[out of topic] Why Americans are Jobless 10.2% today ?!!

I got this from my colleague. :)

John Smith started the day early having set his alarm clock (MADE IN JAPAN) for 6 am.

While his coffeepot (MADE IN CHINA) was perking, he shaved with his electric razor (MADE IN PHILIPPINES).

He put on a dress shirt (MADE IN SRI LANKA), designer jeans (MADE IN SINGAPORE) and tennis shoes (MADE IN VIETNAM).

After cooking his breakfast in his new electric skillet (MADE IN INDIA), then he sat down with his calculator (MADE IN MEXICO) to see how much he could spend today.

After setting his watch (MADE IN TAIWAN) to the radio (MADE IN INDIA), he got in his car (MADE IN GERMANY), filled it with GAS (from Saudi Arabia)and continued his search for a good paying AMERICAN JOB.

At the end of yet another discouraging and fruitless day checking his computer (MADE IN MALAYSIA), John decided to relax for a while.

He put on his sandals (MADE IN BRAZIL) poured himself a glass of wine (MADE IN FRANCE) and turned on his TV (MADE IN KOREA), and then wondered why he can't find a good paying job in AMERICA.

AND NOW HE'S HOPING HE CAN GET HELP FROM A PRESIDENT (MADE IN KENYA).

Janda Baik, Pahang

I wish I can be here, now!

Janda Baik is another wonderful getaway from havoc living of Kuala Lumpur. Among all streams that we can find around Kuala Lumpur, I have to say Janda Baik is the best so far. A 45 - 60 minutes drive (from Gombak), its really worth once you deep in your feet into the ICY COLD water. Its refreshing, and you can breath in a very clean air. Surrounding by green,  I mean trees, with few kampung houses, makes your eyes mesmerized with the view.

I went there back in October 2009, as I need to do some survey for my department's family day. With my friends, we went there with missions;

• family day's survey
• photography session
• mandi!

However, only mission 1 and 2 were accomplished. Mandi was out from the plan, as we found the river quite shallow, non-suitable for an overweight adults like us! Ahahahah!

Do enjoy our photos!

 One of the resort, shantek!

No words to describe

The photographers! :)

I'll be there again. More than once, of course! :)

Friends Gathering @ Taman Tasik Metropolitan, Kepong

I was looking for a photography session, which is a planned photography session, with people that I know and comfortable to work with. I set my status on my YM, gTalk "photography session for free" (sort of), and then a friend of my from previous company message me that she's interested.

After few time of discussion (online!), we made the "deal".

So, on one Sunday morning, off we go to Taman Tasik Metropolitan (Kepong). The weather was cloudy, but we just went on with the photography.

All of this is just for my portfolio, konon! :)

All my friends from my previous company.

Me & Photography 1

It started in 2003. Salman, a friend of mine, showed his newly bought digital camera (Canon Ixus) when we visited him and Nono (wife). They just got their first child and he took few pictures of Naim (his son) and my 6 months old Haris. The pictures were nice and adorable, as for the first timer to see his own son pic in digital format! I found it’s very tempting; I shall say having a digital camera is a must as it is more convenience and less cost.

At that moment I just bought a film camera (Olympus). An ancient technology! I have to buy the film, and have to wait until the film finishes it rolls for me to see the photos. The click is limited, up to 36 images per roll. The result might be good and might be not and only can be known after you send it to be developed. But with digital camera, you can see the result immediately, click as many as you want, remove photos that you don’t want right on the spot. The best is, you can set your camera to give output in sephia, black and white and many more.

So, I end up buying one Canon IXUS 40 at one Seng Heng shop with the price of RM 2000! Its damn expensive, if you compare with the price now, of course. But I don’t really care. My intention was to capture the best moments of my family, especially my kids going through their growing years.

It’s a worth buy.

And after months and years, the temptation is growing. The camera is no longer for “family pictures”, the “scope” has been widen to everything around me. Name it trees, insects, buildings, flowers and all. I really enjoy it and then realize that I have found my new hobby, photography.
