My Bizzare Brainwork Says

Chinese New Year holiday all packed into 1

Hmm.. Short one on chinese new year 2010 although its already mid march now -__________-

I was very sick on the first day of CNY. I think my body engine overheat due to the mad weather. Worse part of the whole ordeal is i had to miss the morning session of meeting the family and driving around Penang looking for clinic…!!

I still manage to get abit of extra income although I’m sick. Prettiest ang pow packet I’ve seen/received so far in my life. From DivaLisa.

Meeting up friends from high school has been a tradition for me and my group of friends since 2001 ? My goodness, it has been nearly 10 years i’m around these bunch of brats 0__0

Without needing to really inviting or arranging, people will just turn up at the fixed venue yearly.. And since its an all day event, people come and go…and come back again for more if they are in a winning streak

This year was especially fun as everyone was anticipating the first married friend to come over! hahaha.. Can’t wait to get our hands on the ang pow!

and this year was full of surprises as well. ALOT of long lost friends suddenly just turn up and had a really long, good and hearty conversation all night long. It is very rare to have such huge group of people who still comes together once a year without fail.

Although we are all approaching mid twenties, seems like we have not lost our youthfulness at all

I love chinese new year as its time where everyone will be back in Penang and making catching up on the year that past so much easier…

Fore seeing next year would be an even rowdier one as more friends will be back/graduating from oversea…

Diana 35mm Roll #1

Finally decided to post up the photos from my first 35mm roll of my Qing Hua baby. I call it the disaster roll. Most people first roll of Diana would be a disaster roll which we learn from the mistakes we made. I’m considered lucky cos my first roll was okay

Contrary to common belief, using 35mm films would be easier. It might so much easier to buy and develop but i face difficulty when advancing the film cos the indicators seems wrong or i just don’t know how to read it. Plus because its 36frames, there will be more films gathered at the spool, higher chance of getting stuck halfway too.

okay,time to criticize my films..

From my 36 frame roll of film, only 24 managed to be processed and more than half failed :(

#1 This is an example how a nice photo can be destroyed by a lab staff where they usually dont handle films anymore t.t  The below is incorrectly cut and then scanned. Hence the image is not cropped correctly to be center.

The frame that I used for this roll was  square over the sprockets but i failed to informed the shop and i guessed they just cut it all away  Although I can digitally crop it and make it nicer myself but then i’ll be missing the entire point of lo-fi photography.

The common noobie mistake when one uses a fully manual camera is forgetting to adjust the:-

1. Aperture

2. Focus

3. Taking into consideration the film ISO

#2 That’s why some of my photos are too up close, like the entire frame is filled with the focus object. Most of the focus for this roll was set at 4meter, meant to shoot something from afar -__-

#3 Mentioned above, when advancing to next frame, I do not know when to stop turning!! and therefore, overlapping frames…Mistake below are, not focus properly and overlapping.

#4 Double expose film. I think this is nice

#5 Double expose negative too. Wrong aperture setting.

Having said all the above, making all the “mistake” is how i learn to understand my Qinghua better ^_^ and the experience of handling a fully manual camera is fun! Never knowing the end product until you excitedly hand the roll of negative over the counter to get develop

Now i’m in the midst of going through my 2nd roll 120mm expired film. Will share when I have them develop.  Not sure what else was missed out but i think will be well covered in next post. hehe

Would you like to know how to insert the film? or how the 35mm back look like? Let me know..

Gurus out there are more than welcome to leave a comment!!

Charm

Latest addition to my Thomas Sabo charm bracelet.

On top of that, welcoming a new “member”  to the craze is CousinTing, and by looking at her first charm, the blind would know what age she’s at WHICH I’M NOT. FTS!

Looking back at ourselves.

Every now and then, I will read Jason Mraz blog (Surprise! I don’t read it everyday! ) Reason being, it’s too heavy/wordy for office browsing and I would have very much prefered to read it when I’m recollecting my thoughts at night.

