be a Dad when you still can...
was talking to a close fren lately and subject of parenting came up...
when i thought of the subject "be a dad when u still can"... it put a tear in my eye!
why? coz i realize... in a year or two, Sean won't want to be seen with this old man!!! it wont be cool... he will rather be with his teenage frens.
what can i do? that's life... when they are young, they'll stick to u like glue (and usually parents will hope they have extra space from kids). Then when they grow, the bond will dissapear and kids grow apart from parents and be with frens (could it be because parents always give the impression they want be alone?).
short term plan - spend as much quality time with sean as i can. be involve with his activities more..
long term plan - create a mutual liking for a hobby or involve him in my hobbies and groom him to be more attached to me.
hope it works... he's my only son, and i wouldn't want to "lose" him to the reality...

photography
I have always like to look at nice photographs... to the point where i buy Photography Magazines just to see the nice pictures in it. In the magazine, I never took the effort to find out about Aperture, Shutter Speed, 18-55mm, etc etc
Last Monday, my view on photography changed... I got myself a 2nd hand DSLR from a friend who's selling it on HIS birthday. Since then, I have got the Nikon D70, a Lowepro Slingbag, a SB800 flashlight and today... a Tamron 18-270mm lens (just arrived on our shores recently).
Till now, I have gone to take some picture during the recent Rally in Sepang last weekend. and sad to say "no hidden talent". And all i have to say about photography is.... IT'S EXPENSIVE!

bikes...
I had always loved motorcycles... been riding since when i was 15. The 1st bike tried was a Yamaha RXS. it came with a clutch and i accidently wheelied it the moment i let the clutch go (too..fast) :)
then there was a Suzuki cub, 80cc belonging to a my fellow librarian friend which i crashed into the mesh fencing and sprained my left wrist (not fully recovered till today). went for a joy ride and was too fast to negociate a turn, understeered and went for the fence.
other bike that I have tested at that time were RXZ, Honda Fame, Honda Raider, Yamaha Cubs and of course Dad's Kawasaki Honey, which i occasionally "borrowed" for joy rides around school compound.
immediately when i turned 16, i took 'L' license and subsequently the full B2 license. that allows me to ride anything below 250cc. then, i was ride legally on the road on my dad's & friend's bikes. Mom & Dad never really agreed to get me a bike for 2 reasons... financial & safety. it was only when Uncle Loh offered to sponsor me RM1500 to get a bike that my dream came alive.
Being in Penang, Honda is naturally the main choice. I have narrowed it to either a Raider or a Raider Super Sprint (if i remember correctly, RM3.3k vs RM3.8k) i had to dig into my savings plus a bit of sponsorship from Mom to finally own a Raider Super Sprint... PBH9098.. i think.
