Movie: Chuck & Larry

Movie Length: N/A

Two guys, best friends, decided to become domestic partners in order to bypass the bureaucratic red tape preventing one of them from naming his own two children as his life insurance beneficiaries. It is where the story gets fun when those two were not gays and they are trying to hide that from the authorities. Since its illegal, they strived hard to become "gay partners" before they go to jail.

My verdict:
Its funny & interesting. If you wanna find a movie to havea laugh at for the weekend this would be for you.

Rating:7.5/10

Movie: Secret (Mandarin)

Movie length: 1 hour 37 minutes

This movie is directed by the young and talented Jay chow. As far as i can remember, this is his first time directing & acting in the movie. Its all about high school love. This girl, found a chord(pardon me if i said it wrong). What so special about it? It takes you to 20 years later. Believe it or not, the girl played the song and pff!!! she was 20 years in the future. Nobody could see her, except for Jay chow, her chosen one. Jay didnt knew that she was from 20 years back as she lookes just like any other students around him. They became couples for quite some time. I aint gonna spoil the ending:)

My verdict:
This is a great movie. The storyline is really something different from the others. Whats more? Its very touching!!! Its some sort like the movie "Crywolf". They will keep you questioned about why this why that and all the answers will be answered at the ending of the movie. Keeps you all in suspense. Watch it and you will love it.

Everything Around Me is Going Wrong

I don't know where to start. Everything I have been doing lately have been backfiring on me. Unexpected, unintentional, unpredictable, things happen to me. After school, My mum suddenly leaves me at school and calls me to wait for 2 hours before she can pick me up from school. I stroll about... directionless... I complain my frustrations to my buddy (and I mean really good buddy), all he did was kept quiet. I need some advice, some concern..... He start getting so hyped up over things... My buddy, imagine that, doesn't even understand what I am saying, starts saying that i blame him on things... Where have my interpretion skills gone to? Are my social skills deteriorating?My presence among my friends isn't felt...I don't feel like i am part of them...Am I a social outcast? Am I alone in this world? What is happening to me? I am so lonely, alone in the dark... I need some advice from the pros...i need someone to help me put the pieces back in place... help..

My own "Mini-studio"

Yes, you heard it right. I made my own mini studio for taking product shots. Szyap from Lowyat forum gave me this link and i was like, "SPOT ON!!" That was exactly what i needed as i could get those nice product shots i see taken by other people.

This one below is the one i made.

How long did it took me to make this thing? 30 minutes only!!! I bet those of you who have faster hands can finish it in 15 minutes.

So what are the results i get? Awsome ones!!!
These are some of the shots i took-
DSC_1122
I used my built-in flash... However, it took me quite some time to get to the right distance to ensure that the flash wasn't too harsh as it would make the shiny eages blown.

This shot, also the same settings as the above. The difference is that in this shot, i had to adjust the camera to the same level as the car to get different angle, thats why you see that the flash wasn't diffused properly.

DSC_1129
Hah! My favourite. I experimented a few shots using my handphone's LED to shine from the top, making it look like a spotlight. Cool huh?

DSC_1132
This shot, it gave me that 'oldies' feel. Yes i desaturated the color so that it looks more pale.

DSC_1140
Just another shot out of the blue. Maybe Stabilo should hire me as their photographer?

Ok guys, you see the results? Its no more those dull looknig shots which portrays how little effort you put in to take those lousy shots right? This only take 30 minutes or less of your time and you get amazing shots:)

Blogspot it is!!!

ok now, judging from the feedback i got from a few people(including goldfries), i was advised to get a domain... heck...I am still considering about it... ah well... let me stick with blogspot for the mean time... I may get my own Domain sometime next year...thats if i am active enough and if i have traffic coming in...
