DW interviews nude photographer

Paraody: To satisfy the paparazzi streak in moi, this mock interview has been set up to better understand what goes on in the head of a nude photographer.

DW: Here Mr Kat, we are really glad you took time off your busy schedule to talk to us today!
Mr Kat: The pleasure is all mine!
DW: Really , Mr Kat. You are the most famous photographer ever...... We in Sin city all worship you like a God..... in fact, our producers have given me the golden opportunity to wash your feet..... come...... Sir, please take off your shoes and let us bask in the glory of the soles that have helped produced those beautiful works that beautifies the curves of a woman's body!
Mr Kat: If you insist......

The next 5 mins is censored for senseless bootlicking and sucking up of various forms which are deemed inappropriate for mass media.

DW: So Mr Kat, How and why do you start shooting women in the nude?
Mr Kat: Well, the woman's body is a piece of art to be appreciated visually and photography remembers every curve for eternity..... not to mention how obedient they can be when you point out to them how serious it can be if the photos end up in the WRONG hands.......
DW: That is so MORALISTIC of you !
Mr Kat: Someone has to do the DIRTY work you know....... ahhhh..... nude photography is the highest form of art...... as a photographer.... you have to teach them all the POSITIONS..... errrr.... I mean poses so that it looks artistic!
DW: Whoa, where do you draw your inspiration from?
Mr Kat: From Overseas of course, they are so advanced in the art of PORNOGRAPHY, errr...I mean Photography!
DW: Mr Kat, we have heard rumors about you sleeping with your models.....
Mr Kat: That's nonsense! I do not sleep with models ! I am not a 60 year old man you know...... I am young and energetic..... don't anyhow write arr.... I repeat that I do not sleep with my models.
DW: Spoken like a true professional ! What advise do you have for the budding nude photographers out there? Some tips perhaps?
Mr Kat: It is never gonna be easy. The models are shy. You have to break the ice.... you have to make sure they are comfortable with your BODY.... I mean presence...... than you can take every natural and artistic fotos.
DW: That is SO enlightening! I am sure all the photographers in Sin City will benefit from your advise. T"hanks for sharing and see you next time on that 5 mintue show.

Do U know that I Love U?

Dear Aver,
3rd November 2007! Another day to remember......
The Ever vocal Pussy Cat decides to make her presence felt and voice her opinions about the value of photography as a medium of expression. The replies came like a wave and after awhile, you were fighting a lone war...... that was when you caught my attention..... I was saying to myself : Here is one Gutsy gal who really have brains and beauty.
You are the feisty little chilli padi and I was the laid back wannabe photographer with a dream.....a dream that I tuck away in the furtherest regions of my mind.... not even daring to fish out for the occasional viewing......
We chatted online...poking fun of the others while exchanging our over the top ideas..... I see a wonderfully talented girl with an equally beautiful mind...... I was intimidated to say the least..... to the point , I even toyed with the idea of calling off the shoot last minute. It was an impromptu suggestion..... and we just meet! How Random are these 2 crazy souls!!!
I arrived 15 minutes early and waited patiently outside. Wearing a black shirt and a jacket.... not the right attire for Sunny Island Singapore..... You breezed into my life in a black long flowing evening gown like attire..... I was stunned!!! Mesmerised by your beauty..... butterflies in the stomach? sounds like the entire garden flying around.... include the bees, dragonflies,birds and ladybugs!
We made our way towards our shoot location.That gothic building in Bugis. Office Building was what we found out and we were only allowed to shoot outside and not hang around at all inside....
I started to teach you how to pose.... there was standing poses....sitting poses and for the first time, you saw me shoot while lying on the floor..... I WAS NOT TRYING TO UPSKIRT YOU!!!!
All of a sudden, it started to rain...... heavily!!! We had no choice but to relocate.... you suggested Clarke Quay and off we go .... half drenched in the rain..... It was pouring ..... thus we had no choice but to sit down and wait at the HongKong Cafeteria in Centeral. We talked and talked....shared alot about ourselves..... and at the end of it..... I knew I was in trouble....... I had fallen for you!!!

Here lies buried Harry Soh

It is with the heaviest of hearts than we are gathered here today to witness the burial of Harry Soh.
Here under our feet lies his meekness, his weakness,his low self esteem,his lack of courage,his hesistance,his failure to do what his heart tells him so,his reasons and excuses,his fear of failure,his frustration about how unfair the world,his anger at being bullied into submission,his lack of guts to speak up for his own rights, his inability to tap into his own personal pool of abilities to manifest positive things in life and his lack of ability to believe that anything is possible.....

Here lies buried the cold,limp body of someone we all hold so dear..... let us all pay our last respects to this soul.

Zombies Alive!!!

