National Art Gallery

today....i went out again today....to a freaking museum....HELL YEAH!!!anyway....i grab a slice of cake and a cup of orange pekoe tea (sounds grand right...not at all...just some stupid tea and a slice of cake)...the cake was good....but i have better...so not gonna recommend....and then it was 4.30pm....and i said to myself....i wanna go in the National Art Gallery of Canada...all bcuz i got to see the inside of the Parliament, i just so pumped to go visit the Gallery...i spend a lot of time outside the gallery collecting thoughts in the summer....so in winter we go inside...i wish i have a lot of pictures to show but photography is not allowed inside...plus if i show u everything here...it will give reasons not to go there....so wanna see what i see...go the National Art Gallery of Canada

The Building: National Art Gallery

The Inside of the Parliament Building

finally...i have been to the parliament hill too many times already...to relax, to watch concert, to make snowman...but never once i have the courage to enter that british inspired building...it is free for public tours...a tour guide will bring you around to show you important part of the building n the parliament...the common room, the senate room and the most magnificent library i have ever seen...they will show you...and did i mention, it is FREE...if only i knew sooner...the tour guide will also give you some info on the history n the process involved in parliament...but being an ignorant man towards the government, i choose to just listen the mumbling sounds...and took pictures instead...

Memorial Chambers

HDR photography

i never was a fan of HDR....i think it is fake...but i never try it before...done a couple but not great one...until today....i go out and think to myself....what would make my photoshoot session in ottawa a bit different from before....HDR directly pop into my mind...and this what i got....

i have no idea what to name all this...but for it is sure is pretty...

The river to quebec...

Post World Cup 2010

July 1st 2010- CANADA DAY

Hello everyone…it has been awhile since Canada Day…but suddenly i have the tiny mood to write a new post…actually i’m not gonna post only one blog post today…first entry…CANADA DAY…here is the picture…

this is an image of how many people were there…2 years living here, never thought Ottawa can support this much people…haha

 

 

The Snowbird(i think but i think i’m wrong…haha) come soaring…unfortunately without any telephoto…i only use my nifty fifty to shot this…hahaha

 

there were performances and a whole lot of stuffs going on…even Queen Elizabeth…but i couldn’t shoot any picture of her…

but the cherry on top of the awesome day was the fireworks that night…here is some picture…but again…unfortunately i watch the fireworks blasting at the perfect place to experienced it but not the best place to take picture…here we go!!!

u can check out all this picture in my Flickr or just click the picture for the bigger view…again sorry for the sucky picture…but i have a lot of fun that day…

World Cup 2010

stuffs are getting hotter…its time to celebrate the biggest game in the universe…THE FIFA WORLD CUP 2010…all eyes is set on South Africa to see the biggest name in football in action…Kaka, Lionel Messi, Fernando Torres, Wayne Rooney, Stevie G, Arjen Robben, Van Persie…everyone wants to make a name for themself to carry their country to the finals and wins the 18K Pure Gold trophy…

So who do i look at this world cup…well here is my list…
1. Brazil- I’ve been supporting this team for 3 world cup before because of the France 1998…so this year it will still be Brazil in my heart…but i have to be honest, i don’t actually recognize a lot of Brazilian player since i only watch Barclay’s for the past 4 years but i surely can’t wait to see how Kaka will perform…

2. Spain- people said that Spain is favourite…a lot of player are on form…a lot of player got their name up in the sky for the last 4 years…and of course their are the Euro 2008 winner…so how can they lose…this is my 2nd favourite team…player i’m gonna watch, fellow Liverpool FC…Fernando Torres…

3. Italy- honestly speaking…not my favourite…but since they are the 2006 winner…i hope they perform better and have one hell of a show…

above are my choose for this year World Cup…but i think it worth mentioning three other teams:

Good Charlotte - Misery

sketches…

hi everyone…it is summer…its nice not to burden my head so much with engineering and physic knowledge…i can say i’m very as a bird in a big cage like the one at any zoo since i still taking summer course…but it is all the freedom i need for now…so it got me thinking…since it is summer….i wanna do something that i’ve been neglecting for awhile since fall and winter…i’ve been doing a lot of photography…i can’t go to vacation since i’m broke…and then it struck me…it has been awhile since i drew…so in the spirit of so-called-freedom…i pick up my mechanical pencils and bought myself an eraser(i don’t need an eraser before since i' usually crossed out word i did not want) and get myself a piece of paper and draw…but i had been so long since i’ve drew anything, i’m dried out on idea…so i opened my Flickr account and try to make portraits out of the portraits pictures in my Flickr…and this is what it turns out to be…

