more smoking abstract.

yesterday's abstract was really abstract i guess.
like no meaning.
and was just plain smoke with colours.


well,
i read up more about it.
changed my lighting.
and shot more than 200 images of smokes.
so...
expect lots of smokes coming up soon.



oh yeah,
i will be in singapore tomorrow till the 11th.




























i've spent more time in photoshop now,
trying to mirror them,
invert the colours.
matching different smokes together.































let me tell you.
this is addictive !
































oh yeah,
i just got something that burns that produces smoke with nice smell,
don't know what's is it called.
but i think people usually use that for aroma therapy or something.
bought that long long long ago when i was i bali with my family back in 2005.





























man i'm loving this thing.
why ?






























because i can see a man ( his head a bit too light - more editing soon - ) with his hands held up with wings !



can u see ?

smoking abstract.

now i need to learn how to stack images.



























it hasn't been one hell of a wonderful day.



























see,
i told mum to buy the tic to spore on the 7th.
then skali i need to be there as soon as possible.
i went down and asked mum if she'd bought the ticket.


she did.
just this afternoon before confirming with me.
while i was distracted with something else.
thus,
i just said...
.yes.



but deep inside,
i wanted to tell her to wait.
but then again,
she'll come say that the prices are gonna rise as the day pass by.
and bla bla bla.
i wanted to be safe.
i just said yes.































and when i told her that i need to be there by the 31st.
it changed my day right away.
damn.
i feel terrible.




























so i'm gonna waste one air ticket.
i think it's the second time this happens.
but the first wasn't really my fault and i can't remember why.
but this time...






























it makes me feel damn bad.
terrible.
sad.
































so anyway,
i'll be there on the 31st if i can grab a ticket by tomorrow.
and will be back on the 10th.


























another 10 days in singapore.




























guess it'd be singapore-exploring-to-take-pictures-time again.
please mum,
i just wanted to be safe.
i didn't mean to waste that money.



































i'm sorry.

some random stuff.

man..
feeling damn bored.
don't know to do.
suppose to have photoshop cs3 by now.
but knn,
that shtupid ass-ho shopkeeper come lie to me.
say inside the cd got cs3.
it even have cs3 written all over.
skali it's just adobe creative suite 3.
which i don't know is use for what one.



























damn.
i'm so never going to that shop anyway,
f, has had a bad experience there.
and me too.
it's at level 4 at sun plaza.

but just now i went the level 3 one.

bored bored bored.



























oh yeah,

i need to go out and shoot soon.

lower peirce resevoir.

on the 13th May,
it rained in the afternoon.
and i was damn bored.
once the rain stopped.
i decided to go to the resevoir.
since they say u can like see the sun setting from there la.

but no luck.



the cloud was too thick.
cannot see the sun :(





so i decided to try on something different.

slanted landscape images.




























more





























somemore




























1 more slant one




























here's a straight one



























was out till damn late last night.
went ktv with the guys.
2 of my friends were celebrating their birthdays.
one on the 25th and one on the 29th.
they decided to join the party this year.
and so,

i really enjoyed myself last night :)

but last night too,
i've witness one of the most disgusting thing i've ever seen.










something like this,


















they were drinking,
one of them got realy...........
till he literally collapsed on the sofa while singing.
then there he was.
merlion-ing.
=x
green______came rushing out of his mouth.
!.GROSS.!












.ps.
.i love you f.

lenses.

a lil camho-ing =P













there's nothing much to shoot lately,
and still don't have the time to really go try the macro lens.
may be next week.

been busy choosing pics.
legendary photographer ansel adams said,
"the negative is comparable to the composer's score and the print to its performance"
while digital image may hold great potential,
the true performance can only be realized in a beautifully executed print.
so yeah,
i'm choosing 50 pics that i feel like,
my best so far.

hope will be done tomorrow.

oh yeah,
i've also enrolled into citra photography course.
some local photography thingy.
hope it starts next week !

also,
busy gaming -lol- and pirated dvds watching =P




lenses.










was bored,
nothing to shoot.
i shoot what i use to shoot.
lenses.













the kit lens.
















the first lens i purchase.

















the lens that's usually fixed to my camera.
















taking over the one above soon.
















=)


















i will be back to singapore in 2 weeks time.
7th june to 10th june.

siantar.

went to siantar yesterday with asun.
he has something to let some old-rich-suprisingly-english-educated-really-old-80-something-man
sign something.
so since i'm in town,
he asked me to go down to accompany him.
siantar is about 2 hours ( speed all the way ) drive from medan.

it is also where the huge kuan im temple is located.
guan yin or kuan im ah ?

i bagged my camera,
and left with him.
he drove like....
speeding over 120km/hr most of the time cutting cars dangerously,
definitely gave my heart some exercising.

after all his businesses are done,
we stop over the temple.



























where's the guan yin ?



























she's huge !



























we reached that temple at 2.
the sky was so clear we could see the moon !



























having clear skies mean = super hotness.



























but nvm.
it also means,
nice bg for the guan yin :D



























.i love these kind of skies.



























oh yea,
why is it when u journey far.
when u go that time ah...
it'd seems damn long



























but when u returning home,
it'd seems faster....





i'm loving the calibrated monitor !!!

sentosa sunset.

.please ignore the fuglyness of the person inside.













i really didn't mind the rain that day,
anyway,
i guess i'm kinda lucky because it rained.


they close the beach up.
it rained heavily when i was at the beach station of the monorail.
so if it's closed up,
i guess there aren't really anything to shoot there.
+ i think because i rained,
i got these shots :)


























more of the beauty.

























somemore :)

























and a bit more from the songs of the sea.


























did i say they have fireworks too ?

























.i love medan.
