Of fireworks and nature.

Had a wonderful learning experience in photography yesterday and today. Went to putrajaya for MIFC. It was my first time shooting fireworks (duh!) so I'd say the results turned out ok la only. Howevere, it was a fun experience shooting fireworks. Would love to go there again and repair my mistakes. hehe. Show one photo only la ok? hehe


The plain black sky will be filled with some lights in some post later.

Then, reached home at around 1am after makan makan and slept at approx 3am after bathing and uploading photos into the computer. Then.... woke up at 5 and gathered with Alphanatics at mid valley and off we went to Sungai Congkak. Below was the 3 noob shot I submitted. I feel I still have a lot to learn and shoot for improvement. hmm.. so yeah. hehe


The dragon beard category shot.


I saw this big ants moving around then I just shoot it lor.


It wasn't meant to be like that at first. Did not even notice the heart shape there haha. But the instructor rotated it then mai got a not so perfect heart shape there lu. hehe

There were 2 winners and they walked away with a camera pouch each. The prize in the previous outing to Malacca was better. Sony 18-200mm F3.5-5.6 lens ! siaoness.

Singapore day 2

ok here's quite an outdated post.

Been quite busy and stuff but now quite free already cause I've stopped working. woohoo... got more time to spend more on photography already I hope. hehe. anyway, Eng Loon and I decided to ffk Yong Hua for his Yoyo competition. hehe. Anyway he won. Congrats to him..

So yeah. Day 2 in Singapore.

Woke up at around 10 or 11 if I'm not mistaken, then had brunch at a nearby hawker and off we went to Bugis street which is similar to our Petaling Street here..


They prefer mastercard? not cash? =P

While the girls pergi jalan jalan, William and I went for the mini fish spa there for fun.

After that, we went to St James Power Station to know more about the Tiger Beer history and how it started in Singapore etc... That place was quite interesting and they showed us the history mostly through video clips. not very boring though. you know lah.. Singapore dramas/movies also quite funny kan?


We passed by Vivo City on our way there. Quite a big mall..


I-dunno-what-is-it-called-tiger-thingy. can anyone help me out? hehe Tiger beer barrel. (thanks to danny)


And here, some of the Tiger bottles and stuff they used those days.









The 10 steps in the brewing process.


Elena learning how to pour the beer. Oh, if u noticed that white pipe there, it's covered with ice instead of stainless steel ke apa you see in pubs or clubs anywhere else.

That must be the reason their Tiger beer tasted good for me and it's smoother than any other Tiger beer. Serious !

Lepas minum Tiger beer, we went to Clarke Quay because I wanna go there to shoot the Merlion. After such a long journey there, we found out that they were gonna have their rehearsal of the fireworks display. Damn rich la they all. fireworks for national day also need rehearsal one.. that's why I only manage to get the backside of the lion lor which was shown in one of the previous posts.


Along the way...


Some balloon thingy...


I din wanna show my fireworks display one cuz not only I din bring tripod(this is not the point), I don't even know what settings to put for fireworks. How dumb I was? lol. Anyway I wanna show this photo cuz it shows 3 S there aka Super Steady Shot (One of the Sony Alpha's function). haha !

p/s: I personally felt the photos was not good and stuff.. So now I will spend some of my free time to shoot more and learn more. Will be going Putrajaya for fireworks display and Sony outing tomorrow. Excited !

Congrats

"Congrats, you have dust in your camera... "

That was the sentence Yong Hua told me when I asked him why my photos have those bubble thingy. damn mean right he. haha. jk. would like to thank him la for layaning all my questions. anyway, ishh. duno how or when or where did the dust went in. ish. my camera sensor needs mandi cleaning already. probably will do it tomorrow after I get a blower.

Anyway, during my trip to Singapore 3 weeks ago I think, we were quite fortunate I would say to be there to witness their rehearsal for their national day which falls on the 9th of August (if I'm not mistaken, anyway over already la).

