Life is pretty busy and dull. Work, work, work & work for almost 12-15 hours everyday. Just as that very important moment of work, a damn good message appears on my laptop screen. "Some ass attempts to login to your account."

Just within a blink of 2 seconds. All my email accounts, Facebook, MSN Messenger, and other account which is linked are blocked with password changed.. How interesting.?

It took me 2 damn f**king days to recover back my main email account only, whereby the rest is gone. Thanks to these idiots who are so free to hack.

VW Scirocco Test Drive

2010-06-22T03:37:00.000+08:00

Nice cloudy morning at Sepang International Circuit this morning as all invited medias register themselves for test drive of the new VW Scirocco. We are pleased to test Scirocco Cup race prepared car here this today.

It's DSG works so well that you need not worry about the gear shifting as you just power the throttle all the way. Very minimal body roll through out the test out. Scirocco with its beautiful brake and handling works so nicely you just have full confident to push and brake late before entering the turn.

Just a few shots of the Scirocco. Click HERE for more...

Asia Pacific Rally Championship 2010, JOHOR

2010-04-26T21:50:00.002+08:00

What a tired weekend.. The group of crazy EOS DSLR member gathered at 8:00pm and had our quick dinner before leaving to Johor. Everyone was rushing after their work and pack up all neccessary gears from home.

Journey down South was a torture... Started with a bad conjestion after Bangi and heavy pour after Seremban.. We manage to reach Thistle Hotel, JB at 1am. The tired part was we have to wake up at 5:00am and be at the Service Park for both day 1 & 2. First car will be leaving at 7:00am sharp and then we are to rush to the Special Stage (SS).

It was a very challenging photoshooting for me as you can't predict what will happen infront of you. Weather is unpredictable as well.. Down pour in the evening for Day 1 and Morning pour for Day 2.. Contestant also having difficulties along the SS due to the pouring.

Sorry to Karamjit DNS on day 1, and again can't perfom on Day 2 super rally.

Sadly McRae was out due to engine blown in Day 2.

Katsu Taguchi in his EVO10, Category N4 was the Champion, Gaurav Gill in EVO10, Category N4 come second & Rifat Sungkar, Subaru Ver.9 come in Third for APRC Round 1..

As for MRC 2010, a good run for Rafiq in his Subaru Ver.8 Category N4, follow by Andrew Miller (or call as Crazy Mat Salleh) in his Subaru WRX Category P12 and Francis Lai running in Proton Satria, Category P10..

Sun burned again after 2 weeks..

2010-04-16T03:28:00.000+08:00

I've been keeping myself out of the sun for 2 weeks after F1 Malaysian Grand Prix and today I am back on the track shooting again.

It was not supposed to be like this. Thing was planned to be having fun driving on the track and not standing under the sun photoshooting.. LOL~! I felt I have not been on track before after a year not driving. As soon as the Green lights turn on and those car in pit start to rev I felt a little shaky.

Thing is just so not in my way. hahaha... Photography still feel safer to me.. =P

Bikers Weekday Private Track Session

2010-03-23T04:40:00.004+08:00

This was supposed to be post about 2 weeks ago. I wasn't back to my own Condo but staying at parent's place since I felt sick badly.

My 3rd paid job (Thanks to Isma again.. ^_^ ). Doing it alone without a back-up photographer is hell difficult on the track whereby you only have 2 hours to cover almost 80% of the track. Myself wasn't very happy with the outcome but I hope my client are fine with.

When will the next be and it will be a session with Video Shooting too..

Back on track again..

2010-03-11T16:59:00.002+08:00

Time was not permitting me to do any updating recently. I was first away for 6 days on work after my last photo shoot outing. Then I felt sick after the 6 days work under hot weather and late night sleep. Not that it's a tough job, but to take care of a team of Illusionist that are from different nationalities (American, British & Thai) and it was fun & challenging.

Took me almost 2 weeks to recover from my virus attack (not H1N1) haha... A Quarantine I call it because of staying home resting and nutritiously..

Now I am back on track but with cautious of food and need more water. I will update with my recent shooting again soon.

Impromptu Kidnap Outing

2010-02-02T01:11:00.000+08:00

Has been a year not coming to Fraser Hill for drive after I sold my car. A last minute planning to go since another street photography session was to cancel.

Group Photo w/o tripod. Scary!

The route for this drive has a slight changes instead of using Batu Cave → Ulu Yam → Fraser. We use Genting Sempah → Bentong → Fraser. A long drive and more winding roads. Didn't take any photos during the drive as light drizzle along the way till the Gap.

