Epic June

2011-07-24T19:57:00.000-07:00

Epic June i shall name it, probably gonna be the best month of the year~!

Two mega super duper event for June.

5 years anniversary over at MBS!

Phyllis and i decided to celebrate our 5th year together over at the Marina Bay Sands. I would say that, although there were minor issues that eventually brought us complimentary breakfast and long island tea, overall it was an memorable awesome trip. The "Infinity pool that is very cool" was lovely, certainly a good experience swimming so high up into the sky, pretty cold though. We also settle our dinner at a lovely restaurant named "wild rocket". Althought the infamous "Laksa Pasta" was disappointing, the other dishes was superb, especially the desserts, must try!

Its been a long while since we pamper ourselves, its always about saving for this and that, but it was all good, for the experience, its all worth it.

BITES Taiwan trip!

Much as been blog, posted and written on this trip. Simply awesome! From this trip, i feel that BITES is really like a family, a 9 days trip that went so smoothly, its hard to bring 9 person together going on a trip without much friction, it takes alot of understanding and give-and-take.

And of course, its great to meet up with Xue Bin, Desmond, and their fur-child Xiao Xue. After spending 9 days with XX, i guess i finally understand how close can a human be with a pet, licking you all over your hands, legs, and even face. But still, its not easy and it takes alot of commitment to decide to have a pet, and i would say i am not ready for it, looking at my schedule, i have hardly enough time for me to sleep and taking time of for another commitment is just sheer impossible.

Taiwan is so much fun, and definitely not the last trip to Taiwan for me!

People come and go

2011-05-30T21:51:00.000-07:00

Okay so i guess the election post for the month of May doesn't justify a good post since i will only blog once a month. While doing my random afternoon/morning soul searching and reflection. This thing came back to my mind once again. At times i will be hit by it, and always wanted to blog or write about it, so why not. Squeezing out the little time i had in between of my camp stuffs to write and maybe reflect deeper into it. This is not a plan out entry, and it will be lotsa repetition and its gonna be very unstructured and messy.

"People come and go"

Well, everyone heard about it and this is not stranger to everyone, yes, people do come and leave in phrases of our life. Some of them leave us with great memories and some give us a hell of a shit that makes us stronger. Some started off happily and others just ended so abruptly. Everyone is unique and it is because of the people around us, and the experience we faced and shared that shape us to who we are now.

*Random pause to consolidate my thoughts.

*Went to do some book reference that i couldn't recall, though i couldn't find it, but luckily the phrase pops back up again!

As some of you may know by now, or is there even anyone else that reads my blog apart from BITES?, that i also coach guys on dating and relationship issues, it's always the few issues that revolves around.

"Your map is not the territory"

This is a NLP presupposition that I've learned during my Basic Practitioner certification. The map being your knowledge and what you know of a particular situation or generally in life, which is limited by its size and the end of the map. That being said, although it is a representation of the territory, but it doesn't show the full picture. And one's "MAP" may defers from the other. So we don't always see the same picture as the other party. Just like in a relationship, your assumption of relationship may defers from who the party perceives.

Which brings us to the next point that why some relationship ended badly and how come the others gives you a "happy ending" feeling.

I am referring to "relationship" as in broadly, not directing to BGR, it could be friendship and all.

Because of the hidden realm of our perception in the "build up" relationship, which is often unspoken, at time, we might take it too seriously or lightly. And that might cause conflicts between each other. For example, in lay man terms, like you rank this person as your best friend or someone special, but to him, you are just a good friend and friend that hangs out well with him. Due to this, how you treat each other and expect how you are to be treated maybe different. And often this drift friendship apart. And this is also why, some people can easily say good bye to a friendship/relationship while others find it so hard to let go.

Oh well, i guess i also start to get lost in whatever i am trying to say but to end this. I would like everyone to listen to this song, and understand the lyrics.

Which brings me to the conclusion. At the end of the day, what really matter most? To me its the experience, and that how they have change and taught me to be who i am now. And just like how the song ends, "As long as we remember" is all we need to know. Even though we can stop talking to our old friends from the primary, secondary school and poly, if we once share that awesome feeling and moments of fun and laughter together and that we remember them dearly always is probably just good enough to look back and smile. :)

Cheers to my super awesome busy yet fulfilling month of may as i embark into the shiokness madness month of June with my MBS stay, good food, and not forgetting the BITES Taiwan Trip!!!

Election

2011-05-06T04:25:00.000-07:00

April has been one of the busiest month ever, with exams to study, increase in work load as i took over CSM, and increase in photography services. Lotsa up and many downs in this month. I will pull it through.

For the month of April, i shall delicate this post for the election on the points i learn and understand from this election.

Hey everyone, i just wanna "pen" down what i learn and understand from this election.

‎3 main learning points from this election.

1) Fault Finding, Big Complaining does not equals to ability to run a country.

Everyone can complain about someone being sucky, his flaws, and his weakness. But whats the point of doing so?

From where i come from, and what i have believe in, by bringing down someone doesn't make you a better person, in fact, when someone do that to me, i see fear in them, if not, why will one bother about doing so, is it because you have nothing good to talk about at yourself? In order to improve, one must constantly find ways to upgrade themselves. Just by spending time studying about other's flaw and carefully point out every mistake doesn't make you stronger, or look stronger. Its just a smear tactic to down play others for your benefit.

If you hate what Girl A do, doesn't mean you must love Girl B, but instead you should try to change Girl A

2) You are who you are because of what you do.

The world can hate you, not favor you, give you shit, but ultimately its what you do what brings you to where you are now. Stop blaming this and that.

You see, your wealth doesn't come to you, thats so much others can do for you, and the end of the day, you need to start working and bring yourself together and come out with a plan for yourself in whatever situations you are in, and bring the best out of you!

FYI: Everyone that study business would know that to measure the average income of a particular group, country. The correct and the most accurate representation is by using "median" and not "mean" If everyone income is close to the mean average of Singapore, we must be running a communist state.

3) If people really care so much, they dont have to want till rally to show their concern.

You will fight for what you want, like how the gays always and all year round fighting for your rights. Petition can be made, speech could be made, points could be brought up ALL year round.

Honestly, since when the majority cares about the poverty, if you do, whats your donation like per year? Do you even have monthly donations to help the needy? Or do you even drop in your coins for canned drinks in those charity cans? Dont just talk big big as though they mean the world to you. Lets see after the rallies, will anyone still fight for what they yearn for?

Since when the majority cares about freedom of speech, like honestly. You keep quiet the past 5 years and suddenly these all concern you? When the SDP got jailed for fighting for what they believe, you laugh and think that they are mad. And now suddenly they have so much supporters i certainly hope that even they didn't get elected, the so called "supporters" will not forget about them.

I have learned a lot from this election, whether or not, whoever wins. This certainly helps me to understand how strange and weird humans (or as least singaporeans) are.

The incongruence between what you say, what you feel, and what you stand for is just too big of a differences.

I will fight more the what i believe, which is the over-reliant on and overly emphasized Meritocracy system in Singapore, while pursuing my degree i dare say that education level is not everything, i study because i love it, and not "paper chasing", whatever i am planning to do next doesn't even need a degree. I will do it in my own way, by spreading the importants of EQs, and social skills, by teaching others how to own the highly educated people by being able to read and understand others better, and i will do these things ALL YEAR ROUND, not just for the 9 days in a particular campaign.

Cheers and much loves.

March Blog

2011-04-14T07:10:00.000-07:00

Okay, this blogging is done at Starbucks, got stuck here, raffles city. Was suppose to head to peninsula shopping center to alter my jeans, follow by doing some research and look around for a camera "SBO" for my actual-dat wedding shoots. totally ruin my plan, stupid rain!

Took this time to arrange stuffs in my phone and while I am going through my notes, I realize that I miss out blogging for the month of march!! So maybe the universe trap me here to fulfill one of my resolution for the year which is to update my blog monthly.

Month of march, pretty epic and busy month, lotsa ups and 1x major down!!!

Let's talk about the down first....
I FREAKING FAIL MY DRIVING TEST!! AHHH!!

