April 24 About my photo essayCurrently working on my Photo-essay. Probly the most serious project I have done ever- I have been out for 3 times, mainly to look for a good theme and sharpening my angle. If you take a look at the album above, you will see a set of photos calls "Bienvenue au MK Zoo". I made it in French coz the word "Bienvenue" gives a sense of passion- it's a real damned warm welcome out there. I thing it's "Warm" becoz there are lots of colours and noises when you are with these animals- and somehow it's surprising that you can find so many animals in MK. Have anyone ever went to MK becoz of the animals? I guess only a few, but MK, probly more famous for the "unusal business"- pimps and "chicks", as what we call, in a colloquial way, altho a lil bit too ignorant or inconsiderate maybe.
Anyway, recently I am working with my Canon Digi Cam, which is handy but slow- always gets decades if I want to review my pics. But the advantage of using such camera is that I don't have to pay too much for films- especially for a non-prefessional gril like me. Okay many people thought I am not really bad in photography but I would say, after a series of assignments and exams and stuff in university eras, I lost my motivation and got a big set back. The course of Journalism gave me courage and sense of journalism, but no longer the heart to express myself through visual channels.
I am still looking for a proper way to draw up the conclusion. Luckily my experience saved me. According to my only-a-few-years-experience, I should "fall in love" with the place and all the people etc etc etc if I want to take good pics. Just like those from Sri Lanka- I have the love, I have the passion, I have the real thing inside, so I can find the essence of the place, and eventually record them on every piece of film.
Of coz, it doen't takes ages for me to figure out that I am not big enough to take great pics but, one more photo course reminds me the happy times in LPC again. It was Adam (I still remember his full name, and his lovely black Yorkshire Terrier ;p) who taught me to use MY camera (we were using the similar thing). He also taught me some simple theories and picturing stuff. He was mean, in fact. He would comment my works with short words like "crappy" but he's a good person indeed.
We used to exchange ideas and even went to take pics together. Yet we were in the same school for only one year. We don't chat with each other anymore (I dunno why), coz he's not a real friend like Ames or Janko? But would like to thank him for giving me lessons, in a BT way :p Anyway, it's not the first time for me to be "independent"- there was the bun festival, NY, NZ, Sri Lanka... and even grad pics for my sister... lots of valuable expereinces... The sense, the technique, the courage... they are all coming up. Every task give me new lessonS- becoz I made big mistake to spoil good pics, I'd never do it again. It's painful but it's the way I learn. I am not a big icon, probly a nut but I love this way of learning.
Okay, hope there will be nice sunny skies tomorrow so I'd go for more good pics. Man, it's time to let my dearest Minolta to take his another important mission!
In fact, I would have been using DSLR or Digi cam, which give very high quality pics as well. But I stand for film SLR. It's not becoz I don't have that stuff but I want myself be more well-prepared and serious for EVERY single photo. It's the way to train myself to be a better photograher.
I hope I can share good pics with you guys- Later, I promise!
(Oh I said I won't write for my xanga site until the exams have gone but I am writing MSN Spaces- they are BLOGs as well, isn't it?! Big nut me!)