Trying to be Artistic. LOL

What can you do stranded at home..

2009-12-27T04:56:00.000+08:00

Christmas is over.. Boxing Day is Over as well..

A beautiful Saturday I had myself stranded at home. Thought of going out to Papa Rich for lunch and tea with friend. Walk to the key box and Oopss! Where is the car key? My brother kept it back into his room. hahaha..

I tried to wake him but as usual he sleep like a dead corpse. Oh well, like my parent said there is a service call Taxi. Taking me almost 20mins and there are no taxis around my area to service. Back to my room and wonder what to do.

Started with some cleaning and got myself exhausted then back to sleep again. A shocking call from my brother in-law woke me up because he DIY a light box. Ask me try it out do some photo shooting. I stared at the light box thinking how to setup the flash gun and what to shoot. Took me 2 hours thinking and walk around my home I took my scale model to try out.

These is what I got, good or bad? No freaking idea.. LoL

Formula Drift 2009

2009-12-19T19:27:00.003+08:00

Weather is extremely crazy whole day at MAEPS (Malaysia Agro Exposition Park Serdang) shooting for Team MYEG. There is no a proper area for media provided on Day 1. Everyone just locked themselves at the spot they feel good all day. I got dead tired walking, standing and worst looking for shelter during rain.

Finally I'm home after two days shooting and I am very tired to filter the photos of the day to share now. Click here to visit my Flickr page for more.

Open Track 29/11/2009

2009-11-30T15:22:00.004+08:00

It has been more than 2 months after my last shutter killing after Singapore Formula 1 Grand Prix.

I am back to Sepang Open Track to burn shutter count. It was a sunny afternoon with only 89 cars on track. More than 10 Subarus (mix of S202, S203 and S204), Skyline R32, Hondas (as usual), Perodua Myvi Turbo, and more..

Had bad migraine standing under the hot sun after long rest at home, I stop shooting and decided to chill at the Control Room. Sitting in an air condition room watching 27 CCTV on different angle of the track is much more fun as you get to see all dramas on the track.

Next Open Track will be on 13th December 2009. Anyone going?

Continue to limp..

2009-10-28T17:04:00.003+08:00

It is already day 5 of my inconvenient movement. I have been inconveniently limping around. Can't put too much stress on my walk and also stand for too long. It's only a fracture but giving such a hard time.

So many food that I have to avoid each meals. No spicy, sour, beans, taufu, prawn, egg, duck, watermelon, cold drink and etc. My mouth getting so dried without those taste in every meals. For my injury to heal with soonest I have no option but to accept it.

Mood swing do come and go often throughout these days. It's dead lifeless and boring to be exact. Another 7 days gonna be a go-karting race, whereby I have to opt out from it. Sad... Sad.. Sad.. Life is getting dull when you are inconveniently get to move.

Paranormal Activity's recommended Horror Movie

2009-10-26T23:09:00.001+08:00

Paranormal Activity's - My brother was surfing for movies and he found this. Someone says it took 2 years for this movie to release. It also has a few version, but the one recommended below is original cut.

Strongly recommended to you guys if you like to watch horror movie. It is base on true story.

It is freaking scary to me especially watching alone. Watch it once and don't watch again.

Friends, Lover or Fuddies?

2009-10-26T22:29:00.001+08:00

I found this article interesting. I didn't know Malaysian are hot with this FWB or Fuddy. hahaha..

Sound fun isn't it? Sound so irresponsible too.

It is still best to be alone if can't make up your mind. Sometime it just so disturbing when you need a piece of mind to think and do your thing peacefully in order to run smoothly.

Suspected broken toe..

2009-10-23T22:00:00.004+08:00

Saturday. Great night, enjoying my late dinner and watching TVB series. An hour after decided to throw the rubbish in my wet kitchen before I forget again in the next morning.

It was windy out there tonight. Nicely enjoy my late night walk to the garbage room near my condo pool side.

Along my walk back to my unit I was thinking shall I go to Sepang MotoGP to do a few panning shots. Think & think, forget it man. I don't have a proper lens for it. Went back to my room walking toward my PC table. *Deng* *Slip* *Ouch* I slip due to my brother's toy poodle pee right at the corner of my bed. I slipped and felt on bed.

Unluckily my leg can't pull back quick enough. Hit on the table leg and I shouted out loud. It was swollen and bruises start appearing.

