2012-01-02T13:45:00.000+08:00

This is two months late but it's better late than never. I've so busy with life that I barely able to get my hands to blog until now. I wrote about the final Hennessy Artistry of 2011 here. It is the largest one of the year and features bigger and better stars such as Chris Willis. My pictures that night weren't great. I was barely able to get a clear shot to most of the artist as I failed to

My Nuffnang Story

2011-11-15T23:43:00.001+08:00

My story with Nuffnang began almost three years ago back in 2009. I picked up photography in 2008 and I restarted my blog which was closed a few years before. My initial goal was simple: promoting my photography and earning some extra cash along the way through advertisement. The early days as a Nuffnang member was monotonous and uneventful. A newcomer and a new name in the blogging community,

Kota Kinabalu Seaside HDR

2011-02-23T23:49:00.000+08:00

Probably the only HDR I've made during my trip to Kota Kinabalu this yea and it wasn't exactly as pretty as I wanted it to be. One of the reason why I delayed posting this picture until now. I was somewhere at the seaside of Kota Kinabalu town. The island situated at the right side of the picture is Pulau Gaya, the largest island in the Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park. It was about 4pm when the

Phototrip to Sekinchan - Jieyi Pinkabell

2011-01-31T22:58:00.001+08:00

Jackie have long talked about going to Sekinchan to do a shoot with Mike and I. It took quite some time untill it finally materialised. There was this one fine day where both of them were eager to make it happen and what's missing in the equation is what Mike call a victim a subject. And we're proud to have Jieyi as our victim model =P The drive from PJ took 2 hours. It was the first time to

I got this from Jessy when she tweeted me with it. According to her, the graph says that my progress has quite some resemblance to it. After going through it, I found it rather true in a way. Nevertheless, take your time and analyse the graph and tell if it's the same for you ;)

One Step Closer to the Maxis Om Nom Nom Race

Five Regrets of the Dying (by palliative care worker)

2010-12-30T22:07:00.000+08:00

I read this in Facebook as well. Supposedly written by a palliative care worker and I find it meaningful. Why such sad post when New Year and Christmas is around the corner? It depends on how you look at it. I'm just thinking that we've all made it to 2011 so we should be thankful that we did. I hope this will make more people live their life to the fullest. Enjoy and Happy New Year! For many

11 Rules You Did Not and Will Not Learn in School

2010-12-27T13:34:00.000+08:00

Saw this on Facebook notes posted by one of my friends. It says it's from Bill Gates but I'm unsure if it's really form him. I find it a good read so I'm sharing it to you all. Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it! Rule 2: The world doesn't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself. Rule 3: You will NOT make

Michael Angelo Batio - No Boundaries

2010-12-13T23:59:00.000+08:00

It all started when I was loading songs into my phone the day visiting Jaben. Eruptions by Van Halen was one of the songs I synced into my phone. I played this song when I tested the Sennheiser HD650 with the Symphonica cables. That's when my mood for electric guitar solos arise. Then I suddenly thought of this video a friend of mine, Bernard, once showed me many years ago. I've forgotten his

KK Trip Day 5: Pulau Sapi and Goodbye Sabah!

2010-12-01T23:37:00.006+08:00

I woke up at about 11am that morning. Everyone felt so tired from our strenuous activity the day before, which almost left us bedridden. I remember my legs hurt so bad I refused to budge even a bit from the bed. I still got up anyways, not without a struggle. Jo-anne and Ren Yin were already at the Sunday morning market. Can't believe they were up early. The market was a few blocks away from the

KK Trip Day 3&4: Conquering Mount Kinabalu

2010-11-07T23:27:00.003+08:00

We settled, we rested and we got a good night sleep at our comfortable and cosy rooms at the Hill Lodge, Kinabalu Park. We got up, made our final preparation and were all set to our destiny: Conquering Low's Peak, the highest peak of Mount Kinabalu. However, we were greeted with a bad news: Carol got sick and was unable to follow us for the hike. Morale was low and everyone was down; we

KK Trip Day 2: Kinabalu Park

2010-10-31T18:28:00.003+08:00

We planned to wake up earlier for island hopping but failed because most of us were too tired from our travels the day before. We had lunch at the town before heading to Jesselton Point with hopes of getting a ride for island hopping. It turns out that the timing was just not right and we forfieted the plan. All we did there was just hanging around snapping photos and just chilled. Tried some

KK Trip Day 1: The Arrival

2010-10-07T23:06:00.021+08:00

This post was due almost two months ago. It took weeks before I started meddling with the hundreds of NEF files, processing them to the way I like it. Heck, it even took me a few days to even upload them into my computer and then import them into Lightroom. Even when I look back at it now, I'm still unhappy with how I touch up my photos. Fickle minded I am but I guess I'm done for now. I planned

Later, I found out that Jessy was interested so I asked her along.Adele later brought her friend, Shermaine to join her for the shoot. I wanted to try out some things that are new to me. Thankfully Mike brought along an umbrella and I got
