中华节日|冬至

"冬至，俗称“冬节”，在古代是很隆重的节日。在二十四节气中，冬至也最受重视。冬至过节源于汉代，盛于唐宋，相沿至今。 

       

        冬至起源于中国人的阴、阳观念。阴、阳象征生命的平衡与协调，中国人相信冬至来临之时，正是“阴”的黑暗力量与阴寒本性最强烈的时候，与此同时，亦是极为重要的关键时刻，只因“阳”的光明与温暖将会逐渐取缔“阴”的极寒本性。因此，冬至是一个协调及和谐的欢乐时刻。古人认为到了冬至，虽然还处在寒冷的季节，但春天已经不远了。这时外出的人都要回家过冬节，表示年终有所归宿。闽台民间认为每年冬至是全家人团聚的节日，因为这一天要祭拜祖先，如果外出不回家，就是不认祖宗的人。

                

        冬至的日期，每年都在阳历的十二月二十二日或二十三日；阴历的日期则不一定，但大抵不超过阴历的十一月。在《尚书》“尧典”中称冬至为“日短”，因为这一天太阳直射南回归线，所以北半球白天最短，黑夜最长。过了冬至后，日光照射北移，白天愈来愈长，黑夜愈来愈短。古人说：“冬至一阳生”，指的就是阴气到冬至时盛极而衰 。相反的，阳气则从此开始萌芽。

        
        冬至是北半球全年中白天最短、黑夜最长的一天，过了冬至，白天就会一天天变长。古人对冬至的说法是：阴极之至，阳气始生，日南至，日短之至，日影长之至，故曰“冬至”。冬至过后，各地气候都进入一个最寒冷的阶段，也就是人们常说的“进九”，我国民间有“冷在三九，热在三伏”的说法。

        
        现代天文科学测定，冬至日太阳直射南回归线，阳光对北半球最倾斜，北半球白天最短，黑夜最长，这天之后，太阳又逐渐北移。"

冬至到了也就是说,华人农历新年就快到了。北风开始向我们的脸腔打招呼说"hello!"了，天气开始冷了...相信大家都会在每天起身后感觉到冷冷的北风吹打在我们的脸孔。不知道为什么，开始没像当初期待农历新年来领那样的感觉了....看来我真的老了，不再是那些求学的小伙儿了...能开开心心的去逛街，买新年衣服等等。真的老了....老了.....

葉問 | Ip Man

昨晚和一班热爱武术的朋友去看了一部很好很精彩的电影。这部电影是属于动作和历史,它描述了一位把詠春拳发扬光大的师傅。它的剧情说....

"在一九三零年代，中国武术之都的佛山，武风顶盛，各门各派为广纳门徒，经常集体比斗以显实力。叶问(甄子丹饰)习得一身武艺但为人低调，故未有设馆授徒，只待在家中与友人闭门切磋、钻研武术。

　　以金山找(樊少皇饰)为首的北方武师，为了在佛山扬名立万，遂狠狠挫下各派馆主。金山找为搏得佛山市民的认同，决意挑战不问世事的叶问，且不惜一切逼叶问出手。叶问在妻子张永成(熊黛林饰)的鼓励下毅然出手，以熟练的咏春拳大胜金山找。经此一役，佛山掀起了炽盛的咏春热潮。

　　好景不常，中日战争爆发，佛山沦陷，叶家大宅被日军强占，叶问被迫带着妻儿移居废屋。叶问一家生活艰苦，但叶问仍积极面对，一改阔少的态度，到煤炭厂当苦力，自力更生。众中国人默默耕耘之际，一批日军却前来生事，陪伴着日军主任佐腾旁边的翻译官，竟是昔日的佛山巡警李钊(林家栋饰)。

　　日本将军三蒲(池内博之饰)是一名武痴，故以白米作奖赏，邀请中国人到打斗场与日军切磋，藉以观摩中国武术。叶问的好友武痴林(行宇饰)于打斗场内侮辱三蒲，被活生生击毙。叶问为寻找武痴林，到打斗场查看，甫一进场即见廖师傅被佐腾无理射杀。叶问遂把心中悲愤于打斗场上发泄出来，以一敌十，痛击日本人。三蒲对叶问的身手大为欣赏，并表示期待与叶问一战。

　　叶问的挚友周清泉(任达华饰)被沦为山贼的金山找勒索。周清泉为养活一众工人，未有弃厂撤离，令叶问明白到每人都有其使命，遂留在棉花厂教众工人以咏春自卫。金山找再次来袭，一众工友在叶问带领下齐起以咏春反抗，一众卑微的工人竟能以自己的拳头击退山贼，大感振奋。

　　三蒲带兵至棉花厂捉拿叶问，要求叶问向日军传授中国武术。叶问不甘作汉奸，且欲替中国人挽回尊严，遂公然挑战三蒲，要以双拳唤起中国人的团结心。三蒲自视甚高，为保名声毅然应战。佐腾为保三蒲胜出竟暗设埋伏，叶问未知已身陷危机，以咏春力战三蒲的空手道，二人在擂台上展开激烈生死决战。"

真的很好看,尤其是在打斗的时候....动作实在是太美了。还有甄子丹的手法真的让人欣赏....哇!相信很多人看了这些武打片都会对中国武术有点认识和知道一点点关于练武者须有的精神吧!别把武术变成暴力哦!

接下来让大家欣赏这部电影的片段吧....

