Once, I came across this sentence, "If you see something that moves you, and then snap it, you keep a moment".

Pretty much inspired me into what I'm doing here though. To snap some moments that I'd spare time remembering in future. Imagine a world without photography! One can only imagine. and every single moments we used to had, fade away. No more evidence to show, no more things to keep on remembering. A photograph is a memory in raw, they say.

So here I am, a newbie camera user, who never hesitate to be inspired by every paused moments of life.

Love Life =)

I've got sunshine on a cloudy day

100_4686

one morning. I woke up.
I feel sunshine on my face.
I smile at the mirror, thinking what should I be today,
Excited, or Thrilled?

and when I'm calling it a day,
I would lie on my bed
and look out to the stars in the sky.
It feels ridiculous to say I am looking at the light a zillion light years ago

but this is the stars.

They have traveled light years to reach here, and is still traveling.
With this, I smile every night of mine to sleep.
I know I will do good. and for now, I only want to Dream Big.

and tomorrow, I shall kick start, with a full big cup of HOT MILK.

How could I not love my life when it is such lovable?
so, LOVE LIFE. =)

Lights will inspire you

100_5670

Latest Obsession: Light Graffiti.

Somehow, I find myself still living passionately.
but, it lack a bit of...MADNESS.
I love to be surprised by all those lights.
and I double-love sharing all of them.

Maybe I'm getting older, a lot of things changed.
My pictures used to be noisy ones.
where I have a story for every photo.
and now, I still have a lot of story, but are all in one photo.
And, I've chose to remain silent.

I'm just tired of telling stories.
the pictures will show the condition, and the emotions?
I'll have them sealed.

谈文化

new

所谓文化就是翻译间流失的东西!
-方文山 《方道 文山流》

我不是一个热衷于文化的人,
但至少我还是希望我们的文化可以渊远流长
不然,就从包粽子开始学起吧?
屈原的骨头可能都化了,
但故事还在传承
历史还在演变
粽子,更是不停的推陈出新

我们流失了什么?
文化吗?还是了解所有文化的动力?

Out of her Life.

From Out of her Life.

She decided to run away and have some fun.
For life has been holding her behind, and she need to breath.
Just a little while, when she forgot even her own name.

We all sneak away when we're stuck in between.
Because sneaking out feels so good.
The wind touches our face, brought up our emotions.

If only running away once in a while makes us feel ever better, why not?
BE NICE, to yourself, which we all have the right so.

Lurve


L.O.V.E - Nat King Cole
L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore and

Love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart and please don't break it
Love was made for me and you

(trumpet instrumental)

L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore

Love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart and please don't break it
Love was made for me and you
Love was made for me and you
Love was made for me and you



=)

The reminisce.

100_4351

We all left our toys behind.
Somewhere along our memory lane.
Those days were colourful, we used to enjoy every lil bit of the sunshine.
Chasing around on the field, Making stories with the shadows,
Wondering about the future, Acting like the adults.

As we go on and on, new things, new people came in.
I left all my toys behind and grabbed all those new stuffs excitedly.
I've forgotten what was it feel like to sunbath and run around.
All I ever care is whether the air cond function as it should be.

I've forgotten all of the toys I used to have, as I constantly buy new ones.
I left them and moved on all alone. I used to thought I'd be with them forever.
and I thought I can play with the slide as long as I want when I eventually grow up, for I feel really sad when my mum nag me home when I was having fun.

Nothing of my childhood stayed until now. I've abandoned them, along my path here.
and now, I think I'm regretting very much of it.
I want more and more out of this nasty life.
Until the day I found that I can never get everything I wanted,
I started regretting for not appreciating what I used to had.

We all do right? Keep regretting, and that's the thing that hold us back.
The reminisce.

Sat there throughout the day, trying hard to figure out bout a lil bit of the past.
If we had it figured, we smile.
If we don't, we still smile, but a bitter one instead.

Believing my beliefs.

100_3510

I was told to pray since I was very young.
I always prayed for my studies, my future.

As I lit up the candle, I say to God, please give me a good life.
As I put in the joss stick, I wish hardly that my prayers would be answered.

Because there's no more hope in me, so I put all those hopes onto prayers.
Its not about being heard or whatsoever,not at all! Its about believing.
Believe in what you believe in.
Its hard to keep on believing something that nobody else understand.
Hold on to it. Sun will shine on you one day.
Life will turn to you and smile.
Stars will blink at you.
Love, will come to you.

