hmm.. to make everything easy, u can just drop me a bag of money.. heh.. maybe around USD500k would do.. then, i'll do the shopping myself..

anyway, there's not much interesting events for me lately..

first, my cousin engagement.. hmm.. at first, i was intended to do some trial photo shoots to learn new skills for that kind of events.. as i'm still learning to shoot.. still have lots to learn.. i just did some point and shoot, trying out some of the advices that i learned from the internet, and try to capture the best moments from the event.. at the end of the day, i print out the pics and hand it over to my uncle.. my uncle n wife loves the pics that me n wife took.. hmm..
all of a sudden, everybody is taking my new hobby seriously and ask me n wife to cover for the wedding on April 2008.. and now, I'm in some kind of dilemma whether to take the job given to me or not.. some of the tormenting thoughts is about the skills.. do i have the correct skills to cover a wedding ceremony..?? what happens if i mess up..?? i would not ask them to reorganize the event all over again.. and then, the price factor.. do i have to charge my uncle..?? if i do, how much..?? *sigh*.. it cost me around RM8k to buy all the gears i have now.. and it does not includes the cost for printing n such.. how am i going to propose the price to my uncle politely..?? hmm.. i guess that's why people says that never involve family in your business.. or something like that..

2nd.. me furthering study.. i haven't registered myself for this new semester yet.. too busy with the job.. yeah right.. i'm kind of waiting for last semester results.. and i was just browsing the web portal for OUM, and suddenly, the results are already out.. i was a bit surprise seeing that i got B's for most subjects.. i thought i would failed the semester as i was just remembering without understanding the facts.. and all the 'tembak menembak' in the exam.. dont know whether i should rush to OUM or not to register myself for the January semester.. hmm..

3rd.. went to Sungai Chongkak last week.. did some shooting.. hmm.. not much to say, just visit my flickr page for the results.. can't upload much as my internet connection sucks this week..

4th.. my internet connection sucks.. heh.. been thinking of changing to other ISP (internet service provider), but my tormenting thoughts told me that it won't do much..!! tmnet is currently monopolizing the isp as all the other isp in malaysia is using tmnet line as their backbone.. i found out about this from someone in tmnet.. hmm.. all i can do is just crossing my fingers and praying to Allah that everything would go fine.. Insya Allah..
the problem was all the same from the previous situation.. my connection was crawling slow, and sometime it would just went dead.. i have called tmnet helpline to report about my problem, and still hoping for something good to happen..

hmm.. dont have much to write.. as everything are just the same.. my tormenting thoughts are prohibited by my laziness to write.. heh..

and dont forget all those things on my list.. hehe..

Awal Muharram..

hmm.. it's the new year again.. for Muslims around the world..
just wanna wish everyone, Happy New Year 2008 and 1429 H..
hope this year would bring more prosperity, healthy, peaceful life and all the positive value to everyone..
actually, the new year for Muslims starts @ the dusk.. so, it means, it's already 1429 H now in Malaysia.. i cant remember the actual doa' for the new year, but i still praying for a good new year for everybody..
Amin..
