Can't wait to meet my future students. Wish me luck!

Sayang Juliana my junior. She bought me a durian fruit today. The day before yesterday she had them and the smell went up to my floor, made me go look for the source only to see habis already.
Made a sad face. Then today suddenly got one for me. I is so happy.

There's this cute SLR not SLR not really point to shoot kahmera that caught me eyes.

So kawaii desu ne?

Can I use this for my blog pictures and write raving reviews about the kahmera Tim?

Puhlease. Pretty please. My kahmera skillz getting rusty already. I promise I take nice nice photos.

A girl can only dream no?

So I was browsing through the photos I took using the loaned Sony Alpha A300 (kena pulang balik lepas kena kicked out da) and came across these set of photos of kahmeras. Last December I joined a bunch of really nice fotographers for a walk around town. These photos were taken during a mamak session in between the walking.

This baby right here is an SLR camera. It uses Film. Yes kids. Back then before Digital Fotography people actually go into red lighted rooms to process the photos. My brother Didie owned an Olympus 1000 sumthing sumthing and one time someone screwed with the settings and our raya pictures that day looked Lomorific.

Abe Muid here is holding a Digital SLR. Canon 5D. It uses a magical computer memory chip device to store the images taken instead of a film (wow I'm a freaking genius) and this way you would not contribute to polluting the environment. Apparently there's some waste disposal of the chemicals used in developing films issues that are not that talked about. Betul ke ni Naim?

And this is a Hasselblad. Freaking expensive dunno why but something about capturing photos for billboards. Means when you blow up the pictures its not so grainish? I malas nak Wiki. Carilah sendiri di University of Google. Usually these babies are used in the magazine industries? Because I swear I saw one in an episode of America's Next Top Model.

So back to PEN. What is PEN? PEN's not an SLR nor a digicam. PEN is a breed of it's own. Macam geng prosumers jek? God knows.

The beautiful thing about digital photography in my humble opinion is the fun you get with Photo Manipulation!! You can tweak here and there and voila! Art! Yeah. Sure.

I shall leave this post with a seriuz kitteh pic. But kitteh not as serius as this one.

"I iz thinking maybe this girl needs to get ticklez in all the wrong placez yosh."

Of Writing and Teaching

2009-06-14T01:58:00.006+08:00

Writers write.

To not write is to die.

I think I'm slowly killing myself when I stopped writing.

I used to dream of becoming a writer. This is what made me take up English as a major. Because I love languages and I want to learn more. That and the scholarship meaning I don't have to pay a cent for tertiary education.

But silly me. Majoring in English and Majoring in Teaching English are two different things.

For starters, teaching means you have to learn more than just basic grammar. You have to learn methods of teaching, the psychology behind it and so forth.

Future brains of Malaysia. Lend me your strength Neil.

This quick post is to caution those looking into furthering their education in teaching to pause, stop and think for a while, am I teaching material? Do I have what it takes to be responsible for the future of the students I'm teaching.

But the thing is, I've read a number of writers and poets who started off as teachers first.

Stephen King once said, "Write what you know, what is closest to you." Or was it someone else? Not bothering to Google this. If I'm wrong my bad.

I have doubts at times whether or not I'm teacher material enough to be a teacher.

But what does it take to be a teacher anyway? Is there a universal idea of what a teacher suppose to be like? Should it not be that you learn your way through life by trials and errors. To err is human is it not?

So I'm going to go through this. One step at a time. With hope, in time and numerous headaches later I'll get it right.

Change have to start somewhere my brother Acat said. And Cikgu Mat Nor said, "It has to come from within."

I have to be serious. Lives depending on me being serious.

Seriously speaking I think I think too much at times. Sometimes I rather read fictions and dream away my time than getting to the business at hand.

For instance right now I have to write a 250 words piece for a group assignment but I'm typing these words instead.

Priorities my dear, so prioritize already.

Okay will get on to that writing piece now. Wish me luck!

