Return to normality with a twist.
I’m finally back from Cyprus. It was rather uneventful since it was only a week long training. I barely shot off 3 rolls of film and didn’t go anywhere this time.
I’ll upload the photos tonight (the ones I took digitally) which reminds me, I need to look into getting an iPad to compact flash connection to avoid the same problem of forgetting the USB to mini USB cable.
I’ve got heaps of things to work on before the end of the year and the fact I have to take all my annual leave before 2012 since I can’t carry over it means I have even less time it finish all my work as a result.
On the bright side while I was away a certain package arrived from Tokyo and I have a nice long holiday week coming up so I’ll be using the time to catchup on some figure reviews as well as my new project.
Super GT 2011 Sepang
While this year’s Super GT has improved in certain areas when compared to previous years but sadly since 2009, the race queen palate leaves something to be desire. Ever since 2009, we have been seeing a decline in the number that are sent as well as the quality of the outfits that were tremendously toned-down to comply with Malaysia’s “moral laws” (more on that later). In years before 2009, we could always expect to find beautiful diamond every time but after that, we find an occasional polished diamond or so such as Noa or Yuuna. Now it seems we can’t even find a diamond. (more…)
Fujichrome Trebi 100c
I don’t know what to make of this film, it doesn’t seem like any of the other film though I have read reviews saying it’s like sensia 2 (I never tried that so I can’t comment on it). The colors so far are soft and not very strong, while the contrast is is above average. Sharpness is very good while grain is really fine! I’m not kidding when I say they are fine! But what I like about is that it’s slide and I always prefer slide over negative film any day!
Here are some of the shots I’ve been meaning to upload for a while now. (more…)
Comic Fiesta 2010 (Cosplay report)
While Danny Choo was nowhere to be seen (except for his doppleganger Wisemen) we do have Mirai here.
Sadly, this will just be a cosplay report of this year’s Comic Fiesta 2010 at Berjaya Time Square (ballroom at the 14th floor) since I didn’t think of bringing a wide angle lens. Instead I just stuck with prime lenses.
A mistake I sorely regret since the event was surprisingly much better than I had anticipated when compared to other anime conventions I had been to around West Malaysia (hint, not low-keyed)
Kuala Lumpur International Motor Show 2010 Day 3!
rNope, that title is not a mistype. This article is for the third day of KLIMS 2010 which was a Sunday. Though this time the number of models were a lot more than Friday. Sadly nothing else has improved especially for the batmobile and bumblebee where a lot of people were cursing at the crap imitation.
A word of advice to people planning to go to this events. This is NOT family event! Please don’t bring:
1. Your grandmother or any member of your family using a walker.
2. Your grandfather or any member of your family using a wheelchair
3. Your 2 hour old baby child right from the bloody hospital along with your wife who just gave birth.
4. Children below the age of 14.
For crap sakes! If you still insist on bringing them along then leave the DSLR or camera behind because you cannot take photos while looking over your family.
Don’t delude yourselves and think that you can. You will lose something when you try. Either a chance at getting a good shot or worse, losing your child.
We saw numerous incidents at that day alone where children or old folks separated from their families because Daddy was too busy chasing after models.
Get either a babysitter or have your spouse look after your family while you come out and enjoy or something but DON’T bring them all together! The event is as crowded as it is already.
I could understand if it was a teenager son who isn’t an idiot. Or the father who is actually fitter than yourself. But why oh why do Malaysians want to bring everyone to an event clearly not family oriented?
Kuala Lumpur International Motor Show 2010 Day 1!
The Yellow Camero! AKA BUMBLEBEE! Sadly the 1:1 scale robot there was piss poor when compared to the car. If anyone is going to see the transformer robot version, be prepare to be VERY disappointed. You're better off just admiring the car instead.
Happy Halloween 2010!!
Its that time of the year where the ghouls and fiends come out to play.
Where witches chant and brew with whatever they find and need.
KL photography festival 2010
For those of you who are wondering there will be a photography festival at Mid-valley starting today(29th October) till Sunday (31th October).
Bored at work.
I know I only started working at my new job but already they have nothing for me to work on. I mean I managed to complete my previous program in time for testing and all but already after that they seem to have nothing else to give me except more boring reading.
“Here read up on something regarding memory debuggers”. They tell me.
