Halloween 2010

Yours truly attended the Halloween party held @ Bora Asmara... It's more of like a friend gathering thingy than and out and out party.
Now what can this concoction be? Am I drinking some blood and what IS that whitish thingy? Ewwwwwww... but yummy and sweet! And I ain't telling! :P
"Yes. I can 'feel' the force coming through me. Tell me, what do you want to know of the future. I will reveal all for you?"
So is the world ending by 2012 as stated?
"How do I know? Can't you see that I'm high from those candies???"
"What do you think? Shall we go out for a meal?"
Decisions, decisions, DECISIONS. I tell you being a Countess is not all work out to be!
All together now...
Oh yeah. I'm er... Jaime, I seriously have no idea what you're suppose to be? Rock star? Vampire?
If you're a vamp, you sure have the moves...
"I decided I'll flyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy... or rather, vanish away!"
Zan thinking... hmmm... that cat. Sitting there... hmmmm...

All the Rebels.
That's it folks. Thanks to Jamie, Andi, Rachel, Zan, Kaii and Nanu for an enjoyable time...

Bora Asmara

Bora Asmara. A Balinese theme styled restaurant placed amidst bungalows. A nice quaint little place with a very interesting seating arrangement; like below.

Privacy is something that is easily gotten when you eat here. Not like your usual makan places where at times, having a decent conversation means close to shouting... and yours truly is one that likes to have a certain constant voice level.


One can have a choice of either seating outside, i.e. smoking section (with ceiling fans) or if you don't feel like sweating it out, there are the covered options which entails air-conditioned dining.
Water everywhere... and lighted candles all over the place.
Having the K7 made my shooting life so much easier. More so when one was there until close to midnight and not many lights were still switched on. Lovely, yes?

Food wise, it's ok. You're there more for the ambience than anything else. So how does one get there then? If you have a Garmin Satnav and you're using MalFree, key in Bora Asmara.
General location wise, it's near the Mofaz building opposite Mutiara Damansara.

Else, as they say, Google is your best friend!

Oh, I also forgot, music!

"Oh joy, I'm being serenaded!"
Now this is how to be a buaya! :P

Gowns a choosing

The time has come to choose ma cherie's gowns, be it wedding or dinner for our photoshoots. Basically, we're in a room with... masses of gowns. The sheer number is breathtaking, easily somewhere around 500 maybe?
Ma cherie getting swallowed by the dresses!
The evening gowns that we have narrowed down from the massive number... 14!
And after 90mins for the evening gown, came the wedding gown. Yeah, i'm tired too sweetie...
So that's it. Much as I would like to post pictures of the gowns, one gotta respect privacy of what had transpired last tuesday. Until I get the photo's and the go ahead, you'll just have to be patient! he he

Ma Cherie's Birthday!

It's my darling's birthday TODAY! So happy 26th Birthday sweetheart!

Wishing her many blessings of joy, love with loads of hugs and kisses from her hubby! :)

Buah hati... :)

Fancy a heart shaped pomelo? You'll definitely get lots of lovin'......
And you can say you "opened" a heart! ha ha...

Thunderbirds in Malaysia!

This aerial display team needs no introduction...

1st up, the famous diamond formation.
Flying close
This caught me unware and it was really difficult to shoot because of the masses of people as well your wondering where are they crossing in front!
The famous Thunderbirds design
I point here, you point there... wonder what they were up to?
Coming through...
And crossing right in front!
See...
The diamond formation again.
One of my favourite shots of the day. Getting the way the air flowed over the F-16 was cool. Frankly, I was just trigger happy and didn't know that this had been taken. But it's beautiful anyway...
Upside down...
And turning slowly...
Flying slowly in front of us...

And hitting the afterburners... this another favourites of mine!
Beep beep! Coming through! :P

I purposely darken this shot... it's cool as the trails show the turn...

Corkscrew in front of the sun amd going vertical! Wooooot!
In a straight line...

No... no F-16 exploded but this was interesting how this shot turned out! :)
Passing by...
ANOTHER of one of my favourite shots... Pity about the grey sky. Blue would have been really cool!
Arrowhead formation
Upside down again. But with all 6 of them.
And coming down...
And going up again...
Let's stretch it baby!
And curve it!
And split it all UP!
Tbirds 1-4 doing a flyby. You need to see it in full pix and you'll spot the numbers on the F-16's...
Mirror formation
And that's it! Pity about the sky but it one thinks about it, maybe it's better coz out in the blazing Malaysian hot sun might not be such a great time to be at! But then again, that means no blue sky. Ah well... win some, loose some. But i'm happy over this as this is my 1st time! :)

Gyeongbokgung Palace, National Palace Museum of Korea & Going Home

Just before heading home, we visited this site: Gyeongbokgung Palace. Unfortunately, while it looks nice and sunny, it isn't! It...
