Sudden Change

noreply@blogger.com (Wilson) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 17:59:23 PST

As I was resting on the couch, my six senses told me that something is going to happen soon. My camera was just beside me, so I boot up my camera, and went out the house.

The garden are waiting anxiously for the event to happen, they are thirsty I can tell it by looking at the dry leafs.

Each leafs and flower paddles are looking up the sky, they move their trunk forward and backward. Like a dance to welcome the soon to come heavy downpour. Hoping that the march of the rain drops would come quickly.

Is like a thirsty vampire who haven’t suck blood for centuries, and after I finish adjusting my camera settings. I took a shoot of the thirsty looking leafs and flower. They didn’t respond to me, they only hope their rain dance will call upon the god of rain and he will respond back with juicy rain drops.

The sky roars like a beast, and the sound vibrate the soil and my heart. I look up the sky, and felt something dropping on my face.

It felt smooth; the sprinkle became larger and larger. I use my hand to cover the camera lens, as I afraid that it might damage the lens. The sprinkle became large downpour with just a split of second.

I was squatting that time, but had to stand up and run to the porch for shelter. I wipe my face with my hand and look at the plant.

The god of rain had answer to their prayer, and gave them a lot of gift. The each rain drops are racing to reach the soil. Is like a thousand arrows shooting at their target “the earth”.

While I’m heading for cover, all the leaf and flowers are embracing this remarkable moment. They are like a dry sponge sucking all they can; they know disasters are coming, so they are trying their best to keep all the food they can.

Plants have this instinct, so how about us human? We keep on destroying all the natural resource; keep on harvest with no restriction, what if one day all of this resource stops?

The world move very fast, from a dry ground to a wet land. Mother Nature creation had long ago adapted this behavior, and they are ready to embrace it at anytime. Can we do the same thing?

After the war, everything became so peace and quiet. The bids came out from their shelter singing happily after Mother Nature bless them with the fresh air, and natural fuel “the water”.

The fearsome clouds solders had fade away tiredly and slowly after the war. The ants’ craw out from their tunnel home to inspect the damage cause by the rain, and I look at my camera lens the moisture are still there, I took a shoot at the flower.

The output are as sharp as usual, I took a deep breath to receive this gift form nature. It was fantastic.

October Blood Donation @ E-Mart Supermarket

noreply@blogger.com (Wilson) — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 17:24:28 PDT

I promise my friends that I’ll meet with them at 7:30am for breakfast. By the time I finally woke by alarm, it was 7:30am! And that’s not good. Quickly prepare and rush to meet up with them.
I’m helping out the society with the blood donation campaign today at E-Mart supermarket at Matang. That place was crowded with people, and was hot as well. I check on my blood pressure and it went from the normal 130/80 to 140/90 damn it. I cool myself down after that, as is already 3 months since my last blood donation.
Glad to see that there’s a lot of kind people there who willing to donate blood. Is a hot weather out there, but fortunate enough the crowd still bear with it, and despite the long queue as well they still wait patiently for their turn.
A lady doctor from the blood bank is hardworking, that I saw her working non-stop checking all the donors’ blood pressure.

This is where the blood type is check before donor proceeds to donate their blood. I’m a bit phobia when that needle stung my finger “ouch” @_@

Registration, I’ve also check on my sugar level. And the result is normal, so exercise is good for health.

I love my D90

This is the hardworking doctor that I mention, very hardworking, very processional. We need more doctor with attitude like this. If there’s more, our country will be save…

The blood that save life, some people are afraid of donate blood (so am I) but have to think when we or our family needs blood, hospital will provide this to us. But if we selfish and hesitate to contribute a bit, is that fair to the society?

A Malay family (whole family) came and donate blood, a kind family.

Thunder Strom @ Friendship Park

noreply@blogger.com (Wilson) — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 07:41:03 PDT

Just when I finish my jogging around 7pm, I saw on north site of my house the clouds gather and became a group of dark clouds. And I can also saw some thunder in the clouds.

Some slow shutter speed photos, the IDS is keep to 200

The lightning are not strong enough, not very satisfy with the outcome. And also I dont understand on why are there additional light displaying on the photos? I didn't adjust any other setting besides the aperture and shutter speed.
Or is it because of the camera lens?

My buddy Kenny Chew’s Big Day

noreply@blogger.com (Wilson) — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 00:26:47 PDT

Once upon a time. A land far far away, there was a King who planned carefully for so long for a rescue mission. He waited that day for so long, and that day had finally come, today as one of the trusted brothers, I am on an important mission. To assist the king (the groom) to save his queen (the bride) forms the evil monster from the dark tower.

