Weddings....Weddings and More Weddings
|
|
well....its almost a fortnight since my last posting on this page.....
sorry guys....been busy lately 
hmm.... kinda lost a bit and dont exactly know what to write lah since da lama tak nulis kat sini...but yeah, will try my best to entertain u guys with those photos and captions yg i will create for this new entry lah...though i need to be honest with u, all of these photos were all photos lama lah yg i still simpan inside my portable hard disk...
ok ok....actually kan, Last week, i was approached by a friend who wanted me to join him as a business associates lah i can say.....this guy, an old-friend of mine, which happends to be working under the same department with me, asking me to join his business as a wedding/event photographer.....
well.....from the look of his face and the seriousness he showed me, yes i know he means business....
but seriously, i told him, deep inside my heart , i think, i have never been a good wedding photographer as i never enjoy much doing the job...i mean the job as a wedding photographer.
Yes, i do loves photography very much....but my heart tell me, not wedding photography..
though i know, wedding photography can gives me so much $$$$$$$$$$$ .....huhuhu
lots lots of money.......seriously...if u really muka tebal charge people harga ribu2....haha
but as for me....to ask people for the right price(yes....ribu2 is the market price for wedding photography-provided ur gambar pon world class lah).....yep....the problem with me is harga....aku tak tergamak nak charge.....hahahaha
a fellow friend even said to me...."hang ni memang tak bole bisnes laaaa"....yeah really..
aku memang tak pandai bisnes.....
its not like "if u think u re an idiot, then u re an idiot"....no....thats not the case......
tapi yep, kadang aku rasa aku memang payah sket nak buat bisnes nih....
aku tadak skill for business.....
i loves photography for the sake of a beautiful photos....
just to produce stunning pictures......
thats all my intention inside photography.....
apart from that....yep....i loves photojournalism....thats all
so when this friend yg approached me ni offer me to join him as an associates....i ok je lah.....as long as hes the one yg looking for job offer and hes the one yg dealing the price with future customers, then i ok je lah.....
so, today, i ve been busy korek balik all the wedding photos yg still well-kept inside my hard-disk nih.....
and looking back at all of the photos.....hmmmm.....i dont know, whether, it is up to the std wanted by my new business associates or not ....hahahahaha....business associates tuuuuu...huhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhu......
Just enjoy the photos ya :0

Mona Lisa's Smile @ Musee Du Louvre
|
|
well, here i am at the most visited museum in the world......Musee du Louvre.
this is one of the famous museums in the world as it displays the masterpiece of the world's famous artist which is one of them is of course Leornardo da Vinci's ultra-famous portrait, the portrait of Mona Lisa.
before i decided to go and buy the ticket for the entrance to the museum, i ve been doing a lot of reading about it..........
and most of the reviews bout this museum is, I would say..... Negative.
what i mean is, all of the review about this museum is negative if only you didnt prepare and dont know what are u looking for once you are inside this huge, sheer size of the space of the museum.
yep.....with over 35000 collection of paintings and other art objects are on display, it is said that it would take about nine months just to glance at every piece of art work displayed inside the museum........
yep.....you heard me right....9 months .....fuhhhhhhh 
gilo gapo.......huhuhuhuhu.....
so since the museum nih besar gila babas, so u kena tau what are the things yg displayed inside the museum, so that u wont leave the museum exhausted and feeling frustrated tak jumpa apa yg u nak tengok.
so, before i get into the museum, actually i dah buat review.....
my first aim is of course itu da Vinci's Mona Lisa lah.....
then the 2nd one of course itu sculpture of the Greek Goddess of Love n Beauty, itu Venus de Milo
the 3rd one i dah aim is Code of Hammurabbi.......pasal aku ingat lagi code of Hammurabbi ni masa aku belajar sejarah dunia masa form 4.....hhuhuhuhuhuh...tu pasal aku nak tgk sgt ape kebendanya Code of Hammurabbi nih.....
huhuhuhuhuu:-D
ok ok....tak mau cakap banyak.....just enjoy the photos ya 
Pyramide du Louvre........this 21m high glass pyramid is actually the main entrance to the musee du louvre....entrance to the museum lah......
the entrance to the museum is dekat bawah this pyramid.
the Pyramide du Louvre nih designed by the Chinese-born American architect IM Pei.
i didnt choose to enter from the outside of the pyramid as the queues here gila punya ramai......
so i opted to enter the museum via the Carrousel du Louvre, the shopping complex yg connected to the museum...
ok sket...tak ramai yg queue situ 
The Louvre is divided into 3 sections or 3 wings .....
