Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett both are no stranger to us.

However, I’m sure most younger generation don’t know who Farrah Fawcett is.

Frankly, I did not know her name but only know her face, know that she’s one of the Charlie’s Angels and her signature hairstyle because I never bothered. I only know her name today.

Oh well… That’s me. Even when listening to songs, I only enjoy the songs, I never bother who are the people that sing the songs. Whether the person is ugly or beautiful, fat or thin, so long they know their stuffs I don’t care.

It’s really shocking. They both died on the same day. The news was reported early this morning(Malaysian time). I found out about it from Facebook.

I bet all of us growing up listening to Michael Jackson’s songs and watching his distinct dance move. Everyone was shocked. The coming concert in July will never be here… Life is so fragile, you never know what will happen tomorrow. We can only plan but God will execute his job based on his own timing.

As for Farrah Fawcett, her hair is her signature. She was made popular when acting as one-third of the crime-fighting trio in TV’s Charlie’s Angels in 1976. I’m not born yet, I only came to this world 6 years later but I remember seeing this hairstyle a lot in the 80’s. It is still very nice and still suitable to be carried for women in this era. I love this hair style to bits! It never goes out of fashion! Well… At least to me.

Sadly… Farrah Fawcett death is overshadowed by Michael Jackson’s death. You are practically hearing Michael Jackson’s songs on every radio channels today and even my facebook is full of his videos posted by friends in facebook. I login to YouTube and same thing greeted me too.

Aynway, R.I.P

Hoping that you will have a good laugh over it also ;p It’s a very very long text post, so if you want to ignore it, it’s up to you.

This happened yesterday. I got a phone call from some very “smart” people asking for the service that I’m providing. Most of you know what I’m working as. If you don’t know, it’s all right, might get the hint here, I’ll just summarize the whole thing as the story is really loooong coz the phone conversation was really loooooong yet it’s repeating.

I will refer this person as TK, he is from VE. *LOL* I’m not going to give you his full name and company’s name coz I’m not here to make enemy and don’t want to get into trouble with such “smart” people. Also I’m not that bad in wanting people to close shop.

What you see here are not the exact words, I’m just summarizing, it sounded something like that.
(words that I want to say the polite way or things that run in my mind)
[words that the bitch in me wants to say but I’m doing self-censor for the sake of the readers of this blog hahaha…]

I love sunset. I used to like to take sunset pictures but slowed down for couple of years.

These photos were taken this year and last year.

Looking back at those old sunsets photos reminded me of how nice sunset is.

I think I should take more photos of sunsets from now on as sunset is unique.

No two sunsets are the same.

Once it’s gone, it’s gone, you can’t turn back time.

Life is so fragile and full of ups an downs. Even though we know this is the fact, how many of us can really appreciate everything that we have in life and treasure it? Very little.

Sigh…

Ok… I’m currently running out of thing to blog and busy with my exam preparations. So I’m going to make this post as short as I can ;p

I’m not a pro photographer(obviously…), I don’t use a pro-set aka DSLR. However I like to cover events especially fashion shows or catwalks. It’s quite disappointing that we seldom get good lighting in Kuching’s shows. OK! Don’t bomb me! This is the fact, I’m not the only saying so, I’ve been hearing these over and over again from those photography friends that I know. I couldn’t agree more with them.

Com’on! If it’s show to showcase makeup or beauty or fashion, you shouldn’t be using those colourful lights that kept changing colours. It’s not a concert, if it’s concert, well… It’s understandable. Shows like makeup, beauty or fashion should use lighting that will make the makeup, models or whatever they are showcasing clear and beautiful to the audiences.

I received a comment recently from somebody saying that only officially appointed photographer can rectify the lighting problems with all his gears. The thing is why only the photographer? It’s a public event. You are supposed to showcase the beauty to the audiences! Yet the lighting uglified them.

From such comments, can I said that those bad lighting are meant to deter the public to take photos? Hmmm… You tell me? If that is the case, then what is the point of showing it to the public?

Furthermore, I got a comment in my other blog lamenting about the bad lighting from the participants herself. She and her teams were extremely disappointed with the lighting.

