ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, CHECKED!

I don't usually take up any crappy challenge just because it's became viral and so does the talk-of-the-town Ice Bucket Challenge. Basically, it's a campaign to raise awareness about the disease called Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Personally it's fun watching the peoples all over the world done it and never thought that it will invades Malaysia too. Seriously, never crossed in mind that I will be doing it and initially I have no intention to involved at all.

Until one of my best friend Lala nominated me and I noticed about it early morning this Tuesday. Speechless at first but all of sudden I got excited to take up the challenge coz why not since it's for a good purpose too.

The mechanism is so easy where when you got nominated, you have to do the challenge in 24 hours and don't forget to nominate four friends to do it next. But, be cautious on who you are nominating coz I don't think everyone willing to do it thus choose those who really have potential regardless they are your best friends.

note: Please head to my Facebook account to watch my video. :p

But, that's not the utmost point of doing it. To just having fun and complete the challenge means nothing if you don't donate. Trust me, at first I thought it will be the hardest part since the donation channel operated by the association itself from United States. Suprisingly, you can complete it less than 5 minutes.

All you have to do is go their website ALS Association, click the 'Donate' tab and fill the form. Walaaa. Super duper easy!

Then, after that you will get a notification in your email inbox straight away like this;

 

Most important, don't forget to check your account balance (I'm using my Debit Card).

All the best for the Ice Bucket Challenge and please DONATE.

 

Life Is an Art.

I would like to share about what I have been into lately. Well, not actually just lately but I've been always being an art avid lover since forever especially photography.

But it doesn't mean I want to be a photographer, it's just that I love the feeling when I take a look at beautiful pictures. Whether they were done by professionals or amateurs, I believe everyone has the way of thinking creative and innovative.

I beat almost all can't live without scrolling their Instagram account nowadays and I admit that it's kinda my kind of obsession now. Especially the feeling when peoples liked my photo, that is an absolute satisfaction for me!

So back to my current addiction, after long time searching for the best concept and direction on my Instagram gallery, I finally decided to choose minimal type of photos. I'm not really sure what is the definition of minimal in photography itself but now I think I get it.

My only doubt is that there are so many Instagram users out there use the same concept too but again, creativity in the eyes of different beholders are different *peace sign*. In fact, it's good to having them especially the famous ones as references.

From now on, I will definitely documenting my daily life, travel, etc in the style of art piece (I try!). 

Recently, one of my pictures also being featured on one account specializing in minimal photos as their #potd aka Photo of the Day. What a good starter isn't it?!

But now I becoming more hungry to shoot more and more great photos to cater my satisfaction. I even planned to sign up for a workshop held in Singapore by one of the Instafamous mobile photographer, Jelito de Leon from Manila but just found out the fees is too expensive! I think I just have to let go even tho I really wish I can enroll at the workshop.

Meanwhile, for those who interested and especially Singaporeans or Malaysians or anyone who can afford the workshop feel free to register. Visit:

For me, next time!

Here are some of my trial photos and the responses weren't that bad tho!

 This is the one being featured on @awesomeminimal. Woot woot!

More to come! Stay tuned!

Just....PRAY!

"I know that when I pray, something wonderful happens. Not just to the person or persons for whom I'm praying, but also something wonderful happens to me. I'm grateful that I'm heard." - Maya Angelou

If there is one word to describe the direction of my entire life up till this very moment, it will be 'pray'.

I know not everyone believe in praying nowadays especially those who are believe they themselves has power to everything in life.

They don't see the relevance or importance of praying and the worst case is someone don't bother at all to pray. Even at the very critical moment, such persons will rather do nothing.

I used too but not that worst coz that time I always doubt if the prayer does working or not. I just want to see it becomes real and happened. I will lose my temper if when it's not and blame God for not helping me.

But I learned that every things that we asked from God won't straight away come to us. It may take years, centuries and even possible your pray will get answered on the spot.

For example, recently my left side car light isn't working and I suddenly felt unease thinking it will costs me penny to fix. Then I prayed and later that day my car bumped hard on the road and the light functioned again.

But yeah again, it may just a coincidence or something, still there were wonderful things happened to me ever since I believe prayer is powerful. Even getting my wonderful job now, I don't think I will make it if I didn't pray hard for it.

Same goes to the getting-so-cruel world right this moment, this is the time the entire world should united in prayer. Wars, casualties, zero humanity et ecetera, can't be stop when its meant to happen and as a powerless person like me, all I can do is pray.