Dude, that thing with the Symbian.Smashpop.Net thingy right? Suppose to start in 3 hours time according to @smashpop twitter status updates. I will try to update you through this blog entry.

I went through the blog posts about this Search for N thing and the UK one says something about solving clues and literally go out and search for this N. Dunno how Ah Pop gonna play it here but for sure I think it should be somewhere in KL. 3 hours time means he's waiting to clock out from work kut.

*This is Jason Smashpop Goh. You might have to hunt for him for clues?

Anyhow in any case it might even be an online treasure hunt thing so I'll keep you updated okay. Make sure you have @smashpop twitter account open at all time and his Symbian.Smashpop.net webbie too.

Get Ana involved in this. And her kawan karib. Need them for transportation in case you guys have to go to town and search for N.

And just in case open a tab on his Smashpop.net website too.

Good luck and may you get to get that N97 since your N95 kena bedal dek budak counter KFC hampeh tu.

*Please don't keel me Jason. I think you look super cute in this pic. Betul. Tak tipu.

Curse of a Ketchup Hog

2009-05-24T13:32:00.003+08:00

Yes. First step to recovery is to admit the addiction.

I was blog hopping and I found this hilarious entry and I told myself wah makan dalam seh.

But then again screw it. When big fast food joints stop giving away sachet ketchup in cute sterile packaging for dining in customers and replace this with the free for all squirt machine I say let there be ketchup or chili hogging yo.

Besides when you hog the condiments you get to lepak at the joint longer using the excuse I don't wanna waste all this nice chili.

I prefer eating tomato sauce with my fries though. They don't serve mayonnaise with the fries if not it's a different story already. I love eating western food at you local food gerais where they serve the chicken chop or fish sticks with fries and then got mayo and the look of annoyance on the servers faces when you ask for more mayo - priceless.

But the picture you see above is not me alone eating. If I alone finish that much ketchup sure sakit perut go toilet come out the next day punya.

Something to think about on this nice Sunday afternoon, when one goes out to eat in a fast food joint should one clear one's table after eating? Isn't that part of the job descriptions for fast food joint workers? Or is it a culture thing? We go eat out expecting to be served, thus the service charges no?

Love, kisses and hugs for everyone for the birthday wishes.

And I love my family for calling me at the stroke of midnight and singing the birthday song. And to Acat for calling too. Birthday book KIV dulu ya?

And do you know you can get tax rebates or something when you buy books? Books make good birthday prezzies yo.

And Happy Birthday to my nephew Nabil. His birthday falls a day after mine. Same date as my once nemesis Ms Magazine. Happy Birthday to you too Cik Fatimah. We should bury the hatchet already right? It's been almost 3 years anyway.

May 18. 25. Nope don't feel old at all.

Dress Me Like a PopStar

2009-05-08T23:36:00.004+08:00

I have crap dressing sense. If ever I looked nice that shirt belongs to my sister Ana and I borrowed the shirt without telling her. She's so nice though, she'd be pissed for a minute and then she'd be pissed for a minute more.

I think I know what's cute or not. Or which top goes with which pants. Just that never really did care about dressing up.

This dress can be found at your friendly neighborhood pasar malam by the way.

I love Malaysian schools because we have to wear uniforms. Uniforms are good. It means no need to look for matching skirts or shirts or what ever you nots. Wonder if they changed the uniform system and kids come to school all dressed up. Add more kerja to the teachers trying to make sure kids come to school decent.

The thing is I want to care about my appearance I do.

But then there's so many other things one can procure with one's limited money no?

There's books galore, DVDs, and the occasional CDs.

I love watching Project Runway though. I love the process of creating beautiful clothes from gorgeous materials. Human hair even.

Maybe I'll start caring when I turn 25. Or make that 27. No wait make that 30.

Because honestly so long as its cotton and can serap peluh enough already.

But I do love funky shirts with bright colors and cartoon characters on them. My favorite shirt at the moment is my Sponge Bob yellow kaler shirt because the eyes falls nicely to my boobs. It's funny.