Been trying very hard in recent weeks to be motivated in thou's day job. This is incredibly frustrating. When you have finally decided to pursue your dream and do the impossible...... the 1 month notification period is a killer..... everyday, I had to drag my feet to work. Maybe this job is burning my passion away....sucking my energy dry like a psyhic vampire....argghhhh.... the pain and anguish..... it is a repetitive cycle of endless screaming...... when you are in a room with 40 screaming kids for at least 5 hours a day...you tend to lose your sanity very quickly. Even a teacher has advised not to step into the teaching profession. It was good when the benefits were at its peak but there is not much consolation. So much for being a civil servants these days....... Waiting for the start to a new life....... I shall be there.... I shall be the best!!!

Frustration

I am getting rather frustrated at the recent turn of events.

Things have been rather positive on the photography front. Getting deals and loads of enquiries. Even had people smsing me saying they love my works. That is flattering but I really hope to get even better. It is no longer enough to just shoot for fun ...... it is becoming my career....... an obsession to live,eat and breathe the business....... I want to become the best there ever can be. I was a perfectionist when I was a kid,always striving to eliminate all the flaws in my work.That was untill I saw a comic strip that told me that was there was no such things as perfection. I was just happy to laze and chill out after that. What is there to fight for if you cannot be perfect.... my downfall that might have been.

I still hope to become the very best in my trade thou. I am so madly in love with photography that I treat it as an art form.It is the only thing I wake up in the morning looking forward to....... well that and my Dearest Aver of course.......

She is the love of my life. I really cannot see what I would be like if not for her. Despite my shortcomings and insecurities, she has been more than accomodating. Not to mention my mood swings....... My Venus..... my Goddess of Love........

Have just quited my day job recently to go full swing into Photography.The 1 month notice period is a killer. When you have no intention of advancing yourself, staying in a dead end job will be just for the pay-check but when you are on your way out towards something you have always wanted to do...... it gets extremely labourous. Every single minute becomes a chore. Time ticks by ever so slowly with your heart and mind in another place. Argghh... you would wish things can end so you can move on.

I want to be the best in the industry. I want to be the man Aver can depend on for the rest of her life. I want to shower her with care and concern, gifts and time.

Before her,I was lost...... she discovered my gifts and talents and made me believe in myself.

I am moving bravely forward and my dreams I should advance towards. In the meantime, the frustrations continues..... tick tock...tick tock....tick tock.......

Escape

Escaping the hyper real world that surronds us,

What we perceive to be important and essential ,

Might not even have a significance in the bigger scope of things.

A day job while we pursue our interests……

A hobby we named them are all but excuses and safety nets.

Time to get rid of the Clutter and venture forward,

Without even looking back…… holding you dearly in my hands……

I know I will never be alone…… Loving you ,my dear Aver.

Spiritual Awakening

Angelite
Angelite is believed to be helpful in telepathic communication. If two people wished to be connected in that way while they were physically apart they could each carry pieces of angelite. (This connection would be even deeper if the stones were programmed for that purpose.)

As its name suggests it also helps in communication with angels. In addition, you can use it to connect with your animal spirit guides.

Angelite is also one of the light-blue stones associated with the healing of anger. When we think of anger as a disconnection from others it makes sense that a communication stone would help to heal relationships not only with others, but also with oneself.

This is especially true during those days when everything goes wrong. Some people blame others some blame themselves; in either case angelite helps to bring us back into inner and outer harmony, reuniting us with our sense of the Oneness of all life.

Several sources state that this crystal is useful for out-of-body travel. I haven't used it for this purpose, but I suggest for those who are considering astral journeys that they have a piece of hematite nearby for landing gear. Angelite is also recommended for those who have frequent flying dreams.

My experience with angelite is that this recently-discovered (1987) stone has come into being to help us to discover our own innate appreciation of the harmony among all living beings (physical and non-physical) and to powerfully and lovingly communicate that appreciation for others.

Life's numbers

http://www.lifepathnumber.com/en/

Life number: 1 ( independance )

