Random Garden Shots

Snapped these photos during my modeling session with Wish. If you wanna see my portrait photos you can go over to her blog for more.


I've actually been here trice for photography session. Everytime with different models. And I still like this setting. My model would sit here and I will be taking from different angle. I've actually got praised for "making her legs long" in one of my session. ^.^;;


It was a sunny day. The weather was very hot. Too bad the trees were shady enough and we always had to run here and there for cover.


Though, looking up the tree you can't see the bright sun. But the sky is all white. This kind of tree don't give much shade do they?


One of my best photo. Glowing white.... name that flower. ^.^;;


Do you think this is a ditch or a small river? Nice clear reflection don't they...?


Trees along the walking pavement beside the lake. As you can see the area was cleanly swept. Kudos for those who maintain this area.


This scene gives you a reminiscence of your childhood time... Ah! I feel like wanna go play!

Noisy and Furious Cars

The Fast & Furious were shown in the cinemas weeks ago. Lucky I get to catch up before the movie being taken down. And this was the photo I snapped when I was inside the movie...



Ops! Not this one... ^.^;; It's this one...



Kitty Cat in the pink car...


It's interesting when you see people spends so much money on their car. Decorating them in all sorts of way.


The only thing that you see people doing things without considering their money, it's their passion.


Passion gives life a meaning.


Passion motivates one to push further, to go the extra miles.


Passion DRIVES people to the extreme.


That's why they said, a man of passion is a crazy man...


Friends can't imagine that I spend so much on my figmas. They don't understand why a big boy like me still play toys. Why do I still watch cartoons..?


But they can accept people spending millions on their photography equipments.


They can accept people spending so much on their clothes.


They can accept people spending so much on FOOD!


They can accept people who spend lots and lots of money on their facial products.


But can't accept me being an Otaku. ^.^;;


They think that they me am immature, at this age still playing toys and watching animes.


But in actual fact, it is them who are immature. They can't accept other people's thought other then their own thinking.


As long as you're not hurting anyone, as long as you're not hurting yourself.


Just live the life you want. Live the passion...


So what's your passion?


Living a life without passion is just like living a life without an aim.


While many thought that their aim in their life is family, do they actually understand this statement...?


Enough crapping. Time to drive.


Snapped these photos in a recent autoshow in my town. These machine are powerful! They can lights up the streets, open a concert and even attracts the CHICKs with their Hello Kitties~!


So you got something to drive? ^.^

The Trishawman

Many had came to Melaka before. Many had not too! Melaka which had co-obtained World Heritage Status with Penang in the not-so-long-ago had been flooded by tourists from all over the world. So do you know what's famous in Melaka? Today I'm gonna introduce you to one of our local "delicacies".


I still remember the last time I ride a trishaw was when I was very small that time. I rode with my mum to get over a few blocks and it just cost us like 30sens? But now, to sit on it, you would need to fork out RM5 per seat! No thanks to the commercialized tourist industry. But we also must forgive them right, because they also need to feed a family.

Here's this guy is trying to go further. He's going to ride his Beca to connect both the Unesco-acknowledged historical cities to raise money for charity purposes. The trip will take him about 3 hours making a number of pitstops on the way. This is a historical event as this is the fastest land journey ever planned. A car would usually take about 8 hours to reach Penang from Melaka, a train would also only able to complete such journey 2 hours earlier. However, Frankie is going to complete it less than a quarter of the time! The secret?


He's using this big Thrisaw!!!

Disclaimer:
This post is meant for humour. However the actual event is going to be held on the 6th of June. Do support the event for charity purpose and visit http://www.thetrishawman.com/ for more info. ^.^

Dynasty Bread & Snack

Recently friend had been keep on asking me out for a drink at night. We've been trying quite a number of coffee house around town. Might be sharing some experience dining in of and on. As of now, I'm just going to talk about some snacks I had in during my "Talk Kok" session in Dynasty.


Since that time I just had my dinner not long but my mouth is still itchy and scratching won't works, I decided to ordered a margarine toast bread worth RM0.50. The margarine was rich enough and the bread was soft. Did I say soft?! I thought I ordered a toasted bread? Yeah, the bread wasn't toasted enough.