So anyway there's no point in this post. Feel like writing this down so that somewhere in the future I can read back this entry with my stiletto heels and my designer dresses and go, "Aww I'm such a kid back then huh?"

Yeah. Right.

Wait I'm On YouTube!!

2009-05-06T23:56:00.003+08:00

My niece Jada is so adorable! Kawaii chan. Okay I don't really speak Japanese. I was reading to her a Hamtaro and Friends book and it was written in Kanji Hiragana Katakana apa betul ke bahasa aku ni.

She's growing up so fast.

I remember cleaning up her poop. Okay one time. Back when she was still a small wee kiddie. I'm not such a fan of poop. Keji sungguh tak tolong tukar pampers dia.

Have you ever watched Baby Geniuses? How before a kid turned two years old they hold the secret to the universe. I believe that in a sense. Notice how sometimes if you look at a baby or a less than 2 year old toddler they'd look at you back with that look of "I know what you have done, I know your secrets, you're lucky my language is incomprehensible to mere mortals."

Kids at this age, they pick up languages very well. They're like a sponge or something. This is based on Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development I think. And careful observation of nieces and nephews growing up right in front of my eyes.

And no I don't speak like that in real life. Dunno how come when we're with babies it's like automatic we'd try to emulate their way of spurting gibberish no?

Ke memang suara aku macam tu kawan-kawan?

Spank Me Mr Spock

2009-05-01T16:24:00.007+08:00

Familiar? Wait those eyes. I know it from somewhere.

But seriously as if you don't know Zachary Quinto aka Sylar is playing Spock in the remake of Star Trek.

Photos borrowed from his official website.

Actually any excuse to put his pictures in my blog.

I have a thing for Sylar.

I want him to be a hero. Save the world with his crazy superpowers. But I bet the producers already have something sinister in mind for the character. So now have to wait for episode 25 to come out. Internet is not just for porn. Internet is also for catching up with American Television.

And Sylar is maqnifique no? In I Am Sylar the character had some mother issues to deal with. And dealt with he did. No spoilers. We wait for StarWorld to show the show.

More of him here.

7th May 2009 the movie will come out on Malaysian cinema. So can't wait for that one. Wonder what that Lost JJ Abrams fella gonna do to the franchise. Wait he directed Cloverfield? Hmmm. Gokusan I expect a decent movie review from you soon enough.

P/s Oh episode 25 dah keluar. Tolong jangan spoil kan the episode. Turrent tak siap lagi.

Ola!

My been a long time since I write anything decent on this here blog. I'm sorry I've abandon you for the Twitter promise land baby. 140 characters for self expression is too tempting for lazy me. It's like burst blogging but with a quicker self gratification. Tweet tweet. Self expressed.

I was going through my old picture folders when I found this kitty cat. The picture a bit blur, shaky hands et al, so decided not to do any cropping. Me thinks the combination of the gray gloomy background compliments the kitty's demeanor. Could have sworn the cat looked into my soul and saw all my flaws. Thanks be to god people can't cat speak. Imagine our pets able to tell us straight to the face, "I only love you for the food you give me."

Honest direct straight to the point. And then sure kucing tu kena tendang keluar rumah.

My practical is over. I still have some courses to deal with but with hope gonna get posted soon enough. I asked for Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur and hopefully KL will take me back into her open arms and say come here child, come home.

But friends are waiting all over Sabah. I know Shobes would be super excited if I get posted there. Haha. We shall wait and see my friends. Speaking of Sabah have a look at these gorgeous photos my friend Dzull took of his Sports Day. The background is simply breathtaking, heck could even be made into a series of Visit Sabah postcards I tell you.

Picture stolen from here

And dear blog, they might show that fotography show on the telly. So here's me hiding somewhere where you can't find me. If you can find me then you're a genius but seriously how famous can one get from a reality tv show anyway?

Buat-buat tak kenal kalau jumpa tepi jalan okay?