So yeah. When we were walking around Clarke Quay, we heard the noise of jetplanes. First, I thought it was their NS (or whatever they call it in Singapore) training thingy. Until I saw this..



It was actually doing a Love shape on the sky, so I thought some crazy guy with the brilliant idea was proposing to his girlfriend or something. Then after a few minutes or so, there were more jetplanes doing making don't know what thing la on the sky. Then again, I thought it was their training thingy again. haha.. I only found out it was their rehearsal for the national day later by someone. I only manage to capture some photos of the jetplane rehearsal thingy..


One Jetplane.


Five Jetplane sticking together.


and they start to split each other...


and they go their own way....

yeah that's it... hmm. maybe I should have cropped the photos right? showing too much sky already I think. takper la. malas nak buat already.

oh... noticed the bubble thingy in the photos? let me show you clearly now.



ok. that's it. gonna sleep now. ciaoz.

oh. will be going to Times Square with Eng Loon tomorrow to shoot and support Yong Hua. haha. needs to train my shooting skill le.

Flower Shots

Hi all

Just came back from Triang, Pahang.

Went to a temple there on the hilltop over the weekend.

The place was beautiful and serene.

Shall post it sometime later. =D

Oh. Lee Chong Wei will be playing tonight. Support Malaysia ! w00t !

Meanwhile, here are some of the water lilies(correct me if I'm wrong) photos taken.


Shy Lily.


Attractive Lily.


Beautiful Lily.


Meng-geli-fying Lily.

I feel those thingies in the middle are damn geli.. what do you think ?

Busy and Tired.

wahhaha... been busy lately.

work from 9-6 everyday.

not enough time for resting and chilling also. Again, I shall post only a picture till I'm free to continue on my Singapore trip yeah.

C&C welcome for the picture below.

Goodnight.

Backside of Singapore's main attraction

Heyo.. Currently working as a Data Entry Clerk for Osim for about 3 weeks. Very tiring and due to the lack of time these days, I shall just post one picture in this post and postpone the Singapore trip first.

hehe.




The backside of the lion. Only manage to get this spot. Will let you know why soon.

p/s: schooling is really way better than working. ><

Singapore Trip Day 1

So so... Here is my Singapore trip post. well. have been working AGAIN after the trip cause now I wanna buy psp. heheheh... next time only work and save again for other camera accessories la. =D

Anyway, last friday, Janet, William, Elena and I went to Singapore for ermm... holiday? The next time if I were to go to Singapore again. I will make sure I have at least 500 SGD to enjoy to the fullest I guess. I had only 220 SGD for 3 days. Hotel is expensive. We stayed at Hotel Hamilton which is only a budget hotel but cost us like 70SGD=RM168 per person (Rate at RM 2.4 per SGD) for 2 nights. well well. I guess I should stop converting everything there into MYR. haha.

I would say the transportation there is very the extremely convenient that I wished I was brought up in Singapore so I can always go out anywhere I like without worrying about the transportation and the best thing about their taxi is that ALL taxis whether it's a old looking ones to a Mercedes Benz, it's all charged at the same rate except for the starting meter rate thingy is more expensive by few cents. so my advice is... try to get into a Mercedes Benz. hehe.

ok enough of talking. now let the picture do the talking on what we did on our arrival day.


Bus we took to Singapore in the morning.

Random shot.

Stop at the rest area. Janet and Elena.

On top of a bridge somewhere near Newton Food Court.


Taken by Elena in the bus.


After makan makan. Chinatown we went.

hehe. I found this pretty funny so I took a picture of it and this is the
furthest I can zoom.

And Zouk we headed to after minum minum at Chinatown. Taken using
Elena's camera because I didn't wanna bring my camera there. hehe

Overall, first day was quite good although a bit of rushing and tiring due to the lack of time. Clubs in Singapore is good for non-smokers in the sense that smokers has to smoke in one area somewhere behind the club which is quite sad la I guess (cause I don't smoke). =D That's quite a big difference compared to clubs in KL. haha.

Anyway, time for bed. Ciaoz people.

Fun with the baby
