Two point Eight on a Sunday morning

the Scene

Every click counts now! Yeap, now with the Luxury Lens i just need to learn on controlling my white balance and lighting. It was a very great day to bring my 24-70mm to its first shooting. Probably i'll be doing another shooting soon.

The internet connection is a quite slow now a days. Probably due to the heavy downpour that's been on since last week. So you might experience a very slow loading from Marriz-Scene blog. It shouldn't be too lag as i've set the picture to a smaller file. So anyway, please Stay Tuned for more!

A great Sunday Morning..

AJ AD and DK


Sunday morning rain is falling *sings.. Well, lucky for me to have a long weekend last week. Since i don't have anything on my long Weekend, i decided to have my first photoshoot session at the Empire and Country Club. With the test lens, Canon 24-70mm L f2.8 USM. I was really amazed of the colours and sharpness it produced. Thanks to my subjects for that day, AJ, AD and DK for the teriffic morning. Will update more. Stay tuned everyone! ohh btw.. my picture orientation might look like the subject is distorted. I'm still adjusting my HTML codings.. Please comment on it =)

Grand Celebration for Mr Syazwi

Poco-poco

Last weekend, a belated grand birthday celebration for the youngman Syazwi who just turned Twenty-Five on the 26th of February 2009 was held at his crib. So many friends and family attended the silver jubilee. I was equipped with an L-lens Canon 16-35mm f/2.8 L USM. and Canon 75-300mm f/3.5+. The Luxury lens was awesome, but i just need to learn to control my aperture priority.Anyways, enjoy the pictures.

Job Vacancies


Not that i don't have any other pictures to share with you all, but this time i'd like to share with you about taking opportunities. Making the right decision, thinking ahead, dream about tomorrow and at the same time realizing the current situation.

With the current issue of unemployment in our blessed-country, I don't think these youth would bother about the real economic situation. Well to be frank, i was like that before. Like, being spoon fed all the way. We would call it as being too "manja"(spoiled brat) too depending on being provided free facilities and services.

Free facilities and services? Hmm.. What i mean is like our parents is providing us everything. A place to stay, A car to drive, Food to fill our tummy, Pocket Money and so on. Just imagine how they really take care of us, LOVE us so that we wouldn't do bad stuff like taking drugs etc.Willing to sacrifice a lot, like taking loans for our education for example. What i understand in Europe or the West, parents charge their child who are above 18 for their accommodation if they're still living with their parents. But Im very Thankful that our parents doesn't charge us event one cent, which we SHOULD be very thankful of.

So why should we be very egoist, being an ignorant, complaining all the way and proud of something like this, when we are not making any effort ourself? We as the children of our parents should put in mind that we have to make an effort and build our own path to our own success. Eventhough we have the advantage of using our parents name (where they have reached to the top with their own sweat) but wouldn't we like to be known for our own success?And with that success that we build, the same thing that we are going to pass on to the next generation. Think about that.

Work life is not easy. Well, who say that working is not stressful? what i know is that every work/job is stressful. And we just have to learn on how to control it. Seriously, based on my experience i do have the feelings of wanting to quit working but to think of it, that's not a wise move. Never think that youre too smart nor too dumb. Always learn to decide whats best for you and your family and your future path.

Therefore, to my fellow readers, family, friends. I have a quote that i heard from someone who have just passed away that's been read by his family member during the funeral service. It goes like this "You can dream the future, but today is today"

I hope, this article wouldn't offend anyone, its just a thought from me that i would like to share.

**Message: Article inspired by the true situation and the BDTVEC results thats just been published for intake 2006-2008 of Business School. Congratulations to all of my friends.
