My Water Moments

'Photography is my life'
Oh yes it is, some of you may be wondering, 'What makes this guy so interested in photography?'

My motive behind this hobby is, photography gives me the ability to FREEZE the best moments in my life. 

Alright, let's get straight to the story,


My previous camera decided to 'mati lemas' after it fell into a pool of water in a cave at Taman Negara Pahang.
It pretty much screwed up the entire trip for me. 


Before going to the trip, I was so excited. I even prepared 16 AA batteries and  3 memory cards totaling to 16GB worth of data. 
I was looking forward to capturing all those quality moments but my dream shattered when my camera fail to turn on after a few hours at Taman Negara.


I had those miserable time, depending on my friend's camera to capture all those great activities we had. 
Until now, I don't even have those photos in my computer. 


If only I had the latest Sony TX-5, it would have been a great trip for me !


High-end Hardware


The new TX5 , comes together with the " Exmor R" CMOS sensor, BIONZ processor and Carl Zeiss®  lens.
All these hardwares are only available on the high end Sony DSLR ! It would be great to have the TX5 because I can take high quality images with it any time, any where and in any situation especially when there's water.


Capture the perfect Twilight shots


With Handheld Twilight mode, your images boast 50% less noise because the high sensitivity “Exmor R” CMOS sensor coupled with BIONZ imaging processor allows the camera to superimpose six visual frames to create a single optimised image.


My pathetic old camera would had just take the easy path when in low light, boosting the ISO to 1600, which in return produces the worst images I had ever seen ! All noise ! 
The TX5 truly delivers whatever I need in a compact body. 


All-proof camera
The compact and durable Cyber-shot TX5 gives me the photographic power whenever, wherever





Water-proof
Dive in with the water-proof Cyber-shot TX5. Capture beautiful underwater shots up to 3m deep for up to 60 minutes*.


Temperature-proof
Keep on shooting even below freezing point up to –10ÂșC** with this tough camera in harsh weather conditions.


Dust-proof
With the superb dust-resistance of the Cyber-shot TX5, you can be assured to always get spotless images whatever the environment is!

Shock-proof
The shock-proof design of the Cyber-shot TX5 allows drops of up to a height of 1.5m*, the usual height we hold the camera for photo-taking.

The cause of my last camera's death is water ! Yeah, now, I am hydrophobic. Whenever there's water, I wouldn't dare to bring my camera close...
With the TX 5, I need not to worry all these situation. Who cares if there's water or even snow, just snap the perfect moment without any hesitation !



Sweep Panorama



The TX 5 also features a function known as sweep panorama. Just like it's name, I just have to sweep the camera across a scene to capture it.
It's an intelligent and useful features available only on the Sony HX and TX series.

With this, I do not need to wastew so much time snapping a few pictures and stitching them using Adobe Photoshop.
Everything could have been done in a single click.


Clear and sharp images in low-light environment



Low light is the number one enemy of all photographer. It will spoil everything even the best moments.
Anti-motion Blur mode uses six superimposed frames to create one single optimised image with 50% less noise. This means you are able to shoot with high ISO settings in low-light environments, reducing noise and subject blur, giving you clear and sharp images.

10 photos in 1 second


10 fps is a dream for all photographers, especially those who are involved in high speed activities.
 TX 5 
capture fast actions or a moving subject in a sequence of 10 continuous frames per second. This sequence of continuous shots are also grouped to simplify playback as the camera analyses each group in order to locate and display the best shot automatically.

720p Video Recording
This is certainly an important feature not to miss. The Sony TX5 is capable of recording videos up to resolution of 1280 x 720.
I could have used it to record all the laughters and joy we had while we were " Rapid Shooting" at Taman Negara.
If you have no idea what's Rapid Shooting, here's a photo of it.






The potential of Sony TX5 truly shines here !
 

That's all on my water moments where my camera finally left me..
I need a new all -proof digital camera which can easily slip into my pocket and is ready to capture high quality photos in any situation .

Thanks !

Rachel Liang Wen Yin Promo Tour in Melaka

Sorry for not updating for such a long long time...

All right, here's what happened on my Sunday.
I went to Dataran Pahlawan because I heard there's an Taiwan artist coming. Well, I don't really know her name until I reached there.. Haha

I reached at about 2.30 p.m and saw there was a crowd. There's some model promoting cosmetics I guessed. Anyway, I took the opportunity to snapped some photos.



Left the place at 3pm and headed straight to Dataran Pahlwan's stage. There's so many people there..
Met with Vicky and she gave me a VIP pass, but those 'VIP' have to sit on the floor. 

I had no choice but to give up on the pass and went around looking for a spot so that I can get great photos.
finally, I joined the group of photographers ( one with a big tripod) and all long long lens. 

