<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">For the year 2010, the year of the tiger, WWF will be running this tiger conservation campaign. With the aim of doubling the number of tigers by 2022, hence the concept of TX2.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I was involved with the roadshows being set up in colleges to promote the campaign and its Tiger Trex campaign. So I was asked to put up an example of a photo essay.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">A photo essay is a simple set/compilation of photos where every single photograph will contribute in telling a main story. Which means the photographs will not stand up as individual ones but rather being a part of the story.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This is what i came up with and this is the story i'm telling about the tigers in the wild now:</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />

And once again, me and my family got bored and decided to head to Jenjarom to visit the much hyped Dong Zen temple during the CNY period.<br /><br />I didnt like the journey to there, it was long as I think I drove bout an hour from my place? But nevertheless, it was rather spectacular and stunning. Loads and load and loads of lantern and lighting displays.<br /><br />My favourite was the temple where the whole place was brightly lit with paintings at the side of the walls. Of course they made it compulsory for anyone who goes in to wear a ridiculous shower cap on their shoes for cleanliness purposes.<br /><br />Food court prices are killer, but we didn't have our dinner there. We prefer non-vegetarian bak kut teh :D<br /><br />#Disclaimer#<br />I know how much a website with loads of pictures suck big time, cause needed to wait for the loading and choke up the bandwidth.<br />So below are 2 flash slideshows which will do the job. And i think i will do this for the remaining photos (in huge amount) that i'll be posting in the future<br /><br />This is a very good slideshow display, but just need to be patient to wait for the picture to load (depending on your connection)<br /><iframe align="center" src="http://www.flickr.com/slideShow/index.gne?group_id=&user_id=31075734@N04&set_id=&tags=fgs" frameBorder="0" width="500" height="500" scrolling="no"></iframe><br/><small>Created with <a href="http://www.admarket.se" title="Admarket.se">Admarket's</a> <a href="http://flickrslidr.com" title="flickrSLiDR">flickrSLiDR</a>.</small><br /><br />This one is really cool, you definitely have to try out the full screen mode.

The one in youth 09 ain't counted k. I can say that this was very impressive, regarding the range and <span id="fullpost">amount of cosplayer. Of course there's always the good and bad ones when it comes to cosplaying, you'll be the judge as I didnt realised i took pics over 50 different cosplayers during my 1 half hour there.<br /><br />Btw, those of you who have no idea what this 'cosplaying' is, its basically dressing up as any anime, manga or video game characters. Kinda like Halloween in Japan without the candies and trick o' treating.<br /><br />To be honest, I could barely recognise any characters knowing that I only watched and read a handful of anime and mangas in my entire life. At least i still know some Bleach, Hitman Reborn and Star Wars cosplayers *grin*<br /><br />Anyway, knock yourself out with these pics!<br /><br /><a

(A LOVEly cloud!)<br />
<br />
It was quite a spontaneous morning hike with Meng Hui, since she wanted to go hiking and i'm still hunting for sunrise pictures. Thanks to the trusty <span id="fullpost">GPS, finding the place was quite a breeze. But basically its just going along the Kajang highway and turn in upon seeing the Semenyih exit. After that would be going straight and make a left turn at one of the traffic light in the town area. Just head towards Nottingham (not the one in another continent) and till you reach a more isolated road.<br />
<br />

<br />
Honestly the entire stretch of road beside palm oil plantation is pretty scary, especially in the wee morning. Just go along till you can spot the rabbit farm on your right and you shall turn left into a dirt road and park there inside the plantation. Yes, that's another spooky spot as well. Torch lights are mandatory.<br />

<br />
The hike up was alright, easier than what i did in Sungai Lembing which was around 45 mins as well. Just that it will be quite easy to slip since half of the part are quite steep and the ground dirt are rather loose. Not to forget there's couple of paths, btu i believe most of it will lead you to the top. Just make sure you remember which path you took.<br />

