It has been quite a while since the last shooting session with the guys. So before they strike me off from their list of invites and banish me from the group for eternity, I've decided to join them (Kong, TC, Joo) when they extended their invite to me last weekend.

It was an awfully sunny and clear day (oxymoron ftw) to begin with. Not a single cloud the entire morning. A perfect day for shooting.

In short, it was more of a blah-blah chit-chat session for me (prob not so for the others). Didn't end up taking much photos, or rather, the photos were not worth posting. But it was good fun. Looking forward to the next outing.

Here's Looking at you (pic #0009)

Damn, I've been neglecting this blog for ages YET AGAIN. Hahah, never again will I make any commitments in the future with regards to regular updates!

This blog needs more pics! Nice, happy pics! The last few posts were all about doom and gloom here in Bolehland (Malaysia). Not that things are any better now, but to lighten the mood a little, here's one of my girlfriend that was taken during my last trip down to KL.

Love the colour of the skin and the overall shot. Portrait shots are something that I've always wanted to learn and to improve on. Still not quite the standard of many other good portraits but I think this is a good start.

A nation in distress

3 arrested under the draconian ISA. A dying regime's desperate act to show that they're still in power. Hoping to incite racial riots just before September 16th? How pathetic.

We can see through all of that. Your acts can be read like an open book.

Operasi Lalang ver2.0? Hope it isn't so.

My prayers and thoughts are with the 3 detainees. God Bless you all.

As tense as the situation is, stay calm and don't let the BN idiots provoke you. This would be the best advise for the current situation.

We made it to the front pages again.

And for all the wrong reasons.

There you go, the stupidity of this nation's ruling coalition laid bare for all to see.

fecking clowns

The circus is back in town again! Hurry! Get your tickets!

Clowns in KL are barking about Anwar sodomizing an aide or something. A 60yr old with a back problem over-powering and sodomizing a healthy 23yr old.

And they expect people to believe them. The moon is made of cheese. Losers.

So, they want to bring Anwar down. Accuse him of something else for pete's sake, this sodomy thing is getting very stale. You've used it once, and it failed. Terribly. Miserably. Clowns will never learn from mistakes.

This news been reported on both BBC and CNN's front page. What an embarrassment. Stupidity and incompetency are the only traits that this administration is projecting to the world. I guess the Bush administration is not alone anymore.

And what's with all the sudden fervor in the investigations? I didn't see any of it when RPK issued a sworn statement claiming DPM's involvement in the on-going Altantuya murder case. In fact, I don't recall any formal investigation being opened.

If this farce doesn't scream government conspiracy to you, I don't know what will.
