Daughtry- What about now

Omg...What about now..the song so sad,emotional but not EMO...keep listening keep crying.ouccchh hahahaha XD

anyway, ive been shooting more everyday..i mean i shoot everyday now.
yesterday i went to Little India then this morning to botanical garden.
I did not regret that i've bought 10-22mm. i can capture a very very tall tree that even my eyes cannot reach..

Title of this photo: My Dream,My wish and Aspiration


and sharing with you my picture from little india



title: Through the years
inspired by Kenny Rogers

weakness: cannot focus on the auntie's face



and from botanical garden:

before u evaluate this photo, u have to take a deep breath first and smile and laugh because this is my 1st manual focus training the real one. hahahahaha XD u see, i have to focus on the white part but i didnt so the white part is blocking the focus area that ive chosen :) funny but i rate this pict 5/10



ya then i took the
"Just Before The Rain part II"
:) i dedicated the flowers to my mom..
she loves flower
so do i..
so do my father..
and now is the time i want to reminisce something which i think is very important
first and foremost:


click the picture for bigger picture

for ur information,
i will never delete this email as long as i live as long as i breath in this world i am an ordinary person frantically SURPRISED touched and dunno what kind of felling when i saw this email on thursday afternoon i still remember the day coz i went to school for Psoc class later than usual cos i have to send them the picture and took a new photo of me coz i have no PHOTO of myself in my whole life.
and

click the picture for bigger picture
and i thought i read wrongly or ko herbert sent a wrong email how can my picture be displayed for exhibition? i even just a week holding a camera no way...ko herbert must be wrong, but then another suprised, i received direct message in twitter...this comfirmed me that ko herbert didnt send wrongly and i still keep his direct message in my twitter until today until my last day on earth


and my life starts to change,i went down to shoot below my condo everyday without fail.
until i can memorise which kind of flower
usually grow on that spot
how it looks like
what kind of cat
what kind of colour of the leaves
where wat time and anything is just surreal

and then
i went to help for the exhibition
i bet ko herbert's and ko stefen's photo
i didnt know that i will win ko stefen's photo
i didnt know
so come another surprise


CLICK the picture for bigger picture

and so,my life turn 180 degrees
everyday was a happy day for me
up and down no matter
i live in my own world
with my "baby"

and most of all, my mom begin to hear from everywhere
that her daughter is doing very well in photography
when i heard that on the phone,
i was like saying to her:
no mum, i didnt do anything.
they exaggerate to u lah.
my photo is so so...
and then when i ask her can i buy a macro lens
she straight away said yes u can
anything u can buy..
0_0
i was so happy
but i turned out not buying macro lens this year
sad sad sad
and i bought 10-22mm
it is already fated maybe

my life been never so amazing like this before,
when i just heartache or broken heart
just take my camera
go orchard and shoot
then when i get back home,
all my sorrow will disappear
so amazing
and people give u nice words...
but got some people no heart one
they said i COPY somebody's pict
that's my interpretation
or worse still, i crop somebody's pict and
published it as my work
for ur info,
all my photos are original
now, i understand the indonesian words:
IRI TANDA TAK MAMPU
i think that person suit that.
bless u lah..
u just dun understand me and dun wanna understand
anyway,now is very gloomy afternoon
i feel sleepy
hehe..
see u later readers
thank u for reading my nonsense blog everyday
:))
have a nice DAY

rainy season

been raining since 2 hours ago...
so im ponteng for sociology class AGAIN
omg.countless times of it lah.
as long as i maintain my marks in class, it's okay to pon...
well, i did well...so no worries.

been planning to practice night photography today.
but hell, raining again.
so now, i want to update my blog

few days ago, it was such a crazy days for me =X
full of suprises from everywhere.
yeah and that time i went out during the HUNTING HARD SHOPPING HARD, considered a failure
so, on tuesday i go out again....without planning of hunting.
i got a message from ko brian,that dat they got something in Budha Tooth Relic Temple.
so i went down there with taxi.

