Our Journey – Dunia Pesona

Yesterday, I had my last paper for final exam, so I am merdeka already by the afternoon. So I headed to Queensbay Mall, Penang as I heard there will be a model catwalk and fashion show there. But it is the 2nd reason actually why I was there. The main reason is to see my fav band lately, Estrella perform live. 

For those who don;t know who is Estrella, u can ask mr google. As u can see at my website, I am using their song “Ternyata” as my background music. The show begin with local chinese band which i don’t remember their name. Then with other band which I also forgot la their name. 

Then baru la this band Estrella turn to perform. Which surprisingly just playing one song without vocalist ! Dammmm I was there from 2.00 pm (i thought they start at 2.00pm) but u guys just play one song without vacalist ? WTF ! Then the MC announce that the vocalist cannot make it that day ….. haiya … spoilt !

The the last perfomance way by Juwita Suwito. Just a song but with a powerful voice. Before i already heard this “Juwita Suwito” name, but i thought she is Indonesian and look like Kriss Dayanti. Hahahahaha , I am so “nangoi” with this music industry la.

Then baru la the fashion show start, A few artist show up, and I only remember Elaine Daly. Others already forgot, kah kah kah . 

I met a few new member and also met my flickr member “new2mac” at the scene. Today i attend my tennis training and tomorrow I ll be leaving to Langkawi for a tennis game. Wish me the best of luck, although the chances are really-really small. So there will be no update for next week.

Also today my wife had her netball selection game and she is selected. So she will be leaving to Terengganu with me in June 2009. So who’s ganna be the photographer ? Hahahahah

Its a good news when she selected, but it also mean new shoes, new tracksuit, new wristband, new shirt and bla..bla….bla…. new.. new.. new…. 

* She asking for everything new, I just asking for a new car paint !! Hahahahaha

I am half way of my most busy period.

I think I am reaching my limit now. Dulu aku sering berkata pada diri sendiri, jika kita masih mampu mengawal diri dan masa kita, itu bermakna kita masih belum cukup laju bergerak. Now I am thinking 24 hours a day sememangnye tak mencukupi. It’s been hampir a month now I have just about 3-4 hours night sleep.

Hopefully after my final exam this 25th April, aku ada sedikit kelapangan untuk hal-hal lain. In my very-very pack schedule lately, I am manage to drop by to some photography event in northern region. Previously with Zainal Halim (REUTERS)’s talk and last week PJVPP class.

Even agak bz with my class, study, tennis training and tugas hakiki di USM, sempat jugak melawat diorang pada malam hari Sabtu yg lepas. Kehadiran aku sekadar memberi sokongan kepada mereka rakan-rakan peminat fotografi. After night session by Shaiful Rizal tamat around pukul 12.00 tengah malam. Me and my wide had a little TT with those speaker and participant. Thanks to Khalil PJVPP for the drinks. 

Among yang hadir is of course le the course speaker for this program. Malaysian Editing Icon or should I say “Dave Hill” Malaysia , KUKUBESI and Photojournalist, Shaiful Rizal. Actually this is my first time berjumpa dengan KB even dah bertahun kenal beliau di alam maya. Lu memang rawkkk la KB. Akhirnya dapat juga aku melihat seluar unta ang secara live . Wakakakakaka …  Pic above is my wife with KB and Shaiful Rizal during TT at Subaidah Tg. Bungah. KB still in a really good mood after enjoying wathing ‘Hafiz’ in Konsert Akedemi Fantasi dalam bilik dia sebelum tuh …… Hahahahahaha .. while Shaiful Rizal dah macam ‘Zombie’ menahan letih sampai buat muka macam nak tido kat Subaidah tuh…

We discuss a lot if thing, even sekejap but the input is agak menarik for me. And the input juga make me re-think about myself and my passion in photography. It been a while aku memikirkan nak cuba keluar dari skop wedding semata-mata. Memang tak mampu nak tinggalkan 100% wedding atas few reason yang aku rasa korang mampu pikir sendiri. But I think aku perlu kurangkan dan mencari sesuatu yg baru selain wedding.

