a simplicitacious life











{October 30, 2008}   cambodia through my eyes..

some of you may or may not know that i’m in love with photography..

and its true that everywhere u turn these days,
there’s a ‘photographer’ here or there..
its like how the TMC, Bangsar birds like to shit everywhere and will definitely kena your car whether u like it or not…

anyhow, i’m not so much bothered about that
and its not like the cameras are getting any cheaper..
ppl must be getting richer

whatever, i’ll let my photos speak for themselves..

mind you that this is the FIRST time i’m using a DSLR
and its not even mine..
(here i’d like to thank WILL CHUA for being SO SUPER KIND to me… i really really appreciate it)


this picture makes my heart stop everytime i see it..
its the love i reckon…
the love


there’s always beauty everywhere u look or go or in whatever you do
its the matter of whether u choose to stop long enough to appreciate the simplest things in life


and a smile to brighten up your day


all the roads that leads us there are winding..
so happy with so little..


the longing for a better life
one that does not include being on the lake for the better part of available daylight


the throngs of people having a quiet family picnic on the lake..
and i mean, literally ON the lake.. haha


the grass is always greener on the other side…


to work, to sift, to gather…


to wonder about a life never lived


he looks a little weird to me..
his body shape i mean..
but he’s got the look of a man who has gone through a tough life..
and he’s not that old either..
priviledged men his age still have baby skin compared to him


a means to an end
thats what happens to innocent war victims!


u get to rent these boats by the hour and they’ll take u upstream..
a very calming experience
one for reflecting and setting yourself straight
or to just be thankful and grateful for the simplest things


an elf-ish grin under the hot cambodian sun
(i use to look a little like him when i was younger… hahaha)


one of my absolute favorite picture..
he was being carried around by his mom while she bags for money


a son who’s future is forever lost honoring and loving his dad


abandoned the minute he was born,
she’s the only mother he has ever known,
never wonders far,
never trying anything new,
for fear to be abandoned, again.


two cheeky yet loving 4 year olds..
they are damn tiny for a 4 year old!


cheeky little kid..
:)


“damnit… why are u staring at me?!”


she was little,
she was sleepy,
she was scared


the lonely

okay thats all the pictures i’m gonna post now..
i’m going nuts staring at the screen the whole day!!

oh btw, i was ironing a shirt again today..
it was nice to me

:)
