Video Blog?

Been thinking lately about doing a Vlog (Video Blog). Not sure what it's going to be about, but would mostly be about what I know. It might be a tutorial video on basics of photography, or might be IT related. But really thinking about it a lot lately. So, until I really do decide to do it, for now, I'm going to concentrate on my photography.

Do let me know what you think.

Stutong Nature Park Trip

Since I was in Primary school, My family and I was staying in a housing area at Tabuan Laru. And somewhere from Tabuan Laru heading to Muara Tabuan Light Industrial Area, There's a Nature park where anyone and everyone can go for a jog, to walk and enjoy the nature or go for some natural reflexology treatment. Used to go there for a jog during my Taekwando days. And it's been roughly a year since I've been there. Yesterday, me and my wife decided to go there and visit the park again since the last time we went there, my wife was pregnant, and she couldn't go for the reflexology walk since it was not recommended for pregnant woman. So, we went there with our Daughter Momo to go for the walk while I took some pictures. It was fun! I admit that I didn't finish the full round but 2 out of 3 parts of the course was not bad indeed.

You can't use your shoes or slippers when you walk the course

The toughest path

Check out them rocks!

Now that we've done it and loving every second of it, we're planning to do this at least twice a week. Come on over and try it yourself! It's great for your body. And just trying to stand the pain is more than enough of a workout for me than any other exercise!

Today Went Bad....

Today Was a fine day,
Went to work,
Go to TAZA (Auditoriun Tun Ahmad Zaidi Adruce),
Go to Rajah Court....


Then It went BAD...

My Life In 16:9 Wide

These few days have been a bit of a bummer for me. It's nothing that bad. It's just that it's been a while since I've been out on a photography outing. Some part of it I have to say that it's a sacrifice I need to make to concentrate more on my family, study and work. But it also gives me a way to think outside my usual self and maybe improve myself in the process.

One of the way was having fun shooting what I have with me everyday. Doesn't matter if it's at work or at home or during class. One of my main model is of course my beautiful daughter Momo and my Wife. And I've also start to see things in the places around me that are quite unique to photograph.

And I've also started to love the 16:9 wide images that my camera can produce. So, during that one day a few days ago, I got these pics. and best of all, the White Balance is spot ON for once!

What I recently got for my cameras.

My Beautiful Wife.

And in the office, this is how I make my Nescafe.

Baby Kailan In Pictures

Just to let some know, I love to cook at home. It's not to say that I'm great at cooking, but I can say that it's edible. At least there's no complaints so far from my wife. 2 nights ago, we went out to buy some Vegetables and some Chicken meats for dinner. What we bought were some eggplants and some Baby Kailans. I'n not sure what's it called in English though I'm pretty sure the baby part is in English. And while cooking, I decided to take some pictures to walk you through some of the steps in preparing the ingredients and cooking it. So, without further a due, here goes.


1. Ingredients.

4 piece of Garlic, 2 piece of Red Onions and some chillies (depending on taste. not compulsory). All Sliced.

And Not Forgetting 200gm of Baby Kailan!

2. Cooking.

1st off, we heat up the wok. To dry it up.

Then, Pour some roughly 1 ml of cooking oil and heat it up. Not too hot, or it will overcook the ingredients.

When the cooking oil is nice and hot, pour in the ingredients. And cook it till you can smell the onions and garlic cooking.

Then, put in the Baby Kailan. Stir it and mix it with the already cooking ingredients and then when you can start to smell the Kailan cooking, pour in about 1/2ml of hot/warm water to slow cook it and let the flavor seep into the Kailan. 

After that, add in 5-6ml of Oyster Sauce for the yummy oyster sauce flavor.

Then, give it a little taste, and if the flavor is not enough, just add in some Salt and Ajinomoto to add to the flavor. Then leave it to cook while keeping it closed for roughly 3-5 minutes. You don't want to cook it too long because then the Kailan would be soft and mushy. After 5 minutes, give it another taste test. And when the flavor is good enough FOR YOU, then, it's ready to be served! :D

A reminder though, the ingredients I've mentioned earlier are depending on your own taste. It's not by any means exact. And remember to have fun while you're cooking! :D I always do.

Need to SLOW DOWN...

Good Afternoon to one and to all. After reading through a fellow photographer's book and blog, It made me remember that I haven't been updating much at all in my blog. It's not that I'm going to close down my blogger account. In fact, I'm more likely to subscribe to it. But, that's another story.

A lot has happened throughout the whole 4th Quarter of last year when I went AWOL. And most of it would actually change my life and my way of living. But, all is good as the changes would really put my life on the right path.

One of it is that I'm finally getting my 1st Degree! Bachelor of Information Technology with Honors. Already starting my first semester. Really feel proud of myself because I took the first step to a better future for me and my family.

And somehow, lately, I have been really feeling the effects that everybody has been talking about when it comes to studying while working. My social life and time for personal hobby and side jobs have to be really cut down into half. And that means that I need to do things WITH planning first. Which is totally new for me. But is a good thing. A good way to get my life and priorities straight and organized.

Now, what I need to do is to get my Schedules straight to accommodate enough time for my photography (taking photos and editing before handing them out) and my family. Not to mention for skateboarding. Things are going to be tight from now on.

Going online to do things like Facebook, Forums, Clubs and not forgetting uploading photos needs to be cut down as well. I now seriously want to concentrate more on photography, studies and family. Need to stop gaming on Facebook too. It's taking half of my time daily. Maybe leave some for my wife to handle. She loves those games. It's her way to chill and cool down after work.

So, main point I mean to send here is that i'm going to up this blog as much as I can with whatever I can. Take Care.
