今天让我说说工作吧。
近日多与名人接触，各式各样，有的是大明星，走在街上会有人追着要签名那种；有的则是稍有名气，人家会认得却不会想要签名；还有的，是自以为是的贱坯。
好啦，你大概猜到我想说什么了吧？是的，我想说的就是“贱坯，如果不是因为工作关系，我才懒得理你！”
真正的大明星知道一切只是工作，他们或许不会特别热情或客气，但也不会自以为是的摆架子，拖时间。Yes or No，瞬间结束，大快人心。被他们爽快地说No，只会让我反省是不是案子不够好，噱头不够引人注目。 他们的No，是我不断努力的动力。
小明星知道自己需要支持提升人气。彼此相敬如宾，工作愉快之余，甚至成为好朋友。他们还会给足120%的表现。看着他们迈向大明星的过程，我常会觉得自己的工作有意思。
贱坯呢？算了，下午6点以后，我一点也不想见到你们。
×××
上个礼拜，有人问我：“干你这一行，会不会分不清楚自己何时在工作，何时在真诚地交朋友？”
其他人我不知道，我自己很简单。
我本性不善交际，社交与我沾不上边。卸下工作身份，第一次与陌生人见面我会害羞（呕），尤其是对着同年或年长者。偶尔会动作小小地说冷笑话，扮鬼扮马。所以啊，如果你在怀疑我是不是把你当工作案子，就想想你对我的第一印象，还有熟悉了以后是什么感觉。
如果你说根本就货不对版！陌生时是君子，熟悉时是痞子。
恭喜，你不是我的assignment。本人就是有那么一点雾里看花的美（呕呕呕）。
Having said that，我不担保会准。（PR人喜欢说having said that，因为喜欢留后路）

MINI X LOMO
The films for MINI Lomography shoot done in Putrajaya is finally out! Yeay~
...
Ok, I lied, I got them about a week ago and procrastinated until now to post it up. So may I humbly present to you five of my favourite shots!
For this shoot, I used Konica Chrome Slides, courtesy of Alarm (Practical birthday gifts! Awesome~).
To be honest, I think the colour is great, but really difficult to use. As you can see, the result is grainy even though it was a bright sunny day.
Gasp, Fisheye 2 is so damn cool. It made me broke, it makes me happy :)
If you drive a MINI, you can park anywhere.
Or you can park decently, and show the car behind he needs to retake his parking test.
Aiya, I mean his or her driving test, I shouldn't be a sexist.
There are some more pictures here.
Alarm posted his work in Lomography Asia forum and was selected as the Lomohome of the Week. WAH~
I don't think he will mind. This is the winning pix:

可乐
错误示范：
这几天，网络生病了。（就是很慢的意思）
虽然没舍重要事，但我还是很郁闷。（想说没得上网，很无聊）
把味觉托付给黑色的有汽甜酱， (很无聊，所以喝可乐）
享受胀气打嗝的起承转合。（喝了可乐，然后打嗝）
今晚，我只是抿着鼻涕的小男孩。（喝可乐让我快乐得像小孩子一样）
p/s: 写完了觉得整段很no point，请大家多多包涵。

The Fisheye View of Sandakan
In my line of work, one is blessed with opportunity to visit places where under any normal circumstances wouldn’t have the chance to. But what is normal anyway? Visiting Sandakan might be ‘out of place’ for me, but for scores of others, it could be part of their annual, monthly or even weekly ‘balik kampung’ ritual.
Anyway, I was on a trip to Sandakan with Kenny Sia and Gareth (Shaolin Tiger) last weekend for the launch of MAS Kuala Lumpur-Sandakan direct flight. We visited the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre and spent a day on the Kinabatangan River bank.
Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre
River folk in Kinabatangan River.
So during the trip, I brought along my new FishEye2. This funky looking thing was my birthday gift bought a week ago, by guess who, myself. Retail therapy (Thanks Geeps) is effective and inevitable since I worked on top of the most popular mall in Malaysia. For those unfamiliar with lomocam, this baby runs on film.
Armed with a roll of ISO 400 film, I happily embraced the number one lomography philosophy- don’t think just shoot. It wasn’t easy, transitioning from SLR (yes without the D) to this toy like snap-shot device. I can’t zoom, can’t do focusing, even the shutter sounded surreal to me. Everything needs to be guesstimated- lighting, distance, framing... I have no choice but to just. let. go.
The result?
Fisheye guide book says, this is the way gold fish and lomographers see and live life.
To which Kelvin Lim said: “Does that mean you live with five seconds memory?”
I agree with both. Whole-heartedly.
P/S: Yay, MAS posted it in their blog!

My Five Days MINI Birthday Celebration
Last Friday, 20 March was my birthday. Celebration-wise, nothing special really, spent the night with Alarm, Timo and Pris eating steamboat in Klang and Thye joined us for mamak later.
But March is a magical month. For work purpose, I was given a red with white top MINI Cooper for the weekend. The task was to lomograph the MINI in Putrajaya on Saturday, in conjunction with Malaysia first Hot Air Balloon Competition.
So obviously on Friday night, we went steamboat with the MINI. Ha ha.
For the task and to reward myself, on Saturday before the shoot in Putrajaya, I bought the Fisheye 2 Chrome edition in Mooks, the Gardens :D
The shoot in Putrajaya will be covered in another post. There was too much to tell.
At night, I went to the Negative Effect Promo Video Screening at NZX.
Watch it in HQ! Or visit the Facebook page, somehow it loads faster there.
The instant cam shown during the first minute was exactly the Lo-Fi one I used in Taipei, you can even spot me ‘begging’ for it in the video. LOL. I have a total of 2 seconds screen time without dialogue.
On Sunday, met up with a few lomographers in IKEA again and did a few more shoots in Shah Alam with the MINI. At night, Nico, Fuzz, Zoe and I hung out at Changkat Bukit Bintang to celebrate Zoe and my birthday.
The waitress gave us massage voucher worth RM200! Yippee~
My birthday wish? Learn how to enjoy my work, and plan it to be enjoyable. LOL.
On Monday, I returned the car to Cyberjaya and while on my way back to office, my Proton Saga's tyre was ripped off, literally. I have no idea how it happened, and how I survived it without crashing or skidding my car. As I stepped down from the car, a MEX's patrol truck pulled over and changed the tyre for me. Some luck I had.
The story didn’t end on Monday after I returned the car. More precious MINI experience ahead and that will be blogged separately too~