Now, light a candle up, and make your prayer.
It could be a stupid act, but in this miserable life we live in, we need to have something to lean our hope on.
No matter how ridiculous it sounds, keep holding on is one type of strength.

I believe in happy. Because I'm happier doing so.
smile.

Yea, only 20 like me. But I've met the best things I don't even dare to dream of.
What else can I say? LOVE LIFE!

Statue

100_3872

For some people, they just couldn't cry, no matter how hard they try.
Seeing others crying out their emotions, it seems very relieving.
Having everything hidden deep in heart is never good, it is suffocating.
and this man, is one of the un-cry-able.

He was told that those who cry, can see rainbow from the refraction of lights through tears.
Some even told him that those who cry, see their way more clearly after a thorough crying.
All those wonder words used to describe crying made him curious.

Maybe it's not totally true, or maybe it really does.
Either one to him, makes no difference at all. Because he can try neither.
The only thing he can do is to imagine. and sometimes, he'd rather believe those wonder words.

After all, being a statue is really boring. He need something to waste time on.

我们,聊聊天

100_4048

在不同的城市努力 偶尔也会想想你
  这样的我 那样的你 要很久才相聚

  我们都没说那遥远的曾经 我们也没提故事的原因
  青春的复刻回忆像一片云 没法子抓在手里?
  我们的眼泪在复习着过去 我们的微笑是彼此的氧气
  复刻的回忆是封挂号信 多远都可以找到你

  午后的闷热的窗外的一场大雨
  让我们看见了以前的自己
  把时光倒转回那一季 那年的梦 他乡的你
--- 复刻回忆,by 方大同&薛凯琪

很想要为那一次的旅行留下点什么,
所以跑去种了一朵玫瑰,在很显眼的地方,自我提醒着
而现在玫瑰的叶子和花瓣渐渐地淡了
而那一段时间的回忆,也剩下模糊的几个场景
也许照片还在,但我们都走远了。光阴其实一直都在,反倒是我们在飞逝。
当每个人问起我这一朵花,我会笑着说是和朋友的一时冲动,毕竟年轻嘛,还是不要想太多的好。

你还好吗 好久不见
又来这里 这个老店
后来的你 喜欢了谁
我们 聊聊天

Spare me some time and listen, would you?

Hidden

Would you give me a cup of coffee's time, to listen to my stories?
For time goes by, I'm afraid I might be forgotten.
My friend swore she will never ever forget me,
but the day we walk pass each other being perfect stranger,
I stood and turned back, so did her.

BUT we were too awkward to greet.
We nodded our head and left, I'm not even sure if she smiled.

There goes our 3 1/2 year friendships.
Every moments we had, are now in vain.
Leaving us behind, unbearable-ly.

We could have try harder, hard like trying to greet at least?

8.30pm Saturday 27th March 2010 (local time)

  • Have a family gathering by the candle lights and have a good talk with your family.
  • Cook your He/She a meal, and have a romantic candle light dinner.
  • Hang out with friends to some nature places like beach, and recap all those memories you had.
  • Think what you've done recently which is good to our mother earth. If possible, list out TEN at least.
  • Tell out a SECRET of you that you feel suffocating to continue keeping to your trusted. When lights go out, everything is too dark to be seen, so do your awkwardness.
  • Think what you will do to help conserving our earth.
  • ........
This Earth Hour campaign is an act to raise awareness, please be sure you did fulfill the main purpose.

The unseen

Lights will inspire me

Would you ever see something like this with your naked eyes?
Probably, when you're not in spec and suffer serious astigmatism.

The scene was actually a normal night scene.
With closed shop-lot and some street lights.
But it did turn out pretty nicely, isn't it?

When we think we lead a dull yet boring life,
maybe we should stop and see our life with a different angle,
An angle where every star shines and everyone smile.
Its way much better than what we thought.

For camera showed us what we missed out in our daily life,
lets have a TOAST, FOR PHOTOGRAPHY.

The light means a lot

Light will inspire me

Leave a light lighten.
For those who are late have the feel of going back home.

Its good to have people waiting for you at night when you're home.
Someone to open the door for you,
and maybe nag you a bit for being too late.

But what we know, is that those who nag, care.

They love us the way they're being loved.
maybe its unacceptable to us, maybe its just not our style,
but if the actual means are the same,
why don't we just accept it whole-heartedly?

There shouldn't be different between "I love you" and "我爱你".
Just an adjust from your point of view will do.