<br />
My strategy was just keep on taking the right. Lol. Quite a lot of split roads. But of course it will be dumb to take a right turn which leads downhill instead.<br />

Unfortunately no clear sunrise, still rather cloudy on the horizon. But the breeze was wonderful :)<br />

And i'm proud to say that I've been to every state in Malaysia *grin* In a nutshell, Kuching seemed to be<span id="fullpost"> a small and simple town. Not too much of a busy and occupied environment. Maybe KL's rush hour traffic jam is just bad for mentality.<br /><br />Took me a few tries to get this shot right. Ever noticed those gift shops where they don't allow photographing? Yeah, I did that anyway, since I have no intention of stealing their 'interior' or souvenier designs. Its the same damn friggin keychain in every shop. Anyway, just hang the camera around your neck and rest both of your palms on top of it. Now just pretend you're looking closely at an item while you use you index finger to autofocus and press the shutter release. Of course you must turn off your AF-assist light.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/4162939071/" title="DSC_5449 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2639/4162939071_9777397c95.jpg" alt="DSC_5449" width="500" height="302" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/4163700768/" title="DSC_5462 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2761/4163700768_f4901b2663.jpg" alt="DSC_5462" width="323" height="500" /></a><br />(Yeah, 2nd pic and i'm already showing you a random crack on the wall/pillar)<br /><br />This is Waterfront...because its in front of the river.

Means no pretty ferris wheel wih funky lights at night. Its another <span id="fullpost">outing with Esther. Suppose to be shooting at Sentul Park, but security wouldn't let us stroll around and take pics. Lousy YTL development areas. Not like anyone will ever wanna copy their 'designs'.<br /><br />So yeah, we detoured and ended up at titiwangsa lake.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/4117434305/" title="_DSC2067 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2609/4117434305_975b86dbbe.jpg" alt="_DSC2067" width="500" height="335" /></a><br /><br />Its BORING. Just like any other park...only boring-er. Its so boring that it deserve a grammatically wrong word. Hence, explains all my shots. I would like to call it abstract and artistic shots. You dunno what i'm shooting...i dunno what i'm shooting, but of course you're not suppose to know the latter.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/4117433327/" title="_DSC20442 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2626/4117433327_5456f1780a.jpg" alt="_DSC20442" width="500" height="500" /></a><br /><br />I'm kinda pleased with the reflection of the lake (a very dirty 1 indeed, can barely find any suitable angle to it).