Life Path:
The Life Path 1 drive in this life is characterized by individualist desires, independence, and the need for personal attainment. The purpose to be fulfilled on this Life Path is that of becoming independent. This is a two part learning process; first, you must learn to stand on your own two feet and learn not to depend on others. After you are indeed free and independent, you must learn to be a leader. Many of our Generals, corporate leaders, and political leaders are men and women having the Life Path number 1. The 1 always has the potential for greatness as a leader, but they may fail as a follower. Many 1's spend most of their lives shaking off their dependent side. When this happens, there is little time left for enjoying the rewards to be gained through independence. The individual with Life Path 1 has to overcome an environment in which it is very easy to be dependent, and difficult to be independent.
Positive traits:
A person with positive 1 traits abounds in creative inspiration, and possesses the enthusiasm and drive to accomplish a great deal. Your drive and potential for action comes directly from the enormous depth of strength you have. This is both the physical and inner varieties of strength. With this strength comes utter determination and the capability to lead. As a natural leader you have a flair for taking charge of any situation. Highly original, you may have talents as an inventor or innovator of some sort. In any work that you choose, your independent attitude can show through. You have very strong personal needs and desires, and you feel it is always necessary to follow your own convictions. You are ambitious, and either understand or must learn the need for aggressive action to promote yourself. Although you may hide the fact for social reasons, you are highly self-centered and demand to have your way in most circumstances.
Negative traitsWhen the 1 Life Path person is not fully developed and expressing the negative side of this number, the demeanor may appear very dependent rather than independent. If you are expressing this negative trait of the number 1, you are likely to be very dissatisfied with your circumstances, and long for self-sufficiency. This is defined as the weak or dependent side of the negative 1 Life Path. On the strong side of this negative curve, the 1 energy can become too self-serving, selfish and egotistical. Over-confidence and impatience mark this individual.

'World's oldest blogger' dies in Australia

Olive Riley "passed away peacefully on July 12 and will be mourned by thousands of Internet friends and hundreds of descendants and other relatives," a note on her website said.

The Australian woman described as the world's oldest Internet blogger has died at the age of 108 after posting a final message about singing "a happy song" in her nursing home.

Riley's blog, initially on www.allaboutolive.com.au and more recently at http://worldsoldestblogger.blogspot.com, was "mind-blowing to her," her great grandson Darren Stone said.

"She had people communicating with her from as far away as Russia and America on a continual basis, not just once in a while," he told the national AAP news agency.

"She enjoyed the notoriety -- it kept her mind fresh."

Burning Bridges......

I demolish my bridges behind me...then there is no choice but to move forward.
Firdtjof Nansen

Men fail out of fear of failure. Those who are successful are not fearless but are those who fear failure so much, they have learnt to overcome them.

The Desire to become great....

Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything.
- Napoleon Hill

Every person who wins in any undertaking must be willing to cut all sources of retreat. Only by doing so can one be sure of maintaining that state of mind known as a burning desire to win -- essential to success.

The New AD Splash Page?

Making A Splash in Life!

So what kind of waves do you make?
Abstract Digital Media by Jeri Soh aka yours truely....

Bux.to

Just joined a PTC site recently..... for those who do not know what it means...it is a paid to clicksite which pays you money to click on their ads and stay on it for 30 seconds......

There has been some talk that it is a scam as some recieve their payments very very late but it might just be an investment worth look into.

What happens is you can either be a standard member or a premiere member.....
As a standard member, you get paid 1 cent for every ad that you click. and you can click around 10 ad a day..... 10 cents? not much but this is where Preimere membership comes in. You get 1.25 cents instead and you can buy referals..... and what they click.... you will be credited as well......so if you get 100 referals and they click an average of 10 ads aday..... you earn 10 bucks a day...... n overtime it accumulates.... n if u throw more money in....of course e amount snowballs.

you can check out the site here: www.bux.to and if you like it, you can use my nameas referal. Jerisoh <---- my acc name! Better let it go to someone you know than let it go to waste huh.

Solar Powered I-Phone!!!

May 30th 2008.
Apple files a new patent for the technology which would enable a layer of solar cells to be inserted under a touch sensitive screen of the sort used in I-Phones.

It was only about a week or so ago when my dearest Aver was contemplating getting an I-Phone as the pictures she took with her handphone was not Mac Compatible. Now Apple is coming up with this new technology which will change the entire mobile apparatus industry. Expected to follow suit will be MP3 players and even Laptops. It is not only ECO friendly. It allows the user to skip the hassle of having to charge the phone ever. Unless Apocolaypse descends on us in the form of a giant smoke cloud that threatens to kill all mankind which is possible only if all the Volcanos on earth erupts on the same time..... but that is technically impossible...... but than again if that happens...... who will need handphones anyway?

The updated iPhone comes with a faster internet connection, GPS, video conferencing and the ability to charge its own battery using solar power.

I think I am falling in love with the I-Phone too..... you gotta say my lady here has good taste... the interface is gorgeous with stunning colours and the design is slick and irresistable. The Mac platform is so visually stunning that you will be just blown away........ Drats.... Aver have just brainwashed me into become an apple addict.....

How a REAL apple looks like.....

1Gbps by 2015 !

Technology can be a scary thing. Some people on earth do not even know what a Computer looks like and yet we are gearing outselves up for a Technological Reveloution over the next few years.

For those who are sitting on front of their computers enjoying their 100mbps access...... Don't even be contented with that...... Singapore is intending to get its entire infrastructure up and going so it can support 1Gbps by 2015. That is 10 times what you are enjoying now..... for those with Singtel jamming away at 10mbps..... that is going to be 100 times faster........