This afternoon decided to consult doctor seeing my toe getting worst and bruises are growing wider. The doctor said let the swollen and bruises go off a little more first. Suspect my bone is broke. Oh what the HECK!

Now I am limping my way around as I barely able to walk. Now only can wait till Monday hope nothing serious.. *sniff*

2009 Formula 1 SingTel Singapore Grand Prix (Day 2)

2009-10-01T15:20:00.003+08:00

My lunch at Isetan

26th September 2009, it's Saturday. My itinerary is very simple. First stop at Isetan, Orchard Road. Had my brunch at the food court then the shopping starts. I need to get a belt in city before the race. From one complex to another along the road I did not manage to find what I want. After an hour walking around each complexes I forgotten what I needed most. I ended up looking for OpTech/USA camera strap. So from Orchard we walk to Sim Lim Square next to Bugis Junction.

From Sim Lim Square, we decided to take MRT to Raffles Place. Looking the strap is just as hard as i am looking for a simple belt. 10 minutes walk from Raffles Place MRT station, here we are at the biggest camera shop Cathay @ Marina Square. If we knew they have every accessories for camera we had save our energy and sweats walking under the hot sun earlier on.

14:30pm after we had purchase a comfortable camera strap it is almost time to go in Circuit secure good shooting spot. Once again we thought we are early enough, but we are wrong. The same faces from last night already had their position and all set up. Since Formula 1 practice start at 18:30pm, we went to SingTel LG road show at Esplanade Park. Portraits shoots practice starts here. The promoters caught many men attention and everyone wants a picture with them. Myself rather take some shoots of them than standing beside them to have a photograph.

SingTel, LG girls..

18:45pm slowly taking own sweet time looking around from turn 11 to 14 again for some place to squeeze in. Again no chance to do so and I am back to Anderson Bridge. After I got few clear shots I decide to give up for the night and just watch the Practice 3 and Qualifying race..

... to be continued...

2009 Formula 1
Singtel Singapore Grand Prix
(Day 1)

03:00am- On the 25th September 2009, arrived at LCCT Sepang awaiting for the first flight departing to Singapore. Waited at OLDTOWN Kopitiam for almost 30 minutes just to have a glass of cold "Cham Ice". Service is real bad or maybe everyone is actually half dead working at this hour. Double check if I do missed out anything behind as I am just sitting here waiting for time to Check-in.

Snap for fun..

05:30am- Check-in at the counter on flight AK 719 and departing at 06:20am. LCCT actually did a minor renovation for their Arrival & Departure Hall. Not having a good night sleep while trying to stay awake is a suicide having such unhealthy living.

Waiting to board..

06:00am- Walked towards the gate and ready for boarding. Hilariously almost walk to a wrong flight which is heading Macau. haha... Both Macau and Singapore flight is just next to each other. Flight attendent on duty direction wasn't clear enought for everyone.

My Correct flight to Singapore. ;p

07:20am- Finally touched down at Singapore. It's freezing at Changi International Airport. Rushed to the gents before heading to Custom Hall. The que was rather smooth as everyone got their passport stamped. Can't recall when was my last time flying to Singapore, as I noticed their SkyBus is Automated and not human control.

The Skybus has NO driver?

08:00am- My friend and I took the MRT to Bukit Batok whereby another friend stay at currently. The train ride took an hour to reach. Such a long ride that we could actually stand and sleep on the MRT while other Singaporeans were rushing in and out the train for work.

09:30am- I had myself freshen up a little at Bukit Batok. Put down my backpack filled with clothes and off we go with the Camera and needed things.

10:20am- Our first stop was Chinatown. Had our breakfast, Frog Porridge. *sLurp* It cost us SGD$6.00 per head. It's expensive don't you think so? but it is nice.. hehe..

Someone told me that this temple was build with some

what Gold Plated thingy.

11:15am- They walk starts. We decided to walk and not taking any public transport from Chinatown to Marina Bay. Without street map or tourist guide with us, we walk base on the high rise building. I follow the direction of Singtel and OCBC bank until we reach to Market Street. Now we are near to Raffles place. Stop for break and get some cold drinks. From point A to B took us 2 hours on a stop and go basis.

Just keep walking and look for SingTel

to get ourselves to Marina Bay.

14:10pm- We are at Fullerton Road where the entrance to Gate 5 was. Gate wasn't open till 15:00pm and many were waiting outside under the hot sun. Without thinking of waiting and stand under the sun, we head to Clarke Quay for coffee.

Ticketing office & Gate 5 to Circuit.

