PLD!!

It's 1.50am now.. I should be sleeping..
Have to wake up earlier than usual to get my mum's stuff to her later before class as she'll be going to some business conference in KL with Tun Mahathir as the first speaker and some other business leaders around the world..

Went to Parent Lecture Day last saturday with my mum as this is the last chance she's able to attend as my elder siblings have graduated and I'm the youngest..
Well.. I practically went to all the lecturers and they don't have much to talk about me anyway..
Mr. Keong was like interviewing me in front of my mum..
Well the questions are reasonable but I just couldn't answer my real thoughts that time because my mum is in front of me!!
Yes.. I'm a grown up boy.. I should have my own decision..
I'm asked whether I've put all my effort into what I'm studying??
I said no.. Obviously right??
I still play around and facebook-ing quite a lot despite the tonnes of tutorial waiting to be done..
I'm being asked again what I want to do in the future??
I answered..
Well.. Since secondary school I've spent a lot of time in astronomy..
Hence I wanted to go for aerospace engineering since there's no astronomy course in Malaysia..
And I've been to a camp at Inti-UC whereby the lecturer there told me to study mechanical 1st before going for aerospace and hence I've decided to go for it after A Lvls..
Then I said.. I also spent a lot of time in photography and skating..
Before I can go to my next sentence..
My mum goes,
That's your hobby.. You shouldn't spend so much time on your hobby coz you should study 1st..
Why the hell everytime I talk about things beside studying and she'll just interrupt??
I'm lazy to argue with her anymore because it makes no different..
Debating is sort of like arguing hence I like arguments..
Arguments that're not one sided..
All in her mind is that I've to study hard so that I can take over my dad's company..
In which engineering is way too important for the company and hence I'm stuck..
I make my decision to satisfy the needs of both my family and myself..
Does getting full A a must??
Why they have to be so chinese??

Next lecturer I went was Ms.Ong..
She had nothing much to say besides I'M VERY CARELESS..
And I know that.. Haha..
She said that I understand and I've the knowledge..
Saying that she know that based on my questions..
Other lecturer was OK..
I was expecting much from Mr.Ding but all that he say was work harder, do more question..
My mum was shock when she know that my GP essay has been deducted by 10 marks just because I didn't write the question number.. Here goes another example of the blur-ness in me..
I think I'm way to blur as compare to my classmates and coursemates...
Ms.Ong said that I've to reflect my knowledge on my papers and try not to be so blur..
Well.. I handed this impossible job to chicken essence which I did not had even 1 drop of it in all my examinations since.. Practically all of my life.. Haha..
Hope it helps.. =)

I'm still thinking how to tell my mum that I want to buy myself a pair of skate though using my own money.. Haih...
Aww.. My cousin just got himself a brand new Nikon D7000..
Went to his house today.. It's great that his dad is willing to spend money on his future..
My mum tell me something today..
She's wondering why Tun Mahathir want to invest money on bakery shop..
Ex-PM opening bakery shop??
Then I tell her.. What's the point of saving all your money in bank and make no use of it..
Adding that I can earn even more money than just waiting for interest by the bank..
Investment.. First thing to induce cash flow..

Business is never so healthy as when, like a chicken, it must do a certain amount of scratching around for what it gets. - Henry Ford

You're blessed,

Life through lenses..

I'm alone in Cherrie's house..
With a bowl of Koko Crunch as my companion..
Slept for 2 days at her house..
1st day is to wake her up to study..
and the 2nd day is to make sure that she wake up to get her new house keys..
It seems that I've failed the 2nd task..
Hence she's now unable to shift her stuff to the new house today as planned..
>.<

My life as an amateur astrophotographer..
Still new..
Still learning..
Still experimenting..
Here's some photo taken by me using Nikon D3100..
My first sunset shot from my house balcony..

First time chase ISS..
First time see Venus, Mercury and Mars..
Saw Jupiter and Saturn through telescope before but no photo..
Expect to see Space Shuttle Endeavour cruse through also but seems like it's too small to be detected..

While waiting for ISS to appear..
This great opportunity comes..
Moon surrounded by tonnes of cloud..
An eye in the sky..

Who say there's no stars in Malaysia??


Light spectrum.. Green's missing.. >.<

Sun rise in Taman Tasik Titiwangsa, Kuala Lumpur.

Some random photo.. =)
Street lamp with man-made fountain..

B&W photo of street lamp and coconut tree..

When I'm about to leave..
This aunty take thing 'no idea what's that called' in front of my car..
Immediately I rush to her and take photo..
She's shy anyway..
Asking whether I'm doing any projects.. Haha..


Obviously there's still much for me to improve..
Credits to Nigel Choy (another astrophotographer) for editting some of the photos..
Credits to Chin Su Jing's Nikon D3100..

Clubs activity will resume after my final paper next wednesday..
Gonna be extremely busy for my 3rd semester..
Well for now.. Hope for the best for my A Level AS exam..

I gambled on having the strength to live two lives, one for myself and one for the world.