And yes, I've failed badly. I guess I place too much pressure on myself, and for that, I was epic nervous. Can you just imagine how funny is the sight when I hold a half clutch, my leg literally shake like some techno shit!! Haha! I was shock to see my leg shaking as well. Due to the fact that I am always pretty confident about myself and I've put in alot of effort in it, so naturally I thought that I would ace it as usual, just like the other things I do. Sadly, this did not go the way I want it to be. I was super affected by it for about 1 hour straight. I can't believe how is it possible for me to make those mistake that I had never commit before! When into a straight on 'reactive' mode. Total depress, anger, and confuse. I rmb that I even punch the lift wall to release my tension. Went straight home which I was actually totally prepare to head out and celebrate.

Turn on my fan and sat on my sofa. And then I reflect, and I tell myself to get out of this reactive state. For someone who preach on being proactive and always telling everyone that we have the power to make a change in our life, empower ourselves, I should LIVE UP TO WHAT I PREACH. this is the ultimately test, and in the matter of mins, I get my state back to normal, face reality and pull my mood together again. I post a pic of my epic 38 points result on facebook to show to the whole world and also act as a constant reminder to myself that how I change from reactive to taking charge of my emotions whenever I look at the photo.

And yes, once again, I am proud to say that I don't teach bullshit, and I live up to what I preach. :)

Anyways since I am touching on this. My next seminar will be in July, "The Forensic of an Alpha Male" success all the way and FTW!!!

With regards to photography, it has been an awesome month! My effort pays off. I have super lots of enquiries, and many confirmation. 2 in May, around 2/3 more in the last quarter of the year!! Hurray!!! And I will carry on BELIEVING and the universe shall make me SEE results like never before!

Just in case I forget to update during my April's blog entry. I am proud to be an "L-coholic"!! Woohoo! My first canon L lens, canon 24-70L F2.8!! Super heavy and awesome! Many more lenses to come. ;)
Remember...
LOVING WHAT YOU DO = ENJOYING = SATISFACTION = AWESOME AND POSITIVE RESULTS!!!!

So 2 main and major event took place in march,

1) PHYLLIS love birthday!!

Ever since I was enlisted to army, I had never gotten a chance to meet my love on the actual day on her bday, as much as this has been a big bothering thingy for her, It kills me badly as well. The idea of not being there for her is just too much to swallow especially for 4 years straight. Although I have planned many awesome bday for her with the help of my friends. Nothing beats being there physically for your love one, and finally, for this year I was there, together with her, on her bday :) It was a fun-filled weekend with clubbing and sun tanning. And I hope my love enjoyed herself this year. :)

!!!!!HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

2) Surprise visit from my buddy, DESMOND HENG!!!

I was trapped in camp due to my newly enlisted recruits, and that weekend, BITES celebrated Pei Xin bday. And suddenly Xue Bin and Desmond pops out from no where and surprise them! Everyone was happy just by their presence alone. Heard that the girls cried and probably I might cry as well if I was there since I can even cry on their wedding, so it wasn't gonna be a surprise anyways, haha!

And they are gonna spend a week in Singapore. The thing is I am trap in the bloody camp! And I really wanna meet them! Ahhh...

Ohhhh truck....

Eventually, after my Wednesday class, I went clubbing that night at butter and ask Desmond to come as well. Along with Wee Kiat, Alvin, we had the time of our life! Dancing, drinking, going crazy, just like the good old times. There was not even a moment of awkwardness or what so ever, as soon as we meet up, it was straight "back to the good old days". After clubbing we went to Mac, chatted for a long while. It was just super awesome to meet up with Desmond and I simply can't wait to party again in June at TAIWAN!!!! Woohoo!!!

Met Xue Bin just before they took off the following day. Bought her the infamous "SHIOK MAKI" haha!! Hope that she like the little surprise! Much loves from Singapore to the Heng family!! (which includes Xiao Xue, let's hope she likes us!)

That's all for now, I think the rain is stopping in mins, gonna rush to alter my jeans before fetching my love from work and MUG for exams!!! Ahhhh!!!! let's hope I pass my exams with flying colors!

BUSY LIFE = LOTSA ACHIEVEMENT = ULTIMATE SHIOKNESS!

Feb 2011 The scope

2011-02-28T08:54:00.001-08:00

Okay, cheated a little, its the last day of feb, or more like 1st day of march since its past 12.

Anyways, lotsa things happen in this month, and i kinda forget about some stuffs that i wanna blog but totally forget about it! Super busy month, lotsa enquiries on wedding photography, enquires for may, june, sept, oct, nov, and dec! Although most not confirm yet, but i am super happy to see progression and how things are coming into place. March is gonna be fun with one birthday shoot and one actual wedding videography. Its my first actual day videography, lets hope i do well!! :D so exicited.

So i am only left with yet again 4 hours of sleep so i gonna finish this fast.

The Scope

It all started 3 to 5 years ago, when i start to shit out a little blood, went to see a lot of doctors, all of them said that i am okay and i worry too much. "Diagnostic" from cut in asshole, piles and even suspecting that i inserted a foreign object into my asshole! WTF!

So recently it got a little worst and after much nagging from my mum and phyllis, i have decided to go for any check up, the doctor suspect that the bleeding is a little too much and doesnt tele with my tiny piles, so book me an appt for a scope to make sure that everything is all good before closing my case.

To "cut" the whole story short, they discover a polyp in my large intestine, its a typical abnormal growth commonly found inside the human body, except for the fact that while the rest is 3mm, mine is approximately 3cm! Doctor cut it down and sent it to the lab to check, the result is out and it turns out to be a little cancerous.

At first, when i heard the news, i didnt have much reaction, or maybe i just couldnt register the fact at all. After awhile later, reality sets in and i just found myself having a cancerous cell cut out from my body! This is overwhelming, doctor even said that this is a blessing in disguise, if i wouldnt have insisted in the check, and if this polyp is not discover and not remove in one or two years time, most probably it will develop into a cancerous polyp, and the consequences will be crazy. From now till forever, as long as i am still in the world, i have to go for yearly scope to check out my intestine to make sure that the growth is completely removed and not growing back.

This incident really makes me think a lot about my life.

Life is so venerable, one moment you are laughing, playing and having the time of your live, and the next thing you know, you can down with such a big tragic.

Somehow, i take it so positively. I feel that this is a sign, a sign for me to get my mind straighten up and stop procrastinating. It gives me a bigger assurance that what i am doing is right since life is so venerable, you should only live to do the things you like, even if it doesnt gives you big bucks. I am now more convinced then ever that i should leave the force as soon as possible and pursue on the things i love. Like my education, photography, videography and magic. I should stop procrastinating and start writing my books and doing up my videography.

I have learnt a lot from this polyp of mine. And now i finally understand and empathize how those people felt when they recover from some illness and decided to change the course of their life. And of course, i treasure everyday of my life more than ever.

Cheers
Benny Ong

See you next month Blog.

1st post for 2011

2011-01-10T07:49:00.000-08:00

Moving and looking ahead, 2011 is a very crucial for me. For this i have come out with my 2011 New Year Resolution.
Very demanding and i know i have to do it, to change for the better, theres a price to pay.

Change is Pain, i will take all pain as a process and not an obstacle. I will work hard and tell myself that i would achieve more that what i have achieved in 2010. And for this....

I came out with my MANTRA for 2011

"EVERYDAY COUNTS"

why? because everyday counts! Fo those who have already know of my future plans, i will be leaving the force in 1yr and probably 3+months time. And that is a really short period of time left before i get everything up and ready for me to transit to a smooth sailing life that i would love.

During 2010, there are some months that i was very down and decided not to think about anything and just let times flows by, and true enough, those months just sail past and i achieved nothing, just nothing. I would want to and will try my best to stop this thing from happening. No time for such breaks!!!!

And okay,

2011 Resolutions!!!!!
(Okay more like things to be achieved by this year)

1. Want to blog at least once every month.

2. Get my Driving License

3. Pass all my RMIT modules and make it through smoothly

4. Conduct my Social Ace Seminars, TWO!!!!!

5. Set up my website for Colliding Luster and also prep for the website for Social Ace

6. Start plan and execution of the Academy of Social Magic Artistry

7. Get my name card done up

8. Do up at least 4 photo shoot

9. Solidify Social Ace and Social Magic

10. Continue to give thanks to others, use sandwich model more often, SEE the GOOD intention behind every action

11. Start 20% of Social Magic and 40% of Social Ace

12. Plan of Social Ace Education for schools

Okay, thats about it now, i know theres more that i want to achieve, will add in if its real important. From the look of it, i know that it is got to be a busy year ahead, and with my new posting to 3SIR, it doesn't makes it any easier.

