3 Years Old.

Hello. As of January 6 year 2009, this blog, Seeds of Life @ jedrantsagain.blogspot.com turns 3. That's quite a feat for someone who has the tendency to always do things half-assedly like trying to lose weight or trying to take up the guitar or try finishing Doom 3 but failed and ended up using cheat but still didn't finish the game and such.


3 years is quite a duration you know, if you have a kid, at 3 years old, he or she would have mastered sufficient vocabulary to deny you of absolute power/rights over him/her and you would have to get hold of him/her by chasing after him/her around the house to get things done your way. Fuh, what a scary thought.


So, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the wife who never denied me the rights to blog, the Siao Gang who never fails to provide me materials to blog, the friends, readers and anonymous individuals who gave interaction to this blog else I guess I am pretty much blogging to my self LOLS, and of course to myself who gave life to this blog HAHAHA so muka tebal tak tau malu one.


Anyway, I'm beginning to wonder how much longer will I be able to keep blogging, its not that I'm no longer interested in churning out entries, just that, it can be quite time consuming - a luxury that I do not possess.

Sometimes, I also wonder, what if one day in the future, Blogspot or ImageShack is not available anymore - what would happen to all the entries posted and photos edited - all the time and effort spent preparing them. Oh, the agony. Perhaps I should start doing a back-up for everything here in Seeds of Life, hhhmmm... But being the uninitiated person that I am, it shall remain only as a thought for now.

In contrary to the usual cakes or desserts or fireworks images to celebrate happy occasions, here's a picture of our staple food with a party hat made of leaf. Happy 3rd Birthday to my blog!

Some not so interesting facts for the year 2008:
Total Pageviews : 23,569
Total Visits : 17,802
Average pageviews/month : 1,964

Sad stories aside, here's to more days and months and years of blogging till the day that I can publish post no more. Must always look forward! Be positive! Cheers! Yam Seng! Kampai!

Post New Year.

The early stages when people were few and food was aplenty. Fortunately, I postponed my plan to purchase Ayamas and a bucket/barrel of KFC.

The middle stages where food was diminishing and the video of the wedding playing in my background, I think. Hik is the Siew Kai Yik King.

The final stages. Praying to the Siao Cake for a good future after the fireworks before cutting and munching away again. That bottle of Chivas survived the 2008-09 transition untouched.

KY & HL.

0. This is not an advertorial - the post is totally irrelevant nor in any relation to KY Jelly nor HL milk.


1. Went shooting for KY & HL punya wedding, morning session, not the actual photographer though, just fooling around.

2. Battery went from fully charged to totally flat before the ceremonies ended, EPIC FAIL.


3. Flash is God sent *hugs & kisses the Speedlite*.

4. 400D + Speedlite is actually quite heavy. Hand and arm will kebas, be prepared.


5. Four hundred plus (400+) is not a lot of pictures but might just enough to kill your battery. Even after heeding Eugene's advice to plan and conserve power.

6. Think like a ninja, act like a ninja, move like a ninja, be like a ninja.


7. Bounce wisely.

8. Wife says do not run to the car, she might just reverse and accidentally hit you. Even if the car is equipped with reverse sensors. Even if its raining. Even if you're wearing bright coloured attire. Even if you pass beside her on the way to the passenger seat. Even if you're huge. Even if other passengers in the car noticed you. Even if you're in her field of vision just a moment ago.


9. Wear clothings that are different in colour with the HengDais or JiMuis, just to be on the safe side.

10. Drink plenty of water, sweats will drip, flow or gush, maybe that's just me.


11. Getting a good angle is difficult when you're constantly getting out of an actual photographer and three actual videographer's way. Make that extremely difficult.

12. I have a few insurance policies.


13. Did I already mention about the tangan kebas?

14. Knowing the agenda or program flow, if any, would be helpful. You want to be at the right place, at the right time, at the right moment. Else, refer to #6.


15. Have fun!

Just one of the pictures, more to come, perhaps or perhaps not.

Short One.

Second day of 2009. Journey to work not smooth. An accident. Not sure what happened though. Did not slow down to look. Was on the fast lane. Honked the bugger in front who did. ******. Empty parking lot. Best.


New Year's Eve was fun. Except for the cleaning. Gathered at her ex-house. The usual bunch. Food a plenty. Fireworks. Musical chairs. Big butts don't always win. Lat-Lat Sushi without the Sushi. Took a while to understand.


Movie for New Year at 1U. Ip Man. Good Stuff. Been doing the Wing Chun stance. At Jacklyn. Annoys her very much. Lunch got discount. Thanks to friend of Junn. Had ice-cream. Then shopping. Lots of people. Very annoyed.


Heading to KY's later. Not the blogger. Buffet dinner. His big day tomorrow. Busy day for me too. Taking pictures in the morning. Visiting friend in the evening. Attending his dinner at night. Fuh.


The End. Thank you.
