Green

The colour of nature.
I find green to be a very beautiful colour.
Recently I found out that to Photoshop using a solid colour as the background to crop out the image, blue and red is just painful whereas green for one is soothing instead.

Everything happens for a reason. I guess that this even applies to the natural occurrence of colour. Most people do indeed see more green leaves on land rather than red blood or blue ocean. I do take green as a colour of happiness. Its beaut cannot be explained.
I know it's weird to post about something like this but what I realise about the colour green is just fascinating and wonderful for me. I have to share it.

My apologies for weirdness.

Tour de la one-small-part-of-PJ

I've been to PJ a few times and I have to say the more I explore the area of PJ, the more I love it~
The environment there is totally different. It's like the whole scheme to build a city has totally changed for the better. It's impressively different, eye-catching and indeed relaxing.
Though the roads are very bumpy (yes, the roads are screwed up), the sidewalk is really polished and I can assure you that it's even better than most parts of KL. The buildings are like Puchong's, upgraded and refined.

The other day's tour was to Kota Damansara.
Each time you take the highway, you'll pass by the Kota Damansara's Giant. It's so hard to miss.
The other day's tour was specifically to Aman Suria... looking for a supplier that is. Turned out to be a discovery tour too. Literally a discovery tour. Too bad I didn't bring my camera with me though.
 Yes, Murni Discovery.
 I've never been to Murni SS2 before XD Thought that this might give me an idea of how Murni SS2 would be. It's far different from what people told me about Murni SS2 though~

I'm just really loving PJ a lot~ Hope that I'll be there next time instead of weeping at some forever alone place. KL is too packed, other places are too secluded, PJ is just fine in my opinion~

Here's some bits of a song before I end, even though I don't usually do this

Ain't no mountain high enoughAin't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you babe

Thanks to Michael, Wei Wen and Eu Gene for going PJ~

Tour de le KL~

I never recalled walking that much in my life.

Wake up in the morning feeling like a zombie at about 7.15 AM, loitered around the house till about 8.20 before I got to the journey to the university LOL.
Reached the place we're supposed to meet up at 8.30 AM at 8.45 AM, yet I'm not the latest XD

Got to the bus station, waited a while and then the bus came and we went to Putrajaya Central, then on with Rapid KL to Pasar Seni. There are... so many wholesale shops there selling plushes and phone accessories all those stuff.

I'm not surprised much, the place was hectic!

Asking for prices around there and walked all the way to Times Square and then to Kenanga... During the journey, my friends said my face was red. Do I have high blood pressure, doesn't have enough exercise or just perspire too heavily? Weather problem? Then back from Kenanga to Times Square - but with a taxi. Hung a while and then gone back~

I'm surprised how people are surprised that I can walk that much. Yes, my leg problem is delaying the journey as I can't walk fast and please don't talk about running. I also found out that my legs can actually walk a long journey, but my hip is the one that causes all the problems.
Another is that my friends say I shuffle when I walk. Last time my friend did say that I walk like I'm dancing and now I'm shuffling...
That's two things added to my know-myself list. Mysteries still ensures though.

There's actually 3 achievements today. First time (and please be the last) to Pasar Seni, first time with public transports and also the first time not paying for public transport. LOL. Yeah, I just got up the bus like a boss.

Overall was a magnificent, memorable and hateful journey. Kenanga sucks, KLIA Express is nice and overall the journey was just awesome. A lot of memorable things and also chats in the journey itself. Me gusta!

Guess what - I got a new phrase
Everyday I'm shufflin'

Holidays coming to an end...

Yeah, holidays already ended by the time I post this. As I'm typing this, it's 11:55 PM, 5 minutes to Monday.

A short update here - what did I do during my holidays? My 3-week holiday

I did read a lot of articles (mainly tech anyway), posted a lot of things on Preppy Droid - even covering for Apple's recent keynote live till about 3.30 AM, wrote one (only one lol) new lyric. I do need to get on the chords. Without it I can't do anything. Lyric-writing is totally freestyle.

