Miss Veet 2009 - contest

I was there to try out some photo shooting. But it started late and I didn't get any of them.

Below is where they walk.

I was expecting to take some girls with beautiful legs. But this is what I have got.

There are still more opportunities. The only question, will I be shooting sharp?

Seagull - my new wrist watch

The un-open box, it is made of wood. The finishing is glossy, gave the feel of high quality. But this top half of the box does not aligned with the bottom half. It is on purpose so that the box can be opened?

In side the box, a manual in chinese and a wooden pin is provided. The wooden pin is to adjust the date. My surprise is, this is provided in a China Made watch but not in a Swiss Made watch that I purchased for my wife few years back. This shows the manufacturer of Seagull is particular. Definitely makes me look highly on this watch.
There goes the button to adjust the date. This is where the wodden pin is used.






The back of the watch is a see-through, where the rotor is displayed with other gears. The model of the watch is printed on the glass. Four screws are used to hold the back cover. This is my first time seeing this way of locking the back cover on a automatic watch.

On the crown, there is a letter "S" lightly embosed. The leather straps are hold by screws on both sides.

On the dial, arabic numeral is used. It is black and flat, it seems to be placed on the dial surface. The dial surface have little pyramids as pattern. Retrograde date, power reserve and a flywheel. I have been eyeing on this watch for some time. At last I have it with me. And the best part, it is presented to me.

Genting Highlands Trip

I was there for a family gathering. On arrival we went straight to the outdoor theme park. Ticket already purchased. Price is priceless as it was free.
There goes the turning thing, merry-go-round?? I ride this thing with my son. It feels funny being on that thing at this age. What choice do I have.

There he goes. He did not look happy. Either he is worried or... I can't think of anything else.



This is one event I cannot get my son on. As his height does not allow him on it. Quite the number of people lining up for it.

There it goes, flinging human in the air. I am sure it is fun, wish I was on it. Actually, I have tried it in over the sea, in a theme park. This one is a bit quiet. The one I have tried, has a human asking the flinging human to response to questions, like "you want more", then the reply in unison "yes!!".

Kids, my son and his cousins. This was at the one of the entrance. This is an interesting place for the kids. Of course with guidance.

Saw this tricycle, it was for show. At that point of time I was separated from the group. Me with the stroller and camera in hand. It was a challange to push the stroller with one hand, as the stroller is quite heavy.

Lake, where you get to take a "boat" ride. Instead of using hands to row the boat, the legs are in action. Cycle your life to go some where. There are people getting the boats side by side and cycle. Should have to a shot of that.

Theme park view from the hotel room. I was staying in the First World Hotel. I was taken aback for not knowing this hotel is having the most rooms in the world. Gotta kick me in the ass.

Red color bus from London? Hmm.. must be true, since this bus is quite old. The door to inside the bus is closed. Hmm.. what is inside the bus? Teleportation to London? Hehehe...

A mini caterpillar train. Took a ride in it, curious what is around the theme park. Mainly for my son to enjoy it.

A big battery on a wall of a building. Saw this earlier and wanting to photo it. But got a better view from the caterpillar train. This must be powering the building behind it.

A view from the caterpillar train, without the train I can't picture this.

A space shuttle? Till now I still didn't get it, Why I was not there to have a peep what is inside. Sorry folks! Search the net please.

"Wow! Make way! Make way!" or was it "Help! Mommy where are you?!" Hmm.. I was letting go the opportunity to play this. A very lousy reason is, my son is with me.

Bonsai

" From here I grow again..."

After some days, which I can't recalled how many days have past, new leaves grow. Just looking at it, we as human get to do the same. Of course not our human parts. If I fall, I can always start at some point and continue. (update 16-08-08)

Hmm.. till today I still can't remember why I started this hobby.

Before I did some pruning on the tree. I prepare the turn table, which I got it from IKEA. Can't remember how much I spend on it. Used newspaper to collect the unwanted leaves. Start with enthusiasm. After hours...



There goes the tree after pruning. This I learned from the sifu. But I still lacked the skill to get it to the look I preferred. I did not totally removed all the leaves. The reason is I am lazy. It is quite a tedious work. Stopped few hours, then continued.. and it is getting late...

But it is a healthy hobby. And you get to do additional work, that is watering the tree. Many says it is the old people hobby. So they will give negative comments. "So young do this thing ar.."

My Fish

my gold fish... started not long ago. the only difficulty would be how long will this fish survive. given he/she expensive food, which stated on the pack should help the fish lives better. at this moment I have only one. was looking for another one to spent time with the fish. Couldn't find the one I like.

My collection

I have been crazy about time piece for sometime. Above is my new addition. With it's low price, and quality finishing, I am glad I am one of the owner. This watch is mechanical, no battery is required but it relies on human energy. The watch is skeletonised, where most of the mechanical parts can be viewed. The box looks like it is made of wood, actually it is something hard but not wood, more like a plastic. Looking at the box, I was surprised it look this good. This watch tells time, of course it does, besides that, it tells the date, the day and 24 hours. The brand is printed on the watch. The model is AR100. It is good that in Malaysia have this. I am hoping more watches similar to this is brought into Malaysia too.

Chinese New Year 2008

I was taking a monorail from Raja Chulan station to KL Sentral Station. While passing Berjaya Time Squares complex, I saw a hugh lion head that is similar to those used in Lion Dance. This prompted me to decide a photo shooting to capture this spectacular Lion Head at this size.
Few days later... Of I went to Berjaya Time Squares complex. This was located in the building facing the main entrance. Celebrating Chinese New Year and welcome patrons.

Happy Chinese New Year!!! to all...

Bala's Holiday Get Away in Cameron Highlands

I was in Cameron Highlands for holidays last month. Bala's Chalet was one of the place I visited. It was located between Tanah Rata and Brinchang town.
This place look similar to Smoke House. The only thing about Smoke House is that you can see it from the main road. One have to be watching for sign board to go to Bala's. It provide rooms and dinings. My purpose there was for tea and scones. It is a good place for scones. I have tasted their apple pie too. It is yummy. That is the main entrance.
There goes the sign post giving the direction within Bala's compound. With this sign post, one knows where to go. But how many will noticed.
This is the right wing when facing the entrance.
In front of the right wing is a garden where I had my tea.

I left a foot print with him jumping around. hehehe..
