This is a must win game for KL Dragons to remain in ABL Playoffs 2010.
At first two half Dragons was able to lead up to 10 points to
Patriots. Dragons is playing good defense to stop Patriots. Home fans
cheers loud for their players.Entering second half Dragons tend to contribute higher turnaovers and
low field goal rate. Meanwhile Patriots are coming back by player
substitute strategy. Same time tiredness are shown on Dragons due to
hardwork they perform in first half. Patriots took the lead. There is
still chance for Dragons to tie the game however they just missed the
last few scoring attempt. Their foul strategy is unable to stop
Patriots and they do well in front of free throw line. Final score
70-65 and Patriots has entered Final game.

This is my second time to Batu Caves for Thaipusam celebration. I highly recommend everyone to witness this special celebration because
it is very unique and at very large scale. Beside Hindu devotees,
tourist and photojournalist around the world also flew to Malaysia for
it. There are few new highways build nearby the Batu Caves which is
pro and cons. Pro is where you can see the great Lord Murugan statue
from the highway and of course the cons is the flyover now blocking
Batu Caves. I also notice the park inside Batu Caves has been turn
into temporary theme park which I feel too commercialize where
religion celebrations mixed with modern fun play.
I am joining the Tamron User outing. Same time I can test drive my
70-200 2.8 lens at battle field. We started from the new KTM station
located next to Sungai Gombak where devotees preparing them self for
the celebrations. It is a good place for behind the scene photography.
Then we join the devotee to caves. Few high photography stations has
been prepared by organizer this time. One of it is about 8 feet high
and suitable for tight crowd shoot from high point. The way to top
cave is super-duper crowded. It took about an hour for me to reach to
the top. There are three staircases to access to cave. One for going
up and another for coming down. The middle lane is interchanging for
up and down traffic. The kavadi carrier usually access via center
lane.

I take few snap shot up there before return. My brothers who tag along
with me lost his wallet since he kept it at back pocket. I saw many
foreign workers also happen to be in Batu Caves. Just be careful and
very alert to avoid pick-pocket.

This is a lingerie fashion show as dream by most men. Bunch of DSLR
photographers with heavy weapons standby near stage since 7pm The
party start at 8.30pm which is kinda late than the stated time. Is it
what we call Malaysian timing? Event delay 1 hours from scheduled time
is pretty common. Also the guest only filled up the dance floor by
that time.14 candidates in cherry red spaghetti top make short introduction to
audience. Some of them are too nervous and forgot to speak and emcee
remind them. The next round is long awaiting lingerie walk. The girls
come out as duo and the ultimate flashes firing to the right spot. The
final walk is bra + fishnet leggings which is the last call of the
night. The photographers keep pushing and I had lost my strategic base
near the show end. Audience vote for the 12 finalist to be featured on
online voting later. You can visit to sensualalingerie.com for your
favorite girls.There are performance in between the fashion show by pole dancer Viva
Vertical and another energetic hip-hop group. As usual, guest are
invited for stage contest for catwalk and pole dancing while voting
result is in progress. All guest also entitled in final lucky draw of
the night.

Someone please remind me the name of the hip-hop dance group and they
are really great!

Audience in pole dance. Too crowded and this shot is above head without aiming viewfinder.


Everyone is winner!

Ice cream and fried chicken are most Malaysian favorite. How about to
have both same times? We have an outing to Klang for Yao Yao Ping and
Fried Chicken. The restaurant is located at Jalan Young, about five
minutes from Tesco Klang. In front of the shop actually is the kitchen
where you order food and same time can observe how the crispy chicken
is made of. It is a bit crowded because people were queue for their
order and it reminds me the situation in Melaka Jonker Street.
Happy customers are leaving the restaurant.

Quick snap before  aunty see my face. She is serving Yao Yao Ping.

The busy feast queue to die for :)

When I am waiting my food to be served, these little face told me their satisfaction of eating here.

Yao Yao Bing is ice-blended drinks, just like ice-blended coffee. It
has far long history in Malaysia before ice-blended coffee is made
popular by some international brands recently. There are six type of
Yao Yao Ping flavor sold today: herbal tea (longan), kedondong, coconut
milk (bubur cha cha), red bean, cendol and sour plum. The best of course is
sour plum which always be my choice since I was a primary school
student. The price is rm1.50. There are other flavor available on different day to keep you coming back for it :)


Six flavours! You can have this everyday. Mix flavor is available.
Inside the restaurant. You can enjoy hot fried chicken in air-con hall.

