Zunyi Acrobatics Troupe in Kuching

Posted on By sweet surrender 10 Comments on Zunyi Acrobatics Troupe in Kuching

All the photos here were taken with Canon 1000D and Sigma 18-200mm lens. No internal flash or speedlight. The lens got no IS and I got no tripod, my hand shaked a lot! I could only survive with continuous shoots and taken more than 700 photos(if I can recall correctly) and then deleted about 200+ of them on the spot to clear the memory card, then came home filtered again and all I can say is that only 20% or less are OK, the rest all not OK(this benchmark is my own, not according to the pro ;p).

Managed to finish up one battery pack ;p Don’t even ask me what kind of settings I used, I only know I’m using the AV mode and simply adjusted here and there without knowing what I’m adjusting and zooming in and out.

This is my first time handling a DSLR throughout the event with no help. Virgin DSLR experience hahaha…

Zunyi Acrobatics Troupe in Kuching for two days performing at Kuching South City Hall (MBKS) Stadium. Got the tickets free, the tickets were given free to public anyway.

Went to watch it with my family 2 nights ago. Got very “good” spot! We’re late, all the good spots had been taken so we sat area at the backstage. Who to blame? Shouldn’t blame us.

The emcees were very “professional”, they didn’t even bother about the audience at my area. They only interact with the front, left and right. I think less than 3 times they even look over at our direction! Even the performances too. Sigh… So… What you see mostly are people’s butts. *LOL*

Let’s just see photos…

After beating the drums, they started to dance.



So many photos taken and this performance got the most of the good photos because of the lighting(I guess…) and also because they didn’t move much. Not only that, less butts facing us.



Many butts here! Hahaha… They were doing stunts with hats.


This even worst! Almost 98% of the time we looked at their butts.


This one less butts but hard to take photos. Too many jumping up and down. I thought they were mouse but actually they were ants!



This performance is nice but the lightings were bad! Almost all of the photos were screwed. Even I resized till so small the quality is still bad.


Quite a stunt. Managed to take quite a number of OK photos.


Totally screwed! Too dark for anything, movement too fast too.


This is very fast too but at least bright enough.

I didn’t take two of the performances namely the magic performance and juggling. All show butts! Even if not showing butts, just turn to our direction for less than 3 seconds or turining movement too fast for the juggling.

That’s all. Enjoy the photos.

Songs I Used to Sing in Karaoke – Solo Collections

Posted on By sweet surrender 11 Comments on Songs I Used to Sing in Karaoke – Solo Collections

Beware: Lots of videos ahead!!!

Used to… Yea… Because I won’t be singing karaoke in any near future for sure unless there’s people that is willing to go sing with me during office hour coz the person that I used to sing with no longer can do this with me. Why office hour? Coz the air is fresher and if at night, I can’t sing till they close, it will be a waste of money to sing at night for me *LOL* For now, no more karaoke session for me. Will surely miss it. Oh well…

It’s fine for the solo songs if I manage to go with some other people but the thing now is that I have no partner that can duet with me anymore sigh…

Here’s a list of songs that I used to sing whenever I go sing karaoke. Only all the solo songs in this post, others will come in later posts.

This post is meant for my own record and if I feel like singing I can always sing along by playing the videos. Besides that, in case I got offer from people to ask me to go sing with them, I can listen to the songs first so that I can sing better because I usually can’t get the right tune for some parts of all of the songs here, usually I made up my own tune for parts that I’m not sure.

他不愛我 – 莫文蔚

11 Users Simultaneously

Posted on By sweet surrender 4 Comments on 11 Users Simultaneously

I know, it’s only 11 people in my blog at one time, it’s nothing to rave about unlike some people have so many.

This is the first time I have 11 users coming in at the same time with 10 of them from Malaysia. WOW!

It happened that on the day I posted about the RM900K house. However, I’m sure people come in not for the house but for my “naked” photos! Else how to explain the sudden spiked of traffic? Hmm… It was short lived ;p After a while, left 4 visitors *LOL* Luckily I managed to screen capture it, at least it’s a record for me.

Even the time I mentioned that I’m E… didn’t attract so much traffic, the highest was 8 users simultaneously.

Chap Goh Mei 2009

Posted on By sweet surrender 4 Comments on Chap Goh Mei 2009

Yesterday was the last day of CNY. Finally celebration is over, it’s time to go back to reality. For the passed 15 days or so, everyone was so busy welcoming it and celebrating it, many weren’t in the mood to really work and even students didn’t feel like going to school. Next year’s CNY will be on Valentine’s Day. Wonder how will my CNY be next year? The beginning of year doesn’t go very well, hopefully life will be better later in the year. *cross fingers*

I’m going to show your fireworks again! I this will be the last until maybe Hari Raya or Christmas ;p I know some of you got bored of these photos already. What to do? I really got nothing to update and nothing interesting happening. How sad… Let’s see the fireworks.

All common types, nothing special. I saw heart shaped one but didn’t have the chance to take photo of it.


This is combo of 4 photos.

May you have a great year ahead and for those that have bad start like me, hopefully we will do better later.

New House, Fireworks & Wine

Posted on By sweet surrender 13 Comments on New House, Fireworks & Wine

Yesterday, we went to my dad’s friend’s new house for CNY open house. The house is a semi-d that costs more than RM900,000 (including the furnishing) somewhere in Kuching.

Not going to let you know where of course, here’s a photo I managed to take of the compound. The food that we had. Dared not to take pictures of the whole table of food though.


These are the red wines they served and I managed to drank them or rather just 2 sips each hahaha… Normally I will not want to even take a sip, just smelling the alcohol is enough to turn me off but I was so in very bad mood. Because of that they didn’t smell that bad at all. My advise is stay away from alcohol when you are in very mad mood or stress. For the first time of my life I touched so many types of alcohols, 2 types of red wine, very strong kacangma, and a tin of Shandy(HAHAHA! Does this even count?).

Here’s the differences of the two red wines, I’m no wine expert, I’m just describing them based on what I saw, smelt and tasted:
Left: The colour is darker compare to the one on the right, it tasted sweet with some tinge of sourness.
Right: The colour is lighter, it tasted more sourish and bitter than sweet.
As for both smell, I don’t remember which one is stronger ;p

Later in the night, there were fireworks “competition” in the neighbourhood. Managed to capture them but I don’t like the outcome because there were too many types and very messy. Just see the photos and you know what I mean.



At least for the first time I managed to capture purple fireworks.

Lastly… My not-so-nice-not-so-good-mood photos… No natural light to take at all because it’s dark already. With flash and no flash. I have to crop my forehead because the hair up there was so unruly.

Again… Bad mood… Forced myself to smile. Crazy! Hahaha… Bad mood also still got mood to camwhore. I know I’m going nuts already!

By the way, do you know that I’m naked in these photos? *LOL*Believe it! Because I wasn’t! Kick you… Think so much!
