Trip To Bandung & Jakarta

Pixs when I was travelling to Bandung 9 february till 12 February 2010.

Age Is Just A Number

Today is the day where I was born 35 years ago. I remember, I stayed with my real family till I was 6. One day, my late father packed my clothes up and said "We are going to place, a nice place". I assumed that it was a vacation. I wondered why my father brings me alone. I didn't care much. The only thing...it is a vacation...hoorey. After crossing border checkpoint then straight to a remote "kampung". Then we reached to a house, very original-old-malay style-wooden-house. Looking around.... gosh where the hell am i. No electricity. No nothing. I thought we just dropped by visiting relatives. Arghh!!! It wasn't. They are my new family. Ohhh no. About one hour chatting with the folks, my father said goodbye and left me there. I cried out loud. He said he will be visiting me every Saturday. Time by time, day by day I waited first visit of parents.
My 1st school at Sekolah Kebangsaan Kuak Hulu ( at that time, ada lagi sekolah reban ayam - dindng buloh atap rumbia)had hard time. It was different from what i learned before. Different language. But i went thru very well. 6 years spending there. I have learned a lot. Living with adopted family, you can't expect to get same like your real family treat you. NEVERMIND... One thing i learned, "respect others before you want to be respected"

I miss my friends there... Damang, Pak Mat Debeng, Biwek, Man Toya & lots more. Where are they. Maybe one day i'll pay a visit. I had a great time with them.

That is it. life goes on. Build own family...have kidz. Happy birth day to me..hhahah

Ibu Mertuaku by P. Ramlee vs The Eye by Jessica Alba : What the movies have in common

Last night, i stayed up late watching EPL.. Spur Vs Birmingham. Not interesting game. They are not my favorite team though. Then switched movie channel and exactly new movie started. It was THE EYE by hot Jessica Alba played as Sydney. Enjoying the movie with a bit suspense. You know, when you watching horror movie in the middle of the night alone, i think you feel what i felt. Anyway, it was undercontrol.It is not that i wanted to share with you. After watching THE EYE, then realised that Malaysian's movie - IBU MERTUAKU [translation : MOM IN-LAWS, released in 1960s (i guess)] by late P. Ramlee played as Kassim Selamat has in common with THE EYE. But, the storyline is different. Ibu mertuaku is heavy movie-drama.


Both are born with eyesight and got blind due to certain incident. Both are musician. Kassim Selamat is saxophonist and Sydney is violinist. After a while, both regain eyesight after undergone a surgery. Ending up, Kassim forked his eyes when he knew that his wife is still alive. He has been cheated by own mother in-law. How tragic!. Sydney after surgery, is able to see what normal people do not see. Paranormal. She sees Death. She saves lives from mass explosion. Smashing glasses make her blind.

Long Time No See

It has been a long since my last update. Well, lately i have been tied up with a lot of stuff.. personal, work etc. I have been in Penang last 2 weeks, spending 4 days there. Office needs my expertise to CSI job. Naaah..... just small investigation. a new set up company, has incompetent employee. That is what they claimed. Whether they wrongly employed or she wanted to save the company... i do not know. My job is confined to the complaint. Maybe she is right but she could be wrong also. The way she acted like someone is behind her... have gone overboard. Didn't she know her boss is co-owner of the company? Whatever he does is mainly business decision... I believe. Heard rumor that individuals disapproved the joint-venture. Ironically, they knew that the JV has been endorsed. Anyway, that is high level gossip. What i concern more clear it up fast and let me concentrate real job.

The above pix has been manipulated using dynamic HDR. Enjoy!

Photo HDR

Sometime, you have to feel the subject when taking a shot. Angle, lights, composition must balance to get good photo. Using DSLR camera is pretty tricky. Though the camera has set auto format, but as a beginner, using manual (M) is encouraged.

One thing that excites me right now is HDR. Imagine ...you can manipulate photo according to your creativity. Take 3 photos with different exposure. Lets see my tryout. It was taken during mid-day today while waiting for solat dzohor. Will serve you more with fascinating pixs.

My First Attempt To Photo Manupulation

Using Photomatix

Looking those friends in facebook, they have produced damn good photo. Angle, composition etc (still remembering those jargon photography words). Latest, they keep uploading their work - photo manipulation /HRD. ...... so, tried it and see my work as well. Not to bad..huh?

We are doing well

Happy New Year 2010

Year come year goes. Sometime, i feel like it makes no different. You only noticed that your become older by 1 year. Your clans wishing you happy birthday... but the rest of your life continues as usual. Life must goes on. Let the past be a history and move forward to venture another history.

It not too late to wish all Happy New Year, may all happiness and have a prosperous year of 2010

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Lights Off

These were taken yesterday while having for my dinner. Enjoy.

Shooting

I've found this hobby is very interesting but also expensive.

Last weekend i took my tool to shoot all magnificent buildings in KL likes Pertonas KLCC. My mission is to shoot the buildings in night lights. It was on Saturday night, the night where people hang around for dining, clubing etc. The place i went is a favorite spot for nightlife lovers at KL golden triangle, around Jln Pinang, Jalan P. Ramlee, Jalan Bukit Bintang etc. Heavy traffic jam doesnot allow to complete my mission. Maybe some other time.

WakLu FC

This emblem I designed using Ai - C4 for our team - WakLu FC for UMW Futsal Karnival. We took part just for fun. Champion is our secondry matter. We know our strenghts and fitness level. Our team formed from 3 Human Resource staff, 1 Public Affairs, 4 Equipmeent/Engineering staff. We had our 3 days for training with 3 weeks. Supprisingly, result is encouraging. We finished no. 1 for preliminary round and managed going thru for second round. Well, I would say luck is not on our side. We did attackings but did not manage to concede. Goal post become their last defence. Anyway...well done WakLu FC

Ladies In The Row

Team UMW

Basic Rules By Referee

On 7/11/2009, I participated in a futsal tournament organised by Crown Relo - an international movers & logistic called Charity Futsal Tournament. We are not their customer, by the way. But, one the company's employee is a friend of my team player, so he invited us as well. We reached to quarter final. It was okay then, because we did not have our training. The shot taken while I was at bench. Still trying to improve my shutter.
