its all LAN's fault.

Everything is because of LAN.

First of all, I admit that I’m the kind of guy who cares family very much. I might sounds very disobedience in family, but I always love my parents and my siblings.

Story starts like this, during the LAN class in the morning, there was a statement in history that Portuguese had taken Melaka for 130 years, which is around 2 generation. (A generation is 75 years).

So, I started to have something in my mind. I’m already 25 this year; I still left 50 years on earth. Then, I start realizing that not everyone will accompany me for the next 50 years, especially my beloved parents.(studies shows that average of human life is around 72 years.)

Both of them are around 55 this year. Theoretically they have another 25 to 30 years time with me on earth. I can’t imagine what I will feel at that moment when they leave me. 30 years sound long but it actually runs very fast.

During the class, I start calculating, if I manage to complete my study in 2 year, I have to work for government for another 5 years, and then prepare to have my own family. At least 15 years of time I need to prepare myself for the next phase of my life. How much time I left for my mum and my dad? If accidentally they suffer from amnesia, how much more happy moment can we recollect?

I start to leave my family since 2005 for my studies. I have not stay in my home for more than 2 months for the past 4 years. This year even less...

When I was young, I always wished to go out from home, staying alone outside. I still remember the night before I left my home, my mum come to my bedside and talked to me in a very soft voice, “What u wish all the while has came true, right? Remember, when you start leaving home, this house will only become a hotel for you. You might not have chance to stay longer here.”

Mother F***er, I almost cried out during that time but I hold… I want to say,” At this moment, I wish to stay here,i don't want to go anywhere.”

After five years, how I wish I could go back home spending time with my family. When I see my friends going back home every weekend, how I wish I could do the same thing. It is not fun to stay away from family.

When I have time for my family, they might don’t have it for me.

Every time when I look at my mum, the wrinkles become more and deeper. Especially in the past 5 years.

I always pray so that God always protect my parents, provide them healthy life, so that we can spend more time together.

Just want to conclude here by telling that,” mum, dad! I love you! I will study hard and never let you down.”


patience

for all the mother

kwee ren's birthday

24th march, is kwee ren's birthday, we all went out to celebrate in wazen (a Japanese restaurant), then end up in ""wings"
so, here is few photos, taken during the cake cutting...

after knowing and being so close with kwee ren for the past three years, this is the first time i celebrate his birthday. thanks mun yew for the persuasion, when i rejected to join initially. haha.....

so, during the celebration, i try few shots on portrait with Abby's lumix. i found out i have addicted to the tilt which i used for any photos. after all, the effect is quite acceptable.
(Vincent isn't a good portrait photographer!)


so, this is kwee ren. the birthday boy. 24 years old but act like 18 years old! haha...

trip to Explanade, Luak Bay

It has been ages since the last time I update my blog. Few reasons

1. I don’t have camera with me over here in Malacca. Not even a compact camera.

2.I don’t have my own transport to go around Malacca.

3.Most important reason is, I don’t have the feel, the mood, and the urge.

I always have a lot of ideas to shoot the scene around Malacca whenever I went around the historical city. Only ideas, no action. At the same time, I am also looking forward to own myself a Nikon D90 or future Nikon DSLR. Too bad, I still don’t have any savings in bank.

Luckily, the urge and interest in photography does not disappear with times.


Two weeks ago, I went back to Miri for a short break. Every time, when i come back, i will go to Luak Bay at least once, because there is a beach here called Expalande and also along the road, there are a lot of big houses.

of coz i would waste the chance to snap some photos when i got here.

even though these photos doesn't look that great as compare to the professional photographer, i'm still very satisfied with my product. Addition, i found that the photos look nicer when u tilt a bit. it looks more attractive, not so boring.

it gives a different feeling when u tilt a bit on the angle right?


i went to the beach around two in the afternoon. that is the reason why the beach looks so empty. normally it is packed during the weekend with people walking along the beach, fly a kite, etc.

Sunset at Esplanade also make this beach a perfect place to date during the evening. long beach with wide angle of view. Miri is one of the few places in Malaysia where u can find the sun really sink through the horizon.

As a Mirian, i am proud with the beaches here. Too bad, after Miri has turned into a city in year 2005, the development in Miri seems to be in a pause condition. When i was in miri during my holiday, i found that Miri is again turnning into a village gradually, with a messy and untidy landscape along the road.
i'm wondering how Miri can continue to be known as a Tourism City if they still continue with the current condition.
