UNITEN - Putrajaya - Dengkil - Bangi - UNITEN 44KM Sunday Ride

noreply@blogger.com (CW) — Sun, 31 Jul 2011 16:26:00 +0000

Sunday morning. We wake up around 6.30am. Pack and check the bike, helmet and every essentials for riding. Ditch the bike into the car and we head towards our grown up university - UNITEN. The sky is a little gloomy, rain expected. Once we parked our vehicle at meetup point - UP10 food court car park. We unload all the bike, do a final checking include tire pressure. I boot up my Garmin, turn on the engineering tracking. Danny and Joel is busy pumping air into their tire make sure it is hard enough to hit the road safely.

Once everything ready, we set out foot on pedal and off we go. We knew today going to be something different from what we did before. With a little adventurous and have bike will ride attitude. We head towards Putrajaya. We ride through Precint 1 and then to PICC. After PICC, we head directly towards Dengkil town for breakfast. First leg was 19KM. We take around 1 hour break in Dengkil for breakfast.

Rain started to pour in where we got to wait till the rain stop. Once the rain stop, we start our 2nd leg where we head towards Bangi. The ride is smooth with little uphill.

We take a short break at Bangi before headed back to UNITEN. The route back to UNITEN via Ayer Hitam was all the way uphill and little downhill. Pedalling efforts required here.

Finally reach UNITEN around 12pm. Total distance covered approximately 44KM. Time clocked 3 hours and 30 minutes.

Total distance covered 44KM in 3 and half hour.

Severely damaged Canon EOS 350D with EFS 10-22mm lens

noreply@blogger.com (CW) — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 09:11:00 +0000

I found this photo on my old flash drive. Just to share with everyone a lesson learned the hard way back in 2009. I was taking photo in Port Dickson using my Canon EOS 350D with EFS 10-22mm ultra wide lens. Due to laziness, I just bring the Manfrotto MODO tripod to support the system (FYI, MODO only support point and shoot!). After a few shot, I decided to change the location, thus I just grab the tripod with the camera mounted and walk. Out of sudden, I feel that my tripod become weightless and I heard a loud thump behind me! I knew something terribly wrong happened. When I turned over my head and I saw the camera lying on the floor with the filter glass shattered over the floor. The grip shutter also fallen apart. There's nothing much I can do and I realize that camera actually slided out from the head. The interlock actually gives way due to the weight of the camera and lens. Lesson learned, never use a small tripod that are not meant for big job!. Damage caused - RM895.

Jane + Vliam Wedding Day

noreply@blogger.com (CW) — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 06:29:00 +0000

The photographer for Jane and Vliam pulled out last minute. I was called in to shoot their wedding day. I wanted to try something new after long break from shooting wedding. Shooting cinematic video and photo for wedding is totally different. I am mixing the way we see in video into shooting this wedding. A pure different look.

What a day?

noreply@blogger.com (CW) — Tue, 11 May 2010 16:53:00 +0000

I can't believe that I slipped off the G11 from my hands and dropped it onto asphalt floor. Immediately I send in to Canon Service Center. Got a call from Andy - Canon Service Center today said that the camera is still in working condition. I am not sure how serious is the damages to the G11. I knew that the cosmetic part is already scratched especially on top of the flash light, the adapter bayonet ring etc.

I need to test the camera again to see if there's any problem with the camera. I think I deserve the award of Camera Dropper. Today G11, previously my 350D and Sony DCR-SR62E HDD camcorder. What's next?

I can't believe that the January 2010 was my last blog. February was a busy month for me. Chinese New Year, Crazy Monkey Studio and my daily job really takes up much of my time.

Yeah..wait..what the heck is crazy monkey studio? I had team up with another two partners to form Crazy Monkey Studio last year doing the things we loved most - photography and cinematography. We are a bunch of monkeys who tells your wedding story in a unconventional way... Curious to find out what we do? Just point your mouse and browser to http://www.crazymonkeystudio.com

My Huawei E220 modem been giving me some strange disconnection and device not found symptom. I've been trying for the past 3 hours just to get my self connected to gmail, unfortunately the modem keep on disconnected intermittently. This is getting up to my nerves. Until I found a better solution - instead of using the connectivity software provided by Huawei, I setup a dial up connection manually via connection manager in Windows 7. Whoalla, it get connected and stay connected - easily! If the problem still persist, I'll make sure the modem goes into the recycle bin. *pissed*

That's the end modem story. What's next? Time management...

2010

noreply@blogger.com (CW) — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 14:29:00 +0000

Welcome to 2010..yep..time strike like lightning..
Just some update..

My 2010 goal..
1. Get a house - a proper landed property for my own stay. I've been hunting it since last year. Due to financial constraint, still can't find a proper house yet. Hopefully will be able to get one before first Q of 2010.

2. Same as num 1.

3. Repeat num 1 if num 2 did not achieve.

My wishlist and shopping list (both are the same. What I wish is what I wanna get...)

1. Blackberry - Why? It's been running up and down and all around my head before I decided to go for blackberry. I started to hate touch screen phone. Furthermore, my Iphone 2G had been with me for more than 2 years started to disintegrate..

2. Tripod - yes, since the last incident where I accidentally dropped my camera due to overloaded small tripod. Repair cost me rm850 bucks.. Lesson learned - use a proper tools for proper job. Good things ain't cheap, and cheap stuff ain't good!

That's all folks

More to come in 2010.. stay tune..

Hello world!

noreply@blogger.com (CW) — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 01:11:00 +0000

Hello world! I am back to blogging business after keeping myself busy for some times..

Break-in and robbed....

noreply@blogger.com (CW) — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 05:44:00 +0000

Last Thursday morning, I walked slowly towards my car parked beside the road where I stay in Sunway Damansara. I was a little shocked when I opened my boot and found out that it is so clean. Then slowly I check out the car surrounding and found that rear left passenger side windows was broken. The next thing in my mind it to take out my camera and snap surrounding where my car had been broken into.

I found a piece of windows glass belongs to my car next to the door. There's nothing much can I do but just to report to the nearby police station in Kota Damansara. When I arrived at the Police station, before I could make any report, the police officer ask me if my car was break in. Just nodded and say yes. Then I realize that same location, 2 case happened at the same time. I finished off my report and meet the sarjan at Mutiara Damansara police station to describe everything I found out from the break in.

There's nothing much can do with the losses, but a lesson learned - never put anything inside your car even inside the boot.

There's no such thing safe place in Malaysia. Welcome to Malaysia. I just found out my friend's neighbor who stay in heavily secured and gated area in Tropicana just got break into.

24 hours in a day...

noreply@blogger.com (CW) — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 15:46:00 +0000

There's 365 days in a year. 24 hours in a day. 60 minutes in an hour and 60 seconds in a minute.

There's a common rants from my friend; "I don't have enough time...", "I wish there's 36 hour in a day..." bla...bla...bla.. and so on. (All these rants are sickness to me!)

Time is what you can't buy even if you're Bill Gates, Soros, Warren Buffet, some kick ass famous prime minister, or legendary pop singer. You can't change the fact that there's only 24 hours in a day. Nothing more or less.

Everyone on earth is given 24 hour a day. The only difference is how you spend and plan your time. Once it is gone, it is gone forever.

Stop ranting and keep your plan kicking. Time is life. Once the clock stop ticking, you're no more alive.

End of June

noreply@blogger.com (CW) — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 10:27:00 +0000
