Bismillah

Assalamualaikum.

2 weeks ago I've been busy with all the 'tasks' given by.. uitm, unimap, utm and.. the most irritating IPDA which I had done it for the sake of a friend. Luckily, the others had given the payment. Alhamdulillah. Baru la boleh bernyawa siket. Baru nak boleh isi minyak kereta. Baru nak boleh bayar bil telefon. And baru nak boleh sattle hutang kawan2 esok pagi.

Today, after a busy working hours which I've been called to do it.. just now I can take my shower after a long day. Takpalah kuli sat, orang susah. Tonight, I got to complete all those abandoned assignments. 

And next week, I am going to make this 'thing' real. Serious matter and I am not going to wait for it anymore. Biarlah bersusah dahulu. Biar jadi kuli dahulu. Bismillah.

I think I should phone my parents first. :3

Manners and Knowledge

Assalamualaikum.

Today I learned lots of new things from Mr. Azhar. A man who had tons of  knowledge in analogue photography. He had been to many places and he was graduated from Mesir. And now working in Alor Star. 

I'm having a good evening chat with him. Hoping to see him again in the next lepak-ing activity. Aktiviti yang sihat dan boleh meng-update otak anda. Haha

Dalam menuntut ilmu, janganlah berlagak, rendahkan ego anda. Jangan ingat anda dah hebat, dunia ini luas. Think again.

Brilliant Movie: Inspired

I love this movie. I watched it 2 years ago. And still one of my favourite movies. You'll learn something remarkable after you watch The Flying Scotsman. This movie tells about dream, love, hope, passion. He had a very supportive wife which her wife always help him. He never quit. That's the very interesting part about him.

Assalamualaikum.

Today I'm going to tell you why I love traditional film photography or widely known as analogue photography. People often ask me, "Why films?". I just simply answered because I love it. 

I was 12 years old when I first saw a slr camera(not digital slr/DSLR) in my uncle's room. My uncle is a single status man and he enjoyed photography when he was studying in university. At that time, he owned 3 cameras and one of my favourite is Olympus OM10 because of it's chrome solid body and the OM system. Now he passed it to me. 

I don't have that much money to buy a digital single lens reflect when I was 15 but still I am one of the SMK Jitra photography club. I just use a compact digital camera and I did bring it when there are a meeting in the afternoon. Most of them owned a Digital SLR. It's a very interesting technology. And sort of stylish when you're hanging it on you're neck. But I can't afford things like that. 

One day, a competition was held. It's a photo contest! The terms are simple, sent your best 5 picture in a week. And the photography theme of the contest is Nature. So, I was thinking if I could give a try. But I don't have a Digital SLR? That's not going to stop me. So, I used my father's compact digital camera. It took a lot of effort to get a great shot from a compact digital camera. I do lots of  Google-ing and do my study on ISO, shutter speed, aperture(kamera ayah mana ada pon. haha), and etc. A week passed and I won the third prize. A certificate was given and my name was listed for the photography workshop which will be held in IPDA(haha). Later I had a chance to represent my school for a SONY photography competition which will be held at KL. But I spoiled the chance because I'm going to enter MRSM. But it was a good decision after all. I learned lots of new things when I was in boarding school.

When I was 16, my brother brought back a toy camera manufactured by a company called Lomography. The  all-plastic camera is very super-light. And it is a film camera. Interesting. It reminds me of my Uncle's camera. When I went back to Tampin, Melaka with my family, we usually visit him and I asked him about the cameras and he said he had stopped taking photos because he's getting old and tak larat and bla bla bla. So he gave his dusty Olympus OM10. I was very happy because it was my first camera and I take good care of it. Always. 

Until now, I enjoy traditional film photography or people called it analogue photography. 

Sebenarnya saya tak nak habis duit kat hobi saja, nak jugak simpan duit untuk kahwin. Haha.

Assalamualaikum.

I was thinking lately about cool things to do during my final week of my holiday. Ugh! I hate the feelin' when holiday starting to fade way. Sure lots of thing to do. Packing, stuffing, decorating, sweeping and finally I'm pretty sure it will be ended by sleeping! Haha. So, back to the topic. Cool things? Example? Yes, it is called Levitation. It is a well done project by a Japanese girl. Sure she looks very pretty. And the camera too. Haa! The colours, the composition and everything in the pictures captured by her are really cool! But, EM does not have shutter speed control. So, it will be hard. But I think he can make it. Guess so. 

Find out what is Levitation. Click here.

Please be hurry OM10.

Working On Something Big

Assalamualaikum

How are you peeps?(yang duk baca blog aku ni budak kelas aku ja pon. haih)

Today we're gonna talk about 'something big'. Have you ever heard this song? "You Live Only Once - The Strokes". So, do what you want to do and do remember, don't wait! because there will be no another day for you. 

PASSION

Passion is everything. Last year, I planned to travel from Kedah to Johor on my bicycle. But it failed. Everything was ruined due to time and etc. So, this year I will work harder! Haha. I had planned many things to do in this year. Not just for me, but for the people around me including my coursemate, TESL. I hope I will be given a chance to do it. InsyaAllah. 

Full of passion - Albert Einstein