I am thinking should I do that ? The next day I got a comment from Zainal Halim (REUTERS) in my previous post about Art Of Seeing. It’s an honour for me when Zainal sudi melawat teratak buruk blog ini and leave a comment. I never know he monitoring my work. Kebetulan apa yg dikomen mmg antara perkara yang sedang aku fikirkan. So ? I think this maybe the right time for me to change. At least ‘a bit’. Right ?

But, persoalannya…. sempat ke aku nak buat macam diorang buat dalam keadaan aku macam ni ?

Come on Apit …. itu hanya alasan .. Hahahahahaha.. sure I will try to do my best ..

My tentative schedule for this month until June will be like this :

23/04/2009 – 25/04/2009 : Final Exam in Penang

27/04/2009 – 03/05/2009 : Tennis Sukan Badan Berkanun, Pulau Langkawi

04/05/2009 – 08/05/2009 : UKKP Course, USM Minden

11/05/2009 – 16/05/2009 : Lab IV, UTM Skudai, Johore Darul Takzim

03/06/2009 – 13/05/2009 : Tennis, Intervasiti, Terengganu Darul Iman

Hurmmm ….. camne nak jadikan 48 jam dalam sehari ?

** Ada sesape di Langkawi nak ber TT next week ? calling-calling la ye ….

Sudah agak berhabuk blog ini. Dah agak lama tidak berkesempatan nak update due to sooooo many problem and komitmen.

I was at Zainal Abdul Halim (REUTERS)’s talk this evening. It’s memang satu kerugian besar aku tak dapat join all my friends dalam kelas ini. Unfortunately my class yang suppose habis last week dianjakkan kepada this week and next week. So bukan saje kelas Zainal ini aje yang aku terlepas, but termasuk juga le kelas anjuran Persatuan Jurufoto & Video Pulau Pinang (PJVPP).

Habis aje kelas tengahari tadi aku terus ke PISA, ada Bridal & Photo Exibition. Tujuan aku pegi fair ni untuk beli wireless flash trigger. So masuk je terus pegi one booth nie , amik Phottix wireless trigger, round-round sikit. Then terus bertolak ke PSP, amik my wife then terusssssss ke Puteri Emerald Hotel, Sungai Petani.

Sampai je, of course le kelas dah di peringkat penghujungnya, sesi kritik and review gambar sedang berlansung. Aku sempat melihat hasil outing para peseta yang hadir, sungguh menakjubkan ! Tak dinafikan ramai peserta dapat deliver good picture after kelas ni. Masing-masing dah ada improvement. Walaupun anda masih jauh dari pencapaian bergelar SI POLAN/REUTERS Malaysia, but at least U have deliver better pic than before.

Lepas kelas aku diminta untuk merakamkan group photo kelas ni since aku je bukan peserta kelas kat situ. So sebab tuh le pic diorang nie ada kat aku. For those yang nak gambar yang masih belum di crop, sila klick link di bawah post ini. Kat situ juga aku berkesempatan untuk merakamkan Abg Zainal in action. 

This time personally aku nak meminta maaf kepada semua warga PJVPP kerana tidak dapat memenuhi permintaan mereka bagi mengggantikan Wazari Wazir sebagai pengajar dalam kursus mereka. Thanks to Black kerana sudi menjemput but sorry guys, ada paper yang perlu di ambil. 

This month is very-very pack month with all test and final exam. My last paper will be on 25th April 2009. And hopefully maybe on 27th April 2009 I’ll be in Langkawi mewakili USM dalam acara tenis dalam kejohanan sukan badan berkanun.

Today my routine avery night is study, study and study. And my routine for every evening if tak hujan is training tenis. Arghh .. it’s a very-very pack moth for me. Di tambahkan pulak when my wife secara tak sengaja dah melengkapkan seluruh side kereta dengan koleksi terbarunya when dia langgar motor orang when reversing. It’s really hurting bila benda yang kita cuba jaga dengan baik, asyik ada saje yang merosakkan. Now depan, kiri, kanan and yang terbaru and terburuk di belakang kereta semua dah ada kesan dari my wife. Tragik kan ? 

Album tak abis-abis lagik …. hurmmmm …..
