M.O.S.H

Nak poyo sikit boleh tak? Hehehehe...

http://www.reverbnation.com/mosh


As i was browsing through my old albums, I stumbled upon an album of my band, playing in the jamming studio back in 1995.

It was way formed 14 years ago, back in the end of 1994, after I finished my SPM exams. I was 17, who only knows how to play Acoustic Guitar, together with my brother, Ikhwan, who knows nothing, we went jamming. I only know some Metallica & G`n`R songs, plus some from Wings.

I do think we sound stupid, Ikhwan played the drums without knowing how to synchronize himself, but he improves from time to time. That picture was among those pictures we took back in 1995, Ikhwan in action. We managed to get the idea how to play the drums when we just came back from Umrah, back in 1995. Hahaha.. ada ke macam tu... but it's true!

We teamed up with a lot of people, to get ourselves a good bass player, until one day, my brother has just came back from 'Khemah Ibadat' and introduced me someone he met there.. Kimi... and he became our bass player for years, until today. Bayangkan pegi khemah ibadat, orang nak suruh beribadat, ini tak, pegi carik bass player... Hahaha.. Ikhwan ikhwan...

After 14 years, my brother Izzat has also grown up and in 2 years, i inherited him all that I have learnt in 15 years and he's a better guitar player than myself. Salute. He's now one of our band members since he plays better than myself. Saya tunggu masa aje untuk ditendang keluar.. hahaha.. :p

We still keep on playing the same songs, Metallicas and G`n`Rs. I do compose my own song but we've got no time to sit together to practice, as Ikhwan in Penang, Kimi in Serembn, myself in JB and Izzat in Russia.

Not to mention the latest addition to the band who is Hafiizh, my cousin who will be on the vocals, who is living in Melaka.

One band lives apart huh?

I have uploaded some songs, you know, just for the sake of having something to remember, am getting older, and being able to play music was one of my dream when I was small, all was self taught, self initiation and I'm really proud of it.

I dedicated a profile for my band at http://www.reverbnation.com/mosh. I'm adding more songs into it. I regret that I lost one of our demo, the only demo tape that we used to have. Last time, there's no technology like we have nowadays and analogous tape was prone to damage and loss.

Long live M.O.S.H.. hehehe (poyo)

Malaysia Today dot com

Allow me to write in MULTI language. Just feel like doing it today :p

1. Driving Nissan Frontier di KL sekarang memerlukan RM50 untuk 20 liter diesel sehari, sebab
a. Selalu hujan,
b. Road blocks banyak.
2. Kasihan ama polisi2 yang bikin blokir itu, nggak kira siang atau malam, hujan atau panas, setia berdiri di sisi kon2 warna jingga ditemani flash light warna biru, walaupun hanya posing di situ menandakan kewujudan mereka di situ.

3. The govt has lower the fuel price but still takut dengan bayang2 sendiri. Their fear towards DSAI is unspeakable, even the govt no 1's SIL is suspected to be having the meeting with DSAI in singapore.

4. Oleh sobab yang domikian, jalan2 kek KL maso2 macam ni agak membuang maso sobab eh tak nampak awek2 yang selalu keluar, antagho punco2 eh
a. Awek2 pun mampuih nak bayar petrol (ado ko awek bawak kenderaan diesel?).
b. Awek yang nak keluar naik bas pun naik maleh sobab bas2 skrg ni ghamai bonar yang menaik eh.
c. Awek2 yang keluar naik motor pun takut yo sobab orang naik motor pun luar biaso ramai eh.
d. Awek2 dah maleh nak shopping sobab nanti takdo duit nak bayar petrol.
e. Awek yang selalu eh pau pakwo eh nak keluar dating pun x keluar sobab balak eh pun bengkrap.
f. Awek2 yang takdo lesen memandu takut nak keluar sebab road block banyak gilo... kan?
g. Awek2 yang mentedaghah lombu pun tak boleh mentedaghah lombu sobab eh harga daging lombu dah maha... sobab MAHA baghu yo habih..
h. Awek2 ni kek mano sekolah eh den pun tak tau lahhh. Nak tengok budak sekolah pun susah sobab eh budak-budak sekarang ni pun dah jaghang lepak McD, omak apak eh dah tak bagi duik lobih. Kalau tak kek McD lopeh sekolah ponoh dongan budak2 sekolah. Sekarang ni toksah haghap la.. Kalau ado pun yang tak cun.

Getting annoyed...

I'm very annoyed when someone asked me to call him/her back if they have something to talk to me; and even when I heard someone else doing it also, I would be getting very annoyed.

Being a homer, I seldom went out to town and seldom see other people too. So I would always end up got nothing to say in this blog. When I go out, I would either do my job, see partners, go back to kampung or jalan-jalan; of which rather as boring as it repeats by itself over and over again. Yeah, that's what I do my entire life.