 

 

i know none of is good….but cut me some slack…i never have professional training on any kind of art…my high-school teacher never got the chance to impart any good knowledge of art on me…and it have nearly been a year since i’ve last drew anything…so for someone like me…not bad la…but anyway…i could use some help on how to get better…if anyone knows a good website or a good book that can help me…please share with me…that is all for now…chiow chin chiow…

Midwest Games…

hi everyone…

hi, i almost forgot i have a blog…haha…anyways…after my finals nothing happen to me so far…i did not go anywhere, just stay at ottawa…all alone lonely in my house…anyway…i’ve got myself a new lens…although it is a used lens but hell yeah it is a very cool lens and a lot of fun to play with…

it is the Tokina AT-X 116 PRO DX AF 11-16mm f2.8…it is a really cool wide angle lens…creative production would really come awesome with this…but when you have no idea of when taking picture it is really hard to use…but it is really cool to used indoor since it has a constant aperture of f2.8…but it is really cool and fun lens to play with…
although it is really fun to play with…i could use a telephoto lens…but hell i need the money for that…haha…so i’m hoping i’m gonna buy a telephoto zoom lens someday…
here is something i shot with the lens…please comment…

9.44 pm

hi everyone…i’m back again with a new post…a lil rest from “study”…a lot happen after my last post…seriously a lot…first my mom when to OT…she is okay now…but still pray for her fast recovery please…hehe…and then my friend, Syamsul Hashami went to a knee surgery because of his ACL…(same thing as me when i did my operation 2 years ago…~not important…hehe~~)anyway…pray for his quick recovery too…the guys need him on the field…hehe…other than that…i went to a physiotherapy session for my knee also…the therapist said it maybe a meniscus injury or something…i was glad it wasn’t another ligament…i kinda get some trauma after being in warded a few time before…anyway…if anyone knows anything about meniscus i would like to know…maybe just to speed up recovery…cuz i can’t even run to catch a bus…hahaha…

on another side…good news…i change my DSLR body…i used to take picture with Rebel XS…this Rebel XS… 

but now i have a new one…this one…

yes baby…a Canon EOS 50D…it cost me some money…a lot actually…but worth it…it is really different than the Rebel…the picture get a lot sharper and the colours was beautiful…plus i also have the 50mm f:1.8…really sharp lens…really love the camera…but unfortunately…i don’t have any good lens…so now my dream is to save money for after graduate to get marry and buy a new lens…i am thinking of the Canon 10-22mm or 15-85mm with 70-200mm lens…the main point here is that i am looking for a wide angle lens…after i have the money la…hehe…anyway…ending this post i wanna share some of the picture taken with the new camera…

alright guys…see ya next time…anyone wanna leave a comment about the camera please do so…could really use some tips…

2.50 am

hi again…the third post in 4 days…i wish no one reading this cause i’m just gonna complaint about something to clear my mind…i know how much people hate to read something like that…DON’T READ THIS PEOPLE, PLEASE DON’T, I’M BEGGING YOU NOT TO READ THIS… i’m to lazy to change my setting and this is my diary…

its already 3 am…and i have a midterm tomorrow at 10.00 am…i’m not ready for it…and seriously right now i don’t have the mood to study at all…my head been stuck at something that i think don’t even exists in my life…i don’t know why i’m feeling this way…maybe i just miss my gf or my camera…or maybe i miss both…but it is really hurtful feeling this way…i think i need a diversion from study…u know sometimes people felt happy if they do something else to keep them in perspective of what they main course in life…like sometimes students who is good in sports have to play sport to be good at study…so i think maybe i need the diversion…i can’t play sport…my art sucks…my camera not here(it kinda sucks too)…so what else can i do…haih~~my leg still hurts…it almost make me cry…i’m like seriously feel like crying thanks to this damn leg…but thank you God for introducing mankind to painkiller…but it just temporary…i still hurts…or maybe i’m just overreacting again since i’m not an athlete so any injury i have will hurt me more cause i have low tolerance of pain…but it just me…ARGHHH!!!!!!!!this really bummed me out…the whole week…i think it is gonna haunt me further in my life…this really really sucks…okay complaint stop here…i know sometimes a line of sentences will never stop everyone…so anyone reading this it stop here…

now this time i think i wanna share some old pictures in my flickr…

thanks to Dila Safar…

ooo…one more thing…to those people who used Windows 7 and have a blog…u guys should try to use Windows Live Writer…this program is cool…i’ve been writing using this program and i think it is sweet…try it…ok guys…bye2…

