Longji Panorama

[Click to enlarge it]

Last night, I was browsing at my Guilin trip's photos. I wanted to edit the photos from the trip but seems like its taking me forever to edit them. Few nights before I've tried editing a few but none that I'm satisfied with.

Then I decided to merge some photos that I've taken as panorama. I did have pano in mind when I was taking the shots so I have a few sets that was taken for the purpose. In the end, I only managed to do one.

It took me 3 hours to join those few pictures together! I don't remember taking such a long time to make a pano photos previously with my P2. To pro photographers, I know, the speed is dissappointing but I'm learning :D

Its not the best pano photo but still I'm happy of the outcome...Hee!!

I'm Back...Drained...

I was already back in Penang on Friday evening.

I felt so drained out. Day 1 I had to wake up at 3am. Only had 3 hours of sleep. Flight to Guilin was 4 hours from KL. When we reached Guilin, we had lunch, refreshed and we're out sightseeing.

It was a sunny day..not too sunny but just right. Somewhow, I was too tired halfway through that I nearly fainted. Luckily enough, I felt much better after we moved on to visit another place which is much more cooler. A cave.

Day 4(last day) I had fever. ARGHH!! Stayed in hostel almost half the day. And there's no Facebook, Blog, Twitter or even YouTube in China!! Makes me feel worse!

Will blog more on my Guilin visit later on. I think I'm still not 100% charged yet. Gonna sit back and watch tv for now.

Back & Packing...again

So I was back to Penang on Wednesday evening. It was a great stay at Putrajaya Shangri-La...except for the event that happened when I first checked in. Love the relaxing environment..and they have bathtub that kinda overlooks a nice scenery. Wanted to go for the spa but their slot for couple room is fully booked and they have shortage of messeurs. Too bad.... :( They have an infinity edge swimming pool with nice scenery..again..but i don't swim. Ugh! Will definitely choose to stay again if I'm ever going there again.

Will upload the photos later on. Cos now i need to go pack for Guilin, China. Flying to LCCT tomorrow to stay one night and off to China on early Monday morning.

Arrived in Putrajaya

In Putajaya now. Checked in Putrajaya Shangri-La yesterday. Clarence got this award from the ministry and he had to attend this award ceremony. But its not open to public and they're not allowed to bring family. Which is why I'm stuck in the room right now, blogging. Doesn't sound too bad right? I'm not a fan to formal speeches, you know..

Yesterday's schedule was kinda tight. We landed at KLIA around noon. Then rushed to makan. We didn't know what to get, so I suggested the most common one...McD! One thing I hate is to walk from one end to the other and KLIA is not small! By the time we reached the hotel, its already 1PM. He had to be at the venue for rehearsal at 2PM.

I notice the door lock didn't seem to be working so I thought I'd just latched it. A moment later, I was enjoying the tv when I suddenly heard a loud sound from the entrance. Seems like the housekeeping person was trying to come in to replace my hairdryer and I guess he thought no one was in. Luckily I latched the door.

Then, I checked the doorbell and it WASN'T WORKING! Nowonder la....! Technicians came after complain made and couldn't repair the lock as they needed to replace it with new one. Requested to change room and got it. Hee!! I wouldn't like that kind of surprise..! No girl left alone would like that!

Our Debut

First Personal Portrait

This morning I went out for a brief photo shoot session to test out my D90. It was my first time doing outdoor personal portrait too. Still need to learn how to adjust my settings correctly. Luckily I still manage to get quite a few nice shoot. At least to my eyes they are nice... :P

Thanks to my lovely god sis who is willing to be my first victim ..Hee!

Me Afternoon

Why is it that Penang's bookstore so slow in getting the latest magazines? I mean not all magazine but a few of the one I monthly look forward to. Sighs...kinda disappointed when i couldnt find Digital Camera Magazine in Borders.

So I ended up preparing for my tea time.

JCO Donuts!!!!! Heeee! Been having donuts craving recently...

OKAY...gonna go enjoy my donuts with coffee!

EMO me

Last night I was so emo...dont know what got into me. I just didnt want to do anything or talk to anyone.

Probably because i was tired. Woke up this morning feeling a bit better. Will blog again later.

Ciao!

Gossip Girl

I just bought Gossip Girl's first season. Watching as i type this. Okok, i know i'm outdated. VERY outdated!

Well, why suddenly decided to watch?

Nothing in particular. Was wandering in the dvd store and thought of watching something. Saw Gossip Girl and thought i might watch it since it was like in the top list of most of my girlfriends....quite a while back. Heee!

Ok gotta get back to my show. Its 10 something at night and raining. Niceee!!!!

My New...erm..hobby?

Recently I found a new interest...LOMOGRAPHY. Got my first lomo camera in April and been into it ever since. I've always love photography but never got a chance to venture into it that much. Earlier was because I was still in college and film don't come cheap to me. Then when i started working in 2006, I managed to buy myself a compact digital camera which is Nikon P2.

Golden Half Chelsea Maika Edition

Nikon P2

After that, i was caught up with some stuff that i nv really have the time to go out that much. Infact, not much time for anything at all. Hardly have time for myself. Didnt exactly what I want until this year. Where i actually have the time to sit down and think about alot of things. And lucky to be more financially stable to be able to let me explore in my interest.

Yea I'm talking abt 'investing' in my hobby. Nikon's D90 is the most expensive camera I bought for myself. I've always wanted a DSLR but never had the luck to own one. I'm still playing around experimenting it. I've had a SLR back in college but that was film camera. Forgot all my lessons that i've learned on using a SLR back then. =P

Hope i could fermiliarize with it soon. At the same time, I'm still into Lomography. Gotta be occupied for a while. Hee!!

OKOK! I got diverted. I intended to actually blog about lomography and my discovery in this entry. Maybe I'll do it in my next entry. Dont wanna sound too long winded in an entry.

Beijing in June 2009

My second trip to China. This time we went to Beijing. Clarence had conference there that he wanted to attend. We went around alot by ourselves using the subway. Luckily it has got english written on their directory. If not sure lost!

At the famous Great Wall (Mutianyu). Walk for half day and i ended up getting suntanned.

We went for the famous Peking Duck. The whole meal costed both of us more than 600yuan(RM300)! Can you imagine one bowl of rice is 50yuan!!!!!! The rice made of gold mehh?!?! Another thing, was Pizza Hut there serves pork meat! Tasted gooood!!! Much better than the ones you can get here! AND we went to the street with lots of stalls selling bugs, scorpions and etc... ON STICKS! Like satay.

But overall the trip is great! I really wish I could walk the Great Wall for the second time.

Feeling kinda sleepy and tired now. Will update again on Beijing!

One Year

I was browsing through my old entries.

W O W !!

I suddenly feel like altho its been only a year but it seems like a lot of things happend.

During my last few entries, I was a jobless person (I still am), looking forward to my first time to China (still am right now but its my 3rd time!). Heeee!

Lets see...my last update was 25th May 2009...I was already getting lazier to update then. I'll try my best this time. :P

I'M STILL ALIVE!

Yea, I'm still alive.


I know I haven't been blogging for a while. Wait...not 'a while' but 'a YEAR'! GOSH!! Time flies...


I think I'll be needing some time to to actually think back the 'happennings' during this 1 year of disappearance.
