"Camwhore" this word came to my attention when I noticed that many people (girls specifically) nowadays like to use this word. The first thing that came to my mind is the act of taking self-picture. Those people who can spend the whole day holding a camera taking his/her own picture. I bet most of you will have the same idea as mine but frankly speaking when I do some research on the word. The meaning defer very much from what I think it is.
cam = camera
whore = sluts (prostitute)
In general the word "camwhore" refers to individuals who perform sexually seductive actions(strip tease) or pose sexually seductive(naked or topless) in front of the webcam in order to obtain money, attention, or goods. The morale is that before you use a word please check its original meaning of the word. I do understand most of the time people doesn't mean it. Better stop using the word "camwhore" unless you really mean to have its meaning >.<

What had Malaysians becoming today?
On the way to Low Yat Plaza in the car with my friends, we passed by a road with hotels crowding both sides of the road (actually we were lost on our way to Low Yat, so we end up passing by roads which is unnecessarily). I was at the back seat of the car looking on an old European couple holding each other hands tightly, out of the blue two motorist tried to snatch the old lady's bag and necklace. The whole situation happened in a blink of an eye. I was dumbfounded looking on to such situation. Luckily the two motorist did not succeed in their plan. I wonder if the two couples will ever be happy to return to Malaysia after such warm welcoming display of those two motorist.
The thing about crimes did not end there. My day was further "graced" by me being a victim of a pickpocket (actually almost). Luckily I had felt some movement in my pocket before the pickpocket ran away with my purse. I was at Hang Tuah LRT station and that time it was just after office hours. So, you will expect a lot of people in the station. I saw a Malay man stand quite a distance from me before the LRT arrived. Right after the LRT arrived the Malay man rushed towards me trying to squeeze in the same cabin as me. I felt very strange as the cabin he was waiting were less people compared to mine.
Guess what? That man pushed me into the cabin as hard as he could and I almost fell on someone. I tried to fight back by pushing the man out of the cabin with my back but my actions we useless as he managed to get in anyway. Then the incident happened when I felt someone is in my lower pocket and I saw that Malay man's hand! I quickly stomp his foot and he removed his hand immediately. What further add towards my anger were a Chinese lady standing right at the side of the Malay man. She saw the whole incident from the time that man put his hand in my pocket! How I know it? That lady told her friend that she saw the man putting his hand into my pocket trying to pick me.
What is Malaysians becoming today? At least the lady would had tell me or give me a signal! Luckily I was not being picked in the end. It would be most appreciated if anyone could just lend a helping hand!

Buried by Rodrigo Cortés
This is my 1st time watching a rather simple movie. How "simple" is this movie? Throughout the whole movie you will only see the main character Paul Conroy (acted by Ryan Reynolds), a blackberry cellphone, a Zippo (a famous lighter brand), a torchlight, a hand knife, a bottle of alcohol, two light sticks and a snake. This 1 hour 40 minutes movie only consist of this few elements.
Boring! You may think this movie is but if you are a kind of person that likes to speculate as the storyline blooms, this movie will suit you well. Together with only Ryan Reynolds you will have a heck of a time guessing and guessing. The story starts with Paul Conroy an American Truck driver in Iraq was buried in a wooden coffin 6 feet underground. He fight for survival by only making phone calls with the cellphone battery running dead. The climax reaches when his wooden coffin begins to shatter as the sand make its way into the coffin filling up the spaces in the coffin.
Have a shoot at the trailer!
Some scene in the movie:
P/S: One thing that I do not like to watch a movie in the cinema is together with cinema-hooligans. Please do be considerate that other people is sharing the same theater with them and they are no the only one in the theater. Lowering discussions volume and over-enthusiasm shouts is really appreciated.