1. Sully Wings
2. Denon Wings-the famous Mona Lisa paintings is displayed here
3. Richelieu Wings- Code of Hammurabbi is located inside one of the room here in this wing
well, here i am infront of the Denon Wing, where the portrait of the ultra-famous Mona Lisa is displayed at.
well, as u can see here, of all the attraction here inside the musee du louvre is actually nothing, compared to the star attraction of the museum.
so, what is the star attraction of the museum?
ada sapa2 mau jawab???
huhuhuhuhuh......hehehe
apa lagi.....itu Mona Lisa lah.......huhuhuhuhuhuhuhu.....
this is the view from outside of the room where Mona Lisa paintings is displayed...
just look at the number of the crowd going inside the room......giiiillllllaaaaaaa 
suma nak tgk Mona Lisa.....huhuhuhu...
i like this photos as it shows people from all over the world goes crazy over Mona Lisa and seen here everyone is tryin their best to get the image of the painting inside their own recording device......me oso not spared for going crazy over this painting of Mona Lisa
one thing that i 've learned here is, once u got the shot that u wanted, then move aside lah.....
as people queuing to get the photos of Mona Lisa .....so please lah my friend.....
once u get the photos...then blah laaaaaa....aku pon nak gak gambar Mona Lisa nih...
aahhhhhhhhhh..........Finallllyyyyyyyyy.....my own image of Mona Lisa
Converted to a museum in 1793, this former royal palace welcomes nearly 25000 visitors every day, which puts the Louvre firmly at the top of the list of the world's most visited museums: 8.5 million visitors here in 2008......thats almost double the number of London's Tate Modern.
The Louvre collection includes 35000 paintings and other art objects, all of which must be constantly supervised. Tens of thousands of visitors leave their mark, especially in
the form of dust, which the cleaning staff hunt down remorselessly every morning.
" And then there's the damage", explains one of the 1100 security staff.
" We have to be extremely firm about that. With the numbers of visitors we have here, the effect can be catastrophic". Wear and tear caused by careless visitors is commonplace: fizzy drinks spilled on the wooden floor, pencil marks on canvasses, footprints on the walls....and artworks dirtied by the hands of people "who don't mean harm", continues the security guard, "but who just can't resist touching".
Far more serious are the malicious acts that must be planned for. even the Mona Lisa was on the receiving end on 2 August this year, when a Russian tourist threw a china cup at her! She was saved only by her armoured glass protection. Its a good illustration of how difficult it is to secure and run such a museum, with its 300 rooms arranged in three wings (the Denon, Richelieu and sully wings). Its a real headache.

Scene
|
|
some of the scene captured inside my dslr.
enjoy 
i like this view of the red tile rooftop of a house near the city of Perpignan with the background of a very clear blue sky. Those two colors are very contrast to each other and i can say the view captured is perfect to be used in a postcard.
And yes, another quessentially French punya view....red-tile rooftops+clear blue sky.
a group of people walking along the old streets in Barcelona with most of the streets here are beautifully lighted with the old-gas lamp yg memang menarik.
if not mistaken, this view was captured in a town named Port Vendres which is located somewhere near the city of Perpignan.
i was just about going inside of the art gallerie when i encounter this scene, with the dog just layin itself infront of the entrance of the art gallerie.
I loves the view as it shows as if the dog is part of the display of the art gallerie.
one of the older building in Perpignan under going a major repair .
i like the colour of the building + the vibrant yellow color of the crane + the clear blue sky.
view of the street in Perpignan + the kereta mini mayat....memang menarik...
a women walk past one of the old-building in the old streets of Perpignan.
the old building seems like a paintings to me.....plus the vibrant colors of the women's outfit, just make a perfect photo to be captured inside the dslr.