Deep frying secret recipe in progress…
After have some icy drink, here come the fried chicken. It was golden and crispy look. The temptation is high when all chickens stack on a small plate and I only manage to snap one picture before the chickens

are snatch away by friends. The frying are so even and crispy, no
additional herbs or spices flavour, it only taste fresh chicken. Eat
with sauce for the best enjoyment. This is very homemade kind cook
compare with most fast food restaurant around, it is classic!

Following pictures can cause high stomach temptation. Skip looking too long time.


Ayam percik, Chinese burger and popiah. I feel like a student!

The Chinese burger in half. Top layer is fried egg, mayonnaise then bun.

The restaurant also sell wantan noodle and some light snacks. But we
have another plan which is heading to Pandamaran food stall at Jalan
Polis. The famous dish here is still fried food, and more than 30
types of it. The fried banana is the best here. The banana are cut
into half like a butterfly shape and fried with crunchy flour. The
price is rm0.50 per piece.

Hot fried banana.

See the shape. Pizza?

Another specialty of the stall is cai kueh (also known as dumplings),
which is pan fried and very silky. It’s orange colored, never seen
them in such way before. Dipped in a pool of watery sweet chili sauce,
it’s Nickee’s favorite. The price is rm0.35 per piece. She was
addicted instantly and packed a few home. I liked the prawn fritters,
rm0.50 per piece too, awesome to eat dipped with another type of
sticky chili sauce. Too many fried stuff can be heaty for your body so
we ordered fresh sugar cane drink and 6-treasured tong sui to cool
down.


The Cai Kueh or vege dumplings.

Cai Kueh main ingredients – bean sprout.

Let’s start from work desk. Can’t recall when was last time I actually
doing this. Found some interesting stuff, also memories. Snap some fun
photos.

Is it a Pandora box to change my life?


Someone told me Dragonfly is friendship.

My breakfast mug. Last used : 2 years ago

My notepad or executive planner :P

Many notes and ideas, also unfinished projects and backlogs.. Better don’t open up.

What is this for? Mini garden?


My poor little bammboo. Age: 3 years old. Bought during Chinese New Year 2007. I promise to give you a new home this year.


OK. Pretend to work hard and no one see me snapping photosss….

Photograph in December 2009 at Tanjung Karang. Two days back to back after the Malam Inai of the couple. My brother was not with me in this job so I’m solo photographer. He felt tired and need to recover from last night shooting. Yeah, you need passion to overcome tiredness in wedding photography :)
Today theme is pink and maroon, fabulous!
Photograph in December 2009 at Tanjung Karang with my brother help on detail shot. He is on 50mm lens and produce very nice cinematic view. I should let him expose more in this kind of work for his talent. I love the milky white and pinkish decoration around the house. It is very warm and romantic, a bit like Chinese wedding mood. Salma told me she actually seek advice from her Chinese friends about it.
This is the first Asean Basketball League for me. It is home game of KL Dragons vs Singapore Slingers at MABA stadium, Kuala Lumpur. Dragons must win the game in order to keep the semi-final door open. It is full house crowd and the Dragons’ form is good. In beginning of 1st quarter Slingers lead the game with their fast break. But soon Dragons found their pace and overcome the score by at three-pointer very soon. The home fans supportive has boost the score gap further.  At half time break, Dragons is leading comfortably. Then lucky guest are invite to court for 3-points, half-court and free throw shoot challenge. The half court challenge jackpot is now RM49,000 since no one manage to break it. You might wan to try your luck :)
At the last quarter seen more physical play by Slingers and their tactic is effective to closer the gap. More fouls play to stop the game clock and Dragons is doing well in front of the free throw line. There you go, Dragons won and you still have chance to see them at MABA Stadium if they make it to final four. All the best and let’s go Dragons!

National Anthem, Negaraku.

The spring is near

The countdown to Chinese New Year has begun. Most shopping mall has
transformed into little China and I can see many shoppers around. By
end of this month is will be more crowded. The reason is salary pay
out at that time :P I was in The Curve today and it is featuring a Chinese garden theme
surrounding by many bamboos and lanterns. There is Chinese dance
performance during weekend. The stage is low so you can get very close
to it. Although the Tiger year will start on 14 Feb 2010, however in
almanac the spring day actually begin on 4th Feb 2010. The Tiger
energy will start by then. The spring is near and have your new
resolution ready?


This is the stage. See the gap between the center bamboos, it actually a hidden entrance for performers


Tanglungssss


I like Chinese garden inside shopping mall

Some performance pics. It is entertaining and beautiful.







The first shoot of 2010 goes to Kirthi Kayshen birthday party. Kirthi
is very active and doesn’t like camera. His parents have to attract
his attention while we get shutter and flash ready. It was rainy and
we missed the chance to have some nice outdoor shoot. I like the
birthday cake with many toys on top.
