Law Asia Moot Competition

2008-08-13T20:52:00.006+08:00

Taylor's Main Campus called up TPC in request for photographers to cover the Law Asia Moot Competition; a National Round competition which will see the winner proceed to an International Level. And for the making of history I am the Official Photographer for the event :D

Law Asia Moot Competition at National Round

Gathering of honorable and renowned judges

The surrounding environment was very tensed over the menacing glares of the judges

Canon, delighting you always

The true nature of a Moot Competition; boring

Ushers of the event

Getting bombarded by a renowned judge; cool

The Moot Competition lasted two days and on the final evening the proceedings continued at TCPJ for dinner.

Awaiting them were food and trophies

Our friendly video cameraman for the past two days

Orientation Night

2008-08-13T20:17:00.007+08:00

Once again I was summoned to cover the orientation night event. Well I wasn't too hyped up to cover it but whatever goes I suppose. . . The theme was free and easy; finally a comfortable theme to follow.

Catering

Before the big event

Some people literally just stood and wait

As it got late, things started to spice up

The organizing committee

Random groups camwhoring

Birthday surprise for some girl

After dinner the crowd gathered for performances, acts and games

Boy does he look happy

A participating couple

Things started to get more interesting as the participating groups started to get smaller.

Then it was a face off from two sides

And the crowd goes wild

A request by Mr. Ian Ng; InasReka Principal to photograph the interior of a church he had designed.

Thumbs up to the interior designing of the church; comfortable and spacious~

Comedy At Work

2008-07-19T19:57:00.011+08:00

Note: My weblog has been inactive lately due to negligence and I am very well aware of that, however there may possibly be more future disregarding

Welcome to aaza; my home for the past two months. This is the place where I have been working gaining valuable working experience, new friends, priceless information, endless support and the occasional free food. Here we practice professionalism; adhering to the discipline of work life, self-order to meet deadlines, uphold respect to our fellow colleagues and endorse high quality work.

This witty disguise only last until the boss leaves the office, which means. . .

NOW!!

It is only then does our inner hooligan unleashes itself upon the unsuspecting office domain and wrecking havoc at every corner.

Working area; With in-depth knowledge of my camera's timer, I managed to kill one person from the picture at the very last moment

Meeting room; We failed to undress him before the timer went off

Work area; Not what you think

Boss's room; Getting our hands on everything in possession of the boss

Goodwill Ambassador

Goodwill Ambassador. . .

. . . Speaks Of Truth, Honor and World Peace

Heart Wrenching

2008-06-17T12:00:00.004+08:00

Im in the office now with absolutely no task whatsoever. The boss left the building which means I can freely use the internet at will. Finishing up my book on child counselling (don't ask me why I chose this book, I picked it at random at home and I have a hunch my parents used this to raise me up). Read an article in The Star newspaper today front page, 'Beaten while looking for help'. This is one of the most sickening news of how society has fallen for the worst. My cousin had an accident a week ago on the road and fell unconscious after the crash only to wake to find his wallet, PDA and other valuables lost after the collision. People taking advantage of the misfortunate are almost anywhere. Seeking help in this age has never been so dangerous.

Thanks

2008-06-15T09:48:00.004+08:00

Probably one of the weirdest card I've retrieved all my life. I would like to convey my gratitude to the two designers that could produce interesting greeting cards if they decided to market their ability. Thank you very much

PS: Not mentioning others whom have greeted me or gave me presents does not mean I do not appreciate your gifts/ wishes as well. Thank you very much
PSS: The pigs bounce

Family Vacation

2008-06-08T10:55:00.005+08:00

Recently, we had a family vacation trip to Kuantan. I applied for an absence leave from work and went of for a three day vacation. In order to reach our designated retreat, we had to go through a jungle looking path. Very very 'ulu'. . .

Secluded jungle spot

By a private beach

Sri Cahaya Bungalow (looked more like a long house to me)

Without any means of communication to the outside world, we had to occupy ourselves with the games provided such as a chess/ chinese chess board game, poker cards, darts, ping pong, carom and UNO stacko blocks. Some of us brought along outside entertainment as well such as mahjong, PSPs, guitars, cameras and fishing rods.

Ping pong pros

The beach was a perfect spot to harvest oysters and snails. We had fried/ raw oysters and snails for some of our meals.

Patience is the key to food

The beach was magnificent but it was not advisable to swim due to the underwater current

So most of the guys just hanged around on the beach and fished

From the sandy beaches of Kuantan

Speed Racer

Life is like a race to the finish line. Some people try their whole life trying to get there, while some just watch in envy while others finish the race. Some prided themselves with a clean victory of glory and honor, while others uses whatever means possible to attain that glory. However. . . not all races are meant to have a finish line

Having Second Thoughts

2008-05-24T15:22:00.009+08:00

Something I wrote in my very first tag post kept me thinking.

Question
If you meet someone that you love, would you confess to him/her?
Answer
Probably not

A naive answer. . . Why not?

Happy Mother's Day

2008-05-12T04:04:00.007+08:00

It was Mother's Day four hours ago. Unfortunately I was just able to catch a glance of my mother for the whole day. While my family were having 'bak kut teh' dinner together, I was stuck with three overripe smelling guys (Just a harmless joke guys :D)

So. . .