On Any Given Sunday
|
|
woke up at 7.30 in the morning, pack my bag then straight to Taiping for my breakfast.
evrytime i m here in Taiping, i will try to not to miss my breakfast here in Bismillah Restaurant in Taiping.
this restaurant has become some sort of icon of Taiping as u can ask any of the Taipingites u know, sure they can tell u where its located, how good the food they served, what is the specialty etc etc.....though i must admit that i m a bit frustrated when i found out that the bismillah restaurant is not even mentioned in the wikipedia about "places to eat" in Taiping.....hampeh betullll.....
u can check out the related article in the wikipedia thru this link ....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiping,_Perak
hampeh kan?
it should be on top of the list of "where to eat in taiping".....
haiyaaaaa...
this is the first time i express my disappointment on wikipedia punya article.
this is the building of the restaurant.
as its stated on the building itself, it was first opened in 1900.
the building itself was built in the year 1932 and was first opened by the members of Indian Moslem Association Members, which was comprise of Mr Abd Kadir, Abdullah and Hj. Mamonhhi.
Today, its still operated by the 4th generation of the family members.
the specialty of the restaurant as stated on the signboard
view inside of the restaurant.
most of the meja n kerusi will be occupied at most of the time, and u just need to be 'ringan mulut' to ask if u can join and have ur breakfast at the same table with them.
this the menu yg i cannot miss everytime i makan breakfast sini.
roti canai double...huhuhuhuuhuh.....(rm1.80)
kuah kari daging cincang.......(rm3)
kuah ori yg dia tetap akan bagi though u already ordered ur kari daging cincang...(free)
and my fav, susu lembu panas (ori punya nih).....huhuhuhuhuhu.....(rm1.60)
layan beb
(err....minus those nasik lemak yaa....those nasik lemak were'nt mine.....its already there on the table masa aku sampai.... )
well, tgh dok layan my breakfast yg memang teramat layan tu, tetiba hujan la pulak...
ribut tadak angin tadak..... hujan?????
well, this is Taiping.....what to do....
u just have to get used with it....the weather here is really unpredictable punya weather...
huhuuuhuhu.....
nasib la belalang tempur aku ni macho...selambe je mandi hujan ...huhuhuh
people queing to get their roti canai,as the tukang uli roti busy preparing the high demand of the roti canai
the owner of the restaurant....
its the 4th generation already since its first opened back in the year 1900.....fuuuhhh
according to the owner tadi, the wall clock has reach 60 years and its still serviceable as seen here is stated the current time at 8.30 in the morning when the photo was taken.
and some antics collector has offered rm6000 for the wall clock, according to the owner of the restaurant.
the yummy roti canai as seen here fried on the pan.
the roti canai yg tak siap lagi....(couldnt find the word in english..huhuhuu)....
as seen here inside the container.
the container consists of 400 roti yg tak siap.
everyday, they sell about 500++ roti canai to the customer, and it doubles(sometimes triples) during the festive season
sorang uli sama tebar, sorang lagi masak
sambil nunggu hujan to stop, sambil nagkap gambar.
sambil nangkap gamba, sambil sembang.
its normal when u re holding a dslr, and taking pictures, of course people will ask, and from there, it will leads to a series of conversation.
and those conversation with those stranger( i mean the public yg eager to know why i m taking pictures), sometimes can become interesting though.....like my conversation with this pakcik which was photographed on the right side of the photo.
it was a biasa2 punya conversation until he started to ask me where i lived.
i said 'taman sri kota', and he replied that he used to stay there dulu...but now has moved to pokok assam.....
then he started to ask,"ayah siapa nama", and aku bila org tanya nama pak, mula la aku dalam hati...."ala pakcik ni.....macam kenal je kalao aku sebut...."huhuhuhuhu
and turned out to be dia kenal arwah bapak.....pehhhh.......