In Penang<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/4105758917/" title="_DSC5164 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2491/4105758917_617d95c2e1.jpg" alt="_DSC5164" width="500" height="334" /></a><br /><br />As you all might probably know I work with this corporate training company called D' Jungle People. And DJP is involved for this Twisties event called Bingit! Don't <span id="fullpost">ask me why its called as Bingit. It will be better as Rockit.<br /><br />Anyway, its like a rockband search thingy with the usual American Idol style. Competition will take place every Saturday at different venues. Starting with The Curve, New World Park Penang, somewhere in JB, somewhere in Kuching and final 2 weeks in 1 Utama. So 1 band will be eliminated each week as they are touring around Malaysia (although i don't really consider 4 states as the whole Malaysia). Decision made by judges, I have no idea who are they. (Don't give me that stare k, as I admit that i'm not much of a local rock band fan)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/4106525290/" title="_DSC5160 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2487/4106525290_5d7447c66a.jpg" alt="_DSC5160" width="335" height="500" /></a><br /><br />As said, DJP's job in this event will be crowd engaging and getting the audience to be hyped up. So basically we'll be playing instruments (stuffs like sticks, shakers, washboards, drums) and getting the people around to play with us as well.<br /><br />Apart from that, we'll be conducting 3 main games on the stage during the intervals of the competition to keep the hype and crowd going. Awesome prizes if you ask me.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/4105761237/" title="_DSC5178 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2693/4105761237_974cd5c966.jpg" alt="_DSC5178" width="500" height="334" /></a><br /><br />Anyway I didnt take that many pics during the event as all of us were wearing the 'crew' tshirt, so we're not suppose to stand in the middle of the crowd as 8tv is recording the entire thing<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/4105758259/" title="_DSC5161 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2534/4105758259_aeb219830c.jpg" alt="_DSC5161" width="500" height="334" /></a><br /><br />For this week's performances, there are some English mainstream rock songs being played like Linkin Park's One Step Closer, Red Hot's Can't Stop and Gavin Degraw's I Don't Wanna Be<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/4105759945/" title="_DSC5174 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2753/4105759945_a9d058bbe8.jpg" alt="_DSC5174" width="334" height="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/4105762085/" title="_DSC5180 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2604/4105762085_b298de9721.jpg" alt="_DSC5180" width="500" height="334" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/4106528762/" title="_DSC5175 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2653/4106528762_5389cb6b4e.jpg" alt="_DSC5175" width="500" height="334" /></a><br /><br />And the crazy people I'm working with during the event :)<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/4106524982/" title="_DSC5185 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2663/4106524982_d365e76621.jpg" alt="_DSC5185" width="500" height="334" /></a></span>Miuxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02457365802847428277noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3275931275951135887.post-14998951329547950672009-11-06T03:41:00.002+08:002009-11-06T04:18:41.451+08:00Exam RantsAs you all may notice my 'lack of updating', although it's not really known to 'my' culture.<br /><br />I will keep on stressing this till i leave my formal academic education phase of my life, exams are meant to make your life miserable. May or may not apply to private or overseas' examination, but as general assumption to Malaysia's way of exam, it is THAT bad.<br /><br />Anyhow, this is not meant to be an angry post, just some of my twisted and bored thoughts. Ever sat down in the examination hall, looking at the clock and thoughts kept on flowing in? Yeah, especially during times where you have no clue what to answer for those forsaken questions. These are the times where your day dreaming and thoughts flow in faster than ever.<br /><br />Probably these are some of the things that usually go thru my mind:<br />1. I'll just take a nice bath and lie down on the bed once i get home (I'm pretty sure everyone lined up their itinerary for the next 2 hours after gettin out from that hall)<br />2. Which pathway will I take to get to the toilet later?<br />3. Should I finish my paper and exit the hall earlier before the time is up?<br />4. How much do they(the assistants for the examination) get paid to just collect and give out question and answer sheets?<br />5. Oh look, someone actually finished his/her paper way earlier! I wonder if he/she is really that good or just gave up?<br />6. Once again, should i leave earlier? (Peer pressure kicking in)<br />7. How nice if this is the very final paper for this semester.<br />8. The chick who is leaving is kinda cute (Totally subjective, don't take it so serious)<br />9. It will be kinda of a bummer if suddenly i ran out of ink or battery for my calculator.<br />10. Crap, I still need to finish this question(s)...but look at the time, still an hour left??<br /><br />Okay, too much information there.