Allen Huang Photography Journal

I watched a movie on my parents' Taiwanese (please, not Chinese) channel - MacTV, sponsored by the government for fellow compatriots!

Anyway, It depicted children in junior school who all come from different backgrounds.
The main actor's parents were lunch/take away owners and were quite lean. including himself.
They were friendly and didn't really care about the kid's schoolwork - therefore he didn't excel and came last for every test. They called him "Small Fat"

Then there was the kid who came 1st in the grade, he comes from quite a wealthy family with his father doing business in Mainland China. He stays with his mom and she is addicted to Mahjong. She doesn't care much about him and only gives him money.

Then the last boy I'll mention, who is quite an entrepreneur, is wacky and loves adventure comes from a family where his mother has passed away. His father is still in a state of great depression and cannot find a job since the company liquidated. He is middle aged and companies do not like hiring people like him.

In the end, a tragic story but not so tragic ending, he resorts to stealing.
He steals his son's classmates' parents' purses, cellphones jewellery etc. It was a shame because throughout the whole movie, his son prayed and cried that his father told him: "No matter how poor one is, they should not take others' belongings". He had made his own money to buy health lunch at school.

In the end he confessed and broke down. This was a very emotional climax and he told everyone how he was struggling and wishing it would just end - attempting to suicide.
But one of the parents said that his electronics company is short of someone like him. He was the father of the to be supermodel Jolin Lin

It made me realize that we're living a good life. An excellent life. And we should treasure our DSLRs and other things too, because in life, there's nothing more important that happiness and success. One cannot fathom another's failures so let's pray and wish these guys well.

Hope that they make it through their difficult times.

So I've been away for a while from blogs or all sorts, I haven't even updated my DeviantART journal in ages.

I don't really find the time or feel unmotivated to blog, I think it's a GREAT concept, but my laziness seems like a better one.

Anyway, loads of things have changed since I previously blogged. Good things and Bad. Very bad things. haha.

Well on the bright side,
I got a new DSLR and a flash unit
and then another flash unit, a light stand, an umbrella, a few new lenses, vertical grip blah blah blah
Cool stuff to be seen here making use of fun stuff here



We went on our school trip to Sun City it was real fun! a GREAT experience! Check photos here


I was lucky to photograph and sit in a few Aston Martins
We also had a fashion show (photos won't be up until further notice)

but the worst news ever!
We went on sports tour to Pretoria and my beloved a200 broke. It refuses to switch on now... (will not go into the details of what happened) and this happened on the first day that we arrived, so I did not get ANY photos of sports =.=

*sigh*
I'm stuck using my a100 again, it's not a bad camera, Just slow. Slowww.

Anyway,
Check out my flickr or deviantart for any new stuff