Hariri? he asked......Hariri Bab?
pehhhh.....tercengang aku......huhuhuhuhuh
he is a friend to arwah bapak.....he used to work in the pejabat tanah taiping where arwah used to work.
and he even knows how arwah suffered a heart attack right after his journey from KL, then jalan kaki balik to our house which is located dekat around 7 km from the stn KTM Taiping.
pehhhh...detail beb.....kagum aku as the tragedy was back in the year 1984....aku budak sgt.....mana tau apa...huhuhuhuhuhu......tak cakap banyak,terus aku salam..."saya ni anak dia la".....i told him with a sense of proud.
huhuhuhuuuhuhu....
nama pakcik ni Ahmad b Sahak. he told me that he just got retired 4 days ago from his office in Grik....pejabat Tanah Grik to be precised.
kira dia junior to arwah bapak la.
and we were joined by another pakcik ni punya kawan,in which i forgot to ask his name, but he did told me me he is working as a postman in pejabat pos Simpang.
as the rain beginning to stop, and as both of them ready to leave, i ask them both to pose for the camera.
when i was a kid, i used to merengek to my mum to buy those coklat yg on display kat dalam kotak2 kat kaunter tu...huhuhuhuhuhuhuuhuh
since the 2 pakciks tadi dah blah, and kat luar hujan started to lebat balik, aku pon nak tak nak, terpaksa sambung lagi satu gelas besar susu lembu panas...huhuhuhuh...
what to do....
the susu lembu panas kept warm inside the steel container which is always being put on a stove, while the restaurant workers busy preparing the food for the customers
the bismillah restaurant as seen from the stairs
ok...hujan already stopped. i can start my journey now.
i was invited by Nik's family to attend the open house organized by Nik's Kak Yong.
though Nik is away in Jeddah, as he is transferred there for quite a long period of time to Jeddah, aku cam biasa muka tak malu, tetap datang.....
huhuhuhuhuhuhuh....makan free punya pasal....huhuhuhuhuhuhu
actually i have known his family quite well, and the family also kenal sgt aku....so, once i got invited of course i will come to the house wpon member aku si Pok Nik ni tadak.
seen here myself being photographed with mak ayah Nik
Kak Yong with her husband, bang Yong yg organized the open house somewhere in Shah Alam.
yg ni memang aku tak bole tahan......
the special menu Mak Nik yg every year mesti ada punya....
Nasik Dagang...huhuhuhuhuhu...
memang sempoi punya nih nasik dagang nih....
tak bole celen la mana2 punya nasik dagang.....
memang kelasssss......
as according to Nik's mum, she cooked about 6 gantang beras for the nasik dagang, and 23 ekor ayam for the kuah kari, and also 20kg ikan tongkol for the open house punya makan nih....huhuhuhuhuhuhu.....
and she only gone to sleep at 2.30 in the morning malam tadi nak prepare nasik dagang ni punya pasal.....memang power laaaa....salute aku....
aku terus belasah 3 pinggan.....siap bawak balik bungkus lagi...huhuhuhuhuhuhu
friends and families queing to get the taste of the special nasik dagang yg di masak oleh Nik's mum
haaaaaaa.....pilih dik ....pilih....banyak lagi nih kuah ayam nih.....amik amik...
jgn segan
tengku li dok siapkan air oren
family members gathers sambil makan2
ahh....finally at home around 4.30 pm ....lega beb....
i was actually granted a leave today, as i was supposed to be working on Sunday.
since the leave was granted, aku memang guna sebaik mungkin the leave today and yesss.....it was worth taking the leave as i m really happy today though a bit capek.
huhuhuhuhuhuh...takpa....capek ni tido jap lagi ok la nih esok....
anyway the journey today memang layaaannnnnnnnn beb
the only setback during the journey was, i lost the lens cap of my kit lens......huwaaaaaa....
ya laaa...dok berenti amik gamba, dok bukak tutup bukak tutup lens....terus lupa aku letak mana.....
aku suspect aku bukak lens, aku letak lens cap atas seat moto....amik gambar, then terus letak kamera inside the bagpack, then terus jalan....
sure jatuh kat atas jalan mana2 tu....haduih laaa...
if in case u guys ada jumpak kat mana2 atas jalan especially area bukit gantang nun, kalao jumpa pas balik ya kat aku.....huhuhuhuhu....
takpalah, as long as aku selamat sampai and life aku happy, apa la sgt lens cap tu ye dak...halal je lah....wlaupon aku sedikit frustrated with my carelessness....
