Photohunters - Bright
Posted on June 27, 2008 - Filed Under photohunters
This morning i was trying to crack my head on what to post up and Chun Huey suggested why don’t i use some of my Redang pictures. And that was what i did, lol.
Just more than a week ago, i was on this beautiful Redang Island which was on the east coast of Malaysia. The weather was excellent for diving, snorkelling as well as photography. The clouds somehow formed beautiful shapes as though it was strokes of white paint on the sky. The picture above shows how bright it was, in fact Dolphin was even wearing a cap, LOL.
So to capture the clouds, i had to put use my polarizer to cut down the amount of light and with a few settings to my DSLR thanks to William, i was able to capture the clouds without the glare of the sunlight.
This settings are also ideal to do silhouette pictures.
Being on the island gave me the chance to learn a lot on photography and this was one of it 
Anyone up for another trip ? Cambodia probably ? 
Have a great weekend everyone
Redang - The journey to Redang
Posted on June 27, 2008 - Filed Under holiday
Exactly a week ago, i was sitting in that very chair staring into the sea which surrounds Redang Island and i tell you, it’s one of the few islands that you won’t regret visiting. Pangkor didn’t make that big an impact to me but Redang definitely did. Oh btw, thanks for this picture William
The journey to Kuala Terengganu itself was an experience to me
Dunhill brought classical music to my ears
Posted on June 24, 2008 - Filed Under outing, penang
Just got back from Redang and i am still swaying around as though i am still at sea @_@
I was never a fan of classical music and i remembered how my dad used to play the cds that he got from Reader’s Digest and i would go bonkers. In fact at times i would show tantrums *the joy of being a kid* just to get the song changed or the cd player switched off.
But all that slowly changed and i started to appreciate classical music but not to the extend where i go gaga over it.
During my younger years i remembered how much time i wasted sitting in front of the tele box watching shows after shows on either tv1, tv2 o tv3. There’s one particular session where i definitely wouldn’t miss it for anything in the world and that’s the Dunhill Double BlockBuster. Every Thursday and Friday i will be glued to the tele watching what ever they had to offer and i tell you those movies were top notch, i mean for that time ler. It brought the world of time traveling to me and it made a strong impact that i even asked my dad why aren’t we going back in time when the speed of the car touched 88, lol. If you still haven’t got any clue what was i talking about, it’s Back to the Future. Besides that, Robocop was another one which i followed religiously.
Photohunters - Water
Posted on June 20, 2008 - Filed Under photohunters
Many moons back, my friends and i tried a new trend in spa which is Fish Spa. All you have to do is dip both your legs in the water and the next thing you know, fishes will be nibbling your feet and it’s really ticklish. Some patrons go to the extend of laughing out loud
They even have the full body fish spa whereby you submerge your whole body in a tank filled with these cute little fishes.
I have written an entry about this fish spa not too long back, so feel free to read about it.
Have a great weekend everybody !
Project-T: Ho Liao Team Strikes Back
Posted on June 16, 2008 - Filed Under football, fun
UPDATED: A lot of people requested for the full video, so it’s finally added at the bottom
Finally EURO2008 is here !!! And i am pretty sure there’s gonna be lots of people going to work or even class with panda eyes or maybe skip it all together if they have the chance. During these games, people usually gather around at mamak stalls but i on the other hand rather watch it at home with a bunch of friends and Mister Potato in my hands. This definitely doesn’t sound like me at all but trust me that’s what i do most of the time. With the hike of petrol price, watching at home definitely is the better choice and i won’t be surprised if price of mamak food does increase anytime soon.
For most of the time, i would have 2-3packets of Mister Potato for a match. Hahaha i do eat like a wood chipper when it comes to potato chips >_<” and it’s all the better since Mister Potato is currently having a competition for those who collects the most seals or pouches. These seals and pouches are then exchanged into football points where you can redeem prizes later on. And the prizes are eye poppingly crazy !
For the 30 top football points collector, they will receive a Total Football Tour at Manchester, England ! This includes the Stadium and Museum and it’s worth RM 15000 ! @_@ So stim can.
Besides that, there are also monthly prizes to be given away which are autographed football jerseys. So this doesn’t just limit to Manchester United fans, you can also win a Liverpool or even a Chelsea jersey
Recently i have been chosen to be part of Project-T and my group, Group Ho Liao had to come out with an idea on how we could get a lot of pouches and seals to stand a chance to win the trip to Manchester. The ideas that we brain stormed are then assigned to each individual and come out with a short video. Knowing that we are scattered around Malaysia and will not be able to appear all together in a video, we decided to have a packet of Mister Potato as our link.
It starts off with our Ho Liao boss, KY giving ‘blessings’ for us to start the video, hahaha. Okok the real deal was Muzaffar *another Ho Liao boss* wanted to know how could he win the trip to Old Trafford and KY will explain to him with the help of his 5 Ho Liao members *coughs* Thomas comes in with his brilliant idea which was to go on a Mister Potato diet. By doing so, he would be able to consume more Mister Potato and collect more pouches or seals. The funny thing is, Thomas is already sooooooo THIN ! Hahahah. Now that, i can’t wait to see Kevin on the other hand was gonna do it the old fashion way, which is to steal Mister Potato. Not one but a few Mister Potato. I mean when you steal also must think BIG and going for one would be ‘potong stim’. While trying to escape, he stumbles upon someone whom he knows and that would be the climax Foong’s idea was her son demanding Mister Potato, hahaha. Wouldn’t that be easy for her ? LOL just wait for her son to finish one pouch by one pouch and in no time she’ll be flying off to Manchester. Debra …. where do i even begin with her idea hahahaha. Just like a kissing booth whereby you pay to be kissed, Debra will be going on dates in exchange for Mister Potato, lololololol. Obviously one pouch isn’t gonna do the trick, so it depends on how much the date is willing to offer … And finally me …. >_<”
My idea was to photocopy the pouches and seals @_@
Yes yes PHOTOCOPY @_@ *KY i am so gonna strangle you for this idea* I am gonna photocopy the pouches and seals in hope of getting myself to Manchester. LOL
The description above is in NO particular order So do check out the video for the overall view and this is my part for the video. Kinda potong stim cause everyone did super long duration and mine was up within 20 seconds -_-” Oh and mine is in Tamil, hehehe.
Please bear with us as this was done in a super duper short time and it was during weekdays -_-! Hohoho

