Anyway, its nice to meet up with them. The total conversation that night should be more than those years ago since i known them..hahaha...

After that meet up, found out that, there are still a few 84's bprians at SG. Hope that there will be a gathering soon lol...

Fish Spa

Finally no need to OT today as me and coll already planned to go for a fish spa today. two of the guys put aeroplane...but we still proceed with our outing.
at first, planning to go to QianHu but got to know that it closes at 6pm. luckily found out that jurong point has 1.
before letting the fishes have their dinner, we checked in at Burger King. I already forgotten when was the last time i bought a burger thr but this time, the burger i ordered really quite nice.


Time to let the fish die as we almost 10 days nvr wash our legs since we plan the trip..hahaha...just jk




The photo above shows a few "mountain turtles" feeling very excited to let the fish bite!haha...luckily im not in the photo..from the left "Swiss",ZYao,ZHan&Ah"Fad".

At first feeling when the fish bite is very ticklish but after a while no more feeling. Just like a needle poking softly on ur leg but after about 20mins, the feeling of the needle seems to be come harder..haha..no more dead skin liau..the fish is actually eating my flesh..hahahaha...after the whole therapy, the place whr the fish bites actually felt a bit painful...but now its ok liau la..i cant imagine how ahTan can let the fish bite his whole body...hahaha....



its a good experience and a nice outing..hope there will be more in the future!

Life is short...dun simply give up on it

today saw a lot of post regarding the 22 years old guy committed suicide because of relationship problem. Now his news seems like hot cake...everybody is discussing it on twitter and FB.

is it really so hard to accept when somebody break with you?
do you think that after you end your life then you will make somebody remember you the whole life?

before you do anything foolish, please think n times. for what you have done, it may actually harm a lot to others especially to the other party and of course ur beloved family.

from my passed experience, whr 1 of my fren pass away,everybody will be sad at the specific moment. but when time goes by, who will actually remember you beside your family?your name and memories of you will be gone with the wind...so is it worth it to sacrifice your previous life?

so everybody out thr, stay hapi, live your life to the max, enjoy, and dun work too hard(dun b like me who r going to kisiau)...hahahaha...cheers!

Brain problem

I always have a problem with my brain...since young im always very forgetful but recently i found out that it has become more and more serious.
After staying at my bros house, already 2 times i forgot to lock the gate and door after i went into the house. the keys are left hanging at the lock.
Always forget to take my water bottle after i finished filling up at the dispenser.
Always forget where i placed my components which makes me spend a lot of time searching it back...
What happen to me...sumthing wrong to my brain?

明天以后

This song has canto and mandarin version...but for my current condition, mandarin lyrics really suits me...hahha...actually it really says what i'm thinking...hahaha...

Standard Chartered Marathon

I believe and i swear it is the last standard chartered 42km marathon that i will run...the main reason is...the sun so BIG until wanna pengsan..how to run...aih...sundown is much better...

besides the timing, i still wanna complaint how come all marathon need to run the EAST COAST route!!!no other places to run liau mer...it covers 20km of the total route...its really very sienz always running the same place.y dun just run the whole PIE or other highway...then also can get more than 20km...hahaha

the good thing about this marathon is the scenery is nice, where i can run on the F1 track, look at the Marina Bay Sands hotel whr im just underneath it, looking at the flyer it all sorts of viewing angle and most important, its is very clear to c all the gals running along with me...hahahahaha...

this time round, i beated my own recorded whr i able to complete a 23km run without stopping but also fail to achieve my previous total record. The total time i took to complete the whole course was 7hrs 20mins...for adidas sundown, i only took 6hrs 32mins...almost 1 hour more..aih...

wanna complaint the organising group for the race. How come will lack of the sizes of the Tee? i think the number of sizes taken by people you all should know clearly...making in the end, only left XL! no eye c... too big for me lo...

after the race, left that i seems like paralyse...each part of my body hurts...my face,neck and both of my hands are fully sunburned!and i became BLACK not dark!hahha...alamak....yang guang nan hai doesnt seems to fit me...should call chao ta nan hai...haha...although i ache severely, but i'm not the 1 in the most serious condition...yinghao and evan seems normal..but leong le, become big slow penguin but the most serious is hwa...hmm..mayb not enough sleep, sugar and too tired after the whole event, muscle cramp here and thr...fainted in the MRT really shocked me as my fan ying is too slow to catch him.luckily one uncle standing behind him...thanks to the auntie that gave us the cap kapak feng you...

