Since i was small, i picked up badminton as my main sport, trained by my dad and i got the chance to proceed to formal badminton training together with my primary school friends. I love badminton a lot but unfortunately i had to stop my training after entered secondary school due to extra-curriculum activities. After leaving the training, i rarely pick up my badminton racket as we didn't have much motivation or setting to continue this sport. Until we reached form 4, i started to pick up jogging as my alternative sport after badminton. During that time, we began to train ourselves on badminton due to school inter-class competition. They become my main sport and accompanied me until i peruse my study to university. I enjoyed the day i jog together with my best friends regardless guys or girls, they were a good accompanies and supporters for me to work on it. I jog because i wish to maintain and improve my stamina so that i can play badminton batter. I never participated any open marathon out of school cross country run. I never think i could run further than 10km since i used to jog less than 4km in my hometown and around 7km around my university. Hence i never have any though on participating long marathon run until one of my course mate persuaded us. He tried his best to persuade us to participate in full marathon category in Borneo International Marathon (42KM). My first reaction was, "Are you mad, bro?" since i never think to participate any run before, not even this extremely long and expensive marathon. I don't really have any idea on how we going to do this. He even offer to support us financially as long as we participate and achieve this honor with him. Okay, his persuasion works and i really wish to give it a shot, although it is RM130. We have only 2 months to improve ourselves from daily 7KM to a 42KM distance. In the every first training, we set our destination outside of university as the circumference of university is too small and uneven distribution of gradient. We had our hard time when returning from the destination. We didn't have experience on preparation of a long marathon, so we got our legs cramped and not able to jog back to our university. We walked back to our university with extensively long duration. From that, we have learnt that we should always keep ourselves hydrated and keep our salt level stable to avoid cramp of legs from happening. Slowly, we make our way from 10km to 18km and finally to 24km. We are able to enjoy every golden hour of sunset while jogging due to the route we set is located just right beside the beach. It makes our hard works pay off with the feel of achievement. Behind Suria shopping complex is a perfect spot for sun set seeing, do check it out if you will be there around in the evening. I appreciate my friend who persuaded us to participate in this marathon; without him we couldn't complete so much challenge and improve so much. :)

Hey peeps, i am coming back for this. And now, i will present my blog with another kind of mode, which will no longer only restricted to events' photos, but i will include those daily photo shoot photos here. For your information, with the current course that i am studying, i don't really have much time for any other activities or hobbies except sports, the most worthwhile activity that i could do other than study (from my own point of view). I will never imagine that i have the chance to be here, Sabah, the state with closest distance to nature and outdoor activities. I wish i could be able to record all of the activities, locations, weathers, moods et cetera throughout this 5 years (or even more if i further my housemanship or mo here?) I love photography, but i don't really have much time for it. In order to find a balance between both of them, i will spare some time for it. So ya, do enjoy and give a thumb up if u like them :)
The very first
attempt in videography and i am totally new in this honestly.
However, i knew i
have to get this ready and play it during prom night. Hence i planned
everything, everthing!
I setup the story line and discussed it with our main
character, Jerome and Ker Ro.
Jerome is our song composer and Ker Ro is the
lyrics writer.
Luckily they were willing to sacrifice their holiday to help out.
Friends around us had that 2 weeks’ time to prepare their prom night suit while
we were stuck with the weather in this 2 weeks’ time.
They understand what the
feeling beneath, hahaha.
We get ourselves ready from 6 o'clock morning until 5
o'clock evening and even until 10 o'clock in Penang International Airport.
Jerome even need to ride home wet due to the sudden rain in night from PIA to
Jelutong, i am sorry about that.
After that, I become couch potato in front of
the monitor since morning to night; wish that i could finish this as soon as
possible.
Unfortunately, the day before prom night, when i got everything
almost done, including the full lyrics animation (i did it manually since i
used Adobe After Effect to make everything), my monitor get black in sudden.
It
was a short circuit and whole building had gone no electricity supply.
It was 4
o'clock midnight and i haven't saved my file.
OMG!!! Why would you do that to
me? I get back to sleep and wake up at 6 o'clock next day.
Luckily prom night
will be holding on 6 o'clock, so i had some time to redo again.
I managed to
complete everything at 3 o'clock.
HOWEVER, i couldn't render that whole video
successfully.
The video was either hang at some part and didn't play anymore,
or get stretched on the ratio of the screen (people in the video become very
short and fat).
Damn it, i was so frustrated. The exact feeling when you cannot finish your essay during exam.
I tried many
alternative methods just to hope to let it play successfully.
I get my suit on
and bath in just 15 minutes, rusher than the moment i go to school late.
I even
reached the ball room late, too bad.
In the end, i choose the file that has
some problem on some part during playback.
