Lil Miss Liss

This post is dedicated to a dear friend of mine, Norlisa Soraya or as we call her, Lisa or Liss :)

She's going away to further her studies in the UK soon.. She'll be leaving Malaysia early January.. One thing about her is that she's a very popular (muahaha!) girl, so it's very hard for us to actually go out with her unless we made an appointment or some sort with her first..

About 2 weeks ago we planned to go for a karaoke session, but the plan got canceled.. thus I promised her I'll make it up to her...

...by playing badminton like we used to for one last time.. atleast for now *innocent smiles*

I can say that she really knows me quite well.. I guess because she's a good listener.. Everytime we got stressed out, we will go out just the two of us to the lake and just talk, sing out loud, share our problems and simply pour our heart out on each other.. we've been doing that for almost 3 years already.. No one actually knows where we went as we don't talk about it.. it's just our little secret.. well now you guys know about it *laughs*

Our last Tasik Session with the exception of Azmira who took this photo

So after this no more Geng Tasik or GT.. no more summarizing every episode of How I Met Your Mother.. no more making fun of her height during badminton as she is below the net *muahahah!!!*

Good luck Liss! Thank you for all the time we spent together at the lake :)

P.S, Maher did a video of her giving a speech *diva much? hahah* feel free to check it out at his FB.

A Photograph

"A photograph is just a memory.. It has nothing to do with the present nor the future.. It's just a tool to show how much we've change." - Kamil Hafidz

2 months sober

How long has it been? 2 months?! Wow.. that's a personal record for me.. It's not that I've been out of the blogging world for 2 months.. but I was just being a silent spectator all this while.. my muse is missing *sigh*

Honestly I don't know what to write.. haha.. well.. enjoy some of the photo I took yesterday..

Sorry guys.. no story today.. *facepalm*

Made by Malaysians: Mat Luthfi's Video Response

If you guys really follow the Malaysian Youtube community... then you must know our fellow vlogger, Matluthfi90. Recently, this is what he vlog about...

So in response to his video, this is what "The Crib" *me and my fellow housemates* made courtesy of our very own PandaMerah...

Unfortunately, Alan already went back to his hometown to finish off his fasting there.. So we were short of 1 member...

Never the less, off all the video responses from many Malaysians, this particular one caught my attention..

She's half Malay half Chinese!!!! She even add a proverb in her response *major turn on!*... truly 1Malaysia... *giggles*

Anyway, we would like to wish all the Malaysians out there a very happy Merdeka Day and  to all the muslims out there, happy eid mubarak... maaf zahir dan batin :)

Weekend in Penang

Guess what.. I went back to my hometown, Penang for the weekends.. with my boys... simply because we're spontaneous! Note to girls; you're reading a blog of a very spontaneous 22 year old guy.. Imagine the places we could go when we're bored.. hahha.. so make sure you guys are single aite.. *giggles*

anyway.. lets get back to the main story.. luckily for you, I don't have to sum up all the things we did in Penang, because we all know, you guys are tired of reading my 1st grade essays right.. all thanks to my friend who is also a blogger like me.. a matter of fact, he upgraded himself into a vlogger.. the infamous PandaMerah! *and the crowd goes wild*

enjoy..

Can't wait for our next spontaneous getaway..

GO CRESCENT!

CRESCENT! Yep.. that's what we'll always shout before our game start... Yesterday was our last match for the semester... it was against Nemesis... and guess what.. We won!

3-0 dude! after every match, we would always review our gameplay, and after every match our team gets better.. and the last match was the finest! Even though we were 11 guys and there were only played with 9... so we kinda had the advantage.. that doesn't mean we were overconfident and looked down on our opponent..

All in all.. of all the 9 matches we had during this semester, this is our first win... we had a draw and 7 losses.. *laughs* what can  I say... we're a team that is constantly improving... but I have to say.. I our greatest defeat was against Kacang FC where they beat us at a staggering 5 to nothing... I mean.. how bad can you play until you conceded 5 goals?? hahahah..