In no time, I finished it. After some chat, my mouth felt itchy again, so I ordered another toast bread. This time, I specifically ordered it to be toasted more. What i expect it was it would be alittle bit brown in the bottom part. Instead....


...it turned out to be the same. =.=" I remember last time when I was in my uncle's place where they use the old school method, toast the bread with charcoal to golden brown. Then after that swipe with a layer of kaya and sugared margarine. I really love them at that time.


But this time, I'm eating my bread with assorted egg. Assorted not as in chicken egg + duck egg + ostrich egg. But, assorted as in there's ham, hotdog, onions and garlic inside. Everything was put into the egg, beaten and fried on a hot plate. It tasted good!


My friend ordered a plate of western food. It came with 2 slice of orange, mayonased salad, some frieds and its main course, grilled chicken? The plate was litter ally too big which makes the food so unsorted/undecorated.


But according to my friend, it's good. The price came up not too expensive too.


I ordered a Cold Lychee White Fungus for desert. The pot/mug/container came on top of a plate filled with ice. It seems that they put the pot on the glass plate first before filling it up with water. After that they let it freeze. When customer like me ordered, they would then only take it out, pour in the fruits drink and serves.

I don't actually like to drink or eat this way because when you top up your plates to eat, they say that you're topping up your debts. And it seems like I've been in debts way long.... But since this kind of serving is quite different from your normal food, I guess I will just let it go and just enjoy the dessert.


Inside, there's too many white fungus. They were generous in that but stingy in their lychee. I only got 2. I finish the fungus and the water first before I took the lychees. It was cooling though, and it's not that sweet.


While eating and chatting, I also took out my LX3 to shoot of course. Was playing with the aperture priority mode again. Since it was at night and the lightings weren't bright enough. Decided to "buka lubang besar besar" to shoot~ *grin*


The panda is cute! Half submerged in the ice. Will he turn from a panda bear become a pollar bear? ^.^" I wonder where did the owner got this kind of pot. In fact, most of the dining plates that they serve are very unique and looks very authentic.


After taking the food and shooting, I only realized that I had not taken any picture of the interior. But at that time, we were about to leave. Maybe will come over and take again some other time. Overall the food's good and the price is reasonable.

My Manager Had Resigned!

6 days after his resignation, I'm blogging about my manager. Yes, my manager had left after more then a decade working in Deloitte, he decided he has enough of here and left.



Truthfully, I know very little about my boss. The first time I met him was during the time I'm applying for a job in here, Deloitte Melaka. He's the one who had interviewed me and recruited me. It wasn't a smooth interview though but in the end all ends well.



After the interview, I seldom see him again. Yes I do see him, but it's just that we seldom spoke to each other anymore. ^.^;; He was always busying in his room, and I on the other hand, got alot of things to learn and do as well. Only occassionally, we bump into each others in the men's room. Not much of words though.



1 month before his resignation, I receive three queries from my friends and relative asking where is he going? I just shrug. Seriosly till now, I only know that he's just going to a medium firm as a audit manager there. The rest I'm not sure.



But just imagine, although I've known this news for quite some time, it's amazing that people are coming to me and question about my boss resignation when I haven't even tell them anything. This proves that my boss's network is really wide.



Apart from that, he's a great father. He has a daughter so playful and cute that he always played with her whenever they are together. It's a pity that I don't have a good camera to capture those lovely moments. If not I might win some prizes if I submit it to some photography competitions. ^.^



After spending 4 months in the company, I resembled one of my ex-boss during my training times. Usually isolated in their room, busying with their own stuffs. But will generously offer their help when asked. Looks so high up in status, but is always friendly.



Lastly, I wish that all the best in his future undertakings and enjoy his work in his next job. Good Luck Jerry.



Photos are taken during the farewell dinners for our boss. Had ikan bakar in Muara Sg Duyong. Food there was like the usual malay cookings. But super expensive. They don't give discounts. A lot of big shots people for their dinners, celebrations, etc.



As you can see the photos above all have smiling face on it. However it din't last long when the bill came to RM700++ for a meal of 22. It would come to about the same if we were having our meal in a restaurant. Learnt the lesson. ^.^;;
