the aftermath of the London bombing, many of the pictures used by journalists are not taken by themselves but by ordinary people, caught up in the situation and used their camera phones or digital camera.

With inexpensive cameras everywhere, including increasingly in cell phones, we’re seeing more searing images than ever of human drama. The chances of getting poignant amateur video, meanwhile, are improving radically.

: from wired news :

i think we should be wise in using this technology that is available to us. ya lah, we don’t have bombings here (palis-palis and i pray that there never will be). we can use it as a medium of reporting jugak.

if you read the papers, you would see complaints being published everyday. complaint againts government lah, tukang pungut sampah DBKK la, dentist lah, counter staff lah etc etc.

so why not, when you feel you are wronged (ngam ka ni?), just take out your cameraphone and snap.

you go to a govt service counter, they have 6 counters but 5 are closed. only 1 counter opened. you saw the staffs at the coffee shops still puffing their cigarettes and reading newspapers with their glass of nescafe halfway through. its 10am. *snap*.

you see a car jumping queue on the road - *snap*.

baru lah puas hati. what if we have a website that we can publish this picture anonymously? wahh powerrrrr. bagus sia buat ni website *devilish grin*.

talk about missing the target! my prediction totally out.

sudahlah sabah kalah that night 0-1 to mppj (which effectively forced sabah to play with less glamorous teams in the premier league next year), aidil pulak went out of AF last saturday instead of my hunch si yazer.

anyway, when aidil played the prank by pretending to suffer a heart attack after his name was called, host aznil wanted to say ‘is there a doctor in the house?’ but the astro technician called him to look at aidil before he managed to complete his sentence.

well it was dejavu all over again on sunday morning. this time it was in church at CMI (Church of Mary Immaculate). right after the entrance song, it was stopped abruptly halfway and the commentator asked “is there a doctor in the house?”.

woah! right then people know it was serious. everybody was looking around trying to know what happen. kesian itu priest sana depan bless the altar tapi semua orang tidak concerntrate suda.

finally a doctor was found. i saw an old man was carried from his seat to the room at the back. my dad said maybe kena stroke. kesian jugak. the mass proceeded as normal. i hope the guy got better.

aidil got everybody fooled in the hall. his mother shoot up from her seat and was thinking of going up on to the stage but then aidil started to get up - laughing lagi tu! nasib he didn’t cause any of his “old” family member sakit jantung juga!
