Ponders

Hrm, bored. Not having much ideas of what to write here, so here goes more picture spam instead.

Enjoy.








PS: I'm still around. Just, no idea what to write.

The End is Near

Uni's going to kick start again soon, very soon. Haven't been doing much for the past weeks. Owh well. Least my brain has already been kicked into study mode weeks back due to a supplementary paper resit. Pray I'll pass that.


Cloud using Phoenix Down on his ally, while fighting Reno from Shin-Ra.

Been helping out the gangs at Boulevard for the CosVention which was quite successful. Met one KL friend who came back, Uepu.

Wasn't expecting much either since it was a first in East Malaysia, aside from Sabah I guess. Everything was kind of wrong. They were repeating Yui's song to the extend of me getting sick of my own favourite singer@songwriter. Should have a mix. And people singing Chinese song. So much for an Anime/Manga Con. We need more Jrock or Jpop.



Was surprise to see the amount of people who were actually interested in cosplay turned up, aside from the usual gang of people I know of. Think should really stir the interest here. Lots of people are interested in it, aside from people who really poke on it and being a pessimist about it.




One rarely get to see this stuff up close as it is quite a rare sight in Kuching. And not many people know how to get it. Even people come and ask if we were even selling this stuff which was only on display.


Heck, even those older than us were also involve in cosplaying, to the extend of bleaching and dying their hair like this dude here. Kudos to him for doing so.

Owh well. Enough for me.

For those in Kuching, and are interested in this stuff like cosplay and anime/manga related culture, there will be an similar event on the:

tHe Spring Mall
15th August 2009
No idea what time yet.

Sarawak Plaza
16th August 2009
I heard was somewhere in the afternoon.

Shopping malls now are really interested in doing this stuff since it really drag in the crowds. But heck, using it as a promotional tool to get business, we'll use it as an opportunity to spread the culture and awareness to the members of the public, aside from more Chinese songs.....

=\ Enough rants. Best get some shut eye. Ciaos.

Moving

Hello readers,

I am thinking of moving my blog to a new url address as it is more appropriate as I the current name is under Intel's product line. So much for my diehard fan-ness of me.

What is your opinion?

Aside from that. Some more pictures to show you I'm still updating, though not so often. =3 And new watermark for now, as it is less intrusive compared to my previous one. And I like this more.




Haha. Enjoy.

Sunset Panoramic Kuching

Yo, how's everyone. Doubt much people read my blog, cept for looking at the pictures. Anyway, was freed from the clutches of the evil assignments and reports and freedom for a breather for a few days, went out shooting with a few buddies of mine so enjoy the photos.


Sunset. Using it as my wallpaper currently. Grab it if you like it. Just click on the picture. Remember, CC2 licence.

Now, back to studies and revision for finals!

Holiday, here I come.

Tara~

3/4 Dead

Well, life ain't what it used to be. So much ups and downs this time, and also, stuff happened which makes everything feels like one is standing on an ice sheet, never knowing when it will blob or even sink away or worst, give way.

Uni has been on its usual fits of tortures and evilness. This time, was armed and ready, almost.

Crappy shot. Just wanted to show ya'll how I had been doing my work. T_T But its a nice way to work. Less alt-tabbing between browsers, documents and slides.

Aside from that, managed to sneak in some time to shoot something. Feels like somewhat degraded and improved on some part of my skills. =\


I love this shot. Empty but nice.


HDRish in a way, I think... *friend said it looks normal.*


Cute dog.


Another shot I love. Also empty.


Hot chocolate, but not that nice. Tasted better. *Bali~*

Hrm. Okay. Now I'm bored.

I would like to thank a friend who borrowed me to fiddle around with their camera, this time, a Canon 40D. In my opinion, its a good camera. I love the grip compare to Canon's lower offerings (no hard feelings Canoners), and feels pretty solid. Dual it up against the Nikon d80, its a little tad heavier (minus the lens of course). Shutter sounds pretty different too.

Anyway, need to head back to uni again later for a meeting. And tomorrow night, my relatives are coming and I will be in near hell again for CRM final report for my finals.

Argh. Impeccable timing.

Canon 50D anyone? =D

Work, assignment and studies. How would life be without it? With minor assignments going to due soon, pretty much quite contented with what I have been doing, except the part of online discussion which is too damn formal, for what prefer from doing. Formalities should be exercised and used but at times, drop it. Makes things easier.


Doing some sketches for assignment. Talk about drawing. Miss the days when I last drew.

Now, I seriously need to carpool. There aren't enough spaces to go around for the new kids on the block nowadays.

Think my post is a bit weird. Owh well. XD I love life! Seriously.

PS: Notice there isn't a title? I'm out of idea for a title. Least blogger allows that.

Week 1

Week 1 of uni wasn't that bad consider I'm in my final year already.

Met up with quite a few people, rekindle friendship and met even more new people.

Assignment has already hit us hard as I need to submit an idea in another 2 weeks time so been cracking my head for a number of days.

Owh well, looking forward to classes then.


Radioactive Drink

Enjoy~

Another Beginning

Uni has started and wasn't so eventful. Managed to catch up with some old friends who were back and running around attending lectures and classes (wait, on a first week? Oh well.)

