Hody in Kek Lok Si Penang

The day before 23-Jan-2011, I were having sore throat and flu, totally don't feel wanna step out of my room.

Barry - the organizer, called me late at night, and persuade me to attend this portraits photo session as many people can't make it at last minutes. Honestly, this persuasions can't really rebuild my zeal for this photo session just simply because I have to work in the next morning, and my body had give me a lot of 'signal' to rest (start to flu). Who knows, Barry was kind enough to come out an arrangement, and I make it at last....

My photoshoot buddies: Patrick , OngTc, Barry & DC

as usual, a 'warm-up' shot in Kek Lok Si's car park. :-)

#2

I like Flash photography. Guess what, to counter the very bright sunlight at the back, I have to set my Nikon SB900 Flash-gun to +3, to come out the directional light from the left.

Personally I like the bokeh of Nikkor 85mm f1.8, that's why I set to f2.0 for this shot. :-)

Photo-walk : Georgetown Penang

Photo-walk with few buddies: Pey Jin, Barry, OngTc, Patrick, Luke & Mun Seong in Georgetown on 31-October-2010. Previous post was share in Mandarin, and I purposely write this in English to make a balance :-)

It just a very light-n-easy photo walk, and snap whatever we think is beautiful, meaningful to ourself. After this activity, feel like I'm more close to this so call "Pearl Island"; and I just proud that I'm part of this beautiful island of Malaysia.

#1

it just a building + the sky.

#2

one of the old & famous mosque in Penang - Masjid Kapitan Keling.

#3

to take this 'Old + New' road name plate, i actually climb up to the TNB box, and stand at the border of the box to take this shot. :-)

#4

in this 'old town', you still can see many advertisement in paper form was paste on wall or lamp post.

#5

the wall and the window are just here for more than half of the century...

#6

I use this shot as my PC's wallpaper.

#7

the letter box just located at outside of the building.

#8

one of the wooden door from one of the pre-war house...i just like it so much!!

a very old style 3-story flat in Georgetown Penang.

离不开面子书(Facebook)的生日2011~

踏入人生另一个生日，不止意味着自己老了一岁，也是时候让自己想想在这个人生新接点自己到底要想什么以及会做什么...在这过程里才深深地体会到“一年之计在于春”，这名言并不是像用口说出来般的简单。

自从面子书面世后，每个人在生日时都可以像明星般忙碌，因为朋友们都会在自己的面子书留言、祝贺。因此，我生日作最多的事就是回复个个好友的祝贺~别小看这是一件很简单的事，其实很‘神圣’、用时。

怎么说都好，面子书 (Facebook)离不开现今社会各阶层人士，就连生日、结婚这种大日子，都必须要用它成为媒介。不知还有谁在这种人生的大日子里，完全都不碰面子书吗？

今年唯一一份生日礼物，好喜欢　:-)

喉疼又来找我了...

一个月前的噩梦还未完全离开我的脑海，从昨天开始，那可怕的喉疼又回来找我了...星期二开始，上班的时段感到很不适，头颅开始变得沉重，视线也会不时的变得模糊；最明显的是，背椎酸痛不已！想起来，好像很久没有好好的睡一觉了，导致身体的警告钟再次响起！

这时候，让我想起来一家诊所医生的劝告：

“...要真正的好起来，单靠药物是不可能的事。你必须让身体获得真正的休息，才能让体内的抵抗力强壮起来，就可以将那些病痛驱走了...”

就因为这个劝告，即使忍着喉疼得煎熬，我也只是开始大量地将白开水灌入肚子里边；每晚八点钟就上床睡觉，以及不吃湿热的食物。可是，病情时好时坏，导致影响了工作。星期四晚上，以为打了几场羽球，流了一身汗可以好一些。谁知道这‘以为’差点让我晕倒在羽球场...

终于肯看医生了，医生说我发高烧了....直接给了药，也给了我一天的病假！这一天的病假，就好像在干枯的沙漠里头看见了一瓶甘露，大脑终于可以暂时不必为明天而烦，宁静了下来.....

一到办公室，就看见这张捐款的收据。有十几秒钟是摸不着头，忘了什么时候做了善事...直到同事的提醒，才记起来了。看看数额，有点过意不去，怎么那时候会捐那么少？！？！

同事 - Beng Hin 却又以一句话点醒了我：

“...即使捐壹分钱而已，已足以表达我们的心意了，何必在意数额的大或小呢？”

好有意思的一个早晨！ :-)