Why you need to skip class?
Yes, I'm giving you reasons to skip your class. Instead of encouraging you to go for you classes, I'm providing you reasons why you need to skip you class. I used to be a normal guy who goes to each and every one of his class. My attendance is 100% since the early of the semester until the end of the semester. Yes, sounds very geeky right? Now, why you someone like me (a guy with 100% attendance) would like to skip class? (think think)
Reasons are simple, have a look down:
1. The subject's syllabus is repeating those you took before.
Well, repeating syllabus happens most of the time especially when you are an engineering student. Every semester you would have the same old familiar content in you lecture slides. Seriously speaking, its very boring repeating those things which you have mastered in the earlier semesters. Why waste time on something that you already know? You can have studies other new things using those times. Conclusion number 1: Skip it!
2. "Fantastic" Lecturers.
In your whole university life you will at least once encounter a lecturer who is not understandable. In the sense that the lecturer delivers the lecture "syok sendiri". Well, you can't blame them actually, they gets too excited explaining something they know and they get too carried away until they forgets that we do not understand a thing. There is also those lecturer's whose English is absolutely "fantastic" X2. You really have to record and repeat a dozen time until you understand what he/she is talking about =.= In the end of the lecture, you would have been lost and you learned nothing. Conclusion number 2: Skip it!
3. Early morning class.
Well, students nowadays tend to be "night creatures". If its not 2-3am they will not sleep. Some of them would have enjoying a good game of DOTA or those with girlfriend would had just came back from "pakto". For me? I would send the whole night watching endless TVB drama I downloaded (shhhhh! copyright infringement) =.= Ok, comes to the next day. What happens is that you gets too tired for the early morning class that you wake up late! Rushing to class and you reaches your class like 10minutes late.With your condition (you haven't bath, haven't brush you teeth, haven't print you lecture notes) imagine what will happen to you in class (guys: lost impression marks to your dream girl; girls: drop you share market having such hideous conditions) plus, with your unprinted lecture notes you will listen to your lecturer chirping to you! Blur and lost in the class. End of the class, you gain nothing, learned nothing and you have to study the topic by yourself. Conclusion number 3: Change you class to 10am onwards or you skip it!
4. Lower barring requirements
When your lecturers say that you will be bared from your final exam if you have less than 50% attendance. This means that you have the privilege to skip you class up till half of your semester! Use it wisely! Great power comes with great responsibilities >.< Self study is actually applicable for those easier subjects and when your lecturer reads from the textbook without actually explaining them =.=
These are just only part of the reasons you can have to motivate you skip your class >.< I do have friends which are smart enough to study the whole syllabus himself and still score an A.
Note: These are just the way I dealt with my university life which I would like to share with everyone. Please take note that everyone is different and the way I did it may not suites you. Hope you have joyous reading!

MyView@DSLR
How many of you actually know what DSLR stands for? I bet most of you would had just say Digital something-something lar~~~ Frankly speaking I just Google it a few minutes ago. The abbreviation of DSLR actually stands for Digital Single-Lens Reflex. Nowadays you can see people around you holding a DSLR camera. In shopping complex you see a DSLR, in a restaurant you see a DSLR, in the streets you see a DSLR, and if you go in a public toilet you can see someone carrying a DSLR bag >.<
Following the trend I bought myself a DSLR camera too. Its getting cheap nowadays compared to the earlier days. All because of new models are releasing the "older" generation are getting cheaper. At 1st I was deeply encouraged by the breathtaking pictures the DSLR produce. Well, naively speaking I told myself people can take those "hot" shots so do it. Get myself a DSLR and shot some initial shot which were way too far from those I see. Think of giving up at 1st there is so much to learn from a small gadget like that. Its wrong to say you just need to click and put it in auto. If that's the case a normal digital compact camera would do @@
If buying a DSLR ever comes into your mind I think you should hold your horses and think.
1. Budget
After you buy your 1st DSLR with thousands of ringgit the investment wont stop there. There will be lenses investments, accessories (bags, tripods, flashes), books (omitted if you learn online) and annual check-up for your DSLR. All these will make you cash go dry faster than thirsty hippo. Trust me, especially with those lenses, you will eventually feel the current lens could meet you further photography taste buds. Mind you too that there is a shutter limit for every DSLR. When the shutter limit reaches its half life it eventually wont be able to reach its optimum performance again. Again, changing it requires money!
2. Patience
Photography is an art and it cannot be studied or mastered overnight. It requires time and maturity over it. Pictures you see which are breathtaking requires a lot of practice and learning to master it. If you wan immediate results then buying DSLR wont be a good option though. Mastering DSLR requires the 3 basic things: ISO, Shutter Speed and Aperture. Each of them plays an important row in your "awesome" pictures. Then there is your exposure control and how you play with lights. All of these cannot be done without consistent enthusiasm and the "OHM" which push you on and on.
3. Photoshop
Great pictures is doesn't stop after you click the trigger. There is still a long process to go in you computer where you need to edit here and there with software. There is another painful experience you need to go through. Conquering the functions of DSLR is already a big headache and how about conquering pictures editing. You do need to spend some money for the editing software unless you plan to .......
Please take note that the opinions above is not directly meant for someone and if it indirectly and unfortunately hurt anyone's feeling I'm terribly sorry T.T These views were solely my view on a DSLR after owning it for sometime. Amateur opinion generally!