Singapore is going Mach 5 in the competition to be a IT hub.

One of the groups bidding for the project, called OpenNet, promises to complete the work by 2010, just two years from now.For those who are wondering what the hype is about...... Well....... a full length movie can be downloaded in mintues instead of days..... of course that is provided your computer is capable of withstanding and supporting it. The technology is already deployed in Japan, Hong Kong and the US...... So we are like living with the Dinosaurs compared to them........

Fibre Optics is the way to go and Starhub has already started to use the technology althou Singnet has followed suit. The traditional line however will not become obsolete as Singtel has stated that some of its consumers might prefer to maintain the cable system while using fibre optics for calls.

Overall, better deal for IT nerds like me...... 2015...... I can't wait......

CONflicted

Posters from the 1970s.......
From a baby born every 11 mintues and the fear of being over populated and not having enough jobs to support the nation...... how far have we all come.....

The Gahmen is now encouraging its people to have more sex and produce more offspring while getting in loads of foreign talents. Wonder how indecisive they can get.....

2 is enough..... wait to have the second..... Take ur time to say yes.....

Due to an ageing population, we have no choice but to overturn that policy.... Desperate times.......

The Colors of Desire

The Right to Censor

What is Censorship?
The word censor has its origins in Rome from the post of the Census who was the magistrate in charge of supervising conduct and morals, examining material and removing whatever is objectable, sensitive or harmful. The modern concepts of censorship are not that different. It is still about the control of speech and other forms of human expression often by (although not) limited to government intervention. The motives behind this are to stabilize or improve the society over which the government would have control. It is basically the suppression of ideals through the regulative structures of the law. This can be done through sanitization (removal of information altogether) or whitewashing (omission of certain parts which are deemed to be in conflict with the system.)
The five main forms of Censorship that can be considered are as follows:
• Moral Censorship which pertains to materials with questionable ethics.
• Military Censorship is the process of keeping military intelligence and tactics confidential and away from the enemy to counter espionage.
• Political Censorship occurs when there is a need to conceal secrets from its citizens. This is to prevent revolts and rebellions and also prevent other countries from taking the chance to exploit the country in times of weakness.
• Religious Censorship is removing material which will be deem objectable or undermine a certain religion.
Corporate Censorship is the process of halting information being distributed that will put the business in a negative light.

Sin???

I see your face everyday even when we do not meet.

I hear your voice even when I know you are far far away.

Why,oh why does my mind keep spelling your name?



In the smallest events of the day,I see your shadow .

Your smile warms my heart in a way none can follow.

I have seen from a distance all that has happened.

Would have loved to help but I know you are ever resilient.

Strong on character yet so pure and sincere

That I find it hard to believe you are not just an illusion.

No heart racing moments like the first puppy love......

But the longing to see and make you happy......

Is like a sin that is ever so indulgent.

Beauty to my Queen of Pain.

In a land of milk and honey,

She steadily grew.

From bud to bloom,

Is all I knew.

The cresent moon and the flaming sphere,

Adding radiance

To the face I hold so dear.

Her every move is like a dance,

Elegant and sleek, full of poise ,

Leaving me in a spell bond trance.

Was she watered with the finest wines?

Cos her smiles send my hearts racing,

And my mind an adrenaline rush.

Looking back,she has traveled far,

Carried by the wind,to our land of tar,

Enduring smoke and dust,

Yet she still grew.

When I pass her by,I always blush,

Cos after seeing her beauty,I fell for her heart.

As water washes the sands away,

I know these feelings are here to stay.

Keys

GOOD morning!

I woke up with a throbbing pain in the sides of my head.
The world is spinning faster and with more intensity with every breathe I take.
With the blood pulsating through my veins, my icy cold fingers tingled.
Regaining the warmth it had lost to the night.

The Sun was stinging my eyes.
A burning sensation that reminds me that I am alive.
I hate being alive!!!

I tugged at the puke soiled blanket that was clean the night before,
knocking over half a can of leftover beer.....
Oh great! A perfect start to yet another day of painful existance.

Elope

Black Velvet robes with blood red petals.
Red hot sweat trickles down her lovely face,
turning into stone and softly shatter.

Lines and curves create ties that bind.
the texture of nib on paper.

A river of silver sequinns and silk flowing down the spiral stairway.
A glimpse of darkness, cold and despair.
The darkness of the abyss draws to a close
as the sun shatters the cold like a forceful hammer.

Tick tock, tick rock, tick tock.... goes the old wooden clock.
Its face of stones so precious and painted gold.....
now all that is left is the paint's peeling folds.

A strange white bird came to rest on its highest ledge.
Move fast she must to escape the prison of iron clad.
Peeking at it's twin, the white bird goes.
A ghost, a wraith, a secret never told.

