A Getaway from Chilly Melbourne
I was in Bali almost 2 weeks ago for a short 4.5-day getaway from chilly Melbourne as well as involving in a wedding shoot. More on the tour of Bali which I joined my parents before the shoot in later post. It was an amazing experience overall.

With the hot and humid weather in Bali and returning to chilly Melbourne, I am down with a cold at the moment! :( I can't wait to get to the photos taken in Bali but I still have a wedding I did before the Bali trip. Patience, peeps!

Excitements
It's been some very exciting weeks. The fluctuating and subsequent meltdown of global financial markets have resulted in some sleepless nights, especially those nearing the retirement age. Australian dollar has dropped around 25% from the high of USD0.98 few months ago to USD0.67. Singapore has announced that recession has kicked in. Iceland has been officially the first casualty of the global financial turmoil. Will the world experience another big recession after this Black Friday?
Plenty of decisions have to be made and these decisions will chart our future. It's a risky business to venture and a choppy river to ford across.
On another note, I have been slacking a lot with processing photos as well as posting blogs. With another wedding coming up but this time in Bali, I am excited both for the opportunity to shoot a wedding as well as being my first visit there.
Below are some of the pics from a corporate event and a wedding which I'm still processing.

Misuse of Power
Shithead Ah-bar signed and invoked the Section 8 of the Internal Security Act on RPK who champions transparency, accountability and professionalism in the responsibility of managing the country.
RPK was supposed to have a court hearing on his habeas corpus which is unlawful and contravened the Federal Consitution today but this Shithead invoked the ISA which was meant for communism and terrorism threat. He was expected to have the detention declared inappropriate and be set free by the court, leaving the government in disgrace for his arrest under ISA.
Is RPK a threat to national security? Or is he a threat to the bloody BN government and specifically UMNO-Putras! That shows how insecure the SHITHEADS are and willing to stoop lower than an ass' ARSEHOLE to prevent his freedom. His freedom is a further threat to the current government. That is a fact which has time and again been supported by their actions taken against a champion.
Now, what is the move that will be taken by the BN component parties like Gerakan and MCA? Since they are against the misuse of ISA. Are they willing to breakaway to disassociate themselves from the SHITHEADS?
Time will tell........
It is such a disgrace to have such discussions and news overseas. RPK is certainly no communist nor terrorist to have ISA invoked on him (and others).
One wrong move after the other. The government never learn from its mistake, let alone reform within itself.
It's TIME TO TURN THE TIDES now. It's now or never..........!

2nd Anniversary - Coach Chang Lian
Time seems to pass so quickly since the sad news (belated) last year. Today is the 2nd Anniversary of the passing of my beloved coach, Mdm Chang Lian.
It's always been in my mind that I'd visit her again but I was not mentally prepared to do so. Having said that, I'm in the midst of planning for the trip next year.
There was an event that triggered this plan some time last month. I received something from a very close friend of mine. It is a very well-thought gift from her and it meant a lot to me. No one other than my parents and a few friends, especially from the swimming fraternity, would understand this. The moment I saw it, my eyes just welled up for it was supposed to be a place I was to visit during the Beijing Olympics as offered by my late coach but didn't eventualise.
I thought I'd write about this special delivery on this very day rather than in Aug when I received this very touching gift which resulted it being a triggering event.
Thank you very much for this invaluable gift and you know who you are.

Happy Malaysia Day 916
It was 39 years ago, on this very day, Malaysia was bornt. Sabah, Sarawak, Singapore and Malaya were formed to become Malaysia. More than 30 years later, Singapore which broke away stands a lot higher in stature in terms of economy and development!
How a country that has no natural resources, none whatsoever, become so wealthy and very developed with better standard of living?
In a nutshell, a successful business reflects the leadership and foresightness of the management. I'm not so sure of the current government of my birth country. Frustrating and disappointing, it is after 39 years (or 51 years if 31 Aug 1957 the independence of Malaya)!
Anyway, Happy Malaysia Day!
p/s: There will be more photos coming up in the next few days!

Seditious & Racial Issues - WHY
In the past 2 weeks, there have been lots of "discussions" on the racial remarks by this one stupid UMNO-putra, Ahmad Pissmail with other 13 Penang UMNO Division chiefs. Problem is he is unwilling to apologise and still asked the other parties to apologise instead. He is either too proud or having a much-lesser-than-bird's brain. I'm leaning towards the latter for his kampung attitude. First world facilities, Third world mentality just rings right.
WHY are we Malaysian Chinese (pun intended) who should be considered as EQUAL Malaysians are called squatters/lodgers (in this Pissmail's words - Pendatang)?
WHY our PM Bodohwi had the "tidak apa" attitude towards this remark by only stating he would advise this Pissmail not to do it again? Isn't he supposed to take disciplanary actions against this Pissmail who stirred up the racial topics?
WHY not taking him to court on Sedition Act like what the current government is doing to some of the bloggers (ie RPK etc)?
WHY the double standards being treated for this UMNO-Putra Pissmail?
WHY are the topics of Hang Tuah and Hang Jebat being removed from the Malaysian history books for the academic syllabus? Could anyone please explain this? It seems like both the legends are actually of Chinese descendent. That could the main reason why the topics vapourised from the books that were popular in my generation and those before mine.
WHAT difference is this racial topic compare to the Aparteid in South Africa decades ago?
After 51 years of independence, I am disgraced by this third world mentality in the borderless world. UMNO is still trying to play the racial cards in the Malaysian politics. I just learnt that Malaysia is the only country now that still has race-based parties, ie UMNO, MCA, MIC etc.
I do want to see some very stern actions being taken against this Pissmail shithead and his fellow supporters. Sedition Act should be the least and ISA with constant beatings should be the other extreme. I dare the PDRM to do this since RPK and other bloggers are being charged with acts that seem more beneficial to the minority few rather than in the interest of the majority public.
I doubt I am alone in this.......
On a better note, here are some recent photos taken:
Peace out (may be piss off)........
