Coming soon... Melaka Trip post...

Coming soon... My Melaka trip post... Hopefully can come out part1 by this week la...

super busy...

Its been quite some time since I made a blog post. This past few weeks have been a really busy week for me especially last week and this week. Last week I had to rush to submit my first thesis draft to my supervisor and this week has been up few nights just to rush the Internet Computing project. My FYP thesis did till very badly as I do not have much result to be discussed as my algorithm is not out yet. Hopefully by this week the whole thing would be ready and at least I have some bad results to be shown. If by this week still I cant manage to do it then its really dooms time for me le. Kinda scared and worried ne. Will God help me in this difficult task? We will see bout it.

I really really dislike last minute work. Is not that I do not want to do the work, I just need someone to start developing the code with me. I'm really really a bad self learner. If I do things alone, my work will never get completed. I'm more of a team player. I need the others to cover up for my many weaknesses. I can say that my internet computing project team really lack of cooperation, commitment, planning and also communication. The group leader really must do a better job in dividing the task or else the group members will feel unsatisfied and start to rebel. Is not that I don't want to do the work but at least distribute some work to other group members to do ma. All also we have to handle, then how will it be called group work? I don't mind them come asking me how the code or the thing function. They at least have to take the initiative to come and ask me la. I already don't mind them waking me up last minute to come and ask me. What more can you ask for? I need my rest as my body could not take the stress. That is why I cant do last minute work. I planned ahead to avoid all this trouble.

Here's just 1 picture of my last weekend getaway at Melaka. I'm still busy with my thesis, competition, project, presentation and assignments. Hopefully I can write a blog post for my Melaka trip real soon.

I know she love this picture very much but she did complain she look fat in this picture. Its not my fault. XP

Charity

How often do you see me doing charity? If you know me well I guess you will already know that I hardly have enough money for myself so I seldom do charity such as donating money. But somehow I got a call from above to attend a charity drive event which is organised by the Ace Youth. The event name is actually called Ace Youth /TGF : Guinness World Record Breaking Charity Event. The theme of this event is Bolly for Charity.

The country / places that was taking part in ihis event at the same time to break this World Meaningful Charity Record include:

1. Malaysia 
2. New Zealand
3. Captown
4. Edinburgh ( a prison ) 
5. Katmandu
6. London
7. Manipal India

BollyforCharity is actually a Guinness World Record Breaking attempt for the largest multi-site Bollywood dance event. They collected a fee of RM10 from each participant of the event in hope to contribute towards their RM10,000 target. I did not know in the end they manage to hit their target or not. Here are some of the photos of the event.

At the beginning of the event where the crowd was little.

Simple opening ceremony

Sorry that I did not have much pictures of the event as I left early due to the small crowd. Was not able get myself into the event. If only the crowd was larger it should be quite an interesting event. Oh well at least I played my part in doing charity. Thats all from me. Ciaoz.

skills are important

Lately I've noticed that the skills I've learned in my life is not really adequate. Actually most of the skills I've learnt in theory but after days goes by without brushing them up, 50% of it has been gone. The engineering skills which I learnt in my uni is the main example. What I've learnt during my semester 1 50% of it I've forgotten it as I seldom use it. Now I'm struggling trying to recall what have I learnt. BUT due to busy schedules where can I find time to brush up all the skills I learnt leh?

So now if I really want to venture into the photography industry I guess I have to keep brushing up my photography skills from time to time and also to keep my passion alive and burning. What I've learnt from my sifu Wesley Wong 70% I still can remember but the other 30% kinda just get stuck in my brain and unable to retrieve it back so easily. Like today during the photoshoot session, I wanted to apply what I've learnt for the pass few years but was unable to do it easily. First had some problems with the equipments, then cant really get the effect that I wanted. In the end I just gave up trying as I had to be fair to other participants who pay and joined the event.

I can say that the 1st paid photoshoot event organised by Simple Photography Guide is quite a success but with a few major improvements needed. The main one is to scout the area way before hand. Do not do scouting on the day of the event even if its a few hours before the photoshoot. You might never know what will pop up suddenly like model will arrive late and etc. So here are just some photos of the photoshoot event.
