Disappointing location..
So everyone talks about the Kek Lok Si temple in Penang and I wanted to get something nice from this location but guess what.. they were doing some renovation.. and this is like the 4th place that I went to and there were renovations going on. So here I am standing in front of this [...]
Hanging out with my dad
My dad has been living in Penang for some years now after his retirement. I hardly see him and the last time I met up with him here in Penang was almost 2 years ago. And I can’t even remember when was the last time I had a picture taken with him.. maybe it was [...]
One stormy night..
It was so windy, I had my car windows down, I decided to stop nearby because I saw something I wanted to shoot. After shooting it, and walking back towards my car, the wind was really blowing strong and then as I was about to open the door, I saw this in front of me [...]
Sleepless nights in Penang.. and today’s my birthday!
Walking around Penang is relaxing.. This was on Gurney drive. I love the colours of the D700.. it’s different but really nice. I’m still in the process of getting used to this camera. After so many years shooting Canon I really feel unfamiliar here. There’s a cool feature on the D700 and it’s called “interval [...]
A new sweet AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G!
Nikon has launched a new 50mm lens! Check out the link here. I’M GONNA GET ONE!!
From Penang with love..!
I’m now in Penang on my long shoot, 10 days here and after this 10 days in Johor.. Unfortunately I can’t post up the work I’m doing here because I’ve signed a confidentiality agreement with the client not to reveal any info. The bad news is I can only release my pictures 8 months later!!! [...]
Nikon and me!
I just bought two lenses today and I am a happy man… a 24-70mm f2.8 and a 70-200mm f2.8 I thought I should post up this picture with the Nikon sign in the background now that I am a Nikon user and representing this brand in my photography. One more reason is because I am [...]
New Canon 5D Mark II Announced
Canon has announced a new 5D MkII that is 21MPs, but still 3.9fps and can shoot full HD 1080p video. Price is around USD2,700. The body is almost the same as the old 5D. Bottom line, this camera is all about high quality and not so much about speed, just like the old 5D, except [...]
Day 6 – Last day in Beverly Hills
The next day, Rob took us shopping in Beverly Hills.. I repeat, shopping in Beverly Hills.. The moment we walked into the shop owner greeted Rob like they were old friends.. The had really nice suits in this shop. The rest of our team followed the bus tour to Disneyland and we had decided that [...]
Day 5 – Los Angeles, California
I’ve just recovered from jet lag… and KL is so hot..! Anyway here’s some pictures I made after our convention. We flew out of Salt Lake City at 7 in the morning and arrived in LA at about 9am. Headed down to Santa Monica beach for a short walk. LA is one of the smoggiest [...]
Day 4 – Last day of convention
This was the last day of our Agel World convention and we attended some fantastic training sessions. I am so inspired by the Portugese Diamond Directors who just exploded their market in a few months and achieved Diamond in 3-4 months each! A Diamond Director earns roughly around 30k US Dollars a month! It was [...]
Back in Asia..
I’m on transit for an hour in Hong Kong International airport now. It’s 8am, my flight to KL departs at 9am. I managed to catch some sleep on the plane and also watched Iron Man the movie but I fell asleep before it ended..
Day 3 – AGEL WORLD – A worldwide phenomenon
I’m sitting in Los Angeles airport or LAX waiting for my flight to take off.. I’ve been so busy the last few days my schedule was so packed and I didn’t have time to go online at all. I’ll be home by Thursday afternoon, but anyways I’m gonna blog about my days in the US, [...]
A day around Salt Lake City
It’s just the day before the convention starts and we have some time to look around the city. I’ve had a long day and feeling just so tired now. The important day is tomorrow as the conference starts in the morning for 2 full day sessions. But here’s where we went today: Capitol Hill of [...]
A very short transit in San Francisco then to Salt Lake City
My flight left KL at about 9.30am on Wednesday and then transit in Hong Kong to quickly change flights.. didn’t even have enough time to enjoy a cigarette. From Hong Kong it was a 12 hour flight to San Francisco. I slept most of the way which was my intention because I never enjoyed long [...]
Coming To America…
I will be making a trip to the US for 8 days and my flight leaves in about 6 hours time… The purpose of my visit there is for a business convention in Salt Lake City, Utah, and after that I will be heading to Los Angeles for the usual tourist package.. I hope I [...]
D700 and Merdeka
I felt like a fish out of water… The Nikon system is so completely different from Canon’s. I’m still trying to understand how Nikon works. I shot at JPG Fine and the file sizes are only 4-6MBs, but my old Canon 5D gave me 12MB files. I don’t understand this at all. Moreover I had [...]