Next time, when you reach home after a long day,
tiredly feeling towards your life,
take a look at the lights that await you at your house,
and remind yourself what did you work so hard for?

Its always them, your lovely family.

=)

somewhere high up?

somewhere high up

Skyscrapers are filling up our sights.

When we were still very young,
we can see a BIG BIG BLUE CLEAR sky.
That's why we're keen in exploring.
We wonder if there's an end for the seemingly unlimited sky.

Now, the buildings draw the line.
We seldom see a clear sky anymore..

Have birds ever wonder why their used to be BIG CLEAR sky is getting more and more complicated?
They used to be flying however they wanted,
but they now have to avoid planes, buildings, "terrorist actions", and even bungee jumpers?!!

As we grow, we wanted more.
Sky is no more limit, its a standard.
If you achieve it, you go outer space to achieve more,
if you fail, than work harder to achieve it.

This nasty life we live in, its all about chasing behind something we want.

to build

building home, and dream

This is not Bob the builder.
Life is never as easy as what we saw in cartoons.

Kids watch cartoons as they grow.
This might be good, or bad.

Letting them believe this world we living, is a colourful one.
Letting them grow thinking there're superheroes to save the world at all times.
Letting them keep beautiful imaginations and expectations towards their future lives.

But as they grow, (like us)
They started learning REALITY.
Those who thought they live in a peaceful world started studying "war".
Those who believed in superheroes stories started learning "bribes"
Those who imagine for a good life started accepting "facts"

I used to say adults wreck children's wonderland.
Now I want to complete it,
Adults build a wonderland for children, to destroy it in front of their eye.
They say this is so to let them GROW.
Its mean, isn't it? But they say reality is mean too.
Well, what can I say? I'm getting to be one of them, I think.

The strangers opposite

100_3448

For all our life,
how many time did we spent on waiting for instructions?

We stand at the different end, looking at each other.
waiting for the permission to cross.

Its red, so stop.
Its green, so go.
Its going to be red, so walk faster.
Its going to be green, so get ready.

There's a lot of similarities between each and everyone of us,
for we live on the same beautiful planet.

and in this case, WE WAITED for the same instruction.
for you to come to my place, and for me to go to yours.
See, now we're still at the opposite side of each other.

What does this life give us?
A lot of unexplainable incidents, if only you did observe.

what above us

sliced sun

The sun slice right through the layers of clouds,
and reached my camera lens.

Like everyone,
I get excited when I have an off-day out of my ordinary life.

Our ordinary life seldom offer us chances to look at the sun properly
Never ever.
We might be in offices, trying to squeeze something of our boss favour
We might be in classes, trying to squeeze something of our lecturer favour

We might be in anywhere, busying something,
too busy that we forgot about the sun ahead of us, ALL THIS WHILE.

During those golden good-old-days of ours,
we were all so excited to get out of the house and have fun...
Fun as in running around like freak, enjoying.

But now, we'd rather stay indoor.
Saying NO to outdoors.
We say its hot. its damn hot. its damn freakin hot.

Could it be just that we're not daring enough to face the fact that we lose the courage,
to run bare-footly like we've done years ago?
to run through our dreams and shout it out to the world?

Could it be that we're too chicken to face the truth that we're all "formal" people now,
that we can never ever, find the simplicity in happiness which we used to have?
that we're the so-called grown-up type of people and we're NOT SUPPOSED to be free and easy as we were?

When was the last time you go out, merely for a bath in sunshine?
When was the last time you let the sun to hug you and warm you?
When was the last time you have a lullaby from the wind and dream a little dream?

Mine? owh, that was ages ago.....
Probably when I was still a little dreamy-type of kid?
A kid that doesn't know the word, "REALITY"
or, should I say, YET to know.

That fine afternoon,
I said my prayers, hoping it would be heard,
and left.

Earning a Living.

2!!

Everyday in life, we were busy earning a living.
After a day of work to earn, we were too tired to live what we've earned.
We believed that as long as we continue walking that path,
we will eventually reach a place which we believed to be wonderful.

I asked my dad if he feel tired of life sometimes?
He said he does.

But I still see him waking up when I'm still sleeping sweetly,
Heading to his working stations.

But I still hear him asking me whether I need any extra money,
for anything that I might by any chance be short of.

But I still feel him trying hard to give us the best of life,
trying all his might for my quietly fantastic life.

Maybe the only thing he ever wanted from me,
is to live a better life than his,
a life not having to worry too much on money.
a life not being too apart from family

Being restrained

100_3222

Rules, Regulations, Terms, Conditions.
We were always restrained.
There's a lot of written and implied rules trying to hold us back from being mad.