Thanks god, it just hangs for around
3 seconds at that part and return normal after that.
This is the best defect
rather than i fail to play it during prom night.
Anyway, i would like to give
my token of appreciation to Jerome and Ker Ro for helping me throughout this MV
making.
Making a video by myself that i really enjoy was a big goal for me
before this and i really make it!
The meaning of this video that i wanna bring
out is that i hope that all of us could really appreciate the friends around
us, i believe true friendship exists.
They had become part of the story of your
life.
Every incident you have with them just like puzzle, you cannot lose any
pieces or else it will not become a complete picture.
Hope you enjoy it, cheer!
We took it right after last STPM paper, which is the Chemistry paper. For those who are not going to retake their STPM papers, i think it's the last chance to wear school uniform. Form 6 leaves lot more memories than i expect, i really enjoy it although it is quite tough throughout the preparation phase before the examination. Maybe you don't treat me as an important person during form 6, but i do. I appreciate everyone of you that appear in my life and become part of the story of my life. Not sure how strong is the bond of our friendships is, but i hope we are still friend in future we meet. Good luck and see ya!
It's my second second graduation in Chung Ling High School. Time flies, one and the half year is over. The life studying in Chung Ling High School is awesome. I enjoyed it very much! We are out of scheme, quarrel or even the mini politic. Besides academic pressure, everyone were cheerful and helpful here, smiley face can be seen from face-to-face. We will never know when will we gather again, so i appreciate the chance we have now. Most of us waving hand say goodbye, hugging and promises to keep in touch on this day, but is it really exist? Anyway, i hope it's true for me. Thanks everyone for helping me in the past. Keep in touch yea ;)
(Don't misunderstood, i am just choosing the prettiest photo that i like! hahaha)
This trip was said to be a spontaneous trip. However, i know there is someone out there work out on it, did plenty of research on the place of interest and made it into series of schedule. A trip will never successfully planned without such person hahaha. I am so sorry i didnt helped you guys on planning. I appreciate it and thanks so much! Seldom have a trip with friend, this is the third or forth time trip i suppose? Really unforgettable,although it is just an one day trip. That day, everything are true, our friendship, our smile and our happiness. Peng Jack was the whole trip driver. I am so sorry and thankful to him since he always be the most responsible driver ever to us even though that's not his responsibility. Having a nice trip with besties is the most enjoyable thing in life ;)
Before entering Form 6, we used to have a heritage photo walk together. I miss the day we walk for the whole afternoon, getting exhausted after a long day. Time flies, we are seldom meeting each other and seldom have the chance to have a photo walk. Hence, i volunteer to be the committee member and help out as a photographer to find the feeling back hahaha. Of course, i know they are glad to have my help =P The weather is quite nice to have such outdoor activities, but unfortunately, it was raining during the beginning of the activities. Luckily it stopped at the right moment just before the games get started. I felt happy when everyone were putting a smile on their face. The satisfactions cant be elaborated. Hope you guys enjoy this event and the photos as well :)
It's the second time i have the chance to take graduation magazine committee photos. Actually, i have totally no idea on what pose, background, story and style to take, like without any idea to start an essay. I admire how professional photographers have their idea to bring out their thinking into photos. Although i have gone through some of the professional photographer's masterpiece, but when everything comes into real practical, my mind are actually blank. How much i hope i have a good guider guides me about this. Unfortunately, these photos look great here, but not in the megazine ( i am sorry if i harassed you about your hard works in editing hahaha). Thanks for giving me this opportunities too everyone! Hope you guys like it. ;)
A very unusual phenomena occurred during that day. I woke up and went to wash my face. Before reaching the basin, i was shocked by the scenery at the back of my house. I never seen such scenario before, the road was filled with small yellow petals, pelting down continuously in tremendous amount, it was so amazing. Without wasting anytime, i quickly rush to get my camera immediately. So lucky Kelvin camera is with me hahaha! This is the time to use ultra large aperture (f/1.2) to take a few shots. Nana was also came and joined the fun right after i unlock the door. What a heaven for her. Hope to see this again next time!
This is my very first time to participate in such charity work. Throughout this activity, i felt how happy they are. They are not surrounded with technology, 3C products such as smartphones, tablets or computer. They got very limited sources such as books, choice of foods, or even freedom to go anywhere. However, when they smile, it is true. I heard one of the kid ask us, it is his birthday today and when will his grandma pay him a visit? As we know from the elder, his grandma is not really okay (or ......? I am not pretty sure). I felt so sorry for him, i hope he would be really happy here. We are born at very excellent condition, we are free to choose what we like and go for it; but they are limited when they are young. But dream bring us up. Dreams, aims, and target tend to give us energy to go further and be strong. I wish they could achieve what they wish for and be really happy. Good luck and all the best, you guys can make it ;)
