I took this photo accidentally while trying to take the pic of the scene (that’s what happened if you’ve been holding your camera’s shutter button halfway for more than 3 minutes trying to compose. Your finger just gave up and it snaps) where people are enjoying the meal.

After some ‘post-processing’, it would make reasonably nice promo (for whatever), no? Hehe, I hope Bahar won’t start chasing me with his cart full of acids afterwards. *runs*

There’s a few more photos of this event in the Flickr! Gallery.

I haven’t really been so serious about photography until recently. I’ve been into photography since I was 15, of when back then I was awarded an SLR 35mm Camera from my old man. Dads sometimes have this one soft spot when they see their kids like to do what they like to. Like, my old man loves photography and when he sees I’m so into it, he got me a cam. It was a Yashica 109mp manual focus SLR (with motorized drive) along with Vitacon 28-210mm f3.5-5.6 lens, with Yashica Flash (can’t recall which model). Nothing really outstanding, but this camera brings me loads and loads of fun (and loads and loads of saving up allowance to process the films afterwards. Haha).

When I entered the University, I still bring the camera around, until the digital camera age started to creeps in. By that time, I got myself a Sony Mavica. Back then in the year 2000, the sensors weren’t great yet. So I opted for Mavica due to its versatility in using easily-obtained floppy disks. However, I picked the wrong model and ended up buying a 0.3megapixel (640 x 480 max) ones. Even with this shortcoming, I really had fun with the camera. In fact, it is still alive today, with the only problem of the dying Lithium battery. Getting a new one of those will set me back a few hundred. Jeez. (more…)

If you have seen my previous post called “Trash Engineers“, this is the installment of the series. Enjoy.

Top: These are at the ATMs center in MMU Cyberjaya. The trashcans are practically empty (especially the big one). However, all the transaction slips are littered like nobody’s business.

Top: Drinks - the often forgotten ‘trash’. People buy drinks, hang them somewhere, and then forget about them. Even when they’re almost full!

Top: For this one, apparently someone failed to differentiate a trash can to a mailbox. I wonder if the word ‘Cyberia Smarthomes’ really does only refer to the houses and not the people.

Stay tuned for more installment of “Trash Engineers“

Today’s my birthday (yeah, I’m getting old. Isn’t that obvious?), and Bebe is treating me Pizza Hut. We ordered the Cheesy Bites, and we seriously underestimated this meal of its filling ability. So we ordered a Lasagna, since its between 3.00pm and 6.00pm that time, and Pizza Hut is offering a special rate for certain meals between this times.

The series of photos above is about the struggle to finish the Lasagna after fully stuffed with the Pizza, Mushroom Soup, Breadsticks and Pepsi (click on the image to view a slightly larger version of it).

I was archiving the images and video clips from my N70 earlier (out of boredom). Found some stuff for me to post here. Nothing extraordinary, but some are amusing (to me, that is).

Reason why not many cars can park at Bangsar LRT station. Look at the gaps!

This is a customized, modified, tampered (whichever suits your style) installation of Windows XP SP2 + Patches + Common Drivers That Doesn’t Come with Windows XP + MS Office 2003 - All in one CDROM! (I wished he had done the interface a bit more Microsoft-like, rather than this “trying to be cool” style)

I just love the title.

How some tabloids catch people’s attention (Note: The tabloid on the bottom rack says “Restore your Hymen”)

Anyways, me and Bahar accidentally went into Plaza Sental (we’re supposed to go to KL Sentral!) and tried to park our cars. After seeing the suspicious surroundings, we decided to park at the KL Sentral anyways, however, on the way out, there’s nobody manning the parking booth! So it created a mini-jam on the ledge.

About ten minutes later, one attendant come and ask everybody to reverse and go through another lane. What the?

Sorry for the vulgar title for this post. But I couldn't seem to find a nicer name for certain people I see around. Well, actually I didn't see them, but I saw the outcome of their actions.

Edit: I've given it some thought and decided to change the title to be somewhat a little bit more proper

You know how Malaysians are pretty good at littering? I thought it was bad enough they throw, spit, or leave their trash/junks all over the place, until I started noticing another kind of people, who wouldn't, ever throw their rubbish in the proper place, but have the effort and courage to actually do something a little bit more 'hardworking' - yeah, like balancing an empty can on a door's hydraulic damper?