Clarke Quay.

This man has been sitting alone for

more than an hour.

15:10pm- Back to circuit at Gate 4 this time as it is closer from Clarke Quay. I had a shock when going thru the security check point. The officer asked, "Sir, When did you purchased your ticket?" I replied, "I bought online and don't you say Singtel Conned me." ROLF.. He then scanned again and it is O.K.. After the pass scanned then another security booth to clear. Bag Check! Now I'm at the walkabout area they call it "The Padang". This area ismostly for seated audience. We walked around to Esplanade Park. This is a much better place to set for some shooting.

It's still early but crowd starts to build rather fast.

16:45pm- It the Formula BMW Pacific Qualifying. At turn 13, this was my first shooting stand. Less crowd, No shades, Tight opening without fence before the turning. Just right after this qualifying session we decided to scout around for more shooting spots.

Tight spot without fence at Turn 13.

17:30pm- The first practise session of Formula 1 is about to begin in 30 minutes time. Most of the good spot crowded with all photographers instead of Formula 1 fans. We then rushed to turn 14. A small chance but not as good if you are only using a 18-200mm lens. Not far enough and quick focusing. About 40 minutes of trial we walk toward the corner of turn 14. It is even worst here as audience get a better view of drivers' actions. I found temporary P/E box installed for the lightning system and without thinking would the Police see will booked me instead. I has a few acceptable shots. Not very very good but for myself it is acceptable.

These peoples never move away for hours.

The straights before Turn 14. Packed as well.

21:00pm- Before practise session 2 start, toilet break is much needed. It a long walk back near to Turn 11 at Esplanade Park just for the ease. These people do not look like they need to pee or eat. They been standing at the same location for hours. I have no chance to squeeze in and have to climb on the Bridge before Turn 13. It was only me and my friend, the two of us climb with half body out of the Anderson Bridge to shoot. As more walk passed us, some photographer also follow what we did. The media coverage photographer had a little shock when he turn around and saw us on the bridge while he was walking to another media cage to cover others Straights & Turns. The media then took his camera and snap all who climb on the bridge. I had one candid taken by a stranger. hehe..

Courtesy of Jenns, Thanks!

(Stranger I mentioned)

Medias getting ready..

Marshal doing last check before F1 Practice start.

Cleaning Debris from Formula BMW.

23:15pm- End of Formula 1 practise. Back aching, leg aching for doing stunt on bridge, basically exhausted. Walking toward MRT station is killing me when I am smell of sweats and body aching. Tonight will be a very good sleep after a long tiring day.

... Day 2 to be Continued...

Lowepro - Inverse 200 AW

2009-09-23T22:34:00.001+08:00

Finally bought a Lowepro - Inverse 200 AW beltpack. Hope I made the right decision to have it replace with the current Lowepro - Orion Mini. It eased my mind of squeezing the camera, lenses and battery into it. Now I can even has the battery grip standby in the beltpack in case it is needed.

Easy for traveling and walk with less weight. hehe...

Portrait Assignment.. Continue Part II

2009-09-19T22:42:00.005+08:00

Sunny and Rainy Saturday afternoon during my part-time job, I took a few minutes break at Pavilion. Enjoying my ciggi break with fellow part-timers I saw this cute kid and took a few shots before she ran away.

Only two (2) out of five (5) shots are acceptable.

Portrait Assignment...

2009-09-15T17:24:00.004+08:00

About a week ago while having a drink with my friend, we came across about photography. Photography is new to me that I still don't understand in many ways. Testing different lenses and angle I was then given an assignment. Haha..

Miss World Malaysia 2009

2009-09-09T19:43:00.006+08:00

Tadaaaa... Miss World Malaysia brought to you by me.. haha..

Again was my first trial shooting during a Press Conference. A bit clumsy with settings and time was limited for me. Big thank to my friend (Aaron, i-Choice Mag.) brought me to Sunway Resort Hotel & Spa to have this opportunity to shoot and also Yann for borrowing me her Flash. Sad that couldn't manage to snap all 20's finalist. Flashes came from all around me.

I also met Mr. Wilfred Yeo, Sales Director of Sunway Resort Hotel & Spa. "Gaya" as always.

The next final selection should be around next month. I shall be prepare with a better lens and do my settings before the girls walk up. Enjoy the photos and comments are welcome so I can improve.