and
chinatown,clarke quay and surrounding area.
covered with walking
in the hot sun
wo hen lei..
and become LE NOIR
and

shoot this sleeping man
with a bunch of teenage photographers like me
they are shooting very close to the sleeping man
i was saying not so gud tho'
frantically,it is not respectful.
but street photography just shoot anything in front of our eyes

and this one
a figure of the Budha
i dont know...
i just shoot.
coz im not a Budhist although i was a Budhist last time




and this one is bell..
with some chinese characters on it
i cant read..and wat the hell, i went to the wet market
the uncle in there nv see my presence
and the uncle siram gw pake air.omg
* i dont know how to translate in english*
but something like he poured to me the water
as he was cleaning up the floor
terrible sight
and shot tis auntie before she turn back
she was shy...
then i said thank you to her as i have shot her XD


and that day,was really a very hot and blue day..hey, i mean a blue sky day..darn blue
i wish i were a better photographer that i can show u the real meaning of blue..
i have no picture as an evidence to show u how blue it is.with a thick clouds..omg
but i do pict them in my phone..so here it is :


i think that day was really like a photojournalism day for me...and the rainy day(14/11) before that is the PRE-practise time.
i am very thankful to my gurus...let me show u:

14/11/09 - from ko herbert :
"Looks like its gonna rain oh
Hunting seharian hrs bs enjoy the time
Take ur time to look ard
Move at ur own pace
Open up ur eyes n see more"

without this message, on the 17/11, i probably have died down in the street exhausted....

and then the jokes from ko brian always enlightened me:

that he asked me to hunt President Obama's photo..nope, he was joking he said.haha..
and then
on the 17/11 i said to him that really2 hot...i become ikan bilis already..DAMN HOT
so he replied:
"hahaha tambah item kamu..Tapi bagus langitnya,awannya gemuk2 dan biru hehe"
lols,
and then he said again:
something like i have to meet up today (but today he got something so it was cancelled)
then the last line he said:
"Haven fun...jangan lupa minum nih,dehydrasi"
awww koko so perhatiannnn..thank uu :) haha
u imagine me walking in like desert's temperature and reading his message...
i feel there is an oasis in the middle of the desert.

and last but not least is message from ko stefen..
unluckily koko cannot hunting yet that time.coz ci nae is going back to indonesia.haiya so sad
then koko said "iyah ini musim hujan,susah kalo mau hunting outdoor"
lols..okay..not i know the meaning of the sentence..

yo,so raining raining raining..how can i practice my landscape if raining continues to perservere everyday?
God, please give me time to practice before i go back to indonesia
27 more days to go to Indonesia!

-i feel like dreaming
it was a dream
where the blue and orange skies meet
in the sky of hope
or the light of blue,green,white
meets together


have a wet day friends...

HUNT HARD,PLAY HARD part 2

yes people on earth!
so i will upload the photos now...
i am very sorry for the pending
coz last night the internet is too slow....
when i went down to chinatown, first i shot the rubbish pic in the previous post...
then i shoot this with my 10-22mm..i have already the picture in my head since one month ago..i know i have to shoot on the head of the car to make the effect of the lens more obvious. Unfortunately, this dumbo brain didnt went to shoot the 5th times of it...i left the place coz it's already drizzling a little....
so....i do not get a beautiful picture of this...sad.
and, i headed to the People's Park area there...i never went there before...the whole chinatown area looks like a stranger to me...
usually i went with my parents..but that was like 4 to 5 years ago..and i still cannot notice anything.
feeling bored,so i shoot coins...
an ancient coins...


i said to myself often, i cannot shoot people
i cannot shoot a person,a HUMAN.
i am totally dunno which side is best to shoot them
but who cares?
just shoot..
i remember ko herbert's first advice last time
JUST SHOOT
and open my eyes big big..
i shoot a group of military band.
For this one, i think somehow i dont like the exposure feeling man..
kind of dark..
and wat i want is to get close to the face of the drum man, but i couldnt.
so just let it be this pic...

this picture is merely sheer of luck..fuh fuh fuh
when i look to check at my LCD, i was sighing relief
that the image is focus, no blur and technically all alright..
it's a split second shot.


the 2 photos above are randomly shoot...
i feel the "pre-wed" atmosphere
but i guess, i just too free to shoot these couples.
yes, i was so free yesterday.


