Yup, if you are a Malaysian and you had a chance to get on a plane before, you should know where I am now. KLIA (Kuala Lumpur International Airport, Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Kuala Lumpur) yeah ~~~ Thanks to Edward who made all the effort to send me all the way from Petalling Jaya to KLIA. The whole trip took around 1 hour, and it's very boring along the trip, since both of us are tired and sleepy already. Thanks to Edward. And as reaward, he got a set of Value Meal for free.
Well. I am damm bored here in the airport. How i wish some international chick will drop by and have a nice chat with me now.
Maybe I really miss home so much... it's only another 4 hours to get on the plane, but it's feels like 4 more years before I can have a nice breakfast back home. Actually I just been home few months ago, but there will not be "enough"...
Just for all of you guy's information. I originally was born in Lahad Datu, small little town that dun even have a name in Google World, what a pity. My hometown is the best place to be after retirement. Why retirement you will ask. Coz everything was so slow and relax over there. No one runs, virtually no traffic jam if you compare to KL, no polution, and for me myself, the best part of my life is there...
I never like KL, serious. But it's not the people here. Almost every KL people i knew here treat me so good. Like Cindy, my ex-manager for my first-till-now-job, Ah Fai, Edward, Keneth, Edward, Ah Boy, Ah Beh.... then recently Kok Yuen, Steven, Ah Wai....more recently everyone in PhotoKaki like Eric, Adrian, PCLong, AndyGoh, AndyWong, Ah Wong, Melvin, Keeny, jtkl, and Suenz .... Sorry if I missed out anyone, and please comment if i did missed you out from the list. hehehehe. Getting old already loh....
Thanks for all the taking care of AhTak all the while ... but you guys gonna miss me so much which i wont be around for 8 days... heheheheh. I hope that I did somehow brought some fun when I was around ~
Gong Xi Fatt Chai to all of you guys ~~~
回家真好
唱:刘德华
电话不停在吵老板不停在闹
总逃不开工作表做完了又来了
怎样也甩不掉
回家感觉真好别管世俗纷扰
把一整天的面罩忙和累的大脑
都往热水里泡
让没一颗细胞忘掉烦恼
我的家就是我的城堡
每一砖一瓦用爱创造
家里人的微笑是我的财宝
等回家才知道自己真的重要
双手能为家人而粗糙
班么荣耀那么骄傲
你为我把饭烧我为你打扫
啊回家的感觉实在真的太好
.....................
Will be flying off from KLIA back to Tawau in another 14HOURS .....
So miss my home,
so miss my family,
I just want to go home now...
HHmm.... Dun think so lo....
Last night me and Ah Lei, and Hon Zhai (Jimz) and Xiao Mei (Jowie) went to Avenue K and take pictures ~ modeling shoot this time.. Bring everything I've got and they cost me almost 10KG... Damm...
Guidance... Faith... Destiny...
Seen It, Been There, Thought That, Snap It !
Dare not to say that I am a photographer, since my pictures are not any better than anyone else's. I seen pictures that's million's time better. People telling me that they've been around the world so many times.
Here I just want to share what I have seen...
Where I have been to....
What's my thought for it....
I snap it down and share with you all ....
Hope you guys enjoy the stay here........
When everything is frozen in time,
when we went into the deepest sorrow,
when others might be having fun,
when you say the last good bye.....
All the while I have the best Photographer as my friend and I dont know. See the guy in the picture ?
He is handholding a camera at the following setting... ( What we can see in the tiny LCD on the camera)
-Shutter at 1/10
-f3.8
-iso at 400 maybe
click here if you are not sure what these are
My understanding is .... no one can handheld and camera set at shutter speed at 1/40 or less... and this guy is doing it at 1/10...
It's always great to have bunch of idiot friends shitting around, beers laying around, and fighting for what songs we should play for the night... I love Jazz music, or maybe lounge, Ah Lei anything will do, Edward have no sense to music at all, so don't bother, and Khin will like that Top10 in FM98.8. HHhmmm..... Different people will have totally different taste. Different taste then come differet opinion which lead to argument and maybe fighiting at the end, if you don't know where to stop, you got what I mean ?
