Kadang kala kita berbuat baik dengan orang nih, selalunya susah nak dapat balas yang sama. Lagi² kalau mereka dalam kesusahan atau dalam keperluan, mereka ingat kita nih Mustafa Centre ker semua ada, semua boleh. Tapi kalau kita nyer turn pulak yang minta tolong, siang² dah tutup kedai. Hati nih kadang tak sampai hati cuba mengalah diri, tapi cukup lah dah beberapa kali batang hidung nih kena lenyek. Masa untuk ubah iaitu buat hal sendiri. Ada banyak benda lain lagi yang kita boleh berbuat baik tapi untuk mereka yang suka ambil kesempatan, suka pentingkan diri sendiri, suka perhatian dari orang memang tiada ruginya untuk kita jauhkan diri kita dari mereka.
Kalau kita nak hukum mereka dengan balas yang sama pun takder bezanya. Buat apa jadi macam dorang? Biarlah mereka belajar dari kesilapan mereka sendiri. Kata-kata nasihat hanya buku cerita bagi mereka, jadi biarlah mereka rasa nasibnya nanti.

19 July – ICL
Jul 25th
The important stuffs for my 1 week MC.
To tell you the truth, I’m very much nervous on the ICL thingy than the PI one. It took less than 30 minutes to do both eyes and I thank god everything went smoothly, Alhamdulillah!!! Yeah, now I can be Batman! Nah… vampire sounds better, Hahaha!
The procedure is very straight forward. You need to take couple of pills an hour earlier. Then they will abuse your eyes till you can’t feel eyes up to your brows. A very nice nurse will escort your way to the operation room and you will see 1 blue and 2 white masked people waiting for you. This is the best part! The doctor will paste a special open eye patch to stick both upper and lower eyelids to prevent blinking. Then he will inject the gel base lens behind your iris. Touching your pupils and adjusting the gel using some tool to make the gel stable and clear vision after the operation. Yes, you able to see all that stuffs for 30 minutes. You kidding me? It was the most scariest thing I ever seen! >_<”
Again, you guys will ask me this golden globe question. You can’t feel anything except during the adjusting part where you will feel slight pain for few seconds. Other than that, after the surgery your eyes will be swollen depends on how sensitive your eye nerve is. Slight pain around the upper rim. Vision will be dimmed during night time for couple of days. And few regulations to keeps your eyes safe for the meantime as well. Mine took about 2 to 3 days to recover fully.
My ICL took place at Eagle Eye Centre (at Mt. Alvernia) by Dr Julian Theng.
14 July – First PI Appointment
Jul 18th
Went for my PI Laser Procedure on Thursday before my official ICL operation on 19th. My pupil will be required to be constricted prior to the procedure. The Laser Procedure will take about 15 to 20mins and my vision will be dimmed and blurred for 4 to 6 hours due to the eye drop effects. I will then be given eye-drops to be instilled for 3 days after the Laser Procedure. I will also given another bottle of eye drops antibiotics (Vigamox) to be instill one day before operation.
My very first time experienced and all I can say is, you need to be very brave when doing this important procedure when comes to ICL, as you will be sitting while looking at the machine and a little pressure feeling when the laser punching 2 very small holes onto your eyes. I know people gonna ask me this golden question, to me the pain is about 3 to 5 seconds on each eye. The rest is just a slight stinging. Alhamdulillah, the procedure went well! Will update after my ICL surgery soon. =)

They aren’t just like that because they want to – they’re shaped by the people they meet, the experiences they endure and the moments that make them who they are. So remember not to be too quick to judge and instead understand the situation.”

I received few private messages from new friends on Facebook asking about my photos. What model I used? Lens type? Any additional stuffs that I use to make the photos much more clearer? Firstly, thank you guys for the comments! I really appreciate them! =D
My photos are just basic and simple, nothing special really. Cameras that I used Lumix FP3 compact camera and an old Nikon D40 DSLR. I still use the kit lens and other couple of lens that I still like today as well. The ones I have they all work great for me even though I wasn’t recommended by anyone. The kit lens may look useless but they are not guys! Try to use them more, if not keep them. You’ll never know when your most favorite lens is having a bad function day. And is good for practicing too. For the extra boost to make the photos more nicer either I use the filter (Intensifier or Portrait) or Photoshop, Picnik.com, Picasa. I love editing! It makes the photos looked more yummy!
I understand that some DSLR users aren’t quite satisfied with their photos. My sincere advise is to learn on how your gadget works. Mind on focus, a little patience, full motivation, creativity and love for all beauty. When I first time use my D40 I use it like my normal compact camera and it turned out to be very blurry. Every model has different kind of shutter release button and functions. Once you able to tackle it you able to know when to click, when to stay in the same position for few seconds and when to move. Everybody wants fantastic results in every shots they take but sadly a camera is just a machine. They can’t do much without the user doing something about it. Slowly you’ll get there.
I always keep my finger focusing and snapping the same subject many, many times. Out of 10 usually 2 or 3 made it to the ‘not bad’ list. Imagine if you only snap a couple of it and none of them is likeable to keep. You regret and wish you could have taken more. >That’s right! Go ahead, snap more! Feel good on your hard work. Never highly expect good results and never delete them from your camera too. Upload and see each one of them.
Always keep your eyes on the subject. Focus on what you really want to see in the picture. The face, the eyes, the flower, the petals… anything! They must fit in the picture. The more you focus on it, the more creative you’ll be. And when you’re being creative, you’re being original.
Last but not least, try to make a little effort in editing the photos if possible. Color balance, adjusting skin tones, contrast, air-brush, darkening and cropping. You need a software with some knowledge to do the magic. >Just like cooking. Ingredients and simple basic skills are just the stuffs you need to cook. But your tongue is the key that defines how it should taste like. =)
We tend to make few mistakes and lack of knowledge. But that doesn’t mean we should just chuck the camera one corner, give-up and forget the whole thing about it. My previous post regarding my experience have lead me so many ways to love and hate photography. And my heart choose to love. You don’t have to do exactly the same. We don’t have to like what others like. We should do what we love to do. An interest at heart.
Photography is simple. If you’re not being serious about it then just have fun with it! =D
Small update!
Jun 3rd
My sincere apologies for not updating this blog that much. So many things planned up lately like movies (date me please!), weddings (3 this month), concerts (Maher Zain) and my ICL surgery which is confirmed on early July. If you’re wondering why ICL and not just the normal Eye Lasik thingy well actually I was hoping for lasik myself and get it done on my first appointment last month but after the whole eye scanning it seems my right eye got this Cornea Abrasion and not to mention my astig is quite high as well. The only choice I have is the ICL surgery. The lens need to be ordered. Charming doctor has a busy schedule. I too have a busy schedule so that’s the reason for the delay. >_<”
I wish you guys a great day ahead… everyday! Do put on a sweet smile whenever and wherever you are! =D
