很遗憾，在我的 Photoblog 因为某些 Error 的出现，使到 IE 不能游览本人网站， 所以还是会继续用回 Blogger 记载我比较私人化的话题及想法。至于我的 Photoblog 就当做是本人 Port Folio 网站吧！

最后乐章：爱徒篇

今天，是我最后一天教笛子，答应了安琪无论如何都要合照留念。

一直都被我认为是天才的学生，只是有点懒而已。

今天，总觉得她演奏的歌曲，特别好听。

往后的日子，你要自己加油了！

吾家教育

我，是独子。一直以来，我妈都当我是宝。

如果我参与比较有危险性的活动，都会被她训话。

还记得我很小的时候第一次骑马，她就用那种：

“跌死你啊！死衰仔！” 的眼神看着我！

可是暗地里又心想：“死衰仔！ 骑马都骑到几有 pattern 一下！”

有时真的很羡慕在国外长大的孩子，可以自小体验不同的生活乐趣。

所以我坚持继续做回衰仔！ 活在当下！

ps: 我妈还是很反对我到韩国公干，原因是猪流感，我回她：好啊！病了可以不做工，有你每天照顾我，我又可以做王帝了！

我的志愿！

N年前，曾经有人用很怀疑的眼光凝视着我问道：“Are you a professional photographer？”

那时候握在我手里的只是一个很普通的数码相机，也没有什么特别的摄影器材装备。心想：虽然我不是，但我曾经立志要当摄影指导（DOP），很遗憾，我没机会到国外念这一行。我必须从零开始，无论如何都要学会怎样利用画面带动故事，如何用最简单的拍摄手法也能让观众更投入的进入一个故事情节里。我有的是打不死的学习精神，我不会，就问人，当问到别人嫌我烦，我会上网，游览 Youtube，Wikipedia，找 Tutorial，狂做 research。当我会了，就与朋友分享，一起学习！好让这 Industry 好起来！

还记得 Joon Han 对我说，他当初也不是从什么电影学院出来的，但如果热衷于一样东西，无论花多少时间，甚至连自己生活也得搞跨，也要继续坚持到底。他拍完第一部短片后，（不是谁都可以拍的DV，而是Film）花完大部份储蓄，搞到最后在杂饭店卖杂饭。因为过不了自己那关，所以不敢把自己的作品摆出来给人看。五年后，他给我看了这部短片，这是第一部让我看了想流泪的短片，甚至到今天，看了N次，我也会有所感触。（当天 Presentation，想起那些画面，我真的很想流泪）因为受了他的影响，才决定要当DOP。最终这部短片还在威尼斯影展获得了不少的名气。这也让他更有信心拍了他一直很想拍的长片。我深信，如果我可以像他一样，有的是打不死的学习精神，一定可以如愿以偿！

总有一天，我会告诉那个人说：“ 我不是什么 Professional photographer，而是Director of Photography！” 问你死未！

Pride

上个星期与一班七仔工作人员和演员们到酒吧一起观赏 Mr Siao 首映。第一集，还算ok，能够救的，已想尽办法补救了，但是感觉还蛮不错的，看到的是他们的诚意，更感受到演员们的投入。八度空间不知何时，可以让大家同聚在一起，捧起酒杯，一边观赏首映，一边为自制节目欢呼干杯一番。至少可以让大家认同各有各的努力，被认同的眼神，往往都会形成一股力量，支撑着你，不会让你孤单的走下去。

和刚认识的朋友聊了几句，很凑巧的，大家又提到了心悬意马。一个节目能够让人留下深刻印象，是多么的有满足感！很期待，可以剧续再演奏第二乐章吗？

Ps： 还好找回了当年心悬意马的 Generic Promo，还是觉得当时的欣姨最美！

Reccie

天时，地利，人和！ 如果当天少了其中元素，那就呕 B-lood 咯！

Light or Dark Side?