But I thought its okay to be mad.
I'd say Mad means believing DEEPLY in something.

The world we're living in right now,
can never accept a freak.
But a freak never cared.
He just pulled off all those tube-like stuffs on his body,

and ran away.

A freak is a freak because he doesn't give a damn at the reality.
He can always create his own world.

Do you know what they say?
"All those great people, were all scolded as a complete freak at the very beginning of their life!"

The old story

100_3348

There's a voice far up the mountain.
Screaming.
Every days, and nights.
But nobody ever heard it.
It was a weird voice, calling for someone.

However, a young boy overheard that voice.
He tried asking everyone and everyone thought he was mad.
His parents told him not to say nonsense.
His teachers sent him to the counselling.
His friends....oh, he has got no friend at all.

One morning before dawn, he was by the window.
looking into the dark dark sky....there were stars blinking.
Wind whispered some funny tunes into his ear.
He thought he has gone mad again,
Than he heard that far far away voice again...

A very weak voice. calling for.......someone.

He looked at the blinking stars and the silent moon.
Stood up. Packed. Kiss Goodbye with his sleeping parents.
He went for that voice. He wanted some proof.
Some proof of him not mad.

Nobody ever heard from that little boy.
They said he was kidnapped and some even mention murdered.
The parents gave up. The existence of that boy faded.
Fading quietly.....until no-one ever know there was a boy like him.

Years later, one old lady was staring at a picture of his long lost son,
and out of sudden, she heard this strange voice.
from high up of the mountain,
how desolating, how gloomy......

she felt something on her cheek.
she wiped it, and wiped it again....repeating.

"Oh, she started crying again!"
Her neighbours whisper to each other.

What's the feeling of losing something you use your life to love?
E.M.P.T.Y.











Stop and Wonder

100_2713

Time tickles away while we were"doing nothing".
In the middle of miserable life,
sometimes we will just PAUSE, and got lost in our thought.
Someone preferred to say "daydreaming",
but I preferred saying "getting lost in my own fantasy".

This is a world of REALITY, and reality is always opposing fantasy.
Being real is a way to survive, but being real could end up losing one's own-self.

When you decided to walk into the crowd and leave your wonderland behind in your memory,
you sometimes even forget to kiss your toys goodbye,
So we sometimes stop and wonder,
what had we lost in our supposedly-fantastic life?

maybe, just a little recap of memory will do.

and as we wonder, time tickles away.
Until you're awake again, you have to rush for the time you've wasted on "getting lost in our own fantasy"

still waiting, missing, Loving

100_3221

Staying by the shore.
Waiting for a long lost love.

Spending a whole afternoon,
missing a long lost love.

Living all my life alone,
missing someone who sailed out and never come back.

At the very end, I was asked,
"do you still think all your time, waits, misses worth whatever it is supposed to?"

I smiled and close my eyes.
I'm glad I smiled.

Because they never get to know,
How did you hold my hands and promised me you'd be back, for me.
How did you come to me in every of my dreams and kissed me softly.
I LOVE YOU.
and because I LOVE YOU,
I never feel your lost.

You're always there,
to the left of my body,
where my heart lies.

As it constantly bouncing, I never stopped loving you for even a second.

Leave-Leaving-Left-Left

100_3196

Things stayed still that afternoon.
No tears were shed with the fact that i'm leaving.
They were in a stopped position, perhaps a "waiting" position.
Sun was constantly beating.
My tears evaporated before it had the chance to flow out.
I stared at the sky, made a little wish, and smile.

As I leave, I left behind some emotions.


I hate saying goodbye,
that means we don't know when is the next time we'll see each other again,
because if we did, we would have said "see you next time" instead.

Why Frame It All Up?

frame it all up

so this is it.
Its gonna be all about me and my camera.
My definition for photography now:
Photography is about freezing up the moment and thus, made the story, UNFORGETTABLE.
I'm still exploring the BIG BIG world of photography, which mean my this definition is still subject to change. =)

Frame It All Up is my personal desire towards my Quietly Fantastic life.
There are a lot of Wonderful moments which I wished to frame and hang on my wall.
In other words, this blog is my personal wall for all those wonderful moments and maybe some words along.

I can remember a lot of things, because I keep on remembering.

Life is constantly inspiring me.
With Love, I am now officially a photographer-wanna-be.

Till then, BYE.
May your life Quietly Fantastic.
Love. =)
