a perfect portrait in kellie castle, 28/5/2011

What a day, finally i have myself the first portrait in Kellie's Castle!

okay, it was not plan at first, but the day when i come back to Ipoh,
I was thinking to find Voon and why not we have a shooting session?

and the reason i choose Kellie's Castle is because I can't think of any place that is suitable for portrait..

besides, I need to find a place which has less people..
cause Voon not used to pose in front of many people..even though I myself also not used to shoot in front of many people..

then when I ask Voon to be my model, she just said yes immediately!
that's how the best friend work!haha
alright, i really feel excited that time..i tried to do some research and see how other photographers take photos in Kellie's Castle..

not to say I follow everything they did, but just as reference..

for example, the pose, the place and some angles
I thought of going to start the shooting at 7 something..

try to get some nice sun rise and better light..

but the most important i forgot was the time open for the castle!!

How come i can forget about it??
I feel like slapping myself that moment..and feel lucky the model is my close friend!

then i immediately call her and she was not ready yet at that moment..

so we decided to go at 8am and i will reach her house by 7.30am..

About 8 something we reach the castle and there was no one until almost 9 we saw a malay couple, then we just enter the castle..

the weather is nice, but the sun not really good..anyway, the shooting start!

These four photos was the first set of clothes which used in the shooting..

for this shooting, i like the fourth one for the most!
because of the light i think..i always think of shooting this kind of light effect..
IT'S NOT AFTER PHOTOSHOP EFFECT!
but after this shooting i can't do it already i wonder why..

that's the sad part..

let's continue to the next part!

The best photos are here already! if you are interested to see the full one, please go to my facebook!
but i guess no one would actually interested..cause im not famous photographer what!
anyway, i hope to be famous one day!
i plan to ask one of the wedding photographers whether can guide me or not..
but i dont know how to ask..

as what my sister told me, if I told her i want to learn from her but this is just my hobby,

what she will think?
mostly will reject me right?
hmmm..maybe should reconsider..
alright, i think i will try and ask first!
i just saw her once in my cousin's wedding..she looks friendly..i should try right?
okay, try it and no regrets!

that's it for this post! thanks for the view! will try to improve!
Ciao for now~

singapore trip 14-16/5/11

Alright, i know it's time to update my blog!
pheww~
when i started this post,
it's my second last semester in inti already!
time's really fast right? when i first open this blog,
that's when i enter to inti!
I won't write it here what happen last semester,
because it's not really good..
nevertheless whether in study or relationship,
all didn't went well,
well...just another day right?
we gotta move on!
there's many things we still care in the world, for example, family..do y'all agree?

From the last semester break, i went to Singapore! again......
Haaa..i know i just went to there at last year december!
but last trip did not fulfil what i wish..
i wanna go travel alone for so long already!
yeaa..thanks to all my best friends.
I'm taking bus from Ipoh at 14/5/2011 and depart at 10pm as the bus was delayed..

well..it doesn't matter..because the bus driver reach KL in one and a half hour! super fast right?
nvm, as long as you drive safe.. i just wanna reach the destination as early as possible!

about 6pm something, finally i reached S'pore after crossing the custom and many many checking..
when i reach, i faced a problem! i can't find any MRT station..and i don't know who can i ask to direct me..the google map i search before the day is not accurate..but once i found the St. John thing then i saw the MRT station was just left hand side!!

luckily i still have the ez link card with me and the money inside was just enough for me to reach Ang Mo Kio, which is the place where my cousin is living.
after dinner with cousin, i immediately went out to meet Jiuh..and we went to City Hall...
i wonder why there's no one bring me before until i saw the wallpaper from my friend..it was AMAZING! i mean the durian thingy (what it called actually??tell me!) and Marina Bay Sand!

Beautiful right?? i didn't mean my photography skill ok! it's just everyone who's there would be amazed by the night scenery! at least for me! ><
if it's not my friend was with me..and i don't want to miss the last train to home..i would have taken more!so...that's it first night!