We a gang of 13 young brave souls were vest to become the fellowship of the king, and embark on this dangerous mission to assisting the King in rescuing the beautiful queen.

When our red, black and white stallions are ready (I was on the red one), off we go to fight the battle. It was a point of no return, and we all volunteer on this.

Though our lives were in jeopardy, but there’s an old saying “no pain, no gain”. And we’re doing this for the happiness of our king. So is all worth it, and this is that we’re train for.

When we reach the dark tower, already the queen is visible at the very top of the tower shouting “Help, Help! Come save me.”

And so the battle starts, we were tested on various aspects, each time when it seems to be no hope at all, but with the power of team work we know that there is nothing can stand in our way. We fought and fought.

We understand that winning is always not easy, the obstacles at the dark tower is no walk in the park as well, it became harder and harder each time. However, the battle had last over an hour’s and it finally over after that.

We broke the dungeon gate door, and the King rush into the cell room immediately and save his queen. It was a touching moment that time, seeing both of them holding hands and caring for each others.

Well~~for us, we do get our rewards also *wicked smile*. And that night, to celebrate our victory we all had a wonderful feast. And this also marks the new beginning of our King and Queen, and they live happily ever after.

Picnic @ Kubah National Park Waterfall

noreply@blogger.com (Wilson) — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 07:45:11 PDT

I join a bunch of friends on an adventure trip to the Kubah National Park, I had been here for so many times and had also climbed the Kubah Mount once but didn’t notice that there’s a waterfall here.

I woke up at 6.30am, and went for breakfast around 7am. It took half an hour of car drive to reach the Matang Family Park Stage No.2.

After reach the park, we drive up again to park our car at the Kubah National Park. The entrance is RM10 adults, there’s also group fair as well.

At first we need to hike all the way up to around 900m (30 minutes), and then there’s a sign board showing where the waterfall is. OMG! Last time when I came here, I can’t believe that I missed this sign board. And from the entrance to the waterfall, is jungle trekking time.

It rain last night, so the surrounding are very humid, I’m so worry that it will rain. There are 20 of us, and some walk fast some slow. For me I stop occasionally to photograph the lovely flora. Due to the humid condition, fungus mushroom are everywhere and with different sizes.

There’s a very strange tree, with a flower blossoming on its tree trunk. This is indeed very interesting as I had never saw this before, a tree with just one orange color flower.

For our group member, some complain that they are tired, some very energetic. Some even can speak monkey language by shouting “kuak kuah”, and surprisingly the monkey shouts back to us.

This is the first time my D90 company me to jungle, and I’m worry that it will get dirty. Compare to my Olympus last time, she was build for the thought so going to the jungle is no problem for her. D90 seems a little bit fragile, and plus she’s new. So each time I take extra precaution when taking photos.

40 minutes had pass, and I can hear the sound of the stream water. Yes, this is the sound that we all expecting so far. I’m very excited on how is the waterfall looks like. The last time I visited a waterfall (a huge one) is about 20 years ago at Brunei, the waterfall is about 2 story high, the water is deep where you can dive from the top of the fall, super cool.

Another 10 minutes later, finally we are here. I wrap my D90 is a plastic bag, and start to explore the place. The creation of nature always impresses me with beautiful scene. We climb all the way top of the fall, and I look down and I worried that I’ll fell down.

The stream water was cold, and this is good. I took a lot of slow shutter photos, and also a lot of close-up. Each time when I try to get a shoot, there are a lot of tiny bees flying around me. They didn’t sting me, just that they keep on bugging me and shit at my body and camera with yellow liquid. Ar~~~ how can I concentrate like this! Damn it!!!

After the photograph my friends and I star to swim. The water are freezing, after a hot journey here is very rewarding to be able to cool down and let the water massage my back. When I was at the very top of the fall, the place was so wide, and the water was flowing on the floor. It was very slippery; I just slip from one place to another, very fun. Just have to be careful if overslip, then I might become a flat pancake on the ground.

Some of my friend they help to start the fire, and for today menu we have barbeque lamp, chicken wings, kompia (Foochow bun), fish, and corn. Each time after swim I’ll felt extra hungry. And the barbeque lambs are just perfect for filling up my appetite.