Breadface

很不经意的在橱里找到在她三年前寄给我的生日礼物和被我遗忘的一封信，刚好她的生日又要到了，更过分的是，她竟然出现在我梦中！真的很多凑巧。结果买了两份礼物，来补赏她两年来我所错过的生日。

与她庆祝生日的那一天，真的充满很多惊喜！ 不是我带给她的惊喜，而是她的运气带给我的惊喜。

真的，真的，真的。。。 很感激她。她是我第一份工作所认识的异性朋友，Breadface。

The Host

Ah Yoon and Rickman, consider as the earliest host that I approach when I first entered TV station. Hosting a show is not an easy task especially working in 8tv. When it comes developing their own character, I can only see a few who can do that in this industry. Through a conversation with one of my colleague, I found out some of the people just don't appreciate what host really does for a living. Besides dealing with camera interaction, patient, creative thinking, scripting and maybe a little producing work and not too much of acting skills. Personal growth is much more important than anything else. This is not merely something that you can check off your to-do list in production.

Being a host is not being how good you look on camera or how good you pretend you could speak or deliver good speech like president. It's about how good and how sensitive you experience every single little thing that you live through your entire life. It's about how good you be yourself when cameraman press the record button and start to interpret it on screen when the red beam start to blink.

For now, I still think both of the hosts I mentioned above are the host that never blanket themselves for what they never really are. 

Most kick ass worker of the year!

Today I just heard that everyone have to come in office sharp at 9am beginning tomorrow. I don't know why HR department is so particular about this "you have to come in office on 9 am, not a minute after" rule. Maybe we don't have good discipline and good time management. I can tell that they really wanted to set things right. Fair enough. Well, I made a plan for myself as well. To make this plan works, I need a pillow, basketball, a hat, a tin and of course my jacket. 

I made a mannequin disguise as myself with pillow, tin as my neck, basketball as my head and most of all, a hat that will cover up my not so original face.

This will disguise as Bak! The most kick ass worker of the year!

Just hope that nobody will blow my cover at the end of the day so the original me do not need to come in office early in the morning. 

HR, such a pain in the ass. We already have a lot of issues regrading legal contract workers.

Updated: The next morning, Ah Lee was the one who found "me" sleeping on the table. Moving "me" to Ah Ni's work station, she tried to woke "me" up tapping the table. I almost laugh until my ass off when Naima told me the what happened when I'm not around. Well, we should do it together some other time.

 8tv. We are different, yet traditional. Crying out loud, we are not working in a bank and we certainly do not need a 9 to 5 job especially working in a production. 

Did another shooting for Christina and Kelvin's wedding, still haven't get used to my new speedlite. 50mm prime lens still my favorite lens to cover lots of moment of poetry. Although some of the picture might appear under expose for what I must control to maintain the sharpness of the picture rather than slowing down the shutter speed to get the exposure right but lost the sharpness of image. Overall the wedding event was pretty much simple yet effective. The only problem was shooting on a boat is not an easy task since I can only maneuver in a limited space. 

Well, I guess this is a very rare wedding occasion. Congratulations! Go make babies!

Saving Turtles

When it comes checking mailbox, I only do it once every 3 months since I start using online payment couple years back. I hate the feeling of opening up the mailbox which is full of crappy junk mails, bills that almost cause me a stroke, cheap looking loan shark flyers, etc. The equation of opening a mailbox is, owing people money. 

I don't know since when I start to join WWF. I have received a lot of newsletter for the past 8 months and I didn't even contribute anything to WWF since I do not have any beneficial treatment in return. Every time I received this kind of newsletter I will trash it immediately to the recycle bin in sealed condition. 

But not for today, I started to organize and clean up my room and check every single mail that have been sent to me after my six hours drive from my hometown to PJ. So far, I got my credit card, I got my utilities bills that need to pay off, I got my housemate phone bills. As usual, the WWF newslettersssss. Argh.. might as well unseal it and have a look what's inside the mail. And I discover something really familiar to me, I saw the image above after I flip over a few pages of the issue that have been sent to me. Woah, that is a screenshot of the capsules that I did for WWF 11 months ago. Great stuff indeed. 

Well, thanks for the 2000 sms that made me feel that I'm contributing something, the least I can do... Hope the RM10k will help conserve the marine turtles. Hatch hatch hatch!

Save the marine turtles, save the world! Ya Taaaaa!!!

三叉路口

决定？ 还有 2 个月时间，吊！

Ending credit 真的 End 了

是时候跟八八六十事的 Opening Sequence 说再见了。

往后的 Ending Credit 也不会再出现我的名字。

Backup backup backup!

刚发现很多我的作品，不是没 Backup，就是死在我的旧 Hardisk 里。

吊！ 很后悔没把它们 burn 出来。

总是找不出时间把自己的 website 弄好。

冤枉。。。
