One really bad pano attempt here. Taken from Penang Hill. It was Av mode, so the very-smart camera took the metering on its own judgement. I couldn’t care much about it anyway. lol.

Kek Lok Si

Next day, we went to another very famous temple in Penang, which I don’t know what it is actual name. In general, it is a big-laying-buddha temple

And so happened it was the Songkran. So people were splashing water, wiping white stuff onto each other face ( argh…)

Komtar, the tallest building in Penang.

This is the best Chendol, and it is not gonna miss everytime I visit to Penang. For your info, it is located at Penang road. *slurp*

The Khoo Kongsi! If you noticed, the most of the walls are spectacularly engraved with all those craftworks. Those effort, salutes. We, who living now in minimalist concept can never understand. lol.

I hope to get you some Cameron Highlands trip photos too. If I get the chance to, even look at it. Doesn’t mean it has misplaced somewhere, I am just lazy sometimes. Anyway, it is mostly flowers, flowers and flowers. Sometimes, vegetables, strawberries and FLOWERS again. That’s Cameron Highlands all has.

Till next post. *ZZzzzpp*

Little announcement to made here today as Andy Chin Studio mark a small but significant milestone. Me myself is now a member of WPPI and [AG]WPJA. If you aren’t aware about both of these two professional body, kindly check out their website respectively, by click the image above.

I look forward for more opportunities to join contests, in an international stage, and to grab hold of chances to learn more from many other great photographers around the world.

In the celebration mood set here, I am giving out a discount voucher from Exabytes, a premium web hosting company in Malaysia. Now how to get this? Simple, leave a comment in this post. Is that all? Almost. the 30th person who leave a comment here win the prize. If he or she is not interested, if will be rewarded to the 29th instead, then 28th, 27th and so forth. Yup, is the other way, not going forward. Now I wonder this little traffic attracting blogsite, whether has that many people come by to comment and win away the prize! Who knows.

I, personally very anticipate about it, really. Is gotta be one workshop that I can’t afford to miss out. So please, CM, make it happen!

See, I liked his status update over at Facebook. ;p

Oh well, the really good thing about the workshop this time is, we have BIG GUEST! CMLeung was there too to be the guest speaker. Apart of being a speaker, he then be our friend too. This super talented guy from Hong Kong has a super good vision about his art. I personally is so inspired and admire him more and more than I was looking at his work on the web only before this.

I guess I have to look at other fonts now.

Few days back I had an enquiry which surprised me a little, it was an unofficial (formal) enquiry about a wedding in year 2010. “Perhaps you can call me back after some times, like September 2009?” This girl really plan well ahead, doesn’t she? 2010 is very far from now! Well, I know this ain’t super exciting thing for rock star photographers but I am not! Perhaps some must have said I should lock her down, get her to pay some retainer. I feel alright letting her go thou, because I probably getting higher pay after one year from now for the same thing! *claps*

Last week, C3 Worship was here for a One Night Only concert in City Harvest Church. The band is fabulous, rock solid contemporary Christian music! Even if one ain’t a Christian, the music alone is just fun to listen at! I have several shot during the concert, as usual being a photographer for my church. I was challenged every time, because the hall is terribly lit for photos sake! But is all good for otherwise. Let’s roll some photos…

Oh yes, this is a real cool church.

Some solo showcase!

The fans…

So, what are we doing here at the coffee house? They are actually rushing for the slideshow for showcase tonight. So I am here to, be with them, drink, online, read blogs etc. This afternoon is a hot afternoon. The heat just forcing over me. *sweat*

Very busy!

Here’s one for preview!

And I am so sleepy…

I was back to hometown last week to attend a wedding and shoot an engagement session for a friend. I couldn’t seems to go thru all the photos as yet. My eyes get sore every time I stare at the screen. I am being lazy! haha. I was trying to look for some cool sunset shot during my stay. But it was the bad time because of rainy season. Hardly got a chance to go out and do some leisure shooting. But my stay was fun, I had never got enough sleep because my day was all programmed. Eat, laugh, play, friends, drinks…

I did my very good (yet to best, I know) try to snap below two O-Ren-Ji sky when I was on the other shooting session. It was after a long day rain, and 1 minute before the sky went pitch dark! You know the situation, you really gotta be fast.

A little pano from the shore of Sutera Harbour.

I like this, it is such an enjoyment to relax over here.

Oh, before I forget, I went to Manukan Island too! It is sooooooooooo long since I last went to island. I miss the sunshine, beach, bikini babes, volleyball, banana boat, fish, AH! Everything!

I wanted to do micro-blogging at first, you know, the twitter, facebook status update thingy. But God! I have so much time waiting now! ;p Anyway, this weekend is gonna be a great one! I am going back to Kota Kinabalu to shoot a friend’s wedding. Oh, you just have to wait for the dedicated blog post! I can’t wait, so anticipated. I will have another gal friend of mine, shooting with me! Wow, so much fun about it! Then I noticed, these days so many out there wanna be a photographer! As a matter of fact, camera getting cheaper, and shooting digital is instant feedback/result! so much easy to learn. Well, if one is into it, it is not so easy afterall. Why am I talking about this? Maybe I am just too bored.  So random.

Well, apart from shooting, I have some personal errand to run as well, which I have to grab hold of every single opportunity because I am not always be there. I miss my mum cooking! *slurp* What the heck… I just had lunch! lol. You see, mum’s cooking always the best.

Alright, enough for bragging. MY LAPTOP IS RUNNING OUT OF BATTERY! Goodness, for just that while. Old junk. *pray* God, bless me a new Macbook Pro. hehe…