"Everyday Counts!" so i need to get everything plan out swee and start to execute them.

At times i really felt that i give myself alot alot of pressure. Like i feel like i need a break of something, but i have no time for that! 1 year left, so many so many to achieve.

I CAN DO IT!!!! AHHH!!!!

2010

2011-01-10T07:37:00.000-08:00

2010

What a meaningful year, i have achieve so so much, meet so many new friends and live up to what i plan for during 2009

Everything somehow go into place and as how it plan it.

"Make it happen" was my mantra for the year and it was certainly a milestone for me!

-My Art and Science of Social Dynamic

-2 Actual Wedding Shoot, and alot of assignment,

-Started my Driving License

-Secured so many photo shoot for this year.

-Enrolled into my Bachelor program

and these are just some of the things i could thought of offhand. In fact i achieved more that what i plan out to do.

In particular my NLP which increase and made me gain so much skills and new awareness to my surroundings and my behavior and being. I am confident enough to say that, due to this amazing 2010, i found myself, i see what i wanna do for the rest of my life. So many things seems so possible now!

After lazy my life away, spending whatever i could earn for the past few years, i finally got my life straight, start to make plans, and making those plans come to life, and already achieving great results!

Love my 2010!!!! And i will always remember 2010, it marks an important year that show to me that, with determination, discipline, the right attitude and planning all the actionables, alot of things is POSSIBLE.

Looking back there is many people i would love to thank and as i make a promise to myself before. I would give thanks and acknowledge and credit to those who have help me in one way of another. :)

End Course

2010-10-12T06:28:00.000-07:00

I think today's a good day.

First and foremost, its our anniversary! 4yrs 4mths! much love! :)

And also today's the last day of my coaching and facilitation course, learn alot from this lesson and comes very handy because in two weeks time, i will be holding a 2 Days NLP lesson for the Commanders in BMTC.

1 area that i am very lack in skills in is Facilitation, and attending this course really gives me insights on how to hold a facilitation lesson with a more systematic approach, and allows me to prep myself better before the lesson.

Well as mention earlier, today's the last day of my course and like any other courses, we would have to do a check out.
For this course i was introduced to something interesting and i like it as it helps to express our gratitude to the other course mate in a unique way.

So how does it goes?
As the participants, we have to "give" an imaginary gift to our group mate and explain the purpose or the meaning behind the gift.:)

So for me, here are the imaginary Gifts that i "received"!!!!

-A Blank Book from Ivan
For me to write down all my theories and ideas down into a book and according to him, it will be a hot sell!!!

-A Best Camera in the World from Christina
For me to capture down all the best moments of my life and further my Photography advancement!!!!

-An unlimited space Memory Card from Andy
For my to save ALL my thoughts, learnings and sharings down so that i can pass around and share with everyone!

-An IPAD from Asmi
Which is precisely what i wanted!!! And its for me to share my photography works to share with everyone and to edit and store the pictures!

-1 DAY OFF!!! from Akmal
For the pass few days, Akmal is the only person in the course i complain about all the crazy amount of arrows that i was given! And after clearing the few major ones, seriously, its time for me to take a break and rest.

Talking about resting and relax, i've already come out with the game plan, gonna go clubbing with Alvin and Wee Kiat to dance away the stress and later part of the week or next week, meeting alvin up for Sushi!!!

Shiok Maki, here we come!!!!!!!!!!!

Photography updates!

2010-10-12T06:04:00.000-07:00

After Ross blog about how most of the BITES blog has been outdated for a long while, it certainly intrigued me to start blogging again and to keep my blog to date :)

But i have got very GOOD reason for me to not blog! And the reason is.... LAZINESS!

Yes! Laziness! Been super duper busy with alot of works.
From arrows like a Farewell Video for my Boss, which takes up super loads of time
Till Company Biggest ever Cohesion...

And not forgetting my personal commitment like my Recent Pole Dance Photo Shoot

Do visit www.facebook.com/collidingluster for my photography updates!

To the Star Search photo shoot.

So privilege to be one of the Top 20 to be selected from the thousands of application!

The Shoot is a real challenge, We have a total of 5 Couple to shoot, and only 10mins per couple!
Just imaging by the time you get the lightings and the settings right, you only left with 5 mins for the composition!
But i like this challenge, somehow it gives me a competitive advantage as i am real quick and good on actual day event photo shoot, so i am all good!

Here are some shoot from the Star Search Contest that i send to compete with the rest! haha!

Knn....

2010-08-10T17:50:00.000-07:00

Need to blog this before i go for my rest, seriously cannot take it man.

Was ask to help out with a major event (for free), they need my photography expertise, in terms of actual day shooting and also advice on the direction of the photography and also the "how-to" for the rest to teach them how to shoot on the day.

KNN number 1

Tell me that the shots have to be directional towards a certain theme, and message he wants to project for the articles. Sounds real good, because it only make sense to shoot with meaning. The shit comes when he tell to that i have to shoot chunk by chunk of the whole thing. Like theres 13 big groups in the whole event. So i have and must shoot them as a whole. Like seriously, whats that for man? What kind of direction is that, and best he ask me whether i have the "spot light" to shoot the huge crowd.

"Spot light" WTF, damn lame lah, i cant believe i am engaging into a "photo" talk to some "zero clue of photography" guy. He tell me that's the way to shoot big group on the move, must be able to see all the faces then is a good photo!!!! WTH man!!! wahaahahah!!!!

KNN number 2

He actually wants to vet through my shots!!! Ask me to go out weekend to shoot and night with my "special" camera and let he see. OMFG, theres no magic camera to what i am using man, like WTH "Special" camera with "Spot light" wahhahaha.

I cant believe that apart from my super busy schedule, still have to take on this. Hire (actual not hire, its free labour!!!) me for advice, help and support and still have to vet through my shots! Its is the first time i heard of that man!!!!

I think after this, i might just stop doing all this extra things for this organisation that doesnt appreciate. Do they even know that people have to actually pay for all this services!!!!

Choice and Regrets

2010-08-04T08:41:00.000-07:00

Just wanna share my thoughts, beliefs and theory on Choices and Regrets.

Guided with this principle and decided to "pen" it down and share it!

So, its pretty simple.

Always make a stand or choice when you have choiceS

Procrastination is the ultimate cost. People procrastinate due to alot of reasons.
Fear - In making the wrong choice
Confidence - In believing and trusting that you will make a calculate and correct decision.

What happen to a lot of us is that once we misses the opportunities and choices, and we will take what you are left with and find all reasons to support it, but unknown to everyone, you will live with the feeling of regrets or keep thinking that things would have to be different.

Complex? Haha, guess it's due to my poor command in English.

Okay, let me give you an example.

Like a guy who is dating a girl.
In the stage whereby the girl is interested in him and its the time to pop the golden intent.
Option1--- Ask her out, show her, tell her his intent and let fate path the rest, whether its a yes or no
Option2--- Maybe she's not suitable, after consideration and "Lets just be friends"

So what happen to this guy, he waited, procrastinated, fear of rejection makes him think twice about stretching the relationship, fear of making the "friend" choice as he might not know maybe they are possible. So he waited and live by the excuse of "lets just take it slow and see where it leads to"

So eventually, the girl got so pissed of these grey area shit and send him a long text about how she hated the timidness and couldn't she herself as his girlfriend anymore.

And the guy, just live with the fact that probably they are not fated, at least that's how you elicit to everyone.

You see my friends out there. Probably he knew that fact that he blew it up but just couldn't live with it. If he would have make a mental decision that they should be friends or go for it, even though the result might still be same thing, "friends" status, but things would have been so different. Because he will know he choose it, and that's what he wanted rather than being stuck with no choice but to stick with whats left.

So, Make a DECISION before its too LATE, set an INTENTION, make an ACTION.

Even if its a failure, at least you know you have tried.
And you will live life the way you want it without regrets.
Don't leave it to "Fate", "Chance"
Take Charge, choose what you want, not whats left out there.
Don't live life finding excuses for your stupidity and lack of control of your destiny.
Own your life. Without regrets.

