More work coming soon! Exam time = distracted art time!

Ok, so randomness and insanity aside. <_<

I just finished my first exam paper today (Chemistry practical) which was partly tough because something completely unaccounted for came up. But it was doable as a whole, considering my lack of practical skills when I get all panicked. Another 11 papers to go!

After exams, you'll definitely be seeing more of my work. I haven't been able to snap photos this time around due to the despairing absence of my camera (Dad borrowed it!) but I'm pretty sure once I get it back, I'll be so free that I'd just HAVE to do some artwork just to stop me from killing myself out of boredom. Lol. Aisyah loves all of you!

But while you debate half empty or half full
It slowly rises
Your love is gonna drown

Hey guys,

I've got this fever coming up which I do NOT like.
I'll be leaving for college on the 14th of January which is next Monday. After that, God knows when I'll be back for updates. My A2 Levels are at the end of this semester, so it's going to be a rocky ride up the cliff of exams+homework+stress+fatigue. Well you never know, I might want to do more photography to cut out all the stress, so maybe it's a good thing. I'm going to miss DeviantArt v. v. much, especially my dear watchers here who've religiously posted comments and faves on my page!

Sayonara, friends!

I'll follow you into the dark

No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles brusied by a lady in black
And I held my toungue as she told me
"Son fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back

If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
Cause we'll hold each other soon
The blackest of rooms

If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark

-I don't plan to go pro with photography,because

1)It's hellishly time-consuming to spare some time to find inspiration and snap photos and edit them to maximum beauty, and

2)I prefer to believe that I don't have sufficient financial means to support the hobby. A quality DSLR alone with a tripod would cost at least 3k, added to special lenses for macro/distance/movement photography would cost an additional 2k at the least. I don't have that kind of money by myself. (and thank you Dad,I'm fine supporting myself this way)

-I do NOT have a fancy camera. Go ahead and google "Rollei dp8300" and the best comparison you'd ever get would be a Canon Ixus 950 IS. 8 Megapixels is cool, but if you have a camera that takes shaky pictures in broad daylight with maximum aperture/shutter speed/ISO number, then obviously you'd be dreaming of a Canon anyday.

-My pictures are NOT weird!!! And so is my love for pictures. NOT weird. Got that?


I'm currently so in love with Porcupine Tree. Guys, please, if you do go to their official website at [link], do vote for them to come to Malaysia. I would be forever grateful for the chance to see them live. You have NO IDEA how good they sound in live appearance, as opposed to many other bands/singers.

Cest la vie!

But its enough for you to find out TONS about this country. It's made me realise how far better off the Malaysian government is compared to theirs.

-There aren't proper drainage systems in some places, so rainwater splashes all around the place
-Villages act as highly potential tourist hotspots, but because of lack of development, the beauty of these places go to waste, leaving sad people like my family and I to seek them out for ourselves
-Smoking isn't restricted ANYWHERE. Cigarette adverts are posted around the towns like wildfire. I've only been there 3 days, and I now know at least 6 different brands. Ladies and gents, young or old, smoke like its second nature. No, make that first nature.

No offence to Indonesians! I strongly feel this country is bursting with resources, waiting to be exploited healthily by the people, and yet not enough effort is made to do so.

Nuansa Maninjau. The only other time I visited a mountain overlooking a lake this beautiful was at Dunedin, Otago New Zealand. God's beauty is incomparable, no?

in fact, i missed snapping photos so much, i took a random one of my perfume against the rainy sky. and it turned out.....not bad.inspiration comes at the weirdest moments, when you least expect (or want) it.

hehe.

*cough*

Thanks to a few dingbats who got me thinking that I DO have the likes and the assets, just that I don't properly appreciate the use of them,I've finally gotten to picking up the goddamn Rollei and shooting a few things.

So yeah. I do love comments,but I'd prefer you don't give me comments that I don't already know,i.e. my pictures suck,I have zero photography skills, I should throw up this hobby, etc. and spare me the guilt of having such a fantastic camera.
Just tell me,is this too bright? Should I use better lighting to that one? Is the high aperture irrelevant? Stuff like that. Stuff that I can LEARN from and improve.

Til next post!
