My Bizzare Brainwork Says

Before 14th February

Since Mr.SmallFace birthday’s fall a few days shy from Valentines Day and we all KNOW that valentines day is when all the restaurants and florist get a huge chunks from all mark-up ridiculous prices, we decided to celebrate it earlier

Mario’s Italian ristorante is the choice of gluttony as we have heard so many raves about it.

Huge Salmon Pizza to share. Bigger than my face!

They were definitely very generous with the salmons strewn all over the very nicely hand tossed pizza base.

Ooooo… creamy creamy carbonara This is uber yummy!!

The photos that waiter/waitress took is always blurry fml..why la … T___T I think the below photo look quite sad lor.. Like the entire restaurant no more seat, they have to put up with us at a small table next to the kitchen exit ..

The happy birthday boy!! Must happy la, get his dream birthday present wor…. Now sometimes, I just got ignored at the corner..Regret T__T

Eh, his birthday but I also got gift  hahaha

Now my charm bracelet is almost complete!

So happy! One from all the dearies, one from Family and another one from MrSmallFace..!

Now all i need to do is buy one for myself and I think it’s a complete charm bracelets with blessings all around

Mr.Strong and what’s not..

One of the scene modes in LX3 is pinhole. Which i love!!!! ♥♥♥

The colors are not vibrant. Most of the time they look ghostly.

why do i seem to like ghostly looking photo? Beats me.

Mr.Strong Tees i bought for Mr.SmallFace and my twin ! No progress for both of them also.

Me and Mr. Strong Smallface at favorite hang out place in penang.

I seem to go here quite often nowadays. Almost every trip back to penang, somehow I’ll end up here … turning supersitious or just better pray then be sorry later… ekekekkeke

Diana 35mm Roll #1

Finally decided to post up the photos from my first 35mm roll of my Qing Hua baby. I call it the disaster roll. Most people first roll of Diana would be a disaster roll which we learn from the mistakes we made. I’m considered lucky cos my first roll was okay

Contrary to common belief, using 35mm films would be easier. It might so much easier to buy and develop but i face difficulty when advancing the film cos the indicators seems wrong or i just don’t know how to read it. Plus because its 36frames, there will be more films gathered at the spool, higher chance of getting stuck halfway too.

okay,time to criticize my films..

From my 36 frame roll of film, only 24 managed to be processed and more than half failed :(

#1 This is an example how a nice photo can be destroyed by a lab staff where they usually dont handle films anymore t.t  The below is incorrectly cut and then scanned. Hence the image is not cropped correctly to be center.

The frame that I used for this roll was  square over the sprockets but i failed to informed the shop and i guessed they just cut it all away  Although I can digitally crop it and make it nicer myself but then i’ll be missing the entire point of lo-fi photography.

The common noobie mistake when one uses a fully manual camera is forgetting to adjust the:-

1. Aperture

2. Focus

3. Taking into consideration the film ISO

#2 That’s why some of my photos are too up close, like the entire frame is filled with the focus object. Most of the focus for this roll was set at 4meter, meant to shoot something from afar -__-

#3 Mentioned above, when advancing to next frame, I do not know when to stop turning!! and therefore, overlapping frames…Mistake below are, not focus properly and overlapping.

#4 Double expose film. I think this is nice

#5 Double expose negative too. Wrong aperture setting.

Having said all the above, making all the “mistake” is how i learn to understand my Qinghua better ^_^ and the experience of handling a fully manual camera is fun! Never knowing the end product until you excitedly hand the roll of negative over the counter to get develop

Now i’m in the midst of going through my 2nd roll 120mm expired film. Will share when I have them develop.  Not sure what else was missed out but i think will be well covered in next post. hehe

Would you like to know how to insert the film? or how the 35mm back look like? Let me know..

Gurus out there are more than welcome to leave a comment!!

Wrapping 2009 in a box..

Ps: don’t know why the sentences with links are not showing up in colors or bold..i had linked related words to the post.. -_____-

So 2009 is about to end in a few days TODAY! and it’s a whole new year again. How could time passes so fast?!

Before that, Merry Christmas and A Happy blessed new year to you… I had my Christmas eve’s dinner at a pasar Malam with Desmond-T and Speng followed by Gossip Girls at home. How did you spend yours?

**Okay, I really don’t have the time to blog these day but lady luck smiled on apple4today for bringing down my office system, so basically I have nothing much to do now! Wohoo! **

A quick check on last year new year resolutions, I’m happy to say I kinda manage to achieve it all! hahahaha..

My first quarter of the year, I traveled to Adventourous Krabi and that already tick off the first new year resolutions! ha!

It would be nice to go back in the future minus all the kayaking. Probably more lazing around the town area and more speed boat rides!!

Come march, I met my curbside prophet once again I was so so happy that I manage to attend the concert despite the pathetic venue and horrible air ventilation.

Set off on a road trip to Genting and  Bukit Tinggi for the first time and realize it’s REALLY nothing there wan.. It was a memorable trip as nothing was prepared except booking a room in genting at the very last minute. I love spontaneous trips!

Speeding the post up from here…. -__-

This year alone, I welcome my  white angel, diana qing hua and also the expensive but super powerful  Lx3 into my every growing camera family And with that I vow not to get anymore digital camera for at least 3 years unless some really bad misfortune befall unto my lx3. Also put a stop temporarily to my analogue cameras.. This will be resolution #1.

In June, I blogged about how i shed all the weights I gained in UK due to popular demand wtf.. Am proud and happy to say I’ve not gain back all the weight *yet* although i’ve received remarks from friends that I’m too skinny for my own good. The phrase “skinny”, “thin”, “bony” nor “slim” was never associated with me before so I don’t really mind being called any of it … HAHAHAHHAAH ..

Attended the most wedding dinner in a year for my entire life!! I guess I’m already at the stage/age where people around me are settling down.

First it’s Chrnsz…

Then my best friend’s wedding, Autumn dear... which was a blast!! We had so much fun. I guess anyone will when their close friend throw such a grand party.. 

Followed by my ex-team leader in previous company..

And the latest and craziest of the bunch was from just 2 weeks ago. Haven’t got the photos yet but no doubt the one where everyone had most fun. Important contributing factor was all the groomsmen and bridesmaids was sooo sporting. Not to mention the bride…

In the midst all that, I manage to switch job, got myself relocated back in KL after almost 2 years.

Stayed in Bangkok for 2 whole weeks in a studio suite all to myself which was totally awesome!!

Came back from Bangkok, started my new life/job in KL. Unknowing to many, went Jakarta for 5 days to have some great food. Visited some semi-dead volcano..

Celebrated my birthday just the way I’ve imagines.

Whiz pass it all, here I am, the last day of 2009. Just a few more hours until I get to go off work and laze at home. Hmm, according to the above, I guess I did had a very good year.

I hope that next year would be even better since I will be a quarter of a century old by then wtf.

Surely I’ve missed out jotting down something.. but what the heck, it will be a entirely new year, a clean sheet to start off in merely a few hours.

Till I blog again next year… HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!

The boxes of my memories in yesteryear’s..