<br /><br />I'm pretty sure everyone did essay exams before and there came the instruction where it says:<br />"JAWAB HANYA 3 SOALAN"<br /><br />Immediately you feel like there's a brink of hope, knowing that you have the 'choice' of avoiding tough questions. The hope lasted till the point where you start flipping and discover that there's only 4 questions looking right at ya. And just to add in to your frustration, you only have the confidence and ability to answer 2 of it.<br /><br />At this point I realised that they should have just instructed:<br />"PILIH SATU SOALAN YANG ANDA TIDAK INGIN MENJAWAB"<br />At least that will give me a different perspective and mental preparation.<br /><br />The 2nd thing that bothers me was, why aren't we allowed to leave 15 minutes before examination ends? Sure, I understand bout the first 30 minutes or so. To make sure you at least make some effort to write down your name/ID correctly and seemed like you are takin the exam seriously.<br /><br />But why the 15 minutes before ending? Afraid of causing some irregularities or congestion? It seems fine to me as long everyone stops writing and hand it in when the time stops.<br />Usually I'm already done when they announced the 15 minutes 'confinement'. I wouldnt wanna give myself the adrenaline boost. Since there's is nothin more exciting than knowing you are running out of time.<br /><br />Talking bout adrenaline rush, nothing is worst than the time is up while you're still writing down your answers. Answers which are really gonna earn you some points! Nothing will shake more than your hand holding that pen.<br /><br />2nd top exam adrenaline rush...when you're done writing your 'overtime' answers and discovered that you still have to tie the answer sheets/booklets together with that small, tiny piece of thread. I call it a thread, since its not long enough to be a string. Just to add to the rush, you are one of the last few who have stand up from your seat...and there comes the invigilators/assistants standing beside you to make sure you tie those booklets faster with your huge hands.<br /><br />Anyway good luck for those who still will be taking exams. I know msot of us from the public uni will finish by next week. Have fun!<br /><br />P/s: I always wish my mates have fun instead of good luck. It makes more sense as well. Since basically you either know the answer...or not. No lady luck gonna help you with that. So if you have no idea what to do, just enjoy the ride ;)Miuxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02457365802847428277noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3275931275951135887.post-45811870442981957632009-10-22T16:01:00.003+08:002009-10-22T16:15:26.804+08:00Pulau Redang Chapter 2<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/4033618919/" title="_DSC2470 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2751/4033618919_10709c270a.jpg" alt="_DSC2470" width="335" height="500" /></a><br /><br />Once again I've returned to this island. By referring to the previous post, its a field trip for one of my elective subjects in UKM.<br />Its' a pity that <span id="fullpost">the weather wasn't tht pleasant. Since it's near the closing of the season for east coast beaches and island. Hence, its been drizzling for 2 mornings and there goes my sunrise =\<br /><br />But heck, i still got a shot of that.<br /><br />As for the snorkeling part, barely any fishes. It's time to blame the extra crowded Marine Park. But seriously, from our group itself we have like 110 ppl. Plus another few hundred more. More floating life-jackets than decent fishes.<br />But to be fair, when i went around May, it was beautiful and crystal clear. So it could be the rain causing all the murkiness.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/4033617963/" title="_DSC2153 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2786/4033617963_74242f829a.jpg" alt="_DSC2153" width="500" height="335" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/4033618215/" title="_DSC2191 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2427/4033618215_06dffc6f40.jpg" alt="_DSC2191" width="334" height="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/4034372584/" title="_DSC2296 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2516/4034372584_3f9d5b5caa.jpg" alt="_DSC2296" width="500" height="335" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/4034373026/" title="_DSC2303 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2524/4034373026_5def599a49.jpg" alt="_DSC2303" width="500" height="334" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/4033619469/" title="_DSC2219 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2509/4033619469_fef9338e1d.jpg" alt="_DSC2219" width="334" height="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/4034373660/" title="_DSC2492 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2802/4034373660_f361f29d3c.jpg" alt="_DSC2492" width="334" height="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/4034374040/" title="_DSC2321 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2604/4034374040_5313dd5020.jpg" alt="_DSC2321" width="335" height="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/4033620771/" title="_DSC2286 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2553/4033620771_506f933297.jpg" alt="_DSC2286" width="338" height="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/4034374988/" title="_DSC2343 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2551/4034374988_f3e71d20e3.jpg" alt="_DSC2343" width="334" height="500" /></a><br /><br />I've you're wondering how and where.