Today, I intend to go out for some missions;
1. to claim the fuel subsidy for my car
2. to get a bus ticket to go back to seremban
3. to submit photos for printing
4. to get a new bag for my camera

and lastly to get some munchies to help me ease myself while doing my work at home.

Things went well for mission 1 and amazingly there are still tickets for my mission 2 while people were still busy talking about how the 'ulat tiket' manipulated the ticket price. I managed to settle mission 3 but mission 4 as there's no bag that I wanted so much.

So, I went to the supermarket to grab things I wanted, but you know, men would never fail to be amazed by some hot ladies while shopping.

And this time, it's a mom with 2 kids!

In my amazeness, I keep on walking 2-3 times in front of her as I can't believe it that she looks so young! She's so pretty that I think there's no men wouldn't take a second turn to look at her. So it wasn't me alone.

Not wasting my time, even though there's a hot someone around, I need to rush back home as I'm also buying an ice-cream. I was looking for an express cashier but it was unavailable, then when I was about to reach the cashier queue, I saw that pretty lady with her 2 kids again, mesmerized by her, I just walk to any cashier queue without looking.

I was waken up from my mesmerization when a trolley hit me from behind and as I took a look at the person behind me, I just realized that I was in the wrong lane. Wrong in the sense that;

there are two customers in front of me, one lady with a full load trolley and behind her was an uncle with 2 full load trolley. OMG. Really..

I was looking around for a shorter queue but it seems like my queue was the shortest queue. There's no other queue to go so I decided to stick with it.

I'm beginning to get annoyed when the lady with that one full load trolley started to call her friend; asking the friend to call her back. I guess the friend asked her why when she said, 'because i need you to come over here as I didn't bring enough cash to pay the groceries'.

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG.

Luckily the friend she called turned up quite soon. The wait started as the uncle got his turn. He bought so many things, at least 3 units for each item. And he complains for everything that he doesn't like. Complain this, complain that, in a very annoying way. I waited, I waited, I waited, I waited ...................................

.
.
.

Yeah, 15 mins already gone. The other queues are getting so much longer than I can't imagine. I was started to think that it might be a wrong day for a small purchaser like me to go shopping!

When I was about to reach my turn, I took a look at the cashier's display. The uncle is gonna pay for an amount of RM1877.45. Must be a singaporean buying a stock for a month!

As I was about to pay my groceries, I asked..

"Dekat setengah jam saya beratur, boleh tukarkan ais krim saya tak? Cair dah pun"

The faggot cashier answered, "Dah bayar tak boleh tukar bhang... "

Geli aku..

Marvel on Earth

I stopped breathing when I saw the place!
The water is so crystal clear that you can see almost EVERYthing at the bottom. Luckily I arrived when no one is yet there.

One of the hut being provided for the visitors, for rental about 25k.... in IDR (Indonesian Rupiah).

Too bad I didn't bring my swimsuit.

The velvia effect was obtained using vivid setting on my D300 body and of course my favourite polarizer filter.

Well said, this is one of the hidden marvel on earth

God's Marvel - Another yet known heaven on earth

I stopped breathing when I saw the place! Serioussssssssssssssssssssssssssshit!

Uplifting Wedding Photography

Natural light photography is something that everyone must master in order to become a good photographer but as the time went by, most photographers would love to be able to play and control with lights.

I would love to produce such a high quality picture through out all of my photography works and it was an honour when they say, "Gambar macam magazinelah!!!"

Something that is rarely being done, I've experimented Nikon CLS application with outdoor wedding photography. We would normally see people play with 1 or 2 light sources but I used 3 to 4 this time, and it's done outdoor!

That's the clear advantage of flash photography over studio lighting, where it's much cheaper, more versatile and mobile.

Credit to Ayu Surya for allowing me to post her wedding pictures into my blogs, website and forums.

p/s :: The oil price is definitely going down. I bet it will get as low as below USD80 per barrel.

Nikon Event at the Ikano Power Center.

A week after the D700 review, I came up to KL back again, this time for a Nikonian class and an event at the Ikano.

I myself had to give a talk on How to take sharp photos. Admitting that the first time was pretty not easy for me but I was actually having a lot fun doing it, especially when people rushing over me to shoot me with questions just after the talk was over. Together giving talk with me is Joe Loon, another Nikonian Trainer, who has been so kewl on stage. (picture is by courtesy of Sean Liew from Nikonian Academy)

Remember this photo? It can be viewed in my photo gallery at my website. It has been chosen by Nikonian director to be printed out for the exhibition at the Ikano. Kewl eh?

Andrew & Sean. (I hope they don't mind I'm posting this.

The same event would be held in the next weekend at the same place, Ikano. If you have free time, why not give me a visit then?

The best thing was my family was also around. I went to see them for a while at the IKEA and spent a lil time my nephew AFI. I learnt one thing about this lil boy now. He's so into GADGETS! I cannot tell how excited he was after seeing my DSLR and wants to get hold of it. Maybe you should get to be like your uncle one day uh? Hehehehe.