Aura

2010-08-03T23:36:00.001-07:00

Always have all those comment ready to be post on facebook, so this time round, i decided not to do so!!! Better blog all these precious memories down. And like what my friend, XB, is going to do; print all the blog entries!

And so AURA

While training with my recruits, i realise a certain trend, whenever when i am around, standing right in front of them, somehow, they will suddenly remember all the procedures and stuffs, like suddenly by fear or what not, they will recall all the facts and execute all the drills correctly!

Haha, its truly amazing!

Straight after that, i approached a recruit and use a indirect "tattoo" opener and i DHV and Neg him, oh WAIT WAIT WAIT, PAISEH, went off track!!!

Okay one more time.
Straight after that, i approached one of my recruits and jokingly make a statement that every time i go close to them, suddenly everything will turn out right and things and done efficiently and effectively. To my amaze, he actually agree with it and said that the whole platoon always have this common joke about the "SGT BENNY's AURA", the platoon actually felt the same way, whenever i am around i always gives of an aura that makes them feel confident and motivated and things always works well!

Wow! that's new!

So this further concur on my beloved statement.
YOU CANNOT NOT INFLUENCE

Yup, that's right(With the babarella slang from noose). You have no choice at all, you cannot not influence, you are always affecting and influencing everyone around you.

The only choice you have is whether you wanna make the effect to influence positively or negatively, influencing them with the positive vibe, with the right attitude, with the right frame of conversation you wanna enter to.

And this influence is not by any chance, coincidence or luck. It will only be all these if you leave it to fate,and to whatever comes around. There are ways and methodology to make a change in your life and in others. And through my studies and certification in NLP i discover it. I discover a formula and methods on how to effective influence one non-verbally.

And chemistry, wavelengths and same freqencies are not just coincidence but calculate ways that one can learn to improve relationship with everyone.

Which links to my objective of the next quarter, my next seminars

Power Coversationalist
Forensic of an Alpha Male
A.C.E methodology
Unleashing Actual Strength Within

So stay tune of my seminar, and do invite and promote to your friends :) And also do attend as well~! its gonna be great!

:)

Cheers,

Bye Desmond

2010-07-29T05:46:00.000-07:00

On the way back from my 4 days field camp, was thinking of where to go tonight, have a break, probably a drink or meet up with some friends.

So the first thing i thought of is to call up desmond. So i pick up my phone, and search through my phonebook to Desmond's number, and suddenly i realise that he is now in Taiwan. Hopefully can see my buddy soon, next year, looks like he is doing well there! :D

Went to send him off on 24 July 2010, stupid sudden 10km run that we have to attend in the morning at east coast park. Tried a new way of running, apparently it can prevent injuries from my day to day jogging and exercising. Didnt know that i need to condition my legs for it! Super duper pain! But i felt that it really helps to make me run more effectively, without training, i ran 53mins for 10km! Not bad for someone who didnt train and hit one of my best timing.

After the run my legs are arching like mad! Even after cool down, it didnt help much! So met up with love and head down to Changi Airport to see Desmond and the BITES. Good to know that my bro is going there for good, i am sure theres lotsa fun and joy over there! Lets hope probably year end i can drop by to shop, club, photography in Taiwan!!!

The Ring, Cert, and Status

2010-07-21T05:11:00.000-07:00

While browsing through facebook and watching my all-time fav Ninja Warrior, something suddenly struck my mind. It is related to a pair of rings, Certificate, and the Status, THATS Right! Marriage, sealing the deal. Then again i am active in wedding photography so been looking at couple getting together.

Sometimes, i wonder why do some couple go forward for the commitment.

What is the meaning and the intent behind getting married?

1)To move on to the next stage of their lifes together?

2)To Show the world that they are attach?

3)To show your promise and commitment to each other

4)To lock someone up? Seal the deal fast in case things go wrong

And for others like my dearest best friend, Desmond and Xue Bin, together for like 8 years, finally seals the deal and also to move over to taiwan together!

Then there are always others that you just dont understand. Maybe its like an insurance, maybe its for security, or fear of losing... I dont know, but i cant help but felt pointless, meaningless or even disgusted by the action and the unknown intention.

YOUR MAP IS NOT THE TERRITORY

By this saying, it means that everyone has their own perspective on looking at the same issues. So as much as i felt uncomfortable, it has to be a mutual agreement before they reach to the consciences and so all the best to those couple. :)

Well, for me it about settling down, moving towards the next stage of the relationship (start my own family).

For that being said, means that i have to be ready, mature enough to move on, and willing to drop things behind and sacrifice and changing my priority in life.

I take this very seriously and unless i see, feel, understand, fully convince and reach the level of maturity, i will not just step in just because the time is up.

Priority in life is still the same as of now, i need to get my degree and career up first.

I have gave myself a dead line, by my completion of my degree course which is in 2012 dec, if i still cannot get my dreams going. I will stop dreaming and settle down on a job. If not, i would really want to pursue my social dynamic, magic and photography.

Alot of people thinks that i am crazy and all, but my dream is to live in a condo, and i will do it. I can picture myself doing what i like and living a lifestyle that i deserve.

Hope those friends reading my blog have a great great week ahead.
Anyways, i like the idea of printing out the blog which what XB mention in hers, i think i might do it too!!

Cheers! :D

Letting go

2010-07-15T20:05:00.000-07:00

After a lot of thoughts and time taken out for some soul searching, i realise and finally digest the saying, "Letting Go"

On the book, Small Giant by Bo Billingham

"Yet the most successful they are achieving what they want, the more difficult it is for them, to stay on course. Because of their success, they find themselves faced with so many opportunities that it takes a conscious effort on their part to keep them from heading off in the wrong direction."

Once I read the paragraph, i got so intrigue by it. Seems like it is directly shooting at me. I was so taken aback by it.

I think that the constant effort is to stay true to yourself, and what you like and love.

My Loves. (Apart from my girl)
-Coaching
-Teaching
-Magic
-Singing (performing)
-Photography
-Social Dynamics

Gonna place more focus on Social Dynamics and photography this quarter.

"Sadest" part about it is that i know i have to let go, but its really hard to let go of something that you know you will do well in it, something that you love, and when it keeps coming back to haunt you, you cant help but to carry on with it.

Like an old saying, i am someone who "lives behind an old glory".
Its time to make a change.
Either i let go and create new "glory" and live with it!

Canon 7D

2010-07-15T19:59:00.001-07:00

Here comes my Canon 7D, was a quick purchase, couldn't be bothered to hunt and bargain for low price, i don't see the point of wasting so much time and effort just to save that $50 or so.

Reminds me of those time i bargain in Bangkok, super lame to think back! haha! Like bargaining for 50Baht which is just $2!!!

Loving my Canon 7D, feels and look good, luckily its has the same feel with my previous love. A little heavier, but its all good, love the weight!

Instantly shoot a 30sec clip on it!

Lets hope that this will bring my photography and videography to a new found greater height! (Just realise after spell check that videography is not a proper word!)

My (no longer) Canon 40D love

2010-07-13T08:02:00.000-07:00

Been extremely lazy to blog, but realise that if i dont, lotsa memory will soon fade away, really dont want it to happen.

Seminar went well lotsa learnings! Just realise that i have even more, like tons for unfinished business to complete to get everything in place.

So todays post.

Canon 40D

This is consider my first digital SLR, as my previous one is share with my bro and most of the time hes using it. Really love it, was a perfect purchase then, good price, comes with a kit lens so as the price depreciate, at least i can sell the kit lens to cover back the price. Pervious owner was a total bimbo noob, shutter count just a 3000, really under utilize, guess that just make me the 1st proper owner of this baby.

We went through alot...

Weddings, Pre-wed, all the sweat and sometimes blood, all the shoulder aches it gave me.

Remember cambodia? I was holding you like almost 24/7, 4am till 8pm. after that was dinner, drink, chat and sleep.

Trekking down 2+ km just to shot the underwater ruins.

Best purchase, never regretted buying it. Things changes, i am into videography now, and i cant afford to buy a new camera, i need to fund of the new Canon 7D, so i have to let you go.

Everyone might be thinking, this guy is crazy, emo over a camera, but no one knows how much i love this camera, its been with me, alot commented that its not the best, yes, it was never the best, but look at what we did together, our shots are perfect. Every control of the camera is under my finger tip. And i find it strange as well.

