Camwhoring

Frankly, I never do cam whoring until I know a friend and have a remote control unit for my camera. Last time I was having a so called advance compact camera, if I want to take photo for myself, I would have to switch on the timer and wait for a few seconds for each snap. And the same steps gonna be repeated if you want to take more than one. Tedious and lazy already.

Now with Nikon D90 and a remote control unit, I can do this without running between my position and the camera. Yeah! How great it was to have a remote. Haha...

Because of the angle and wide lens effect, I look like having a big chest and arm. That's why I like wide angle lens on me. :P

What are we pointing at?
 

See, my image a bit blur, being thrown out from the focus point. :(
 

We are wondering what is he doing.
 

OK, here are some examples of my cam whoring session with friends. By the time you finish watching the last photo, you will notice that the angle of the camera was always the same. Yes, we were so lazy to change the angle. So after set it up, we just keep pressing on the remote but with different position, facial expression and body gestures.

Go and try it out today. Have fun cam whoring!

Catchup with the actors – The Swimming Instructor

During the play, Dave looks like one of my friend who I lost contact for quite a long time ago. Even his behavior made me wonder is he the one I knew but definitely he is not the one I knew. After the show, I manage to catch a photo with him and guess what? I found that when out from the stage, he looks like my computer teacher when I was in secondary school. Oh gosh, why he has the shadow of 2 people that I knew?

This is the photo I took with Niki Cheong. Hey, I look weird la, what the h... I stood like that? Wrong posture!

I like this photo the most. Why? Hahaha... you guess la.  

This photo also not bad, at least my posture is not as weird as the one taken with Niki. Hahaha...

The Curve

It has been a long time I didn't go to the curve and cineleisure for movie and shopping. Usually I will park my car in cineleisure and walk to the curve. I was a bit surprise that there are lots of changes here and I told myself it really been a while I didn't visit this place.

When I came out from the car park, the first thing I notice was the book store doing a clearence sales, all the books were not in the book shop. They already shut the door and put the goods at the empty space in front of the shop.

 

Shutting down of shops and reopen with a new one is something very common but the changes to the structure (the main entrance) is not that common. While I walk out from cineleisure main entrance, I saw a drastic change. Wow...I almost can't believe that I am in cineleisure. "The curve" has been renamed to "e @ curve".

Oh ya before I end this posting, I saw this new shop at B1. Hmmm, since when Popeyes like to eat chicken and seafood, I thought spinach only? Haha...

Goodbye 2009, Wecome 2010

Sometimes I wonder why time passed by so fast. I can still remember the first day I started my blog is at the end of Aug 09 and now it is the last day of the year. And I thought I won't be able to keep writting / updating my blog and eventually it will die some days. But what? Miracle did happened? I blog until now.

During November I was hoping that December can arrive sooner. I like this month because it is a month that's full of joys and happiness. There are quite a number of public holidays around and the work weeks are short, don't you feel that this is great?

I was a bit busy and tied up during the last week of the year, I only manage to draft the "year-end review" , Hannah Tan's charity concert and Camwhoring with friends but still not finalizing them for posting yet.

Stay tuned for more blog posts from me and thank you for reading my post all these while. Thanks again for the support, your viewing and comments are the energy for me to move further.

The naughty Beagle

Continue from my previous post of Golden Retriever, here’s the photos for the hyper active and naughty Beagle. There weren’t many photos for this bugger (ya, I call her this way because she is cute but darn hyper active) because it keeps moving, running, jumping here and there. I got to admit that this is the first time I was invited to take photo for dogs and my skill wasn’t being trained up yet. Perhaps I need more practice on photo shooting of “non-stop” moving objects.

Look at how she ran.

Even you had got her slept on the floor, she still want to move some other parts, which is her mouth.

How to make her stand still or limit her movement? We found a big rock and put her up there. Oh yeah, her movement has been limited and it is a lot easier for me to take her photos. And here’s the outcome.

Starring at me: “Hey, you better put me down else I will bite you!”

Microsoft Cibai

Hey, I am not scolding bad words or something like that. When I come across this term that MS used, I was stunned there, just can’t believe what I have seen. Oh gosh, MS, how can you use this term to name your new product. Okay, my friends, if you still don’t believe, why not take a look here.

All right back to the technical details of this thingy, it is actually an abstract interpretation-based static analyzer for modular analysis and verification of Java classes. I know it sounds a bit bombardstic and the description is not in layman term. It simply means this is a class (not the classes in school) that used in Java programming language.

Maybe to the Ang Mo, this word sounds nothing but just a new technical term in a programming language but it sounded very wrong in Malaysia, Singapore and etc.

Image that when you are attending a Java proramming class in college, the lecturer came in to the class:
Lecturer: OK, everyone I am going to teach you Microsoft Cibai now.
Student A: (Sound in disbelieve) Cibai?!?!?! And you gonna teach it?
Student B: Who want to volunteer for the class?
Lecturer: This Cibai is not the Cibai that we know. It can help us a lot!
Student C: I thought all Cibais are same?
Lecturer: …

Furthermore, there is this book called dummy for “something”. You can always see these books in those common book stores like Popular, MPH, Times and you name it. And you know what? There is a publication under this title called CIBAI for DUMMIES. Oh my god, do you think you can find this book in Malaysia or Singapore’s book store? If you do, please let me know. I would like to know how long can it stay at the shelf.

Whoever want to improve their performance while working with the Cibai, remember to look for this book ya. I am not kidding, it is printed on the cover.

Hopefully Microsoft will change the term later, or else you try to ignite your imagination again, in an IT office:
Colleague A: How’s your CIBAI today? Is it working now?
Colleague B: Of course! Since day one I was born.
Colleague A: …

Tamarind Hill Restaurant

I have been hearing this name for quite sometimes and for those who went there before keep telling me it is a nice restaurant to dine at. I browsed the internet then only I found that there are a few Tamarind restaurants around in KL. The one I went is at Jln Sultan Ismail, remember not the others.

I was invited to this restaurant for a friend’s birthday dinner. I arrived there quite early because I wish to take some shots before the sky turned dark. Personally, I felt that the environment is not bad, it gave you a very good mood for dinning. The design of the restaurant is a mixed of Burmese and Thai but some people told me it is a bit Bali feels. I guess you should be able to imagine how it looks like but if you can’t, why not go there and take a look?

Don’t ask me how about the food, forget it, just use the environment to compensate… Haha… OK, I found that the food is normal only, maybe you can get a lot cheaper outside in any chinese restaurant with the same or better quality.

I was thinking to bring my grandma to enjoy dinner here. Before reaching the entrance, I need to climb up the staircase and look at them, so many steps and not user friendly for disabled people at all.

And here’s the entrance of the restaurant. Staircase again. :(

There are lots of candles in the wall, it made me feel warm under the air-cond because I was sitting near to the wall.

Dim lighting in the restaurant that made you feel comfortable and relax.

I like the way they decorate the dining tables. Looks a bit classic and yet modern (what am I talking about ar?). A bit like what you see in Harry Potter? But definitely this is a lot nicer, right?

Some other decorations in the restaurant.
 

The candle wall.

Oh ya, before I forget, you can see the Petronas Twin Towers as well.
