Another outing during the holiday :D This time, I went to something more interesting, Broga Hill! I always wanted to come here after I saw the pictures shot my friend and her boyfriend long time ago. Woot! Finally I got the chance to go with them again :D Well she's a very very, kinda old friend of mine since primary, yeah I'ma say, oldest one la haha! Oh we also ate Kajang satay after the hike :)
We take off around 4am in the morning, didn't really sleep that night, too desperate for the hike I guess :P Took us about 1 hour to reach Semenyih, which Broga Hill are located, it's near Negeri Sembilan border too. Roughly about 30minutes, we arrived at the first lookout point. Hiking Broga is not that hard actually, it's really dark there during the hike, you can't pass without a torch light and you might slip few times though. Mosquito too are a lot but luckily I'm not their food :P Not even 6am, you some people are already on top of the hill.
Night view are beautiful, cool and windy~
When sunrise arrived the scenery are really breathtaking :D But sadly I can't get a good shot that day due to the clouds blocking the sunrise :(
So, here's some lalangs I captured that day, only lalangs :P
So end of Semester 1 eh? Just a short 2 weeks lol and I'm writing this post after errrr, for like more than a month? LOL! No la, actually just giving my blog a nap :P Anyway, I'll make it short since I'm kinda lazy to write the whole journey for this one.. Picture tell a gazillion word, am I right?
First destination, Seremban, heard of it? One of the town in Negeri Sembilan where locals sell "burning buns" to burn people tongue to make their livings. But honestly it's delicious. Next stop, Seremban's big big pasar pagi. This is where chicks sacrifice their body for us, probably, they are virgin where you can see bloody river, sadly I see no, how come & I don't see any cock had their cock-head cut off? Zh you liar. On top of this pasar, is food court or more likely, uncle auntie grandpa grandma heaven! They lepak here gossip this and that, one of the evidence for why Serembanians, are(kinda) gossipers! So born gossip peeps!! Nah, joking la LOL! We went to eat the famous "牛奶粉". REALLY delicious! :D
We head off to Malacca after that. We arrive at the Zoo Malacca, is it? I don't remember, but I guess so, there's only 1 zoo in Malacca right? o.o This place is, ugh, terrible.. Few animals to see, animals look half dead, dirty, smelly, awful, dry leaves branches, bla bla bla... it's very sucks compare to before, anyway I manage to get 1 or 2 nice shots there, just few LOL. Makes me feel like going to Singapore Jurong Birdpark though XD
There's only 1 equation for Malacca, Malacca = food + food! Heaven! Hainanese Chicken Rice, capitol satay, baba laksa, CENDOL! + etc etc etc! Damn syok!!!
Rest for a night at Malacca. Next we went to Batu Pahat, which is Hoyi's hometown at Johor. This place is really, er, nothing to do lol, seriously. But some places in Batu Pahat I like though. The cinema here is cool! The design look & feels like 70's, damn like it :D not to mention Hoyi's house too :X
Batu Pahat is famous for it's temple I guess, I've seen around 5 temple here lol, might be a lot more than this haha. One of the temple located near the beach, where people, local or even tourists will come here just for 1 reason, 摸巨龙! Yeah, it's a really really big fish. here, swarms of crazy Aunties are everywhere, most likely gamble kakis. Rumors said that if you're lucky, you might touch the big fish, and if you do, you will kena lottery bla bla bla. Yeah right, if it is true there'll be tons of few hundreds stories high sky-scrappers here. Oh by the way, I'm lucky, I'd touched it, and guess what? I wet my hands. This temple also famous for it's LMFreakingAO's 情人桥! LOL! I really don't know how this bridge got its name though, but seriously it is funny HAHAHAHAHAHAAA!
情人桥!
Final paper is over. Time to relax for the SHORT 2 weeks. Well, just 2 weeks, that's it. When the results are out, we'll see..
SO
Any plans of going anywhere?
Plan to do lots of photo snapping! Who wants to accompany me? :D
OR..
Any other ideas? Hmm..
