Nampak macam gambar AI kan? Tapi, BUKAN!
Ia memang gambar sebenar stesen dan landasan² ECRL yang dijangka beroperasi pada 2027.

Under the Employment Act 1955, if an employee is absent without reasonable excuse for more than two consecutive working days, it can be treated as misconduct.
Ponteng 5 bulan ? hahahaha...
@EkonomiRakyatMY Kefir dia memang sedap, masa baru intro dulu ada masuk Petronas, lepas tu takde dah, dekat Giant ada sekali sekala , lepas tu hilang, produk dah ok, marketing macam kurang.
I get asked a lot about what film I use (or used), and so to answer that question I provided an index at the back of one of my books, “Under Vancouver”, which lists the various film types I used, back in the 70s and early 80s. On one hand I don’t think it matters, but on the other it’s an important part of the craft. In any case, for anyone interested, here are eight pictures and the different film types used, from that book.

I’m hosting a workshop this week (great group, 12 photographers from various corners of the world), and conversations invariably get into technical territory. And I’m reminded that years ago I used to carry around more equipment than I do now. A variety of prime lenses from very wide to quite long. So here are some examples of my 200mm lens, on Kodachrome and Ektachrome, for anyone who cares about this sort of thing!

It’s curious how I ended up photographing the Kowloon Walled City, along with co-author Ian Lambot. We ended up making the most thorough (and most frequently referenced) record of the place. Why didn’t any HK photographers concentrate their efforts on documenting the place? One reason is that every parent told their kids to stay clear of the place. The other, and maybe more important reason, is that it wasn’t considered a worthy subject. Had the Walled City lasted just a few years longer (it was demolished in 1993), I have no doubt that young HK photographers and filmmakers would have been all over the place. But it was erased just moments before HK woke up to itself. A generational change. The culture generation now values HK in a way the previous generations didn’t.
“City of Darkness Revisited” will be republished later this year. Stand by for updates on pre-ordering!

Nama itu warisan, bukan menunjukkan ketuanan tetapi menggaris sejarah.
Nampak “simple” sebab kita hanya tahu makan tapi kalau dari segi bahasa, jika nama kuih itu kita tukarkan dengan nama dari budaya lain, sejarah kuih itu hilang dan naratifnya bertukar.
When we visited KKB a few years back, I noticed how confident the town is about safety. The back doors of shophouses use very basic locks
Then I asked the majlis officer about the crime rate, turn out it is low and rare, which explains the level of security we see
PSA: beware of scammers from China!
Scammers from China are now in airports. These women often dress well to reduce a person’s guard.
They often prowl along the exit area of Kuala Lumpur and ask for money
They have some sob story of running out of money in Genting Casino and haven’t eat for a few days. Once they earn the victim’s trust, they promised to send money to the victim if they help them.
Is it common now in the US? Or have you encounter it in your country? Share your thoughts and experience.
What we knows is that the countries hit are those countries that recent go VISA free with China.
We will have a series of Chinese scammers and their modus operandi in our new articles soon!