April 17 蘇銘倫──又贏比利時騎師蘇銘倫於上星期六（四月十五日）特別返港，出戰短途三關尾關「女皇盃」。憑著曾為他奪得賀年盃的「勝利飛驅」，有「神奇小子」之稱的蘇再次掄元！
是次1.4哩賽事的參賽馬匹尚有由高雅志操刀、馬迷最愛的一代馬王「精英大師」。「精英大師」鬥志旺盛，由頭帶到尾，但到終點前二百米，蘇銘倫使出最擅長的「留前鬥後」，一路趕上，最終以半個馬位首先「映相」，成為尾關盟主。
賽後騎者興奮得從「勝利飛駒」上跳下來。由於第一次失手滾地，所以蘇銘倫再表演多一次，讓攝記「補飛」。向來是風頭躉的蘇銘倫果然夠細心。
由於蘇銘倫要為大老闆旗下馬匹出戰，未能來港參加下星期日舉行的盛事「愛彼盃」。兩匹曾由蘇策騎的打0比賽盟主「爆冷」、出戰杜拜獲得第五名的「牛精福星」正為合適人選而煩惱。相反，「精英大師」繼續夥拍高雅志，或會交出驚喜成績。
March 26 要開始修煉喇～ 今天是星期天，十二時才起床，本來打算完成Editing功課、明天的French Oral和英文功課，但早上收到莊員電話，一直也想約餘下的下莊幹事會面，但又怕大家傳來傳去花時間，倒不如自己做了便算。午飯弄好後一直沒時間吃，所以蒸了又蒸；吃完已是兩點幾三點，手痕心痕開電視看小倫去了  。結果他連贏兩場，包括「主席短途賽」和「打0比賽」，幾百萬獎金袋袋平安。轉眼間，整個下午便在「賽馬直擊」中度過........... 無聊的一天........................
小倫親吻獎盃──後生可畏也！ 還有Media Law and Ethics的功課，要好好的做。星期一開始不再xanga了。防止成績自殺嘛～
大家都要努力啊！ October 31 ego近來甚少寫xanga。認識我的人都知道，是因為生活實在太忙了，根本沒有時去整理自己的思緒，甚至去閱讀自己，重新檢視自己的生活模式。今天才草草的更新了一下，晚上秋涼，忽然令我想在這裏寫幾隻字，但其實很少人會來看的呢！大部份朋友都是上xanga的──不過這陣子也少了，反正大家都是忙到要死嘛。
談起忙和忙的「緣起」，相信星期一至六也要上學的事，已經不能再介意。再介意下去的話，只會令自己更想不開，始終，暑假時養成的懶散，還需要一點時間去戒掉。
近來還沒有甚麼時間去反思一下自己的生活和思考方式，但我的"ego"又出來了。剛過去的三個星期，宗教科唸的是佛教，也有一點點印度教，箇中說明了很多由「自我」產生出來的苦和果... ... 對我來這個基督徒說，是頗新的觀點（還是我孤陋寡聞呢？）。
人很多時都是因為放不下自我，把自我看得太大，所以便常常問「為何偏偏選中我」，誰不知很多事情都有「緣起」。一件事不是獨立個體，選中與否跟我還是你還是他都沒有關──而且從來都沒有刻意地選和不選。只要你身邊的事是那樣發生，也就會影響你罷。這個跟《聖經》中的「安排」，似乎不一樣。佛教相信宇宙中沒有一個主體或領導者，萬物都是互相依賴而產生變化，再互相影響。
我相信世界有 神，相信 神會安排，但我卻時時看不見佛家指出的「緣起」，或者，其實我仍身處「無明」。正所謂今天的我造成明天的我，所以 神的安排其實是為明天的一些事情舖路吧！不過，我太看重自己的痛和苦了，所以根本沒有好好的去放開胸襟，接受生命中所發生的大小事情。
我不相信佛教的輪迴涅槃，但我覺得它裏面所包含的哲理很值得深思、細味。還記得衍空法師告訴我，佛家視痛和苦是兩回事，不是相對，不是絕對，是有與沒有的分別：「佛陀曾說過一個故事：每個人都會遇到兩支箭。不論富或貧，一支必中的，就是生、老、病、死，但第二支，可以選擇不中的，是苦。故事告訴我們，痛，其實不等於苦。」
不是嗎？不等於苦，所以有些人，再痛也痛下去，因為他們望見痛後的得著。
那天之後，我早上洗澡的時候，忽爾想到《聖經》中的一句：「不要為明天憂慮，一天的難處一天當就夠了。」
也就是這個意思吧！
這兩個星期發了惡，希望沒有傷害到別人。要好好的控制一下自己的自我。