It had never stop to amaze me how inspiring, and amount of love he projects each and every time he writes. I don’t know, but he’s simply an incredible guy who does what he preach. Do you even know a “celebrity” or just someone in the entertainment industry walked for 4 days with 2 fella to see the fallen Macchu Picchu?

Okay, most probably you would think I’ve a bias vision of Mraz -__-  Another good blog to read is quaintly.net She’s young, cute and writes pretty darn post.

From Jason Mraz – The Boys Gone

Be so happy with the way you are
Just be happy that you made it this far
Go on be happy now.
Please be happy now.
But when it’s all over is it heaven or is it hell
So I better be happy now that no one can tell, nobody knows
I’m gonna be happy with the way that I am

Wrapping 2009 in a box..

Ps: don’t know why the sentences with links are not showing up in colors or bold..i had linked related words to the post.. -_____-

So 2009 is about to end in a few days TODAY! and it’s a whole new year again. How could time passes so fast?!

Before that, Merry Christmas and A Happy blessed new year to you… I had my Christmas eve’s dinner at a pasar Malam with Desmond-T and Speng followed by Gossip Girls at home. How did you spend yours?

**Okay, I really don’t have the time to blog these day but lady luck smiled on apple4today for bringing down my office system, so basically I have nothing much to do now! Wohoo! **

A quick check on last year new year resolutions, I’m happy to say I kinda manage to achieve it all! hahahaha..

My first quarter of the year, I traveled to Adventourous Krabi and that already tick off the first new year resolutions! ha!

It would be nice to go back in the future minus all the kayaking. Probably more lazing around the town area and more speed boat rides!!

Come march, I met my curbside prophet once again I was so so happy that I manage to attend the concert despite the pathetic venue and horrible air ventilation.

Set off on a road trip to Genting and  Bukit Tinggi for the first time and realize it’s REALLY nothing there wan.. It was a memorable trip as nothing was prepared except booking a room in genting at the very last minute. I love spontaneous trips!

Speeding the post up from here…. -__-

This year alone, I welcome my  white angel, diana qing hua and also the expensive but super powerful  Lx3 into my every growing camera family And with that I vow not to get anymore digital camera for at least 3 years unless some really bad misfortune befall unto my lx3. Also put a stop temporarily to my analogue cameras.. This will be resolution #1.

In June, I blogged about how i shed all the weights I gained in UK due to popular demand wtf.. Am proud and happy to say I’ve not gain back all the weight *yet* although i’ve received remarks from friends that I’m too skinny for my own good. The phrase “skinny”, “thin”, “bony” nor “slim” was never associated with me before so I don’t really mind being called any of it … HAHAHAHHAAH ..

Attended the most wedding dinner in a year for my entire life!! I guess I’m already at the stage/age where people around me are settling down.

First it’s Chrnsz…

Then my best friend’s wedding, Autumn dear... which was a blast!! We had so much fun. I guess anyone will when their close friend throw such a grand party.. 

Followed by my ex-team leader in previous company..

And the latest and craziest of the bunch was from just 2 weeks ago. Haven’t got the photos yet but no doubt the one where everyone had most fun. Important contributing factor was all the groomsmen and bridesmaids was sooo sporting. Not to mention the bride…

In the midst all that, I manage to switch job, got myself relocated back in KL after almost 2 years.

Stayed in Bangkok for 2 whole weeks in a studio suite all to myself which was totally awesome!!

Came back from Bangkok, started my new life/job in KL. Unknowing to many, went Jakarta for 5 days to have some great food. Visited some semi-dead volcano..

Celebrated my birthday just the way I’ve imagines.

Whiz pass it all, here I am, the last day of 2009. Just a few more hours until I get to go off work and laze at home. Hmm, according to the above, I guess I did had a very good year.

I hope that next year would be even better since I will be a quarter of a century old by then wtf.

Surely I’ve missed out jotting down something.. but what the heck, it will be a entirely new year, a clean sheet to start off in merely a few hours.

Till I blog again next year… HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!

The boxes of my memories in yesteryear’s..
