Breakfast at Bangkok Lane this morning. =p

life brief candle

u see.. this is life. it's full of surprises and it's unpredictable. but that's what makes life. different tastes make life more colourful. what drives us from living? it's our hope, our dream, the things we enjoy and the people we love.

how sad to receive a news that my good friend's amma has just passed away. She was so healthy. I often see her in her smile and confident walk despite her old age. It has been years since I see here. But because of the heart operation, she lost her life. When I see her again, it will be at her funeral. The doctor should be more careful, alert and responsible instead of giving excuses.

I'll repeat what i said again laz nite in my blog, enjoy n appreciate the present.

Be strong Cynthia.

parents

We love our parents but we just don’t know how to express it most of the time. 

Then they will feel that we don't care about them, we don't love them and we are not obedient. 

It’s even harder to show our love when the dark histories during our childhood still hunt us down. 

It’s hard to forgive and forget isn’t it? 

We willing to spend so much on friends' birthday, Valentine's, convocation, wedding etc etc but we never buy a present for the one who brought us up. 


Some never even give a hug or kiss to their parents before. 

Enjoy and appreciate the present..

We are only given one father and one mother in our lifetime.

I.. am still struggling to let go my past..

But i love my parents, sibling and grandparents.

Plain White T's - Hey There Delilah



let's listen to this song again! =p

my first watermarked photo!



Finally.. finally! Oh yes finally after being nagged so long by caring friends to have my own watermark to protect my photos from being used without permission and without proper credits, today I made my own watermark. wohooo sexy!

Ayooo creating n putting a watermark is really hard when you are not good in technology. So mahuan.  But what is not hard when you start learning them, right?

Now I know how to put a watermark. And jeng jeng jeng let me show off a bit my first photo with my simple watermark and it’s a panorama shot! How? Comment a bit, not on the photo, but the watermark. Er.. like that lo. Nothing special also..

It took me at least 30 minutes just to learn and put that GREAT watermark ok!

Aiyah this blog’s design is too small for my panorama shot la. Click at this link to view it bigger lah. http://oce-thephotojournalist.blogspot.com/2012/02/panorama-first-watermark.html

Yes OCE is proud of himself cuz he made it by his own effort. Aih.. you know, if you really want something, it’s really possible to get it if you put your heart into what you are doing.

Haih.. so now I have to watermark all the good photos before I post it online ah? Aiyah.. Someone help me do la…

*NOW YOU ARE YOU GOING TO STEAL THIS PHOTO? eh u can take away the watermark ka??*

quote of the day

Everything in life can be repaired. But if we never try to use heart to fix it, then it will forever spoiled.

quote of the day

God never let you down. Only people let you down especially those who are close to you.

Silver Chariot makes its way


The silver chariot carrying the image of Lord Murugan makes it way to Nattukottai Chettiar Temple, Waterfall Road from Kovil Veddu, Queen Street at 6.30am this morning where thousands of devotees have gathered there from as early as 5am to celebrate Thaipusam in Penang.

multicultural beautiful Penang

Penang is a very good example of unity, high social awareness, development, green initiative and most importantly a melting pot of multi-culturalism and a diverse society where people regardless of their differences in religion, custom, belief, race, age, gender and political divide come together in whatever occasions. And in these few days, the spirit of Penangites is shown again where we celebrate non-stop festivals from Maulidul Rasul to Chap Goh Meh to Thaipusam and many more.

This is why I am proud being a Penangite. 


We against extremism and racism.

I am made to be muhibbah and i have friends from all kind of backgrounds.

Penang is such a beautiful island. =p

Lim Guan Eng attended Pai Thi Kong Celebration like an angel


Chief Minister of Penang, YB Lim Guan Eng attended the Pai Thi Kong Celebration at Chew Jetty, Penang on Monday night, the 8th day of Chinese New Year accompanied by the war-zone like fireworks in the air.

It was a night to pray to the God of Heaven or Thi Kong but when Lim Guan Eng arrived, the scene turned into as if an angel has just sent from Heaven down to the people. RELA members have to jaga him from the eager public to shake his hand and take his photos. It was really havoc. Good havoc. The young and old, laki pompuan, cina india melayu dan sebagainya suka sama dia. =p

*few more photos to come*

home.. =)



Hi my sexy Penang and hot Malaysia i'm seeing you again. it's so nice to be home.. This is where i belong! =)

I just landed in Penang at 5pm just now and reached home at 8 something. Damn tired. After cleaning up, I’ll go to amma’s house to prepare the Pai Thni Kong celebration.

I feel like I’ve been away for so long although it’s like just half a month. But half a month is really long for me. I missed a lot of things in Penang. But everything happens for a reason la.

You can have the both worlds you know. In life, you need to choose. When you choose, you need to let go something else.  So while you are having something now, you have to sacrifice other things that come along the way. Unless your life is so dull that you don’t have to make any choice.