Waited there for like, more than an hour. It really sucks lolz especially when you're carrying a huge backpack and a large and heavy camera on your neck. Suffering from backache now...

Rachel Liang Wen Yin arrived on 4 something I supposed. As soon as she stepped out, everyone started shouting. 
All photographer was snapping her photographs in burst mode. Even I did the same. 
The worse thing is, I filled up my memory card in 10 minutes and I need to changed into a new card. =.=

I never really enjoyed the songs she sang because I was too busy snapping her photograph. But I must admit, she's good... 

Here's the pictures taken:







Soon it was the autograph session. I saw one photographer went up onto the stage to get a close view of Rachel ! Lolz... 
Quickly, I followed him and sneaked through the guard... 

There's only 2 of us at first. but after that, more and more photrographer joined until the organiser asked , 
' Are you guys reporter?'

Apparently, there's no reporter around us and every photographer was chased down the stage. Haha...
Btw, here's a few snaps before I got down : 



It was my first time covering this type of event. All I could say is it's a good experience. 
Thanks for reading and enjoy yourselves !

I regretted my actions

I don't know if it's already too late to say this but it's better than never.
But I really regret what I did on Sunday...

If it's not because of my jealousy, all this things wont happen.
If it's not because of I can't control my anger, we will be talking as usual.

I know I hurt you for saying those words. Even though you did say that you had forgive me,
I know deep inside, you still care bout it.

I wish I could take back my words now...I really do...
I wish that nothing had happened before...
I am so sorry ! Sorry sorry sorry.......

It's the second schooling term

The first term holiday had over.
Now it's the second term of schooling, which means I got only 7 months left till SPM.

Besides, the results of the first test were already released.
Well, I scored pretty badly... Badly as in my result dropped from my average level. I did not revise for this time test, especially moral and chemistry. I think I could have done better.
I guess I need to stop playing around and start buckle up in my studies.
Recently, I  became more playful and concentrate less in class. It's time to be a good boy :).


I went to school today.
The reason? To receive my award for getting 2nd in the whole form last year. Sweet...It's my first time in this new school.


Gotta go now. Last but not least, please visit my forum by clicking at the sidebar image on the right side of the screen.
Hope you'll become a member.

My baby is back...and it's 'bigger' now !

After two weeks, I finally got back my DSLR...
So damn freaking long...
I really miss my DSLR so so much...

Alright, so in the 2 weeks without DSLR, I ordered many accessories.

I am using Mac OS X

Look at the screenshot...

Mac OS X

Pretty cool huh?

Well, you are being rickrolled...
I don't even have the money to buy a genuine copy of Windows...
How can I buy a Mac? Lolz...

After Windows disappoint me for detecting that I am not using a genuine copy...
I made my mind to change to Linux Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Kaola)
This version of Ubuntu is somehow different from the previous version I had used before.
I don't know where are the differences but it is different..Lolz..

Check the changelog if you wanna know in details...
I followed a step by step guide to transform my Ubuntu into Mac OS X...
Even the icons also change already...
The 'X', 'minimise' and 'maximise' had changed to the left hand side...
Really need to get used to this new theme...

For those who are adventurous (like me), you can try googling the guide.
But don't screw up your system ya... I reformatted my computer once because of this.

First 3 Subjects Down...

End of Day 1...
Today's papers are Bahasa Melayu, Sejarah and Bahasa Inggeris.

Well, at least the papers are not as hard as I had expected.
The Sejarah and Literature notes that I had read paid off...

Most of the questions came out.
Of course, I wont say that I will score high this time, but I have the confidence.

Supposely, I wont be sitting for test tomorrow.
Because I was one of the participants for the dont-know-what Kuiz Pedagangan.
So, I did not revise my Biology and Chemistry.

Mana tau, Xin Ying called me on Saturday and told me that the competition is postponed.
WTF man...That means I need to sit for the papers tomorrow and I din even revise!

Die la this time...

P/S: Vicky scare to sit outside alone when Mr Tam rearrange our seats She don't want to be Teh Tarik Tiga Lapis... Lolz

Exam heat is coming

Gosh, I can feel the heat of exam...
There's a test next week.

And damn, I didn't finish revising.
I don't even know what to read on...

This week seems to be a leisure week for all.
We got the rehearsal for Sports Day on Monday and Tuesday.
Then on Wednesday, everyone is busy with the decorations and no one enter class.

On Thursday, it's Sports Day.
Blue house got first... And Yellow House got last =.=

I shouldn't had went to school today. Got nothing to do at all.
Half of the class is not present...
And, I got no one to talk with...Arh!!! Hang around doing nothing...

Luckily school dismiss at 11.20a.m.
Mr Khoo came from SMK Bukit Baru to give me Add Maths work...
Lolz... Actually, he came to collect his pictures from me and at the same time, we had a short chat.