Another defining moment was when we drew with Atletico Assaceno... Both our goals came from our superstar player Andiano.. yep that's his real name... and both of the goals were from a long range freekick...

I have to say our team highlight was when we lost to Barcala FC... little known fact.. majority of the players from Barcala are close friends of us and we even train on the same field like next to each other.. so there's this rivalry going on between us.. but there's no need to fear.. it's all good competition... Even though it's just a mere 2-1 defeat, we felt good because we controlled the game especially the 2nd half.. we were just out of luck in the scoring department... plus one of their goals was a penalty shoot out.. Never the less.. a goal is still a goal.. a goal can differentiate a team between winning and losing..

So this is all the match we played;

vs Mantis - 1-2
vs Staff - 0-2
vs Atletico assaceno - 2-2
vs Saracen - 0-1
vs Sejuk - 0-1
vs Abu Dhabi - 0-1
vs Kacang - 0-5
vs Barcala - 1-2
vs Nemesis - 3-0

I really hope Crescent will still go on for next semester.. but I don't really have the time to go to practice and matches and I will be doing my internship at that time.. Insyaallah...

Here's some of the photos Shamin took during our last match...

Petrosains - The magic in me

This was recorded earlier this semester.. Before we were all too busy to have a social life.. physically that is.. We went to Petrosains KLCC because Shamin wanted to get some inspiration for his final year project...

Cute, Customizable and Pixelicious

Pixelotts Promo Video from kamil hafidz on Vimeo.

My latest work with my Canon 60D... I know it's not my best work.. not that I have any... but I feel good about it...

For all of you who are a technical junkie out there... I used After Effects' motion tracker for the first shot... I wanted to use the motion tracker for all the typography but the video I shoot was not good at all as the tracking points aren't as clear and detail as I want them to be...

There were a couple of shots where I use a plugin call Twixtor to make them slow-mo. There's the shot where Mein was holding the Rantai.Art Event flyer and Ecah... For Ecah.. the slow-mo part was actually quite fast but you can see the slow-mo effect on her hair...

As for the ending part... I don't have that much time so "The End" was the only thing I could muster up... I started editing the video around 3am until 9am... I slept soon after that and woke up at 12 to add the music... and owh by the way... the music I selected is Fader by Temper Trap.. but this is the Adam Freeland Remix.. eargasm!!!! 

I like to thank Mein, Ecah, Syira and Alia for giving me the opportunity to make this video for their Cyberprenuership group, Pixelotts... I would like to request to be the Pixelotts official photographer and videographer... hahaha... I'll hand in my resume and portfolio first thing in the morning.. *wink*wink* 

Candid Happiness

I cherish the simplest thing that life has to offer me. So everytime I see people especially my friends laughs and smiles without me noticing... there's this sudden burst of happiness inside of me.. I feel like an audience watching this sitcom called "Life". *ok poyo*

Little known fact about me is that I really love to snap pictures of people without them noticing.. sometimes I feel like a part-time paparazi *laughs* But most of the time I feel like I'm capturing those really innocent, meaningful and true moments of my life. 

Everytime I flash my Iphone or my camera.... I'm hoping that the person I'm looking thru the viewfinder is not noticing... so that his/her expressions are real and not posing for the sake of looking good in the photo. Sometimes when I got caught trying to take their pictures.. they often smile for pose... it's okay but the innocence is gone... I'm that fussy... for example, a friend of mine is telling a really scary story with the expressions included... but as I try to snap his picture, he tried to smile.. so I failed to capture a very expressive story-teller and I got just another pose-for-the-camera kinda picture.. 

Get what I mean; priceless expressions!

I always like to show the photo I took to them as I hope that they could see the beauty I see...  But lets be frank... most of you guys know I love taking pictures of people sleeping.. cuz I don't sleep! hahahaha...

More candid pictures to come! This I promise you...