It was all okay, even after confirming the deal, traveling home. But the moment i took out the camera, and the sinking feeling just hit me, its like the camera feel sad as well. As i look at it, i cant help but getting a mental visualization of all the times i went out shooting with it. And i seems like i refuse to part with me, like it took me so hard to find the charger when i just use it recently, the batt was not around and all. I decide to use my iphone to take some pics of it, looking through the camera, the user marks tell stories that only i understand.

But my mind was fixed, i need to fund for my new cam, its for the better good.

And finally when i meet up with the person, my camera actually broke down after i fix the battery grip, the whole display become jumpy, and the command dial screw up, suddenly it cant turn and i have to force it to turn. But after 5mins, everything went back to normal.

Made the deal, and now i am looking forward to purchase my Canon 7D, although its a sad thing that i have to let go my Beloved 40D, but its not a rush decision, because eventually it have to go.

Lets pray that my soon to come 7D is as good as my ex. :D

Not the one but as one

2010-05-23T08:08:00.000-07:00

Learning lesson, as i was sharing with my OC on the Leadership and Values lesson that i conducted for the recruits, i realise that i undermind my recruits, which makes me feel really bad about it. Some from now on i should trust them more and open and willing to share more things with them.

NOT THE ONE BUT AS ONE

Learn to stop being competitive and start playing as a team...

Children having Fun, While we are holding Guns

2010-05-21T09:38:00.000-07:00

Its always during these moments we revisit our inner self and start to ponder and question about your decision in life.

While everyone is having fun, i am here, stuck in this island, training my new boys.

Oh well, and of course i wouldn't want to go back in time and change whatever decisions I've made, as i know that it will change what i have and who i am now and most important my appreciation and understanding in life.

But this certainly inspire and remind me to plan towards my brighter future that i envision. Ever since April, my life took a major shift, after planning and eliciting for so many many years about what i want and who i want to be.. FINALLY, i took action, breaking down every aspects of my plans, getting them into actionable and most importantly, pressing the "START" button, this time, more words but accompanied with actions.

With 3 of my 4 main pillars of Colliding Luster in the initial phrase, I am very confident that by the mid of next year, i would be able to see clear stepping paths and i know those paths will lead me to my Ultimate 3 Priorities in life.

By the end of this year, i am committed to the launch of Social.Ace and also my collaboration project, AMBA.

What I've said before i left the Magic Scene is not just bullshit, i am coming back like what i I've predict, this time round, bigger and stronger, the Magic Scene might shake a little with my introduction of the various new concept.

Newly equipped with the NLP knowledge and my realist attitude, my Social Dynamic have move on into a holistic brand new concept and theories. ACE methodology and the A.C.E communication model is by far the most advance sets of model created in the Social Dynamic scene and also the pick-up scene. "Art and Science of Social Dynamic" is just the 1st installation of Social Ace, i have big plans ahead, and soon they will be release. :)

This two years is going to be a struggle and the most busiest part of my life, and i am sure that it is going to pull off real well and i can already see myself as a contented guy.

Cheers!
Benny Ong

Desmond and Xue Bin Weding

2010-03-22T22:12:00.000-07:00

This one must blog!

That's what i tell myself...

Long have we waited for this day the come, ever since they were together for 4 years, question on when they are getting married has always be lingering around our daily lives...

There is this saying goes, "You will only know who are your true friends if the relationship is tested"

For me, yesterday, 22nd March 2010, was like "You will only know who much your friends mean to you once you are being tested"

Throughout is whole Wedding process, although i was not fully planning the process (give thanks to Ross, if not for Ross, this wedding wouldn't be so perfect), but i was constantly very very worried for them, about the process, about the whole program on their actual wedding day. And especially Desmond's speech, i know that he have alot of people to thank and eventually, everything turns out very well, getting the acknowledgment from his sec teachers and his superiors.

The moment i know that i will possibly be crying during that evening was when i was hugging Xue Bin and Desmond after their Solemnization. During the Ceremony, it was indeed a very heart warming experience. When the Justice of Peace is speaking, i cant help to reflect back on the many many years of their relationship, about those memorable moments... Like the times when i was summon to settle their problems, and the sweet sweet moments when i was looking at them during our overseas trip. My tears almost fell off after hugging them and then i realise, i still have my best man speech to do.

I specially change that typical Kitaro 1st dish entrance song.... (Random sentence)

After Desmond did his rehearsal on stage, i know he was gonna pull off a great speech. Next, my best man speech, after practicing and correcting the speech i am pretty sure that i will do a good one.

Ross manage to finish her speech with alil teary eyes, but she did well... Next was me, i am all ready, after the MCs script i am pretty warm up to speak on stage. Okay, why not i also add it some of my feelings and thoughts on this afternoon solemnization.. Shit it was a wrong move.... Omg... My tears is coming out... Nooo!!!! And this is how it goes... Me crying like a baby for my entire speech....

Everyone was really high after the dinner, we went to drink at living room at Marriot Hotel... Everything ended super well, tipsy and happy. I am certain that Desmond and Xue Bin will never forget this wonderful and perfectly beautifully planned out Wedding day, Desmond and Xue Bin's Wedding day.

Gone

2010-03-07T22:59:00.000-08:00

Within 2 weeks i lost my wallet follow by my iphone.

How is this fair to me?

Been working hard, care alot for my recruits, work late to ensure good and smooth training for them.

Been trying my best to treat my gf very well

Been helping out with my bestie wedding

Been trying to squeeze out time to edit pics for Val.

So how can this be fair to me?

Thats why i dont believe in god....

I need my iphone back....

Seriously, 24hours a day is simply not enough. thats why i only take 3 to 4hours of rest max for my weekdays, too many things to be done, too little time.

100KM, December.... i see you... i will complete it... and i will tattoo it on my leg.... you cant run away....

Like a Mona Lisa Painting....

2010-02-28T07:09:00.000-08:00

Like a Mona Lisa Painting...
Ever so precious, forbidden to be tested.

Once again, under great stress and lack of sleep, this thing randomly struck me.

I guess alot of things, situation and relationship in life is just like an expensive painting, a Mona Lisa Painting.

Mono Lisa painting is one of the most precious piece of artwork in the world and lotsa artist will pay and q just to get a glimpse at it, just to physically look at it and to see how it smiles back at you.

What lies beneath this wonderful imperfectly-perfect piece of art is just a sheet of paper. Just a paper, ever so vulnerable piece of artwork. Ever not able to be tested as it cant undertake any form of abuse and destruction, even a single glide across the painting by a knife could destroy everything it worth, everything it stand for.

For me a lot of things in life its like this, on the outside, a beautifully painting piece of art that project to the whole world how sweet how nice it seems, be it friendship( BUDDY, BEST FRIEND) or your relationship, BUT once you look beneath the artwork, you will realise how VULNERABLE, how SUPERFICIAL and how SURREAL everything is when you face the REALISM of life.

Some couples just choose not to face the REALISM reality and live in the SURREALISM reality and thats TOTALLY nothing wrong with that.

SURREALISM(the beautifully project art) VS REALISM (The tested reality)

E.G, given that if there is a chance, and its for free and everything will be properly arrange, will be throw a slut and test out your spouse?

OUTCOME, if your spouse reject the slut = SURREALISM live up the the REALISM reality.

OUTCOME 2 spouse accept the slut = your SURREALISM world is far from the truth, the realism world.

Imaging this, the result in OUTCOME 2 and the couple decided to break off, and both leads a separate life....

BUT BUT BUT, have you ever thought of this, what IF he is not tested, what would the outcome be, maybe the guy will never in his life meet a slut and since he will never be tested and the result is he will not cheat on his wife.

SO the irony part is that, if you dont go through the test, he might not even got a chance to cheat on his wife = they could have live happily ever after, but by actually going through it, you just destroy a perfect relationship.

SOSOSOSOSO
how does this applies to other situation??

Example 1
You dont have to destroy a Mona Lisa Painting to find out who are the true Mona Lisa fan that even if its destroy, they will still spend to buy it or visit it, the ashes of the painting. Chances are with the crazy security system in place, destroy it in simply not possible.

