While I was away in Kuala Lumpur, Aman, our household hen gave birth to 10 chicks. So far, 9 of them have survived and continue to terrorize our garden with their peeping and chirping.

It’s quite a racket.

After a her morning stroll around the compound with her kids, I finally managed to snap a picture of her taking a little nap with her brood.

Ah – the simple life.

I get to start a new category. Introducing: food. Why? Because I think one of the most mindblowing experiences is the act of eating good and nourishing food.

Here’s a series of pictures that I took during one of my last weekends based out of KL.

Feel free to click on the thumbnails to get a better look as well as any of my notes on the picture.

This is the first time I’m using my flikr account to post any of my pictures onto the blog, so bear with any of the glitches you might encounter.

3 days continuous eating

Ray takes us out to Pudu Raya to have some Teochew porridge on Friday night. Faridah joins us.

The following day, we go for Yong Tau Fu in Puchong. This was a personal highlight for me during this #nom adventure.

We have a little interlude with some lemongrass apple crumble from Yasser.

Then we pick Static Itch up and we head over to the opposite side of KL — Ampang — and nosh into Zaini’s Satay and the sloppiest Ramli Burger on the planet.

The following day, we all meet up for dinner and head over to PJ for a proper Cantonese style cookup.

Full happy food trip. One of the best. Special thanks to Ray for leading the #nom quest!

I love my mornings like I love my napalm.

Right Oz?

It’s Monday. 2:36am here in Penang. It’s a lovely night out with a full tropical moon with plenty of wispy clouds trying out for a lunar tan.

So I climbed onto the roof and took some photos.

This is my first HDR photograph following this tutorial. There seems to be allot of grief going around about HDR photography, especially the kind that uses 3rd party software to generate the high dynamic range.

But whatever, it looks cool.

It’s a picture of the spirit house that’s on the top of my parents house with the Batu Ferringi skyline in the background. 30s long exposures in 3 multiple exposures with different exposure biases for each one.

Tripods and remotes rock!

Here’s a photograph I took of the Dang Wangi Polis Station impound lot. The result of many, many a-clusterfucking.

I did not see any Macs in the piles and piles of computers. They would have probably been taken home.

I ♥ Twitterfox. But one of the big issues that I’ve had with the Twitterfox addon for Firefox is the lack a search function, preventing me from looking up any #-tags that I might be interested in.

I didn’t want to resort to a 3rd party client separate from my browser because I’m quite stingy when it comes down to sharing system resources.

Step 1.

Get the Add To Search Bar addon.

This is a ~wonderful~ addon that lets me put obscure site search bars (like Psydb.net) into my Firefox search bar.

Step 2.

After you’ve installed the addon, log into Twitter, and right-click on the search field on your page.

Step 3.

Add Twitter to your search bar.

Step 4.

Search for a #-tag.

Step 5.

Profit.

This culinary explosion is best enjoyed with 2 glasses of iced Chinese tea. This would allow the spot to be proverbially, hit.

This is where you can find the BEST laksa in Kuala-friggin-Lumpur. You find a map of power.

“折り紙は楽しい”

Dual bassline layers. Primary layer celebrates an acid house pattern, while the secondary layer keeps pace with a sub/saw tone with a touch of high-velocity reverb — creating space.

As it breaks, the bassline shifts chords into a syncopated EBM-style but retaining the secondary layer. This creates a sense of tempo while retaining space.

132BPM. Very out of my typical BPM range. But allowed me to fill in the blanks with a series of re-modulated sounds. Fractals.

Casio SK1 sample. Looped with a tape-looper.

Breaks from Keith Hillebrandt’s Useful Noise Vol. 2. The only sample release I’m proud to own.

Sequenced on Ableton Live 7.0.11 on my MacBook (2.2GHz/4GB).