Her svelte fingers brush upon the bronze hinges and lets the dove in,
She holds it tight in her bossoms, suffocating it in her sweet, young scent.
Downwards she reached to its string bounded legs......
to retrieve a letter......
which says.......

"Tonight we elope!"
Your Knight of the Blade

Bonded by the strings of love n music

Dark

She came in the cover of the night,
in stealth and grace she danced on the blooms.
Waltz around the willow tree as his feather-veined hands caress her silken hair.
The heavy thumping of her heart brought colour to her snow white skin.
With one sweep, she broke free of his embrace,
and continued into the night.....

The moon crept wearily out of her fluffy pillows
and endowed the land with her faint soft glow.

She knew she had only but an instance and bidded her time.
Creeping like the shadows into place
so that only the scent of fresh ,wet soil lingers in the sweet night breeze.
It was nearily time..... the second watch..... the changing of the guards.
She glanced again at the moon that had retired back into its momentary slumber.
She had to act fast.......

She moved like a falling feather.....
undetected as she passed the gate.
The guards has slacken and a smoke from their rolled up weed could they hope to catch.
The lights of the weed crackled and burst into life.....
giving life to the dead still night.
She swept down to her pouch and drew out her weapon......
and struck it mercilessly, twisting and turning......
She thought she had won..... that her mission was complete at long last.....
than a voice came from behind her.......

"It's past your curfew, young lady!"

Congrats to Victor n Elizabeth

Congrats to Victor and Elizabeth who decided to tie the knot on Saturday ,10th May 2008.

Sumerian Vampyre Banishment incantation

Demons that have no shame,
Seven are they!
Knowing no care....
Knowing no mercy,
They rage against mankind:
They spill their blood like rain,
Devouring their flesh and sucking their veins.
Where the images of the Gods are, there they quake....
They are demons full of violence
Ceaselessly devouring blood.
Invoke the ban against them,
That they no more return to this neighborhood.

Hello Citizen, this is your gahmen here........

There is always a sense of drat when you open up the post box and ya see the state's letter head on the top of the envelope.
Did I do something wrong? What is it that you want from me this time?

There is always a sense of uneasiness everytime the government decided to show some concern for the average citizen like me. Parking tickets unpaid, suspension of license an the scariest of them all will be a resevist letter.

You MUST show your care and concern for the nation so you have to sacrifice your time, money and body to protect us.Dun get me wrong....I am all for patriotism,I even have a computer mouse that has the stars n cresecent of the nation on it but seriously, I am at the most productive stage of my life and this is so distracting and counter productive.It is like your mum calling you in the middle of your O levels paper an asking ya to buy some cooking oil home NOW or there will be no dinner....grrrr.....

And please dun try to solve our problems on our behalf.
The last time I checked ...... we just end up in stickier situations than ever.
We ask for better public transport so up comes the gantry n cab fares sky rocketed.

We asked for poverty to be reduced e so up goes the GST.

We asked for better security measures so we end up payin 100 to 300 bucks (when we lose it) for a piece of plastic that we carry where ever we go.

We wanted a fair n corruption free ruling party so the minister's pay go up as well.

Thanks for making the world a better place.

I'm just in a bitchy mood tonight.

The Real Count Dracula

Contrary to popular belief, Count Dracula is not the guy to make blood sucking look sexy on a public media platform and nope he is not a cape donning prima donna with a brethern of sexy female vampires as his henchmen.

Count Dracul was born Vlad Tepes in 1431 in Translyvania. His forefathers were rulers of Walachia and Dracula came about as they belonged to a secret fraternity of Knights known as The Order of the Dragon or Dracul.

Dracula itself meant son of the Dragon or as some call him: the son of the Devil.

Vlad Tepes was held hostage for long periods during his youth by the Ottoman Empire. Upon his return, he was soon made the ruler of his lands. Vlad the Impaler was an exteremely violent man who liked war and enjoyed torturing his victims who are all prisoners of war.

The atrocities made by Vlad in the German stories include impaling, torturing, burning, skinning, roasting, and boiling people, feeding people human flesh (their friends or relatives), cutting off limbs, drowning and nailing of hats to the heads of people.

Impalement was Ţepeş's preferred method of torture and execution. His method of torture was a horse attached to each of the victim's legs as a sharpened stake was gradually forced into the body. The end of the stake was usually oiled, and care was taken that the stake not be too sharp; else the victim might die too rapidly from shock. Normally the stake was inserted into the body through the anus and was often forced through the body until it emerged from the mouth. However, there were many instances where victims were impaled through other bodily orifices or through the abdomen or chest. Infants were sometimes impaled on the stake forced through their mother's chests. The records indicate that victims were sometimes impaled so that they hung upside down on the stake.

