Cause and effect

I read a saying sometimes ago. "who you are today is a result/product a yesterday's actions."

I think this is a pretty accurate statement. If you are successful today, it means that you have put in a lot of effort yesterday or even the day before to ensure this day.

On the other hand, if you're unhappy about your current self/state today, it also means that you did/didn't do what was necessary to achieve a better you today. As a result, you're unhappy today.

So what does that means? Meaning that if you're not pleased with where you are today, do something about it to make it up for tomorrow.

Simple thing, e.g. your face has become oily, lots of pimples, what do you do? simple, you wash, rinse, scrub, apply pimple gel/treatment, and eat healthier. That's what I did. The pimples won't go away by themselves. Do something about it.

Unhappy about yourself today? Well, do something about it. Today.

Night street photography 2013

It has been really a long time since I went for street photography, last time I did it was years back with Calvin when I first bought my dslr. 

How time has passed, dslr was booming back then for a while and then it sort of died off. 

Seeing that I have a little bit of time in this small break, I just asked Calvin if he's interested to do this. Naturally, we're in and off we go. 

Parked the car at NWP and then head off around Hutton lane and made our way towards Komtar.

dark alley

one of the shop put this up, in conjunction with upcoming CNY

quiet alley, I kinda like this piece a lot

stumbled across this cat who was resting around the wall at the police station. Snapped a few shots of it,  was kinda playful, walked zig zagging across the fences and constantly looking at the lens

lonely sofa at night, probably occupied in the early hour

time to juice up... I totally didn't expect they would serve the drink in such big bottle

what would night photography complete without a little bit of light trails? red cos the traffic flows upwards from this shot, it's the vehicle's tail lights 

frontal shot, light trails... set the camera up at the pedestrian bridge

to end the event with, a nice and smooth egg tart and char siew pao

So there you go, I would like to do this at least once, while I still have the chance.

You know, with all the distractions in the world today, we tend to take things for granted. Rarely we would get off our lazy butt and go do something that we wanted. We would just think for a sec, then procrastinate, saying something like... "next time, I will... ".

Most often than not, that wouldn't happen. We would just wait and wait and wait until god knows when. I'm not perfect, at least in this past 2 years, I've learned not to take things for granted that much. Still learning, but keeping the important motto "life without regrets".

What about you? Go out and get something you wanted to do, done... now! :)

Plan B

It's just start of the year 2013 and I've been hit with something hard.
But guess what? Sun's still rising, life goes on. Just have to deal with it.

I'm not a person with lots of plans, but this time around, I happened to have 1. It's called Plan B.

Not that I wanted to do it, but come to think of it, why not? Circumstances changed. Is it gonna be good/bad? Nobody knows, I guess it's the same as a coin, there's always 2 sides to things. We'll find out once we take the path then. Like Steve used to stay, you cannot connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them, looking backwards.

Things happened for a reason.

2013 gonna shape up to be an excellent year ahead. Full.of.ChAnGeS.

Happy New Year!

Yes, it's that time of the year again, new year that is.

As I've mentioned I have no special new year resolutions, well I guess maybe these mottos :-
1) life without regrets
2) love myself even more (mind, body, soul)

This is going to be a year of change for me. Let's wait and see what's cooking shall we?

Have a good year ahead everyone!
