A boyband from Hong Kong is making a 2007 world tour. They wanted me to make an advertising poster for them. So, I told them "Sure!"..."Come to San Francisco...I know a place just for it"
So, they came...and I took this shot for them....and also did some simple editing as well. They were happy with it and in return they gave me the rights to blog and distribute it.
Lol...go figure....
Anyway, very first photo entry for this year! Wow...been almost 2 months since the last time I posted pictures over here. I still have a few more pictures to edit and post. But hey...at least it's a start for this year right?
Chinese New Year is coming up and I'm going home to celebrate it after nearly 6 years of absence. In conjunction with that, I'll be attending my high school's friend weddding in Australia. Gosh...one by one is getting married.
Anyway, Happy Chinese New Year peeps. Hopefully this year will be a lot better than last year.

Boyband
Golden Gate in sepia
Beautiful San Francisco!
I've been here for so long...and I have not taken any nice pictures around here yet. So here you are...
This was taken when we were passing the Golden Gate Bridge. One hand was holding the steering wheel while I pop my head out, the other was grabbing the camera trying to snap the picture while another hand was making zoom adjustment.
If only I had 3 hands. Lol...good thing that I wasn't the driver ther other day. So, everything was true except for the steering wheel part.
Pier59
Taken at Pier 59, San Francisco. If you look closely at the lower left corner of the picture, you may be able to see some seals lying on the platform. I don't know...might be too dark to see it.
More sunset pictures below!
Sunset Fishing
Talking about the right place at the right time...
This was taken at one of the stop along 17 mile drive in Monterey, CA. I was driving along the road trying to find the best spot to capture a nice sunset. Finally, I found this nice spot. Along with me, there were other 30 over Korean tourists waiting for the moment. Needless to say, I whipped my camera out, and pushed my way to the front. I'm sure some of the tourists did say some nice things about me, but who cares? I don't understand Korean at all.
I really like the boat right below the setting sun. I'm gonna cry...
Oh come on, I'm not that emotional! I nearly cried when Henry scored the winning goal against Man Utd though....
STFU!!
Some of the older picture I took when I was in Madrid.
I think this man was already irritated by the non-stop yakking from his wife. I'm trying to eat my Churro!! Will you STFU my love?!
Old man
This man...he has this 'don't mess with me' kinda look. I think he was trying to tell me, if I snap another shot of him, he's gonna break my camera.

Happy New Year
I know I have not been blogging for amont 2 months now? I've been traveling quite a bit for the past few weeks. Of course, I took some pictures, but now I need sit down and slowly edit them.
Spent my Christmas at Lake Tahoe, was hoping to snap a few good ones, but I didn't manage to.
What else? Hmmm, didn't know that I can actually use my google account to sign in for blogspot. They had this little 'upgrade' that I had to go through, which screwed up a bit of things on my blog. Shit! my tag board is gone! Crap, means that I have to get another one.
Anyone excited about the new iPhone from Apple? I reckon this year will be a busy year for me. Have a good one everyone.

Serious Thinking
I know what you're thinking...NO! We're not a gay couple that just had a fight....no no no...We were just trying to solve the world's problem...
Just a candid shot taken my Eu Jin's (left) sister. Decided to edit it a little bit...not bad, aye?
Full Moon
Well, I took this photo last weekend, it didn't turn out as nice. The left side of the moon is not really sharp. I was comparing this shot and the shot taken at Lassen...although the one taken in Lassen wasn't a full moon, but I think that one was a lot nicer than this. I tried to crop this an enlarge the moon, but it turned out to be so grainy and blur. I was thinking so damn hard...how did I do it last time to make the moon so much bigger (not necessarily sharper..) and nicer..compared to this one. Then, suddenly it hit me...Lassen shot was taken 8000 feet above sea level...of course the moon will be bigger, versus this one taken in San Jose...3 stories above ground!!! Am I right or wrong?
Plane Across The Sky
Can't belive it...after more than a month...finally another picture posted up from my Lassen trip.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaanyway, what you see in the picture it's not a bird and it's not even superman...just a plane across the sky. I thought it was pretty cool so I snapped it. If you follow the end of the trail...you can actually see the moon...real moon! Haha.. Obviously, I did some editing to make it look like this.

Evening reflection
Maybe I should post one picture up from my Lassen trip...what can I say? Perhaps my mood is good tonight!
I don't know what to tell you guys about my trip, but it was great. Usually my regular camping spot will be at Pantai Kerachut, Penang. Sometimes, Muka Head and once at Teluk Kampi. How cold can those places get? 28 C? Also, I'll sleep like 4-5 hours per night during my camping trips back in those days. But this trip...was really different.
Coldest? How about 0 C? I refused to use a sleeping bag at first. I guess I lost my $10 to Lin. Don't get me wrong...it was pretty comfortable sleeping in the tent at 0 C...and I slept for more than 7 hours! Among all the camping trips I've had, this was the most comfortable...the longest rest I've had...and the most I ate too!...oh...and also the shortest.
We reached our camp site about 2-3pm. Pitched our tents up...and started a fire. Besides a few trips to the lake (picture) in the afternoon, evening and at night...all we did was EAT...yes ..EAT! Between 3pm to about 6pm...we took our time to barbeque some sausages...etc...between 8-11pm...we BBQ sausages, corn, baked beans...oh and steak too. Next morning, woke up at around 7.30 am...started the fire...and guess what...HANTAM some more food!
At night was cool though. Everyone was sitting around the fire, telling unsuccessful ghost stories...haha...I was just sitting there, sipping my Corona and Vodka...life felt good at that moment.
Actually right before we went to sleep, I wanted to take a walk towards the lake again, to snap some 3-4 mins exposure shots of the sky. But it was so dark... I was too lazy.... I had no one to go with me...Vodka was too good...wanted to enjoy the fire...too cold...feet hurts...not enough torchlights...................
OK, I had no balls to go by myself in the dark. Happy?
Chasing car
Well, I wanted to edit this pic and post it up long long time ago, but I tend to find excuses not to do it. This was the last shot taken on our down from Yosemite. Lin was driving the car down on a never ending winding road, all I had to do was to secure my camera on my right wrist with the strap, popped my head out, and snap! Oh..I don't think I was wearing the seat belt! If I want to sit my ass down and spend the whole day editing, I'm sure that I'll have more pictures to put up. I'll think about it ;)
I just came back from a wonderful camping trip at Lassen Volcanic National Park. It was a short trip! Only two days and one night. Stay tuned for pictures...lol...hopefully it wont be too long.

Stinking feet
So...out Yosemite trip was awesome! The only complain? It was too damn short. Six of us went on the trip...3 days and 2 nights...1 van...3 cameras..and freaking 575 pictures! Like I told some of you before...that would make up almost 18 rolls of film back in the olden days.
I managed to edit just a few pictures. Hopefully I can dig out a few more nice ones to post it here. I don't know what to tell you guys about my trip...probably too much to tell. Well...just awesome...will go back there someday again.
