LET"S THINK

I find this issue as some sort of  a 'brain twister'  .
I came across this on Atlas's fb account.

Personally I don't see the error of what's written in the dialogue balloons since there is a distinct difference between 'saksi' (witness) and 'bukti' (evidence).
 However, putting the two scenes side to side may mislead readers into having the wrong perception.

PICTURE PERFECT- Bunga bunga cintaku

A picture paints a thousand word.
Yes...ain't that right
but then again as with everything.... beauties only lies in the eyes of the beholder.
Is there any such thing as picture perfect?
Yes ... if there is such a state as perfect.

What you see will never be what I saw...

So many claimed to have a good eye for taking a good picture... but it is really a subjective decision.

That said... I smiled.
Because as with everyone else..... I too have those eyes.

These are my bunga bunga shots I took this morning before sending dad to the airport.

Awww...... maybe you don't think so but I find them pleasing to my eyes.

.... then again thats probably because my passion extend to plants and flowers as well.

or....... you're just not one of us with that  'good' eye :)

PEACE

COMMENTS

The human tongue is a great blessing and if used properly can be a means to attaining great benefits and heights.
To misuse the tongue ( or fingers for this matter)  for meaningless talk and to destroy virtues is a great loss indeed.

Most people jumped to conclusion with what they 'sees' with the eyes.
Very few stop to ponder and reason with the mind as to the whys.

There are many ways to unleash the discontentment ,disagreement and dissapointment of a spur of the moment's event.
However ...making up something which is far from the truth usually...
... takes the cake.
.
Contented and satisfied we are when we finally let our mind overule our eyes,head and heart.
But the truth of the matter is, we have forgotten to perceived the consequenses of that moment's feeling.

...the cake have been served!.

..... one of the four things that can never be undone

Which actually leads me back to the story of the woman and the feathers.

Sometimes it's best to 'sit' and think maturely of the next steps instead of just 'blabbering wildly to the next willing ear.
A good way to judge a person is by 'listening' to what comes out of her mouth..... or fingers

May we all be blessed with wisdom in our thoughts, words and deeds to act with skillful means to the challenges that comes into our lives.

"But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned." (Matthew 12:36-37)

BEAUTY IN TIME

Taking pictures is what photography is all about.

Capturing the beauty of the moments.

Taken specially for those special moments we want to cherish forever.

I have been taking photograps for as long as I can remember.
Actually it must have been when I first own a camera. Back in the early eighties.
Back then it was those cameras  using the  'hantu'  or flim .
With the 36 shots you get in one roll, it will be days before you're able to see what you have captured.
I'm saying that because , we don't 'waste' shots (12/24/36 was all you have).

With those lady's camera...most clicks would be just shots of occassions for remembrance.
Sending it to the kedai gambar would be a two day thing. It was such a 'jump' when they could develop them within an hour few years later. Now they even  have a ten minute service. Or better still you can....DIY

My passion for taking photos or vice versa has left me with uncountable 'moments' that passed through my life's journey.

My girls know I always walk around with a camera ...and not just the phone's camera in my bag.
...except for that one time we went to buy fish and there was this Justin Bieber's look alike...
Justin Bieber selling fish?...hahahaha
This would be a good example of the time you would say 'I wish I had my camera with me and I have taken a picture of him' ..just to let you see how much he does resemble Justin Bieber.  (I didn't look at his Supra shoes ...or was he just using salipar?)

I was weeding my bunga cempaka (I think) when I noticed that every pot was flowering.
Different range of pink colour.
I know I had a pot of white somewhere but it's missing now.
This was indeed another additional 'moment' to be sealed in pictures for all time and eternity.

. 

 camera in my bag

I use this camera because I wanted to have a smaller compact camera that would allow me to not carry the large  DSL (plus whatever lens and other gadgets applicable to the needs )when walking around town.
With this I would just use the normal lens except occationally I would opt for the fish eye view.
Andrew said 'itu tak main la'...
I can't blame him.  He puts so much passion into photography.
Anyone who sees him with all his 'equipments'  would guess that is what he does for a living.