After having a happy but not nice lunch at TCC, Milieanna Walk...each of us went home...after i reached home, mayb too tired, i forgot to lock the main door and left everything opened!thanks god nothing happen...i slept from 6pm till the next morning 6am..12hrs straight..its so nice but when woke up, the acheness really hard to stand...each step is really torturing...thats bad...at office, everybody is laughing at me..saying i should take mc...hahha...

lastly, i wanna shout out to the big eyes cheering missy at 20km check point! you look gorgeous! hahaha...thats all folks!!!

I'm the next iron man!!!

After looking through the photo, i suddenly saw this..i know hwa y fainted liau...hwa is not hwa that day until he fainted..hahahaha...c the photo below

Unlucky day...

Iphone casing..

As i bought my IPhone 4G before Sept 30th, i'm able to get my free IPhone casing. Downloaded a program from Itunes, select my casing from the list and ordered it online. It stated that i have to wait for 3-4 weeks but i got it yesterday. It is only a week from the day i ordered. The casing is actually quite nice. The back is covered with a type of rough fabric. I think if i'm not wrong, at IPhone store, it is sold for $39.90 or $49.90.

Indonesian Curry Rice

As this few weeks i have been transferred to work at the customer site at kallang, i got the chance to taste the food around this area.

There is this Indonesian Curry Rice which i highly recommend. The location is at the market stalls just beside the Boon Keng MRT station. I already tasted twice and it is nice. With an egg, chicken and yellow rice, it cost $2.50. Quite cheap right? Thats why the queue is always very long. Thumbs Up for this shop.

If you have time, just drop by to taste! hehe...

Pulau Dayang. 17-19 Sept 2010

Today really drag myself to work...so so tired..should take mc and go for a massage session. My back felt a bit painful while my shoulders have a bit bruise...maybe it was caused by the heavy oxygen tank while carrying it...
anyway, i really enjoyed the whole trip. from start till the end of the diving session, each of them gave me a new experience. from surface compared to 18m depth under the sea, it is totally a different world..wat would it be to be 40m under? i really would like to know the answer soon.
the only thing that is quite distracted is the corals. Most of them, seems to be dead. But besides that, all others r really fascinating espcially the fishes!most of them are shy but there r some that is really aggresive. hohoahaha...
the pictures taken are a whole lot of different colors...although my camera is not so good..but it is nice to have 1 with me...
i have passed the open water diving, and hope next year will able to complete my advance. anybody would like to join me? let me know ya...hehhe

bye bye to my third wife...

As the new job do not required me to use car, so no more allowances...with that little salary im unable to support her...too bad, "shebude" also need to let her go find her new partner... thanks for being with me 4 more than a year without failing to get me to the place i wanted...

These few days no mood to write anything and take new photos...just sharing some macros taken 2 weeks back

All the pictures above are taken only with the Sigma 150mm lens + 72mm extension tube while the one below is with the same combination + DCR250. It can goes until so near...but it is really hard to take a clear picture...if have a tripod then will be good

Its a bird, no its a plane..no..then wat is it?

Today, around 10.20am, I'm driving on Clemenceau Ave. suddenly a shiny object reflected the sun light attracted my attention. it is hovering in the sky slowly towards the park hotel. I'm sure it is not a plane or remote control plane as its shape is squarish. too bad too many cars behind me, i unable to stop directly. i also do not have my DSLR with me. what a chance...i do not meant that it is an UFO but what possible it should be? it is small, shiny silver, seem like got some holes below it(unable to see clearly), and it is squarish!
if it is a UFO, then the alien inside must be very tiny...haha...
dun think it is UFO, anybody knows anything about the high tech item which i saw?

i'm back

its been a while since i last wrote sumthing here..very bz last 2 weeks but im back now..become a FREE man lo..hahaha

currently having problem with my CS4 also..aih..so unable to edit those photos la...so headache with these software...wanna bek msia get full stock of those P****** DVD...hahaha...

bye to my 105mm

so sad to bade goodbye to my 105mm as i saw there is some fungus starting. sold to a guy $50 cheaper than the price i bought in.
so scared that my other lens will kena too...till now others seems to be ok...

Bedok reservoir view

As this weekend i'm at my bro house, take this opportunity to snap a view of the bedok reservoir. As wake up oledi late, unable to take the sunrise view..hehe...

Untouch photo

Directly from the camera, you can see vigetting on the side of the photo as im using a cpl. As using a wide angle lens to take this photo, if u look closely on the building, all of them are slanted in a way towards the center of the picture. So to beautify it, below is the picture after photoshop.

After editing in photoshop
Does it looks nicer? the sky colour i enchance with a darker blue and the building i have straighten them. The vigetting has been removed.

Still a lot to learn lo. Clouds formation and lighting in the sky are really beautiful. really deeply attracted to them.

C&C are welcome.

Macro camera settings

As i'm so into macro shots, here is some combinations of my gadget that i wanted to share.

