Once again, CHMS Alumni Association’s annual PairGo tournament is held this coming 12th, 15th and 16th December 2008. The opening match will start tomorrow and we had our annual meeting just now at across CHMS Alumni’s broadroom. A pair of male and female forms a team, each player took a turn alternatively between opposing teams.
After the dismissal of the meeting, Xinwen and I sat down to produce both the tournament timetable and the scoring table. Here it is.
Team 1 consists of Peng Hui & Hui Yee
Team 2 consists of Victor and Sarimah
Team 3 consists of Ho Soon & Mizah
Team 4 consists of Haidar and Chiaw Yee
Team 5 consists of Hong & Hui Chee
Team 6 consists of Sun & Zidah
(as shown in the table above)

// Come again for an update on the table. (hopefully)
// Last training day before the tournament date. Everyone is concentrating on their games.
// Chiaw Yee, Ho Soon, Makai, Victor (left to right)
// A 50mm f1.8’s lens on the ‘Baduk’ (GO) Board.
// Xinwen and his sister, Laetisha.
// My Basic Photoshop skill + Basic Photography skill = Basic Poster.
I like the output. The colour combination of the text found on the lower half of the poster is actually the colour combination from the CHMS Alumni Association’s logo.
Dear readers / visitors, this is all for now. Thanks for reading.

SATA (Something about the author) : I love holidays, you can sleep whenever you want, do whatever you want without any time constraits. You can eat and drink as much as you want, especially fatty food and gas drinks, without the risk of experiencing any fatique or tiredness.
Greetings fellow readers, hope you guys didn’t get bored of the RTB Singing Competition Round 2 appearing as the first title once you log on to http://yclife.wordpress.com. I spared myself some time to write an update, life has been quite of the same routine until 20th July 2008 where I acquired something new. Continue reading along to find out. (NOT skip down).
Since the post of Silhouttes of Silverplay at beach, I’ve been using Adobe Lightroom for various photo adjustment. It’s powerful and fun application to play around. One doesn’t need to have great skills to edit the cropping, change colours and settings to achieve a style that you like. For new users, its under the ‘develop’ tab to create magic and exaggerate fake colours after importing images into LR. The colours in the picture below is fake, just like the colours of the cloud in Silhouttes of Silverplay at beach too.
// The original colour of the background is orange. Can we call this silhoutte?
// I love this shot. Got it by shining the Me2u bear in an angle using a desk lamp. After archiving the light direction, I used LR (Lightroom) for adjust White Balance, Vidnetting and Colours. It’s the benefit of having a sister who got these cute stuffs. What’s my benefit to my sister then? hm..
// We went CheeseBox, (or is it CheezBox? or CheezeBox?) for lunch yesterday. The picture of the curry is dull when i transfer it straight from the camera. I have used LR to ‘increase the taste‘. (Note: It’s not the best Curry picture, I just snap at it when it arrive, but it definitely look tastier than the one without editing, -i’ll post it below).
// This is Amilyn, another candid with increased contrast to darken the messy hair.
// Jeewei, a black and white style.
IF one is lazy to ‘drag the slides’ in LR left and right to find the right colour, he/she can just hit on the ‘present‘ (a pre-set style) available and get instant auto effect. Like this one below,
// Carmen in Sepia mode with one click. Fast & Efficient.
I mentioned about the dull curry photo right, here it is.
// the dull curry. does it seem to taste better in the above picture?
Without dragging the ‘Main Topic’ here for too long, let me proudly present my EOS 400D! I have just one from Barri from BruneiForever. All the pictures in this post are from the 400D. After owning 400D for 2 days, I’ve been bringing IT around everywhere I go. Pictures from here onwards straight from the camera without LR edits.
// So far, I had eaten Satay with IT.
// I shoot my sis with IT (this doesn’t sound right…)
Btw, with a cleaner background AND a better laptop, this can be a potential “go broadband advert’s” photo.
// I drove with IT.
// Last but not least, I’ve slept with it. (ok, I’m assuming 400D is a female)
These are the few shots which I took after acquire 400D. I hope I’ll be able to take more amazing shots. Let’s see how far can I go with the 400D + LR + Photoshop combo. The real cost of this hobby comes AFTER you get yourself a camera, now I need a Camera Bag, Tripod and a 50mm f1.8 II lens. Maybe a faster new notebook (I’m still using Celeron M, 256MB, 40GB!) , Camera flash and definitely more lens in the future.
Something about the author (SATA) - Out of nowhere, I felt that my command of English language deteriorates. All these years, I’ve been using almost same grammar and vocabs without much improvement in my creativity. I realised that whenever I write, I just type what I wanted to express in simple english and just post it. (including this post too). I’ll be reading more starting next week and hopefully I’ll come out with a good coverage on the Final Round of RTB’s Mandarin Singing Competition 2008.
Many exciting events is going to boom in my life (just a forecast), I am going to buy an organiser to keep myself organised. One of them is the formal acceptance into UBD (University Brunei Darussalam). I have some great plan ahead in UBD. Where will we stand 4 years down the road? Will my circle of friends in UBD friends for life? That I’ll stuck with them for years and become family friends eventually? This includes Shenny, Carmen, Kaiping, Hanwuen, Jenny, Joanne, -insert-your-name-here- as well as friends from KB namely Chiuyen, Emily and of course, more to come. (Maybe, I’ll make one ’stress’ post about these soon).
With 4 years down, how much would we evolve? what kind of skills we’ll obtain, will they be a new personality change in us? What kind of part time work will we land on? Would there be any financial problem again in UBD? What club to join? Would we get any trophy in 4 years period? Will my blog rolls increase to 100 people? Will Shenny finally get her CV out in 4 years? =p
Nevertheless, I look forward in knowing new great friends and I don’t want to live through the 4 years in Uni calmly. Let’s do something great & memorable starting on 29th July 2008 (Orientation) onwards!
Readers, don’t get drifted too far in your sea of thoughts, pop back to present and reality & start clicking the ‘comment’ button (beside the title) for the usuals. Thank You very much.