Open Track 06/09/2009

2009-09-07T22:48:00.008+08:00

Three weekends in a row? *Siao* hahaha.. Another weekend I spend about 4 hours on the track shooting. Borrowed a motorcycle from the marshal as me and my other friend go around the track for some closer shot. What to do? Trying to practice more before my next task in Singapore. Trying all different setting and again it is still not good enough.

Seems to be worst than my first shooting during Japan GT.

Hence, this weekend open track is like private session maybe it is also a fasting month and Sepang International Circuit open it to public three time in a row on the weekend. A few marvelous lady driver driving a Honda S2000 and also the Nissan GTR R35. I manage to get a few laps again on my friend's Nissan Silvia S15. hehe.. It was his second time to the track with lesser cars this weekend he manage to familiarize and push even faster.

It's time to rest a little for this coming two weeks. Shall send the camera for a clean and service and then ready for Singapore on the month end.

Open Track 30/08/09

2009-08-31T00:53:00.005+08:00

Wasn't what I expected for this weekend shooting. Traffic condition on track was awesome with nice weather.

At least today I got to drive a Nissan Silvia S15 for a few laps. Brand new taste of rear wheel drive on track. Sadly, I started to like it more... How? Cannot afford to stand for installment yet.. :(

Alright, spending my Merdeka Countdown posting here. Let's share my photography of the day which I myself do not get too impressed with it.. (Suck!)

Impromptu getaways..

2009-07-29T19:59:00.008+08:00

Hmmm.. Had an impromptu photo shooting outing. Northern trip just nice enough for the weekends. Had a quick stop by at Taiping, Perak and continue to Penang.

Weather in Taiping was superb for scenery shooting with nice blue skies. A big thank you to a newly met friend for getting me into the Taiping Zoo for free and get some nice walkabout photography shots.

The next morning traveled to Penang Island. A bright sunny afternoon was killing me terribly. Getting tough without a CPL/ND to help reduce the direct sunlight. Will be back again for another shooting. :D

Getaway: Sungai Lembing, Kuantan

2009-07-03T01:46:00.006+08:00

This small town is located 42Km Northwest away from Kuantan Town. It is a quiet town whereby many tourist would come for a glimpse of it's past glories.

If you like waterfall and to see the sunrise/sunset this is the right place to admire the beautiful scenery. Next thing you can enjoy is the famous Yong Tau Fu and Noodle at the Pasar Lembing.

The small town of Sg. Lembing, Kuantan

So many Associations in this town.

This the resort we stayed. Average Rm65 - RM80 and whole house at RM1,400.
This house has 14 rooms.

It's 0600 and we are on our way to the Rainbow waterfall.

The climb is to begin...

O.K. Peoples, grab yourself a stick and ready..

The water is so cold.. Ouch...! Stones...

We just made it across the river.. :D

Halfway through.. (Help! Leaches on my legs..)

Getting warmer..

Not much water as didn't rain night before.

Mom felt relieved as finally made it to the waterfall.

This the dangerous biting bitch hiding next to the rock.

No Fear..! I got it... LOL..

Usually its beautiful when it rain night before.

10:00, when the sun get to shine in.

Only restaurant for Dinner. Food is great here..

Not full enough..? Roast Pork. Is famous..

Another early morning and sweat.. Mountain climbing for Sunrise View.

Halfdead after an hour climb just for the view of sunrise.

Some call this "Misty Mountain", some call "Sea of Cloud".

Super GT International Series 2009

2009-07-01T14:58:00.006+08:00

This was my 1st attempt of photography session with my friend at Sepang International Circuit. I borrowed my brother-in-law's Canon 40D on that day. Without any knowlegde using DLSR and knowing how a panning shot is done. Spending 8 hours walking around the paddock area, drooling over those who have their pitwalk passes to get close up shooting on cars, and GT babes.

Somehow, it was a great experience and manage to capture some good shot on 1st attempt with 18-200mm lense.

It started with WLA 1311

2009-07-01T13:11:00.012+08:00

Those were the days..

It's July 01, 2009. Today I found my blog which created 3 years back. It is totally blank and now I decide to do some posting. I won't be writing a lot as I really hate to write.

My brown biatch...

My 1st owned, Proton Perdana V6.

This piece of metal brought me lots of friends and many places with friends I met. Since then I spend most of my time on it. Effort I poured on it uncountable. It went for autocross, track (Speang & Pasir Gudang), Sunday morning hill attack drive with a bunch of friend from car club. It's now SOLD to used car dealer last 30th December 2008.

There is no information of this car specification to share as it's nothing great to shout about. The mods and research is fail. Here's some photos to share.
