Well, January had been sort of an eventful month with new year resolution, assignments, one sleepless night (so far), activities and events. All in all it was still good and exciting so I have no complain.
Well, here is a big announcement!!! I'm now the Secretary for my youth main committee. Not what I expected but oh well, I guess its God's plan for me. So my first time doing the minutes was like so tiring. I could not even rest during the meeting and I had to keep double checking my info with a few people before posting the minutes. Still, at least its a good change to take up a newer and higher responsibility.(^//,//^)
What I was really excited about from January was Dancepiration, which was organized by the Rotary Club. A performance done by kids from China as young as 5 up till 17 if I'm not mistaken. Thanks to Uncle Shan, I manage to get a free ticket for myself (sorry mummy XD). I had to travel there by LRT cause I was worried about traffic but I regretted. It's like there was no car at all. Well, at least I had my sis and Wei Ling to keep me from boredom for that 15min.
Here was the best part. I went there as an audience but after the group photo with some of the kids, Uncle Shan came to me, hold me by my shoulder and said to me, 'wear this and take some photo. You are one of us now boy'. I was really stun!!! I was debatting if I should reject or not.
Well, at least I was not getting paid so I have obligation to work so hard. I was wrong. I got competitive and tried to do better than the pro photographer the Rotary Club hired!!! If you were there, you could see me disappearing and appearing at different parts of the hall. Even got the chance to be on center stage just to take a photo of the whole hall!!!
My beloved Uncle Shan
The girls :D

I was really glad I was ask to photograph cause I could go to the balconies and to the front to take photo but at the same time enjoy the view. Mind you, I only had a Canon 600D, 17-50mm f2.8 and an old 70-30mm f4-5.6 which I used the most throughout the whole event and it doesn't not even have a stabilizer!!! This is really called shooting with what you have. I did bring myNikon but I let the girls use it :p
Overall, the performance was SUPERB!!! EXCELLENCE!!! FANTASTIC!!! I really would throw flowers to the kids if I ever got the chance.

Well, CNY in KL seems to be normal as usual. I might have bad memories but I'm pretty sure decorations and the feel of CNY in KL when I was young used to be very grand. Still, Pavilion never failed to put up a grand decoration.
So as usual, I will stayed back in KL for CNY. Well, I'm just lazy to balik Tangkak, Johor. At least have my mum and sisters to accompany me XD. So for CMY eve, we had Yee Sang for lunch and then played some sparkles at night.
And who since it's CNY, I thought of getting a new profile pic. Lengzai right? :p
This however was not taken in a studio as to most people beliefs. It was shoot at home (around 10.30pm!!!), with some homemade lighting and a white cloth as the background. Took me an hour to get one that is just nice. If I can do this I'm sure you (whoever that want to try) can do better.
So on the 1st of February, sort of celebrated CNY with Samson at Cikgu's house. I was surprised when the Ng's also came. So we spend time talking, chit chatting and watching tv. Had a good time talking with Cikgu and asking for advice and guidance :p
After that I had the urge to go to ikea and I was really surprised there was loads of people still shopping though some of the shops are closed down around Ikano and the Curve :(
Well, the day ended with a mouth full of laughter. On the way home around 8pm +, I noticed one of my car tire was almost flat. So I quickly find a petrol station and did any person would do. I pumped the tire and the next thing I know is the air valve just pop out and my tire deflated. How it was fixed was a staff came to help, applied some super glue and stuffed the valve back in. It ended with the staff asking for ang pau. So much for a good samaritan >_< at least I got home so I can't say anything. LOL!!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To end this post, all I want to say is CNY for me was quiet and a bit lonely but I'm happy and glad. I can really just relax and just enjoy the quietness of KL before everyone start coming back. Fine la, I missed everyone >_< I even cleaned my room before college starts again and found all of this name tags from my previous youth camp dating back to 2006. My first time associating with the youth was in 2005. I'm feeling old.
Till next time. Bye bye and God bless :D
