Project Monochrome

So I brought back two rolls of black and white film to Kota Bahru this Chinese New Year. Approximately 32 shots.

This is how I interpret the world around me. And the rest Ileave to the shutter. Snap snap snap.

More kids

I love shooting stranger's children. That is, when their parents are not looking. They are so darn cute and will willingly give you a pose or two, which really adds meaning to the project. I would walk around the neighbourhood and snap away at these cute faces, while they would call me úncle'and ask for red packets. Bloody adorable.

Adults? Not that cute anyway.

Wished I could post more, but each picture scanned turn out into 15mb jpeg files. Dayum. No time, still need to go out gamble.

I hope you liked the pics as much as I loved taking them.

O RLY?!

Yeah I wont date me

Valentines Day has been a festivity that never fails to elude me every year. I dont know if its mere coincidence or pure bad luck that I never seem to be together with someone every Feb the 14th. I'm thinking neither, my conclusion is that Cupid don't aim arrows on overly-hot guys.



But when it comes down to it, I wouldn't know how to impress a girl on Valentines anyway. I'm not a choc and roses guy. I would play you a song and fail miserably with all the broken chords and keys. I would bring you out to some movie date and realise that I only have enough money to buy tickets for myself. And most probably end the date by bringing you McD's at around 1-3 for a really cheap lunch. Yeah, I won't date me. Hahaha.

And if you did try, you would know. Well, that is, if you ever did.

O RLY?!

Full of Bull

Traineeship ends tomorrow, but I will just post this because will be back at friggin Kelantan for CNY. Its tradition homie.



To sum it up, I'm really glad i took the initiative to go for this job. Heck, a bum like me had never taken initiatives all my life, cept the times I volunteered to ask for class breaks (if that was ever considered one) I guess thats an improvement.



I really learnt tons. Everyone was cool, cept for some really stressed-out architects and designers who cannot seem to meet their bosses' critierias. I can see how not easy of a path this is. Deadlines here are not like the ones in college. There's no "eh eh Puan Yati, 5 more mins pls i finishing liao" shit.



And the reply wont be a "Ok I'll give you time, send your work to me by the end of the day okay?" Instead it will sound more like this, " Please be prepared to tender for your resignation letter by tomorrow, you are being dismissed of your services."



Hah college makes me laugh when i think of it. El loco cisco.

But it never helps to be a pussy and whine on what you've chosen. I've taken this up and I will finish it. And not just for the sake of finishing it, because that will be noobish.



Speaking of college, I recognised the importance of being able to value your education. Valuing education??? I dont sound me for a second there.


But really, especially after my first year in college, was when I found out how much better my secondary school years were in terms of quality education compared to college. And college is paid for.


No shit. Dissapointed with the quality of education taylors even dared to put out. Maybe because they are aware of their already-prominent recognition among Msian students so they are confident that students will still enroll for their courses, whether the FNBE is happy or not.Maybe they think they've got thousands of preU students so they wont mind losing 60 foundies anyway.

Anyway signing off to an Angpau-collecting, poker-winning, alcohol-guzzling, fireworks-filled Chinese New Year. Oh and plenty of taking pictures too.

PS: Minus the alcohol guzzling, in the holy islamic state of Kelantan, you are only allowed to sip, guzzling not allowed. HARAM.

Have a good one my darlings

Plugged in Baby

Went for Singapore Big Night out last week. Obviously went there for Muse. And boy, they did not dissapoint. The crowd got high before the band even made their entrance, already hyped up by the opening acts, which although were sublime, would later pale in comparison by Muse's arrival. And so they took the stage. Chris, Dominic and Matthew. The crowd went bananas.

The boys started their assault on the crowd with Uprising, the first single from their latest album, and threw the crowd into a fist-pumping, anthem-singing crue. Bellamy himself seemed almost dictator-like, manipulating the highs and lows of every key unison with the crowd. The next song, Supermassive Black Hole further sent the crowd into a new stage of euphoric frenzy. The catchy riffs literally burst the stadium into flames when unleashed by the enigmatic Bellamy. Belammy utilised the scratch pad customly made into his guitar to full effect, displaying multiple crazy, almost unearthly sounds which possibly never had been imagined existed nor heard.

Chris Wolstenholme, the band's bassist contributed to the backing vocals, as well as showing off some trademark bass techniques such as the usage of synth and distortion on his bass guitar, a Muse special. He was unevitably eclipsed by the stage presence of Bellamy, though he shared some of the best moments when he broke into the popular bass riffs in songs such as Hysteria and Time is Running Out. Dominic, the band's drummer was the backbone of the band. His steady beats and composure behind the drum set was hidden under his enthusiastic yet quirky playing style which proved vital song after song for Muse.

Muse played plenty of songs from their newest album, The Resistance, while treated to the crowd some of their old classics which shot them into the international stage. And when all the head banging was thought to have ended, the band delivered a three-song encore which pushed the crowd beyond their already-climatic state. The whole experience once again raised the bar for the band cited as the 'best live rock act' ever, and this level of performance certainly proves so.

That's how my review will be IF I went... No, i didnt go la. Just wanted to write some cock. HAHAHH

Pop Tarts

Best stuff the Americans invented since the atomic bomb they used on the Japs. Stinks that its hard to find in Msia. Brilliant in every other way.

Childhood ends when a child begins to recognize the meaning of 'childhood' itself.