Friendship doen's comes easy,
And not easy to keep too........
iPhoto is good.. for simple editing and management only. If you think you are PRO or REALLY THAT GOOD, please stop reading, this article may cause serious damage to your "Love for Windows"... or some call it "Love for IBM Compatible"... Or some call it "Normal Computer"... WTF, what does "Normal Computer" means ah ???? I am not an English Teacher nor Language Specialist... but the term "Normal Computer" ( which they refer to Windows Platform Computer) really make me sick and panas....
Anyway ....
Remember that I have talked about iPhoto in 1 of my ealier blog ? Apple came out a new one few days back. Is the iPhoto06, 1 of the software bundled together in the iLife 06 software suit, for Mac Only. But today I will just talk about iPhoto, and maybe later for the rest of the softwares in iLife06. No time mah, me busy man mah, have to take alot of pictures to keep you viewers stay in ahtak.blogspot.com mah.. hehehe
I think alot of Windows users will either use the Windows XP built-in picture viewing features or some will use ACDsee as the picture viewer and to manage thier picture files too, where I also use ACDsee back in the Windows time. Pretty powerfull and easy to use I think, but that's before AhPang (Zero5phh) show me iPhoto on his PowerBook.
A good thing bout iPhoto is that it's the combination of ACDsee ( to allow fast viewing of picture files), and the traditional pictures management, where user have to determine where and how to store thier files using folders and hell alot of sub-folders. That sounds ok if you 1 or 2 hundred pictures. what if you are like me or L B ?
see the clear area on the top left hand corner in the picture? This is how easy you can have all of the pictures be sort as how ever you want. Theve a master library to store all the pictures there, and when you want to have a copy of that picture in anyof the album, iPhoto will asign a shortcut of the original file and put that in the album. No double copy of files!!! Yeah ~~~~ So that I can have 1 master copy and few "shadow files" in different folder. Some of you might say:" Ceh, i can do the same in Windows lah, just make a shortcut only mah, my nenek also know how to do lah~", yes, I agree that maybe anyone in this world will already know how to make short cut of files. But say, if you want to copy or burn or email the whole folder of pictures where there are some "shortcuts" to your friends ? Nah, see, the Windows is still not smart enough ler, the stupid computer will copy the shortcut only, not the original file. And when your friend open that up is his computer, the "shortcut" will not be able to go back to the original file which is still in your computer. Got that ? If you think you already lost here, please email me and let me know, I will get back to you as soon as possible.
But the iPhoto very smart ler. When ever "shortcuts" in anyof the albums in iPhoto are being copy, the iPhoto will automatically retrieve the "original" file and let you copy that.hehehehe.
Above is one of the new features in iPhoto, Full screen editing. Yeah ~~~ But please, all my beloved viewers. iPhoto is only got a little bit of touch up only, If you cant merge pictures here, you cant change people's faces to anothere here also, cannot do frames also, no noise reduction, no lighting effects, if you NEED all this ( I hope you know the difference between WANT and NEED) go buy Adobe Photoshop CS2 (RM3xxx) or PhotoShop Elements for half the features(RM 3XX). Wah !!! What? Expensive ah ? Ofcoz ! you want PRO mah, want change people's head to other mah, pay loh ~ Dun want pay ah? Dun use loh ~ hahahaha, simple. ( Damm, I can feel my LanC-iness already, hehehehe)
note to L B: everthing in the iPhoto06 is at least 2 times faster than the iPhoto05
But iPhoto does let to do color corrections, contrast controt, exposure, leveling, curves, red-eye reduction, color temperature, tilting, and cropping, and resizing for email ( direct send to Mail). Not good enuff ah ? Then I think you should come to me and ask for a quotation for Adobe PhotoShop CS2... No I am serious (hahahahahaha).
Here is a sample I play with iPhoto:
I did a Crop, Leveling, push a little of Contrast, tuned the White Balance, and Saturation also... Better ? Good enuff to do a 4R print and put in on my desk already lah ~~~
Do let me know if you want to know more bout iPhoto or Mac...
Some idiots happened to be in Avenue K KL last night ....