This is just a teaser for my next blog post, which consist of photographs taken after the Tri Xtreme Season 2 Stage 1 with Shenny Tang, Carmen Chang and HanLuen HanWuen. We went to Tunku beach to enjoy the beautiful sunset view. Everyone got the mood for photographing, so i seize the chance and took many great silhoutte shots. This post will be updated very soon so stay tune!
@HanLuen – You’re so gonna regret your decision of not coming.

//we’re trying to do the ‘Thousand hand buddha’ but one of the poser came out with ‘indian god’ posture instead.
//relax by the beach with sunset. The colours is nice, but i guess the hand posture is wrong, i’ll take note next time.
//loving the sunset (sun is not visible thought)
//one of my favourites! It is (the photo) and he is very cool.
//the harmory
//and quarrel. haha
I was trying to get as many nice silhouttes as possible before the sun sets so i kept instruct them to make poses. It was fun and I think they are happy with the photos as well.
//Originally wanted her to pose something cool, it turned out to be the ‘i-can’t-hear-you’ pose. lol

//some random pose.
//what did they discover? This is a very nice blue. The more I look at this picture, the more I love it.
Till here first peoples. Comment and drop by again for the most special pose of all in this post which I’ll update soon. Stay tune . . .
I treasure the pictures and memories forged that day. We went to the beach a week later, expecting to have more nice silhouttes but we couldn’t get it. The mood and feeling is different and its not as nice. Let’s take the ‘Quarrel’ picture as a sample. If we go to the same spot, did the same pose and adjusted the same colour, the feeling will be different and weird. IF we made HanWuen to make that breakdance stand again and shot it, it will not give the same impact as this one. Maybe, all the pictures gives the same feeling to my fellow readers, however, each of the photo gives a different ‘feeling’ to each of us.
It is like, we can still remember the sound of the wind, splashes of wave against the rock, the voices and laughter, the annoying photographer’s request for poses and the fun that we enjoyed. Anyone agree with me? (shenny, carmen, hanwuen & hanluen, do you feel the same too? )
Therefore, (i think) a photograph does not only capture the moment, but the feelings as well, and it means different feeling to different people.
Now, for the special jumping pose.
//Shenny’s Jump with Orange background.
//Carmen’s jump with blue background.
//Hanwuen’s jump with green background.
//My jump with purple background.
Carmen and Shenny favourite blue colour, but I tried to select different colour for each jump. Shenny got the Orange instead. (Carmen’s the one supposedly to get the orange, but I’ve mistaken them from the silhoutte. lol) Purple-ish blue and red is my favourite colour.