To explore nature are always my passion, and I’m lucky enough to know a bunch of friends who knows a lot of hidden place at Kuching which allows me to explore. Next time I should bring my brothers here for picnic.

Mid Autumn Festive visitation @ Sarawak General Hospital

noreply@blogger.com (Wilson) — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 19:57:38 PDT

Is my favorite visitation, well not that I like to go to the hospital. Just that glad I am able to bring some special occasion joy to the unfortunate friends.

This year is the mid-autumn visitation again, and we celebrate together with Hari Raya as well. I was happy that the society keep on serving the patients with vegetarian dinner, this not just help stop the killing of animals, but can also ensure that all our food are suitable for the Muslim friends.

I started out with my broken Malay introduction (damn it, I should really learn to speak proper Malays, my Malays really sucks). So after the introduction, we also wait for the rest of the patient to reach the cancer ward.

It pour heavily that night, and we were expected a lot more to come for the dinner and enjoy the show that we have prepare.

It kicks off by a magic show from a 19 years old young magician. OMG is he great, I should ask him to teach me some of this tricks, so I can have something to show next time.

What is the mid-autumn celebration without eating some moon cakes, so yesh, we are fortunate enough to get sponsors to sponsor us free moon cake, and this is to share with the patients.

And free balloons are also given away free that night.

It seems that the patients are happy with the balloons made by the clown, this is a very young clown probably few years old younger than me.

And what is mid-autumn like without playing any lantern right.

So for that night, we also have a silence session for the patients to pray for their happiness, health, and anything they wish to be. This is where I always told myself to be grateful in life, I’m very fortunate to be bless with a healthy body.

The society also gave complementary gift to the patients who won the luck draw pick.

This is me with the clown.

As always, the top photographer Wilson Chin

Night view of the park, I've took a lot of blur photos. Still not use to my D90, and this are some of the shoots I 've made by using my friend tripod.
It was really fun, we sit beside the man-made lake (hm~~was that consider a lake?) eatting mooncake, watching people lit their lanterns.

孔明灯 The Kong Ming's Lantern was one of the hightlight for lastnight lantern festive.

Visitation to Bintagor, Sarawak

noreply@blogger.com (Wilson) — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 22:40:49 PDT

View Larger Map

I follow my friends to visit a small town called Meradong (Sarikei Division, Bintagor District). From Kuching to Bintagor by car is around 4 hour with an average 120km/h car drive.

We reach my friend hometown at around 4:30pm, drop by his brother's house (Inherit by his pass away parent). He told us some stories during his childhood time.

This Myna Bird it can make many Human Voice, it even knows how to say "你好吗" (how are you) in Chinese....cool!

My friend's brother raise chicken, bunnies, and Ginnie pigs. The bunny is so cute, I pat the rabbit body, the fur is soft. Just like a doll.

Every place has a symbolic signature, at Kuching - Cat, Sibu - Swan, Sarikei - Pineapple, Serian - Durian, Limbang - Buffalo, Miri - Seahorse, and here at Bintagor is Grapefruit.

Meradong Town view, the population are most native people, then most of the Chinese are doing business here.

Most of the Chinese are fuchow dialect people. And where there's fuchow friends I know that there's delicious kanpua noodles. The Kampua noodles made by fochow people are the best.

The water transport service to Sibu and Kapit. To Sarikei is just a half an hour car drive.

Most of the Chinese people here operates small grocery store, and coffee shop. There are only one hotel here which is the Ming Kiong Hotel (own by Dato Ting Pek King) and the Sarawak Tunku Abdul Rahman College will build here in the future as well.
Since no entertainment here, I can guaranty the students will all have good results.

The dry market, I haven't see a small ducking and chick for so long. It's so cute!

We went in a small grocery store to buy water, and I saw a very old Television by National. The owner told me that when Malaysia start broadcast television, he bough it at that time. It was around thousand plus.
So this television ages 20 years plus, and is still working (Made in Japan). I have a old radio (red color) and was made in Japan as well, my father bouth the radio since I was around 5 years old, now I'm 28. The radio still functioning well until today, Japan product is good.

Worship Grandpa @ July Lunar

noreply@blogger.com (Wilson) — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 05:20:56 PDT

Went to cemetery at Siburan around 6am this morning, this month is the month of July in Chinese Lunar. So follow the hakka tradition we need to pay respect to our pass away ancestor by cleaning the grave, and worship them.

I watch Hong Kong Cantonese series until very late last night, barely wake this morning. :S I need to sleep early tonight.

