my new toy

Friday, November 20, 2009



This was my first digital slr camera..i'm like it so much. Some people said Canon would be cheaper on lens but body was expensive; Nikon cheap on body but expensive on lens. I like Nikon since i get used to it with my compact digital camera. DSLR for Nikon d3000, was consider reasonable price. I bought with speciak package and basic lens kit, cost me less than $600. Yes, after i bought this camera then Popeye start felt sick..my financial suddenly run out. At the same time, the photos that i took didn't publish...things happens so bad on me for two- three week. What even things i did, it just didn't goes so well.
I'm start learning myself to understand the basic knowledge about SLR function, like shutter speed, aperture and ISO. To get a new lens kit? i guess that will take a while to achieve it. Owning a DSLR camera, investment on lens always the thing you still need to do. So, still got a lot of thing need to learn about the skill:D

i hate this bugs

Thursday, November 19, 2009

During fall, really annoying me because of this bugs. At first, i just never realized it can can out that much. I tried to find out why this bugs can coming out, and showed out at my window. Then found out actually, this bugs coming through from the side of my window. Luckily i already isolating my window, if not i really can't explain how much time i need to kill these bugs. It not only makes the window has dirt, sometime when i was sleeping, it even climb onto my neck!
I checked the Internet to find out what kind of bug it is, they called as boxelder bugs. They leave the tree during the late of summer and autumn, they usually stick with group; it can find from maple leave tree. When i found out outside the window, it made me goosebumps.
I even read the solutions how to kill it, it said using detergent mixed with water and spray on it. I even went to bought some stuff to fix the window side, so they unable to coming in. After success killing them, i have to re-open the isolation plastic, clear it out and stick it back again.
What a day....

stressfuuuuuuuuuuuuuul

Saturday, November 14, 2009
It was almost 2/3 weeks that i felt so numb and stressful. I got my on-campus job as a photographer for our University's newspaper. This job not only has a low payment but also unstable income. Each photo only cost $5 (per event i cover). BUT!..before they paying me, i have to contributing three photos (three events' photos) to this newspaper, after three of them successful publish to newspaper then i able to get pay for my next photo shoot. It is very tough, because some photos might not satisfy their requirement, or the event that i cover has no editor to write about it so it will unable to publishing it. I'm happy and proud to see my photos shoot published on the newspaper. However, it already 3 weeks, i was still haven't pass the 'contributing stage' yet..kind of frustrating.
recently, Popeye fell sick suddenly. I was so worrying her, during the days she was very ill; i can't sleep well at the nighttime because i want to make sure she drinking (rabbit must drink and eat), i also felt pity for her because she unable to groom herself, she really look alike sick people, the hair is messy with sleepy eyes, no appetite. Oh yes, spayed surgery already cost me hundred more. Who knows, her vestibular infections came sudden within 2 weeks. I found out early, even brought her to emergency in the 24 hour vet clinic. (thank to Sarah). The medicine price cost me almost same as her surgery (dammit..). I'm never mad i pay so much to her, but i will not happy if the medicine not cure her. However so far, she was doing fine, but her neck has little bit of wrying to the right, sudden she fell if she ran fast. I even helps her massage her neck every day.
Another thing was, i excluded my December rent at the beginning of my semester. Now i found out i ran out of money, however i still have a back up from my saving (which i used for travel and buying needed thing, emergency purpose). But after i bought my new camera, then those things came to me, medicine bill , rents...headache. I would said i did having bad weeks(instead of days).
Anyway, pray for my Popeye is getting better, she can naughty as she use to; i able to get my pay from my photographing, and bad luck will gone like a dark cloud.

Oct's first snow

Monday, November 2, 2009

the second morning, after blow by strong wind. The tree turned to bold.


Look at my latest blog update it was a month ago. Since school start, i really no into chatting and update my blog because the moment i touch these things, i will hardly to concentrate do my other stuff. Sunday morning 2am was United State day time saving. It will be 14hour behind Malaysia time. This year, the cold comes very fast compare to last year. October (which also known as Fall), had the first snow on second week of October. Some student who came here this fall semester was excited seeing snow, but for us who seeing snow and know how does the snow taste like feel annoying about it, we rather said 'What!, snow again' instead of "waooo..is snow! ". Well, i will experience the snow for about 6month. Honesty, i prefer snow more than rain because raining really uncomfortable. Will see...

Silent makes me think about you

Friday, October 2, 2009

3.33am is the last day you said good-bye to all of us,
when i heard you were gone, my mind suddenly flashing back my childhood memories.
I remember your jokes, your kind and friendly smile and everything.
I remember the last time i saw you was before i came to United States.
The red packet that you gave me have a short message for me "wish you have a safe trip".
I keep the red packet until i arrived United States and i am arrived safely.
The last time i contact you was the text message, you told me you will be fine;
I know you very are very strong to battle with this sickness.
Your sudden gone, I'm really don't know what to said because i was sad until speechless.
I still think about you during silent, because I really hope this is not the truth.
In the deep of my heart i will always remember and love you this Auntie Stella

renaissance fair

Thursday, September 3, 2009
The colorful flag
They demonstrate how to blow and make glasses
turkey leg, cost $6, eat with BBQ sauce is delicious. Unfortunately, i need Yohana and Edo to help me finish it because it is too huge.

A small garden
This lady will only dance when you drop some coin inside a jar, when she done her performance, she will sitting down inside the cage, wearing her glasses and continue her reading.

This guy, he have to be mean. He said awful mean words to makes people hate him. You have to pay for 3dollars and have couple of tomatoes to throw on him. If you really in a bad mood, you can try this matter to express your anger.
The horses worrier performance show. Actually i'm kinda feel pity to these animals.
A huge, pretty horse inside pending zoo. Now i know why people said horse can kill people if they kick you, when you see the real horse you will realized they are really tall.


It have been for awhile i didn't update my blog because school just started, many things have to do for example homeworks. Well, the week before school start i have went to Renaissance Fair at Shokopee, Minneapolis. Total 6 people went together. Me, Yohana, Yi Lin and Edo drove all the way from St.Cloud to Minneapolis, meet out Bety and Jimmy. All of us are come from 'Sia' country, only me and Yi Lin represent Malaysia and the other are Indonesia. It was my first time to meet Jimmy and Bety, they already living in Minneapolis. They have a dog name Casper and she was cute. Renaissance fair is a fair that which they make it like Renaissance century, people wearing those century costume, selling foods, toys and some souvenirs. After the fair done, i realized that i was so exhausted and the second day will be my first day of classes.