4.59 am

hi everyone…again i have no idea to put the title on the post anymore…so i just put the time of this post is written…so i dont know what to write today…i think i will only complaint about stuffs in this post because i think my life is sucking all the sudden…so putting thing into list:

1: My camera

from my previous post…i already told u guys that my camera broke…the bad thing about this is that i need to spent money to repair it…so yeah…

2: My knee

i dont know if i ever told anyone in my blog about my knee…so i’m gonna tell u guys now that i had never had a good knee…well at least not after playing soccer sometime before Ramadhan in MRSM TGB…i used to operate my knee…in fact i had done it twice…i thought the pain should stop bothering me after the operation but know i beg to differ…since this couple of weeks my leg really hurt…my left knee actually look like i have 2 knee caps…i’m afraid that my ligament tore again…to check this true or not…i need to go to physio and some checkups…the worst part is that the money is involved for physio…but its not that expensive but i think i can survive.

3:Summer

now…the biggest part of my complaint is the summer…since it looks like i have another bad knee so i think i wanna go back to malaysia this summer if i need to operate my left knee again…the worst part about this problem is again the money…i need to buy the flight ticket back to malaysia…like hell yeah its a big problem…but i think i might survive all this…i hope so…

so this three problem is being spinning around in my head this week…this and some midterms coming up…ELEC2607 and PHYS2202…and i’m not prepared for any of the midterms…i think my life is like in ruins right now…but they say…it always darkest before the dawn…so for the first time ever i’m gonna be optimistic about thing and thinks that i’m gonna make it out of this barely alive…well guys i need to get back to studying…studying…all i can do is study…i wish i have something else to do other than study…so if anyone in ottawa reading this…i wanna suggest a cultural night in ottawa…

p/s: thanks to those who wake me up today…

1.52 am...

hi everyone...
just like the title of the post....i started to write this one at 1.52 am...why so late...well at least for me that is late...or for anyone to write anything on his/her blog....but we're students....it's normal to be awake at this time of night...i can't go to sleep...so write a lil something...

last week monday....i went to a camera repair shop....at first i just wanna find out how much it will cost me to repair the err99 on my Canon EOS Rebel XS/1000D...so i went there...and surprisingly i have a shutter problem...i though it was a board problem...turn out it's not....so right now my baby XS is in a capable hand and every ticking moment i missed her so much...it is hard to spend a week holiday with beautiful weather without my camera...i'm just bored out of my mind....plus to add insult to injury....the repair will cause me some money...so like damn....

this is my only picture with the camera...

in other news....Canon came out with a new EOS model....they gave name to the new model, the Canon EOS Rebel T2i/550D....i read the specs of the camera...the camera is kinda cool...with 18 Mp CMOS censor....Digic4 image processor...but the company said the camera is targeted for consumer who wanna a DSLR with superb video capability....the HD video capability is said to be similar to EOS 7D...yes HD video with 1080p...cool right....but of course still picture is much better in the 7D....since it came out as a Rebel model....so it is for beginner....but with 18 Mp....that is huge...and it can use the SD card....that is cheaper than using Compact Flash like the mid-level camera like 50D and 7D....so by reading the specs, i thinks this camera is a value for money....anyone thinking of a DSLR and wanna Canon....wait for this camera...probably early March....i want one...but the XS is still enough for me...hehe....check out this link for more

wow...i only talk about camera....like i'm good enough to comment about this topic....hahaha....anyway....bye2....c ya....

Heartbreak...

This post is just for fun from my ipod touch... Let see what i can say for today... Tomorrow i'll have my first test of the term... Wish me luck on that... Right now i'm half studying while tring blog editor in the ipod... Pretty hard though.. Small keyboard with small screen... There will a lot of spelling mistakes using this awesome device... But still if u can understand it then it is adequate...

Now... A lot of u might have a gf or bf somewhere around the world and u must love them somehow... I also have a friend who have a gf in malaysia...in penang... He luv her...but he lied to her quite number of times...and suddenly one day...they broke up... So now... I wanna say that the guy is sorry...very sorry for all the heartbreak he cause that girl... He is blind sometimes... Probably he did not appreciate her that well in their relationship... So he is sorry... He is feeling really empty right now without her to fill his heart... So if the girl is reading this... Syazli said sorry... He did meant to do harm... Maybe one day... Fate set both of u together....




