The Sharing @ Annexe Gallery Central Market

I had a visit to the Annexx Gallery at Central Market, KL last two weeks.

It was a photography exhibition with the theme “The Sharing”, organized by some photographers who showing their photography of travelling around Asia.

An overview of the gallery








I like the entire feel of the exhibition as there is a little indirect interaction between the organizers and the visitors in the following ways:


There were candies for the visitors! =) how affectionate the organizers were.

There was also a corner equipped with a small table where pieces of 4R photos being arranged on it. The visitors were asked to choose one of the photos they like the most. All of the photos were so nice and had their own story behind. Though felt like want to have each of photos, but I still picked one out of all as I thought the organizers had their own intention for asking us to pick only one. =)



This was the one I picked. Guess it was the Empathy which drove me for it; it wasn’t about how wonderful the photography skill is. The photo has its photographer’s signature too! Woah. This photo was named –Afternoon Nap, taken in India, 2010.



Most of the photos exhibited were captured in India, China and Malaysia.

I didn’t actually have any expectation for the exhibition when going there.

However, I was blessed with wisdom from the sharing which I would like to share with my readers.

Most of the photos were figure based, from innocent poor kid to pity old man. At the same time, there were some nature scene photos as well.

-Side by Side, Bentong Pahang 2009-


The figures being displayed grabbed my attention. Empathy was flushing through me within a second. Look at those innocent eyes filled with hopes. Hope that there will be food and no hunger, or hope that there is no poverty, or hope that the world will hear their inner voices, or hope that there will be help from the people out there. I’m sure their lives are hard, harder than anyone of us. But they still move on with clinging to hope despite the toughness. Their strong spirit for life is the spirit that sustains them for further journey.





What a friend used to tell me: Though sometimes there are people or on-going incidents which dismay you, most of time you just can’t ignore them or shut them off. What you can do is accept them with great courage and open heart although there is infinity splash of reluctance in your mind. Never escape but confront. Certain things in life are just out of your control including who and what come into your life or leave you in a later time. I was told, I can choose what I want my life to be although I can’t control the fore mentioned. So does you. Choose to turn the negative to positive; choose to turn up yourself though your surrounding turns you down.

While you’re obsessed with your own happiness or sadness, remember that there are people out there waiting for helping hands and in deeper grief. The world is not just about YOU.

PissedHut

Had some catch up with friends at PizzaHut last thursday.




Pictures look great and we had some quick updates from the long-time-no-see friends.


Previous dining at PizzaHut was during several months back where Sue feasted us.



It was a great dining with friends too.
Yea, I had good times at PizzaHut.
And I just realized that I wore the same shirt for the both mentioned occasions above. Wow.

I like Pizza, but I'm not going to there anymore.
You know why? Perhaps some of you might have knew this before.
For the not-knowings, this is going to alert you. =)
I got to know that the malays doesn't need to pay the dining government tax at there!
While the non malays need to!
I totally don't understand what kind of policy is this?

Another situation was experienced by my friend who had his meal at some mamak stall..
and he had to pay rm3.50 for his MeeGoreng while the malays paid rm3 for the exactly same MeeGoreng.

I believe there are many of you had came across this kind of injustice too.
Well, I'm not showing any racism or disrespect to the Malays here.
I get close to my malay friends too and I have some good Malay friends too.
I just can't agree with this kind of policy where non-malays need to pay more and the malays need to pay less. I totally can't figure out any explanation for this kind of charging.
The country is treating its own citizens unfairly.
So, I've determined not to go for such dining outlets who show racism in their business and PizzaHut is one of them. =)
Unless there is a good explanation to cover up this.
So, Say No to PIZZAHUT. lol.

Just Friends


All over Malaysia.

1st candidate - Ms. Ang Pei Wen, UTAR Kampar
She was transferred here from JitSin during Form 3

2nd candidate - Ms. Chiang Wah, USM Penang
a.k.a Choco Wafer, what a name. hahaha. You made my day! The one used to sat next to me in class.

3rd candidate - Ms. Lin Hui Li, UM Petaling Jaya

4th candidate - Ms. Beh Jing Han, UPM Serdang
A rich Pangkor girl, driving her own VIOS in KL, however she has no time to drop by at PJ for me. *CubiT*

But we are all from Nan Hwa Perak.