Most of the people who live on the village area are hakka dialect people. So they still follow the hakka tradition, which require to come worship our ancestor twice a year.

Morning mist, there was a thunder storm rain this morning.

I was hoping to get some sunrise shoot, who know is a misty morning. Have to wait next year.

The Race to Durian Mountain @ Kampung Pandak

noreply@blogger.com (Wilson) — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 13:16:50 PDT

My friends called me up, say will drive me to a special place for photography, and eat some durian. I wait them at the selected place, and after half an hour they’re still not here. I was getting sleepy, and start to fall asleep, and suddenly my phone rang. Yep, it was them. I hop into my friend’s car together with my D90.

We wait for another group of friends on our way to Santubong, my friend told me that we will be going to Kampung Pandak. Is the place where most of the durian sellers get their durian from. It is a durian manufacture factory :S I don’t really crave for durian. But if there are a lot of friends eating together, the taste will be nicer.

*sign* I’m a bit disappointed cause I tough I can go to the sea, to take some photos. But in the end I guess we all have to squad beside the road eating durians. While sitting inside the car, I close my eyes to rest for a while. The car bounces a lot, which I can’t rest properly. I saw my friend make a left turn, follow by a left turn again, the road become narrow and narrower. “What is this place?” I asked. “We’re here.” My friend said.

After I realize, we’re surrounded by trees, and not the ordinary rainforest trees, but a whole mountain of durian trees. I surprise to see that there are so many trees around here. My friends are all durian lover, and I can’t imagine how long they’re going to stay here.

My friend drive slowly trying to look for a place describe by all the backseat passenger. “Is here, no is there, opss no I think is here…” direction keep on changing. That time I check my mobile for signal just in case if I’m really lost at least I can call U right :P.

Finally we’re there, we drive up a small hill. The owner from one of the land was outside his house, he was picking leafs which cover around the durian fruits. He look quite friendly, but always with a cigarette in his mouth.

It seems like my friends and the owner know each others. We told the owner that we wanted to climb the durian mount to see if there’s any leftover durian :D he reply with half of his mouth open (because of the cigerate), “You guys did wear long sleeve? Should wear, many mosquito.”, and “pretty girl like you should wear a pairs of boots, the rocks are sharp up there”.

The chubby old man then lend us two pairs of boots, one straw hat, one basket to put in the durian. So the race is on, the owner said we can keep what we found on the hill. OMG! This ah pek is nice. Without second tough, off we go to the durian mount. Along the way, at first some of the girls complain why no durians, but after we found one, then comes the second, and third, and more.

Going up the hill is not an easy job, there’s a lot of rocks along the way. And have to pay extra attention when going up the hill, with just one slip it may not kill you, but it will definitely hurt badly. They just can’t wait much longer, so we all stop to rest, and EAT :D

They are unbelievable, we didn’t bring knife to open durian, guess what they use?? Their car key :S
And some of them use hand only, I have tested some and the taste is nice. So we all ate one, then second one, then third, and lost count.

The view on top of the hill is magnificent, we don’t found much on the hill top. So we start to going back to the small house. When we reach the house, we continue eat again. This time is on the chubby old uncle, he just keep on open the durians and told us to eat. Some of my friends volunteer to work for him when the next durian session comes. They enjoy the fun of looking for durians :D

Good time pass by fast, we all went back with a stomach full of durians, and also with lots of durian to bring back home. We bid farewell to the owner, and will see him next durian session.

Besides busy eating durians, I’ve shoot a lot of photos as well will post it up in my next post.

The evening @ Friendship Park Kuching

noreply@blogger.com (Wilson) — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 00:49:13 PDT

I stumble on a blog from China, she's a art student have to learn drawing from morning at 8am till finish class at 6pm. Her lecturer bring them to many place to draw, China has many stunning scenes.

I went to friendship park to learn photography yesterday evening, not really satisfy with the outcome. Need more practice, I need a macro lens :P

I'm playing around with the aperture mode, hm~~still not sure on how to make some part blur.

a dad is playing soccer with his son :) while I'm shooting the pink flowers.

hm~~the aperture settings really made me headache, I've seem a wedding photos before. The photographer perfectly blur the background scene, and sharping the brides and her family in the front. Wonder how he do it?

When the sun shines on this flowers, its like a coat of gold layer cover on top of it.

Yesterday the evening scene is not good, the sky is dark and hazy :(
Can't take good sunset scene.