There's
something surging through.
It passed,
but
Thinking deeply,
imagination strikes.
Everything that said before, are forgotten
denying it, in case it happens to remember.
Attracted to seductions?
Probably
No
is definitely.
In case you don't know, guess anything while you can
I woke up early in the morning around 5am, no reason why, while other haven't sleep
3 subject is over, left only 1 last examination right now. So far so bad, except for Computer environment. Probably going to fail the language subject lol. Anyway, last exam is Scripting Language, don't have a clue bout it. Time to memorize now.
Me and Chris heard bout this place, Bagan Lalang, on the radio during our way back to Cyberjaya, where they mention it's a 世外桃源. Oh really? So we decided to go there the next day for photoshooting. Located at near Sepang, Bagan Lalang sure is near to Cyberjaya. It only took us not more than 1 hour to arrive there, that's not bad. But we started our engine around 12pm, which I guess is way too early to go to the beach during this time, and for sure not a good time for shooting outdoor. Anyway, this is just in case we're really really lost.
The first thing that I "WOW-ed" is the beach. Because it is very very, how to say.. er.. big and wide? But sadly the water isn't clean. Our feet have to suffer to walk on muddy beach, you will feel like sinking into crab's home, stepping on them, eww, geli.. You can also spot lots of dead jelly fishes, crabs and hermit crabs! Hermit babies is very colorful! Nothing much to do during the afternoon. Walking around the beach as far as we could. Getting sunburned on our skins, damn pain. Waiting for sunset to come.
All I can say is, the sunset is beautiful! I wish I got UWA lens :(
Here are some enjoy :D

Wow, didn't update for few weeks.
Done 3Ds Max for my Computer Modelling finals.
Submitted Photography.
Submitted Flash game for Scripting Language.
Can't recall much. I guess other nothing is important.
Wooooo, as promised, here's some of my shots for that day! Most of them are random shots, didn't follow what was required :P Well, enjoy :D
Thumbnails
Oh ya, I guess from now on I will be uploading my photos somewhere else instead of using blogger's upload. As you can notice from all my previous posts, it's obvious that blogger's upload decreases quality of uploaded images :(
Cheers :)
Okay, my final assignment for my photography subject is here, just not long after my last submission. So yeah, trouble's here, time to search for a model again, duh! Remember how damn frustrated I am to find a model last time? is like searching for few years to get one bla bla bla.
Let me introduce my model, Michelle! Hey hey, guess what? she's my primary & secondary friend :D Well, we didn't talk much since secondary, but surprisingly she agreed on being my model, hmm, that was really fast lol.
Well, I've been searching for a place to shoot with, to name a few there'll be Colmar Tropicale, Malacca, Putrajaya etc. But the problem is I don't drive, we will go Holland for free if I do so. But thanks to Ping, he's helpful enough to drive us. So, I made up my mind and we ended up ourselves at Port Klang KTM station.
I felt guilty for not being punctual that day, delayed for 2-3 hours and didn't tell her the exact time though, where I waiting for Ping to back from KL and he stuck in a traffic jam, sorry Michelle.
Hmm, the reason why I choose here is because I saw some pictures in a forum where they photo shoot around the container, so it seems like a good place for my composition. It didn't turn out as what I expected. We can't enter the part with containers, it took us more than 1 hour to search and arrive there, really wtf.
I don't know why, the sky are clear and blue-ish and the sun was freakingly hot that evening, but a windy day :D I wonder if I do this at 2-3pm? lucky I'm not punctual that day LOL!
