No time to blog or lost the passion

It's been ages since I blog..As long as I remembered since I landed myself in Rand Asia. Well, perhaps due to whatever reasons maybe, I should start blogging again...

Where am I now? Perhaps at the cornerstone of everything.. Next year I wonder what is ahead of me? Pretty much a changeover this past two months eversince I had some change of plan.

Hmmm...about this week...yea, anxious...really anxious about me getting the role in the McD ad...hope I can get my chance to be on screen...though I kinda felt that the chances could be slim. It is only Monday ler. But keep some hope open yea...

Hmm... i actually re-enlist the things I wanna next year...well, life must be flexible...hehe...

Time and tide waits for no men... So there are some fickle decisions that I had made this years. Perhaps lotsa it. What next year hold should be better..Yea...bolder now at doing what I want...

Now next year I aimed at achieving RM 100,000.00 of cash taking into account with the little that I have in the bank. :P

So how does this will be put into good use ?

As the fairy tales goes like this : -

Personal Spending
RM 1,500.00 x 12 = 18,000.00
Holiday - Bali = 2,000.00

TOTAL = 20,000.00

Personal Liabilities
dp for car = 30,000.00



GRAND TOTAL =
RM 50,000!!

so another 50? hmmm.... that one if only the sky drop lah..ahahah

Umber Update

Just after talking to Mr. Broke just now. Seems like my phone is going haywire again. Hope to be able to fix it. Won’t want to spend much money on hp these day.

The direct digital printing machine
For the past two months my life has been very intense with the direct digital printing machine. It has in a way inflict a high degree of misery upon my life..Some mental torture and little amount of emotional disturbance… past and partial of it as it evolve around my life a lot. Until today we were able to meet up with a Taiwanese supplier in this area as well. Thought I will be flying to Tokyo and hv some drift… but luck again could bring me to Bangkok next. Whatever it is I will keep my finger cross. I really hope we could come to certain conclusion of this machine as we have come thus far. At least the support at this moment is really up-to-par as the team of men are really dedicated here. I hope to see some smooth sailing ahead…. At least this will keep us going the extra mile. I really hope the Taiwanese can offer some great deal for us at this point of time and real fast. I hope to be able to generate substantial income as well…. Keep my finger cross again but yet to cast a little hope upon it.

Photography
This is one money sucking hobby currently. Yet to be hope to generate some income out of it as now perhaps it had cover my two pieces of CF card.. ahaha…at least something ler. The lastest a must have is the battery grip offer by a Korean company. Perhaps I would get that one to the collection and call it a day for this year.

Well, I must say I was rather satisfied with my first model shoot last week at the MNG autumn / winter launch. Thanks to Wisky who had make it all possible for us.

Next, perhaps gonna explore more other area of photography. When is Mr. Broke gonna join the camp ler?

My Lumix… hmm… well, thank God I din sell it away. Beside it role as my backup…I think a more vital role it play now is a “rental” without charges for people around me. So far it has prove to be able to earn some decent tea bag ler. I still amaze at what the camera can do after seeing what my old man was capable of showing me his close up shot! U know that FZ-30 big price is 2499.00 just body and built-in standard kits plus zoom lens. What I have throw in is much more fearsome than u can imagine. So just consider the other stuff I throw in as bonus ler. How about it? Or perhaps an expert from SS2 might shed u some light.

What to do before the year runs out?
1. Make some bucks…
2. Go Cameron Highlands and hv hell of the time shooting photos & enjoying my holiday
3. Justin concert on Christmas eve…
4. Leong Eng wedding

My contemporary issue : marriage life

Recently had heard some buddies pouring their “unsung hero” story of their marriage. Hmm.. it seems so karmatic ler. Well, as far as I can understand my buddies all are nice ppl ler. Perhaps u they are too nice ler…and the theory of Guy Roberton has once again prove it point as I had mention earlier on in my blog…let me recap that for u should u miss it..

Guy Robertson : I’m telling u Tan..Women are all evil
Me : ( amaze ) * Is it ?
After some exchange of thought …
Me : What can we do to change or prevent this ?

Guy Robertson : There is nothing you can do about Tan..
Me : hmmm… wow…
Guy Robertson : Except there is two things : First you gotta respect that evil …Second you hv to control the evil..