Such was his attrocities that he was named Vlad the Impaler and later became the inspiration behind the Character of Count Dracula.

The Origins of Vampirism

From the Book of Night onto Day ( NOD )

Eve was not the first woman that God made as a companion for Adam.

Before Eve, there was Lilith. She who was made the same way as Adam. She was not the submissive specimen that will yield to the demands of God and Adam. She questioned God and longed to claim her birth right. For that, she was casted out of the Garden of Eden.

Not long after, Adam and Eve were also casted out after eating from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Eve bore Adam 2 sons- Canine and Abel. Both were given control over the land. Canine over the plants and Abel over the lifestock. Canine and Abel in turn had to give their their choicest crops and lifestock as a sacrifice to God. Canine's sacrifice was not looked upon positively as Caine's ability to grow and harvest them was born of God's curse upon Adam: that he should toil in the dust of the Earth. Abel's mastery over the animals came from God's gift of the same skill to Adam, and this made his sacrifice pure. Thus Abel was blessed over Canine.

Canine rebelled and murdered his brother in cold blood and flee the lands in fear of God's wrath.

It was during his time fleeing from God that Canine meet Lilith in the lands of Nod, east of Eden.

She gave Caine succor and showed him the power she had found, and Caine, desiring that power, fed on Lilith's blood to gain it. He then fled her house rather than battle her rage and continued his journey alone. Among his newfound powers were invincibility against Adam's descendants, great speed and strength, ability to manipulate time, shadows, flesh and mind; these powers would later evolve into the Disciplines which his children would wield, although with far less potency than Caine possessed.

At this point, Caine was visited by the archangels Michael, Uriel, and Gabriel, each in their turn and offering Caine salvation if he would but seek forgiveness from God for murdering his brother. Caine rejected each offer, feeling that God was a hypocrite and that he was the wronged party; enraged by his lack of humility and the bitter defiance he showed them and God, each angel cursed Caine:
Michael cursed Caine to forever fear fire;
Uriel cursed him to be unable to dwell in sunlight and to live forever in darkness;
Gabriel cursed him to be neither living nor dead, neither human nor beast, unchanging, undying and ever without hope; to feed upon blood alone; that hunger shall devour mercy; and that his offspring shall war with one another, young and weak against old and strong, that he may be their judge and know what it is for a father to condemn his children.

100 reasons why I cannot fail ( Part 1 )

1) I love Aver too much and want to give her a good life.
2) I want to do my parents proud as they have always been there for me.
3) I do not want people who love me to worry about me, parents n Aver included.

Aim

Sitting at mac ....typing away on aver's com....low bat now.
Was planning my future alone while she is in class.
Thinking about wat the big unknown holds.
The idea of venturing out of the little red dot struck me.
I need to be inspired..... there is a need to find myself n others like me.
A few destinations come to mind....Taiwan, HK, China, Australia....Europe but mainly USA....at least creative ideas n individualism n being different is encouraged there.

Random Ramblings

The mandate from heaven demands that the dragon be removed from the throne.

The real meaning of SPCA- Some People Care Alot.

Building character and opinion is important. Otherwise there will be yet another soul-less being on Earth.

Everyday I see Tuna on a Conveyer belt, rushing to pack themselves into a tin.

New AD Creative Productions background?

Tell me what u think about it.......

Weird Dreams

There was a sea of blood on a field of green,
Two sides were at war.......
Flags of two great nations danced in the wind that smelt like death.
The grass was soon soaked crimson as the bodies pile up like a fortress.
The ancient uniforms of red and the enemy blue......
with tall hats that seems like they have nothing to do.
The rifles and their bayonets long.....
run the body thru n gut their prey........
I stood alone in a moutain of carcasses.....
without a soul, those poor little bastards.....
I drew my sword in cold solituide.......
n plunge it down my own throat .......
to escape the haunting cries of the ghostly bugle.

Soul Twin

U r e Air that I breathe,
E reason why I live,
My inspiration and my joy.
The world has given me pain.....
disappointment and frustration.......
And thrown into a scrap pile themed "damnation"

You picked me up and I became your personal toy,
One that will never leave you.
You become my world.....
You moulded me ..... shaped my form......
Gave me the courage to pick up the spear once again.....
To hunt and gather...for the little phoenixes in the nest......
Cos u deserve the very best.

The War.....

Decided to participate in The Singapore Young Photographer Award 2008

Seems like my mum is more or less supportive of me taking up photography as a career..... now to break the news to them that I have other plans on top of that...... slowly break the pain to them? Nah, no time for that.....

Already secertly making plans behind the scene..... ha ha.

