Maple Leaves

Maple leaves also called as “Canada Leaves”. Called as Canada leaves because on Canada flag, there is Maple leaves on it.

During autumn times, maple leaves are the most attractive, many people try to collect maple leaves and dry them. Orange Golden colour is just too beautiful!!! Maybe we can’t see this in Malaysia..


Maple leaves on the ground…

Those photos were taken last week during the Group Photography 1. Are we going to have Group Photography Session 2? According to the weather forecast, chance of rain is 80% on this coming Saturday…. Today, we can see ’smoke’ out from our mouth while talking.. I think white shinny ground will be out soon. :)

Dark Night

When was my last update? 4 days ago? Oppsss.. Sorry, cos I don’t know what to say~~ Nothing special happen at here. Peace and steady!

Except, yesterday, it was Kelvin’s Birthday~ Happy Belated Birthday~!@~

That’s Kelvin~!

Tonight, I came out with a special tricks to play with my DSLR. That’s “Overexposure”


Can you see something inside?


Another one


How about this one?


Final attempt

All photo taken by me, and the lines are created by Adeline using touch light. The batteries for touch light already weak, so the light a bit wash out. Tomorrow I will go to buy new batteries and hopefully we can see better results. If you want to know how to make it, drop by and ask me. I will try to teach you. Those images can be created by some compact camera and all SLR.

Good night.

Group Photography 1

Yesterday we went for photograpghy session near the park of our university. We planned to start the session at 9am sharp, but unfortunately ‘malaysian chinese’ style.. We only managed to start it at 9.30am.

We brought our cameras, tripods, and of course FOOD.
I’d counted, there were total 7 cameras participate in this session. (2 from Canon <1 SLR, 1 Compact Advance>, 3 from Sony <3 compact>, 2 from Olympus <2 compact>). So huge lineup right?

In between, we had breakfast prepared by lynnwei. Then continue our photography session. It ended at 11am. It was fun and enjoyable!


We chose this stone as our 1st spot. This is the 1st place where we met together in Kursk!


The cafe where we were quarantined for the 1st 3 days. And of course in there, we met together.


Dangerous act! Don’t do it at your place!


Our day trip to Park begin~!

Playing with Fountain

Today after class, I went to out to play with Fountain with My Baby again! It was so nice and enjoyable~!

Weather today is nice and great for photography. But in the afternoon the wind started to blow up and temperature dropped quite a lot. Trees start to naked.. I think we got to be fast before the trees fully NAKED! This is our last chance because this is our last Autumn in Russia. I hope this autumn will be in my heart as long as possible..

Back to story, Playing with Fountain~~


Shooting down from top with long shutter.. Noticed the lady there? She is waiting for someone.. I bet.


Shooting from side.


With ME inside. =P How is my new jacket? Looks ok? Photo taken by Adeline. She waited more than 1 minute just to let the fountain to go as high as possible. That’s why I’m a bit ‘out of position’. :P

That’s interior fountain, let us move to exterior fountain..


Can you see the water droplets? The water seems like freezed right?

When we r YounG!~

Tonight while I was searching for my Case History Scheme, I found several photo which taken when we were just entering University. Now we are in our last year of medical studies. The time gap is very big right?

This is the photo taken on 6 of October 2004 during our last day of General Chemistry practical class. In the photo, you can see E having LONG hair, B still YOUNG, K’s hair still PRESENT, S still looks like a child, A still looks like a GIRL?, J still comb his hair, W still wearing spectacles, N still remain naughty? (sorry guys…… I’m just saying the truth)

This photo is taken during our Anatomy class. Everyone still looks the same? Maybe slight changes.

How about this? We were just out from the Operating Theatre.. Any changes?

Taken after class while waiting for our mashrut to come, at that time we were still ‘rich’, we can still hire a transport to fetch us. But now?.. :( Oh ya.. Someone missing in the photo? Actually not, he is just playing Hide n Seek with you, find him out!!

Maybe some of you had see these photo in newspaper 3-4 years back. Anyone seen it?

Actually I had more photo taken during those days, but my HDD was corrupted last year, and all my photos gone, these are the only photo that I managed to retrieve back..

Coming Saturday, we will have our photography session, hope that the weather will be alright. Then I will share with you all with the “latest version” of us.

Lunch at Japanese Restaurant

Continued from the post Autumn Days

We went to the Japanese Restaurant (Sushi Bar) in one of the shopping center. Our last visit to this Sushi bar was 12 months ago..


Their banner. Chinese words means Success. Russian Words means Sushi Bar, Japanese Kitchen.


Japanese doll guarding the entrance

When we reached there, there was nobody in bar, which means we are the 1st to be served! The waitress in Japanese costume came to us with 3 menu books, 2 for solid foods and 1 for drinks. We ordered all the seven cheapest sushi rolls in the menu, 1 Japanese pizza, 1 soft drink and 1 juice.

Soon we were served with hot towels and later our drinks arrived.


Hot towel. It is used for cleaning of our hands. Means Japanese are hygienic?


My grape Juice..

Japanese Pizza out 1st and later followed by all the 7 sushi rolls.


Japanese Pizza. Classic type!


That’s how you hold and eat Japanese Pizza.


Tray of sushi with decorations.
sorry the photo a bit out of focus, forgot to change mode and increase aperture. Too Hungry.. what to do??


Wasabi on Sushi.. Dare to take the challenge?


Pickled garlic! My flavourite. They made it into flower..


One of the “most worth” sushi rolls (Price : Weight). And one of the most decorative!

Nice to eat and now it’s the time for PAYMENT.


Guess how much is the total….