Day 1~~

the eggs nice right??haha..this is the restaurant in Seranggon..and i dont remember the name of the restaurant..
and this is the only breakfast i had in this trip!
you know i don't prefer breakfast..
well..after that, i gotta go for Kah Yan's party..
it's been a long long time since the last time i saw her!

seriously, the contact was really hard..my shit roaming was not working!

so i gotta ask my friend to text her and call by using my cousin's phone..
but at last i make it to her house!
this is Kah Yan!

you know what? there's more than people in this house are from Ipoh!
great right? it's rare to Ipoh people in S'pore (I guess?)..so it's happy to see them..and even one of them is my former secondary school classmate!

i get to know some of her friends too..before that i was thinking that i might be awkward at the party since i dont know any of them.. x.x
but later what happened proved me wrong!
they are nice and friendly just like Kah Yan!

after that, i met Jiuh again!
for the last time of this trip..
because tml he will be working..
anyway, i wish you all the best from the deep down of my heart!
i really hope you can success and dont go 冤枉路 again!
we went to Clark Quay..one of the place i like in Singapore at night!
haaa.. i don't know why..i don't like to go clubbing..but i enjoy the atmosphere at the bar..

people drinking and chatting..and the lights..and most importantly there's a river at the side..
i wonder why i like water so much...
here's the photos!

Day 2~~

the last day! actually it's not really last day..since tml i only left this place..but i wont be going anywhere tml..so i'll just call this as the last day!
after i had carried the tripod by one day and two nights..i've decided to abandon it at my cousin's room since i know that i wont use it anymore..at least not in day time and night i'll be having dinner with my cousins!
my leg was seriously numb and pain after continuously walk for so long!!

but no choice i gotta enjoy the last day for my travel alone!
well..it's quite boring at first..
i went to Marina Bay Sand and walk out from the Marina Bay station..

i thought the MBS would be near because last time i went there by my relative's car..
it's hell far plus the sun is at the top of my head..my t-shirt was full of sweat..
seriously, my shirts were full of sweats for all these days i wear for the trip..yet smelly! :S
anyway..i went to the casino, like finally?
it's big and many aunties uncles..
and i still feel shock even though i know already when they take out like 20 pieces of $50..

the troublesome part is before you enter to casino you need to give the bag to the guard to check all the stuffs..and could not hide any water or food..so i got no choice but to finish drink all the water..

after that i start my first daylight shooting for the landscape in S'pore!

Not really nice.. and quite boring since i already took some from last time..
then, i moved to Vivo city to go for my first shopping in S'pore!

but guess what, when i waiting the MRT at Dhoby Ghaut station, i met Kah Yan and her family!

what a coincidence!haha..it's really surprise for me!

because last night she was asking me to go sentosa..but due to the limit of contact..so i told her not to go last night..and today we met!haha

so i was giving up my last and first shopping in this trip and headed to sentosa..~

I really had a great time in S'pore!

even though it's quite tired..
but it's quite interesting as i get in touch with some old friends..

at least i knew some new friends..

and btw i need to thanks to my cousin for letting me to stay at his house! appreciate lots!
i dont know whether i will work in S'pore at the future or not..whether it is in KL or Ipoh..

S'pore still a good choice..and maybe i should work as a banker at there..

but cousins told me that bankers in S'pore are tough..

i really don't know at the moment..let God decide the future huh?

after one and a half hour, Ipoh here I am!

elo

sorry for not blogging for so long!
this time i won't come up with a reason of laziness..
there are few reasons why i don't always update...
my english is not that good, so actually everytime when i write a new blog,
i used a very long time..
besides, lack of creativity would be another reason..
blogging is like english essay exam for me..
the main target would be to write an interesting article and get the highest mark from the lecturer..that means you lahh..

