What the heck is Photography? The big words I have taken from Wiki is this, “The word photography is based on the Greek ??? (photos) “light” and ????? (graphé) “representation by means of lines” or “drawing”, together meaning “drawing with light”".

For me simply, take a decent camera, make sure it has the battery charged, look into the viewfinder, choose your view, when you like it, click the shutter button. Done. You can review it afterward. If you do not like it. You can either take the same view shot but from different angle or different setup. Done.

That is more to it actually but I am not sitting for an examination so, there you go, the simple term for me. Oh ya, I am into this deep already. I mean in term of money spent on the hardware, camera and lenses. I even have the expensive tripod just for the heck of it.

Am I good in this photography thing? No. Am I excited, oh yes, damn I am excited knowing the future how many shots I am going to take. I love taking pictures of mostly everything. For me, better and best memory need to be in pictures and that for me is what photography is all about. Talking about it just will not cut it. You need picture to tell the whole story.

So, to get the picture of what I am talking about, wait till the next two or three posting after this. I am tired now. I am after all working alone in the office, so, yeah.. need a break for now

Yeah, I hate my camera now. It is one of the best compact camera out there and it gives one of the best picture, comparable with the higher priced camera … BUT… sometimes, when the time comes to take the shot, I ran out of battery or worse card full!!!

Lucky sometimes, I managed to take one nice and memorable shot before it does. Hehe.

Believe it or not, this is a retyped post made at around 3-4pm just now but somehow lost in the cyber space. I have to put back with the same title aka permalink to make everything work as it is. I cannot even retrieved a single word though Google cache the link but all lead to my 404 page.

OK never mind. To you probably “What Papa? This is your first posting since the sorry busy bah post” . Anyway, I was saying actually about when you are in a hurry, and you do not have anything to share, you just might as well talk about your food during lunch time as Kay suggested before. Some also advised me to talk about the office and the favorite of course to talk about my children. So, OK. I will tell each of them here. I will be here till 8pm anyway. So might as well story-telling dulu.

Nope. Not a Ghost Story. Ghost story is here at my Flying Pens Office Story. Read all the way down to the comments and you might find some scary story there.

Anyway, this is about the security camera installed on our office building. I personally call them the Private Intervention Camera. Just recently our Big Boss decided to install cameras all over the office premise. Yep, on every floor, stairs and parking lot. The gen set room is not spared at all. In my our computer room alone, we have three cameras. Behind, in front and on my left side. Yes just behind me. Imagine that.

I could not take picture of the cameras inside our room because it will definitely be seen but I managed to take one shot outside our corridor as the above. Our room is at the far end and on the right side is the toilet door. So Boss can actually can see us and can track how long we out of the room or probably how long we lepak in the toilet. To the smokers, ‘habis cerita’ because our boss hates those who smoking. Hahaha. Not only there are many cameras around the office premise, there is one camera that really bothers everyone. The camera that facing the kitchen door and the door never close one. Aiiyoooohh.

We just found out that all the cameras do recording up to 40 days. Interestingly, as one of the days the technician around to install the camera at our corridor, I noticed all the cameras inter-connected with fiber optic cables right up to the recorder behind his Personal Assistant (PA) chair hidden with keyless door. So cool. To add to that, he even uses, are you ready for this? He uses Celcom 3G to view us all here in the office while he relaxing at home on his leather sofa. Wah la weiiiiiiiiiiiii. Welll, he is after all a Datuk. Money is a no problem. Cilaka

No wonder lah all the staffs downstairs’, the operation, accounts and admin all seems to be working harder than usual even though the Big Boss is not around. Usually they like to lepak in the kitchen, go out late like 2-3 hours lunch. Now habis – all monitored.

Even for me right now, he is actually like behind me from the dome camera. One thing that relieves me is that all the cameras no zooming capability. Nasibbbbbbbbbb. If not sure he can read what I’m typing here and probably you can really see me by this weekend, A RETIRED STAFF!
