There are some simple rule for this. Photos cannot be taken from the internet or from any other sources. I have to be involved in all these photos in one way or another.

I'm a big fan of photography and I take quite a lot of photos. (mind you, not the self-portrait ones)
So here they are !

photo number 1:
On a rather sad note, this photo sums up the misery of failing to graduate. that is me looking at all my classmates that have made it through.

photo number 2:
This is a happy one for me as Seng Keat fails miserably to stop me from winning just about every race in Need For Speed.

photo number 3:
A magnificent view at Penang's Hard Rock Hotel with Eunys and Amelia in it. NICE. There are a few with that view and its kinda hard to choose.

photo number 4:
Perfect timing by Wener. There were Typhoon at the Philippines, minor tsunamis elsewhere and we were in Pangkor's beach ! Kevin's reaction shows just how hard hitting those waves were.

photo number 5:(just to make up the numbers)
Seng Keat's face that sums up how the espresso at Segafredo tastes during my 21st birthday celebration.

So there we have it. the 5 nominated photos. Send me your comments on which is best,2nd best and 3rd best in my blog, facebook, msn, whichever way. the result will be posted on the 31st of December. "vote" now. I'll frame the winning photo for being the favorite photo of the year !

Had a TERRIBLE,AWFUL day and it seems, nothing can cheer me up for now. Here's how bad my day is.

Before Work
­-rain coat pants pocket torn, lost my coins for parking. ended having to to ask from passer by for 50 cents.
-raining while on the way to work.
-after parking, went all the way to the entrance and then the guard tells me NO HELMET. so I have to walk back to the bike parking space and walk back while its still raining.

During work
-boss told me the venue is at the 3rd floor, I walked all the way but couldn't find it because it is at 2nd floor.
-walked quickly because I was getting late, only to find out that the people at the shop are even more late. so I had to wait for them.
-boss sent 3 people.only 2 people managed to sell, I didn't after standing there for so 12 long hours.
-lunch time queue was very long. A customer in front wanted to order KFC food in McD,so the cashier had to explain to her that McD's fries and like this and that, bla bla bla....while I'm waiting for my turn to order with my stomach almost empty.
-dinner time, clear sky as i went outside the mall across the street to eat. after dinner, it rained again.
-All the food in QB is expensive.

After work
-I told my dad that this kind of work, no one can work for long. He scolded me for that.
-Reached home at 11pm sharp. which means I'll be very late or will not make it in time to meet up with my friends tomorrow.
-The thought of having to work from 1030-1030 again tomorrow.

Seriously, think about it. you only got 24 hours a day. 12 hours at work. 8 hours to sleep. One hour for traveling and one hour for meals before and after work. 2 hours approximately left. You don't have a life any more. Unless I've got no family and friends, unless this job pays bloody well, there is NO WAY I could ever work for that many hours everyday.

The only good thing about the day ??? - knowing that I will only work there for 3 days.

• I'm so disturbed by these thoughts. Every time it goes through my mind I'll end up having sleepless nights.
  
  
• I have probably seen a little too much of the dark side and I have lost the believe that such a thing or person still exist. Maybe it does, but certainly rare in the real world.
  
  
• If I'm in the opposite position I would have acted in the same manner as well. But I am where I am.
  
  
• I don't want to blame the whole world for this because it is just not right. But what could I do to make a significant difference? Is there any thing I could have done in the past to change the present? How can I change myself to make a difference?
  
  
• Life has been arranged in such a way and it will remain like this for the next few years at least. They say you have to appreciate what you have in order to be happy but how can I be happy when I'm now powerless to change the way things are?
  
  
• The situation is not getting any better at all. There will be no miracles and I need time to solve this problem. By the time its over, what's gone is gone.
  
  
• I don't want pay the price for somebody else's mistake. Why should I be punished for another person's sin? But guess what, I might just have to swallow that bitter pill and accept it.
  
  
• I have always believed if I really wanted something realistically possible, I will get it sooner or later. But to get everything the way I want it is a major doubt.
  
  

Feeling quite depressed. I hope I'm wrong about this. Hopefully things aren't as bad as they seem.

HOPEFULLY...