okay,
there are some interesting stories from the past i wanna tell..
but it's quite long..(i think so)..and i came to blog because of waiting my friend for skype!
hmmm.finally the third semester of my second year ended!
i will be going through my third year at next year..means the final year already!!
i believe tougher challenges will come to me..
im lucky to pass over these moments..
i actually lucky for almost every semester..
why?i tell you..because the subjects i've taken for each semester is easier than when my friend took it..
but not this time..i really screwed by the lecturer..
i believe he didnt teach properly because he needs to do his PhD and he is also the head of accounting..he postponed about four classes and never replace it...he always teach until out of topic..
and the most important thing is about the final exam..
there are three questions, he gave us two topics for the calculation questions..
but the formula from one topic is totally useless! it didn't come out at the final..he told one of the student,he said: this one you mustn't use my formula, you should use the other 0ne, calculate one by one." what the hell is the other one??i never knew other formula, not even in his tutorial..
after that, one student found out some typo from the paper, he correct it and announced without using mic! im so wanna show him the finger already, but eventually he came closer to me and read once more..dammit!i heard wrong that "15,000" to "5,000" ..it was a big amount..and i could lose huge marks for this question...luckily i noticed there is something wrong and i ask permission from the lecturer to correct it from my friend..
if it happens on you, would you have the same reaction as mine?i don't know, maybe im just overreacted..

well, im gonna enjoy my holidays now!
will go to S'pore at 12nd of Dec..
plan to ask some friends to go along,
but now i don't think most of them will come..you see, it happens all the time..
im just sick of asking friends to go travel..i don't know what's the problem..
maybe i should stick with the travel alone plan!
i plan to buy a new lens!
17-40mm f/4.0L or 55-250mm f/4-5.6
i plan to buy iphone4 first actually..
but after i think, it is not worth to use so many money to buy a phone,
lens will be worthwhile!
if i buy the first one, it will be installment! the price for that is very expensive..DAMN expensive!
it is a wide lens, which will get a different effect! you search image for wide lens then you will know it! it is mainly use in landscape photo, plus it is also a L lens!
if the second one, i can pay by lump sum cz it is more cheaper than the first one..this one can zoom hell far and the price is fair..i actually need this to shoot for events or birds..
any opinion??

17-40mm f/4.0L

55-250mm f/4-5.6

haa.cz im gonna buy one of it as my 21st birthday present! iphone go away!
okay, will update more since it is holiday now!
ciao.

rooo.....boooo

well well well...
see who's the one kissing MU badge and said he will never leave Manchester United?
i felt shock to him..cz i thought he was a loyal MU player like Giggs,Scholes and Neville..
anyway,im not that into him except he really MADE an impact at the first season he joined MU.
after his debut season, his style was changed and i didnt feel that he was that great anymore..
what an overrated player all the time!

hmmmmm.its friday now!
the feeling is not really the same compare to last week..
cz the break is gonna end soon..
things are not going well in this year,
what i've expected,
it didnt go right way..

i really dont want to blame so much,
what i wrote most in here was complain this and that..
should appreciate huh?
anyway,i still got my life well now.

P/S:dammit!i missed the photomarathon! X(

best week

It was the second week of this semester,
went to so many places and many things were happened!
i conclude it as the best week ever since i study in inti for so long..

it starts from last saturday,
Zi Hang finish his working at kl and came back to inti to play squash with me..
he said he just missed squash so much!
haa.but he didnt know that im not that into squash anymore..
since something was happened..
i don't feel like joining other members for squash,
i guess i'll just play alone then, or with Zi Hang most probably.
how come this will happen?i still remember last time i was so in love with squash,
who knows?things change easily sometimes

okay,come back!
it was saturday as i was mentioned just now,
we played squash for friday night and saturday afternoon.
suddenly Zi Hang asked me to go to Pavillion to meet Steve and Elaine for dinner,
i say yeah! for sure if there is a car....
since it was about 6pm when we reach KL,
the traffic was jam like hell,
we went to sunway at first to fetch Rachel then only we go to Pavillion.
thanks to the new GPS from Zi Hang,
he is not familiar with that thing,
i mean the direction it showed was actually telling us that we should turn at the next corner,
but we thought it was far more than that..
keep on went to wrong direction..
and like finally,we reached at 9 something!
then we go for TGI Friday's!





after the dinner,
we planned to go back to inti..
but on the half of the road,
i suddenly suggest that we should go Putra Jaya and take a look!
you know,usually everybody will ignore me and dont know why they listen to me this time..

this bridge was really amazing for me..
too bad i didnt bring my tripod..
this is the best i can do already!

and..i didnt charge my battery..this is the last one before the battery dead!
i should buy a spare one..should i??
Putra Jaya, i will come again!

