Imagine my surprise when someone had randomly spotted this photo of my Flickr Account. This one Mr. Kevin Law, an admin for the "Scenery & Natural in Malaysia" group, had been interested in this photo.

Yes... I'm such a rookie. But, this rookie is smiling when she found out that her photo was picked to be added into the pool.

Let me give a brief intro on this photo... the wind was blowing pretty hard on the day we decided to have a tan. But that didn't stop the sun from shinning ever-so-brightly! As my friend was trying to get into self-potrait mode... I was trying to find a "postcard" picture for my collection. Scenic photos of the beautiful country I live in.

Lo behold, when I turned to my right, trying to avoid the wind into my eyes, I saw the "postcard" picture. A snap of it... and I reviewed. I was darn pleased.

The wind was blowing just the right amount among the coconut trees and the skies were the right shade of blue... lighting was perfect. To top things off.. the chairs were so scattered with a little hint of an abandon building behind the trees. Nature conquers the photo.

But to me.. what makes this photo so "postcard"... is the bit of orange coloured pelampung hanging on one of the trees. That added the touch.

Thankx for the comment Mr. Kevin. Will definitely try to capture more view-worthy shots in the future.

I'm loving my camera... I may not have those SLR cameras like the rest of the flickr people in here... but, equally a good quality one and just handy to be brought around.

Photo is an addiction.

Let me tell you a little bit about the fish - Salmon.

It's a very expensive fish to be served. Whether you prefer it raw or cooked, it's an expensive dish to have. But there's goodness in this acquire taste of Salmon.

Little did i know that Salmon is actually a kind-of stabilizer for autoimmune diseases - like SLE as what I am having. Somehow my fondness of having this fish is tremendously high after I was first diagnosed with SLE. I guess, He really wanted me to be still living in this world. If not, I wouldn't have the urge of gobbling down expensive tasting fish down my diet system, kan?

This Salmon was cooked with a little cream sauce... maybe a litle butter to it too. Don't get me wrong... I love salmon... but I'd rather have it sushi style.

But... yes, it was tasty. Yummy even. *winks*

Of all many photos he took of me, this was one of the recent ones. There's a story to this photo if I may indulge...

It was one of those times that I was feeling rather insecure of everything. I knew something was amiss when there's so many naps taken by myself. I get tired easily... something was just not right.

...before the doctors had decided that I am having a full blown SLE relapse, I decided to have a nice dinner with my Chenta Hati.

This was when the photo was taken. Two days before my doctor's appointment... when I already knew that nothing will ever be the same again. When battles begun once again...
