Qing Ming 2009

April 3, 2009April 4, 2009 sweet surrender 8 Comments

Tomorrow will be actual day of Qing Ming. However, we went there on last Saturday. Many people went there last Saturday as last Sunday was flagged as a bad day for many people to visit the graves so most went on last Saturday. Here’s a quick update of last Saturday’s visit.

When the sun came out… I didn’t bring my camera, it’s taken with my phone.

Something new this year. Interesting…

Some flowers bought by my cousins.

These were bought by my parents.

So that’s all… Enjoy your weekend.

Lastly… We have new prime minister, Najib. Wish us Malaysians all the best. *roll eyes*

TRUE Wedding Coming Soon…

March 25, 2009March 26, 2009 sweet surrender 7 Comments

Thanks to Cassie for the invitation to this event.

It was a short simple event to let people know about the new magazine that will be coming soon somewhere end of April.

The soft launch was done by YB Puan Sharifah Hasidah Sayeed Aman GhazaIi, ADUN N7 Samariang.

You can read the full press release in cherishmywedding.com

After that, we had some refreshments. First time eating something in 4 Points.

Left: Very colourful mugs.
Right: The fried popiah that I didn’t eat because of my cough. YES! I’m still having cough. Thought that I’m done and over with it but apparently not yet. Some food can trigger it and this time it’s the yam sticks I had on Monday that triggered it.

Left: Sandwiches.
Right: Coconut tart? Too sweet for me.

Can’t wait to see how the magazine will turn out. We’ll just wait and see.

Beauty Sarawak 2009

March 7, 2009March 7, 2009 sweet surrender 2 Comments

I went to Beauty Sarawak 2009 yesterday at Riverside Majestic just to see what was it all about because it felt as if like something very big scale but…

Was greeteed by this…

And these…

So disappointing. It’s so small scale. The booths are pathetic. *SWEAT* Anyway, I managed to get my first ever gel nail there. I don’t think they will have it today or tomorrow. The notice seemed to be put up on the booth last minute. Just scribbled with a pen and pasted it on top of the booth.

Since no people and the participants were all feeling so bored and some even fell asleep or chit chatting with each other, my bro and I went and asked about the free nail service and TADA! We each got one! ;p My fingernail instantly become this looong!

Happy Valentine’s Day 2009

February 14, 2009February 14, 2009 sweet surrender 15 Comments

It’s that time of the year again where everything is hiked double, triple or even more. Every couple practically flood every single eatery in Kuching not even letting go of the hawker stalls. Road is jammed too as everyone is heading out for celebration.

To all those legal love birds:
Wish you all the best and may the love showers you with all the happiness.

To all those illegal love birds(cheating spouse or third party):
Wish you all the worst and may the “love” showers you with all the sorrows when the time comes.

Shoo! I’m not talking about you, don’t perasan! If you think I’m referring to you then that’s your problem. Means you admit that you are wrong.

It just happened that since last year until now I’ve been hearing a lot of cases like this happening and it has affected those around me badly even though they are not the ones that got involved in it. Not just one case but severals *HORROR*

Can you imagine how many I have to listen to because they need my ear for it? Not that I complain, I’m willing to hear you people out as long that it can help in reduce your stress level even though I can’t do anything. That is why I’m very sensitive in thing like this nowadays.

Thing like this is not only about the couple but it will affect anyone close to the cheating spouse or the third party. It comes in a package.

Be it legal or illegal, a relationship is not about two people but the whole package of the person ranging from the past, the present, the future, the family, the friends and so much more.

To all the singles or those having their loved one somewhere else:
Let’s hope next year will be better. We can celebrate Valentine’s Day on any other day! Why must it be on the day itself when everyone is trying to earn more than an extra piece of your money and squeeze around with others? Even you are madly in love doesn’t mean that you have to be a stupid consumer. We don’t have to follow the crowd at all. Make your own Valentine’s Day! Agree?!?!

Anyway… It’s Saturday and I’m having class then after that stay at home jiak kaki. Dear… Do you hear that? ;p Don’t think so… So long we share the same sky, the same sun and the same moon, it’s better than nothing. *MUAKS*

By the way, anyone wanna date me tonight to spend our very own without-lover/single Valentine’s? Come to think of it, I don’t think we have a place to go at all *LOL* I better prepare for my presentation tomorrow ;p Not in the mood to go out, don’t want to be part of crowd.

I’m so bitter… So what?!?!? It’s not like my bitterness will cause your Valentine’s Day to go bitter also. Like as if you will be reading this, you don’t even have time at all. You are too busy spending time with your Valentine.

Zunyi Acrobatics Troupe in Kuching

February 13, 2009February 14, 2009 sweet surrender 10 Comments

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.

You can see some slightly bigger version of the photos in catscity.net