学画画
最近的周末都过得很宅，不外是看书看戏看电视。尤其是DVD，一个周末可以窝在床上看5片，然后晚上再去泡电影院。书也消化得很快。台湾买回来的九把刀，爱玉冰送的Black Swan Green，自己买的Beedle The Bard。
就只是部落格写得不够勤快。哈哈。别怪我啦，难道要我写今天九把刀读到第几页这种这么低能的题材吗？
九把刀和Black Swan Green无独有偶，题材皆环绕着成长时的故事。经常会挑起我小时候的记忆。
我七岁那年，记得有一天妈妈天还没亮就叫我起身。妈妈说要送我去学画画。哇，学画画，我要当画家了，好兴奋哦！忘了是搭巴士还是爸爸载，总之我背着书包，拿着画纸出现在教师办公室。
七岁时我才刚上一年级。下午班。一大早八点不到出现在教师办公室是很奇怪的事。因为那天根本就没有画画班（这是长大以后才发现的，画画班是星期六的课外活动）。
怎么办？总不能让我独个儿在校园闲晃。我才七岁也！
我被带到了一间很小很小的课室。课室很暗，只有从窗外照射进来的阳光。一名女老师给了我一张图让我跟着画。苯苯的我很听话地照做。我很努力地画。画啊画啊画啊。
我的小脑袋在想：“怎么只有我一个？这一定是特别画画班！哇，老师一定觉得我很厉害！”
老师看我那么乖，不会乱跑乱叫，就去给其他同学上课了。她后来成为我五年级时的英文老师，可惜没问他认不认得我。
我很笨地从八点画到十二点。间中老师会来看看我。我会很兴奋地让她看我的杰作。十二点时，下午班的同学陆续来上学，我被带到食堂去归队，结束疯狂的四小时画画。
那天上课时我还向隔壁的炫耀我今早上特别画画班呢！
后来一段很长的时间我都不明白那天到底是怎么一回事。因为之后的画画班有很多人，我也持续学到三年级。
而且现在想起来，那间很小很小的课室好像是贩卖部。

09 新年，我在台北
今天翘班啰！
在家翻开一叠叠中学时期的照片。那时候的我们没有数码相机。照相都是一个人先拍着，冲洗好以后每张逐一贴上号码，然后再传到各人的手里写下自己要的，付费，等待。 最后再仔细用纸条绑好，写上名字，才带回学校派发。
通常都是女生负责。
恕我不能公开这些照片，因为中学时期的我是丑到一个程度。真是好奇怪，其他人怎么会那么漂亮，可爱，帅气，我却。。。
言归正传，有了数码相机，我们先是，
“Burn一个CD给我”或“E-mail给我”
慢慢变成 ，
“Copy进我的Thumbdrive”
时下则是，
“Facebook记得Tag我”
我是个很奇怪的人。我喜欢新景象，新科技，新口味。新年去台北的时候，祥威，青青，雪儿就见识到我“什么都要试却只吃一半”的陋习。但我也很念旧，我会独个儿去Berkeley久家附近的mamak档坐下来吃很简单的一餐。尤其是以前A1补习以后，会逼祥威陪我走路去打包一个roti telur，一包teh ais和一块炸鸡胸那间。我无敌喜欢那一间。
这种看似复杂，其实很简单的人格让我喜欢照片握在手里的感觉，也喜欢放上Facebook。
这次的旅游依然是采用我最爱的相底去捕捉台北的律动。以下选出了我最满意的几张。哦，在这之前，我blog header大大一张是西门町6号出口，祥威说它算是台北路标之一所以我才放上去的，哈～
九份
警察专用的绵羊
台北的捷运很赞！
早晨，西门町没人。
真的一个人都没有。
台北市，新光三越附近。
士林
又是6号出口。
台北市。
台北101前的街道，那天很冷。
台北车站。
西门町，晚上。
九份老屋。
西门町，下午。
自由广场。
他在等人，我在照相。我们一起晃了1个小时。
除了双眼，我也尝试用嗅觉和味觉去记录这个城市。至今还印象深刻的就是奶茶。我很喜欢台北的奶茶，浓浓的奶香和不太一样的锡兰红茶～
街边小食如一口香肠，炸花枝（花枝=墨鱼），炸软壳蟹都很不错。一般来说都是咸咸甜甜的鲜味及酥酥的口感。咦？怎么变成food blogger了？哈哈。卤肉饭是台湾的民食，吃一口能让你感觉到什么是简单却五味杂呈，是一种很华人味道的食物。
台北还有很多中西合璧的美食如蛋饼，汉堡，三文治，美式咖啡，甜甜圈，以及道地的如阿给（类似酿豆腐包裹着的冬粉），鸭血糕，蠔仔面线，蠔仔煎和臭臭锅。喜欢不则见仁见智啦。
下一站，香港？东京？
