Segmen Buku Tahun Ini

2 comments

   Boring-boring hujung minggu tak tahu nak buat apa , selalunya gi lepak kat Book-off depan rumah.
Biasanya datang tengah hari balik senja, tanpa beli seketul buku.hahaha..


 Cuma hari ni (tipu, bukan hari ini, ntah bila-bila tak ingat), gigih bawak 12 naksah buku lama yang pakai masa blajar hari tuh , dengan harapan dapat di-redeem kan dengan sekurang-kurangnya sebuah buku yang baru


Haram.




Dari 12, cuma 2 je dia amik, alasannya, customer tak cari buku rujukan subjek kat kedai dia. Woi!!, ni ilmu jugak tau tak.


Takpelah, kembali dengan perangai sakai ,ambil satu, membaca berejam , membeli haram.










  Akhirnya jumpa satu buku yang berjaya menambat hati, dan duit dalam wallet aku.


    Ingat lagi, masa habis SPM dulu, best-best student( dan yang perasan cambest seperti aku) lebih cenderung nak sambung abroad , kat mana lagi kalau bukan english speaking country. Pun begitu,pilihan serpihan-serpihan yang tinggal, hanyalah Aussie, sebab engineering kat NewZea , hmmm...
UK, US ..babai 
  Aussie pulak nak Cambridge Level kurang-kurang 3-> pun babai.


  Tapi sebab nak rasa main baling-baling salji dengan awek, kemudian ada cincin bubuh dalam  macam  citer Winter Sonata itu jugak, aku gagahkan tik Jerman , dengan Jepun,
Alhamdullillah, yang dapat Jepun. Aku pun tatau sebab apa boleh tercakap Jepun masa interview. Mungkin ketika tuh, Morning Mosume tengah hit, kepala otak cuma pikir macam mana nak jumpa Takahashi Ai saja.


  Bagaimana pun boleh bercakap dengan boleh menulis itu 2 kemahiran yang memang berbeza, dan terasa perbezaannya bila aku tulis blog dalam english , susah hati.Susah hati kalau ada orang kompelin, orang mengata.Susah hati itu boleh kata macam tengok Evans kena red card tadi. 




 Review


  Buku yang dicetak kat Malaysia ini, menunjukkan kesilapan-kesilapan mudah yang korang biasa buat ketika dalam penulisan . Mengandungi  5 part , setiap part dipecah ikut penggunaan tatabahasa, dimana  setiap contoh yang disediakan, disertakan sekali pembetulan dengan rasionalnya sekali.


Sebagai contoh;

Shall ,orWill  ?

Don't   : I will go tomorrow if it's fine .
but say: I shall go tomorrow if it's fine


Don't :  She tells me you shall go tomorrow.
but say : She tells me you will go tomorrow.


Don't  : I have determined that I shall go.
but say : I have determined that I will go.


Don't : You will go out if you're good.
but say: You shall go  out if you're good.


Got it? . To form the simple future , use shall with the firts person and will with the second and third persons.Will in the first person denotes resolution or personal determination, and shall in the second and third persons denotes either a command or a promise.(page 89)



Lagi-lagi...

Sick ,or ill..?


 Don't : He' s been sick for over a year.
 but say: He's been ill for over a year.
#to be ill means to be in bad health, while to be sick mean vomit(loya-loya, muntah, mual, tak sedan badan, sengal). We sometimes use sick idiomatically to mean ill , like; The smell make me sick.(page 115).


Dan banyak lagi , yang cukup buatkan ko , cakap " oOOooo..camni rupanya..".



Kemudian dia sediakan latihan ringkas, yang sesuai lagi seronok  di-praktis semasa menonton mana-mana match Liverpool ataupun Negeri Sembilan..


Kat sini ia berharga 1355 yen, dan aku yakin harga pasti lagi murah kat di Malaysia. Jika serius nak belajar English dengan santai, this book is recommended!.




Sebelum berpisah ,cuba cek,antara 2 ayat ini yang mana satu yang betul;

1) Bosingwa and Drogba came in the room and sat down


2) Bosingwa and Drogba came into the room and sat down


dan kenapa?..

Beyond the Propaganda::Bringing the top down under.

4 comments

 "Under what, do you mean my table ?"


    I feel an immediate personal connection and engagement with the images when I look at the White House flickr feed by photographer Pete Souza.

And I don’t think it’s because of my politics nuance or whatever.



   The Whitehouse flickr feed is a new way of opening up images to the public, and making them less didactic. In a way, you get to be the editor. This is a new kind of experience. They’ve still been edited, but we get to see them out of the context of a magazine or newspaper. The context is simply the captions and the other images.



Every time I tap into the White House’s media machine, I am stunned by how imaginative they are. Not only do they use new technology effectively and creatively, they use it beautifully. The graphic design on their sites is, of course, gorgeous.



And the images they use are too. They are well lit, well managed, well color-balanced, and continue to surprise me with their nuance and humor. And they are also quiet. On the whole, they are not grandiose. They are not what I expect to see.



