Haaa… it’s been already the week after the week after the week I was invited to go visit Mist Club for one event which is the Malaysian Dream Girls were meant to be there. To think though, I must thank a fellow blogger and friend for getting me in. Though to reach there, I need to be there at 6pm. But nevertheless, I think it was a good day to shoot.

What better day I had when I was there, I did not have to wait any longer and then you notice that the Malaysia Dream Girls 2009 participants are all dressed in lingerie and waiting to be snapped away. To think that, just look at all the cameras present there. Superb event hahaha… I think most guys enjoyed it.

Here’s another shot.

Ahemzz… if only there weren’t any other photographers at the background to cloud the shooting, how nice it could be. Hmmm.. alright, I was busy shooting to even bother whether there were photographers there at the background, but just so happens that I forgot to change my lens and was stuck with the kit lens which is the 18-55mm.

Lately, I have been thinking of the real purpose of taking photos. I have been going to events and taking random photos of other people which aren’t worth to display other than keeping it for memories sake. From there, the platform exists for people like us (bloggers) to express our thoughts in photos. Though is that really what I wanted?

Seemingly, something has chanced upon me which I find it most intriguing. Ever since I had my Nikon D40 I am deemed a  photo blogger, traveling and taking photos which are deemed fit to be shown to readers and occasional visitors to my blog. I suddenly chanced upon the fact for me to become a News Photographer seems prominent now with a new site for amateur photographers or photo bloggers.

What I am saying is that a site called WeSay, an online news portal is now giving opportunities to photo bloggers out there. Sometimes all you need is  to take photos of the surrounding and environment for submission. Photo Contest is also in the their mettle where photographers get to test their strengths and flaws in the contest to come out with their best respective photos.

I am amaze at the Far Out category.  Especially the macro shots. For a person of my capability, I wonder I could even enter. As as I thought, only a handful of my photos are really worth magazine material. People take 100 shots and get at least 1 or 2 shots that are usable. Not withstanding the amount of other photo shots that are meant to be posted on blogs as they are mostly group photos. One thing though, I think a specific category that I could actually take part is the Environment Category. Well, especially since I used to travel a lot of times during my life as a blogger. What about the photo on my header? Now that would be a good choice don’t you think so?

Though if you don’t win the prize, you can still be the news photographer for WeSay. Imagine your photos published on the web and you can say,

“Darn right that’s my photo piece you’re looking at!!!”

For those that don’t know about it, I’m also the founder for TechieDan.com which writes about my technical view on certain issues.

The day is near, the weekend is about to arrive, but never have that effect been discussed. Yeah, I am not talking about the day. Here’s some things to ponder about. Some stuffs some people should know about the general sex or gender of this world. Transgender though is another topic altogether, so don’t let me go there first, maybe next time.

Guys will mainly be guys and girls will usually be girls. (duh… that’s so factual) but let’s face it, let’s discuss it based on how one gender would react to certain situations and how the opposite gender will respond in another way. Here’s some obvious simulation.

When guys get into a competition, they compete where when there is one victor the loser backs out usually. It’s like when I win, I win, when I lose, I lose. The most also ask for a rematch. Well, the drive of competition is strong within guys.

Now girls in a competition, they don’t have that competitive feeling after a match. Though they will forever remember that opposition for beating them.

Some guys can kiss and make up, well not all can though

So put it in a more practical way, guys don’t usually bothered about petty stuffs and things which they can just put it behind as long they get the reward after it, let’s say a feast after that. While girls care for stuffs which guys think are just something normal that occurred amongst themselves. So before you start telling me I am wrong or something, observe this scenario.

A guy says he has no worries if another guy he knows for quite awhile suddenly talk bad about him, cause he can’t be bothered about it at all. Why bother stuffs that are like that? So very unmanly like. But as always girls (mostly) or since I am using guys might as well use ladies… they tend to remember that and start trying to bad mouth back or simply just can’t forget.

In short guys have tendency to forgive without accepting any apology while girls will have the feeling otherwise. Now tell me, I am sure lots of you people out there know why I implied this.

Many people may agree with me or disagree, but since I am a guy I just love feedbacks but any bad mouthing of my article, I just treat it like a gust of wind. It’s a guys attitude, so you want to say something bad, you can do it on the comments page, like what some people did on my previous post on the emo thingy. So whatever I write at least is something general. Oh, but it’s so gay when you see female bloggers writing some stuffs that they think is correct and pouring out their thoughts, but when you comment something about it, saying they’re not right and stuffs, they go all out to prove you’re wrong. I find it a tad bit childish. Is like they have one kind of reputation they need to protect.

