Lyrics to Sing-a-Long

This is a story from not long ago
about a boy and a girl who fell in love like whoa
but there was a problem I didn’t count on
the fact I was a Canon and she was a Nikon

The photo community was too far gone
they couldnt appreciate what we had goin’ on
we had similar features, made similar pictures
we really weren’t that different but they still couldn’t see

I auto focused on her sexy body
buttons to push didn’t know where to get started
I never thought I’d fall for a D200
but she was so hot, she was all that I wanted

[Chorus]
My 1DS mark III
felt more complete
when we were together she said my shots were so unique

But soon you’ll see
we could never be
like Romeo and Juliette
our families disagreed

Ohh Ahh Polish my lens girl
oooahh polish my lens girl
ohh-ahh polish my lens girl
dont leave a thumb print on that lense girl

The two sides always at war
all across the message boards
Dpchallenge what the fuck yo
they could never let go
of the hate no thats for ‘sho
the Nikon gang whooped my ass and made me go

The 70-200 in my pants wouldnt fit inside her Nikon body
made me wear a UV-filter, which I’m against, but shes my shawtay
Mount her on my tripod and screw her on and off and on again
make her take my picture and say I’m the best thats ever been

[Chorus]

Cause I’m a Canon gangsta and your a Nikon shawtay
I wanna take a picture of that rockin bootay

We couldnt keep the act up we just had to face the facts
but hey look on the bright sïde at least we’re not a Pentax

I was just reading news and some websites and this pop up, its been popping up all the time, its about “Did you know you can earn £800 in a week from google”.

Shit like this

I’ve seen it a couple of time, and everytime it pisses me off closing the pop up, but this time I checked it out.
Read thru the shitty sales pitch of….you send us £1.40 and we will mail you a “GOOGLE business Startup Kit”.

I smell something all of a sudden….weird….Smells like…hmmm

BULLSHIT!!

Yes…so I did a search….Google Business Start up kit SCAM! and found out so many people got tricked into this crap….so yes..they ask you to sign up send them money, they contact you telling you bout “training” on how you can get it started…Guess this is the piramid scam scheme..1 scammer training lil dumb scammers to trick more people into scamming….

So don’t fall for it!! Money is not so easy to earn!!
Hence, after seeing that….I checked out my Google Adsense and My Nuff Nang ad on my blog to see if I’ve earned anything so far!!

I GOT SO EXCITED WHEN I SAW THE AMOUNT I’ve Actually EARNED!!
*drumrolls*

Yes…VERY VERY PATHETIC…50 cents from nuffnang and 0.26 from google…

I don’t feel Cashed Up from my blog at all…..hence this made me want to get a bit more crowd coming into this blog and CLICKING ON THE BANNER/ADVERTISERS!! I need cash to support my net bills!!

Please Click it more often?!?!
Make a difference in my life please??

ohh yea…and I think the only person that checks out my blog now is my girlfriend…nobody cares about moi!!

Anyways….Thought I post up a Nice photo of something…I did a lil colour tweek last night for this photo I took of my gf in Pangkor Laut in August..

Went out for a lil drink on Wed, so I’ll be good this weekend.

Stopped at the last snakebite + shot…..needed to catch the bus to get home….Not gona pay 7 pounds to take a cab home alone….so got home at around 11….was a fun night after all…Slept around 1 but got to class all alright the next day!! but tired….I’m Old!

Today (sat) went for a football match at fratton park (portsmouth fc)….good fun times!!

Time to go….Laterz!

Its been a busy week right after the finale party!! Been really busy…..Didn’t even have time to go online or update anything….but I have my lovely Iphone IM+ so I was kinda reachable all the time…I’m High Tech that way….in a sad happening way.

So I didn’t win…  Thanks you guys who voted for me… Appreciate it very much… Here are some of the shots from that night…

I make Old School Era Glasses look Good! lol

The 2 Hottest finalist that Night! Yesh! I'm Thick!

The R Team

The Winning Team

Anyways back to my busy week…I was at Tanjong Jara Resort which is like 5 hours drive from KL…Towards the north-east side of Malaysia. This trip was part of a shoot for an inflight shopping magazine for Malaysian Airlines. I was the Assistant photographer A.K.A Photographer’s assistant…lol prefer the first one….lol I did give some sort of direction in the shoot! like maybe contributed 2-10% of the shoot???

Left really early Sunday morning…I drove my Ford Escape, to the studio to meet up with Jimmy (photographer), the gear, met up with the Grace (stylist) and Joey (hair + makeup) and followed Calvin’s benz to Nikko Hotel to pick up the Nat (the Model).

The Mysterious Model

I drove 5 hours straight…was like fiddling with my ipod, my sunnies, my cap, my face, my phone (checking tweets/facebook/emails) while driving…just to keep myself awake…Got those passengers worried (they were sleeping most of the journey!). Well I can multitask!! all that while going at 110-140km/h…the car started to go all jerky at 130!! Sad!!…..but multi tasking while driving…Thats skills! Dangerous!! But its a skill!

Ate lunch at one of those highway stops….saw the model finally…and I was all MESMERIZED!! lol

(Too Be Continued)

There is something wrong with the photo Uploading!! I can’t post up photos to this post.

