19 going on 18

well its the 27th of december which basicly means that on paper im 20 years and 2 days old.

gone are the days when i can still be called a teenager,
gone are the days when the age group i belong in would be an explanation of crazy stupid things i do,
gone are the days when responsiblity is just another word in the dictionary,
and gone are the days when i can still think of what to put in this senseless rant which would cause it to become a super long senseless rant which looks ultimately cool becuase it makes my blog look like ive got loads to talk about.

but you know what i think, im still 18 dammit! 18!!

18 is the age when highschool was over (well for me, being born late in the year, i was still 17 then),
18 is the age when all i basicly did for 6 months after finishing highschool was work and climb,
18 is the age when i had a carefree time,
and i cant think of anything else anymore to put in here as im 20 and 3 days on paper.

but i mean think about it, when everyone was younger, i bet you always had this thing in the back of your mind saying "if only i was older". i mean why not be older? when you are older, you can do so much things that other younggens cant.

but when you do get older, reality kicks in. you start to realise that you arent as energetic as before. you are able to do everything that you arent able to do when you were younger but are probably sick of doing it as you have done it so many times that it has started to become a bore. this is when you finally start to think of "if only i was younger".

i mena think about it, when you were younger, even though you are not able to do certian things or go to certian places, you still try your best to do things that you arent supposed to, and when you accomplish it you would be like hell yeah that was fun.

gone are the days when i used to be kicked out of bars and clubs and what-ever-you-call-its becuase i looked young. gone are the days when being able to beat the system was a fun thing to do as teenage rebelion was a fun thing. but not anymore.

its kinda boring now.

but oh well. life goes on. meet new people, try new things, see new places.

go listen to 18 till i die by bryan adams.

out.

looks like this christmas is going to be another boring one.... off to johor again this year. nuff said...

Moonshine 3rd Aniversary

so something totally unrelated to the post title. looks like ive finished moving into my new place. there are boxes everywhere, my room still looks like a store room as there are boxes lying around. still waiting for new furniture to put my things in them. oh, and i just got the internet connection yesterday. so no more going up to the balcony to steal the wifi from the neighbours :D


anyway, back to the title. went for moonshine's 3rd aniversary in laundry almost a month ago. and as i do in most gigs i attend, i got some pictures. here are what i took. ill start with the mono tone pictures first.


this one if a guitarist from forty winks. i think they are a cool band. they have trumpets!!





this one is from tempered mental i think.





this is tempered mental.




and yet another one.





oh the concentration.





i have no idea what else to put as a caption.





he looks like he is enjoying it.



now on to the shots with colour!




this one is one of my favourites from the session. i like how only the hand is in focus and everything else is a blur. but then again, it could still be better.






i kinda like this one too. alittle editing with one of my lightroom presets to make the picture look better.





decided to try something new this time with my shots. that explains the headless musicians.





not sure if this silhouette worked.





another headless picture.





this ones not too bad too.




a violinist!



and lastly.



two artist at work. well thats if you classify photography as art.



well thats it for this set.

if you wanna look at a bigger picture, do click on the picture and you should be able to view a larger one. sometimes i hate it when i upload pictures from flickr onto blogger. like the second picture, everything becomes pixelated. gahhh!! oh well. till next time.

christmas is around the corner :D