Decided to finally wake up n stop slacking.
Better wake up or will lose what I hold most dear in my heart.
But than again, I will be doing it for myself....... cos if i do it for the wrong reason..... for the sake of someone else, I will seriously be in trouble as the motivation is wrong.

Life's a struggle. Now is the time to take up the spear and start fighting. To take the first step requires courage...... so here goes nothing.......

Manifestation

Got an offer for IT trainer this morning. Was half awake when they called.
Seems like I have a way of manifesting things even if it was something subconsciously done.
It has always been that way...... Singtel, OCBC than DBS n finally this IT trainer offer.
Seems like things can happen the way you want it if you put your heart n mind into it.

Shall put my heart , mind and soul into making AD Creative Productions a success.

LittleBirdSittingonaTree

Was chilling out at Dome with me dearest Aver when she told me to draw e little bird sitting on e tree in her poem. Sketched than scanned followed by some adding of colours via photoshop...did another white,white n grey version which is more my style.Deleted e colour version n posted e original as I feel it needs a whole lot more work and being too vibrant and colourful just isn't my style. Ha ha.

Da Experiment 1

Some experiments I carried out to advance my photoshop skills.....

omments n critcs please

Cuppa Cuppa

Reality

What is reality?

Winter DreamZ

Tried my hand at DI again. This time on a coloured photo instead of converting to a pop art feel.
Wondering if it is good.

The Little Mac Shop

Was at home while Aver went down to help "The Little Mac Shop" do up their web site.
Wanted to be by her side to encourage her....... want to help her all I can so I did this in Photoshop....... Photoshop 7......arggghhhh.... badly need an upgrade.
Aver is upgrading to a Mac.... will follow suit soon once I get some assignments in.

Mac is like a Designer's wet dream....... The smooth and sexy contours.......makes you wanna caress her the whole day long...... the bold and loud colours scream personality.... and she hides secrets darn well....you just have to make sure you put your hand near her to catch what she ejects out thou. Not to mention that she is so stunning in white......he he......

Long time since I touched designing...... think I did rather ok for my first attempt in 2 years?
Think Aver can use this either for the company website's background , the namecard or maybe just wallpaper for the computer's in the office.lolx.

Loving Ya!

I believe!!!

When bad things happen to you too often, you tend to be a disbeliver when good things happens.
For the longest period of time, nobody came up to me to aknowledge my talents and abilities.
For the longest period, people have been making use of me and yet being unrealistic critical about it.
Let's face it, they cannot even draw a decent egg and they can say what I draw looks bad.........
Oh Please!!! Look at the mirror before you comment!
I can draw a Van Gogh or a Da Vinci, they cannot even draw a decent square without using a ruler,

Recent Events have changed alot of my perspectives!
I took up photography on a serious basis and started experimenting ........
drawing reference from the great painters instead of thinking from the viewpoint of a guy with a camera.
I know this is controversial but too many people out there just join in organised shoots and get conveyer belt results.
What is wrong with these people? Don't they have their own artistic directions and style?
Some people's minds are just so closed and unreceptive to new ideas.
They just flip their FHM, Maxim or some Jap Idol magazine and start copying what they see.
End result, too many photos that look the same..... BORING!!!
Ha ha, and they can still criticise me and Aver cos we have weird angles and the shoot being over or under exposed.......
All that was done intentionally!!!
They just cannot accept someone who has the BALLS to be different!

I have been running around with my namecards these days and selling my services.
Have been getting very positive responses too.
In the past, when Aver said I have super good angles...... I did not really believe her.......
Thought she is saying that cos she is my girlfren n just wanna make me feel good about myself.
I just like to experiment and do things differently..... something that comes naturally to me.......
so it did not feel different to me.
Meeting up with the people who are your potential customers is an interesting experience!
And they said the same thing as Aver: I LOVE YOUR ANGLES!!!!
Okie okie...... I am convinced now........
Even a few friends I lost contact with sort of looked thru my portfolio and even showed their friends and yup....same results.... Super with angles!!!

Okie , Okie.... I believe now..... I have very creative angles and an unorthodox shooting style!!!
Now to move on with the show.....to show the world that JERI CAN BE THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHER IN THE WORLD!!!

The Devil who stole my heart!!!

First serious attempt at playing with photoshop after a long layoff..... absolutely did the unimagainable by making the picture look so different from what it was.... luckily I am the photographer and the model is my gal. End results look so pop artish n so not me..... ha ha.... but than again I am someone who pushes the limit. The normal stuff anyone can do....it is only when you try to be different do people take notice. Who will remember the names of the guys who tried to imitate the Mona Lisa? It is a time to be bold and outrageous as that is the real me...the real deal!