Here's my composition for the assignment
-Leading line
-Shapes & pattern
-Framing
-Shadow
-Reflection
-Silhouette
I walked around the KTM station hoping to find a nice place to shoot with. I found out that here can go Pulau Ketam LOL. To be honest, there's really nothing much I can snap here, My plan are ruined, no CONTAINER WTF! and then I decided to just snap beside the KTM ticket counter, which is the railroad. Since Port Klang's KTM station is the end, so there'll be no train passing by here, I hope not lol. I remember that I told her to wear high heels, now she have difficulties walking on the rail road, didn't think of that haha, my bad. But she does look great that day, suits for the theme :D
There's only few composition that I really satisfy with, leading line, shadow and silhouette.. The other 3 are basically on the same spot, same background but just different angle.. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! But those are for assignment's requirements, as for normal photo shooting, yeah, it doesn't seems that bad. There's really no other choice for me to snap somewhere else for the other 3 composition or have another photo session again with my model, she'll probably be busy I guess.
Overall, I'm quite satisfy with it although I didn't really talk much with her, well you guys know me lar lol. What I can say is, she really do have a potential to be a model, she's great! And somehow I really feel bad for myself that day haha, asking her to pose under hot sun, nearly put her aeroplane and most importantly wasting her time LOL! But hey, thanks a million for willing to be my model! it means a lot to me and it'll be my first step in portraiture photography :D
**I'll upload the pictures soon
Here's my
Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor
and
Nikon SB-600 Speedlight
yeah!
The lens is damn poisoning man! A very cheap prime lens with very sharp, very fast focusing performance and great BOKEH! Tested it on Merdeka countdown, works really well under low-light condition. Good for portraiture ;D
For the SB-600, too much to say bout it LOL! A very very good flash and it's almost the same with SB-900 just the power isn't as high as SB-900 and it cost half the price of SB-900. SB-600 is smaller, lighter, less expensive and does almost everything I need.
NIKON r0x!
______________________________
Well,I went to Digital Mall, Petaling Jaya last Sunday with my family for a walk and hunt for a good price for my lens. Surprisingly, the price is unexpectedly lower than the average price in forum :D The guy who sell me the lens had a great service too :)
We took a walk at MidValley in the mean time I tested my new lens as well. I also bought a collar tee in Robinson too with a cheap discount.
Somehow, sometime, being good isn't a good thing, instead, people will misunderstood you for other reason, they'll think that as if you're taking advantage of them, making use of them for your own good.
Everything is upside down, people think other side, negetive thoughts, sarcasms.
Is this human nature? or human changed each other?
Well, one thing I know,
nothing is forever.

Here's the the Flash webpage that I designed for my assignment using only Adobe Flash and some of my photos. Well, this is best I can with my Flash so far.. very satisfying though :D might make one for this blog in the future LOL! Again, it took me around 1 week to had it done.
Too bad, this is the biggest size I can resize for my Flash webpage, and... if you really REALLY want to see a full size of it, DOWNLOAD IT HERE!(400kb) :P
So, the Chinese ghost season arrived eh? Well is time to bring along some amulets for protection!
- Don't go out late in night
- Don't go out alone in night
- Don't simply say anything at night
- Don't simply kick foods or anything weird outside
- Don't do photography at night!
Yesterday around 4am+ it happened again, swt. Not wet dream but is sweaty dream O_O" For you who know, I used to let "Ghost press" ya kinda used to it though. There's a few times, which it is really really is scary which one of it happened yesterday.
Well, this time I guess is the scariest I ever had. Go to bed as usual, just that I can't really fall to sleep last night, so just roll here and there trying to get a sleep. As normal, suddenly, you will feel IT coming, yea, that "Ghost press"ing thingy. So, oh well, I just let it be. But somehow, it's way too long for yesterday. So, obviously I will try to struggle. The thing that really scared me is, while struggling, with my eyes half open and blurred scene(which is normal for it), I saw some grainy effect(like the photoshop filter) white colored thingy on the floor where I'm facing to. Worst of all, I heard a children screaming, with a repeating screeching scream.
I wake with my heart like drum beat
Take a look babes!
Finish this stupid idiotic Flash of mine LOL!
It's a frame-by-frame animation. Using just brush tool, text tool, motion tween. Music by DJ Tiesto - Adagio for strings. It took me 1 week to get it done.
Oh, I uploaded another one with sounds on Facebook, please add me up if can't see it! Might have lost you guy's contacts