Yeah, 'field' trip. We just enrolled the class to <span id="fullpost">go for trips. Yeah, aren't you glad that I am THAT honest. haha. Lets just hope the final examination will be as easy as playing at the east cost island.<br /><br />Anyway, some of shots are taken on the boat (or speedboat...although its pretty huge and slow). And remaining were shot on the cliff nearby Laguna Redang Resort (fyi, we didn't stay there). The spot is rather secluded and not that 'user-friendly'. You might just slip and be one with the sea there. But great landscape and view :)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/4033581805/" title="_DSC2211 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2500/4033581805_014513f424.jpg" alt="_DSC2211" width="335" height="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/4033581919/" title="_DSC2223 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3510/4033581919_01f2eeab35.jpg" alt="_DSC2223" width="335" height="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/4034336316/" title="_DSC2452 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2571/4034336316_7d5f3c766a.jpg" alt="_DSC2452" width="335" height="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/4033582427/" title="_DSC2392 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/4033582427_a41c9a0c02.jpg" alt="_DSC2392" width="335" height="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/4034336796/" title="_DSC2439 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2575/4034336796_6aa72c222b.jpg" alt="_DSC2439" width="335" height="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/4034337014/" title="_DSC2394 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2803/4034337014_9f97cfb3a2.jpg" alt="_DSC2394" width="334" height="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/4033583123/" title="_DSC2449 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2446/4033583123_f96231beac.jpg" alt="_DSC2449" width="500" height="334" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/4034337498/" title="_DSC2200 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3645/4034337498_0bd379d77a.jpg" alt="_DSC2200" width="500" height="334" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/4033586075/" title="_DSC2427 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2741/4033586075_fe6ea1f429.jpg" alt="_DSC2427" width="335" height="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/4033586305/" title="_DSC2386 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3619/4033586305_5c685d35d4.jpg" alt="_DSC2386" width="334" height="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/4034340516/" title="_DSC2430 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3569/4034340516_910054db8b.jpg" alt="_DSC2430" width="334" height="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/4033586907/" title="_DSC2445 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2797/4033586907_47153089d9.jpg" alt="_DSC2445" width="500" height="335" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/4033587101/" title="_DSC2432 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2703/4033587101_d87862cb26.jpg" alt="_DSC2432" width="500" height="334" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/4033587429/" title="_DSC2434 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2630/4033587429_b01b942043.jpg" alt="_DSC2434" width="500" height="334" /></a></span>Miuxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02457365802847428277noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3275931275951135887.post-18513396079754064232009-10-06T22:55:00.003+08:002009-10-06T23:48:09.547+08:00Portraiture With Chai Chee<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/3983880231/" title="_DSC1883 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2672/3983880231_7af1d3cb0b.jpg" alt="_DSC1883" width="500" height="334" /></a><br /><br />Another overdued post, probably taken before raya holidays.<br />Anyway i'll just <span id="fullpost">simplified the details as I forgotten alot of the technical and experience details (as usual)<br /><br />Location: Putrajaya Botanical Gardens<br />Model: Chai Chee - A coursemate of mine.<br />Gears: D60, Tamron 17-50 f/2.8, SB600 on hotshoe with stofen diffuser<br />Technical: On manual mode most of the time, flash on manual;