If you have money the best is to get a 1:1 ratio macro lens but if you have a budget, then here some tips for you.

If you have a manual lens, then very easy u r able to take a macro shot by buying a reversing adaptor. By attaching the manual lens in the reverse way, it is able to enlarge the image to a certain range but the DOF is quite shallow. The combination is as shown as above(second from the right). The reversing adaptor cost me SGD$22.

As wat i have, a 105mm manual lens which produce a 1:2 image, by attaching a cheap extension tube, then the image produce will be >1 image size. The normal extension tube with no electronic contacts cost me SGD$10. Item is located in the center. Previously i already shown the image taken from this combination.

If you have a little more to spend, then Raynox DCR-250 is the recommendation. Image taken is really nice and sharp. It cost me SGD$120 from MCGill ebay.(first from the right).

Finally if you are really into macro, then wat i recommend will be a 1:1 lens(as wat i have is a 150mm Sigma), then add an extension tube with electronic contacts(second from the left). The image produce is already quite big but if you have a DCR-250 then it will be perfect. No cropping will be needed to your image but remember, with extension tube, thr will be a 2f drop and if you like to take the picture with f8 - f16, then surely you will need an external flash. The extension tube with electronic contact is selling from SGD$190 - SGD$220 in the market. I got mine by exchanging my extra bag with a top up of $50 with a CSer.

Now i'm still in the process of learning macro. Lightings is the first thing that need to be look into and most important some editing too...haha...anybody out thr who r interested, we can yan jiu yan jiu together la...haha...

Thanks for reading..C&C are welcome...

damn TL...

After work still thinking can take some nice macro shots. So happy when i found an orb spider and thought that it was my lucky day as first time i saw it. Just after a few shots, my camera became gila. 90% of the picture taken is totally black. Test this and that still the same. Taught that need to masuk kilang but when reached home, it became normal. No matter wat i did, the camera still is in its normal condition. feeling happy abit but damn TL cannot get a ncie picture of that spider...

Mayb the spider cursed on my camera. This is the 蜘蛛精!!!

More and more into macro

Although yesterday night slept around 3am, but this morning still woke up at 8am for my macro shots. I just scroll around the small park below my block and actually able to find some of them.

Hmmm... till now, i still prefer macro compare to other shoots but i will still try to improve my overall skills. Keong, thanks for sharing all your opinion and thoughts with us. haha...

Here are two photos that i have taken this morning. I damn like the first 1...
Settings: 105mm + Raynox DCR250, 1/200s, f16, external flash

Handsem and Ugly little creatures...

Last sat as i have a day free, again i visited AP which has lotsa little creatures to become my model. again, i still do not pass the 100m distance from the north entry..haha...
just about 10m from the entry, again i'm greeted with the hoppers, sliver and green, was on the leaves but this time not sure y, i saw many of them with only 1 hind legs...is there a creature somewhere who likes to eat hopper's leg?keke...
this time, was the first time i able to take pictures of these 8 eyes and 8 legs creatures...before i actually have my DSLR, i never knew they looks like that...its quite special and makes me more interested to make them as my model next time.

The "white horse king son" with a special crown

The wicked ugly crook

The only thing i hate about macro shot is that there is a lot of MOSQUITO! I will nvr have a chance to take photo of a mosquito as they will be DEAD before i ever realised they r there as i only c blood when i pik piak pik piak...

Extension Tube Received

ohhh...wat a week...after back from sri lanka, that afternoon i still thought can hav a good rest, but received call from my boss...got 2 jobs need to be done. shit...go sri lanka already didnot sleep for a day, then back still cannot sleep...till now, i think i can become superman liau...i almost 3 days din sleep..mayb 1 hr here and thr got close my eyes a while la..haha...aih...

waited for about 2 weeks, finally my extension tube is here...

So kan cheong to see what kind of image it can bring to me.

when it is mounted on to the camera with my Nikkor 105mm, it feels so great. Seems like a bazooka!haha..

At first, I'm thinking to sell off my Nikkor 105mm as i already have the Sigma 150mm. Luckily last week the buyer 放飞机 if not i will not have the chance to test it with the 105mm lens.

Although I'm very tired after a whole nite of working, but the feeling of wanted to see the out come already over whelm me. The pictures taken, what i can say is great! it seems to be more than 1:1 ratio. Fromt the pictures taken, what i can say is, the pictures are really quite clear and sharp. i would like to take my words back as previously i said that the Nikkor 105mm lose to the Sigma 150mm. It still can fight..haha...now i think i will not sell off the lens.

The pictures below are not crop

this moth is quite small. its size should be smaller than 5mm x 5mm.

Top is before crop, and below is after crop

The quality still not bad right..if it is not good, doesn't mean that the lens is bad but is my skill problem..haha
