This is the week of all year. To determined whether i’ll become a super senior next year as a final year photography student in RMIT University and it’s also a year for me to decide which path i want to go after my visa living in Australia expire.

Next year i’d decide i’ll be studying 1 language. What else? Japanese Language, Althou I understand a lil bit what they say on TV Variety Show or on Anime. But i want to learn how to converse like them. After graduate, harap2 i can go there for 1 or 2 month finding a bilingual photographer and work with them as an assistant before i go on my own as a freelance photojournalism. Hehe, well not only Japan lar.. My general target is East Asian country. Wait till the day comes then, lama lagi tu… lamanya skijap seja.

Last meeting with the lecturer very near to his place before the assessment day.

Coffeeshop in a resident area, kalau d KK ah suda bangkrupt lor.

That’s the only time for me to show my final work to him.. After that, we have to rely on ourself (doi macam saya never buat before bah) until the assessment day.

“Boss hows my picture?”

and on the other side,

waiting for their turn.

After the final meet ups with lecturer. Everyone head back to the city and do their own stuff, since i have nothing to do i go and help Daniel with his mounting at the art store where you can cut the cardboard for free. After all the mounting done..

Have lunch at one of Japanese Restaurant in Russell Street called Tenpansan. Specialize in Okonomiyaki and Japanese Traditional Food.

Typical restaurant with ‘artistic’ drawing on the wall.

And both of us ordered Japanese Pizza.. Okonomiyaki Osaka Style.

Okonomiyaki Osaka Style.

I wonder where can i find Hiroshima’s Okonomiyaki? KK ada Okonomiyaki ka?

wish me luck for my last assessment.

Fiesta Malaysia was held at Federation Square on the 31st August in conjunction with National Day.
Generally, Nothing much happen. More like introducing more into the ‘culture’ and also a place for M’sian Student and Expatriate wandering around and showing off their “DSLR”. Don’t worry, I didnt bring my DSLR there because i know there’s gonna be heaps of DSLR. Bah, besakan Malaysia.. DSLR atas, bawah, kiri and kanan.

I brought my RZ67 and SX-70 and shoot a few photo from it.
And again, Nothing much happen.. Paling senang mo tau macam mana jalan ceritanya.

Tgk gambarnya sejalar..

Photos from Polaroid SX-70 :

Sepak Takraw, 2 white guy join after this and they cracks me up because they juggle better than from the ‘where originally sepak takraw came from” if you know what i mean?

On the other side pula like more into traditional i used to call umban barang capat pungut back in Keningau when i was young. Ko umban itu guli/batu or whatever tinggi-tinggi then ko mesti capat-capat pungut itu remaining guli/batu or whatever on the floor. What they call ah?

Aik, tengok pula si Minah sama camera saya. I don’t think she’s looking at the camera thou. I think when i press the shutter her eyes straight away got freeze by the chemical of so called “Instant Polaroid 600film”.

The main stage, with false info for the east malaysian.

Welcome to Fiesta Malaysia in blah blah M’sia`s 51 years of Independence. Macam betul tapi inda betul bah kan. Mo tipu pun susah sebab urang putih ni cepat betul dorang percaya.

Tinggi-tinggi saya lumpat-lumpat

Ngam also lar kasi penat sikit because that time the weather sejuk babas too the max.

Photos from Mamiya Rz67 :
taken with Kodak Portra ISO400.

This time lelaki punya turn

Punya main serious dia main.

Like usual,

Checkin out on girls… Doi~~

Film separuh shoot separuh kena potong time develope,

Bollywood Dance..

Some Unknown Malaysian Singer singing RnB song with his lyrics sheet on the stage. Too detail pula i explain.

Umban barang capat pungut..

I think they just wanna chill out. Haha

And lastly, back in primary school very oh-so Famous

Lumpat Getah. I don’t know whats the proper name but i always cakap Lumpat Getah most of my friend understand what i mean.

What makes me dissapointed about the event is Instead of Promoting the Sarawak’s Iban, Melanau and Bidayuh Dance they write down as East Malaysian Dance on the screen. Oh Come on!! Just Introduce it in proper way bah. Cannot blame also lar because most of the Sabahan Native Generation got colonize by western californication and japanese culture suda. Most of them even don’t know how to dance Sumazau and also listen to the Native Speaker Music.

Well, that’s the future… KadazanDusun Language gonna extinct sooner or later wat is remain the name and also the tradition and costume.

Haishhhhh…….. I wish my father teach me my mother tongue language when i was young. The only words i know is Gunsirit. Because It’s happen to me all the time. Taik mo keluar suda ni.. Tu lah i know what the meaning is Gunsirit.

Last last minute digital video assignment : movement.

Today’s weather buruk. Yesterday everyone say Spring is coming but it’s getting colder day by day. I don’t want to wear sweater anymore!! Boring lar wear the same sweater everyday…..

I heard someone calling me from the window… Oh it’s Rainbow my long lost brother. *my nickname is Rambo, tulah Rainbow calling me.*

Another Photo from Dockland blend with 3 different exposure : *don’t want to post everything in 1 post, mo kasi rata2 my blog count.*

Telstra Dome.. on the other side.

Dockland. Melbourne’s Waterfront konon.

Tomorrow is gonna be tiring day for me because i’ll assist my classmate for her portraiture. Have to take train all the way to Frankston. The last train stop somewhere in…. Frankston. Never been there before, my dad told me i have a relatives there but i guess it’s too late to let her know i’ll be there for a while. Lagipun, never meet my relatives before..

Macam curious pula want to jumpa them.. haha Inda apa lar..
next time..

Kehidupanku di Melbourne semakin lama semakin bosan. No new stories, no new friends and still waiting for polaroid film to stock-up in the City. Why my mobile number cannot call 1800-line ah? Cilakak betul.

Sorethroat!!!!

Telstra Dome on the left, and Channel 7 Building on the right.

Finally, went out and spent some precious time alone in Docklands try to find nice location for my Digital Imaging HDR assignment.

Lots of so called artistic thingy you can see all around Melbourne city. Not allot lar but.. allot!

Check out Rachi Akira’s Website.. Awesome photography work she have!