Now here we go on to males are simple beings while female are complicated beings. Here is just a simple analogy of what guys do and think while girls do and think. So if you want to say your thoughts, why not write it down below. I might miss out a lot. Please be constructive when you post, or your comments will be ignored by me.

Here’s an excerpt from one of my MSN messages with random friends.

Notes from the Author

Writing article like this comes from inspiration while you’re thinking lots of stuff without thinking whether what you’re writing deserves to be drafted. Well, I don’t draft my writings and here you are able to see my writings firsthandedly.

Sometimes I wished I was a copywriter rather than a software developer, but compared to other copywriters out there, I am just a minnow in the midst of them.

The author writes on revelation he receives from his foresight of events and stuffs, should you love to hear more and would love me to write on certain articles for you, you may approach me by emailing me at article@danielctw.com and we could discuss some proposition over a cup of coffee or virtual drinks.

In memory of the Wild Wild Run 2009, where I actually completed the whole race and decided it’s the point of my life to start running because I wanted to. Who wouldn’t be glad that this event was even mentioned on papers. Of course you won’t get to see me on it.

So here’s quoting from The Star.

KENYAN Nicholas Merica continued to set an unbeatable pace in the Wild Wild Run hosted by the Pacemakers at the National Zoo in Ampang recently.

The 24-year-old newcomer to the local running scene completed five laps around the 1.85km circuit and clocked 31:48 to emerge as champion in the men’s 29 years and below section.

Strolling around the zoo: Merica setting the pace at the run.

Merica finished with more than a minute advantage ahead of Ghanian Richard Habeya (33:15) while local Jasni Khairil came in third (34:24)

Pacemakers captain Ronnie See said Merica was in good form and other competitors found it hard to keep up with him.

Merica began his debut season on a good note when he bagged the men’s open (16 years and above) 30km category at the fourth Great Eastern Pacesetters 30km Run before settling for the second spot in the men’s open section at the KL Tower International Forest Towerthon Challenge at Menara Kuala Lumpur.

Meanwhile, the fairer sex only completed four laps on the circuit with Ameba Chan Chui Miew stamping her mark as the best performer. She registered 36:36 to clinch the top spot in the women’s 34 years and below category.

The meet drew 130 runners in five categories — men’s 29 years and below, men’s 30 to 39 years, men’s 40 years and above, women’s 34 years and below and women’s 35 years and above.

When they began registration in February, it took them only four days to reach the maximum capacity of participants.

“It was an unique event because they had fun savouring a different experience. Running around the cool and lush surrounding in the presence of animals was certainly the highlight of the day,” said See, who set up the http://pm1.blogspot.com to cater to recreational runners in the Klang Valley.

Besides the 30 volunteers from the group, zoo employees also helped the organisers to direct the runners around the undulating terrain.

At the end of the event, five winners also went home with a hamper each from the lucky draws.

Saucony was the main sponsor of the run. Two other partners were Ccube Sports Hub and Milo.

This year, the group began their season and ushered the New Year with the third edition of the Pacemakers Network Run at the Lake Gardens in Kuala Lumpur.

And See also hinted they are considering to organise their third event of the season with a night run schedule at Putrajaya in August.

Tried Facebook as to how old I really am? I am 24! Woah~~~~

I found out that I am missing a small part of my youth. You know youth, when they go hang out with their pals and do crazy stuffs with their ever energetic energy is like they never run out of steam. One thing though, I finally had my first club experience in Jakarta and never did I thought I will try it again in Malaysia.

So now I think why not any place but Mist Club in Bangsar. Surprisingly I had a taste of where is Mist Club situated. Yes, Bangsar nevertheless and since it was opened recently, I am impressed with the location. I’ve got to experience the atmosphere there when the Malaysia Dream Girls were there. Have a look at the club then.

The entrance or rather the building itself is situated opposite NST building. I was shocked when I found out about it. Of course if you would like to know more about Mist Club you can actually visit the club’s website here and you will know about the latest events they have there.  I love the bar there, and it’ll be a good time to drown myself with RM1 of beer. I mean how many places, give RM1 beer drinks… woahhh

This is the grand entrance to Mist Club or rather the main gate, but so far what I know is that Mist Club entrance that I went was the one on the side. So I ain’t sure but I am sure they have very nice decorations on the outside. Now can I have my invites to the grand opening of Mist Club. I haven’t had enough of my party in this new club.

I am so gonna try try to get my hands on this invite. So can the people in Mist Club come have me have my glass of Carlsberg like I tried that day. I am a fan of Carlsberg.. well expected of a Liverpool fan.

When Liverpool trounce Manchester United 4 – 1 in Old Trafford, it really made my day.

Here’s the banner for this thingy.

Mist CLub

ps : Of course, the post about the Malaysia Dream Girls will be out in awhile.

So here’s a sneak peek.