Unlike him, I don't really have the time and patience editing my photographs after the take.
 So for now I'm satisfiy with using this camera for most of my shots.

 Unlike Andrew's Nikon..this Canon gets to 'sleep' often

When passion not in motion

NOT ....MY BEAUTY QUEENS

Ouch... I think I have 'pissed' off a few people outside there.
Beaty is one of them. She left me a comment which infact left me feeling a little uncomfortable.
This goes to show that there are still  people who would read whatever 'crap' I put down here.
I apologised for not telling 'the world' of her work so to say.
I understand any credits should be given when due.
So... thank you Beaty for letting me use your pictures.

Just to make things clearer, I have really no intention of using hers or anyone's beauty queen pictures for any purpose other than for my own personal collection.
I would have use the newspaper cuttings if I had know they would see it in a negative way.
Anyways....I really have no use for them other than for the purpose mentioned above.

 I kept these'treasure' on folders before there were files on computers......

photographs and cuttings dated way back to 1974

My cuttings and photos are not limited to local beauty queens only

As with all the pictures of beauty queens that I have in my collections, none of them are ever mine.
Meaning to say, none are personally taken by me.(except ones of my sister as unduk ngadau )

I have been collecting these 'scraps' of beauty queens ever since I was a teenager , a long time since a lot of you were even born. Throughout the years I have now lost count of how many to be exact.

I have limited  myself with the folders but still continue with the online files for now.
Everything is easier with just a 'click' as we all know.
Maybe I should have limited my collections to just worlwide queens.
Then again there are some really beautiful women amongs us locals :)

I used the word 'earned' because, I have seen thousands....it's 'a thousand to one chances' that I chose a picture I like to be tangled with the emotions in my writing :)
Thanks again!

NEW ADDITION

Today I received a new addition to the 'family'.
Baby Tay gave birth to one brown dapple female pup.
Yessssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!! ONE

I'm already up to my head thinking how to dwendle down the colony and yet these bitches (she and Sugar)  kept on adding them up.

For any breeder, Baby Tay would have been one good investment.
She has not missed any single 'heat' without bringing a new life into my life... ???
I had her for four years and with every year she gets into that  'heat'  mode twice.
Aaarrr...... she had had nineteen including this.
( 4 + 3 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 1 = 19)
Out of these  I had given away eleven  while eight are still remaining with me .
That's not including Sugar's... she had so far given birth to two surviving  pups.
Sugar is Baby Tay's daughter who is also Blink Blink's mom.

It's like a 'mad' house here when they all starts to bark at the same time.
Although the situation looks chaotic but  it won't be for long.
I'm just waiting for the 'right' people who can give them more love and attention than I could ever give,  to come along.

With difficulties in getting the females dogs neutered at both the private and goverment 's dept , I have decided to 'do' the male instead.
I have yet to get a booking date with the local vet.

                                  Being a single pup, she so much bigger .

Owwhh....they are so cute .Looking at one you wonder why not two or more?

But reality struck......nooooooooo!  one is good

TERESA OH TERESA..

Ouch....this song just seem to touch me at the right spot.
I'm posting it here because my neighbour Bernard is blasting it out so loud now.
I'm not complaining ...infact just enjoying it 'aloud'.

Yes... you just look at her and will  like her.
At least the people from 'my era'  did :)

With Teresa Ting, there don't seem to be any song she sung that I don't like.
She has this kind of  sweet vocal  (and face to match)  that I find soothing... full of goodness and... sadness actually.
Sadness was more associate to me with remembering that she was someone from the past.
She will always be remembered through her songs that still lingers and enjoyed by so many people around the world .

This song, 'the moon represents my heart'  was infact the first ever chinese song that I'm able to sing...hahaha
Practiced so much to get my mandarin 'right'.. and yet Yona still laugh at the way I pronounced the words.