Preshoot with Tung Tong and Aver

The above picture is credited toTung Tong: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tungtong/
For those readers out there who do not know know me that well........
I am a photographer who has fallen in love with my favourite subject matter.....
my dear model -Aver who is now my girlfriend......
Was somehow stuck at a certain level in my photography and was wondering how I could manage to find a break thru.......
That was when we meet Tung Tong........
He has God Like DI skills!!!! Totally! No kidding.... just see the pic above for evidence!
And he can still say he is not good at computers!
And his eye for the world is so different!!! Check out his website and you will see why!!!

Inspires me to do my own DI....cannot be lazy anymore...... must work hard.......
Just as Bruce Lee had said years ago: If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend.

Thus my breakthru is one that comes in the form of making my mind like water...... continue to be inspired by those around me....... do not be restricted by perception....always searching for a breakthru..... n off course....working very hard!!!!

Really gotta thank Tung Tong for this! Skills and techniques can be taught but the most powerful way to impact someone is to change their mind......
Thanks , Dude!

The Price for Talent

How does one measure talent? Definitely not with a measuring tape or cup.......
How does one honor talent? Not by monetary rewards but the recognition for the hard work helps.
Talent is not something you can learn from a textbook or from selfhelp tape.
It has to be inborn and when time allows and the surrounding is willing......
does one grow to greatness.....
Like diamonds in the rough.......
that was formed from the extreme conditions of hot molten lava.
extracted to be cut and polished to perfection ,
so its greatness and shine will last for eternity.
A diamond is priceless...... so is talent!

Dr Secret

Click to be suprised!!!

Frustrations

It's raining again..... another dark and gloomy day......

The world just do not have a hi tolerance for creative people.
It is growing increasing frustrating to wake up everyday to constant nagging from the people around you. They think you are not doing enough and keep expecting more from you.

Study harder..... get better grades...... get a girlfriend...... find a good job........ get married.......

The social norms are getting more and more disturbing. Success is measured by the size of the car you drive,how beautiful your gal is or the number of zeroes in the bank account etc etc. People who throw caution to the wind and try to pursue their artistic inclinations are often frown upon. The system works in such a way whereby there is a common ideal way to live and anything different will render one and outcast.

Expectations only go up and never goes down...... it is like a helium filled balloon....... you are only expected to float upwards and nothing more.

I don't think I do well as a surbodinate. Never been a good listener and it seriously cramps my style. I have my own way of doing things and people hate me for that. I get easily irritated and unable to perform my best when I have to supress my creativity .

Even as a kid, I was not happy just sitting at the sidelines being a supporter. I am someone who wants to do something with my life but 99% of the time, people just hold me back and it seriously cramps my style. A phoenix cannot act like a little bird forever....... it is destined to fly to the heavens but when people keep telling you that you can't....it is disheartening.I have enough of all
this........

I Wanna fly....I wanna fly..... I WILL FLY....I WILL FLY!!!!

Maybe deep down inside, I am just a frustrated artist who is chained down by what the world wants and expects..... but I WILL FLY....... cos I know I can!

Beary Least

It's wonderful what kind of pictures you can get from shooting a wedding.lolx

Dark Secret

Dear Aver was not really in the mood today, thus we cut the shoot short.... but with her photoshop skills ...we actually did rather well.

Drawers

Rolls upon rolls of vertical drawers,
Where men try to climb.
The submit of the colony,
To claim rights divine.
Strolling along sand filled streets,
till chance do they meet.
Swirling their stick like hands in motion for food,
The right to mate and land.
In Coloured match boxes they scurried forward.
Thru life to death,
The soulless march.
Painted faces, forgotten names.
Just a number, a statistics.... what a shame.
On and on the ferris wheel turns.
Light, images and sound into the mind they burn.
Steeping forward thru the window.
onto the hands of time.
who will forget you and continue to chime.
A forgotten name.......
they all sigh.

Aver

Love is a wonderful thing.
I was like a lost sheep for so many years of my life......
wandering around without an aim.......
Losing track of time and traces of my sanity as the sands of time slips bymy hands.
It is very hard to remain sane when the people around him do not understand.
You will always be that unrealistic dreamer ........
Someone who is going to be left behind by the flow of time .

Ever waking moment was a horror.
Without fail, self doubts and insecurity tortures and torments my soul.
It tears me apart as a part of me longs to be fee to fly.......
with my easel and canvas to paint the world.
Another part of me begs for me to be realistic and feed the body rather than the soul.
Countless nights have been spent tossing and turning around in bed.
Fighting the war from within......
one with no half time or pit stops.......
just endless screaming as reality sticks a knife into me and slices me apart.

A tormented soul,I have been.......
now my salvation has appeared.
Your softness of touch has awoken me from my slumber......
the dreamer has becomer a DO-er,
and grows in strength every day from you sweet scent and charm,
I do not know what I will do without you,
my sweetest Goddess of love.....
My Venus.......
My eternity.........