Read The Science Of Getting Rich - you probably knew if you visited :P
Not quite a reader here, I read things slow and steady to ensure that I do understand the sentences. Few pages and I'm already sleepy lol. I have to say, reading that book on my laptop is a pain in the ass.

Learned a little bit of Java for Android. Basically it's not much difference from Visual Basic. You design your layout, link it to the class then in each class, define each of the button in the design with specific actions. Interesting enough there's a thing called "manifest" which controls which launches first, how it is launched and so on. The Android ecosystem is so wide that you can write apps in Java or C++ with various APIs! The codes are still fuzzy to me. I only watched about 17 videos out of the total 200... Still grateful that I started to watch them.

Then I followed my sister out for a whole afternoon to learn more about photography. It was a great chance that I am glad and grateful to be able to follow. Got a lot of ideas on how to really take a great photo. Angles are very subjective, but the pretending part is really hard if you want to get a really good shot with a subject in it. Another things is to do whatever it takes to get a shot you want. Absolutely no fear. My sister and the photographer went in the stopped train, sat at the railing's side and went up a bridge connecting both sides of the station just to get a shot. Overall a very great experience indeed!

That's my holiday for 3 weeks. I think it's well spent.

And it's already 12.10 AM. Posting this and sleeeeeeeep. A great day to start a brand new semester ahead!

Science of getting rich

You don't have to be an atheist to be rich.
That was how the book's slogan went. I did read about The Secret, The Power and now this. Both of them are by Rhonda Bryne and she, the author, got her mind changed by reading The Science Of Getting Rich. Interesting...

Before that...

As what I always want to rant about, last year after my exam I laid out so many tasks to be done within the period of my 6 months holiday after SPM and before university. Turned out I did almost none. Regretted like mad. No matter what, the past can't be fixed and it makes me who I am today.

To be honest I'm not much of a reader and I kept this book for nearly a year now??? Soft copy by the way. This book goes on again like what *most* of the ideas are obtained by The Secret and The Power, though The Science Of Getting Rich elaborates more on dos and don'ts with some extensive notes and some good-to-know things.

The book is pretty short, 79 pages of A4 paper (if I'm not mistaken) and a pretty good read.

Such things are controversial, I know.

I did somehow learn that you can never fix someone, but you can sooth someone to take off some heat/burden/pressure/tide to let them fix themselves by advising or just simply listening to their problems.
Never attempt to fix them by forcing them to go your way~

Side note - I finally get to know where to use light/flash diffusing technique for photo taking. Very crucial indeed, especially when you only have one flash source.

Have a look below!

Left - You are neeeeeeon
Middle - You smell extremely nice
Right - You're the original
Really gotta work on my photography skills these days סּ_סּ <--- Highlight to see the face~

Till next time!

Holidays coming to an end~

Semester break and I have 3 weeks break. Now I only have about 4 days left. I'm actually looking forward to the next semester to be honest, I'm just bored these days during the break. What can I say... Ipoh is boring. Got into learning Java a little for Android programming with 200 videos for tutorials. Interesting yet frustrating because I've yet to master it. Love it though.

Bought another Android figurine, this time it's the vanilla cupcake. Specifically bought this because of the smell! It makes me high on drugs.
Just smells SO nice!
Really got into instrumental music, remixes and even classical. A song by Luciano Michelini called Frolic is soothing yet catchy. Love it!

Holidays are really bored and I did write another song... this time it's about how people tend to search for a group that they are meant for, but the journey is pointless because the answer is right in front of us all the time.


Then I realise that every song I wrote is more from my personal life experiences and my philosophy. Interesting way to learn about myself because I wrote what I was thinking but without my knowing. And they all don't have a title name.

I did wrote more than 2 though, just don't really want to post it here.
To be honest I never cared about what people think about it or how people will react to it. I just wrote and did what I feel like doing.
Haters gonna hate, but I'm not giving the slightest care.
And I'm getting a hang of this new Blogger layout!

Till next time!