My first complain will be, why the heck its called fac nite when it doesn't even consist of the entire faculty but only our economics department?? Trust me, its the same thing for other courses/facs.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Which reminds me, there's another term used in UKM:</span><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">'stayin comm' or 'stayin com'</span><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">It means staying in hostel/kolej. Com?? Its not even close to any abbreviation i can think of. Community hostel is the closest i can get, but doesn't make much sense. Probably someone derive the word from kamsis...'stayin kam' and it evolved became stayin com.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Kinda like tiger show. A colleague of mine mentioned that is a misconception where its actually called 'thai girl show'. I bet some of u didnt know tht :D</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Enough of rambling. Back to fac nite 09. No photos uploaded here or to my flickr since i sent everything to facebook. Anyway the crappy old olympus compact cam died after 50 shots...talk bout battery life. DSLR is too heavy to lug around.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">The nite was pretty alrite, except the fact tht the PA system kinda screwed up during the dancing session. Poor juniors, cant party much.</span><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">I dunno whatelse i shud say, all my opinions are rather harsh and critical sometimes. lol. better not piss anyone off.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">So yeah, we 3rd year fellas (the old farts) went to poppy as an after party event. 33 ppl, 6 cars. Can u even imagine that happening? Its like a friggin sch trip. lol.</span><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Its a decent club, its very hot and crowded since its partially open-aired and friday nite is a party nite. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Its a crazy nite. Most of them went wild...whether on the dance floor, on the booze or on their own coursemates. Oops, did i mentioned somethin? At some point it was rather embarrassing as there were ppl staring at us for all the screaming, ice throwing and whatnot. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">I wonder who gulped most of the booze, as 5 3/4 out of the 6 bacardi was emptied when i came back from the dance floor. Thanks for leaving some for us (literally)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">So yeah, they were making fun attacks on me coz of me dancing with another coursemate. Bastards, lol. This how u repay me after organising a clubbing outing? How bout the others who were groping each other as well? Haha. Wackiness.</span></span>Miuxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02457365802847428277noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3275931275951135887.post-57141326774013859072009-08-07T22:47:00.003+08:002009-08-07T23:04:19.504+08:00First Outdoor Portraiture<a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/3798377832/" title="_DSC1309 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2475/3798377832_484f5a674a.jpg" alt="_DSC1309" width="334" height="500" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Thanks to Michelle Chan!

