Sherlock Holmes – A Game of Shadows!

I watched this movie yesterday and find it very good. I would rank it just below the movie Inception.

Wake up late in the morning; either listen to music, surf the net, read books and magazine; have lunch; back to music, internet; then dinner. Except for certain days, everyday is the same routine.

Huge camp is a week away! Looking forward to camp.

This time of the year reminds me of end of last year. It was at the end of December last year, I was on my way back from Youth camp. At the beginning of the journey, my parents called and decided that I would be attending National Service which will begin in just a week time. I wasn’t disappointed, but was sad, the similar feeling you get when leaving a country, or school or the present you have been in and very comfortable with.

Sigh.. one year has come and another year will begin soon.

Then, in November and December, its time to hit the books to prepare for AS papers which will be held 6 months from then.

Justin Beiber. Many girls love him, while there are guys who are just jealous and dislike him. I would admit, I dislike him a little, much more for his song, ‘Baby’. This has changed, I think he is very talented singer. Just a couple of weeks ago, he released a song ‘Mistletoe’. A week later, another song sang by Beiber, ‘Chestnuts’ surfaced on YouTube. Both songs are Holiday Songs, they are so relaxing and soothing to the ears.

Don’t you like both songs?

I only came to know of Jayesslee for less than a month. After watching several of their covers on Youtube, I instantly like them!

On the 22nd of this month, Jayesslee came to Malaysia and performed in a one night concert at PWTC. I enjoyed the concert so much. It was awesome. I enjoyed all of their songs but one song in particular was my favorite, that is, ‘Dare To Move ‘ which is originally sang by Switchfoot.

I did catch them again the next day at City Harvest Church. They performed a few songs and shared with us their past and struggles. Listening to their sharing for the second time, I was encouraged. After service, Jayesslee had an autograph session. I managed to get their autographed signed and also a photo with them. So nice of them!

My best weekend ever! Here are some photos of them.

I’m missing Jayesslee sooo much! They have amazing voices. They are gorgeous, goofy, inspiring, and they radiate so much positive energy.

Thank you Jayesslee! =) Hope that Jayesslee will return next year! Looking forward to thier first album!

I hope that people will come to realize that abortion is wrong. Abortion is taking a life away, how could it be right?

Let us get it right!

Luit is a nice waterfall, consisting of two cascading falls. There is a big pool below the fall, probably 20 meters in both length and width. I was too busy taking photos that I didn’t have time to wade in the pool.

The entrance of Luit Waterfall is located along B55 trunk road after Kuala Kubu Baru. As you drive along B55 towards Fraser Hills, turn off right at Kampung Pertak and drive on for 500m. The trail to Luit Waterfall is the same as to Bukit Kutu, before diverting left. (Please refer to map attached)

The trek was quite easy, gradual gradient. Although the trail isn’t steep, it is not a short hike. The waterfall is quite deep in. As we got deeper into the jungle, the trail became less and less distinct. We had difficulties finding our way.

Trails near waterfalls or rivers are infamous for leaches. True enough, there were armies of leaches along the trail! I was bitten four times! How nasty!

We took 3 hours to trek to the waterfall and 2 hours to return. Net ascension is 430 meters and trek distance is 7.4 km

They are cute and very active. For the first 15 minutes, I had a difficult time nailing a good shot of them. They ran all over my garden. I allowed them to play and run around till they tire.

I used two lens, Canon 15-85 IS USM and Canon 50mm F/1.4 which I got a couple of months ago on a Canon 50D. I find the 50mm’s focusing system sluggish and I have to be very careful in selecting focus point when the aperture is wide open.

Since I don’t have any reflectors, I took the photos in the evening where the lighting is better. It worked well enough.

Here are a few of the shots I took.

This is a place that is full of ‘awkwardness’. A place where weird people with funny sense of humor gather. It deserves to be awarded the best social networking site ever, also a micro-blogging site. Speaking about social networking, its method is very awkward and you don’t actually say ‘Heyy, how’s your day?”.

A place where the phrase ‘awkward moment …’ and ‘like a boss’ are made popular. It’s also a place where you find the ‘troll’ face all over it.

That’s a very big clue. But if you still don’t know, here’s another; It is a place where stealing and re-blogging people’s post is widely accepted and practiced.

Well, I’m very disappointed if you have never heard of it. It’s TUMB1R Mind you, there are no ‘L’ in it, but ’1′.

According to wikipedia, tumb1r was found in year 2007, that’s 4 years. In that time frame, it has grown so much that as of May 1, 2011 Tumblr included more than 5 billion total posts and over 17.5 million total blogs.

I’m quite new to tumb1r, about 5 months. But, I’m already hooked to it. The best way to know more about tumb1r is to actually own one. All you do after that, is re-blog posts you like. If you have no idea what to re-blog, follow me at SpamWorks. Weird name right, that’s how tumb1r works. My blog is orientated to humor.

I’ll end my post with an Awkward statement – That awkward moment when the awkward moment isn’t even an awkward moment.

Have a nice weekend!

Since young, I like Avril Lavigne’s songs a lot. She is the first artist I came to know about. Back then; my favorites are When You’re Gone, My Happy Ending, I’m with You, I Will Be, Girlfriends… I could go on and on. She was my favorite artist together with Simple Plans. She sings well, the lyrics in her songs are meaningful and not too repetitive. Better still, she is pretty! Don’t you think so? The best feature she has is her eyes and the pink streak on her hair. I still remember back then, I wish I would marry a pretty Canadian! Because of her, I had the thinking all Canadians are pretty and hot. Haha.. How naive I was. XD

If you have never seen her, here’s a picture of her. Now, she no longer spot the pink streak, but a more green streak on both sides!

After a long break, 4 years to be exact; she recently launched a new album, ‘Goodbye Lullaby’. From the album, ‘Wish You Were Here’ and ‘Smile’ is my favorite. Although, the song ‘What The Hell’ is very popular, I find it weird.

She is still one of my favorite artist alongside Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, BEP, and Taylor Swift!
