Untitled, again

When I saw this...

I went into this place.

It's the Penang Khoo Kongsi.

Do I look handsome?

Yeah, I think so. LOL

His first CNY

This little fella celebrated his first ever CNY at his age as young as 3 months, and he started to enjoy the joyful atmosphere surrounded him. New cloth for him, happy faces all around him, and to our surprise, he didn't get shocked when a fire cricket exploded.


Not only me and my wife is happy, my parent is happy too. Ee Young was so enjoying himself looking at everyone while we were having our re-union dinner.

He was too young to have his own space around the table. Next year, I believe, he will be old enough to have his own space in the table.

Time do fly. I still feel that the moment when Ee Young was born was just happened last week, and now he is almost 4 months old already.

Indeed I am getting older as well....

It's Valentine's Day

The highly commercially polluted Valentine's Day is around the corner. It's a day of love, and because of the commercial pollution, everything is so expensive on that day!

I had never celebrate Valentine's Day before. Not even I was young and was at the age of "dare to do anything" teenager. Sure lah, because I am not a handsome boy in school, not popular in school, and I am a shy boy that too shy to talk to girls. So, even I met one girl that really took my heart away, I was so scared and never had a gut to approach her even to say hi. Then I graduated from highschool alone. Sad story.

Then come to the time where I get into an University. People always say, I will spend my best time during my uni life. So, I was so excited when I got to know I had been accepted into USM. Not bad right, USM ? The most beautiful Uni in South East Asia, and so near to my house. I should be happy, right ? But no. The Engineering Campus is not located in Penang, but it's in an ex-tin mining town of Tronoh, a small town that is so small that it has only 2 streets and 6 rows of pre-war shops. The campus was solely for engineering courses, and you know lar, how many girls study engineering course ? Very few, right ? So, wanna find girlfriend there ? I better be a very very popular guy in the campus for me to be get notice, or I would just spend my whole uni life alone again.

The "competition" in the campus was tough ! Too many demands, but too few supplies. And I did not made myself popular enough, so, alone again for the whole uni life. So, no Valentine's day celebrations.

Until I left Uni, and came out to work, then I met my girl friend who is my pen-pal for many many years, and we started dating, doing heart-to-heart talk, got electicized and get married, and now as a result of "getting together", we have this young fella who has become our biggest "spot light", reminding us not to nauthy at night ! LOL

Well, it's a Valentine's Day. Love is in the air, and we should glorify love. Love brings us all toghether, and love bring us harmony and love keep us happy all the time.

So, Happy Valentine's Day lar.

How I am gonna celebrate it? First thing to do of course I need to find a baby sitter. LOL

A life time project.

This is the "by-product" of the minute second of organism. He took 9 months to travel along the production line. What a miracle to see a life that can be created in such a way. Nature is really something that I can not imagine how it works. All those biological thing is always makes me come out in goose flesh. I tried to explain all this scientifically, but I couldn't resist myself to avoid the great work from the God. He who create this world must be a great architect of life, a great scientist, and of course a great engineer.

And now, here he is, the finest product from both me and my wife, a none-stop hand and leg moving little fella, doing nothing but sleep eat and demand for attention all time long.

It is so amazing that he has his own thinking and his own behaviour. This is again something that is kinda difficult to be understandable for someone like me who study too many equations and work with logical thinking. How unlogic that he uses one cell from me, and merge with another cell from his mother, but he is a totally different individual from both of us.



Looking at him exploring his surrounding with his total curious eye is so enjoyable. Getting his respond to my calling is the best thing of the whole hard day work. And looking at him sleeping soundly in his bed making me want to protect him and to teach him to become a useful man.

And this will be my life time project. Will he become someone useful or not is now a burden to myself. Educating him will be our main priority now, and nothing will be more important than this.

So, how? I pose better than he did in his Paris post, right? LOL

I was bored.....

And I don't have super hot babe friend as he does to do shooting, so, I dig into my store room and found some filters. No hot babe, so I shoot filters lor! LOL

I am not a fan of filters. I don't understand what a filter can do since the lenses are coated already? The only one thing that filters are useful is to protect the lenses from knocking by others. So, when one day on a shooting day, so no luck someone knock onto the lens, and the first thing to break is the filter, but not the lens.

And then, raised one question: how low quality the filter has to be so when the knocking incident happen and I will not be heart breaking? Once I got one super cheap Taiwan made UV filter which came free when I bought my first ever DSLR, the legendary Sony A100. The filter is so thick that it creates a noticeable vignetting effect to all my photos, and thin filters are not cheap though. Breaking a RM 100++ filters are as heart broken as breaking a RM 1,000++ lens.

Another question raised: I was told by others in order not to get fungus to for the lens, the lens need to be exposed to UV light from the Sun so to kill all the fungus. So, with a UV filter on, will the UV light from the sun kill the fungus?

So, how?

My suggestion is: don't bring the expensive DSLR to the place where pack crowd is expected. By this, I have no worry my lens kena knock, no worry someone will curi my camera and no need to carry that huge and heavy camera just for some candid shots. Right ?

So, this round, I declare lost in the battle, because I don't have hot babes to shoot. LOL

1st By the way, these filters are for sale. Reason of selling: no lens for these filters mar. LOL

2nd By the way, what does a skylight filter do ?

Must Eat when in Penang !

My favourite food so far. It's the Hokkien prawn mee! To be frank, this is the food that able to "pull" me back to Penang. I should never leave Penang without having one of this delicious local food.

I am proud to be "spoiled" by Penang food. :P
