, high school is already so far away from me, and one more year, 4 more semester and I can head to US to archive my dream.. Some of you may know, it has been a dream, a goal for me to work for google and I thought taking ADP will bring me one step closer.. no doubt, it will.. definitely, but only if I'm as wealthy. I'm withdrawing from ADP, and yes, I'm back to square one. My future is so shaky now. Few days back, I had a conflict with my mum, and we never talk since then. It was my mistake, I was devastated when I heard the news, when I get to know that financial has became a great problem in today's society, in my family, especially.. I was so furious, so sad.. and I'm litereally raising my voice at my mum, I didn't tell her how much I hated that, to ask me to give up for what she had given to me. I was throwing tantrums, and I believe what I said has indirectly hurt her feelings, argh.. How fucking inconsiderate! However, I'm given another path, to graduate locally.. basically i'm going to start foundation again and continue my degree in Unisa, Taylor's. That's the max i can ask, because I can't let her to bear all this burden by herself, and my brother, he's graduating from high school very soon.A while go, I talked to my friends, my primary schoolmates actually, and I felt so embarassed, not because I can't study abroad, not because I have to do my foundation again, not because my life not as cool as them, I felt so embarassed because I do not know how to appreciate what I'm having right now. Most of them were like, "rich kid la in taylors","walao.. 100k can support my family dunno for how long ady","7A's still what? my family can't even support me in any uni here, not even the cheapest."... i got lotsa stuff like that, and I feel terrible.. "身在福中不知福" (Meaning: Growing up in happiness, one often fails to appreciate what happiness really means.; not to appreciate the happy life one enjoys)The proverb that best describe my naiveness. P.S. Although It's too late right now, but it's better than never.. I'll not do the same mistake

Destination: MalaccaDate: 27th, Dec 2009 Continue from here..  1# So, our journey continues after visiting the red house.  2# We were heading to the eye on malaysia in Malacca, I was so excited when i saw the sea on the way..  3# In case you fogot, it's kyean on the left and rachel on the right..  4# We didn't get up, because all of thought it's not not worth, there are not much thing surrounded the area, so we pass  5# I suggested! But no wants to fly with me =(  6# The first thing she did after she step out of the car.  7# and I demanded Dwayne to take this for me.. heh..  8# It was very windy in the place, and the sky looks like its gonna rain, anyway we're enjoying the sea breeze after a long walk under the sun in the noon.  9# Hmm.. nice?  10# pictures taken by Dwayne  11# Btw, we decided and we planned a trip to perhentian this year!  12# I forgot what is the name for the restaaurant, but this place is gorgeous, sadly they only have it in Malacca. I promise I will visit again, but i have to get the address from Dwayne first =p  13# Rachel and Kyean, looking at Dwayne's photography  14# Kyean looks like the queen in the coming alice in the wonderland! Google bout it and you will know what i mean.  15# The very lucky me, at first when dwayne told me that he wants to bring to makan crepe, I really have no idea what it is, I thought it's some nyonya kuih or something similiar to that, but it turns out to be a surprise for me! It is D to the E to the L-I-C-I-O-U-S!  16# I've forgotten the name, but it is something u can't get anywhere.  17# So, here is the crepe I'm talking bout, original crepe, green tea crepe and white chocolate cheese cake.. OMG.. It's like a drug, I'm craving for that everytime I see this picture.  18# Dwayne is googling the next destination, and kyean went "What la, tour guide also need GPS one?"  19# and Dwayne says, "Don't forget who's driving"  20# I pity Dwayne, look at the jam.. it's terrible during the dinner hour..  21# This is when we got stuck in the car for too long  23# Like seriously, we walked a lot that day, but we can't complaine anything, because that is the only thing we can do without feeling bad eating too much food.  24# After a 10 mins walk or more, we settled in a restaurant.  25# This is Rachel, and she's buying us food for this round.  26# This is me trying to show off my bangles  27# Oyster egg, was kinda disappointed the oyster king in the garden's food court is wat better! T__T  28# fried soft shells crab, it was my first time eating this, so I couldn't compare, but the taste was alright, not too oily.. =)  29# Oyster noodle, the one in taiwan shilin is better, kyean was complaining bout the size of oyster, it's super small..  30# Our last stop, we get there around 7 and look at the cue..  31# This is before us knowing the cue will fucking take one hour..  32# We have Dwayne Foong as our tour guide.. If he ever thought off quiting as a photographer, tour guide can be his consideration @@?  33# Anyway, we didnt get to dine in the restaurant, because we're rushing and it was already 8 and the cue is still bloody long.  34# We went to the Malacca night zoo after that, sorry ii have no picture.. FYI, we're not allowed to use flash in the zoo, so yea unless u wanna see black background with black shadow in the pics =p P.S. Sorry that I didn't remember any of the name for the restaurant, but if u really want to look for a nice place to eat in malacca, u can always look up for the ones with the long long cues, and yea I suppose the restaurant is good that's why the cue is long.. or may be cheap? Use the psychological way, but dun blame me if the food is just alright.. =p

VVIP..heh  2# This is me and koh kyean with our half way done makeup, what to do we were rushing there before the fireworks started  3# “The object of a new year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul” ~G.K, Chesterton~  4# Kyean says: Anyhow, I have a good feeling that this year is going to be a good year for me already! This year is also a special year for me because I get to celebrate my mom's bday at a pub for the first time. (we danced together too wtf)  5# We bitches lot in the past few days  6# meet Adam and Clement.. Clement is also my childhood friend. We knew eachother since we're 11 or 12? That still consider childhood, right? no?  7# On new year eve is also Kyean's mother birthday, did I tell you my mum and kyean's mum is also bestie?  8# Something special.. I'm sorry I couldnt find any clearer picture. But, look see how special is this relationship =D It's already 2010! Wuhuu~ Though I'm not really used to the 2010 display on my phone's screen.. Kyean had been staying with me for the past few days, yea.. Basically we spent all the eves celebration together. It's something we haven't done for a long long long long time. For your information, I met koh kyean when she is still so young and cute*wtf, haha. at the age of 8 or earlier. So, let's talk about new year. Resolutions?.. hmm.. nothing big, ok may be just one. I'm eyeing the scholarship for my degree programme, so I suppose I needa work harder.. and the rest is still the same as every year, something that I'm still archiving. So I think that's all for today? Happy new year everyone.. =D p.s. sungai congkak post will be up next..