Sunlight was pretty harsh that time although it was around 10.30am.

Simply as i didn't snap any pics during the programme itself. Was too busy helping out with it.<br /><br />So yeah, only tht very evening was the only time we get to chill for a while at Jesus Hut. Don't ask, just accept the name of that hut.<br /><br />Anyway, it was a very successful workshop as we're able to make an impact to the boys (not physically), might not be all of them, but even half is as good.<br /><br />This programme was led by commandant/head chef Ju-eng, chief cymbals Debbie, tai ka cheh "tepi-lah" Phui Yee, laughing gas Sonia, park ranger Adrian and the most-used 'kelefeh' O.K.U Miux.<br /><br />Details and programme outline are strictly kept confidential and only known to facilitators,observers and participants.

But yeah, it was an early morning drive (very very early if you have to know). Probably bout </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" id="fullpost">2.30-3am we left PJ, stopped by at mcD (breakfast not even available during tht hour yet) and a straight drive to sungai lembing.<br /><br />Apart from the long, dark and sleepy drive, it wasnt that bad driving at such hour. The road is clear, not much worry on speedtraps (it was a weekday) and its easier to drive on highways using both roads (same flow of course).<br /><br />The hike up panorama hill took us bout 45 mins. I heard old folks used to hike up every morning as exercise, i guess they can really race us up. Yeah, we kinda sucked big time when it comes to stamina.<br /><br />Pity that it was rather cloudy and drizzle a little. So no sunrise for us, did i mention that our initial idea was to watch the sunrise?<br /><br />Anyway, we came down, had breakfast and explore the small lil town. We came across this ruins/remaining of what we believed to be an old factory. Kinda like those Tomb Raider settings.<br /><br />Oh yeah, we went to have a look at the mining area as well, where sg lembing was once famed for. Ever played any RPG games where u need to get in for a dungeon raid? Yeah, thats how the entrance looks like.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/3794734957/" title="_DSC1145 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3428/3794734957_e4b38cbb05.jpg" alt="_DSC1145" width="334" height="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/3795555706/" title="_DSC1152 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2513/3795555706_8d4c83abed.jpg" alt="_DSC1152" width="500" height="335" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/3794733825/" title="_DSC1154 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3509/3794733825_46641fdb34.jpg" alt="_DSC1154" width="334" height="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/3795553984/" title="_DSC1164 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3085/3795553984_b6ebb43ac4.jpg" alt="_DSC1164" width="500" height="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/3794732257/" title="_DSC1143 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3597/3794732257_1ee349fcba.jpg" alt="_DSC1143" width="334" height="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/3794731461/" title="_DSC1173 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2592/3794731461_8a03aab600.jpg" alt="_DSC1173" width="335" height="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/3795551664/" title="_DSC1168 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2517/3795551664_013c74da98.jpg" alt="_DSC1168" width="334" height="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/3795550260/" title="_DSC1147 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3258/3795550260_dd0785e8a5.jpg" alt="_DSC1147" width="334" height="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/3795549266/" title="_DSC1169 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3600/3795549266_5b1cf9cebf.jpg" alt="_DSC1169" width="334" height="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/3794727411/" title="_DSC1101 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2477/3794727411_093c5dfe63.jpg" alt="_DSC1101" width="500" height="334" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/3795547762/" title="_DSC1113 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2543/3795547762_6e51b2949b.jpg" alt="_DSC1113" width="334" height="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/3795546634/" title="_DSC1121 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3568/3795546634_eba4714506.jpg" alt="_DSC1121" width="500" height="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/3794725551/" title="_DSC1132 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3589/3794725551_8a2d10e0e7.jpg" alt="_DSC1132" width="500" height="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/3795545554/" title="_DSC1135 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2524/3795545554_5efc697e9b.jpg" alt="_DSC1135" width="334" height="500" /></a></span>Miuxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02457365802847428277noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3275931275951135887.post-27037134351144193752009-07-12T23:06:00.006+08:002009-07-12T23:57:43.980+08:00KL Butterfly Park<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/3712492543/" title="_DSC0917 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2672/3712492543_3e03953fc1.jpg" alt="_DSC0917" width="500" height="334" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">One expression sums everything up....OMFG.</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">And i thought shooting the birds in Bird Park was tough enough. Until i come across these </span><span id="fullpost"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">bunch of flying 8 legged creatures.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">As usual with my photoshooting partner Esther, we arrived quite early, bout 9.30am. Barely any butterflies around. Then bout 45 mins later, the amount just doubled up. Not bad, these are trully Malaysian butterflies, slow and never early for anything.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Anyway, the tough part will be getting a close-up shot of them as the barely stay still! So actually 1/3 of my shots are flowers, fishes, some other insects and even monkeys (oh so pathetic).</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Btw, all these are shot using my new Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 lens with heliopan UV filter :) The outcome is amazing. Of course still need more than that to freeze the butterflies while they are moving around.</span><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/3713304612/" title="_DSC0935 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2544/3713304612_4f7a5190b9.jpg" alt="_DSC0935" width="500" height="335" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/3713304458/" title="_DSC0922 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2595/3713304458_ec56b344b3.jpg" alt="_DSC0922" width="500" height="334" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/3712492083/" title="_DSC0897 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3451/3712492083_4e8476a9dd.jpg" alt="_DSC0897" width="334" height="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/3712491847/" title="_DSC0875 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2491/3712491847_21145eedf2.jpg" alt="_DSC0875" width="500" height="341" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/3713302310/" title="_DSC0863 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3468/3713302310_38cdb7e670.jpg" alt="_DSC0863" width="500" height="334" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/3712489763/" title="_DSC0844 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3515/3712489763_c9743b75a9.jpg" alt="_DSC0844" width="334" height="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/3712686733/" title="_DSC0796 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3504/3712686733_722d7c6e15.jpg" width="386" height="500" alt="_DSC0796" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/3712489475/" title="_DSC0836 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2458/3712489475_7da78e7867.jpg" alt="_DSC0836" width="500" height="334" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/3713300882/" title="_DSC0827 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2599/3713300882_26c7c3a93f.jpg" alt="_DSC0827" width="335" height="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/3713300710/" title="_DSC0786 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2535/3713300710_9044139037.jpg" alt="_DSC0786" width="334" height="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/3712684403/" title="_DSC0766 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2670/3712684403_83d431317e.jpg" width="345" height="500" alt="_DSC0766" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/3712488935/" title="_DSC0748 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3440/3712488935_07d1ccef2d.jpg" alt="_DSC0748" width="500" height="334" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/3712488101/" title="_DSC0737 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2588/3712488101_140198a3c0.jpg" alt="_DSC0737" width="345" height="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/3712487499/" title="_DSC0708 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3434/3712487499_2081a6a249.jpg" alt="_DSC0708" width="500" height="335" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/3712487315/" title="_DSC0694 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2494/3712487315_3a9359ea4f.jpg" alt="_DSC0694" width="500" height="335" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/3713297804/" title="_DSC0632 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2436/3713297804_7466547ec7.jpg" alt="_DSC0632" width="500" height="334" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/3712485419/" title="_DSC0605 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2494/3712485419_a1d5ba3f9b.jpg" alt="_DSC0605" width="322" height="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/3713296822/" title="_DSC0712 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3440/3713296822_8fbe2b4cfd.jpg" alt="_DSC0712" width="338" height="500" /></a></span>Miuxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02457365802847428277noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3275931275951135887.post-2968333840736780022009-06-22T22:08:00.004+08:002009-06-22T22:46:37.984+08:00Gopeng Town<a style="font-family: lucida grande;" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/3647708362/" title="DSC_0329 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3652/3647708362_9201b61a15.jpg" alt="DSC_0329" width="334" height="500" /></a><br /><br />Due to work programmes, I was at Gopeng for 7 days (plus and minus). Part of the programme was located at the dead town of Gopeng. Except for Tuesdays <span id="fullpost">where the day market will be around the round about.<br /><br />Probably another hip, new and happening place (no, its not a trance club) will be the museum. The owner of this shoplot/house usually will be away and don't really stay there anymore, so they sorta loan the place to be a museum which is filled with old school stuffs, specifically the jap era.<br /><br />If you happen to be at that area, do check the place out. Everyone in the town seems to know where and what is it whenever you mention bout 'history' or 'places to visit'. Btw, cheap food around too.<br /><br />As an added fun fact, there's a huge storage area for pirated discs somewhere in Gopeng. It was busted not long ago. Of course I read this off the newspaper, not that I accidentally discovered it.<br /><br /><br /><a style="font-family: lucida grande;" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/3647694308/"