Example 2
You dont have a find a slut to be together with BOY 1 and then ask the slut to seduce BOY 2 to see whether the FRIENDSHIP is strong enough to restand it. Chances are the girl of your dream and being together with so many years, what are the odds that she will seduce his love one's buddy. Seriously i know it happen but what are the odds man.

So sometimes, people do avoid it and dont have an answer to situation and scenario question. BECAUSE simply there is not need to bring it to such test!

like why do people keep asking if your mum and girlfriend drop into the sea together but you only can save one. LIKE SERIOUSLY what are the odds of them going out together, dropping together, both drowning, and you only can save one not two.

COLD HARD REALITY is that some have gone through such test as it really happen despite the odds.

Some survive, like the Mona Lisa Painting, after being thrown by acid, rocks and etc. it is still able to revive and everyone is still loving it.

But, others.... just simply srewed up the beautifully painted surrealism...

Pardon me for my English, i know its bad and this topic is really confusing. Hopefully you get somethings out of it.

Yet again another blog

2010-02-24T07:52:00.001-08:00

Cant wait for Sat, woohoo, steamboat at ma place, around 10 BITES, and Mums Curry, what can be better than that!

Was having a good chat with my friends today about life and everything, stress and managing aggression.

One topic that struck me hard. He was talking about this feeling, rmb when spider man did the spidey kiss with the other girl and mary jane felt fuck up, that was what he is feeling. How Mary jane mention that its our kiss and all.

This can be apply to alot of situation in our life,

e.g. Planning to go somewhere together be it clubbing or a special first time visit to some places, and when you go all excited about going there or planning to go together, then your friends just went ahead with the idea, the best part about this is that there is no wrong about it... Cuz there is no promise or so, and seriously i dont see the problem but SOMEHOW you will just feel it, totally agree with my friend.

LOTS of Love to all!!! :D

Random

2009-12-30T06:39:00.000-08:00

Its two days to 2010.

Really lotsa things took place in this very meaningful year. This is the 1st time i am feeling sad about departing a year to next.

Especially the last quarter, photography has been picking up like never before, magic is coming back to me as well, though 1 major part of my life is been very rough, very rough, very tired, but i am still trying very hard to keep everything intact.

Sometimes, i feel that its really hard being a human in this world, gonna struggle with so much things in life and etc. Future is still a big '?" for me, as of today, i still cannot decide on whether i want to focus on my business or just get a degree and step into the working world.

Been not very productive recently as i am so ever tired, due to my working hours and my super neglected sleeping hours. Though i have not been planning any recent outings for BITES, but i am just very exhausted from work and all, just wanna go with the flow. Its wed and no plans yet, so dunno whether are we meeting.

I need someone to care about my feelings, i am so so very sick of bottling up everything. I dont wanna listen i want others to listen, to understand and care for me. I want to shout out my problems and not get more problems in return,

I am so tired of life, not that i want to kill myself, i will never do that, i am still so young...

If time permits, i would really want a break and just sleep, like really sleep, i overworked my body...

Simply to put in, even though i look at a bad ass in camp, a loud friends around everyone, i am just like other guys with problems...

I miss the happy moments in 2009, and i fear the future like never before. Sometimes i wonder do i really have friends that can share my thoughts and feelings, i mean i love all my friends, but its just that everyone seems to place me in their 3rd tier. Even though i am always loud and appear cheerful, but seriously, for the first time, i am gonna say this, its just a strong front to escape from all the problems.

Probably i can get depression easily as my mum has it, this is scientifically proven.

The only good thing about being so emo is that, i can really take good pics. So how when i am stress i can perform better than normally.

I hate it when i dont have the power to have a say, because i am not in the position to do so, due to the circumstances. I know more and i prevent i dont, just taking everything with a smile, but i dont deserve and dont have the rights to act so. And you know that...

Someone ever asked me this,"What would you wish for the coming year" that was during the last chinese new year clelebration. I said," Happiness" Happiness is nothing small and easy to achieve. It really take alot to be happy.

I know its just a stage of my life that i need to go through, i know it will be over soon as universe will guide me out of it.

1.5 hours to last day of 2009, hopefully theres a miracle that will create a thunderstorm and shed the dark clouds away asap.

Very, very meaningful song by Adam Lambert.

Hope you guys like it as much as i do. (I wonder does anyone still browse my blog? hahah)

Xmas Eve!

2009-12-24T00:19:00.001-08:00

Wokay, today is Xmas EVE, celebrating Xmas like how i love it! Homely style, just done cooking the curry, gona have lotsa food tonight that is prepared by the BITES. Its gonna be a blessful year ahead.

Good Luck to everyone for the coming year! I am gonna MISS this lovely year and everything and YOU, the few kind souls out there raeding my super low-key blog!

Gonna check my curry now!

Back alil

2009-12-20T08:47:00.000-08:00

Been awhile since i blog here, i mean a long while! Super lazy to post all the old stuffs, so i will just carry on from here and maybe update some of the old stuffs here and there.

Ever since the ending of Sept, my life have never be so busy, at least for the year.

Went Bangkok with BITES, love it! Shopping, and massages...

Cambodia to Angkor Wat, full time photography trip, woke up everyday at 4am and sleep at around 11.30pm. Tiring but its an amazing trip!

Started to do serious photography, so i set up Colliding Luster by Benny Ong. Since then been taking a few weddings, personal and couple shoots and etc. Its tiring but i am loving every bit.

Facebook srewed up my blog quite abit, realise that i should really focus on updating my blog more, as i cant really look back on the entries and etc. So need to start typing here more.

Finally after 2 BLOODY years in 1SIR, i actually love the place, the people and so use to the life there. Now that i finally got to leave the place, i am kinda sad. Love all my men, spend so much time with them, through thick and thin... Hope that everyone is doing well now.

As of tmr, i will officially be working offshore in a government military institute, where i will share my experience and guide the newly enrolled personnel on the basic knowledge of survival skills, field craft, and battle tactics, and not forgetting the core values of the organisation. In in time to come, i will hand pick the elites to send them to advance institute to be leader for others to follow.

In short, BMTC instructor... Guess it would be a love/hate thing.

Photography is doing really well, and somehow Magic keeps coming back to my life.

I am left with 2+ years to plan, decide, act and finalize what i want to do in my life. I know that i can succeed in many ways, but should i follow my heart or just be practical and safe in my decision.

Loves for my girl, as we move forward to 2010, and we are together for 3.5yrs!!!

Blogging

2009-08-17T06:23:00.001-07:00

Not been blogging and all i do is just updating of my pics, and didn't really talk much about my life and everything else. Been busy with everything, work, friends, photography, outings, and of course, spending quality time with my dearest.

BUT that's not an excuse, so i gonna start to type something now.

The thing about blogging is that you always got all those fascinating stuffs to share and those one-liner you pick and that you want to tell the world, but every time you stare right in front of your computer, you just go blank . Which is exactly what i am going through right now...

So been asking myself, why am i blogging, for who am i blogging, the reason of blogging.

Well, thought of a few reasons which keeps me going on typing.

To update my friends, which is very important, as we don't really speak much, especially my secondary school gang and my army gang, all leading a busy life, and don't really chat on the phone. So at least we get to know whats happening in every ones' life. And as usual, Alex cannot get rid of his busy adventurous life!!! haha!!!

To keep a record of what have i achieve over the past few years, have i been doing whats necessary to achieve my ultimate goals in life?

To shout out my feelings at times where that is not one there or no one i can share about certain something

Lastly, and to me, most importantly, to update and show to my dearest children about my life, and that i am not just a fierce boring guy. I want to let them know that i care for them even though they have yet step onto this world and i dont think that very sperm i produce yet. Daddy is doing this so that you could understand me more during those time when you reaches your secondary rebellious age. Been thinking and planning alot about what to share with you when you are growing up so that you do not go those stuffs that i did wrongly...

This is one of those period where you always feel stress about everything, money, relationship, health, peers and etc...

Well, i know this is a short phrase that i need to go through, once my dearest finish her studies, when i leave this forsaken job, when i am a entrepreneur, a part-time lecturer, i will be "happily ever after" of the next phrase of my life till i drop.

I will become a well-known celebrity photographer and a part-time poly lecturer teaching entrepreneur, marketing and photography. Having my own chain of businesses and leading a happy life with a wonderful family of four. I know that it is near and it is coming.

