Of Clear Blue Skies & Cotton Candy Clouds

Was driving around a lot today, and couldn't help but notice that the skies have cleared up so much. Unlike the hazy past few weeks, the sky was a clear blue today. Filled with white fluffy cotton candy clouds. Its times like these that makes me wish I had my camera with me everywhere I go. Or at least, have a phone with a better camera.  

The sky was still a vivid blue while I was approaching home at about 7pm, and after that inspirational trip to Singapore, felt that I needed to snap.
 

Something.
 
Anything.
 

Got home, changed, grabbed the camera bag, got the sister to tag along, and started trekking down to the intersection of Jaya One.
Sat down on the divider and started snapping away.


Kinda happy with the results, but should have cleaned the lens BEFORE snapping. Not AFTER! :( 

Since the magical hour was still applicable, the sis and I ran over to Jaya One, and started searching for a place to start snapping. We found our way to one of the rooftops, plonked the tripod down, and snapped a rather uncluttered skyline.
As with the other image, my editing skills still have much to improve.

Bergembira di Bandar Bersejarah

I'm turning a quarter of a century old this year, and I have numerous friends around my age getting hitched. A good buddy is moving into that zone in October. Thought it would be nice to go on a road (day) trip with the high school buddies, and take loads of pics along the way. And that was what we did! AWESOME! :)
Introducing, the couple. Alex and Dorothy, who met when they were in Uni in the UK, and guess what? At a Church conference. Hmmmm...are you thinking what I'm thinking? :) It was a really casual trip. Where we went all over Melaka, and snapped whenever, wherever, however we wanted to.

Doesn't this look like a castle in the middle of a bamboo forest? Or do I just have a vivid imagination?
Oh not to forget that it was a major makan trip as well. We really ate non stop. We were a little hobbits. We had 3 breakfasts, 2 lunches, tea, and dinner. Nearly had space for supper. NEARLY!

Chicken Rice Ball Om nom nom nom
Melaka was great fun. And its a great place to take pics. We spotted another couple having their pre-wedding shots as well.

Stuff's 5 years old!


For a 5 year old's party, last night was a night of might and mayhem. We know who provided the might AND mayhem eh. Big thank you to @kenWei316 (Stuff's Editor) for the invites, the free booze (and OJ on the rocks) and a whole lot of entertainment.
Emcees for the night, Natalie and Ean from Hitz.Fm kept the audience pumped up with the silly stage games, loads of lucky draw prizes, and poking fun at winner's names. (Kinda glad they didnt draw my name card from the box. It wouldn't have been worth the humiliation to win a wireless keyboard and 2 mouses/mice)
Ken's got this "I've got a take-over-the-world-plan scheeming in my head" look.
There's this one person, that was so famous by name (which totally describes how he looks) but have never met before. Finally had the privilege of meeting @simonbotak. No guessing how he looks like eh.

@simonbotak and @hueisong before the mayhem began.
I was actually there on official work matter as well. My client Dell, won the Reader's Choice Award for the Best Desktop. So had to take photos of Dell's representative, Tony accepting the award. :)
The organisers didn't do too bad with the party. There were ample booze to make sure the crowd was kept happy. Green bottles and red labels filled the table tops. Rowdy guys wanting to win the next lucky draw prize and pretty chicks filled the dance floor.

@wernshen and his Guitar Hero rocker chick friend, Wei Yu

@melkoo & @ciaomella had their fair share of fun as well!
@eddyhan having an intimate moment with @melkoo
Bumped into my junior from high school, Dannie! :)

The DJ-ians, Lim Yen and Jane

This is the, "I can't believe I won a mouse" look.

And this is the "I wanna snap some chick's pic" look.

It was a night of bumping into friends. Here's Ken with my college mate, Wendy & her fiance Jason.

Rocker chics Natalie and Sarah Lian showing the crowd how to be a Guitar Hero.

@lokgotz giving his stamp of approval for their stellar performance.
Who says you can't cam whore with a DSLR.
@hueisong and I. And yes, I still need to go for smiling classes! :p
Bumped into yet another high school junior of mine. Vivien standing far right.
Its been quite some time since I've gone partying. Just having OJ on the rocks is not all that fun eh. But all in all, Stuff's 5th Bday Bash was a blast.
Thanks STUFF!

p/s: there were actually a few more pics that mysteriously disappeared from my memory card. Which up till now, I'm still kinda upset for losing those pics! :(


The Reds go marching on!

It's been a long long while since I've written anything. And I sort of promised our reader(s) that I will take more effort and actually write a proper post *clears throat* and not a one liner and call it a post.As you might have already known, the Red Devils were in town for the Manchester United Asia Tour 2009. Playing in Malaysia, Indonesia, Korea and China. With Malaysia being their first stop, it was a great opportunity for the team to show off the brand new kit as well.To be really honest, I didn't fancy the new kit so much when I first saw the "preview" images. But after a while, hey, it doesn't look that bad eh. It's still too expensive for me to get one now. I've not been buying the kits for quite a few seasons now. :(
Federico Macheda - Johnny Evans

Michael Carrick - Ben Foster

Darren Fletcher - Wayne Rooney

Nike being one of our clients, I had the greatest privilege to help out at the Nike Man Utd press conference, where I got to see the great Rio Ferdinand, Darren Fletcher, Nani and Darron Gibson up close but not too personal. At the press conference, found out a few things.
#1 - Rio Ferdinand is not on Twitter, and he is quite a funny fella.
#2 - Darren Fletcher being a Scot, speaks clearer English than Sir Fergie.
#3 - Nani can hardly speak English. Boy, its time to learn. Summore want to change Maths & Science back to BM la!

After the press conference, I rushed down to Bukit Jalil for the training session. Nothing much happened, but it was a good opportunity to get to see the players in person. Now, there is a Man Utd legend that every Man Utd fan would know, and Nike organised a coaching clinic with some school kids. The clinic was conducted by none other that Bryan Robson. Though I did not get any autographs from any of the Man Utd players or former players. It was a great experience all together.
As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words, here are a few thousand for you to slowly digest. GLORY GLORY MAN UTD!


Check out how short some of the Malaysian players are compared to the Man Utd players.

Yes, Malaysian players were always on the back foot, chasing after the ball.

I went, They inspired, I painted


Clear Skies - Arcrylic on canvas
@eleanorng & @yu11us asked me to join them at a friend's art pad on Saturday evening. Saw a few artists painting, and that inspired me. I had a few canvases lying around, and thought, I might give it a try. This is the resulting experiment. Not too bad for a 1st timer eh! Will see what else I can cook up! Thanks for the inspiration guys.

Earlier this week, I asked on
Twitter, which of the seven days in a week, do you hate most. Mine was Blue Monday, and Where-was-the-weekend Sunday. Well, I'm going through the last few hours of the latter, and not looking forward to the former.

Spending quite a lot of time on Twitter and My Brute this weekend. Checkout this really simple Online RPG fighting game.

Well, sigh, gonna end Where-was-the-weekend Sunday with an exciting FA Cup semi-final game between Manchester United and Everton! Have a good Sunday evening! And welcome Blue Monday :(
