I am out again ... Memories of Klang

YES!! I AM OUT FINALLY!!

After staying home for almost a week, I found I am rusty inside. No working and no outing, merely sleep and eat and shit ....

Well, this is a no choice situation. I have a period of M.C for 10 days after I decided to remove one important organ in my body .... What !!?

WHAT!! REMOVAL OF BODY'S ORGAN !! 

YEAP!! I just gone through an operation to remove my body's organ. I keep it as secret first until I am prepare to blog about it .... hehehehehe ... thank for your concern, I am fine now and after 10 days of resting and "rusty" at home. I am planing to go out for some shootings .... 

It is fun to have street shooting and my photography buddies have been going out almost every week, I am so envious ...

Today, they're going for street shooting at Klang, I guess it is a fun trip and for sure, they will enjoy some famous Bak Ku Teh in Klang. However, after my operation, I couldn't walk too much so I didn't join them. I will join them for lunch only. At least to de-stress a bit after long stay at home.

Hai!! Since I couldn't make it, so I refresh my memories about this place by checking some old photos taken during my last trip to Klang ...

A boy that I meet in Klang, I was using my EPL2 with Pentax CCTV lens to capture him. I specially like this one because of the bokeh and the 3D feel.

As for the rest of the photo, I can't remember what lens that I use during that time. 

I remember the shooting ground was near to the KTM Keretapi Train Station ... this shot was taken on the rail

It was a wet morning due to the heavy rain last night. I have the opportunity to shoot some refection photo and I like this .. I like this as it turned my friend upside down. Hahaha

In Klang, the obvious landmark that most people will shoot is the Klang's famous Mosque with the "Golden Big Onion" roof ... 

In Klang, you can find many bridges but this bridge (don't know the name) is one of the popular one as it can overseeing the famous mosque. At the under-layer of the bridge were used by motorbikes and bicycles. 

Haha!! Let check out the funny fellow showing off his popular famous split legs ballerina act. Brovo, Yeow. 

Hahahaha.

I think the above photo is too small, so I crop to make it bigger ... LOL

 ke! ke! ke! ke!

Wow .. I believe my photo buddies are in Klang now shooting ... this photo remind me of their fun side.

On top of the bridge .. you can find nice landscaping for people to relax and hang around.

Not far from the bridge, if you travel further, you will end up at the Little India of Klang.

How can I missed out shooting people at the street?... taken photo of people is a must in street shooting ... don't worry, people at the Little India are Super Friendly.

People there are friendly and easy interacting with them. Look at this Indian brother ... he can't resist and wanted to take photo with our cameras ... hahahaha

Look at KY... Don't know what made him so happy ....

Not far from the Little India, you can find Mosques, Chinese and Indian Temple and Church.

 

the Chinese temple .....

and also an India Temple ...

Ops ... forgot to take the photo lah .... 

hehehehe

After a hard day of shooting .... I have to end the trip earlier as I have another appointment (Actually Visa is expiring), I leave my friends behind and they continue their photowalk. Hahahaha!!

Before I leave, we sit down in a nearby store to have some drinks.

Wow, how wonder of memory!! ... photography is the best way of bringing back old memories ... it reminds us the fun time we had for a long-long time. 

That one Chinese Proverb saying....

"Looking at the Plum to stop the Thirst" 

Hahaha ... Although today I couldn't join them for the photowalk at Klang, but by writing this blog, it was like time traveling and bringing me back the old memories of my photowalk in Klang. 

Hahaha... 

Ops .... it is getting late, I will meet them for lunch later... better leave now, otherwise, I will be late ....

bye and see you next round.

THE END.

3 things in life

I just received an email from a friend who share some meaningful thoughts. I want to share with all of you.

When the Snake is alive, the Snake eats Ants.
When the Snake is dead, Ants eat the Snake.
Time can turn at any time.
Don't neglect anyone in your life........!
 
Never make the same mistake twice,
There are so many new ones,
Try a different one each day.
 
A good way to change someone's attitude is to change our own.
Because, the same sun melts butter and also hardens clay!
Life is as we think, so think beautifully.
 
Life is just like the sea, we are moving without end.
Nothing stays with us, what stays with us are just memories of some people who touched us as waves.
 
Do you want to know how rich you are?
Never count your currency, just drop a Tear and count how many hands reach out to WIPE that - that is true richness.
Never change your originality for the sake of others.
No one can play your role better than you.
So be yourself, because whatever you are, YOU are the best.
 
A baby mosquito came back after flying the first time.
His dad asked him "How do you feel?"
He replied "It was wonderful, Everyone was clapping for me!"
Now that’s what is called,

More Portraiture Shots (Part 2)

I think many of my Pen Lovers' friends are suffering over-dose of Liang Lui (beautiful lady) symptom, this is because too much of Liang Lui photo in the facebook or blog, consequences of the Photo walk session with Liang Lui model organized by Olympus Malaysia on last Saturday in conjunction with the release of Olympus M.Zuiko 75mm f1.8 lens.

After the event, literary hundred over photos of many beautiful models were being posted in the facebook, flickr, google+ and many more. Imagine with six models assigned to six groups and every group has about 6-7 person, you can imagine how many photos will be posted in the internet? 

For more detailed event information of this photo walk, please check out my previous post. You will find one liang lui there with many photos. 

But today, I decided to "show hand" .... kekekekeke

I decided to share all the beautiful girls in my camera card to all of you ...

The first one is Winnie, I believe you know her very well now if you read my previous blog post.

After Winners I also quickly took some photo of other models in nearby group. Unfortunately, I couldn't take all of them.

I managed to took some Berry Bee's photo which I love it so much. At that time, the windy breeze is blowing and her hair flowing in the air, she is so beautiful and her genuine smile expression was so pleasant and you can felt the joy in her ..... 