ou, and thank you elaine,
she gave me an early birthday present
i love so much





instead of hunting for the whole day,
i integrate HUNTING AND SHOPPING
well done,
i really did shopping a lot
when i say a lot
it really A LOT
>.<

SHOPPING HARD,HUNTING HARD :D

i dont know what kind of expression
of urs...
when u read the title of my post today!

and yes..i oso dunno...
lols.
well done!
i went hunting just now....
initially i called hunting
but end up shopping like never shopping for 2 years.
but i didnt make up the story..
me and my roomated did SHOP like HELL.
coz it's all so cheap..SALE!!!!

no,but i didnt neglect my aim today..
to shoot.
coz my roomate joined me in harbour front...initially i went to chinatown and headed to harbourfront..lols..

yeah!
i took rubbish pictures!
eits..not this one.hahahah...

errr...due to internet connection very slow..i will upload it tomorrow instead.
im sorry for the pending but yeah...i am totally feel DISAPPOINTED!

superman for myself and others...

i am in a hurry...
so i will not talk more now..but certainly tml or nxt nxt day...

k,im selling my guitar today.
i dont know what is my feeling right now..
undefined...

and so last night, it was the most memorable night for me.
to know that others care about me.
i am damn touched by koko's words of advice.
it is unexpected that a president would want to talk all that to me,an ordinary man.
well, i also want to be like him
i want to prove that im worth it..
maybe, photography is also my talent??? just like him?
i dont know.
and at 3am, ko hans still PM in msn...he asked me how am i with my photography
i was also surprised...
yeah, 10-22mm still untoched in the box
i have no chance to go out and try it out.
some more singapore..hard to find one place.
i know east coast but that's like so far away..

anyway, if i one day would succeed in my life ( not only just bcs of photography),
i will definitely be the superman of myself and others...
"others" refer to parents or friends or stranger...
that my work will do a good to them. it is not just a work by itself..
at least i can contribute myself to the world.
that's my inspiration....

well, totally..last night i am damn suprised and touched....
i have 3 teachers that are none to be found in this earth...1 is very serious..another 1 is very naughty but so creative and camera aware lols and another one very very very funny...i will only spend time laughing and listening to them day by day...
i didnt include ko hans...sorry about that..for me to make someone be my aspiration is not that easy...only these 3 people really i can called an aspiration...

well, ko brian u owe me 1 SHOT.lols
i shall wait for u! hahahahaha XD
1 shot yach ko! 1 shot ajah >.<

k, sneak peak...tml im going to street...i dunno lah..just for fun..
no high expectation of the pics i shall take...
and also must see wat kind of weather tml would bring

my time is running out..

1 months and 5 days to go!
to go back to Indonesia particularly Tegal-Adiwerna
it is a very small village of Adiwerna..
Actually i lived in Adiwerna..Tegal is the bigger town that includes Adiwerna as one of the village.

In recent years, Tegal has been becoming popular place for tourism.
It is also well known due to the Teh Sosro that actually located in Slawi- Tegal.
* my grandpa is actually has some blood relationship with the Sosrodjoyo (the owner) family...*
well, but since my grandpa and my father's passed away, my family is no more close to them.

and i bought 10-22mm particularly for this journey..
usually when i go back to indonesia,there's no feeling. no aim no plan
this time has...
to shoot a lot of things..since singapore is limited to it's natural landscape.
and so yes, it is my time to practice as soon as possible using 10-22mm..
it's gonna be a FUN days in indonesia unlike the previous holiday journey over there.
i only play neopets at my room alone.so boring.
but this time, i have made a lot of plans.
shooting shooting and shooting.
and i hope, im not tired to walk far..since driver no use lahhhh...car oso no use...
i want to walk..better than someone drives me anywhere i go..
omg, i cant imagine already my days in indonesia although only 11 DAYS.
and for that i ponteng 3 CLASSES in December. no choice
im gg to be baptist in 18 dec..so my mom cancelled out our holiday trip to Bandung. SAD
u know Bandung is one of the best place to shoot...watever lah..heartache already.hahaha
nevermind..have to really use 11 DAYS to the MAX

k, this post is wordy...no pic at the moment..hasnt been shooting for 2 days..lols.
and i have no mood to study sociology today. and no mood to take the test tml.maybe ponteng for the test is BEST!
hehe xD
