Not much description just more photo talking ;

Warning : Photos > words.

As an (still newbie) university student, I took part in numerous of (big and small) events held other than being full time nerd student (with a life, no worries. lol)
Most of the time, I volunteered myself to be the helper or the photographer of the events via the clubs and societies that I join.

The first and biggest (so far) event I've involved in was the IMU Cup closing ceremony.

Here are 'some' of the photos. Enjoy... scrolling. Haha :P


IMU Cheerleading Competition
2nd November 2013

Thanks a lot to Luke for his camera, photo editing and also the great opportunity to be part of the photography team. :))
-blessed-

Halloween Night.
9th Nov 2013

T'was my first time snapping photos or an event at a low light condition. I wasn't used to it at first, as it was my second time using a DSLR, after such a long long time of never touching it. Hahaha, but I got adapted to it prety well after adjusting the settings, snapping away and at the same time inserting some 'creativity' in my shots. Had lots of fun indeed! :))

Thanks to Ji's D3100 and photo editing :)


Diwali Night.
22nd Nov 2013

Sort of took the risk to attend and be the 'minor' photographer for this event, heh. Exam was around the corner, that's why I mentioned the 'risk'. Hahaha, anyway, I never regret of going at all. I enjoyed myself, very well-entertained by the dances, sketches, dramas and music. Totally love it! Kudos to all the committee members for making it so successful! :)


International Cultural//Malay Cultural/Diwali Week

Christmas Lunch
29th November 2013

Organized by IMU Christian Fellowship, AMSA, Helen Keller, and Nurturing Club.
This is another successful and meaningful event held in uni. Children from Taman Megah Handicapped & Disabled Children home and Community Centre for The Deaf are invited to join for lunch in IMU.
The lunch began at 1pm and followed by many performances.

It was a joyful, blessed moment, looking at all the children enjoying themselves throughout the event. :))

Up till here, thanks Ji for the camera and photos editting. :)

Tiratana IMU Cares project
30th Nov 2013 (morning)

This yearly community project is held at Desa Petaling. A number of nursing students, nutrition and dietetics students as well as dentistry students are sent to the children homes or hair lice treatment and dental check up.
I was there for the hair lice treatment and interaction with the kids.
Overall, it was a good experience to me, as I get to know more about the treatment and better ways of communication which are all very helpful to my future profession.

My Father's Old Folks Home 
30th Nov 2013 (evening)

(Photos taken using a lecturer's camera, edited by me.)

Was one of the volunteer-photographers for this event. Having the task of photographing the elderly people was challenging to me because we do not randomly take their photos (candid shots) like how we used to take in events that I've joined, as mentioned above. In this case, we must ask for consent and communicate with them, otherwise, it would be difficult. Communication was never a problem for me, at least that's what I thought but in this event, it had proved me wrong.

I found it hard to speak to them especially when they didn't get what I was trying to explain, or worse still, they ignored what I've said and pretended to hear nothing. I didn't really mind about their negative responses, instead I felt clueless and my mind went blank as I have no idea on how to continue the conversation and to ease the awkward situation. I guess, we need to be very understanding and patient in terms of speaking and listening. It's the best if we have the abilities to speak another language/more than a language so that they could at least figure out what we are trying to convey.
Most of the old folks there are friendly and nice. They were actually glad to see us there, to have a dinner 'party' with them. :) During the 'party', they were overwhelmed by the students' performances. Basically, they were clapping and swaying all the way as the classical songs played.

I would say, this is another great event which exposed me (my first time) to the community and allow me to learn a lot especially in terms of verbal and non-verbal communication.
Thank you for all these events and opportunities. I would love to join more and never want to stop doing this.