I know that it is coming, and i see it. I believe in it, so that is not way i am not taking it. The universe speaks to me and also wants me to lead this life.

AND i am having my block leave in 2 days time!!!! Woohoo!!!
Like it when there is nothing planned out for this 2 weeks.

Cant wait for Cambodia as well, which is happening in NOV, gonna borrow some books on Cambodia and understand the place alil more before stepping into the territory.

Library is such a wonderful place, don't understand why i took me so long to appreciate it .

I am gonna pass SOC tmr and go for a peaceful and happening off!

Cant wait to get my Sigma 30mm F1.4 HSM DC EX or Canon EF 28mm F1.8
Still cant decide but gonna get either one real soon before my portrait work begins...

Lotsa ideas and there are going to be concrete and looking forward to my photo exhibition next year, hopefully with a cause.

Cheers!!!

Strange Dream...

2009-07-14T01:03:00.000-07:00

Last night, i got quite a really really strange dream, really strange...

I actually carried MJ's coffin, OMFG... And just like the tribute, the exact same sliver polish coffin, and when i was moving out from the indoor stadium, i lifted off the top cover and show the audience his body, i mean more like his face.

When i was out of the stadium, with the coffin, i head to the carpark to load the coffin in a black "family-wagon" like car and was preparing to drive off. Then i realise that both of us (a friend and i) have no driving licence!!! The audience starts to flow out from the stadium and rush to crowd around the car, this is crazy, suddenly one of the Jackson 5 rush over and drive the car away, i was inside the car and MJ's Fans and chasing the car going crazy!

Then i heard my phone ring and my GF asked me why am i still asleep, haha!

What a strange dream man....

When shooting last Sunday, OCH

The place is almost gone soon, as most of the sub-small buildings are sealed up and arm with cams to prevent intruders.

Only the main building is not sealed up but its not as "untouched" like before, tell-tale signs for workers tearing down the place bit by bit, slowly erase the memories of many and removing the strong nostalgic feeling that i should felt.

Was very focus on my equipment as this is my first time doing flash photography. Didn't catch the "impression" of the building but certainly did up to my expectation for the flash stuffs.

Will definitely go back again soon.

Back!

2009-05-13T06:23:00.000-07:00

Its been a long long time since i made my last post here. Glad that i drag through my laziness and start to type something here again.

After i was back from Brunei, been very busy as usual for those who know me, i am like never free.

Been neglecting my health, sleeping less and eating all the junks. so gonna start living a healthy life again.

I seriously need to get my life organize, everything seems to been in a mess my bunk, my bedroom, my clothing..

Anyways, today i would like to share about something that i came across, very very meaningful to me, hits me real hard, and i believe its like an answer to most problem in life.

SEEING IS BELIEVING...

most of us heard this phrase before and many live with this phrase.

Let me be the 1st person in your life to tell you this, that this is totally NOT TRUE.

BELIEVING IS SEEING

that is what we should believe in.

think about this, you place a beautiful girl, which suffer from anorexia disorder, in front of this huge mirror. She will say that she fat. This is a perfect example of Believing is Seeing. A person reacts and acts to a certain frame, which is how they perceive reality. even though this anorexia lady is physically slim but due to her beliefs, it will overcome what she sees and reacts on this beliefs of being fat and as a result indulge in an eating disorder.

BELIEVE is a very powerful tool in life.
BELIEVE will make a person do things that seems impossible or ridiculous but this will end up in achieving in what he or she believes in.

One who believe that he is not attractive to ladies will forever be not attractive. One who believe that he cannot speak to stranger will forever live in that state.

When you are negative, you send negative thoughts and body language to the surrounding, with this context, people WILL and CAN feel it and WILL repels it.

And then you will start your "seeing is believing" theory. When you start to speak to someone you like, you will notice every possible thing that will side your stand. when the girl looks away, you will right away things that she is not interested and you will react according whether it is trying too hard or simply give up. But the actual fact is that she might just saw someone familiar, because of your reaction, she will eventually becomes really not interested and once again failure arises.

Pity is like a drug, when you fail and seek comfort from your friends, they will always say, its not you, shes just a bitch, one fine day the girl will come, you are really good dont be affected. You know, human always seek comfort through that as it helps them to rationalize with their negative beliefs and if things dont work out, it must be something to do with the girl, the environment, she must had a bad day and etc.

You will keep going back to your friends for this "pity" comfort as thats the only way for you to feel good and rationalize everything..

What i am trying to say is you can have all the theory in life and in whatever you want to achieve, you can get all the advice form the pros and those who have attain them, BUT if you DONT CHANGE YOUR FRAME, DONT CHANGE YOUR BELIEVE, you will always be what you are.

REMEMBER with BELIEVING comes SEEING.

Only when you BELIEVE you can do it, you will change your attitude towards life and you will send the positive waves around and you will then SEE the outcome.

So RMB,

Seeing is not Believing

But

BELIEVING IS SEEING

after you change your frame, your only problem is not the failures that you have to go through, but the successes will come so rapidly and positively that you cant even catch up with them.. :D

Cheers!!!

Get well soon and i need to start taking more pics!!!

2009-03-11T09:32:00.000-07:00

Today, theres a ceremony in the Auditorium in camp, some change of appt ceremony. Was helping out to collect the plague and stuffs on stage. I was suppose to be behind the stage and blah blah blah..

Really miss that feeling, was looking down and the empty seats before the actual event, reminds me on how i always go up on stage to have a feel and picture how to manage the audience and where to place my props, and how to walk out to the stage with my flaming torch. Miss the adrenaline rush before every of my magic show. Miss the laughter of the audience. Miss performing.

Singing solo --- gone
Singing with band --- gone
Performing magic --- gone

Really miss those time on stage. My life is so different now.

How i use to held lecture, teaching fellow magicians my content, show them the right approach to magic.

How i use to attended every single foreign magician's lectures.

Well, i no longer perform...

Hardly anybody even rmb me as a magician, as a vocalist...

Maybe you just have to let go certain stuffs when you are older.

"Magic, ladies and gentlemen"

My gal...

2009-03-01T19:17:00.000-08:00

Cancel last order, post deleted..

Shit, i cant believe, i actually fall out form a route march...

WTF...

My leg is swollen like mad, after 8km of struggle, my body decided to give up, so so painful.. then i caught a fever.

My leg seriously need to recover before book out, i want to wear berms!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I seriously need to start taking pictures again, miss those day...

CO coc parade

2009-01-06T18:06:00.000-08:00

This is my 1st time officially taking pics for an army event, put in lotsa effort in it, Not that i got a choice between film or digital, since my 350D is with my bro then in France, anyways, its back!!! haha!!!

Been taking pics after i got my 350D back, the freedom of spamming!!! Unlike film.... But my love is still for film photography. Learned alot from my bro.

Recently i pick up post-processing, a very good and easy program to do post-processing is Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, unlike the usual Photoshop, Lightroom touch on only the colors, temperature, exposure of your picture. This program uses "dragging" method, which mains that you can drag up or down the exposure, the color temperature and etc. Very easy to use.

Here are some pics from the parade

Cam: Canon 300 (Film)
Film: Centuria 400

Enjoy!!!

Just random...

2008-12-27T09:43:00.000-08:00

Well, everyone reacts and does things differently. Nothing wrong with that but, sometimes its just ... how do i put it in words....

Sometimes the things you do might seems to be okay and acceptable to you, but seriously, not to others. If you think its okay doesnt means that its okay... the world thinks that its okay, nono...

And at things actions and motive doesnt tally, your actions shows a certain impression and feelings of you but you keep saying thats not the point, its not what you see...

OKay okay, imaging this, whateva you have done, just minus the 'you' away, and add a random person with the same situation. The actions you did when you are 'you' may seems to you to be perfectly fine and normal for someone to react. But when you view it in a third party point-of-view, you will then understand how others will feel and think about your action, whether its too much too many, or overly-reacting, or simply too involved.

Well, as what the title says, its just some random stuff, if you dont understand, its okay, probably its due to my poor english and my inability to express properly. :)

My bro and my 350D is coming back today!!!
In 12 hours time.

Gonna start planning out my new year resolutions... And must make sure that i am getting it done!!!

