Tioman...the wonderful island

Yeah...its been awhile i didnt post here...been tied up with work n project...
But i managed to kill some times to have a vacation at Tioman Island..went there my my ex-SMAPL old boys (ain,ikan,pokpih,jamil,potet n apad)..

Tioman Island located at Pahang is one of the main tourism attraction here in Malaysia. And i'm proud to be Malaysian...got lots of nice place to go...
After 5hrs of driving from KL to Mersing, we take a ferry to Tioman Island..It takes approx. 2 hrs to reach Kg. Salang (known as the best place in Tioman). And for the first time ever in my life I had SEASICK!!FML..its terrible lorrr....

We stayed at Salang Beach Resort, chalet for quad sharing is about RM145 per night.After that, straight away go for swimming la...hahahaha...unfortunately the rain pours down but we didnt care the rain and continue swimming...

On the 2nd day, we took the island hoping package at the resort. It costs RM 70 per pax and its include the snorkelling gears. We choose to snorkel at Coral Island (Tulai Island), Malang Rocks and Long Beach (Tulai Island)..and its totally awesome..Subhanallah..

Le Tour de Langkawi 2010

Le Tour de Langkawi 2010 (LTDL) memasuki edisi ke-15 pada tahun ni...dulu aku ingat lagi masa 1st edition lagi LTDL lalu depan umah aku (time tu aku dok kat JB lagi)...punya la laju...tgk diorg race je aku rasa cam nk jadi cyclist gak...maklumlah masa tu baru darjah 4..

This year i've got the chance to go out and shoot the race...me together with Nik and Black went to Maju Junction Mall to catch the race...sampai kol 12,kitorg trus cari port nk shoot...Maju Junction Mall is the best place to shoot la at the moment (ada byk angle leh shoot)...nk gak test skill panning (walaupun x berapa nk reti sgt). start kol 1 lebih...1st group smp..take a couple of shoot...then tuning the cam..another group of cyclists arrived..approximately 600 shots were taken during 6 laps race around KL..but only a few is successful..no pain no gain...practice makes perfect..there is no easy way to achieve the target unless u keep trying...a few shots that were taken during the race...

From Putrajaya to Broga Hill...

Broga Hill.wooo...at first I really thought that Broga Hill is somewhere in Indonesia..the name is to unique for me...like Mt Bromo n so on...i went there for the first time last year and the view is so fascinating and breath-taking...what should i say, we are lucky bcoz we got a lot of nice place here in Malaysia...

Broga Hill located at Semenyih..near to Nottingham University. Last week for the 2nd time me and my other alpha kakis went to Broga Hill again..Start hiking at 4 in the morning...our mission is to shoot star trails..n this is my first shooting star trails..just browse thru the net on how to shoot star trails and some infos by Mr. Razlan (sifu star trails ni...) then i got some idea how to shoot star trails..
Here we go...some shoots taken that night...

::Taman Bukit Jalil::

Sabtu lepas 20 Feb 2010, aku ngan geng2 Central Alpha Legion (CAL) ada wat outing kat Taman Bukit Jalil..Actually this is my first time went there...the sky was blue, so its a good day to take photos...enjoy the pics....

Luminous Fotografix

After thinking2 for quite some time, i've decided to create new trademark for my photography passion. At first didnt know what the suitable name for it..after browse thru the net n dictionary this name come up in my mind...LUMINOUS FOTOGRAFIX...i've been involved in photography world since i was in secondary school lagi..but at that time just using my olympus trip la (kamera pakai kodak)..then upgrade to digital camera...first digital camera that i have is olympus also (forgot the model already)..there is so many moments and experience that i capture with that little cam...and for the first time in my life, i've won 1st prize for the photo contest held by Virtual Malaysia website title of festive season..from that moment, i've made up my mind to upgrade my cam...pakai PnS pon leh menang contest,kalau pakai DSLR sure lagi cun kot (that's what in my mind la.....)then i've browse through the net until i found Kodak kamera (can zoom ley) prize around RM500..with tight budget, i've grab the camera from lelong.com...yahoo!!
after half a year using the Kodak kamera...i upgraded to better version la..i bought myself Sony Alpha A200 a day after my birthday (30th Jan 2009)..dunno why i bought Sony at the first place (most of my fren using Canon n Nikon0...but i had a feeling that sony also can produce great pics (if the photog know how to take pics la...)
Now i'm using A700 (dream come true) and i'm proud to be alpha user...

Balik kampung...wowowo...balik kampung!!!

Cuti tahun baru cina aritu aku dan adik2 ku balik ke kampung melawat atok n tok ayah kami...futhermore my younger sister (Aifa haziqah) pon belajar kat sana..so, aku amik la cuti ari jumaat aritu n decide nk blk Kangar Perlis pada mlm khamis...aku yg drive all the way sbb mama n abah x balik...ada sedara kat umah, xkn nk tgal je kot...after 8 1/2 hrs drive from Putrajaya to KL (plus berenti 2 kali tido...x tahan ngantok beb...) kami pon sampai...cuaca kat Perlis mmg lain macam panasnya...kata mak lang aku, dah dekat 2 minggu perlis x hujan...nasib baik panas ada angin gak...xde la bertambah panas sgt...kulihat sungai pon agak kering kontang gak la...nothing else just sawah padi yg terbentanng, langit yg membiru serta burung2 berkicauan...aman damai rasanya (walaupon panas...)

first day (Jumaat) kat Perlis aku hanya tdo je sepanjang hari...maklum la drive all the night long...

second day kat kampung aku mula xleh dok diam...nk kuar jalan2 cari foto...huhu...bermula dengan sunrise sampai la terbenam matahari aku jln2...gi Padang Besar, Kangar, Arau, Kuala Perlis n byk lagi...

third day, aku decide nk bwk adik2 n sepupu2 aku jln2...aku plan nk gi Wang Kelian arini...actually this is my first time gi Wang Kelian walaupon aku dilahirkan di Kangar...sampai2 je aku tgk view kat look out point Wang Kelian was spectacular...Subhanallah...syukur kehadrat Ilahi kerana dengan limpah kurnia-Nya aku masih dapat menghirup udara segar dan menikmati keindahan ciptaan-Nya...

After 4 days at Perlis, i'm going back to KL...i wish i could spend longer time there but need to work maa (plus afraid heavy trafic jam lagi...)

Apresiasi Biodiversiti Tasik & Wetland Putrajaya 2010

February 2 is World Wetlands Day

There are people all over the world working for wetlands. On World Wetlands Day, celebrated on February 2 each year, these people collectively stand up and proclaim the benefits of wetlands.

Why February 2?

On February 2, 1971, countries around the world came together and signed the Convention on Wetlands (an Intergovernmental Treaty) - the first ecologically focused convention – Ramsar, Iran. Since then, 158 countries have signed the Treaty, including the U.S., and 169 million hectares of wetlands (1828 sites) have been designated as Wetlands of International Importance. In the U.S. there are currently 25 designated sites. The U.S. National Ramsar Committee (USNRC) was formed to support the goals and objectives of the International Convention on Wetlands.

Last weekend (6-7 Feb 2010), I'm able to join the Wetland Day organized by Putrajaya Holdings in conjunction with the Hari Wilayah (1st Feb 2010)...
and one of the activity held is Photography Workshop & Contest...
and guess what???i'm the first runner-up winner for Photography Contest...YEAHH!!!
