Just a little update about my life here and there. Still working out on the way to become success…haha..As the pro say, there is no shortcut for success. So, what I have been doing lately? Less photoshoot but more video shoot. Preparing some final stuff for the film that going to shoot next week. And in the meantime done some baking cake tutorial video, not sure for what reason…haha…^^ So, nothing big really happen this week. Stay tune for the big update, the film. Enjoy the stills from the baking cake tutorial.
1. Introduction
2. Bake bake…
3. Done.
Yes, as simple as 1, 2, and 3 the cake is done. Oh ya, all the video is shoot using Nikon D90 as you can see the compression is not really good on human skin. On the cake the image look really good but on human skin it look like doll skin.
I have done a miniature quite some time. This is the post if you forget about it.So, I try another time. This is the result. This time more dare to try something different.
Edit*
I have just done some test with the Adobe Photoshop CS5 with my Windows 7 64bit. What can I say more with this awesome software. Running Adobe software in 64 is awesome too. From now on I can edit all my photos in CS5. yea…haha^^So, I have done this noise removal test with Adobe Photoshop CS5. The result is blowing my mind away, awesome.
This photo shoot in Raw format with Nikon D90. As you can see the left is the non touch, just compress to jpeg with photoshop and on the right is the noise removal tools that come together with Adobe Photoshop CS5. Normally, if you do the noise removal you image will be soft and the detail will be gone. Here you can see, the noise is totally gone in this 100% magnification. But, you can see the detail still there. They got a new feature where to bring back the detail even tho the noise is removed. Pretty amazing right? Go get a copy of Adobe CS5. Totally worth it.
Sorry can’t find a really bad noisy photo because Nikon D90 really amazing too in handling noise..haha^^…promoting…lalala….
Every week have got activity, not bad, I guess this is how you can keep life keep going on. On weekend your life sucks because of working, work to get a living, then come weekend where you can have your own time and do your own stuff. That’s what keep you going, even for two days of rest. So, this week, watch Inception and went to MITF (Malaysia International Toy Fair). Well, done you thing this week, once is very good, the movie, and one is very bad, MITF. Inception, a movie where people enter people dream and keep entering people dream, sound complicated? Yea, this is what the movie about. It’s complicated. Well, a good movie tho. Highly recommended from me too. Since I am not good at writing movie review here is the poster…LOL.. Yea, your mind is the scene of the crime, so you need some architecture student help you build the scene…hehe^^
Ok, so this is all about the movie, go to the nearest theater and watch it.
So, now about the MITF. I guess this is bad. Entrance fees RM3, seem cheap. But, I guess they focus too many stuff wanna to make but at the end nothing really come out great. This is the same concept apply to human, if you hope to get someone to do all the stuff, the stuff will never be great compare to one person only do according to their profession. So, event also you need to make sure you concentrate on something then just make it big. Ok, anyway, I pay the RM3, go in for like 10 minutes and I feel like want to go out already because on the other side is wedding exhibition, more interesting uh. I still can remember last time in Comic Fiesta, I shoot like thousand of photos. This event really make me no mood to take photos. See all the rich uncle holding big DSLR shoot those girls and asking for phone numbers. Gosh, man come on, they are so young, they can be you daughter man. Nothing really interesting to show but still I capture some photos so just show it here.
Oh, figure that I want to get. But, it just too expensive to get it. Well, got a shot for it consider satisfy. Awesome right K-On….
They just got 2 members of K-On only for this size. Sad. I thought can shoot for all of the members.
This is the smaller version. Super cute. But they just display one only….argh~
This guys is awesome, go to their website and download for free and you can get yourself this stuff. LINK
Don’t kill me…PLS…I know I am ugly…^^
Oh, gosh the end of MITF already. Then I jump out to the wedding fashion show.
Just got two photos. swt~
Well, really nothing special about to show up here. Just some snap shot taken from what I see and visit. Now I practice it make my photos a little bit different. As you can see snapshot I will make it lomo. Normal photo I will edit according to the mood. Trying into lomo work, I guess it interesting.
“Obon (お盆?) or just Bon (盆?) is a Japanese Buddhist custom to honor the departed (deceased) spirits of one’s ancestors. This Buddhist custom has evolved into a family reunion holiday during which people return to ancestral family places and visit and clean their ancestors’ graves, and when the spirits of ancestors are supposed to revisit the household altars. It has been celebrated in Japan for more than 500 years and traditionally includes a dance, known as Bon-Odori.” – Wikipedia
So, that’s what it mean. I also didn’t know even tho I am a Buddhist. So Bon Odori was actually the dance in the festival. The festival itself is called Obon. But, in Malaysia nobody cares about it. People just say Bon Odori. Ok, now I change my title to the correct title, Obon 2010. Doesn’t that only tell that we went to the festival and not Bon-Odori we went to the dance. Ok, I started didn’t know what I am writing already…haha^^ If you understand good, if no then forget about it. As you can see in lomo again the title..haha^^ Nowadays, all move is in 3D….and now all my blog post is in LOMO.