On wednesday,
Wei Far is leaving..
going to UK to further his study!
so good huh?
i might be going as well if he ask me earlier!
i really didnt think of goin to UK or Aussie to study..
im not that into study you know,
i study because my parents ask me to..
but i didnt say that i didnt learn anything all these years..
i didnt regret also because i met a lot of good friends in inti,
hmm..let's wish good luck to Wei Far!


After i sent off Wei Far,
i went to the I-City!
i think most of the people know I-City now..
it is a place that you must visit!
according to internet,
it is the first lightscape tourism destination in m'sia!
isn't that cool?
the trees are decorate with LED lights!
i mean the tree is not a real tree,
it does not have any leaf
the leaf is the LED light..
just like the picture down there!



haa.jump shoot is what i hoping to do for a long time!
its fun when you saw your action is freeze!





Friday,
i met Voon!
haa.i can't say how much excited to meet her..
she is one of the best girl friend of mine!that's why..!
i don't even remember when was the last time i saw her!
hmmm..i just know i drop her at Jusco last time!
anyway, she is so slim when i saw her!
she insist that she always been slim..is it?
hey dont lie!
haha.okok..she really slim and beautiful all the time..

and, WTH! her mom said that im fatter!
i swear im gonna get slimmer when i go s'pore for her convo!

then we take our dinner together at Tony Roma with her family,
and her family is so friendly and even treat me for the dinner!
ahh,i wouldn't go in to the restaurant if i know that happens!
anyway,thanks again for the treating!

Let's congrats to Berba as he scored his first hat-trick in Man Utd against Liverpool last night!
i really didnt expect him will score so many in one match, some more in a big match!
this is his third season in Man Utd, maybe something big will happen on him at this season.. let's see~~ =p

okay,i went back to nilai already.. since yesterday.
now realize that i actually open a new post every time when the new semester starts,
because i was too boring and i didnt blog much during the holidays..
not much to talk about,
since nothing happen..
but yeah!i got the salary from working for my dad!
will go to kl this weekend and buy the lens maybe..
still thinking whether to buy the lens first or the external flash..
@#^@$%$^

and..anyone wanna go Paramore or Adam Lambert's concert??
either one of them!i couldn't find anyone to accompany me!
actually i didnt find..haa..cz i don't think anyone interested..
Maroon 5 and The Script's new album is really nice!
go download and listen it~

workkkk

im still here!
i just busy working for my dad,
that's why i didnt update!
i actually wanna update the trip that my friends who came from KL and Johor to Ipoh~
but..its too much to say..i think...
will update when i have time, hopefully~

okok,
i started to work for my dad,
this is my first time to work seriously,
kinda boring at the first few days,
because im still new!
my dad actually got two stores there..
one is for selling and another one is for storing.
i spent most of the time in store room because the works are much more easier than selling..
selling is more difficult because you really need a lot of experience and knowledge,
the knowledge for spare parts!
haa,i didnt mention what my dad is selling huh! yaa,its spare parts!
so when i was working in the selling department,
i was like helpless sometimes..
i really don't what the item when they said to me.
suddenly i felt that the people who doing this job is great!
i never felt that before..
u know when u look at the shop you will feel like "ahh,it must be dirty and those people must not study much" haa!honestly i didnt feel like that, i like my dad's shop,i just didnt know those people are so great!
maybe you won't get much higher salary on this job,
but you must know that not many people can do this job!

after the first week, i really getting tired!
because i need to wake up early and work for the whole day..
to be frankly wake up early is really hard for me!
no matter how early i go to bed, but still i feel like not enough of sleep.. =.=
u have to work for six days a week and rest at sunday only..
its a tough, tough job!
anyway,it's just a one month experience for me,
i have to go back to uni after the new semester starts...
well, two more weeks to go!
and the same for my holiday to the end..

hmm..gotta sleep!
that's all! good night! :)