Happy Mother's Day!

Studio 2 Lecturers

2008-05-06T20:11:00.004+08:00

Caught!
Legends speak of an impossible task. Two knights challenged the myth by obtaining the unobtainable.

Artifacts obtained from the quest of the two brave knights:

Eye of the Serpant

Smile of the Goblin

Kiss of the Orge

I foresee a failing grade or just mere passing mark for my Design Studio 2.

Site Visit Gone Wrong

2008-04-20T11:16:00.005+08:00

Had a site visit to the Petronas Gallery, KLCC. 'Unfortunately' it was closed at the moment. Most of us were 'utterly dissapointed'. Nonetheless we made good use of our time.

Organizing a bunch of unorganized children

Sleepless Nights In SABD

2008-04-20T10:31:00.006+08:00

. . . and not to mention a 3D Max submission in a few days time.

My Portrait Lense

2008-04-15T22:22:00.003+08:00

Tragedy strikes . . . my portrait lens broke after hitting hard on the ground. Horror movies was never meant to be good for the heart. Due to the recent mishap, I will no longer be able to take pictures such as these for the meantime.

And most importantly, I will miss the chance to bring along the lens to TPC's event trip to Ipoh.

In memory of f1.8

A cherished companion

Luckily they failed!

Shanti's Day Out

Farewell party dedicated to Nishanti.

Just Because Im A Sport

2008-03-18T20:32:00.007+08:00

Note: This is where im suppose to include the rules of the game. Unfortunately, I dont really do tags so I avoid giving them out to people as well. The only reason im doing this is because four of my friends tagged me and im doing this out of courtesy. :D

1. If you were to be stranded on a deserted island, who are the 3 blog buddies you'd take and why?

Because they choose me so im just returning the favor:

Benny - Apparently he wants me to take pictures of him when he is stranded on a deserted island

Yao Loong - Apparently because he thinks I am 1/3 smarter than Einstein

Yun Ru - Apparently because she wants to annoy me until I go to hell

2. Where is the place you want to go to the most?

Foreign countries namely France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Berlin. . . etc

3. If you can have 1 dream to come true, what would it be?

World peace, seriously. Imagine walking on the street and giving out a friendly smile at random people only to receive an obviously **** *** facial expression, going to foreign countries just to receive a hostile welcoming just because they are bias towards your race, or even getting killed just because you didn't know you offended someone.

4. Do you believe you can survive without money?

No. Reasonably speaking if you don't have money you can't buy food, shelter or clothing. If you someone tries to argue that we can go live as a wildman/women than id want to see him wrestle a lion or wear a loincloth during winter

5. If you win $1 million, what would you do?

Save half the amount for future expenses and savings while investing for the other half.

PS: I could also opt to upgrade my camera and get god-like camera accessories.

6. If you meet someone that you love, would you confess to him/her?

Probably not.

7. List out 3 good points of the person who tagged you.

She:

has an excellent command of both english and grammar; always indirectly forces me to use the dictionary everytime I chat with her
has great focus and awareness; can recall issues raised in meetings which I never remember
stresses on dental hygiene; spends hours on her teeth alone

He:

accompanies friends to lunch; mamak hour after Services 2 or Studio 2
has strong religious beliefs; always helping those with problems by hearing them out
has dashing good looks (im not gay)

She:

has that cheerful smile on everytime I see her; like she got hit by Joker's laughing gas
is a great motivator; always talk about how [subject] is so stressful
is a good friend; doesn't forget you although she is in a foreign land

He:

is a good friend; doesn't forget you although he is in a different place
is a great company; has tonnes to talk about although im already out dry
is a great motivator; always ask questions forcing me to find the answers

8. What are the requirements that you wish from your other half?

Calm, collected, poise, graceful and smart

9. Which type of person do you hate the most?

Extreme drivers on the road and arrogant people

10. If you are given the chance to go back to the past and make a difference, will you?

To undo the naughty things ive said and done. Good boy image requires perfection. If people really listened to little children then I could talk about future disasters and terrorism to avoid them.

11. What is the thing that will make you think he/she is bad?

Seeing that person spit on the floor. End of discussion.

12. What do you think is the most important thing in your life?

People. If i had to choose over lunch hour of a friendly chat I would go for the friendly chat.

13. Are you a shopaholic or not?

No definitely! Thats a dumb question to ask me. :D

14. If you have a chance, which part of your character you would like to change?

The ability to speak fluent chinese that will put my teachers to shame.

15. Who is the person that you can share all your problems with?

Nobody that I know of. I keep it all to myself most of the time.

16. What's your weakest point?

The inability to speak chinese.

17. What's the thing you're most proud of?

The few pictures in my weblog. :D

18. What do you think of sarcasm and irony?

They make conversations more interesting and lively if used right. Following the concept of 'With great power comes great responsibility'.

19. What are you afraid to lose the most?

All my teeth and the people around me.

20. What do you think of the invention of microscopic nanotech transmitter? (heard about it over the radio this morning)

Privacy and freedom goodbye
