Brief moment with Dad

After my final FYP presentation, I went to see le Dad at KLIA before he took off for Penang.

le Dad

le moi

I guess I have my Dad's nose.. well the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.. "Mana tumpahnya kuah kalau bukan ke nasi.".. enough proverbs for one day! Anyway.. here's a text my father sent to me before I submit my FYP.. I thought it was so sweet of him :)

well, that's it from me..

AidilAdha 2011

We changed how we celebrate Eid this year.. I guess.. we'll be changing how we celebrate anything from now on..

Briefly after Eid prayer, the whole family went straight to my Grandpa's musollah or in malay 'surau'.. where my Grandma and Mak Cidah were buried.. there lies their graves.. 

It's almost 100 days my Mak Cidah passed away.. so we did a tahlil ceremony for her and my Grandma.. after that we had a small family lunch at my oldest aunt's... her house is just in the musollah's compound.. Not to forget, we did celebrate my cousin's 26th birthday as well..

All in all it was a decent family gathering.. even though I didn't get to celebrate Eid with my parents.. this would suffice :)

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.. 

Van-ning

First time I drove a van in my life... I dunno why... a huge vehicle, windows down, saw-like gear and clutch... it's the perfect combination of a road trip vehicle.. STEREOTYPE! *laughs*

And another thing... I thought the photo that I took above was so beautiful... even though this style have been done over and over.. I still think this is my favorite! I guess with my expression, it's like a road trip gone wrong... if only there's like a tsunami or godzilla... or even my ex-girlfriend's car at the background in the side mirror to enhance the mood *giggles*

When we was young...

...owh man did we have fun

...always... always..

The Strokes - Someday

I've been listening to The Strokes lately and that song just made me reminiscing.... good times.. good times!

The guy with the euphonium

Man I've been wanting to post this... but work got the best of me..

Amir, my youngest sibling joined his school marching band and almost a month ago, they entered a competition held in Putrajaya. I was lucky enough to see him perform with his band... and they came in third place...

I got to take a picture with brother of the hour :P

I'm damn proud of you bro.

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...

In Love with Instagram

I just downloaded an Iphone App... Instagram... and it works like a charm! It kinda lomo-fy the pictures you took.. and you can choose different filters for different effects so you will get the vintage retro feel... analogue is coming back baby!

These are some of the photos I took using Instagram...

The best thing about Instagram is.. you can follow other Instagram users and give on comments their photos.. and it's FREE!!!!
