Norwegian Exposure

So many photos to process....

And when the photos are done, which ones do I put up?

I'm Too Old For This...

It has been a pretty frustrating week...

I just took some time off to relax by keeping the computer turned off and then getting my hands to do some work.

What is the result of my hard "work" and fingers burning with pain due to the size of these blocks?

You'll have to wait for a while to find out more. :D

Yeah... Yeah.. Some folks may say that playing with such toys doesn't suit an old fart like me but hey, they made some of these toys for adults!

Ascending

Let's be positive...

Looking at a staircase, we ascend to reach greater heights...

A Photographer's Hard Lesson

Did something extremely silly a couple of nights ago.... I ACCIDENTALLY DELETED SOME PHOTOS WHICH I DIDN'T TRANSFER OUT FROM MY SD CARD!!!!

*Sigh*.... I had meant to back up my photos after each session but I put it off.

Call it procrastination and this is certainly a very hard lesson to swallow.

Some of those lovely photos of Oslo will never come back - especially when I took a picture of a parade of Norwegians dressed up in 16th century gear commemorating the founding of the city by a Danish prince....

*sigh*...

I had been lazy. So, this is the punishment I got. Time to be a better organized photographer/traveler.

Clearer Now... I Hope

It's been a week since we've started the knowledge transfer activities here in Oslo.

It's starting to get clearer now.... and we're getting into focus...

We've got a looooong journey ahead and it would prove to be quite interesting. As the old saying goes, "it's not the destination but the journey towards the destination..."

Way Up North...

Ok... I'm still a wee bit bleary and tired after traveling on planes for 24 hours.

Two transit flights later, I've landed safely at the Land of the Midnight Sun.

Disappointed

I'm feeling a wee bit disappointed today.

I had expected to enjoy a pretty nice afternoon at 1Utama but things didn't turn out as I had planned...

Another Week Has Zoomed By

Rusty zoooming at the speed of light... 1/400 of a second that is..

Wow... Time certainly has zoomed right by us!

I can't believe that it's now the middle of April.

Wonder if there would be good news at the end of April.... Hmmm..

Have a great weekend folks!

It's Going To Be Alright!

My hiatus from this blog was mainly due to work. That's not a big surprise actually.

Not that I hate my work, I actually enjoyed it a lot.

Weekend Brunch @ The Bee, Jaya One

I've yet to blog about what has been going on lately, which I will work on next...

I had missed this year's Putrajaya Balloon Festival due to an upset stomach. So, after a few hours of sleep, I got up feeling pretty hungry.

EV suggested that we have brunch at this place she read about...

I Missed an Entire Month!!

Yes.. I didn't blog for an entire month.

A whole stash of photos from February to March are still waiting for me to process...

I was a little lazy but also was caught up with some stuff at work which for some reason now, doesn't really need my attention anymore. So, will have to realign my priorities. One of it is to get back to taking care of me and spending more time with my camera. ;-)

Another is to think about getting all my certifications done.

Anyway, will share more in the coming posts. One of it was the major disappointment I encountered on last Friday which had me going for some minor retail therapy over the weekend...

Have a Great Weekend...

Hope that everyone will have a relaxing weekend. It has been pretty hectic with the CNY holidays...

For me, things were pretty crazy just before the CNY break due to some software platform release my team was involved in. We're relieved that it's now done but now, the old cycle of innovate, improve, fix and deliver a working software platform is back.

We or at least, I should learn from both Rusty and Snoopy... They always take time out for an afternoon "siesta". They only bark when necessary and only exert energy when it's really needed (like chasing squirrels or birds).

Why don't I ever learn.....

年初一 Cuisine (CNY 1st Day)

GONG XI FA CAI!!!

It's finally the Year of the Rabbit. After the previous night's indulgence, we usually have something lighter on the 1st day of the Chinese New Year.

Happy Year of the Rabbit!!!

Wishing everyone a fantastic Year of the Rabbit!!

May it be a year of hopping joy, abundance, good health & luck for you and your family!

恭喜发财！

Called Home To The Lord - We Will Miss You Ian Tan

It was so sudden, so shocking. We hoped that it was someone else...

In Anticipation... Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year!!! Hope that 2011 will be a fantastic one for you all...

I've been a bit busy with work to pay any attention to blogging. I have tonnes of photos to edit too but haven't had time to work on it.

Wishing everyone a great year ahead....

Merry Christmas!!!

The Christmas tree is up and decorated.

The dogs are ready to party too...

Wishing you and your family a very Merry Blessed Christmas & Happy New Year!!!!

Twelve Days to Christmas...

Wow... It has been a busy December.

The Christmas decorations are up and I've been going around to take some photos...

Here is my favourite one so far.

Twelve days to go... Have you done your Christmas shopping?

Don't Skimp On That Filter

This certainly was a relief...

Never underestimate the significance of getting a UV filter for your lens.. I was glad that this protected my lens.

How did this happen? My "free" Canon bag strap broke earlier and it fell on the ground. The impact caused the crack.

Anyway, planning to get a Hoya UV filter to replace this.

All I can say is *PHEW*!!!

Shadows

I've been quite lazy to blog lately.

Looking at these photos isn't going to help either...
