note for the notice

Dear You,
It was not the best thing but if you've never left me I would never know what I'm capable of and who have I met today.

Thank you for leaving me.
I hope you've found what you're seeking for.

To the best,
Little Elephant

While going through the photos that I have left unprocessed due to fail time management, I realize few photos. I shot in low light and little bit dim. It was not a nice shot speaking of light and color, barely can see the subject of the photo.

The original photos



After higher the exposure and darken the vibrancy and saturation and make it a little warmer , I have the photo with the color that I kinda like heh. A little over expose, red-ish and dark but the subject is available in the frame.




It kinda make the subject skin lighter and softer in a way and dim the entire environment to the low and cozy mood. hehe I don't know what I'm talking about here... I just like these photos *mode*

Little Italy

Went to Little Italy at Bandar Puchong Jaya for dinner the other day. I starts to like the place more now. The food was good and the price is reasonable.

Let checked out the food, shall we?

Appetizer


Garlic Bread


Mushroom soup


Smoke Salmon Salad, the olive bites just wonderful and catchy with the creamy smoke salmon...

Main Course


Lamb shank, absolutely recommend this for those who love lamb. Super tender and tasty mouthful dish to fill your rumbling tummy :P



Familiar dish with seafood and cook in hot sauce, Risoto Seafood.


Lasagna, my friend said it's a stingy restaurant because they didn't give much cheese and meat, but I think this just fine dish. If it added more cheese and meat I don't think I can taste the cheesy sweet and sourly flavor of this lasagna.


Volcano's pizza, a fine chicken ham and mushroom pizza. Love the Hawaiian taste.


Salmon Bolognese, I'm not a big fan of cooked salmon but this consider alright to me :)


Beef Bacon Carbonara Spaghetti


Beef Bacon Carbonara Pasta

The carbonara dishes was just perfect, the creamy and cheesy and the flavor just at the right line.

I'm all *drooling* just by reading the name....
The food was good, cozy environment to hang out and relax, friendly service and fast.
Wouldn't mind to go there more often :)

Charity && Art Auction

Last month I went for the Charity and Art Auction events organized by the Kinara Metta Buddhist Society in contribution toward Cambodia children under the care taker of Color of Cambodia in Cambodia.

The events took place at Penang Village, Great Eastern mall, Kuala Lumpur. It started from 15th May to 13th June 2010. Well, I know I am late in updating but I serious have no time to process and go through the photos.





Speaking of which, while I was at the events many had confused me as a media and throw my bags on the floor because the table was for guest only. I have to ask them: How do you identify your guest? All the medias were wearing tags and I was not, can't a normal guess using SLR during the events? Why do they like to jump to the conclusion without asking anything? *double-sigh*

Despite the lack of proper organizing, I met a lot of beautiful and nice people. Plain kind-hearted and wonderful thoughts.

Brought myself and ah miaow to the events by Steven, my colleague, my friend and my inspiration. Steven is friendly, shoot beautiful photo and live to the max.


Steven


Steven, Miaow and myself

Meet the beauty whom flew all the way from Cambodia to perform for the events.



Apsara dancer





While our Apsara dancer was dancing, I noticed what this guest was doing. Turns out, he was the artist who draw the second painting for the auction heh.




Emcee from Taiwan and Malayisa


Miss Astro 2009

Did I mention that they volunteer for the events? Oh yes they were.



Made new friend, Dino and his beautiful daughter




The founder of the organizer, Ms. Honey (she drew the first painting for auction too)


Paintings for auction which each of them cost thousands O.o||

After all, though it might not be a perfect events but it was fine. Would like to go to such events more often....only if I could know the entrance fees earlier *tearing*

look what happen to my poor cactus :(










stupid mushroom fungi >_<
Anyone had seen this before?
How do you get rid of them?
I had it cleaned up and changed the soil and all... You should have seen the soil. It went dry and had the white stain of fungi around inside the port. What actually cause this? All the plants I left at the balcony with more than enough sun light, oxygen and water.
Seriously hope it will be gone and won't disturb my plants.

I'm doing my parts, are you?

Do you regularly complain about your life? Your job? Your school? Not enough time to play? Not enough gadgets to play? Not up-to-date to the today fashion?

You shouldn't.

Reports as at 2009, 2.5 billion people still lack access to improved sanitation facilities. 1 billion children are deprived of one or more services essential to survival and development. 101 million children are not attending or not able to attend primary schools. 150 million children 5–14 years old are engaged in child labour. And many more to come.




We should be grateful for what we have and what we are given. Should be more careful, appreciate and thankful for today that we are still breathing with proper clothing, vehicle to drive, job to keep us survive, family to share joy and tears with.
Because some people, at the same or different time zone, have nothing to be thankful for beside a slow death breath that one night they would wish not to be awake in the next morning.


Speaking of which, about two months ago I had become A friend of Unicef by pledging monthly donation to Unicef based in Malaysia to help children education and living and etc.
I always want to be part of charity or any supports to any organizations to help out the weak and the poor regardless any nations.

Without hesitation when the volunteer of Unicef approached if I have five minutes for him to explain how this work, I sat down and ready to be part of the committee.

And yesterday, I have done the same for WWF and yes I pledge monthly donation to WWF Malaysia to help out and no I do not have too much money and did not know what to do with it. This is what I think the least I could do to help.

Understanding that being part of the committee it would be wonderful if I could be there and spending time as well as help out the campaigns but selfish me have no time for this. So I do what I can. I donate what I can. I help what I can.
Even though I have no time to actually volunteer and give my sincere support by going through what the others have been through but this what I could do for the moment.

I hope you, my wonderful friends, will join me in whatever way you could to help out the poor and others that facing difficult life and living (please log in to Unicef and/or WWF for details on how you could do to help).

You can also do your part at your own home (the other least you could do).
Appreciate your life, every little things you have and surround you.
Off the light, computers and other electronics if you don't need it.
Off the water if you don't use it (no, you will only need the water after you're done brush your teeth).
Use toilet/facial tissue papers wisely (don't laugh~ because I know some of you actually pull as much as you can for toilet or facial tissue papers to wipe every little things).
Off your vehicle's engine if you don't drive.
Well, if I have miss out anything.. please feel free to update me *smiles*