再下来就是甄子丹的身材照片让你们女生欣赏咯,哈哈哈哈哈！

好有型的poster ^^

希望大家会喜欢这部电影啦!

Self Potrait

1st time doing a close up self potrait of myself. Just trying to bring eyes contact feelings into this potrait but it seems like not really work out, hahaha!

Anyway, comments me with this shot please!

p/s: Actually was thinking of add in some wording in this photo but suddenly I got no idea what should put for this photo mood... so just post up for some idea from anyone *ofcause a nice sentence of words ^^*

Just Realise

Hmm... It's a damn boring weekends, never felt so bored before. Sigh!

And I just realise that I really got not much of friends around me.... I knew lots of peoples but those that really close with me and hang along with me the most only got 4-6 persons only. I never knew that I only got so few of friends that really can hang along.... And all of them are my wushu pal.

This weekends, all of them already went to Ipoh for World Chin Woo Carnival and left only me alone in Melaka cause I cant get my leave to go together with them. Haihz! And only I just realise that..... I got few friends! All this while I tout I got lots of friends and can be hang around with when I'm alone but that's wrong and I'm just alone now.... Alone in my bedroom, staring on my monitor and blogging.

Other than blogging, I really got no idea what can I do.... Went shopping alone? movie alone? That's just not me if I go for those alone. I cant be alone, I cant stand the lonely feelings.... & feelings of being dumped. Those feelings are just too heavy for me to carry along.

And guess what... I'm all ALONE now!

Alone

-I was alone and stressed out. But that won't bring me down-

Was sitting alone infront of my pc and wondering bout lots of things that's happening to me in this years and I feel that actually I've learn alot from the past but this isn't the life that I wanted to and I'll continue to try and try to achieves something... something that I always wanted to & ofcause the 1st thing is that to start up my own little business *hopefully it'll work*

As everyone know that I'm interested in arts but don't get any chances to learn more bout designing & arts so I'll just continue my photographing & designing works slowly and get to know more peoples in this field to learn more technique from them. *wish that they'll teach me something and not being selfish =P*

And today I get scratched by my friend on my abdomen & get a mark on my abdomen aswell =.=" not painful but with the reddish mark... It's looks like hurting, hahaha!!!

Hmm... This weekends gonna be the most boring weekends I ever had cause all my gang *friends* already went to Ipoh for World Chin Woo Carnival & my cousin are taking part in the wushu competition. I cant make it to support him at there but I would like to wish him all the best and hopefully can get a good results in the competition!

Satay Celup

Other than the famous chicken rice ball in Melaka, there's something as famous as the chicken rice ball in Melaka. And we called that 'Satay Celup'.... It's actually a simple ingredient of fresh quality raw and semi-cooked seafood dip into special sauce. You can choose anything that you like to eat and dip it into the sauce in the middle of your table. For a clearer view of this famous food in Melaka, you may check out my shooting & design for the restaurant below.

The name of the restaurant is 'Zao Jiuu Satay Celup', a humble traditional unique restaurant which become popular by virtue of its taste, fine fresh raw and semi-cooked seafood, hygienic and distinctive service. And with the mixture of modern and traditional interior design, 'Zao Jiuu' brings an unique environment to an old city in Malaysia. So if anyone of you want to have a try it, you just need to call +062865484 to make reservation but remember the restaurant name 'Zao Jiuu Satay Celup' which is located at No.45-G, Jalan Ong Kim Wee, 75300 Melaka.

The Wedding

"A wedding is the ceremony in which two people are united in marriage. Wedding traditions and customs vary greatly between cultures, ethnic groups, religions, countries, and social classes. Most wedding ceremonies involve an exchange of wedding vows by the couple, presentation of a ring or rings, and a public proclamation of marriage by an authority figure or religious leader. Special wedding garments are often worn, and the ceremony is followed by a wedding reception. Music, poetry, prayer or readings from Scripture may also be incorporated in the ceremony."

And here I present you all my wedding shoot & design. Enjoy & comments are welcome!

Moments. Laughter. Love. Captured.

I've attended a wedding ceremony one weeks ago and it was my cousin BIG day. I didn't expect that I'll gonna be his wedding day ceremony photographer cause he never really confirm with me bout it earlier and I just know that I have to snap photos 1 day before the wedding day. I was like 'huh??!!! why so sudden and I don't really prepare for it...'

So I was like 'hegeh-hegeh' go for it the next morning.... starting was kinda boring cause everytime I'm the photographer and I cant get a chance to be infront of the camera >.<>

The Arts

I was viewing through all old designing that I've done when I 1st adapted myself into the photographing & design field and I almost forget that I actually had done quite some magazine cover design for my friends, haha!

And here are those design I've done for them for the past 3 yrs if I'm not mistaken *teehee*

1st it was my MAKAN magazine cover

Then it's the V Mag front cover...

And this is the Seventeen Magazine cover that I did for my friend at KL

This is my friend from Kuantan

And this is one of my favourite design for food magazine and I named it 'the delicious' ^^

Here is another favourite of mine for my friend photo shooting shoot

The design goes on to this FHM magazine cover featuring another of my friend, Candii

And lastly, this is an old friend of mine and this design was done when the movie 'the memois of a geisha' was shown in the cinema =P

Wow... I cant believe that I actually had done so much of design in the past few years... hahaha! *shock sendiri in the progress*
