There are a few things that i learned when i was jobless or shall i say when i went MIA (missing in action) for about 15 months. One of it was learning to use Adobe Photoshop. And how did this come about:? Well my sister was doing her Diploma in Information Technology (Programming) in Polytechnic Ungku Omar (PUO), and Adobe Photoshop was one of the software that she needed to master one of her study semester requirement. Unfortunately the lecturer assigned to teach about this software was not a master in it herself to begin with. First day of class she drops a bomb that students should learn Adobe Photoshop by playing and tweaking around with it on their own.
When i heard this, i was a bit shocked but i recovered quickly as it is something which is expected in our current education system especially in education institutions run by the government. I have a lot of displeasure when it comes to our current education system but i would not want to dwell into that topic in this post as i want to keep this post short. I'll hold on to this discussion about our education system for a different post. Back to Adobe Photoshop, my sister needed assistance with her work and assignments as she was not being guided by her lecturer. So i decided to help. But the only problem was my knowledge of this photo editing software was zero.
So i decided to seek the help of my most trusted "Guru", the internet. I explored the internet looking for tutorial websites which had both basic tutorials and also some complicated ones. As i learned more and more, it got really interesting and i started enjoying this new found hobby, exploring Adobe Photoshop. So besides helping my sister with her assignments, i also spent time editing my own pictures and this resulted in some works which i was quite proud of. Its not comparable to professional work, but for my personal judgement, i was quite satisfied.
These works, stored in my external hard-disk have been sleeping in my cupboard for quite some time. So i have decided to bring them out and post them in my other blog, "My Photoshop". Why suddenly? Well first reason being that i can view my work for time to time easily without the hassle of plugging and unplugging my hard-disk. Second reason, which is actually the main reason is that i want to restart my photo editing hobby as my latest work in Adobe Photoshop was completed more than 2 1/2 years ago. I hope that by posting my works in a blog it will motivate me to come up with new ones. The link for my new blog:

New works and pictures coming soon, i hope.
