MC223I can’t wait for it! Another good operating system! Unlike that crap Windows!

The Best day of my whole computing career was when I decided to literally toss out my windows computer out the real window and buy an Apple computer, I have never looked back since! Best use of my money on a computer EVER!

Also, I’m a sucker for snow leopards in general

How to explain DSLR to someone

with 2 comments

Who only got into photography in hopes of taking naked women photos?
WTD782

I remember getting asked a lot, WAY a lot! Usually such people have barely the cognitive function beyond eating, sleeping and breathing. Its rather odd that once such people get a DSLR and they ask you how it works and how to use it, they then try to impress you with what they already know, which is next to nothing. Allow me to list the weird conversations I have had with people of this type.

Some street shots from Penang.

with 3 comments

Even though I’ve moved down to KL for more than a year now, I still find myself going back to Penang to shoot street photography of all things as I did back during the few hours before bon odori 2009.

I guess there is something alluring about Penang that I cannot find in KL. The mystery or classic feel of a town that seems to encompass both new and old on one single island.

Where as in KL it feels like everything is either new or just bloody rundown, infested with sinister elements (no wait, I think that’s Putrajaya and not KL).

Whatever the reason or explanation for my feeling this way about Penang, the fact cannot be denied that Penang is indeed a wonderful place with its secret locations for anyone looking for a photography quest.

Pity though that the Penang government doesn’t seems to know how to capitualized on this especially the fact that they have attained UNESCO status (or trying to hold onto it the last I heard).

I did remember the Penang government hosting a photography competition to showscase the best of Penang sights and beauty but from what I heard and read the terms and conditions of that contest was so photographer unfriendly that many were turned off by it. It literally gave the Penang government absolute ownership of any photos submitted to the contest even the ones that didn’t win.

Happy Birthday you Dork!

with 3 comments

Yes I know it’s rather vain to announce my own Birthday. But heck, it’s been rather slow.

So~~~
“Happy Birthday to me,
Happy Birthday to me,
Happy Birthday to me~~~~~~~,
Happy b-i-r-t-h-d-a-y tooooooo MEEEEEE~~~”
(sounds of glass breaking everywhere)

Oh my god! I’m 30 years old today!
30 years ago from this day a nerd was born!
It was obvious he would craft a great nerd destiny! Afterall, his first words were “boobs” rather than the useless “dada” or “mama”.
Okay I’m lying, it was actually “money!” but anyway, I want to thanks to all my family and friends who SMS me to wish me a Happy Birthday! (And yes Linda, I will take you up on your offer of your nude model session for me tonight, hahahahaahahaahahh)
