PhotoBlogging

I would like to try out with PhotoBlogging but my first attempt failed miserably back to few years ago (don't even remember when it is).

The reason is simple, it is really troublesome and the outcome wasn't good at all.

Now this thought just crossed my mind again, but still i refuse to give it a second try because the urge is not as great as the first attempt. I need something more.

Take up two new hobbies recently, Photography and Badminton.

Let me go through it one by one.

The sole reason I take up photography is simply because I bought one DSLR which was first intended to use it as a VideoCam but the interest for photography spurs immediately once I trying out few shots.

Since then, I use it to photograph people rather than doing video recording.

And what's more exciting is that even though I know that I'm still not ready for covering any event, my friends actually called me up and ask me to help covering their weddings.

I was literally nervous, how can he put his hope on a photographer which has experienced just about a month? (since July 30th, if i'm not mistaken) and thanks god it is finish now, only some post editing still haven't been done, and I am kind of negative about the outcome.

And after one finish, another two more coming, one in September 24-26, another one in December. Really hope that as time passes, I'm becoming more and more skillful.

The core reason that I promised to cover their event is that, most of the photographer if not all told me that this is the fastest way to build up your portfolio which at the same time, speeding up your learning process. And friends are always the best trait to start with.

Okay, that's the wrap for Photography, now is on WHY badminton.

Seriously, i wonder how I been involved into it also.

I supposed it all started after I watched matches of my friend - Kok Wing Soon which eventually won HELP badminton's competition as Champion.

I see the fun in that game, and the mind game in it.

It is not just about to hit the ball and make it in your opponent, instead much mental power is involved in a game, just like any other sport.

Since then, things continue to evolved. I went to play, borrow people racquet, bought a new racquet myself afterward, committed to go once a week and even planning to play twice a week.

Sometimes, I had great fun of myself, with them. At times, i frustrated with my teammates and also myself. Team game is even challenging as compare to single.

Now if I really think back, I guess it all started after the time where i should start my thesis,

all kind of hobbies just came out like that, and rather than facing thesis, I spent considerable time in understanding camera model, mechanism involved, badminton footsteps, racquet model and etc.

Anyhow, I wanted to do good in my thesis too.

Perfectionist, I am and I'm as well competitive.

This two superior characteristics (i consider) had pulling myself for so far and I guess they will still propel me to move faster and further.

Thanks to the one who make me into become what i am now.

CHEERS!