P/s: once u got the hang of writing using this keyboard it is kinda fun....

anyway....Congratulation to Aizat with his extraordinary performance with Pergi and Kau Aku....Pergi is a very beautiful song...i almost cried trying to feel that song...it is beautiful...also....congrats to Yuna-Dan Sebenarnya....really like the Jazz type swinging for the song...really cool...and Faizal Tahir-Bencinta for the spirit he shown us....other performance that i like would be...Estranged-Aurora(watch it on Youtube, wish they won)....Black-Aku Rindu Sayang Kamu (nice vocal), Hujan-Aku Skandal(really cool swing for the intro but hate the "dancer" in front..), and Bunkface-Situasi(nice going for the kids to sing but Sam should try to get a vocal guru)...wow....this is quite long for AJL 24...anyway...it is worth watching....plus Lan and the Typewriter with Siti Nurhaliza was an awesome duo and Search-Pawana(yeah)....

here is the performance that almost made me cry....Aizat-Pergi....

so now...i'm gonna tell u about my results....those who don't wanna read it can close ur browser now...if not then just bear to all my emo talk..don't tell me i didn't warn u...let start of with the not so bad one first....

first of all is my SYSC2002:Data Structure and Algorithms-A....is just a C++ course....and i brought a good carry marks before final...

2nd was my MATH2004:Multivariable Calculus-B-....not surprise...i didn't do bring on a good for the semester...and the final was a lil bit hard for me...

3rd was my ECOR2606: Numerical Method-C-.....i was disappointed...because i could have done better...probably on the final....and all through the semester...but i didn't

4rd was my PHYS2604:Modern Physics-D+....it was a hard course and my tiny brain isn't that good...

MOST DISAPPOINTED of all got to my ELEC2501:Circuits and Signal Analysis-C-....this pull me back to the ground....even pulled me 6 feet under....i cried when i saw this....

a lot of people tell me..."lek a li....u didn't fail la,""better than failing,""ok la 2" and sometime i even hear things like "itu pun tak ley jawab,"....let me explain to all why i'm so down because of this results...my GPA wasn't good for the first year....i can't apply for co-op because of it...so..i think to myself why not i apply for 3rd year...all the 4 courses is in my target...but i put an A for this course...it was an easy course...at least for it was easy....but i've got an C-....u can just imagine how big i missed there....i didn't know where i went wrong...i seriously can see where i did wrong....call me overreacting or whatever u want....but this really broke my heart...i can't apply for co-op no longer...i don't know how i'm gonna get up after this fall...it will get harder not easier after this...so this result should explain why i'm in sorrow all this time...thanks to all those who try so hard to comfort me....thank you very much....

p/s: sorry for the grammar mistakes...trying so hard to get rid of them...hehe

New Year Post...

hi everybody....

it is January 2010...and tomorrow is the first class of winter 2010 study terms...how i had this moments right now...because normally i think of the best possibility of what going to happen on the first day...ever since i was in schools...the night before the first day of class... i always think for myself that everything will be good like...i will meet a cute girl in class or the teacher will be super sporty or the guys held a party on the first day of class....unfortunately none of it ever happen (maybe the teacher being sporty kinda happen) but life do not work that way...i'm kinda like JD in Scrubs but reality kicks me in the butt...so this term...i ain't hoping for anything...the only thing i'm gonna hope for is that the books is cheaper than last term...please let it be cheaper...anyway....since this is the first post before the term start and probably the last post before the term ended....i'm gonna tell you what i will learn this term...

first of all:

1. PHYS 2202: Wave Motion and Optic->not looking forward for it...my last term physics teacher actually told us that this one gonna boring...hooray...

2. ELEC2507: Electronics 1->not quite sure that i should be excited or not...but the name is electronic...and i am excited about electronic since i was 5 years old...(there once a computer that i open up when i was five and i pull everything out...the computer never had a chance)...hehe

3 ELEC2607: Switching Circuits->i don't know either...i must be kinda related with electronics...i guess...

4. MATH3507: Mathematical Method-> seriously have no idea what the heck is this course about...we just have to wait and see...

5. SYSC2004: Software Development-> again...i don't know a thing about the course...probably making software but i don't know...but i hope it will only use C++ cuz i'm comfortable with that language....

so...these are all the courses that i'll be taking this term...sound hard...i don't know...maybe...all i can say is i wish it go fast cuz once this term ends...i have 2 more years before i graduate...but still i think studying does not suck as much as working...i think...only my thought...don't have to prove me wrong...anyway...till anytime that i am not busy and not to tired from study...i'll write again....

p/s: i went no where this winter break...sorry to Syazwan Sulaiman cuz i lied about going to NB...had it in my head but not in my feet...so so sorry....and no new picture....but don't worry...since boxing day...so many people bought their own camera....

Bye Bye old books...you will be on my shelf and will never be open again....
