Of lampu pelita and babies

I woke up late today since I don't actually have any classes but then I remembered that I have a group meeting for Malaysian Studies. Damn. My group is supposed to present our sketch next week and since I can't be there, I will be doing the paperworks instead of acting. I'm a boring person isn't it? Haha..

Anyway, last night I uploaded a bunch of photos on to Flickr. Tinkering through some of it I noticed a few that I think is the best and decided to post them to the Nikon D40 group pool, hoping for some comments and ideas from fellow D40ers. So today I logged into Flickr and saw 2 comments and I was like excited to see what it's about. Well, one guy commented my picture of KLCC as being 'really good' which quite amaze me since I was quite dissappointed at that picture. I suck at night shot.

Nevertheless, I was very happy that my best picture so far, the one on the left, is being invited to be featured in another Nikon D40 group. Yeeha! God, I really really am happy. What do you think of that picture? it's a lampu pelita Mak use as a lampshade for her garden. I snapped it because one, it's a mixture of both the old and new and the next one is because I love the details on the lamp not to mention when the picture developed, the depth of field is very beautiful. You can click at the picture to see my collection.

Well, everybody needs motivations once in a while right? Mine is compliment. I love it and it makes me want to move forward.. though I wonder what criticism will do. I'm not quite good at handling critism, honestly.

You should really care about your work, but don't treat it like your baby because when you do that, you can't accept criticism

Well I guess I really need to keep that in mind.