That's all for now. Gonna go tuition later.
I am so tired~~~

I am back!

Finally, after two excruciating weeks...
I am so busy for the past 10 days that I cant even afford to spend some time blogging.

Went to Alvin's house last Saturday.
What's more? Of course got gamble la....

My profit of 4 hours of gambling (including 3 hours of becoming banker) is err...
RM 25...

After the party, Alvin, Viknesh, Kasyfi, Matt Yap and I went to a nearby Malay shop for supper.
Damn, I was asked to treat them on drinks..

So, RM 25- RM 8.50
My net profit is only RM 16.50 =.=

Without realising, it's already March.
One more week left until my first test.
I didn't even revise anything.. Hope I'll be able to score pretty well...

And, I miss my DSLR...
I sent it for warranty after CNY...
The LCD panel came off a little, it might not be a serious problem.
But better get it fixed before it become worse.

Without the camera, I am gonna miss the whole Sports Day which is on 4th of March.
Anyway, who really cares ?
I offered my help to the school to snap photos during important events but my service was neglected!
WTF , I swear to God I wont be the OP for events in the school anymore unless they pay me!

Thanks for reading. I think I'll be even more busy after this... Bye!

P/S : Dont forget to click the ads ya...help me..^ ^

No Gambling = Not CNY

Hi guys, I know it's kinda late to post about CNY.
Well, I had been so busy this week...
I have few hundreds of photos to managed =.=

Of course during CNY, the important thing besides collecting ang pao is gambling!
Most house I visit, there's people gambling...

On the first day, I lost RM 9... damn...


On the second day, I lost RM 30


On the third day, I won RM 20


and on the fourth day, I won RM 15...


Haha...I bet most of you made 'profit' too...
I need to stop my gambling streak...or else, sure lose more..
This year my luck is not that good...

Sony SAL 75-300, my new lens

Say hi to the latest member of my DSLR family,
The Sony SAL 75-300mm...

I was half awake this morning, expecting something to arrive.
At about 10.15 a.m, I heard lorry sound and honk.

Immediately I jumped up of my bed and ran downstairs...
Woohoo, my package had arrived !!!
Without wasting time, I try it on my A230...
I almost forgot bout the lens hood, luckily I didn't throw it away with the news paper.

Test shot at 230mm :


Now my camera is damn heavy... It hurts when I hang it around my neck.
I guess it's time to save up for a Neoprene strap...

Help ! Wild Boar chasing me!

Yes, you got it right bout that.
I went for supper with my friends after tuition yesterday. 

Soon, one by one leaving cos their parents are here.
Left me, Jameson, Naethan, Sharveen and Jared the wild boar.
Sharveen ~~ * he looks like Hindustan actor *

Jameson And Me

Most of us don't like Jared because he is so ' kuai lan' .
So, we plan to dump him instead of letting him following our group. 

We fake that we wanna go to a nearby snooker centre. 
When we reach the entrance, Jared stopped to tie his shoe lace. 

It's our chance ! Run ! 
All 4 of us run like mad. 
The wild boar keep on shout ' Wait Wait !  Why are u guys running ? '

At the same time, he was chasing us. WTF 
He's more than 0.1 tonne and is damn freaking fat .
Serve him right for being kuai lan at us. 

We ran around Bukit Beruang for a few times .
If you are there at about 10.15 pm yesterday, maybe you guys will notice us running.

I hope we can do this one more time. 
Making fun of that wild boar is certainly fun !

P/S : This is Shashi's Mango + Susu ... Looks gross to me..

Ba Gua Auntie

I didn't go to school today because I wait for my Nuffnang cheque to arrive.
Lolz, just joking...

There's Sukan Tara at my school, so basically we are not studying in class.
That's why I didn't go.

I followed my parents to Melaka town today.
We went to buy Ba Gua...

The person selling it is our old neighbour.
So, I asked for permission to snap some picture...

* Auntie, let me snap your photo can?*
* Don't paiseh paiseh larr... *
*Wait I help you promote your Ba Gua on Internet * 

After I took a few shots, she keep on say, try the Ba Gua... and start cutting the samples for us to try...
Lolz, before I took the photo, she didn't say that..

Anyway, talking bout Ba Gua makes me think of the movie ' I Not Stupid '..
Wanna dig up my VCD collection to watch it and have some laughter.

Good night!

She's selfish

I regret knowing her.
She's just too selfish in everything.
She is nothing different from her bunch of Keh Seng's friends.

We knew each other for a year already...
I even fell in love with her.
Anyway, her selfishness which I just realise after that is such a turn off to me.

I am tired of denying this fact of her.
I think I'll better stay away from her from now on.

And my dad, ever since I planned to buy a DSLR until the time I got it,
he had been scolding me for no reason.
Picking up on me over small issues.

