考完試了, 假期也來臨了.
昨天早上跑到了學校去做啟程生活營的自由攝影.
自由攝影, 別看它這個字眼看起來很酷, 很帥; 說到底還是隨便亂拍而已.
開幕典禮的時候拍了頒發紀念品和全體大合照的照片.
那些記者還真夠力, 自己拍照拍不好, 又要擋著人家的角度.
更機車的是, 他看你們的照片比較好看, 還想要你把那些照片寄給他.
更摩托車的是, 記者招待會的照片, 他跟你說五塊錢一張.
記者們互相交換照片, 跑到那里都可見.
記者們向學生買照片, 鐘靈獨中才能見.
最近收到了一封郵件, 是關于被邀請到澳洲參加攝影工作室, 為期三個月.
三個月, 雖然不是一段很長的時間, 但學校畢竟還是學校, 不可能有辦法申請到三個月的事假. 就算申請得到, 也沒辦法跟上學業.
我得到的結論就是, 如果我要去參加這個工作室, 我就必須退學.
*理想, 還是夢想?*

The Law Of Studying
Study = No Fail ------- ( 1 )
No Study = Fail ------- ( 2 )
(1) + (2),
Study + No Study = No Fail + Fail
(Take Study Out),
Study ( 1 + No ) = Fail ( 1 + No )
Hence,
Study = Fail
Let us all sleep ;)

Flute + Beatbox Hybrid | a.k.a | Flutebox
Was surfing around the net when I first saw this.
Two amazing premier beatboxers from UK, London.
It's amazing that someone could do beatbox while playing on the flute. It's just simply amazing!
Now to prepare your mind for what you're about to witness, imagine a hybrid of beatboxing, flute playing, and vocals all wrapped up in one. Check it out!

生活
攝影, 總是會為人帶來一種特別的感覺.
拍得好呢, 成就感會特別強.
"如果拍不好呢?"
...別提了.
人, 是活著的.
"為什么人一定是活著的?"
"因為死了就叫死人."
..我要被打了.
回到正題.
人, 是活著的.
每個人 都以不同的目標, 理想而活.
朝向不同的目標, 每個人都有不同的方向.
理想, 就像一座山的山頂.
想要達到自己心目中的理想, 就必須征服那座山.
一些人, 在路途上遇到了障礙, 就不想繼續往上爬, 找個落腳點就算了.
一些人, 爬到一半, 發現自己當初選擇的并不是自己想要的.
一部分人覺得既然已經這樣努力了, 就不管三七二十一繼續爬.
這些人, 絕大部份的人都失敗了; 有一小部分就很僥幸的到達了目標.
但是達到目標的那些人, 會為了他們在自己沒興趣的東西上下的苦工而感到高興嗎?
如果是我, 我不會.
這時, 一部分人選擇放棄, 就下了山, 尋找最適合自己的山, 再繼續往上爬.
下了山再爬另一座山, 腳步難免會比人家慢了點;
但是, 如果是自己選擇的路;
是追得回的.
我自己曾經有很多路想走.
小時候, 發現電腦很有趣, 就想學多點.
大了點, 發現電腦游戲很好玩, 也想學Programming.
CG設計, 鋼琴, 攝影也慢慢的加入了我的生活.
基于父親的職業, 我以前的理想都偏向于電子設計.
小時候的理想, 是想做一個修電腦的員工.
大了點的理想, 就是做修電腦的員工的老大.
到后來, 我才發覺;
原來, 這世界不止一條路可以走.
我個人并不喜歡被約束的生活.
每天面對著同樣的東西, 同樣的事務.
現在, 我改變了我自己的理想.
不受任何人的影響, 自己所發覺到自己想要的東西.
Freelance Photographer, Designer.
自由攝影/設計師.

