Snapped With A Flash

0 comments

After a long day at the library I am exhausted... My daily routine makes me bored. Reached home and I pick up my camera. Thought of going out to the beach but I am too tired to walk.


So I decided to try another photography technique. Still the subject matter is one of my watch. This time I snapped the watch in a dark room with my camera flash turn on.

The result is as below and I added few elements in Photoshop just to spice up the final artwork.

Just another boring activity for today...

No Spring?

0 comments

It seems that Spring this year didn't turn up as I expected. No beautiful flowers except few of them. No breezy wind except a warm central wind from the desert.


I guess Spring is not here at all.

Sandals For Summer Season

0 comments

Even though Summer is another month, the temperature and weather in Melbourne is kind of warm. The weather is totally change and I suspect due to the climate changes. Spring doesn't look like Spring anymore. Not many flowers blooming.. the wind is not breezing like before and I realize that it is a bit dusty.


To face the hot Summer I already prepare few sandals for my daily footwear. This is some of it...

Last Wish List For 2008.....

2008 is nearly to an end... and I still have few more wish list which need to be full fill. One of it is ORIS watch. At first I am eying on the ORIS Divers Titan Chronograph but then I settled on the ORIS Divers Titan Date instead. I have so many Chronograph watches in my collections. I still have few more watches that I wanted to collect. I hope I can full fill that wish list next year.

After a recovery from an accident years ago one of my friend suggested to me that I should take this herbal extract. Since then I never missed it. It really help to circulate my blood better.


While strolling at the Royal Botanical Garden, I finally saw the real Ginko Biloba tree. I never seen it before and actually there are so many type of it.

Also I realized that this Spring seems not that good. Not many flowers as last year, the weather is warmer and very unpleasent. The wind is hot and very dusty.

Tersangat Rajin

0 comments

Full day in the library just gave me another headache. Not many resources I can find so I need to go to the RMIT library tomorrow. Then my Thai friend called me to have a coffee together. He is going back today at 6pm to Bangkok for good. Went home and while I am doing the carpet cleaning he was playing with my camera and took this photos. Not bad for the first timer.


So semalam terlebih rajin lah sikit. Studying, cleaning, cooking and calling people back home.

Visiting Friends

0 comments

I had an opportunity to visit few friends last weekend. The first is Ijam and Family. Ijam and I used to study in a same school back home. He is my junior but at that time we never met. Only when we are here we knew that we re senior and junior. While at him I also met another guy from the same school.


Another friend is Din and family. I have known him since 1999 back in Langkawi. And we met again in Melbourne last year when both of us decided to pursue our study. So last weekend is Ijam and Din open house.

Some Of My Wallet Collections

2 comments

Friend once said to me that never change your wallet until it's no longer in use. The reason is if we change the wallet while the older one still can be use is that we going to loose money later on. Not sure whether it is true or not.


Some people also ask me why I need so many wallet. It is not I need it but I just have this habits of collecting wallet. Even some of them still in the box and I haven't use it yet. One thing for sure is I am not that particular about the brand. I rather go for the look and the design. I know I am not going to stop collecting wallet but here is some of what in my collections.

Dodol Tan Kim Hock

0 comments

Beraya di Melbourne is actually not that bad as some might thought. Makanan Asia tak menjadi masalah di sini. Even celebrating Hari Raya Aidil Fitri is just like back home. Ketupat, rendang, kuih muih semua sama saja.


And tak ketinggalan was some kuih tradisional seperti Bangkit, Kacang Hijau, Kerepek Pisang, Kek Lapis Betawi and also Dodol. Dodol yang dijual di sini specially imported from Melaka. Pastinya dodol yang terkenal Tan Kim Hock. Hmm... actually kan I sendiri tak tau camner Chinese yang buat Dodol. Orang Melayu punya Dodol jual kat tepi-tepi jalan kat Melaka tu tapi ni Chinese punya sampai ke Australia.

Satu lagi aktiviti hari raya pastinya open house. So sempat lah jugak I ke beberapa open house tahun ni. Tahun lepas actually more then this year. Walaupun I bercampur jugak dengan beberapa Melayu di sini tapi ada jugak suara-suara sumbang kata I tak campur orang. Hmmm.. tak paham sungguh lah Melayu ni... Apa-apa pun raya tetap meriah di sini because I have all these group of people....

starbucks at bourke, melbourne

After I finished my day at school I catch a train to the city. Since it was Friday there were so many people as the previous day was a payday. Australian were paid weekly for their wages and they have a 13 month full pay not like us.


I went to David Jones because I saw few designers wallet on sales last week. I am not thinking of buying anything at first but as usual when I said I don't buy then I end up buying thing. As for last Friday I terbeli this beautifully crafted Ted Baker wallet with lots of compartment encased in a beautiful box.

Since it was early I went to Starbucks while waiting for Nahar to arrive. We were invited to KITA gang's raya open house. Hmm actually I am not sure KITA stands for what... need to ask them next time..

I chatted with Rich on the net about few things such AirAsia business model, Jenny's Craig and also Meals on Wheels concept.