How true is it? I do not know… Not in a marriage life and any particularly involve in such kind of mediocrity.. So hope u ppl out there could shed some light and identify urself.
Talking about this…I would like to talk about recent two couples I know that at least worthy of mentioning here.

Case study 1 : Kenneth and Eva
Kenneth was not exactly the kind of natural selection with me. It was Raymond who bridge the gap. I still remember the night where I was on my late night routine of calling up ppl for constipation awakening. That guy was sure furious. With his simplicity of mind he fire away sms at me and it was rather sensitive.. Yes, my day has come… the retaliation time…since not much ppl was accustom to such a game… so I blow him as well.. but it ended to fast as he can’t take it ler… hmmm…

So the couple tie the knot this year. Sometime there are couple that are truly meant for each other till death do us part.Well, both of them fit the bill. There is such a natural understanding and love for each other and it is really pleasing to the eyes. I really hope they will live happily ever after. Yea, equal respect and communication between both of them. U can always see their selflessness in complementing each other and in the questions they ask..

Case study 2 : Chae and Yee Ching
Both of them are my high school classmate. Never thought they would tie the knot together. Chae and Yee Ching share much simplicity together. I was in their house last week and having simple dinner. It was fun actually and playing with his kid sure bring much joy and laughter to the house. Hmm… I did ask Yee Ching about her sis…She had a sis which had this big boob. Years ago I can recall there is one night after the mamak she ask can teach her guitar or not? Well, fucking asshole turn down the offer…what are u thinking of man? Am, C, G will do the trick isn’t it? Wonder how is she now…ekekeke

Others story
Nothing much to share recently.. Usual movie and reading… Yumcha..blah blah…

DSLR collection done...


Ok... I surrendered...I had never nosebleed even half of the price in my life for gadget. Sony Alpha, 50mm f1.7, 75mm-300mm f4.5-5.6, 18-70mm kit lens...56AM TTL flash...

All enuff to put a bombshell in my wallet....!!

SIGH...

Long overdue date

The night is still young, this is my virgin trip to Bahau…I mean I was here yesterday, sleeping at my colleague house. He must be real homesick for a young chap like him. Yesterday, we popped into a karaoke. I tell you the setting gila habis. The tiles floor and floor…nostalgic.. Pvc leather sofa, yea, u even can feel the damn wood piece on the sofa worn out PVC cushion. There are about 6 sofa sets in that place alone. Suprisingly I dun even know even one of the malay song. What more surprising that the air-cond is even more underpowered than my office. Yea…karaoke with aircond cum mega stand fan all over the corner.. At least I reckon 6 fans overall… There came a jug of mix-up holy juice. Best benar holy juice tu…as usual I foot the bill this time with a whopping RM45.00….its a miracle if I can finish half a cup.. I tried very hard though... The poor Kelvin was almost in full tears when he finish the last drop. The scenario was so significant when once upon I had a drink with someone ages ago near Pandan Perdana..the poor soul also welling up in tears…as he finished the last kopek…Cant recall much..I think it was two jug that time…ahahaha…

The ladies here are all malay…almost all are western food or elderly oversize chick.. Except for two chicks which is petite. One name ILa from Kuantan approached us and have some chick.. Farking realistic Kelvin tak berapa layan coz he said he is the customer.. he choose who to layan as he paid. Well, if u have the cash dude..u won’t be ended up here my fren. So another one came by and kinda cute TYPE R. She offered me for singing and later to dance on the so called “dance floor” …Boy, am I not flattered? *Coughing @#$$##$

Who would resist such an offer? Just too bad my balls were badly swollen due to some last minute concarsion of the brain….It is a good experience to look at how this karaoke pub operate. Wa cakap lu…mengancam…nak mampus…

Bahau properties skyrocketed like nobody business. Kelvin’s dad gv me a shocking figure. So shocking that it is tonnes highly overprice.

Melacca? So far the training run smoothly..of course with some hiccups which I need to solve in the shortest time possible. Time is the essence of everything. I begin to miss my bed a little.

This time we managed to try other place for satay celup..and tonite dinner was done with at the Portuguese square. I really wish I can get my flash this week ler. Perhaps off to Tawau and hopefully to catch some nice scenery next week as well…

Ciao…