We had seafood (my favourite!!!) at Hainan Village, Kg.Acheh.
Just simple dishes we ordered as we got only four people but it ended up in a good feast.
2 Salted egg Crab


Salted egg prawn. It doesnt look like prawn externally though as it was fried.


Spicy Kangkung


So sound like we were having some salted egg feast?? LOL.
That was the first time I tried salted egg flavor, but they really are..of the TOP delicacy!!!
Thanks to the recommendation of the menu girl who recommended these as their restaurant's signature dishes.

Guess how much was the total bill?
It only cost about rm10 per person.
Doesn't it cheap?? Yea, nice and cheap Sitiawan seafood.
So, it's better to have gathering at here rather than have it at OldTown, Secret Recipe, PizzaHut etc.
You can get a full and satisfied stomach and of course a long chit-chat here with air-cond provided too.

We can hardly meet as time goes by due to different study timing and schedules.
Glad that we can at least meet once or two times a year together.
Stay close, friends (including all others as well) =)

Indulgence

Spending my holidays by indulging in my own watermark =)
Designed two watermarks for myself using Photoshop.
Initially I wanted to use just one design, but I'm so indecisive to pick out of both favourites.
At the end, I decided to use BOTH. lol.
Just a simple one but I'm contented instead because I'm on the first pace to equip myself with Photoshop skills =)
My different watermarks which I plan to use in different types of photography.

Which watermark do you prefer??
My brother picked the bottom design

There goes, I tested my watermark on the photos which I took at Tanjung Harapan last week.
Were by chance and right timing, reached upon the destination at the exact time when the sun set.









Photos were captured merely by my Sony T300 but somehow they look like DSLR photos..
So, can you imagine how beautiful it was the sunset scene by the actual eye sight?
The vast sky and the crystal clear water didnt merge at horizon, you know why??
Because it is a bay not facing towards the open sea~ =)
Strongly recommend this bay site for sunset view!

Gelato Fruity . MidValley

Gelato, an Italian ice cream which you will probably like it.
I know it sounds a lil out of tune for me to post about gelato on 31st of month
rather than posting about Baskin Robbin.
But believe me, this ice cream is nice.
I like it but I can't afford to have it so frequent.
The smallest portion of it costs rm6.80!!
I can get almost 7 Sunday Cones with that. LOL.
But gelato is much more better than Sunday Cone of course. Heh!
Despite the smallest volume that they sell,
the portion is actually just nice, for my size at least.
The ice cream makes me thirsty if I eat much more than
what I got for myself that day.
There are various choices at the display freezer with different colours.




and I saw a blue colour ice cream which was quite creepy. Eeeww~
This is definitely a NO for me.

Customers were allowed to test on the ice-cream and the men at the counter were quite generous in letting the customers try out their flavours.
This should be the way customers are being treated mar~ LOL
I guess many people shall approach the counter if they know about this
especially when we are allowed to just walk away "thick-facingly" after trying it.
This is the Malaysian style, free things attract crowd.
I got myself the Kicker flavour. Erm, a lil peanut + vanilla + chocolate taste I guess.
This is how small the ice cream was.



The busy eating face with ice cream melting in my mouth and melts my heart. =D

Try to taste it by yourself. If you can afford, please get a FOC one for me
(not the free sample okay). Heh!

Just Popiah . MidValley

There is a small hawker stall selling popiah at the LG pathway which
connects MidValley and TheGardens.
The popiah looked delicious so my friends and I actually tried it out that day.
The scrumptious popiahs arrayed nicely in the oven which makes me drooling!


While queuing and waiting for the order, I snapped a few photos. Heh!




I guess the hawker was feeling happy when I took the photos as I shall then promoting their business. Some more is free of charge advertisement.
Hey, uncle hawker, you shall grant me some free popiahs!
Actually the one we ordered in the end were those wet popiahs without being fried.
Didn't achieve the maximum contentment.
But the popiahs were indeed same as what written at the stall: CRISPY!
I can feel and hear the essence in the popiah was crackling in my mouth
when I crunched it =)
I seriously wanna try out the fried popiah during my next attempt.
They have their own facebook too,


you can see how successful facebook is until it manage to become the advertising tools for corporates and even a small hawker!
Mark Zuckerberg you're a god genius!
