Many a times, the adjective ‘beautiful’ has been reserved for only man and woman …. and also non living things like cars, houses, etc. Very rare would you hear anyone complementing on a plant let alone a tree. Many moons back, i was back in Penang for the weekend. As i was clearing up my room, i noticed that the mango tree that my parents once planted has finally started flowering. I have no shame but to admit that it was my first time seeing a flower of a mango tree. And in a few weeks time, the fruits would be visible but that didn’t really happen. That’s because moments after i shot this picture, i heard the motor of a chainsaw rumbling and the next thing i knew, the tree wasn’t insight of my camera -_-” The tree was marked X as it was in the way of the road that the local authorities were planning to expand. “Beauty seen is never lost” Have a great weekend everyone

Love is in the air
It has been a month since Sae Wei’s and FireWire’s (yes that’s his real name LOL) wedding and finally i have time to write about it. I was told to hold on before writing but the fact that my entries are all backlogged, it didn’t really matter William and i drove from Cyberjaya towards PJ to fetch Angeline and Evelyn before heading over to Wangsa Maju where we met up with Aaron and Daniel We were there quite early, so early that we had breakfast at a nearby coffee shop ala Old Kopitiam. After forty odd minutes, we were told that Firewire was on his way to pick Sae Wei. So we gathered at Sae Wei’s place and waited
Photohunters – Wrinkled
The four days i was on Redang island, my skin on my hands and my feet were temporarily wrinkled. Being in the water for a long time definitely gets anyone’s hands to be wrinkled. But it was a good trade off except when it came to walking around on a crescent-looking-man-made island when both my feet were badly bruised because dead corals were scattered all over the island -_-” I don’t really have a picture of me having wrinkled hands or feet but i think you get the drill On a side note, i have totally forgotten about the burst shots that were taken on Redang island and it’s finally done. Credits to David for stitching them up, lol The file is size is huge so it might take a while to get this running, please be patient Have a great weekend everyone
Phailed
A few days a go i joined my fellow comrades in the ‘PHAILED’ regime, simply because my site was down. William was the first to say, “Satkuru, you iz phailed” -_-” In fact i have renewed it more than a week before the expiring date but a miscommuncation with the webhosting company cause it to be down for 96 hours in some places. So to those you were so nice to actually drop me messages asking where in the world is my blog when you only see a weird looking page, i thank you for your concern I have so much to blog about but everything seems to be backlogged because i don’t have enough time to write >_<” For the time being, let me share with you a few of the ‘phailed’ moments that were captured in the past few months Hung Wei failed in focusing I failed in setting my camera in the right settings that it made this picture look like there was an enormous explosion -_-” LOL i wonder if you all noticed what’s wrong with this picture P/S: Go watch WALL-E ! It was better than i expected, seriously. Two thumbs up. Evaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !
Photohunters – Colourful
Not too long ago, i was at the MIFC or better known as the Malaysian International Fireworks Competition and this is the 2nd year running that this competition is being held. Last year’s winner, Australia was outstanding and i am wondering if any country could do better or even emulate what the Australians have done. This was the first time that i am capturing fireworks and i had no idea what i was looking for. I wasn’t sure of the settings nor was i sure of the location that i was at. All i did was snap snap snap snap. Since this competition carries on till the end of the month, i thought it was would be a good exposure for me to try out a few times before the big finale which will be held on the 29th of August. The fireworks display was definitely eye poppingly colourful and i really can’t wait for the next one Have a great colourful weekend everyone P/S: Have you all watched how Michael Phelps swam into the history books by being the most gold medal winner in Olympics ? And the way he swimmms, no wonder some say he is half man,

Why only half of your arm has hair ?
Jess was asking whether i would like her to iron or rather straighten the hair on my arm which led to me writing this entry. Jess i shall spare you this time, since it’s your Bday. If not no mercy! I am glad to say that i am blessed with so many nieces that whenever one is big enough to talk, they will ask questions where you might just end up stabbing your eyes with a fork. But then again, i have gone thru this drill so many times that i got used to it until a few weeks back. I was at my Aunt’s place and ran came my niece who is still in kindergarten asking me riddles that she came up with. Then out of the blue, she held my hand and asked: SHE: Why only half of your arm has hair and the upper half doesn’t? ME: ………… -_-” Cousin: That’s because the lower half is Indian arm and the upper half is Chinese arm *smirkes* ME: @_@! …………….. SHE: OOOoooooo …. ME: Hehehehe yes yes *i just agreed to keep things short and probably to end the conversation* SHE: So do you shampoo your lower arm

MMU Convocation 2008
So last weekend was MMU’s convocation and i was there to help photograph for William. I reached the Grand Hall close to 12.30pm which was when the graduates will be allowed to leave. The place wasn’t as pack as previous years where part of the buildings surrounding the Grand Hall wasn’t fully completed. I met so many people, those who have graduated years back and those who are still in MMU.
Photohunters – Dark
Many moons back, i attended a party whereby the dress code was dark colours. It was Daphne’s and Anna’s brithday and they were the only one who was excepted from dark colours. But somehow or rather, a few people decided to turn up in bright colours and they should had been penalized for doing so Probably the next birthday outing should be themed 70s, lol. Speaking of DARK, has anyone here NOT watch Dark Knight ??? I simply loved how Heath Ledger portrayed as the Joker. Loved it so much that i had to watch it twice Have a great weekend everyone P/S: This post was published at 8.08pm on 08/08/08, hehehee. Oh yeah and the Olympics opening ceremony is about to start
Park Responsibly
I was walking with my mum and sis towards our car in Queensbay mall just to find out some dodobird did an illegal parking behind our car. In fact one of the guards was already waiting there, anticipating some comotion. I tried reversing but there wasn’t enough room to get out of my parking bay. If that wasn’t frustrating enough, another dodobird parked right beside our car which was meant for trolleys and that made my getaway even harder. So at that very moment my car was only able to reverse straight back, without being able to turn. By then i have already caused a massive jam on floor six and seven. Within minutes more guards and parking personels appeared. They themselves were furious at how ignorant some people could be. They tried paging the owners via PA system but as you and i know, NO ONE LISTENS to those announcements. After five minutes, they decided to move one of the car ….. manually. The car behind was a Proton Wira and the car beside was a Daihatsu Charade. As they were moving away their bikes, a few people who got stuck in the jam actually walked up to see

Photohunters – Clouds
I was quite tempted to post the clouds that i shot when i was in Redang but then it would be a repetition so i settled for this shot which was taken when i was at Kek Lok Si a few months back I was accompanied by Elvie and Wendy while climbing up Kek Lok Si When it was close to noon, less and less clouds were seen I am finally back in Penang and it’s so cloudy over here compared to KL Have a great weekend everyone
