The Journey

Meet Meow Meow aka Mafia. He is a fat, naughty cat with soft white fur, though he is really adorable at most times. He has an owner but he tends to visit my house for food and attention. So we decided to place a bed outside for him to rest. Eversince then he comes over as usual to eat and rest. That's when I captured this picture. He seems to be in such a deep sleep and relaxed, enjoying his little nap time.

This photo was taken by me last night , after the national day celebrations. It's one of those moments where I did not expect that I would find such pretty views in Singapore, whenever I saw pictures of night skies on the net. I have yet to explore the places in Singapore during the night.. You'll never know what you'll find.

I am just going to reflect on my thoughts and what I have learnt in my photography workshop.
Before entering the class, I was expecting to learn many skillful ways to capture an image that will make the whole outcome look impressive. I also thought I would learn more about photoshop edits.

During the lesson, I got to learn that there's two sides to photography. One is the high key images (HK) , the other will be low key images (LK). If your photo has more than 70% of white in it, it's a HK image. If your photo has more than 70% of black in it, it's a LK image. I also learnt about the photo studio sets up and safety measures to prevent injuries. 

I am definitely glad I booked for this workshop as I have learnt some things that I could apply in later stages of my life. Adding on, the image attached to this post was taken by me, during the hands on session. It's an HK image and it was one of those good shots.

During this group activity, I realised that both my group members and I already had a few ideas in mind beforehand.. We were able to say out 16 different ways and began thinking for the rest. These ideas, in my opinion, must have been recalled from past experience from one's life or an idea that has been discussed from the past events.

I feel like it is more comfortable for me to think by images as I could imagine the way it will look like and how it might roughly turn out. As for words, it branches out to many other but not all of them could be appiled to achieve a certain result.

I definitely agree that brainstorming is effective. With group brainstorming, its even better as there are more ideas that you or the others might have never thought of , you know?. You will be able to immediately reflect upon these ideas as you have already mind-mapped it. I think that mind-mapping is the best way to display your ideas and creative thoughts. Though, one must remember not to get out of point from the given topic.

Honestly, nothing can feel better compared to when a cat starts nuzzling it's head against your hand and legs or feet. At least for me it is, and in that moment, it feels like I'm destined to meet and to be with the cat but, no, I cannot afford to keep cats for now. But in the future I'll adopt a bengal kitten and I'll give all my love to it.

Just a throwback to the first time I visited Batu Caves, Malaysia, in 2013, for prayers with my relatives. What a beautiful place I must say... I had a great time and learnt many new things. I did visit batu caves in 2014 aswell. Unfortunately, I wasnt able to complete my vow to the god. Therefore, I am hoping that I will be able to visit Batu Caves again as soon as possible so that I can finally fulfill my prayers. That way I will be at peace too. Once the sun sets , the view from the temple at the top is really beautiful.

This is buttercup, she is my neighbour's cat. Honestly, she has one of the most amazing eyes compared to any other cat that Ive ever seen. She loves attention from us humans and she is really noisy too, but I love her. I also envy the life of a cat, it's a lazy and carefree kind of thing you know. Though, sometimes, it can be traumatising and not so easy to survive kind of thing too, for them, as not all human beings and animals are kind enough to treat them well.
