First attempt on making YouTube thumbnail as a memes. This is to show the resemblance of what typically Malaysian YouTuber clickbait thumbnail looks like. This picture was taken on a iPhone 7+ and edited in iPhone 6+ with only Lightroom, PicsArt.

This thumbnail basically featured one of my friends in a shocked state that he might be encountering Loch Ness Monster while visiting Loch Ness, Scotland.

Much responses from insta replies as this legitly looks alike with typical malaysia YouTuber clickbait thumbnail, many searches for the channel and unfortunately there aren’t any😂

‪I heard that emotion can be conveyed through arts and I known certain number of photographers that are a bit emotional yet with tons of astonishing artwork‬

‪The dark side of creativity: Depression + anxiety x madness = genius?‬

Truly blessed to have the opportunity to shoot for charity event that involve multiple parties.

Bluebell Wood Hospice x Sheffield United FC x China Town

My first official event photoshooting in the UK. As I was just settling down for my summer studies in Sheffield yet I’m fortunate enough to be offered by @Poy Venly to be taking part in such event, I did experienced different in culture in comparison with Malaysian’s culture whilst being snap by photographer during an event. To be honest, I have little information regarding the event, so basically at first I’m kinda rusty and having no idea where and when to start and very afraid that I might screw up or piss someone off because of cultural differences. Luckily for me, most of them did not mind being taken candid pics yet some of them will approach me asking to be photographed.

Glad that @Ms Stephanie like it and special thanks to @Poy Venly for inviting me and trusting me with such project.

After receiving mix reviews in term of difficulty to hike Mount Kinabalu and my personal experience, I can now conclude that MK by far is the hardest Mountain I ever hike. Here are some tips for those who’ve been asking me about the trip: 1. Prep urself physically (normal cardio training won’t help, try hiking with 10kg bag) 2. Prep urself mentally 3. Proper equipment is essential 4. Medication and energy/ sodium supplement is essential too 5. Check the weather & temperature for the hike to prep what u will be needing 6. Don’t bring useless stuff like camera, u can use ur phone to take picture (jk, but do consider the extra weight u nid to carry up the mountain - camera and tripod) 7. Try Mount Tahan before u try this

This is Min, she’s from Korea. I met her on the way up the mountain. Despite the world viewed how dangerous it is for a female to travel alone, Min was able to embrace the fear of doing so and travel around the world embarking on her journey towards hiking all the exotic mountains that she never been before. She’s a kindhearted person, she offered me heating pads as she know my gears might not be enough to withstand the cold breeze up the mountain. I’m truly grateful for what she did for me. In a conversation, she let me realized that we human sometimes are grateful to a stranger that just helped us once and there were still people around us that might be helping us more often then we think and we always take them for granted and overshadowed them by the time they didn’t lend out their helping hands. Don’t take them for granted. This is Min, this is partly of her story that I knew, this is my perspective of her and these are the lessons I learnt from her.

1st Photo on Tumblr, as the picture stated, challenge the things that I am afraid to do, I ain’t really good in sharing my thought through a social medium. Although my English aren’t really that good, but this is about steping outside of my comfort zone, doing something i wanted to do but doesn’t have the gut to do it. I hope my post can motivate some of you out there. Believe in yourself, step up your game, challenge the things you are afraid of doing.This picture is taken during my first challenge of hiking a mountain which is around 450m tall. I crossed off hiking a hill from my bucketlist and plan to cross of the one starting a blog page

If you are interested in climbing/ hiking this mountain, the coordinate of the mountain is  3°14′1″N 101°44′55″E. and it is named Bukit Tabur, located in Selangor, Malaysia.

Hope my post can at least motivate some people out there, don’t worry, I will be posting more post soon enough, kinda still into figuring out how tumblr function.