Below are some of my favorite collections of Berry's photo.

 

 

 

Nice, isn't it ?

Beside Winnie and Berry, I only took a few photos of other models. 

Here you are, photo of Jun Lim ....

Then, before the session end, I quickly dashed to the side to take another few photos of other model. 

They are so beautiful but unfortunately did not have the opportunity.

Ah !! Maybe I shouldn't be too greedy ... always got "Next Time" mah.

First Time Modeling Portraiture Shots

To be honest, I have done street shooting, still object and macro photography before but I never-never had done any modeling shooting before. (If don't believe, check my photo album in FB)

Off course taking photo of beautiful ladies "got-lah" (better said like that, otherwise all the “beautiful” ladies that I had taken photo before would throw shoe to me .. kekekeke), but I never had a chance of shooting so called professional model that willing to pose for me while I am taking their photos. 

But, Last Saturday (21 July 2012) was my lucky day … hahaha 

Thank to Olympus Malaysia and the Pen Lovers group(a group that love camera PEN or M4/3 in FB) founder Koon Yik for initiated a photo walk session in downtown Kuala Lumpur in conjunction with the new release of Olympus M.Zuiko 75mm f1.8 lens. 

When I arrived to the gathering spot, it was already crowded with many professional photographers and photography enthusiasts (hehehe, I think I fall under the enthusiasts category only). Everyone was happily mingle around to catch up or gossiping with one another. Most talk subject was the newly launch Olympus OMD EM-5 camera.

Wow, I notice from far got a few liang luis (beautiful ladies) seated nearby …. 

“Come come come and see, got liang lui woh ..” I said to a friend, “let walk near them to shoot some shots” I suggested. 

“Hahaha!!” my friend laughed at me “Why so Kang Cheong lah (in hurry), later we got plenty of time to take their photos…..” 

Stupid-me!!, then I realized they are the models of Olympus Malaysia getting for today event …. 

"Wow!! … not so bad man" i shouted, I felt excited suddenly, luckily I did not get any nose bleed then .. hahahaha 

It was a beautiful sunny Saturday; we have divided into six groups, lead by a leader and headed to 6 different directions. Each group was given one OMD with 75mm lens to test. However, being not getting “Poison”, sorry to Olympus Malaysia that I did not take the opportunity to use the lens. I still using my faithful shooting partner, Pen EPL2 with M.Zuiko 45 MM Lens. 

We were lucky that Winnie was assigned to us. Her beautiful look was just like an innocent neighborhood shy-shy girl … 

She shyly ask us what pose we would like her to pose .. Oh My Gosh, being a first timer, I kind of hesitate and lost, luckily our leader Chun Chow gave her some tips …. then we started our journey of shooting model.

Then, the scenario of a bunch of men chasing after a pretty girl at the busiest street of Bukit Bintang came into picture(hahaha)

Many people stunned and open their mouths big-big thinking some sort of movie star having photo session at the street. 

It was quite fun …… 

Then, two Quai Lou (western tourist) saw that, they cannot resist her temptation and they were sportingly joined in ... 

After we have warmed up, our model turned proactive, from a shy-shy girl becoming a professional model. She was so good and sporting, she pose professionally and accommodate our demanding requests. She was gracefully accepted our challenges and gave the best of herself …. 

Winnie deserves a round of applause. 

I still remember we were so excited giving “instruction”, suddenly, don’t know who the idiot, said out “let show a look of angry but happy face …

Kakakakaka !! Hey, how to do a look of angry but happy face … 

Walaueh, this also can ah!!? 

so we told her to imagine thinking about buying the expensive branded bag and the boy friend hesitated to buy, what should be the look .... hahaha

Look how she did it ...

kakaka, this is how an angry but happy face look like .. LOLs

I think she is telling us that she is tired and need a rest... so we let her to sit down for a while ....

Bukit Bintang locatedd at the Golden Triangle in downtown Kuala Lumpur, it is an awesome place for photo shooting .... nevertheless, we do encounter some stupid and unhappy moments with so called "authorized" personnel from the shopping mall come and disturb us, both the fahrenheit and Pavilion security guards came out to chase us away. I think both Management of this two places had gone overboard, no doubt the walkway surrounding to the shopping mall is their so called "claimed" ownership, but what wrong for people taking photo over there? (We are not taking photo in the mall, which we usually see a no camera sign sticker at the entrance). We are not obstructing the traffic neither nor we are blocking any people to walk by. In fact those photo that we took will carry their brand names, we in fact doing indirectly publicity and marketing of their shopping mall to the World. Furthermore, the shopping mall is full of tourists, how can you stop people taking photos .... 

Stupid!! sorry of my language

Even you tell me is for the commercial reason that stop people spying or stealing some business ideas / design etc ....come on, you better fire your Marketing Manager, only cheap people can think of the cheap way!!!

I really don't understand this type of narrow and brain-less mentality management? Shame on you !!

Nevertheless, we still managed to took some nice photos with Winnie at the "forbidden city".

Wow, it was a awesome day, without long, two hours have passed very fast, so we quickly finished a few shots with one demanding request to get our Winner to do a jump shot with her high heel. Hahaha

Look at this, she managed quite well with her jump shot. 

Thank you, Winnie, for becoming model of our group. I do enjoy all the shooting with you :)

We also have a few beautiful models there, so far I only taken a few photos of Berry but not the others, due to limited in time, I only see them from far but didn't have the opportunity to "Kacau" (interact with) them with my camera. 


Well, maybe later I can post a few shots of Berry but now ... Wow, so late liao ... time to sleep, tomorrow (ops... rather today) I have to work .... 

See you girls next time ...

bye bye ......

The end. 

(ops, hope not the end, to be continue)

hahahahaah....