+ Redang + Lang Tengah + Kota Bharu<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/3611353016/" title="_DSC1423 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img

trip, despite all the minor AND major flaws through out the whole package </span><span id="fullpost"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;" >itself. Since it's a delayed post (due to huge huge amount of pics needed to be edited), I'm just gonna summarise it.<br /><br />1. I thought I'm not gonna make it alive during the speedboat ride from Kuala Besut jetty to Perhentian<br /><br />2. It's pretty cool that the beach is bout 20-30 feet away from our chalet<br /><br />3. The twin sharing rooms are terrible, one of the worst ever. Even camping is more comfortable.<br /><br />4. The corals are amazing, highly recommended. Variety of fish...just on average level (sounded as tho i'm visiting manhattan fish market)<br /><br />5. Friggin cut my left toes on the corals i highly praised bout. It was also an attempt to say 'fuck' loudly underwater with my snorkelling mask.<br /><br />6. Water is kinda murky on the second day of snorkelling, reminds me alot of our house aquarium 6 years back.<br /><br />7. There's a reason why the price tag on the redang package is higher than perhentian package<br /><br />8. I snapped over 600+ pics, mostly are burst shots which leaves us to 200+ unique pics. Only 20+ are my photography interest shots, the remaining ones are pics of my frens syok sendiri. lol.<br /><br />9. Food are very inconsistent in the my resort, it can be very tasty or just plain bland from meals to meals.<br /><br />10. And finally...the friggin bus broke down on the way back! Making our 8 hours ride back extended to 16! If i were to fly to L.A., i should be almost there by then. Apparently the CPU in the super high tech double decker bus was screwed, hence, the bus couldnt change its gear. Leaving us, to be 'cruising' on first gear WITHIN Raub itself. When people joke bout how walking is faster than the vehicle itself, its really true in this case<br /><br />Anyway, here are the 'photography' shot I'm happy with. The rest of the snapshots are in my facebook album :)</span><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/miux/3611352458/" title="_DSC1422 by M i u x, on Flickr"><img