Weather was fine before that, then it just poured. Not that I'm complaining but hot weather couple with a crazy rain (Hey, welcome to Kuching) which never lasted for an hour (usually it does) and you get a very humid and wet air.


Bah, rained and stopped. What the... （￣へ￣）

After attending lectures, I reluctantly went home cause lecture was cut short due to a PC-less tutorial class. Besides, the lecturer has already prepared the stuff on slides, so wasted some time talking crap and stuff with the lecturer instead.

Home, this is how the weather was.


Around 30 mins or so later.


There.


The holidays have been fun, minus the boring part of doing nothing for days on end. Entertained myself on animes and music and my NDS games (Chrono Trigger is nice, so is Zelda and FF4 but all is near its end and I didn't want to finish them).

Had a few outings


A few gathering with a bunch of people


Some nice shots


And lovely mother nature doing her thing she's good at


Some boring outings also not to mention


And not so-much-fun Chinese New Year also. Feels like some other day.


Missing KL, or more precisely, Selangor


Drinking with my cousin


And the fun I had with my cousins


What a life.

PS: I noticed I haven't updated my sidebar. Owh well.

Titleless

Well, CNY is here and since I'm quite late, Happy Chinese New Year to those celebrating and happy holidays to those who aren't (well, its already the 3rd day so most of those working are back working already.)

Enjoy the shot I took on the eve's of the Lunar New Year.



=D

Pictures

Been busy, only had a little time of breather for a few hours of snaps before plunking my arse on this chair and stare at the screen doing assignments again. This semester sucks a lot. Datelines are so near to each other, work piling up like crazy, and not much time for entertainment. What rotten luck is this.

Till now, this month I ended up letting my tongue go and spitting our curses here and there. I guess I should hold my tongue more. Owh well, like I say, "No stress, no work."

Anyway, enjoy the pictures.

Lack of Post

Hrm.... Work took pratically 90% of my time, leaving 10% of that for sleep and bit of entertainment during the 1 month holiday.

Now, uni has started, grades were good and finally, back to studying again and getting stress over assignments and also finals.

During the transistion of work and going back to uni, I went for the Sarawak Regatta 2008, and gotten myself soaked as well as enjoying the race from the regatta.

Pictures for you to enjoy.


Trying to overtake.


Sinking boat. "Man Overboard!"


D80 Cameraman

After a few hours, heavy downpour followsuit and the race was held off due to thunderstorm and the boat paddlers all scramble out of the water.


Silver veil


Hrm.

Enjoy.

Message In A Bottle

I wonder who is this for.

Surprise Surprise

Today brought lots of surprises. I got off work early, loitered around work area, and chatted, and went back.

Few hours later, customer called asking for troubleshooting. And I was thinking of lazing around the house and relax for a while, but then, its my job and responsibility as a seller, so I had to go. Pondered to whether to bring the camera or not... Meh, I just grab the camera and headed out.

Checking to what was the problem, apparently the CPU's fan died, or more accurately, the wire got disconnected inside the fan, where it joins the magnet. So, had to get it replace.

Then dropped a set of logitech speaker at my cousin's place as his previous one kaputed, so had it replace with a new unit at a price of course, since his warranty is 2 years overdue.

After that, headed over to Zeraato's place, as I wanted to borrow his costume as a guide for my tailor to make my costume, and I was greeted with a nice surprise.

His dad owns a Porsche, a (930 type) 911 Turbo 3.6! And he offered the chance of letting me having a look at the insides and best of all, the heart of the car, which, was at the car's butt. Still, it's a Porsche.


Look at the wheel arches. So big. Even the disc brakes inside are huge.


Interiors.

Well, I was lucky I brought the cam out. Was planning to take shots of the sky and stars but it turned out I shoot cars instead. XD

Sorry for grainy shots. Had to boost up ISO settings to get the picture, else, no use shooting at all.

Thanks to Zeraato for giving me the privilage to touch a Porsche and his dad for allowing me to have a look. You rock man!

Akiyame Outing

Well, like I said in the previous post, I was invited to join teh Akiyamers for their cosplay outing+gathering+activity+meeting? (Okay, I'm not sure about the meeting though.)

Anyway, reached there near noon and the sunlight was so harsh, I wanted to rob a neutral density filter off someone but no one has it. Owh well, I let the white balance to take care of the job, but not much effective.

So, on with the pictures!


Another nice wallpaper!






Well, another nice wallpaper but....*wrong direction* *should have taken in landscape mode* T_T

*speechless* Though its nice.


300mm focal. Details is still retained. Not bad for a non-VR lens.


Barrel distortion.


Macro!

So, that wraps up the photoshoot from Akiyame at Cat Museum @ DBKU. The weather was burning hot with harsh light. Even with a hood for the lens, I still get stray light, lucky it was reduced with my cap. XD

So, at night, headed over to yen's place to chill a little before heading home and too this.


I love the lighting.

Enjoy.

PS: Akiyame people, I'll pass you the photos to either Eichi or Yen or Kenan during the I've Anime meeting. Hopefully I remember.
