iPod Touch 32GB

I was thrilled to have received the iPod Touch 32GB last Friday from the company. It's definitely a nifty piece of gadget. Then I started to wonder.. I first got the iPod Nano 4GB as a birthday present. Simply loving it, it's small, I can watch video on it, it's a wonderful piece of device that keeps me entertained in the office and before I hit the sacks. Love it so much that I got myself an iPhone 8GB a few months later.. despite the iPhone's pre-historic phone features and the need to hack it, I still love it for it's innovation. Now I've for the Touch boasting 32GB of storage space with the retail price of RM1,999.00. What should I do with it? Should I sell it? Should I use it? Should I give it away(don't think this is an option I'd opt for)? I'm so undecided that it's still unopened! And it's Sunday already!

Temporary bragging rights..

Shell KSC 20080523 at Uniten

Personally I ain't active in any sort of sports since I left high school. Today I 'kepoh' and joined me fellow Foxproians (We are divided into 4 teams, Foxpro is the one painted in orange) at Uniten for the running and long jump event. I bet you guessed my presence. Armed with the 40D I submitted myself to 3 hours of voluntary torture under the hot sun.

This is Leng Chye, star of the opening ceremony..


My first time trying to shoot sports and I was way boggled on what settings I should use, etc. Good thing that there were quite a few rounds so I had ample chances to practice. I finally learned and understand more how the AF modes work, Single Shot, AI Focus, AI Servo. Learning these of course meant a lot of missed fotos, unusable fotos and frustration haha!

None of the panning I attempted came out to my liking. I tried n I tried..



What's most beautiful in sports, imho is the team spirit. The cheers! The Hurrays!


And of course the victory hug..


Babe attack! Watch out..


Altho it was freaking hot, I had a good time taking fotos.. watching the contestants ruuuUUUuuun.. the supporters screaming.. also trying to discourage the competitor.. it's the whole package!

I am a survivor..

My bones you may break, my head you may have,
My will shall not break, neither will my faith.

Lost in Thoughts

The mind goes wary, it then floats without a direction, unconscious for a moment..

And then.. whoops I jut wasted a few puffs..

Burnt Wheels

wa black smoke..

something's burning.. car?

-drives by a burning Honda Civic facing the other direction-

darn I wish I had my camera..

-gets back home, grabs camera and departs-

~across the road safe from traffic~

20 minutes later, nothing else to burn..


A common sight where a tow truck is ever ready.. This time, the fler kept a nice distance..


Onlookers causing a pretty nasty crawl.. as usual..


30 minutes passed, no sight of help.. Behind where I was standing are 2 petrol stations.. Danger? Remotely, as they were perhaps 50 meters away.. They should have efficient fire extinguishers and whatever needed to put out a small fire.. But?

To the left.. something else' burning! But I ain't got the mood to hunt..

Car Wash

Cheap car wash, a place most of us frequent. Of course we have better places that comes with a price.

Look right truh.. and you shall see.. another car wash.. opposite.. what's better for the consumers than competition?


Look at the attention my ride got..


The price?


So I walked away with RM10.00 less in my wallet, with a spanking clean car, without breaking a sweat..

Pretty tough work for RM10.00 duncha think?

Bound by Chains

The chill of steel, binding me and my buddies. The feel of freedom, lost.



A typical view of industrial gas tanks behind a restaurant. Without the chains and housing, these tanks will be stolen overnight. Even chained, some get stolen regardless.

Babe! 12 o'clock!

Spontaneous, heart crackling, mind boggling are just some terms we could use to describe a baby's expressions and moves. Catching the moment on a photo is a task that requires tonnes of patience and you'll notice many golden moments slip by. It would help if you're naturally good with kids, which I'm not..

Life's a mystery

Life.. a mystery so alluring.. here we see a small tree making it's way into the world.. little does it know, the chaos and cruelty that lays ahead.. that the world has to offer..


Did you imagine, this tree is making it's way into the world.. on a car's bonnet? What seems like an abandoned car..

Mounted with the 580EX II flashgun, it's h3aVy! Time to work the muscles.. Photos will follow..

ngap~ ngap~

It's wonderful to see how pecking order in the animal kingdom works. Heck but it's shitty to see it happening anywhere else in the human order.

The center duck is the 'tai kor' the other four followed where ever the lead went without question(this I assume coz I don't quite speak duck language ;-))

The Art of Drooling