Will update this later.

I can’t really show photos of the model, due to publication reasons….. The photos for this shoot will be in the magazine in MAS first week of Sept…So after that I can post up all the photos…like photos with the model and all…

AUGUST 2009

No holidays this year. Sorry. The Ox is scrutinizing your progress. You cannot let up on the throttle for one minute, or you will be plummeted to the bottom of the A list and have to start all over from scratch in September. You should be looking more closely at budgetary considerations now. This month is the right time for taking stock. You are more than halfway through the Ox year and, by now, ought to have accumulated sufficient funds to set some aside for the holidays. Because you have showed such diligence in your work life this year, offers should be coming in for contracts or agreements about work in August. Take them seriously. Read every word in the fine print. Take those papers to your lawyer for scrutiny. Then, if all looks well, sign them and get on with some projects adjacent to the one you are already working on. Should there be some discrepancy between your idea or what’s fair and theirs, don’t hesitate to negotiate. Control your tendency to lose your cool when involved in these discussions. There is always a way to find a middle ground and create a win situation for both parties.

What a load of  BULLSHIT!! (referring to ox scrutinizing my progress)  You FAILED SUZANNE WHITE!! Go back to your “prediction” class.

Was just reading my book when this popped up in my facebook notifications… Prediction for you….Read it or remove it…Too bad I didn’t remove it….you just gave me blog post content…thanks SW!

Sorry to you…. I’ve travelled more than I ever did especially this year!!

And Showed diligence in my work this year?? accumulated sufficient funds?? lol….Cute! where is this accumulated funds…the only funds I have on me is IMAGINARY funds…NEED MONEY!! BUY MY PHOTOS! =D

Parents went in a few times, told me bout how people would come all the way here to hike…and you live so close and your not fully utilizing it. Remember once, I was about to go full on adventure with my parents for the hike….walked up till the entrance…saw a few mossies on my leg…and went fuck it…I’m going home…and drove home (1-2 mins drive)

Cindy just randomly msged me last nite…and said Where Do you live??…I was like Gasing why?? u mean Jalan Gasing?? and then she filled me in bout how she and her friends wanted to check it out…told her to call me in the morning (7am! more like 7.30ish…)…if I pick up then I guess I’ll go…Lucky! I slept early last night…12ish…Thanks to her SERIAL CALLING…I got up…well, she called to say she was coming…then I was like alriteeeee but still halfawake….I was just checking my facebook and lazing on my bed….then I heard the car outside…..and then the phone rang..and she said she was OUTSIDE…=( lol…terpaksa la..

Was a fun hike…didn’t know the forest/jungle/mountain was that big….and so close!!! Did 50% of the track and decided to come back some other time when we get fitter…went to Raju for breakfast….then home…

Never really posted these macro shots I took last year….I was walking back from work….across fawkner park…when this lady bird was on my arm…so I brought it home for some macro session…

http://www.advertlets.com/weblog/2009/07/02/advertlets-presents-a-screening-of-the-proposal-this-20th-july/

Here is the winning proposal….

Bring her to the best hokkien mee restaurant in petaling street….order the awesome longan drink from the corner……after the meal fantastic meal…pull up your chair next to her (can’t kneel cause the floor is really dirty with spit)….look for the ring in your bag….dig around a lil bit…..tell her….sorry lah forgot to bring…..pull out your own petaling street metal ring from your finger and go…”Nah, take!……Can lah one time?? Marry me ok a not?”…..

The end….I WIN!

And because recently I watched the movie FIRED UP (cheerleader teen flick)….that movie was just awesome…Just so Awesome…JUST JUST so Awesome….lol..I like it …I I like It

Wasn’t sure if it was free, cause 8 years ago it was…..with the shitty economy now and greedy corporations and all….I thought maybe they started charging, Called up my brooo and he told me its still free..GREAT STUFF!!

So called up my friend who wanted to learn photography (good chance for him to shoot something, and I didn’t want to go alone, its scary being surrounded by underage kids…. when your at my age), packed up my equipment and LAUNCHED OUT!

Picked up my friend at Puchong, and drove straight to the stadium. The place was pretty packed with lil kiddos, its pretty sad to see many of them smoking outside. Guess they are the cool bunch…..and all I did in high school was hang out in the computer room, played chess and learn astronomy.

Anyways…I’ll let my photos do the story telling….

I really need to find a better way to post up my photos…i know its kinda messy…and wordpress image posting thingie is a bit complicated for my noobness…apparently i didn’t learn much in my computer club days…

ohh yea…I feel sorry for Missy Charming pretty face Melissa Campbell…she twisted her arm or something….I wanted to rush over to help…but she was too inaccessible..being on the other side and all…..and it would be too dramatic if I just ran across the hall, while TEAM MALAYSIA was performing…..and sorry to say Team Malaysia really needs to buck up on their pompom butts…because they were quite bad at the end…some of the guys couldn’t keep the girls up and was falling all over….Having a Pretty Face Team is good and all….but yea need more work lads and ladies…

You can look me up on facebook….made a cheer album just for that….

http://facebook.com/kingstonliu

Check out the album..and tag ur friends!

Anyways….I’m Off! Enjoy the photos…….
