when is the storm over?

location : Pantai Bersih [Clean Beach]
date: 1st April 2009
time: 5:45pm - 7:10pm
lens: Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8

This series of photos had been taken on 7 months ago and was my second time to be there. Pantai Bersih is a nice place to relax because of her white sands, sea wind and Penang Island scene. From here, you can see Penang icon building like Komtar and other Penang high rise buildings. Some family like to have picnic here and also flying a kite. Some couples like to have romance walking on the beach and enjoying sea wind blow. Except for the rubbish scattering around & need to pay tol in order to get there, I think nothing else can be complained.

I still remember that day I was very excited when I first seeing sun ray breaking through the clouds. It was so beautiful and very nice composition view of sky, island & sea. Since that moment; my finger keep pressing shutter button to record spectacular scene. I was enjoying to capture every different phase of weather change and environment; love the sun ray, thick cloud, sound of strong wind and sea wave. However, photo shooting ended with the storm coming. Heavy rain forced me to pack & back home. Back on my mind I was thinking that this quick weather change actually similar to my real working life and asking myself when is the storm over?

p/s: I think not many peoples know that there is many small size crabs are active in the morning time.

Jing Si Aphorisms . 静思语（二）

Money does not necessarily bring happiness. A person with a clean conscience is at peace most.

Before criticizing others, consider whether we are perfect and without fault.

A person's happiness stem not from how much he owns but from how little he complains.

low tide

6th Oct 2009 6:00pm-7:30pm

As usual, I came to Pulau Aman jetty to capture 15 minutes beauty of the sunset. But this time I chosen to take sunset photo at the coastal area because of low tide. Yes, the reason I love to take sunset photo during low tide is the light reflection on the coastal land and this actually added some dramatic colors at the foreground.

To get there, I needed to walk for 10 minutes distance from the car park and also have to pass through ongoing construction area plus some uneven paths. Normally there is no people around the coastal area after 6pm. Thus, this is quite adventurous to go there alone and have to stay alert all the time. Nevertheless, it wouldn't stopped me from waiting for the short moment of the nature beauty.

hand sketch drawing

Raining and lazy day, I was looking through my photo archive database and suddenly saw this piece of photo. I still remember that this drawing was drawn when I was working in Singapore and I only used several hours to finish it. Hah..still can see the signature & date of drawing clearly at the left bottom corner...it was drawn during my birthday. I start realized that I never draw any big hand sketch drawing since 10 years ago.....

I had drawn this drawing when college time.

Do not think too highly of yourself, and yet, never underestimate your ability.

One should be afraid not of committing mistakes, but not correcting them. It's not difficult to correct mistakes.

Our greatest enemy is probably not others, but ourselves.