See?!?! It’s not only me or my friends that thought so. Even the participants themselves were also disappointed.

Last but not least, hopefully there will be improvement for the lighting in such shows in Kuching. I know several organizers that did very good lighting, kudos to you people. For those that “fail” in this area, you should learn from them.

Hmm… I think I will get bomb again. Oh well… Lately I’ve been getting many comments from people that don’t like the way I express myself but I deleted most of the comments. They typed such long comments, very looooong… So long that can be published as a post! Lamenting about my very good English to how pretty I am *LOL* Too bad… I don’t appreciate their hard works *LOL* However, still have to thank them for contributing to my growing traffic. In other words, I make money from my ads due to their visits.

MUAHAHA! Back to revision…

Woken up by the sound of sirens at around 8am or before 8am, didn’t manage to check the time. At first I thought was some VVIPs on the road but the siren was going on and on, non-stop and getting more intense. I woke up, peeped tru’ the window, OMG! SMOKE!! FIRE!! The wooden house(s) was/were on fire! With the morning rush hour traffic and one lane road, it was making things pretty hard to handle for the firemen.

I’m back! Mind you… All my statements are merely from my observations and speculations. I do not know what was happening really. I won’t be making much comments else I’m going to get to be interviewed again like last time. Better save all the troubles and you ppl can assume whatever you like, I’m not responsible to any of your comment.

A: The bottleneck. People are still trying to use that road! The road should be blocked earlier on. I’m not sure when it started but I ignored the sirens for few minutes as I mentioned just now. This was taken not long after I woke up, 8.11am.

B: One lane road, one up, one down. Cars still coming from there and people still driving up to that road. Not far, there’s traffic light and it later jammed up the place. Furthermore many people like to park at the roadside of these two roads, how do you think the fire engine can have enough space to go into the road? Furthermore, there’s already a fire engine there earlier. The road was practically become one lane for two directions of traffics -.-”

C: The fire location. Not sure how bad was the damage but I think the top level of the building is gone. What left is the wall at the lower level.

See how the place started to get jammed?

There was already one fire engine arrived there earlier on. You can’t see it as it was already at the location. Later 2 more came which you can see in the videos.

Left: Firemen found the hydrant. It’s so far away! From one end to another end. -.-”

I thought there’s a fire hydrant near that place, I remember I always passed by that fire hydrant last time when I was still schooling. Maybe it’s not functioning. I saw several firemen walking around the area looking for something, most probably fire hydrant. How I know? I heard one fireman made a statement to another fireman saying, “HYDRANT! HYDRANT!” GOSH! I’m sure the fire department will be getting a grilling session soon by some political parties.

Well… It could be the nearest one was not enough for putting off fire so they have to look for other hydrants to speed up the job. I was not there, so I don’t know. I merely observed and made my own speculations.

The thing I don’t understand is that, they should know the exact locations. No?

Right: I tried to zoom into the wooden house that caught fire.

You see how long and how far they have to connect the hose?

Since the hose had to be laid over the road, they placed make shift bumps so that drivers/motorists won’t drive over the hose. This had posed challenge to many modified cars! *LOL* They mod their car so low that even small bump they had problem getting tru’.

This is higher one, summore it’s not whole stretch, it’s in pieces. So you can imagine! Finally, this BMW got stucked! One of the make shift bumps was stucked under his car (I think…). The policemen had to help by trying to free the make shift bump and helped pushed his car so that it won’t obstruct traffic. The car owner tried to inspect his car but couldn’t see anything coz it’s too low! ;p The photo here showing the “freed” car.

Good thing there’s no wind today but it’s a very hot day. If there’s wind, I really cannot imagine what will happen. Just see from the first photo, you can imagine, it will be a major fire! Whole island of fire -.-”

While I was observing, I saw many people rushed to the scene, they rushed back from work after getting the news. If I’m not mistaken, that place is rented to many people, many people loss their staying places and properties. Seeing the place you’ve been staying all these while with all your belongings now turned into ashes. It’s quite sad.

The videos are up. You will be able to see how the morning traffic caused problems to the fire engines at the bottleneck. Ignore the talking in the video. Just some random statement made by people.