My journey started from Sunday 15/1/2012. I went to Hong Kong with my dad. Then to Taiwan on Sunday 22/1/2012. My mum, sister, aunty and amma flew there to meet us. Then on 25th my brother flew there alone to meet us. Funny I know. Everyone like went separately to a same destination. What to do, my mum and brother is working while my sister is schooling.

It’s ok la. as long as we celebrated CNY together overseas. So I consider it as a family trip .

I’m done with travelling this year. I am super broke. It’s time to work, work harder, save and save more money before I fly again next year. I make it to a point that I must travel and get my passport chopped at least once a year from different countries.

Now time to clean up, unpack and pray. House is loaded with things and messy again. Wohooo!

*yes I practice Penang-centrism. =)*

CNY 2012 - Nasi lauk you never taste before!



Simple and yet meaningful Chinese New Year video.

my midnight time

It's boring to blog nowadays.

so what do you do at this hour? Sleeping? Or still awake?

What type of person are you? Morning type of person or night type of person?

I'm a night person.

I works better at night.

I remember i used to study at night for my PMR, SPM and STPM and it worked well. I even studied till the next morning.

I don't know but i remember things more at night, to be specific, midnight.

So midnight is my working hours. =p

I feel less stress.

I don't have to response to people at this hour and they will be sleeping, no one will bother what i do at this hour.

It's nice to do things at your preferable time.

Inspirations come visit me at night.

I can be alone. I can do what i want. I can have all the time by myself. I hear no noise. I hear no people except my loyal radio.

Night time is peaceful. It's calm. It's relaxing.

*by the way, i am happy with my friends who are already working and got a job.*

The moment is here. The results of my final exam of my final semester have just released.

Oh i am so excited. And i'm so happy for my classmates and friends as they are now officially graduated. Everyone is posting it on Facebook. 

But i haven't checked mine. I freak out.

Everything happened so fast. 

Just a few hours ago, i posted in my Facebook that "u worry abt not getting a job? i worry abt not passing my final final exam lo.. "

Now, UTAR announced the results. All this while i was anticipated for it but not this time.

I have some bad feeling. I just feel uneasy.

It's like something bad is gona happen.

There's a very thick insecurities built in me.

I have been so grumpy lately thinking of the results. 

homaigawad homaigawd.

I just want to pass la, not A...

protest safely for Anwar

Whoever is going for Anwar’s peaceful gathering tomorrow morning, may you be safe. Bring mask and salt. I don't think you can really have a smooth protest like the pro-government people. Too many double standards by the police. As I believe in democracy and support any peaceful activities, remember there’s always limit in freedom and everything else in the world. Whatever you do, do it with a clear reason and not to follow blindly. Protest safely..

fed up of street protest

eh dah bosan meluat fed up la hali hali semua benda pun mau protest mau teriak on da road. tak penat ke? buat la kerja lain. be creative a bit la..

yes u can protest. i don't disagree to protest.

But why must it everytime on the road. Why must all the time street protest?

Why small matter or matter that don't affect the society in general or the majority of us, political parties also take advantage to protest?

Go ahead if you political big guns want to protest but don't misuse the people.

early angpau RM50

like what Rachael said, i got an early ang pau.

true enough..

Cuz i got RM50 today. hehehe. I was just lucky again..

simple to be happy

 Oh yes I am happy today. Sometimes it’s just so easy to be happy.

I realized I am that kind of people that easily feel satisfied and contented.

What’s so happy about today?


Happiness is when Nathan slept on my bed last night soundly and we missed the concert by Olivia Ong.


Happiness is when I brought Nathan to the hidden delicious Curry Mee in Air Itam where only local know where it is.

Happiness is when I saw the Curry Mee aunties are still around and they smiled at me.


Happiness is when I got to know that my loved one is called for an interview at The Star.

Happiness is when I bargained kao-kao and bought antiques aka unwanted items aka rubbish cheap-cheap at Armenian Street ‘thieves’ market. 







Happiness is when I got updates from Pei Suang.

Happiness is when I got to know that Ai Loon is now working in a newspaper company in Penang! Wohooo!

Now I know why I pokai – food, books, travel, antiques.

*isn't it simple to be happy*

manusia..

Manusia memang macam tu kan. Bila dah kehilangan baru nak menghargai. haha! tak terlambatkah?

I prefer to be in a monetary poor family than a poor of love family. 

New Year's Eve from Penang Hill


This photo was taken from Penang Hill, the highest hill on the island on New Year's Eve. Shutterbugs were eagerly waiting to snap fireworks from the low land but too bad, as the time reached 12am, the dark thick clouds were covering the entire hill.

happy new year 2012

Happy New Year to all!

Selamat Tahun Baru. 

Xin Nien Kuai Le! =p

Today is Sunday, it's also a public holiday. So everyone can just relax at home and spend time with friends and family. The good thing that a public holiday falls on a Sunday is the day after which is Monday, it will be a holiday too. So, tomorrow will be another public holiday. haha.

My mum says today is a good day for spring cleaning and i have to wake up now. hmmmm.. But this means Chinese New Year is less than a month from now. wohooo! =p
