e300, sooc with 105/f2.8

note: would have been a better image if i take the time to convert to b&w photo n boost up the contrast... but lets me just repeat again, i dont like to "cook" my pictures outside of the camera.

pic 2: end of the road or starting of the road?

just like the proverb half emtpy or half full... it all depends on your perspective

note: well, i'll be damned "teacher" (see previous post), i just realized i already proved you wrong by posting in 14 consecutive posts (albeit some missed days)! n I will continue to see this until the end of day 365 and continue from there on until either internet or my physical body is no longer present, whichever comes comes first!

Project 365-day 13

dang... missed 2 DAYS of posting in a row!!!

this posting for Friday June 17

pic 1: pride and dedication
RAJD annual practice session - taking a break
e300 sooc 105/f2.8

pic 2: unison movement

Note:

1. i was quite intrigued when i saw this bunch of army attire clad "soldiers" marching under the hot sun in a football field in my hometown.
i approached them n saw the RAJD and upon asking discovered they are sort of like a reservist which will be initiated / called into action if there is a disaster in the country.
their main duties are listed here Rejimen_Askar_Jurutera_DiRaja (wikipedia) 

2. i actually was at loss of what pictures to post until i finished chatting with a fellow forumer just now. i discovered that his perception of me is somewhat unflattering but hey i take it in the chin. it gets me thinking - hmm why did he think of me like that? maybe it is because of what i said / do or did not say / do? i dont think that i can change perception of other people towards me, but i am sure about who i am and i am sure i still have many more things to learn about how i say / do things. so i take it as a constructive feedback! tq fellow forumer! maybe in previous lifetime you have been my teacher and i have not been a good student, so this lifetime you are reminding me of your message again!

3. waliu... i am not doing this blog as a word-based blog la... what is all this crap i am writing about? duh... ok next post please!

pic 2: baptism of fire

silhouette of an indian priest performing rituals

note: even though this is a silhoutte of an indian priest performing rituals i am "loosely" using the term baptism... which is normally associated with christianity. it is never my intention to offend any religion but rather my own interpretation of the word to suit the picture.
