Street Photography by Sarawak Bloggers

Dated 28th August 2010. Sarawak Bloggers organized a street photography. One of our famous street photographer, Robin is back at Kuching to give us some guidelines on what and how to shoot nice and natural street photos. Honestly, it ain't easy. Cos you have to know that not everyone wants their face to be simply photographed by you. Some will be friendly and smile while some might be shooing you away =D

So let's get started. I picked out these few shots which I like. Make your judgment later =D

Meeting point, right in front of Old Court House at 8.15am. I was on time! =D

I did edited a few of these photos. The one above is one of those I edited. I love the color after editing. Hehe =D Looks more sunny~ Well the sky that morning was kinda gloomy.

This Jalur Gemilang was taken by Cyril. Not bad boss! Least I can color them =P~

After everyone came, we start off to wander around India Street. Everyone was busy buying cloth to make Raya clothes.

WhoOsH!!!!! I CAPTURED THE IKAN BILIS FLYING!!!!!!

Electronic baby motion bed. But with plastic bags???

Fwwwaaaaahhhhh~~~ My eyes SPARKLED when I saw all these biscuits and cookies!!! Reminded me of the old days when mum used to bring me to the shops opposite Miramar and bought them. Awwww....

Now that's a friendly kid =) Thanks for the smile boy!

Morning call with a ciggy. Chilling eh? =)

Berwarna-warni!!!!! KARERFOOOOOOOLLL!!!!

Setting up stall early in the morning, preparing for business.

Raya cards can be seen all over =) People do ask me, who still send those cards? I tell you, I do! I mean, my office does. Hahaha!!!

Taking a break and look around the scenery...

Green, brown, orange, blue, red and white!!! Ohmigosh!!! Not only clothes are colorful but drinks too?

Taking a break from cleaning up eh? =)

Multi-colored bulbs anyone?

Morning news~~ Erm....ok I just noticed that Cyril and Rodz are in this photo =D

Charles Brooke's Dockyard. Was it Charles Brooke's? Forgot. It's still Brooke's anyway.

Old mosque...

Best side parking award given!!!

Busy busy busy traffic before Raya comes~ Rush rush rush for last minute shopping!!!

Uncle! Iboh tikam timun tok ok? Thank you. Haha! When we were capturing the photo of this uncle, the lady at the side told uncle that his photo is being captured but he ignored us. And then Eve was saying 'Luckily you don't see the cucumber coming nearer to your lens'. Hahahaha!

New place to dry clothes? Right under the sun. Good!

Umm...ok you can ignore the photo above cos we were just randomly playing around =D Oh and that's Norman in case you wanna know. Hahahaha!!!

Lorong Market...Never know there's such lorong.

I heard that Cathay used to be a cinema. And there's actually lots more other cinema in Kuching during my mum's youth! Mummy even sneaked out to watch movies with friends. Eng eng!!! =D Tapi when go home ahhh...kena marah lah tu~~

This friendly uncle was telling us stories about Bishopgate. He told us that there's a peppermint tree in Bishopgate!!! And it's from Australia!!! Anyone knows? =D Bangga aku~

This is the tree. And and, he said if you bring it home and put in water, mosquitoes won't come. And and and, we did brought it home!!! I mean Cyril and Fahriee. Not me. Hahahaha!

A cute doggy guarding Bishopgate. There's a story behind this gate =)

Let's walk like tourist!

Crouching tiger hidden dragon. Really hidden. Hmm....

I have a thing for dragons pictures on pillars and everywhere in a temple. Probably cos I'm a dragon?

I found this hotel somewhere opposite Waterfront. Looks classy. Would love to go in and snap some photos. Next time probably? =D

Overlooking to Old Court House....

Kuching is known not only for our GREAT LOCAL FOOD but also a very CLEAN AND PEACEFUL CITY!!!! Agree or not it's up to you.

To those of you who missed out this outing, you seriously missed out A LOT!!! COS IT WAS AWESOME MAX!!!!! Experienced a huge different way of life and walking around like a tourist and seeing Kuching like how a tourist sees, how can you ever beat that?

Friends and Effort

Image
Friends. They come and go. Everyone cross path with you for a reason. Either to be your lifelong dependable friend or just to teach you a lesson. Some come and go as quick as the quicksand. Some stayed on for couple of months and take their departure once the mission completes. While some, is just a phone call away since day one.  So how do you know who belongs to which category?  The answer is, you don't. Living for 30 years, having friends for as long as 20 years, I realised that it is all about the effort. The phrase, 'It takes two to tango' is so accurate that it can even predict the rainy and sunny days. What kind of effort are we talking about here? We're talking about the effort to make friend(s) and keep up the effort to make that friendship last with even the smallest step. Have you ever thought about the effort you make? What did you do to keep that friendship? Or the effort your friend(s) made to meet up, to call, or merely just a simple text...

Dr Sun Yat-Sen's Resident

Chinese New Year is officially over. Gotta roll back to normal work days no matter how much you hated it. But well, it's another start! So heads up peeps! Stay strong for year 2011!!! The best has yet to come! Does anyone here knows who is the first president of China? Let me bring you back to history =D I'm a sucker in history subject in school but I think this vacation had taught me alot about China's history. I get to know who is the president, who is the patriot and who else is who. Some of you may say that this is boring but I think what's boring is just texts on books. Try going to a school where they bring you all over the historical place. I'll tell you it's fun! I'm lazy to introduce much. If you want more info, you can always ask Google. Haha! Here is Dr Sun Yat Sen's house in Guangzhou when he was young. Man this house stood there for over 200 years!!!! He was a Chinese doctor who then known as the Founding Father of Republican China...

Random Updates 12-07-2011

I feel like a lost lamb now. I just want to crap everything out and off. You know how life can be at crossroads at times? But man, mine isn't at crossroad now. It's as if I walked into a dark forest and can't find my way out. I've been feeling down and stressed and I don't know, maybe even depressed. I don't know who to talk to about this stuff. I can't talk about it to people around me cos they will all say about the same old stuff. What am I talking about? It's my career, my future. Previously I have goals and aims and future dreams. But it seems to have shattered into pieces cos certain reasons keep pulling me back. Back in secondary school, I dream of becoming an accountant. A chartered accountant just so I can do the easy job. Sign the documents and get paid for my signature. How easy is that and how stupid I was to even think that it's an easy course. So off I went to major in accounting and my life was peaceful. It was until college that eve...