In these pictures, Obama strikes me as more dignified precisely because he seems more approachable. The fact that he is unafraid to let us see him being himself, feeling a wide array of emotions—from consternation to mischief to love—makes me respect him more. While some might argue that dignity is looking noble, strong, and emotionless, I feel, more and more, that dignity comes in part from looking human; appearing to be full of emotions, not void of them. His team knows this, and uses it. How is it that the Obama White House has rediscovered something so basic about pictures and people, that much of mainstream journalism seems to have forgotten?


Let me take a step back. Sure, some pictures are interesting purely because of the aura of presidential grace around them. If it were just my Sensei running with the dog, I’d find this photo sweet enaugh, but less thrilling. It would be a snapshot  This is a picture that has it’s power because it depicts the President of the United States.








But a lot of these images are interesting in and of themselves, no matter who is in them, because they are more open ended. They don’t tell me how to feel. They’re chronicling the life in the white house and the office of the President—their agenda is approachability and transparency. That is an agenda, and it serves a political purpose, but it also leads to more interesting pictures than other agendas. This style of picture-making plays in the space between the snapshot, the documentary image, the propagandist image, and a work of art.






When you have an agenda of one specific emotion—like pity, or sadness, or horror, or awe, or nostalgia—the pictures you make tend to be more closed. You’re not asking someone what they feel when presented with an image, you’re telling them what to feel. Granted, sometimes that may be appropriate for a certain project or picture. But in terms of standard journalistic practice, I think it’s out of sync with the ideal of informing people about an issue so that they can make up their own mind.
It seems to me that in journalistic photography in recent decades, there has been a simultaneous clinging to the idea of an “unmanipulated” picture as “fact,” and a movement toward encouraging sensationalist, dogmatic images in the name of social advocacy. To me, both these things are outrageously false. But more and more, that is the kind of photojournalism I see in the mainstream. These two from MSNBC don’t give me much room to feel or think.



In other cases, you see simplistic (boring?) images used in order to create a pithy interchange between the headline and the shot. What you gain in cleverness apparently outweighs what you’ve lost in thoughtfulness. Like with this shot on CNN.com:

 




Alright.Let se, what  probably we , Malaysian have on our mainstream media too.



  Seriously, if anybody asked me for photography as a profession, I would die to do something like what Peter Sauza had done,taking an unexpectable shot,inside-out of PM Department at Putrajaya, despite ,' tenggek 24/7 di tepi jalan, tembak gambar anak dara ntah sape sape  ntah(probably bini orang) pastu upload kat fb,..alahai..Nak layan,layan sorang-sorang sudeeyh..'

Anyway , great job Pete, looking forward for your next shot.








p/s: we live as we already naked, just wait for someone to see ,and if they did,  try your best to cover 'it'.

New excitement with Pocket Camera

17 comments

 Seem day become better and better,hence the the weather becoming more relaxing and importantly, the rainy gloomy has blown away, good to see sun again.
.......

.....
Actually here i got a good news to those who hate to bring alongside their weighty camera, though love to snap.  
  
   The 'Baby Camera' or pocket camera should the great solution and you can get this toy alike camera for 2000yen,or RM68, and bite me, there nothing on earth better for a camera except no more sound when photo had been shot .No more "ti ting, ka-shak" (my current hp) or "tenenet"(i-hon) .The thing just take a snap, hide and pretend nothing happen.













   Just don't expect much with 2.0 mega-pixel's quality, because the size will tell you what the uniqueness of this camera really is.




  --Some shot taken using this pocket camera



     Anyway,by holding this , doesn't mean I've completely thrown my current silver-sniper into garbage or recycle shop.It still remain the first.Nevertheless, I'm still looking forward for upgrading skill before could manage and suit it with up-coming D90 or latest ,don't bother to ask when,cause I even don't know either.But surely the day wont last longer anymore.

   Feel free to ask anything here, just leave your question, and hit 'コメントを投稿'(post comment) below.

Ramadhan di Jepun sangat mencabar,lebih2 lagi dlm kepanasan summer serta  pemandangan2 majazi ini ,keikhlasan dlm menunai rukun Islam ke-3 benar-benar teruji.So, daripada pandang benda yang bukan2, apa kata korg cuba kemampuan daya penglihatan korg utk melihat benda apakah yang tersembunyi disebalik gambar di bawah ini.

Jika korang dapat lihat ianya SEEKOR anjing, korang memang hebat!

tapi kalau tak nampak apa-apa?........




 Teknik untuk melihat gambar stereogram
Sebelum boleh melihat ,korang amat memerlukan:
1.Sepasang mata yang sihat
2.Kesabaran yang tinggi

Mula melihat.

 Jika masih lagi tidak nampak apa-apa, ulangi proses dari atas dan tambah sedikit masa terutamanya pada langkah pertama.Semoga berjaya!


Gambar-gambar lain untuk direnung-renungkan dan selamat beramal..ciao

 
  

 p/s:Buat mereka baru pertama kali,benda memang benar-benar menguji kesabaran, tapi once korang dah dapat tengok, korang mesti nak tengok lagi lagi dan lagi..Moga-moga dengan berkat kesabaran ,korang akan dikurniakan pahala berlipat-kali ganda dalam bulan yang mulia ini..amenn..