“Valgrind.” Was my reply, best memory debugger I’ve seen so far and its Open Source. “If you don’t like that, then use mpatrol but be warned it requires we insert special codes throughout the program while Valgrind doesn’t and works with debugger information instead.”
and what was their reply? “Research memory debugger nonetheless….”
Aside from that they also want me to look at some codes regarding IPC made by their China branch. Which sadly has no documentation nor comments and the function names are no better. What’s worse I only have the header files and compiled library, in short I’m flying blind here………. >_<
I’m so bored…..no actual coding work to do……only reading source codes……..
I’m still alive~~
I seem to get into this very often...
So what have I’ve been up to lately? Well getting my life in order I guess. The reason why I haven’t been posting much lately was because my whole group was retrenched, right after Super GT (At least I managed to use the company’s T1 line to upload all my photos before they made the group redundant).
Hence my lack of posts, though that’s not to say I was inactive. I did go to Bon Odori 2010 just to relax and forget my worries for a while.
It’s funny, 2 years in this company and I get retrenched again. Damn just my luck. At least they gave quite a nice severance package (a few months even though I only worked for 2 years) as compared to my last employer who basically didn’t give shit but what do you expect from an MNC operating in a free-trade zone?
Super GT 2010 At Sepang Malaysia Day 1
"Red Ribbon" this photos was literally asking to black and white but I left the ribbon in color for the emphasis on it.
Finally managed to upload Saturday’s photos. Although this year’s Super GT Japanese Racequeen line up were not as impressive as previous years but there were notable ones and even the local ones were pretty impressive.
So please enjoy!
I’m Back from Super GT 2010 Sepang~~~
This was the waiting line for the pitwalk on Sunday with Christ and I at the front of the line....We've been waiting under the hot sun for HOURS!! More photos to come later!!!!
Super GT 2010 at Sepang!
By the time you read this, I would be with my homies at Sepang getting reading for Super GT 2010!
So communication will be limited to cellphones only. I’ll be back on Sunday
While I’ll see the rest of you guys later in the pitwalk~~~~!
Keep those batteries ready and the sunblock plenty!
Happy new year 2010!
Okay I know this is rather late but I have a good reason! I was too busy recovering from a huge hangover after a new year drinking binge to update my blog. No wait, I’m lying. The real reason why I haven’t updated was because I was too damn lazy! (more…)
Joannabelle Ng Li Vun
Today’s photo session was once again brought to you by Rog! A model session he setup last weekend.
Initially I had my doubt about joining this model shoot as it seemed that all my model shoots were not yielding any good shots at all or rather they felt sub-par to what I could have achieved.
Leng Yein and the encounter with 35mm film
Welcome ladies and gents ( I expect only Gents though, rarely have any ladies here). I just uploaded some new shots from a model shoot I participated last weekend thank again to Cruizer176!
Once again the model is the ever so sexy Leng Yein which some of you may rememeber from my previous model session with her.
Though this time I decide I should try and give myself a challange for this model shoot in order to improve my skill and force me to think before I take a shot. I would only shoot film and only used digital if I couldn’t get the bloody correct exposure due to limited high ISO film or if I had ran out of film (only brought 5 folls that weekend).
The phone wouldn’t stop ringing last night
Ever have one of those surreal events happen to you? Where too many coincidences happen at once triggering a long chain of events? Well I had one of those word stinking events, it all began innocently enough…………..
Daicon 2009 Day 1
The main grand hall of the multimedia university, its not the Tokyo Big Sight at Ariaka but big nonetheless.
Super GT girls! (Local and Japanese!) Part 1!
As promised, here are the ladies! Though a fair bit of warning first, due to the world wide economic downturn it would seem that everyone is cutting cost.
A brief run through of Sepang Super GT 2009
Saturday 20th 2009
We departed the hotel and quickly made our way to Sepang in the wee early hours of Saturday so we could get into the pitwalk at 8am.
I have returned from Super GT 2009!
I had a good time! Details soon!!!
This weekend……
I’ll be in Penang as the Super GT roadshow will be at autocity for one more show before the big race next weekend. Although my main purpose there is to clean out my apartment as there still a lot of stuff there which I could use some of it down here in KL.
I’ll be driving down Sunday night as I have an MCTS exam on Monday morning. -_-;; not one of my ideas on how to start off a Monday morning.