Sometimes, I just wanna stay back at school.
Going home late means less encounter with him.
I am not in the mood for arguments.
Moreover, Chinese New Year is around the corner.

I am feeling really down now.
Thanks for reading...

My First Nuffnang Cheque Arrived!

After waiting for 2 months, it's finally here !


It took me quite long to earn this sum of money...
Well, it's my first cheque after all...  Or maybe my AngPao from Nuffnang.
Haha...

However, my Nuffnang earnings increase super slow recently...
The average increment is only RM 1 for every week. That's too slow...

Previously, I can earn like, RM 12 per week...
Any ideas? Gosh...this really kills me...

My friend which starts later than me already cash out for the 2nd time!
Hopefully my Nuffnang earnings will increase faster...
At least it's some sort of motivation for me to keep blogging.. ^ ^

Last but not least,
I would like to thank all my visitors and nang-ers...
I wish all of you will visit my blogs often.

Happy Prosperous New Year !

Jusco AEON Melaka

Jusco AEON Melaka opened on 5th February 2010.
Yesterday, I paid that place a visit. 
Well, not once... Twice...


I went there after tuition in the afternoon and one more time at night with my parents. 
My plan is to take photo of anything nice. 

The place is very big...
The third floor is the place that I love the most. 
There's handphone, camera and computer shop. 
There's also a Sony Centre to test all the new product. 

Other's just normal larr... 
Most of the things there are overprice. Especially camera stuff. 
One screen protector that cost less than RM 10 in the market is sold at RM 68 there.

And what the hack, they can reduce the price from RM 80 to RM 20...
Seriously high mark up...

Before the opening, I heard there is an ice rink, same like the one in Sunway Pyramid.
It disappoints me when the news is just rumours... I really hope there's ice skating in Melaka.

Anyway, it's still a nice place to hang out. 
It's just too crowded for now. Maybe it'll be more ideal next time...

By the way, I have a new photo blog for my DSLR shots, My Humble Gallery
Please visit ya... Thanks!

Mei Juan's Birthday

03. 02. 2010
It's Mei Juan's birthday today!
Happy Birthday MJ~~~

I just bought my camera yesterday.
And guess what?
I bring it to skool the next day..

Tristan brings his DSLR too...
Both of us snapped alot of photos, especially the birthday girl..
Here's when the scene reaches its climax :


At 1 p.m., I left school to go MMU to visit the Japanese Fair.
It's a waste of time actually.
The so called fair have only 4 stalls selling Japanese food and a few exhibits only.
Anyway, thanks to Leon for carrying my camera bag...


I skip house practice today because I am too tired to continue running or throwing stuff.

That's all for now...
P/S: I am so addicted to photography now

I am now an Alpharian, not an EOS-dy

My dream of having a DSLR came true! 
I had been looking for a DSLR for some time...

At first, I thought of buying a second hand Canon EOS 350D...
But finally, I changed my mind... 

I am lured into the orange legion...I am now an Alpharian...
Bought a Sony A230 with kit-lens today...


Don't get yourself wrong... the photo is taken with my good and loyal Fujifilm Z30... 
Haha... 

Here's the camera.


With this camera, things are going to change. 
I will be more free into snapping photos...

Imagine you go PC Fair with a PnS camera, those booth babes won't even look at you. 
But if you go there with DSLR and big lenses. You'll be a magnet... (well, there's what I think ) 

Still got a lot more to learn and explore. Now playing with the settings... Exposure, Shutter speed, Aperture... 

Last but not least, 
here's the Alpha lens cap..

Happy B'day to Mr Yau !

Happy Birthday Sir! Though it's already over, better be late than never...
Hope you are always happy while teaching Chemistry...

I actually got no idea of what is going on...
On Thursday, Glenn asked me if I want to share to buy cake for Mr Yau.

I am cool with it.
So, during Mr Yau's Chemistry tuition, some of us went early to plan how to give him a suprise.

Our plan worked well !
We enter the class as usual, while two girls came in late.
Then, they tell Mr Yau that they don't know how to lock the door and ask him to go downstairs.

After he went down, all of us left the room and followed him.


It was then we sang the birthday songs to him.
We sang in three languages, English, Chinese and Malay. 1 MALAYSIA spirit !

The cake is from Secret Recipe, Chocolate Indulgence...
Taste superb...

Neither of us have the skill of cutting cake.
Jameson and Sharveen almost ruin the whole cake.
See the photo and you'll know what I mean

While cutting the cake, Sharveen was shuffling. =.=
Cant believe he actually do that...


Then, each of us went to take photo with him . Lolz...
Macam Perdana Menteri only...

Last but not least, we took a group photo. Form 5 Chemistry class of Year 2010...
If you are thinking what is the content of the card, view below... ^^

Well, I cashed it out to my Maybank account on last Friday night( 22 Jan).
