Of what hides in the shadow.

Nevertheless, you can always move forward.

This may be kind of random, but starting from now, I resolve to write more in this blog. As to why? SAT and TOEFL scares me especially when it comes to writing. I haven't had anything much written for the past months that now my writing has become really terrible. It's not like I can't write anymore, but I tend to digress a lot halfway. Seems like I have to do something before it gets any worse. 

Changing track. Changing pace.

With Ridhwan in green around KL plus the signboard.

Yeah. Another signboard. I'm obsessed. -.-

Haven't had anything interesting to be updated lately so I guess updating about my boring life will do this time. Wait a minute. Isn't that what I've been doing all these times around. -.- Never mind.

Finally after months rotting at home, looks like I've finally settled down my unhealthy life of eating and sleeping at home. Registered at college last 3rd of July. I can't say anything yet for now because classes are yet to start. On Friday 8th, did the class placement test and gave it my best. It was an english test. I am not expecting much from it though. 63/70. There should be many others on par and many others who are better since most of them are scholars. -.-

I can slack off no more here. 

Wish me all the best here. 

Even if it's just a simple wish, it means a lot to me as a motivation.

Let it be like this for a while.

New post, new background, new color theme, and a new header. Let's just say that I've just given this blog a fresh new breath even though it has never breathe before nor lived. Now now, cut the crap.
Apparently I was bored today so I spent the day revamping the layout and designing the header. The layout doesn't take much time because all I did was changing the color codes that I previously set up for the previous layout. The background, those sprocket holes, took only a little while because they're just holes I did just to fill the blank a little. What took some time was the header. I waited long just to think of what to put in it.

Anyways, the city line, or silhoutte or whatever you call it was based on one of a friend's work. Kimal.
Thanks goes to him.

I know, I know. It's not that much of a change anyway. The wrappers are pretty much still the same. I thought of changing it all way through but you know, laziness prevented that from happening. The choice of colours may seem somewhat moody but never mind. At the very least, it makes coloured pictures pop out. : D
At least, that's what I think.

Fine :) I'll pluck you instead.

Laws created by human, there are always flaws.

Chasing a Rainbow

Saturday. It was suppose to be a calm day but I woke up the day with a bang. A friend woke me up earlier than usual. And that was damn ugh. What dream I was having in my sleep vanished straight away from my memory. Due to sudden awakening maybe? Everyone woke up and prepared early, not wanting the same thing that happened last Saturday to happen again.

And so, the daily routine began. While I was tidying up my locker, I found a film strip under a bulk in my drawer. It was morning, and the angle of the sun rising at that time made the sunlight to fell into my dorm in streaks of light through the old wooden window. Since my locker was set facing the window, I, happened to be standing in front of my locker at that moment, held up the film towards the window and to my surprise, the film happened to be the first roll I shot using my Yashica. I had it processed and printed before but never scanned.

I was ecstatic because I thought it was lost for a long time already. After inspection was over, I took the film strip along with my camera and had it scanned at a nearby photo center.

The results:

I can't quite remember exactly when I shot these. But most were during a cheering event for a rugby match.

It rained throughout the noon and evening. By evening, the rain started to recede. I was on my way back to dorm when I spotted a rainbow in the sky. Back then, I was in front of the tennis court of the West Wing. The view of the rainbow was pretty much blocked by a row of trees in front of the court. I strode faster and made it upstairs of the Overflow building. I wanted to take a shot of the rainbow and upstairs Overflow would provide a better view. Sadly, by the time I reached there, the rainbow had gone in just a matter of seconds. Quite a frustrating moment.

From now on, I'll be more ready when it rained in the afternoon. Although I missed one, I'll try not to miss the next.

The rainbow's sudden disappearance taught me a lesson.

Once an opportunity is there, you have to grab it fast.

Really fast.

Time and tide wait for no man. And so do rainbows.

Yashica MG-1 Random Shots

Pictures were shot at various places around Kuala Kangsar.
Some may ask why am I taking these random shots.
And why?
The answer is simple.
It's because I like it.

The Days of The Analogue

The pictures were all taken using aYashica MG-1.

An old rangefinder camera from the 1975.

The one I bought from an antique seller at Arena Square, Kuala Kangsar during the Perak Water Festival.

That day, was a day I'll never forget.

And so I have the old camera as a memento.

The camera though old, it still looks nice and functioning well.

As a film camera, the pictures sure surprised me after having it processed and scanned.

Well you know, you won't know how the picture looks like the moment you snap it.

Even with some damage to the film of an unknown cause, all that I can say is,

I'm pretty much satisfied.

P/S: The light leaks, I am not sure where it came from. I'm sure that I didn't open the back cover when there's a film. I need more time experimenting to figure it out.
