It has been a month that i have “self meditation” within my four walls, most of the time beside getting food for my tummy just like taking medication and camera has caught up with molds. I couldnt find a reason for it. Been doing “researches” too at the moment of clear time. Looking hard to it to find the track back even i have preached so much.

2008, it’s indeed kind of not a very good year, be it personal or not. World? Recently, i believed that many of us have got the news about the the Cyclone that has strike Myanmar, it’s tragic. and recently the huge earthquake that strike at Sichuan, China. Have get in touch with some of my chinese friends there and they are doing their part too over at China, donating blood or in any form of help that they can do for the victims. Hope the rescuing teams for all will be able to save as many lives as possible.

As for us, lets do any single little bit that we can.

Photo Aid is an initiative by a group of volunteer photographers to help raise funds for the victims of Cyclone Nargis in Myanmar where they have done it for the Tsunami’s victims during 2005. All donations are 100% to the beneficiary.

Please do come down if you have time for a cause to help those unfortunate ones. Your little help will bring a rim of light for those needy, be it donation, volunteering or just spread this out to your friends.

Here some of the recaps during the 2005 fund raising.

The first meeting during 2005 where most of us first time met each other and many of the core members have become good friends till today.

The process of taking photos for the donor.

The shooting station, where everyone will try to get some shade under the super hot sun when there was any little break time to wait for the tourists.

It’s my blessing to know those bunch of kind hearted people and lucky managed to get some of them to share with me their dreams too during the break time……

Hope to see you there Lets hand in hand and give them our best blessing.

I am lost of time as currently and not really at the right state of mind. I am just like an 6 year old kid stepping into the school for the 1st day learning to adapt to the new phase of life. This is how i feel about this brand new year of 2008 even it’s already April now. Learning how to survive and being advice numerous of time that this is a reality world and must be realistic. Minority i am? Abnormal? How much do you willing to pay for your dreams or being yourself? The prices are high enough that you can imagine.

Things have just happened too sudden and it do not allow any reaction time. Everything seem just too good to be true and truth will peel you off apart. I am speechless of what i am trying to say. Basically, struggling with thoughts and miracle is all i need, everyone do hope for miracle even we know it’s doesn’t exist. Just like dreams that keep us alive. And as i have mention on the previous post about the job that Ken trying to the deal to bring me into China for a job. It been call off.

Here the updates from Chinese New Year till to date.

It really to catch up with my oversea buddies who have been taken good care of me when i am my China.

Ken, who have been in China building his career as a photographer

Des, who working in the creative industry at Shanghai now.

This is one of the 5 woman that has created an impact in my life, Mdm Ong, who is my form teacher during my secondary. This was taken when i am helping her on some charity stuff.

It’s packed and ready to go!

And the follow are some of my “models” who got the tees. Sorry that i couldn’t give to everyone as there is a limitation for me for doing that. It’s all self fund. And it also doesn’t mean that you are not appreciated if u don’t get the it.

After the existence of internet, the world seem like getting closer in some sense. And again, i am found on internet by a secondary school mate. And here some of dreams that i have collected during these period.

Michelle, 31. “Open a student care centre” She is the one who found me on net and i am glad about that as from this i manage to meet up with Jo.

Jo, 30. “Travel round the world”
