Off and going up again

I'll be going off to northern part of Canada (Quebec, Ottawa, Montreal) if not mistaken for 3 days.

Will post comments about those place when I'm back!

Meanwhile, feel free to visit here http://www.bonjourquebec.com/ca-en/accueil0.html.

Depth of field

Yes! I'm so happy because I've learnt the basic of taking a picture with low depth of field effect. What is low depth of field? The results will roughly let you know what it's all about.








Low depth of field literally means sharpening the subject you want while blurring the background.

*P/s : Thats my lil' cousin from Canada.

Missing you....

It's cold here....

Without you, it's freezing as if winter has dropped by the doorstep.

It has been more than a week since I left. You must be missing me crazy. Yes, I am too! Alot!

I've been watching tv shows, happy endings, which reminded me of the both of us spending the happy times together.

But now, I hear no birds chirping in the Spring, no blossoming flowers. I'm cold. In my heart is a frozen stone.

Where are you? I've tried my every best to stay up late, or at times I wanted to go online at 6 am in the morning. But I didn't because I might wake everyone up from their slumbering sleep.

I didn't trace any signs of your existence when I browse through the messenger. Where have you been?

There's this time you were mad at me for not replying your SMS. I wanted to, but with a merely RM250 top-up in my cellphone, it couldn't let me survive these 3 weeks. Call me stingy, as the SMS costs RM2 to send it to you while you just pay RM0.20.

Keith Urban's "You'll think of me"? Yes, I will..... will you?

Freezing Cold

I'm cold. Real cold now. *shivering* Well, actually it's just merely 17 degree celcius. Boredom increases the cooling part. Yeah, I'm currently stucked to the computer in my relatives' place in Toronto, Canada, country of the beavers, home of the Raptors and bla bla bla. Not to mention small kids being influenced by Canadian culture to swear (South Park).

But at times, Canadians do swear like donkeys. Trust me, I've encountered one during the Raptor vs Detroit game as he happily swore "Bullshit". Not the American way of short pronounced "bullshit!" but a more to opera type of dragged "bull -------------shit!" with some high-low tunes. I was like, "who the hell let tht donkey in!". The game was great especially when I had my free Pepperoni Pizza *ask me how I'd obtained it*.

Items in the northern hemisphere (The United States and Canada) are suprisingly cheap!*

* Apply for certain items like Porno Magazines, Vibrators, Dildos, Electronics, Some Branded Shirts, etc, ect, etc.

Food over there it's not too bad but you might think it's kinda pricy for a hamburger. But this is ain't ordinary Ramly burger that you had in Malaysia. This is like a jumbo one, an "enlarged" one. Hence, it's sort of cheap!

One week of my trip has gone and I'm left with another two. Man, time is passing by real fast. If I were to given a chance, I will plan to study in Canada. Cool place, friendly people , cleaner for your information. Not to forget free accomodation. Maybe after my form 6 I'll study in Canada.

Shopping was great and going to be great! Indulged myself with a pair of Levi's Jeans, an Armani Exchange shirt and a pair of Vans Classic Slip-On shoes. *grinz* You can really get good deals in Factory Outlets. I don't mind buying from factory outlets. At least I know there aren't fakes around.

Next stop, I'll head to San Francisco. Woohooo, is that city of romance? How romantic for me to hold my mom's hand and watch sunset at the golden gate bridge? *lovely* By then, Patrick will be a happy boy as he's still considering whether or not to get his iPod Video over there. As I said, electronics are cheap over here!

Darn, my stomache is growling. It's 6.46 pm (Sunday) equivalent to 6.46 am (Monday) in Malaysia. Time for me to grab dinner now. Updates to come!

*P/s: If you're (you'll know who you are) reading this, I'll be online from 7 pm time till 12 am(canadian time) and sometimes few moments in the morning.

Remembering you always.....

After quite some hours of struggling and screaming silently with pain, my grandmother went into a coma. Not for long, hours later, she had finally departed from all of us. Peacefully finding eternity at the other side.

She passed away on 2nd of April 2006 at 3.55 a.m. All of us went to her final resting place at Ijok (Kuala Selangor) from Johor Bahru. I know that I might not be very close to you, I don't even know how to speak a sentence of Hokkien or even when you saw me coming in to your ward last Saturday that you could barely recognise me, however, your spirit will always be all in our hearts. You were the one who tightens this family's relationship. Without you, we might not be seeing each other that often as usual.

May God bless your soul, grandma.

Yours sincerely,
Patrick
(Your beloved grandson)