Fort Cornwallis之旅
為了參加即將截止的全校攝影比賽, 我和老克決定在檳城尋找適合攝影的文化遺產.
問題來了.
"誒, 膺啟, 先去韓江一趟, 跟嘉欣的媽媽拿Camera."
"不是校長拿著咩?"
"因為我們太遲了, 校長早就^%$&*%$&*%"
"..."
就這樣, 我們就專程到韓江去走一趟了.
韓江嘛, 還算不錯, 至少還有女生看.
先把女生們放在一邊了, 照相機要緊.
到了韓江的小雜貨店.
看了看, 怎么有個人挺面熟的?
魚.
有條魚, 正往我們的方向游來.
魚:"誒, 你們要去哪里啊?"
克:"去拍照咯, 那個比賽的啦."
魚:"哎呀, 反正你們有去, 順便幫我拍一張啦!"
克:"拍到再給你吧~"
當然, 我們完全沒有打算要幫她拍照.
Xen:"誒, 這水多少錢?"
安娣:"一塊錢. 要嗎?"
Xen:"唔, 就來一杯吧!"
來了.
魚:"Auntie, 這杯水不用算他們錢啦, 反正他們要幫我拍照的!"
..
就這樣, 我們多了一個競爭對手.
先別聊這些了.
回到正題,
這個地方, 就是我們出發的第一站!
FORT CORNWALLIS!
..放錯圖片了. 接下來是真的了~
Fort Cornwallis is an old star-shaped fort located on the northeastern coast of Penang, Malaysia. It is named after the late 18th century Governor-General of Bengal, India, Charles Cornwallis, 1st Marquess Cornwallis. Fort Cornwallis is the largest standing fort in Malaysia.
Captain Sir Charles Light took possession of the island from the Sultan of Kedah in 1786 and built the original fort with a nibong (Malay: palm trunk) stockade with no permanent structures, covering an area of 417.6 square feet (38.80 m2).
In 1804, Indian convict labour rebuilt the fort with bricks and stones during Colonel R.T. Farquhar’s term as Governor of Penang. Fort Cornwallis was later completed in 1810 during Norman Macalister’s term as Governor of Penang at the cost of $80,000. The fort was intended as a defense against the pirates , Kedah, and the French because of the Napoleonic Wars. A moat 9 meters wide by 2 meters deep once surrounded the fort but it was filled in in the 1920s due to a malaria outbreak in the area.
The Chapel at Fort Cornwallis was built in 1799 on the southwest bastion. It is the earliest roofed structure surviving in Penang from the colonial era. The first recorded marriage here took place that same year when John Timmers married Martina Rozells, the widow of Francis Light.
Even though the fort was originally built for the Royal artillery troops and the military, its function, historically, was more administrative than defensive. For example, the judge of the Supreme Court of Penang, Sir Edmond Stanley, was first housed at Fort Cornwallis when the court opened on 31 May, 1808.
In its entire history, the fort had never engaged in any battle. Apart from being used for the British Royal artillery troops, the fort was once occupied by the Sikh Police of the Straits Settlements during the 1920s. -- 摘自Wikipedia
這是在城堡外面拍到的, 檳城最古老的教堂.
雖然還有去到其他地方, 但還是先寫到這里吧.
畢竟時間不早了.
在這里預祝朋友們考試順利. ;)

AirAsia, 向來都是最白癡的選擇
AirAsia的壞處, 不用我說, 大家都知道.
自稱為馬來西亞售票最便宜的航空公司(其實不為), 不但航空服務差勁, 工作人員提供服務的態度也一樣差勁.
航班延機, 不像空姐的空姐, 在飛機上看漫畫的服務生; 這些都是AirAsia的特征.
這些問題還是次要的.
重頭戲來了.
AirAsia 的服務提供客戶們在網絡上檢查資料的方便.
只要你有訂購機票, 你的資料記錄就會被登記在系統內, 然后傳上網路Server.
當然, 不只是你自己的.
AirAsia完全沒有保全客戶的個人資料. 就算在網絡上面隨便點擊, 都可以發現到自己的個人資料在網絡上滿天飛. 而且, 是每個人都能公開看見的.
名字, 地址, 電話, IC號碼, 電郵, 機票資料等等, 都可以在網上找到; 就只差了個信用卡代碼.
"The privacy of customers will be taken as priority. We will ensure that the information and details of our customers are kept confidential." 以上摘自AirAsia官方網站.
有做到嗎?
我不知道.