This year was actually my first year to visit this event. Have heard about it for years and my friends also keep asking me go for years already. But, always there is some reason I can’t go. This year I decided I must go. So, here I am. Have tag together with two of my friends, Agito and Syahid. Thanks to them because willing to follow me to this event…haha^^ I didn’t know why so many of my friends have no interest in going to such a big event (even tho I provide transport to bring them there, they also rejected…swt). Well, that’s all right.
This year, same place, same time, the event will be held at Shah Alam.
So, after all the jam, follow other road at last we reach there at around 6pm, find parking, walk walk, reach around 6.30pm. Went inside there first thing is finding FOOD. And I guess most of the people that went there also because of the food..haha^^. After food we hang around walk around the Bon-Odori dance up in the center. Shoot some photos and videos. Overall, I think it’s fun and of course depend on who you go with also. Wow, go many words here. I guess that all I can write about it. Lets the photo speak for itself.
Same like the previous post, only one photo is normal. Others all lomo. haha^^ If you just don’t like the effect then you can stop reading till the end.
How I wish the spotlight is a moon light. Perfect. Love it some much. I crop the down part because I can’t stand on any higher place, so the down part is not really nice.
This is what I talk about. How can you go there without eating. You can see PAUL there? EAT PAUL!!!!!
This is what I mean everybody go there to EAT!! This is the view when I raise my hand on my RIGHT….
This is on my LEFT view.Oh I got no idea why the girl look at my camera. If you drop by this blog and see this, I would like to say HI to you…haha^^
Ok, lets FULL now. Lets go to the event. This is the stage where they will perform Bon-Odori.

Me : O.O

This is what you get when you first enter the field. You can see the schedule is printed there also.
I drink this for the whole event. Make my face so red….>.<” This is the third bottle that I drink in the car while I driving home.
And last but not least, as usual some simple video to show how excited it is.
Such a great night to go back to MMU and pay a visit to DJ Club event. This event is about Olivia Ong having tour album promo in Malaysia and I guess the first place is MMU Cyberjaya. If I am not mistaken, correct me if I am wrong. It almost one year I haven’t really step into MMU again and I got surprise MMU Cyberjaya culture actually change alot. The students now is more “presentable” rather than my batch all like wearing pajamas hanging around. But, the new generation now all look like kids. I almost though I was on the wrong place. Is it university? haha…all looks like 12-15…LOL…maybe it just me think of it. Maybe I also look like that when I am in the university.
Oh yea, see back the DJ Club I was like wow, now they quite organize already uh. They have done the event not bad actually. But, still got some stuff that’s not going well. If last time we invite artist to our place, we don’t dare to have technical problem on the sound system because we might be scold by the artist representative and the artist will not sing. So, we have to really careful about the sound system and for some big concert we might as well rent a sound system for it. But, tonight Olivia Ong singing the sound system is so bad. All of us might be disappointed because of the sound system, where is the sweet sound of Olivia? Gosh, I write too long about just the sound system because I just can’t stand with it. You guys shouldn’t use the damn cheap sound system for it. The speaker is just for speech not for singing.
But, well, for RM6 I guess that what you get. I bought her album to support her. She really have a great voice. Oh, I was quite surprise with the DSLR users there too. But, I guess this happen everywhere. Almost more than half the people there own a DSLR. That’s quite normal but I can see many of them using L lenses by Canon. Wow, is the DSLR really cheap or the student getting richer now?
Anyway, as always, got camera got photos. But, doesn’t really shoot photo on the night. Because I just went there to have fun only and meet some of the friends that still in MMU. Good luck to you guys who still at MMU, faster get out from there. haha ^^
Olivia signing the big poster. *warning, this might be the only normal photo here, because the following photo will be in lomo*
Well, I guess I love lomo and 3:2 photo too much already. So, here come some of Olivia in lomo effect photo. Even tho, I don’t have money to buy a real lomo camera but well, this counted as lomo too la…haha ^^ I guess lomo only love by some category of people. Others might think this is just a crappy photo. But, its ART!!!
I love this photo so much. Her laugh is so sweet…haha^^
