An Awesome Night Out With Friends on a Thursday

it was thursday night, i got well, bored really...haha...so i decided to ring up my freind raphael who lived a few meters away from my house, meaning, we live really-really close. at the same time i wanted to return his old acoustic guitar back..c'mon, i've been keeping it in my room for about 3 weeks.

so i walked there at 8.30 at night, it was pretty dark but i managed, i got there and went straight to the park near his house, where we usually gather around for useless chatter and jackass stuff..ahahaha....here are some pics of that night....



me flying high



A shadow of raph...it looks good from my point...



raphael doing some screamo shit

yeah thats his guitar rught there...

i took this picture with blocking the flash a little bit, and it seemed to work....

*************************************************
after all of this we went to our resident kedai kaling/keling
Mr.K!!!
we bought some drinks, a 1liter carton of air bunga and lychee
and some AA batts for me

we went to sit at the bridge near his housing had some useless chat and sat around
for a few minuets.

suddenly raphael stands up and says to me,
"hey man, i need to take a tinkle"
i say,
"go back home la bha! why the hell you telling me this"
him,
"bha bha! i go first ahhh"
he walks a little bit, then suddenly stops, still at the bridge,
i hear him opening his zipper and i look away, really-really far away
and i hear the gross, pervers sound of pee running into the huge drain water....
and say,
"DUDE! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!?"
he zips up and goes to me and says
"I JUST TOOK A TINKLE!"

*stupid yet fun night*

P/S all pictures were taken with Raphael's Cannon Powershot...sumtin-sumtin...

A New Album From Muse!

So I went on youtube a few days ago and searched Muse. So looking for one of the songs which i usually listen to like, Knights Of Cydonia, Hysteria, New Born and Supermassive Black Hole (of course i listen to their live performences, which are, way-way better than the original versions) and I suddenly found a few new videos posted up there, Muse - Uprising and Muse - United States Of Eurasia (+Collateral Damage). So I tough about it and went to the band's web page, muse.mu, it appears that the band is releassing a new album on the 14th of September this year(I'm surely gonna buy it)

So, I decided to listen to these two songs, starting of first with Upsrising.

MUSE - UPRISING
I was totally taken by suprise by this song, it sounded so-so different from their other songs, this song was much more electric and had a distinct rhytm, it sounds more like a singalong at a huge Muse concert (which i would love to go to), where everyone would be singing along to the rhytm of the chorus saying "come on!". Yeah some people are thinking " Hey?! What the hell happened to the old Muse?! This sounds like a shit-load of bull-crap!" But on the contrary I think that muse have evolved their sound, again!

MUSE - UNITED STATES OF EURASIA(+COLLATERAL DAMAGE)
And again! This song totally blew me away! With the slow start at the begining of the song with the pieano and the bass with amazing vocals from Bellamey, and suddenly it goes into an outburst with an amazing sounding orchestra! Surely in this song Bellamey's great tallent for composing amazing rhytms and melodies wows me again. The collateral damage is actually a piano solo, where Bellamey plays with an orchestra accompaniying him. Just by listening one can actually here a distinct Queen influenced song, with the lyrics and the melody. But with the music itself, Bellamey really has been influenced by great composers such as Chopin and Rachamininoff, where you can hear the distinct sound of Chopin's nocturne op.9 no.2 but you can feel the soul of Russia.

with all of these factors taken into place, I have concluded that this album will be a very-very awe-som-eh album.

*legend*
awe-som-eh - it's like saying awesome with an emphasised eh at the back, where it exagerates awesome, in other words it's better than awesome, it's awe-som-eh.

Logn Time No See! Bloggieee! SLR? D-SLR?

hahaha, it's been an extreemly long time since i've updated, again...
ahahahaha, well it's gonna be another long wait until i get good, and when i mean good i mean, "GOOD" blogposts out here. ahahaha.

why?

well it's just cause i want to learn properly, the art of photography!

and my equipment will be a Nikkon F75 film SLR camera. ahahaha. yea sure you're reading this at home or wherever saying.

"Film?! what the hell douglas?! So lame, outdated, now we live in a new age, where we have D-SLR's! (Digital - Single Lense Camera) And you're still using a film camera!? shhheeeshh"

well there are many reasons why i want to learn using a film camera, one of the main reasons is that, film camera's give the photo a warmer fell to it, with added lighting(i don't want to get into this stuff) and plus it gives a greater sense of achivement, when one recives their photo's straight from the lab, especially after seeing your hard work turned into a beautifull masterpeice for the world to see on the "INTERNET"

Internet you ask?

Digital? Film? WHAT?!

yeah, it was a revelation to me at first on how they could actually be converted to "DIGITAL FORM" ahahaha. (now look who's in the dark...hehehehe) and thats also one of the main reasons why i want to pursue the artistry of "film photography"

thanks, see ya!

p/s: i got an awesome book from my best friends dad on photography!
