A Perfect Tandem: Food Blog and Food Photography

2012-10-13T16:31:00.000-07:00

Watching the sunset this afternoon made me nostalgic so I tried to amuse myself to divert my nostalgic state. Instead I captured another golden hour scene from my window. It’s been a long while I haven’t gone to a photo session. Looks like I miss clicking the shutter and viewing on my camera’s viewfinder. Last week I just had an invite to be a back up photographer in a birthday party of my friend but unfortunately I was a bit cramming and was trying to beat a deadline so I didn't make it.

Sunset

After hitting the deadline, a friend who generously cooks invited us again for lunch at his place. He has invited us over the couple of weekends and I get to taste his recipes. I never knew he's a good cook until I tried his dishes. He can be a good food blogger if he decided to blog his cooking for sure, I will be one of his followers. Speaking of food blog, I have been contemplating on starting a food blog. Yes, you read it right, a food blog. I may not be as good as my friend and I may not have plans of taking culinary but I can cook and it might be a good idea to journal my cooking adventure and perhaps our dining out experience. I have been visiting food blogs with great food stock photos which also inspires me to try food photography. Food blog and food photography? I think that would be a perfect partner. So I think I’d better get started. Wish me luck! Here’s to give you a glimpse.

Port Dickson: A Weekend Gateaway Close to the City

I was frazzled with so many deadlines the past weeks and so after accomplishing and meeting all the deadline it’s time to take a break and unwind. Away from my loved ones, I usually wind down in solitude. But this time, I had a chance to join a group of friends for a weekend gateaway. Drove more than an hour and a half from Kuala Lumpur, we went to relax and plunge ourselves in the stunning beaches of Port Dickson.

The small town in the state of Negeri Simbilan used to produce charcoal has evolved into a famous holiday destination and busy trading center. Aside from the 18 kilometers stretch of stunning beach, being close to the country’s capital, Kuala Lumpur makes Port Dickson a popular beach holiday destination.

Having that 18 kilometers stretch of beach, you've got numbers of resort to chose from. It’s your call on what resort to stay as the cleanness of water as well as the quality of sand definitely varies. One of the best beach resorts in the area is Pantai Teluk Kemang which is also the well known and most visited beach in Port Dickson. Aside from the resort’s basic facilities, you've got various water sports to enjoy plus wide variety of food stalls and restaurants. Accommodations such as hotels, apartments and bungalow are just walking distance from the beach. Some hotel resorts in the area can be good for a wedding reception, parties and other special events.

My friends and I stayed at Sri Bulan place, a condominium type hotel with swimming pool in the podium which also has a nice view of the beach. Here are few snaps I took around the area.

Travel Aspiration

2012-05-04T05:11:00.000-07:00

My wife and I love to travel and one of our ultimate dreams as a traveller is to cruise the Caribbean or Bahamas. That would be a luxurious vacation for us if ever this dream comes true and for sure my wife will be jumping and shouting for joy. And so, to be able to have this planned cruise right on our fingertips, I think I need to start saving for it until we gather enough funds for it.

Knowing how expensive it is to be on cruise not everyone gets to experience cruising. However there are various cruise operators nowadays who offer big discounts which will definitely help those who are in a tight budget. Cruises come in a package deal which will help you control your finances. Mostly it includes meals, accommodations as well as air fare to and from the cruise port and sometimes they even include shuttle service from port to the airport or vice versa similar to port of Miami shuttle to Miami airport.

There are various cruise destinations available nowadays and if you are still thinking for the best cruise destination perhaps you should know that the hot destination picks are the Caribbean, Bahamas, Antarctica, Mediterranean and the South Pacific. There are lots of reasons why these destinations are special, just do a research on your own for you to find out.

So if this tickles your travel plans, why not try a cruise and experience the fun and excitement being on cruise.

Zapp Family Car

2011-07-18T20:23:00.000-07:00

Last week my photographer friend tells me that the Zapp families are here in KL. But then, yesterday I saw a vintage car and it seems it like a Zapp's family popular car that park on our apartment.

So, I took my camera from our unit and luckily Mr. Herman is around and preparing for his next journey in Penang. I got a chance to take photo with him. I didn’t see his family as they are resting for their next trip. I also took picture of their famous 1928 car as I really want to take this opportunity.

Online Shopping

2011-02-13T18:41:00.000-08:00

My wife use to shop online for her personal stuff while I prefer to go to the store for my stuff. I normally refuse when she tell me to buy stuff online. But last day, I was persuaded by her to try the convenience of shopping online. Last Saturday I had no time to go to the store, so I tried to purchase a memory card online. It’s the first item I have purchased something online and pretty well the transaction went well, just like when my sister in-law bought her nursing uniforms online for the first time. Just like her, I’m happy that the transaction went well and the item was delivered right on my doorstep within 24 hours. It was also my wife who convince my sister in-law to try shopping online, and thru her she was able to find a good medical uniform store online.

Now it looks like, that I will be having my next shopping online to avoid the hassle & bustle of going to the mall. I hope to find a good mens scrub pants the next time I shop online. Thanks to my wife, I should have done more online shopping before if you had convinced me to shop online early.

Thinking about Mountain Ski

2010-12-15T17:46:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I just watch TV and it’s all about mountain skiing. I just amaze how great they are and wonder where they get their endurance for such a sport like ski. Watching them let me think that I need to learn more about mountain skiing. It’s dangerous but exciting! I need great equipment like Ski crampons marker baron. This could help me in mountain skiing. I also need to choose the best but cheap arrows too. In this sport I need to choose only the best.

I need to maintain my endurance and have a healthy diet exercise. Mountain skiing is a great sport but you need to exercise especially your upper body. I never done mountain ski before. My resistance maybe not enough but training with sparq power bands exercises can help to develop my power and speed. I do love ski but I need to be prepared.