By the way... I GOT A GUCCI WALLET FOR XMAS!!!! HAHA!!!!!

Xmas' eve's eve

2008-12-23T08:06:00.000-08:00

Super Duper tiring... For the past two weeks, i hardly slept more than 6 hours per day. I need more rest but it shouldnt be part of the 24hours in a day, god please add 4 more hours a day for me to rest... please?

I am so dying for EOS 40D!!! But i dont wanna get it in impulse... My bro is coming back this SUNDAY!! YEAH!!! CHEERS TO HIM AND MY 350D with battery grip and kit lens and 50mm lens!!! After 4 months!!! I gonna take pictures like nobody business!

I kinda hate my life now, super aimless, just living day after day, i even rejected a magic show last weekend just because i am so bloody lazy... omg...

God bless phy's friend, bless that everything will be fine, bless that a miracle will happen.

God give me strength....

Went to the library to get some books on photography, library is such a wonderful place, totally digging it!
I JUST PAID MY 8 YEARS OLD FINE FROM THE LIBRARY!!! hahas!

My baby is sick sick too, all because of me, pass the illness to her our the weekend, god bless my baby.

SO MANY THINGS TO DO SO LITTLE TIME!!!

SO MANY THINGS TO BUY SO LITTLE MONEY!!!

Super busy after we came back from lake kenyir, we went to queensway shopping centre to get some FBT, baby bought the NIKE IPOD device! damn cool, it measures your pace, distances and ETC..

Blog more when i recover :P

Going

2008-11-05T00:23:00.000-08:00

Yoz, going to Lake Kenyir soon, very soon, in hours. Just done packing my stuffs, gonna meet my girl in the airport, gonna be lotsa photo taking, lovin it!!!

Just got myself a new TOY!!! haha, Canon EOS 300, its a film camera, like a film SLR, which i got it at a steal! Apparently the pervious owner only use it like a couple of time, almost scratch-free, not only the cosmetic is superb but the camera is in good shooting condition. Just ran a test roll yesterday. Will post some pics soon! ;)

Will be missing the opening day of the "PLAYGROUND" which is on Friday, will be back on SUnday to check out the exhibition.

Somehow my dad is kinda supportive in our (my brother and i) passion in photography, went courts just now and was eyeing on this $700 tele lens, my dad just go," wah, not bad, get it lah, can share share with fabian"

My bro is a damn good photographer, improve alot ever since we start 4 years back. I stop for a while for my other interest(magic), but then again, we do different stuffs, i do films and non-editing, he does digital with editing. Wouldn't it be perfect to have us in your event or wedding? hahas!

U know? The thing about packing is that when you are done, you will feel that there is something not packed; missing something. Well, Fuck it (oops), i am done and I AM DONE, lazy to go through everything again. :D

I am bringing my beloved Diana, LC-A and Canon EOS 300!!! All load and ready, simply can't wait.

PS: anyways, pardon me for my random and messy way of blogging.

Cheers!

Well, its just 3 weeks, i am sure everythings gonna be alright, time will fly like the speed of light. gonna MISS everything!!! Hopefully photography will make me stay focus in Australia and as soon as i know it will be over.

Sacrifice

2008-09-22T08:33:00.000-07:00

1st time in my life i experience something new, something that i would not think that it will happen.

Dont know how to express the feeling,
we love each other too much that we get into fights.
we love each other too much that we feel upset.
we love each other too much that we drop tears.
we love each other too much that we hurt each other.

All this happen because we love and we give in, we compromise, we sacrifce.

I learn that not all the time we need to sacrifice for our love ones, simply because there is no such a need. In fact, the outcome might be better if you dont.

Two perfect example.

Comms Ball

I chose not to attend my female friend comms ball because i know that my girl will not like it, i assume that she will find another date (even when i know it is not easy). As the result, she miss her ball cuz cant find a date. Told my girl, feel damn bad about it.

Not saying that we will not quarrel but if we had talk about it, understand the situation a little bit more, maybe the outcome will be different. Never know.

Dinner and KTV

She chose not to tell me what time it really ends and how much it means to her to stay. Came home feeling sad, talking about it, had a crazy fight.

Been thinking alot about it, why does i sacrifice and ended up still having a bad endings? All this could be avoid if there is communication!! Talk things out, find a proper and acceptable solution.

In the end, no sacrifice and yet more happiness. Isint this perfect yet irony that one should not give in and compromise and still gain happiness???

Conclude ---> Doing more not equals to getting it right.

Feel

2008-09-21T20:39:00.000-07:00

Just some random thing.

Nowadays, i abit lose the "feel" of take pictures, Dont know why also. Last time is like when i see some objects, some people, some scenery, i can picture how to frame my shots and get the "feel" i wanted. Something like adding a little emotion to the shot, something like having your own style in a shot.

Gonna see more and read more to get back that "feel" man.

My girl says that maybe i expect too much from my shots, could be true.

:)

Been real busy for the last two weekends really no time to blog, finally a monday off!!

Lime flea was damn fun lah, manage to sell away lotsa second hand stuffs. Good money, we each earn like $100 over. And also lotsa friends came and supported us, Cliquees came and later Desmond drop by, had dinner together and rush back home to pack up for camp. :(

Book out on Sat after 3 hours of sleep follow by a long long day ahead!

Rush home to pack my cams and take a shower, then went to a lomo gathering called "rain parade".

Due to the raining whether, lomo gang decided that all should meet up and take pics together which is not the kind of weather lomographers love.

But it turns out to be real sunny!! Had to leave early cuz didnt expect it to meet late. Alex, Alvin and i went for it and head to bugis to take some shots and develop our pics.

Enjoy!!

2008-09-10T00:29:00.000-07:00

Argh... next week course cancelled!!! there goes my 8 to 5pm, just when i thought i can spend more time with my dearest before wallaby.... Well, thats life.

Something really random

Have you ever ask this questions to yourself?

What am i doing now?
Is this what i want in life?
Is this how i want it to be?

Have you ever question about the way you live, the way you should live.

Once i was i magician, held on to my passion, fighting my way, believing that it is the right thing to do. Turn semi-pro in 1.5 years time, get crazy amount of shows, more than 2 event company made me their "1st-choice" magician. Earning about 1k, lecturing, performing, amusing... Just like few hours a week, few days a month. Life had never been better, studying, performing, doing what i "love".

So, what have i lost. precious time that can use for many many other things, love, family and of course... studying...

Sometimes, turning pro or making a hobby into a career is not as easy as it is. I became numb about magic, doing the same old commercial standard routine where audience will applause, where kids will go crazy. I lost the drive to explore new things, difficult things, challenging stuffs. All i care about this how profitable will this props be, how easy to add into the routine.

I stop performing for money. I love magic more than before.

I work for money now, saving up. For? Marriage, Housing loan, Wedding Day, Babies' essentials, Holiday with my love one.

Friends said that why am i working for? Why i stop my hobbies, Singing? Magic? Its not because i dont favor them anymore, it is not because i got no time. Its just that i got a greater goal ahead, greater passion.

Just like any other hobby, i want to have my own family, wants to make sure that my family lives comfortably, want to give all my loves to it.

Isn't that also a passion? I see greater things than just what i like, what i like to do, and what i want to do. I am reaching for what i love, what i NEED.

Lastly, pardon me for my english....

FRIDAY IS MY BOOK OUT DAY!!!!!!!! CANT WAIT TO MEET MY DEAREST!!!!!!!!!! :D

For my 1st post on lomography, i would like to introduce to you guys this wonderful camera, Vivitar UWS (ultra wide and slim)

Cost: ONLY $25 or less!!!!!!!!!

This is a very good film camera to start with for those who are new to lomo/film photography. It is very affordable and easier purchase for some of the lomographers' blog store.

A very good "Point and Shoot" camera, as you dont have to adjust or set on the apertures and shutter speed, less worries (anyway, they are fixed)

Go grad a roll of film (ISO 100-200) and you are ready to take some great shots.

There are two types of film, the negative ones which is widely use, and the Slide film.

Both film requires different chemical to process it.What you about to see next are examples of "Cross-processed" effect. I use slide film and request to process it will a negative solution. It gives crazy color effects!

Feel free to ask any question on this camera, film or even purchasing one of it. I will be more than willing to help you!!! Do drop your questions at the tag box.