Photohunters - Emotion(s)
Posted on June 14, 2008 - Filed Under photohunters
A few weeks backs when i met up with HungWei, Aaron and Hugo ….. and not forgetting Dolphin who appeared out of thin air, i realized in that few hours alone, HungWei had many expressions and fortunately, most emotions shown were captured on my camera LOL
Did you know: If you were to smile you use less muscles compared to if you frown So keep smiling
Have a great weekend everyone !

Photography is definitely an expensive hobby, whether its a piece of plastic to diffuse the flash or a bag to house the camera and accessories, everything is bloody expensive. But nothing beats taking a good photo and Juon Wor here went to the extend of getting a 70-200 f2.8 lens. For those who have got no idea what that means, it’s an expensive lens that is used for zooming -_-” I mean a REALLY expensive lens and it cost more than my camera itself >_<”
I followed Juon Wor to get his lens and since he had a couple of hours to spare, we decided to walk along Penang Road to snap a few pictures.
I was already having a hard time carrying around my bag and my camera round my neck and God knows how Juon Wor was managing his crazy long lens with his camera. I tried it on my camera and it’s so heavy that i would probably need to lift weights if i ever decided to buy, which isn’t gonna happen
The weather too wasn’t kind enough as it was scotching hot.
Speaking of cameras, a few weeks back i met up with HungWei, Aaron and Hugo at Midvalley. Aaron finally got his flash and so he officiated it while we had dinner at some Vietnamese Restaurnt.
Aaron showing off his spanking new flash
The sight of flashes bouncing off the ceiling off and on had attracted a few people to have a glance on what’s happening on our table. Hung Wei in particular had fans throughout the dinner
Later on we adjourned to Kim Gary. Before Kim Gary, we followed Hugo to get his money changed for his backpacking trip.
Then out of the blue, Dolphin appeared out of thin air …
She too got excited with the flash and decided to play with it … which caused HungWei to …
… keep an eye on Angeline. See his ever ready hand. Just waiting to pounce if anything goes wrong. Hahahaha.
Now i shall continue my hibernation. Can’t wait to watch Italy VS Holland later at night

Project-T initiated
Posted on June 2, 2008 - Filed Under nuffnang
Have any of you heard about this top secret project kicked off by Nuffnang lately? For the benefit of those who have no clue, let me brief you on what is it about, to give you a clearer picture.
This top secret project, codenamed Project Trafford has been initiated to gather 40 bloggers on the hope of conceiving unique or rather mind-blowing ideas to pitch in for a certain product. The word Trafford has probably struck a chord in some of you already but if that doesn’t sound familiar, it actually refers to Old Trafford which is the homeground for the Red Devils, aka Manchester United. Let’s say the grand prize winner has something to do with Old Trafford and for those who aren’t fans of Man United, there’s still prizes which awaits you 
The prizes are made possible by Mister Potato in their current campaign and all you have to do is collect as many Mister Potato seal and pouch. By doing so you will actually collect football points and you can redeem attractive prizes.
If you are still vague about this whole Project Trafford thingy, fear not … more will be revealed in the upcoming entry but in the mean time, let me introduce you to my fellow team mates.