The waitress “loves” me sooo much.. I gave her 1003 and she gave me these…


Artificial plant in Shopping center..

After lunch, we went for a window shopping…. and back hostel to rest.

Autumn Days

This morning, I woke up earlier than before. Since today we don’t have classes, so I clean up myself and start my photo shooting session at one of the park in Kursk.

This autumn will be my last autumn in Kursk, because next year I will be back home for good. So I must take photos and make them as memories!

I started my journey at 9.30am, packed my baby, EOS 450D with EF 50mm F/1.8 mk II attached. And of course, I brought along the kit lens. I estimated to meet Adeline in park 45 minutes later, because she had her practical skills exam on ophthalmology this morning and she will use this route to back hostel. I wanted to give her surprise. =P

I reached the park at 9.45am, only few people were there, they were sitting on the bench and rest. While for me, I started my photo shooting session. The park is not very big. I used on 20 minutes to cover the area and I found a good place for me to sit down. Watching people walking back and fro in front of me.




Can you see the differences? The leaves started to ‘die’…


Walking path was covered by yellow orange leaves.


More leaves on the ground..


Leaves on the bench


Cherry tree in the park.

Took out my N95 8gb, and started to surf net. Adeline told me that her group hasn’t started their practical exam, it was other group 1st. Which means, I got to wait for another hour….. Nevermind, remain seated at the bench and watching children playing around.



Children were playing in the park.


Pigeon was looking for something…

The weather start turning cold, my jacket wasn’t thick enough to fight the wind, and I decided to visit the SONY shop which located just next to the park. Of course I had to hide my DSLR in bag 1st, and then enter the shop. 3 workers and 1 customer (excluding me) were inside the shop and discussing something, at 1st I thought they were discussing about the Sony products, but it wasn’t. They were discussing about Ford Ranger, Toyota Land Cruiser. Hahaha.. Weird right? After heating up myself, I went back to park and continue waiting.


Old couple walking down the park..

Time is flying quite fast and finally Adeline finished her practical exam. We went for a lunch at Japanese restaurant.

Diamond? President?

If you are already in Diamond class, you will be awarded travels every year.
If you are already in President level, you can earn money while you’re sleeping, you earn in every second of yourself.
If you are in supervisor group, you can earn 50% of the retail prices.
This is the new business! It earns through levels.
You earn what your downlines earn!

Sound familiar? I can memorise it already! There are generally used by the members of Direct Sales. Opps.. Sorry if you’re one of the Direct Sales member. I WAS one of them too.. Honestly speaking, I WAS cheated
by one of the statements above! Everyone loves $$$ right? If you don’t, please bank in to my account, I LOVE IT!

I’d make the research on these system when I was in the direct sales family. They love to use FAMILY, we are one, together we earn! I don’t think so!

Please be mind that every statement above, there is “*” behind. What are they for? Of course for Terms and Conditions.

Do you think, you can travels every year for FREE when you’re in Diamond class? Yes, you can, but with “*”. What are the general TAC? You need to have enough VP(volume points) or sales in order to get the rewards. I’ve counted, if you convert the VP to your currency, you can also travel for ‘FREE’. Of course the statement maybe true, if you’re already a Diamond member and you have a very strong TEAM/FAMILY. But out of billions of members, how many of them are Diamond member? less than 1%. Can you be that 1%? If you can, My deepest congratulation to you and wish you forever in Diamond class.

Do you think you can earn every seconds even you’re sleeping and not working at all? Sometimes maybe you can. Did you notice that the one tell you this statement still working hard to recruite members? Aren’t they working?

Speaking about the levels, most of them are not permanent. You can drop from your level if your sales or VP is not enough. If it is not permanent, why you still work on it? Doing it part time is OK, at least you still have constant income from your job, but i think most company won’t allow their workers to work part time, because may interfere with their jobs performance. Lots of high level members told me, working part time is not the solution, you need to work on FULL TIME! With that you’re more dedicated.

hehehe.. You earn what your downline earn. Sound funny right? Your downline wait his downline to earn, his downline to his own downlone to earn. Everyone waiting downline to earn. So how to earn? If your downline not earning anything!

I don’t mean this NEW SYSTEM is BAD, or nobody should join this business. You’re welcome to join this brand new system! You can earn even during you’re sleeping!!

p/s if you feel offended by this post, I’m sorry! I don’t mean to destory your network. It is just my idea and I’m free to write what I want in my blog.

Fast n Easy

Will you untie the plastic bag nicely?
Will you open up a box nicely?
Will you unwrap your present nicely?

OR

You will do like this?


FAST n EASY mode.

What is Fast n Easy mode? That is simply open up a HOLE (Big enough to take out the stuffs) rather than untie the plastic bag knot. Fast n Easy right? I’d noticed several people who love to use this mode. I’m very lucky that I can make an interview with them.

Guess what are their responds?

  1. The plastic bag is very cheap! FREE one. (but sometimes, the plastic bag is not free one).
  2. I’ve a lot plastic bag inside my room, so this is not needed.
  3. The plastic bag already dirty.
  4. I have tupperware, I can put the stuffs in there, no need plastic bag.

I agreed that to untie the plastic bag consume more time than you simply make a hole near the knot.

Do you know that the plastic bag is not degenerated? It will live longer than you unless you burn it and produce toxic gases. (Some countries already start to use degenerated plastic bag)

Even though the plastic bag is cheap or free or you’ve a lot, we should not waste the plastic bag like that. If it is clean, we can keep it and use it when necessary and we can bring those plastic bags to go shopping rather than getting a new one. Save the Earth!~
