What Are Words?

Anywhere you are, I am near

Anywhere you go, I'll be there

Anytime you whisper my name, you'll see

How every single promise I keep

Cuz what kind of guy would I be

If I was to leave when you need me most

What are words

If you really don't mean them

When you say them

What are words

If they're only for good times

Then they don't

When it's love

Yeah, you say them out loud

Those words, They never go away

They live on, even when we're gone

And I know an angel was sent just for me

And I know I'm meant to be where I am

And I'm gonna be

Standing right beside her tonight

And I'm gonna be by your side

I would never leave when she needs me most

What are words

If you really don't mean them

When you say them

What are words

If they're only for good times

Then they don't

When it's love

Yeah, you say them out loud

Those words, They never go away

They live on, even when we're gone

Anywhere you are, I am near

Anywhere you go, I'll be there

And I'm gonna be here forever more

Every single promise I keep

Cuz what kind of guy would I be

If I was to leave when you need me most

I'm forever keeping my angel close

The lyrics are very meaningful I totally love this song!!!! Its my Chris Medina~

Should I give up photography? Is it time to get a ‘real’ job? There has been a recent spate of discussions online about that very question. And every photographer, or artist of any genre, has at one point or another in times of difficulty pondered the idea of giving up, sometimes on numerous occasions. The answer from mentors and the supportive will usually be to ‘Never Give Up’, to follow your heart and passion, and to pursue your dreams. But how honest or realistic is it to listen to that advice and persevere in the hopes that luck and fortune will change one day?

We, photographers and artists are by default and DNA, highly emotional individuals. Our life choices are made not on logic, but emotions. Not giving up is a difficult choice to make. Giving up is even more difficult. But each and every photographer and artist faced with the question has a responsibility to be his/her own Simon Cowell, brutally honest Idol judge. You need to ask yourself in all sincere honesty, not only how good and masterful you think you are at your craft, but how realistic your chances are of success should you not give up, and what implications does it have for you as a person, or others that rely on you for support. For every one photographer that gives up, there are probably nine others that are giving in to replace him or her. Competition is very tough these days. Masterful photographers are plentiful. Photography commissions are declining rapidly. Am I really good at what I do? Am I better than good? Do respectable peers think the same? Have I tried my very best? Do I have the will power, vision, resources and support network to convert my good into a feasible career and living?

An alternative to giving up entirely is to reconsider the path to your passion, to define your area of interest and circumnavigate a blunt obvious route to your dreams. There are invariably other options and paths to doing what you love, and to loving what you do.

LOVE Y'all ALWAYS!!!!

OMG!!!! I'm 21!!!!!

YO!!!!

Oh noooooo!!!! I'm old~~ I'm 21!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Well, its not that bad as it sounds, I was suppose to post this a few weeks back but I was a little bit busy with college stuff and so on.
So now is the time since I can't sleep.
On the day of my birthday, I planned to just go around the whole Penang with Looi since I was not doing anything or celebrating it at home.
We 1st went to find out information about taking driving license, after that, we went to Gurney to do some stuff and then headed to Queensbay for lunch.
We went to TGI Friday for lunch and it was on her!!!
What a surprise right??? It turned out to be my birthday lunch >.<
After we done eating, when we was about to leave, almost all the staff from the restaurant came to our table to wish me Happy Birthday.
OMG!!! I was so shock!!!
They did those shouting wishes and even made me give a speech.
I was so shock, touched and totally lost of words.
No one had ever done something like this for me for quite a long time.
I really appreciate everything and all the trouble you had go through to make this happen =)
After lunch we went to PISA for the education fair. We scout around for few colleges and then headed to Prangin to get Looi's hair done. After that, we had dinner and the last stop of the day was the LOMO shop.

Here are the pics of that meaningful day of mine =')

One of my best friend... Looi!!!!

Me!! That time still dunno what gonna happen =.="

A little bit hard to drink this towards the end >.<

Looi's Pasta with Salmon =)

My steak!!! Delicious!!!

In shock and shy mode >.<

My birthday brownie with ice cream =P

Had to blow the candle from that far away

Touched 9696!!! T.T

Looi at the saloon =)

Dinner =D

The LOMO shop at 1st Avenue mall =)

Again I would like to that Looi again for everything on that day. It was really an unforgettable birthday and I'm sure I'll remember it for years to come =')

Peace Out
