Waikiki


Waikiki, originally uploaded by Adrian Tan.

Yeap...just came back from there less than a week ago. Hawaii is a really beautiful place. What can I say? Just like how you see it in the movies and postcards.

This picture was taken at the peak of Diamond Head on a breezy afternoon, overlooking whole of Waikiki beach. 5.5 hours of flight from SF, 6 days and five nights....just gorgeous. Too bad I was down with a fever and sore throat during the last leg of my trip. Could have done more shit....

Anyway peeps, I'm coming home...sometime middle of August...

Halfmoonbay

Been a while! Something to let everyone know that I'm still alive. I'm happily busy and in the middle of the biggest transition of my life.

This picture was taken 2 months back. The building in the picture is the Ritz at Halfmoon Bay. Beautiful golf course, classy hotel and excellent food. What can I say? It was a perfect day to take some shots.

It's been a while!

On the average, I think I'm updating my blog once a month...hmm, bad.

Nope, I have not taken any pictures lately, and my camera has been sitting on the shelf ever since I got back from Penang 2 months back. I should at least take it out, charge the battery and more importantly, clean my lenses.

Perhaps tomorrow...maybe not....it depends...I don't know.

I'll be heading back to Purdue next month for Pei Shan's commencement. Hopefully I'll get to snap a couple of cool shots.

Saturday night, here I am sitting at home, resting...looking through my photo album and trying to select some photos to edit. In case you're wondering, I spent my Friday night partying up in San Francisco. Astrid puked on my blazer! She said I deserved it for making her THAT drunk. Do I really?

Anyway, back to the photos. Managed to find only a few 'scenic' shots of my fishing trip at Lake Bersia. I don't think they are very nice, but I just had to find something to post here you know?

This picture, obviously it's the tip of our fishing boat, or raft...whatever you call it.

Lin "Eh, how come there are so much water here?"

Me "I don't know...shit...it's taking in water!!"

Marc "Where? Oh crap...OI KARIM!! Sini ada lubang besar! Macam lubang buntut aku"


Ok, we didn't say that. So, throughout the fishing trip, we had to constantly unload the water using a plastic bottle.

Lattern --> Lantern!

Someone has been complaining to me that my blog has no updates and it's boring (yeap, she's right!) So, on a Friday night, I've decided to look through some of the pictures that I took from home. Found a few 'interesting' ones, most of them are from Khoo Kongsi. The next few pics were taken there, or at least somewhere close to Khoo Kongsi itself.

I do have more pictures to edit, but I just don't know when I'll do it. Feeling a bit lazy. Someone needs to push me. Enjoy

The following two pictures were taken somewhere close to Khoo Kongsi vacinity. Nooo...they were not taken during the 1950s.

Man on raft


Man on raft, originally uploaded by Adrian Tan.

This was taken during my fishing trip. Took a few shots of him, but the rest didn't turn out as good as this one. Talking about the right timing, right moment... he turned towards me and looked straight at me...*snap*

It was evening, we were on the way heading back to the pier, but our boatman decided to bring us to one last fishing spot. Instead, we saw this old man setting his fish trap for the night. Empty bottles on his bamboo raft will be used as floats for indication.
