Here wishing you all good health, great success and abundant of joy in the year of the Water Dragon! Now, give me my angpow I must admit, wearing protective masks during paintball games is a nuisance. First of all, I feel suffocated breathing through the mask, which leads to the second why, it impairs my movement. Wearing the mask is not unlike wearing a motorcycle helmet, although it is not as heavy, it restricts my vision, my hearing and for sure I don’t feel as agile as without it. All being said, I was relieved that the marshal imposed masks-on rule after I saw what actually happened to my friend. He would have become blind, or half a panda (: if he wasn’t wearing that mask.
A few more shots before calling it a day.
The hall was silent when Kaiching performed the magical Sonata Pathétique by Beethoven. It felt sad, wistful yet calm and peaceful. It’s hard to explain but it raised a mix bag of feelings when it reached my soul. I took only a few frames that night. The clicking sound of the shutter was breaking the silence and I could sense people at the back staring According to my calculation using the suànpán (Chinese abacus), 3/7 of the previous posts were about festive greetings. Without further delay, I’ll now present to you the latest addition to our “tradition”. Gong Xi Fa Cai! And may you experience a joyful and auspicious rabbit year!
Another year, a different music rhyming Thru the Roof.

A powerful LED light source is positioned at the tool head of each robot. By logging into www.outrace.org with a mobile device or computer a global audience as well as visitors to Trafalgar Square are empowered to direct the path of the light held by each robotic tentacle, creating a letter trace and text message on this most public square.” When I first read about the news, I was ecstatic. I mean, how often would you get the chance to remotely control robots thousand of miles away? Alright, you aren’t actually controlling the robots per se, but you get them to do your bidding – writing text messages the light painting way. In short, it’s simply amazing. I began to think about the message that I want the world to see. The first idea that struck me is to simply declare my love to someone. Yes, I know, I could be very romantic. Creative art lasts but a fleeting moment – Seize it The message is multi facet. In life, opportunity, too slips away in a blink. Now, click on the link below to watch the short video clip. OUTRACE MESSAGE # 227: Creative art lasts but a fleeting moment – Seize it Occasionally we get a question asking about our blog, since there have not been many updates lately. Did we abandon the blog? No. When are we going to post some interesting stuffs? Real soon. Actually, we’ve both been around. Ghee Sin is still shuffling between Kuala Lumpur and Penang but I have moved to Kuala Lumpur recently. Indulging in our work, the blog has been overlooked, temporarily. Like what Arnold Schwarzenegger used to say – I’ll be back before coming back in much fanfare, we are too officially back in action now. Stay tuned for a few wedding sessions and some other exciting posts coming up on this blog. Meanwhile, here’s an image I took while visiting Taiping Lake Garden couple of weeks ago.  Reflection |
