Happy Birthday to Yap...

It was Yap's birthday yesterday and we (Danny, Gary, Sebastian and me) planned to have the whole day hanging out with him and we decided not to buy a cake for him because he already had three cakes the day before. At first, we planned to go to the hot air balloon fiesta in Putrajaya after our lunch in a Taiwanese Restaurant, but due to the super congested traffic and too much crowd, we gave up and decided to go for a movie. We went to the nearest mall there, Alamanda but they have very limited movies and none of the movies were interesting to us. So, we walked around and we found out the clothes were also have very limited choices. Not long after, we began to feel tired and we decided to go to Starbucks and have a drink.

Later at night, Danny sent Sebastian home because he wanted to change to a nicer outfit and while he do that, we went for dinner at a Western Restaurant named Cowboy Steak House near to Sebastian's house. After that, Sebastian came to join us again and we went clubbing at The Marketplace. Aaron came to join us later. I kinda like the place and the songs there were so danceable but we just danced a while because the dancefloor was quite small and packed. We could even feel people's sweaty skins and the smell. We had so little space to stand and we could hardly dance. That was why we went up to the balcony upstairs to catch some breath. We decided to leave around 2am and we went for supper at a very famous mamak called Steven's Corner in Pandan Indah. Then, around 4am, decided to leave because we were very tired. That's all for this post. A Happy and Amazing Birthday to Yap again. Hehe. Tata.

Photography Assignment 02: Reshoot...

Went to KLPAC (Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre) with Pauline on Tuesday after celebrating Jeffrey's birthday. We did have some difficulties going there such as going down at the wrong station, people didn't know what is KLPAC when we were asking them and finally we were able to reach there by taking a cab at Sentul East station. When we were there, we were awed by the amazing sight of the whole place. Now I'll let the photos do the talking.

[I like the the decorations here]

[The Japanese Tea House]

[Administrative Building in the Koi Pond area]

[Duckies... Pauline took so many pictures of them]

[Pauline at the Tea House]

[Needless to say, I wanted to take pics too... LOL]

The sky was turning blue and we were so happy because our lecturer loves our photos to have blue skies. But besides taking buildings, we also took some time to camwhore. Haha.

[Pauline's idea of getting my leg lifted]

[The sun was shining brightly and directly at us]

[I like this few pics because they somehow brought out a Summer-ish feel]

[Pauline's turn]

[Thank you and a curtsey for you]

[I saw this wall which was perfect to take as a background and I asked Pauline to help me to snap a few photos and here are the outcomes. The sun shone directly at that place and I love the Hot and steamy feel]

[Help... I'm melting]

[Pauline with the wall]

[Me bonding with the wall]

Enough of camwhoring. Hehe. We actually took a lot of photos but I only selected some because I didn't want this post to be flooded with pictures. Of course I won't forget about our main objectives here and below are the four photos I selected for final submission.

[I'd chosen this because I think it's very nice and the lecturer said I was smart to use those water marks to make it look not so boring]

[Interior of KLPAC - Mr. T said it doesn't show anything and someone said it doesn't make any sense during the critic session... sad...]

[Japanese Tea House - a lot of them like this and the one below and I got good comments for being able to send out the message I wanted to portray in this two photos that are calmness and serenity and peaceful and relaxing... yay... happy happy...]

[This is definitely my favourite pic and I got good comments for this just the same as the above]

Well, we got our third assignment today and we were required to take people or landscape with some rules or basic photography principles to follow. Hope I can really do it well again. That's all from me for now. Wish me luck. Tata...
