Doraemon expo

Doraemon fans! This might just be FOR YOU!
So at Viva Home, they have doraemon expo until March 2014 if not wrong. So for doraemon lovers, you can pay for ticket to see your amazing doraemon.

The other day my sister brought us to this expo, and i've never heard one before, so i was actually looking forward to it because i was told that you can see a lot of different doraemon in this expo. As usual, i was with my Nikon dslr.

At the entrance of the doraemon expo

Outside doraemon expo with ma bro.

the entrance is really stunning and special as it was two big doraemon-like-eyes. It marked 100th.

Going in, u can see blue, purple, green, pink and all sorts of light colours in the hallway. It was really hard to capture their faces when the light switch because i kept capturing my brother's face in blue, which makes him look a lot like avatar.

Brother with Hwee Mei sis.

Like i said, the colours kept switching, i didn't know which colour suit my face and i just captured my face in purple. Behind me is a doraemon going through time space to somewhere i guess? I'm not much of a doraemon fan, but i do watch it though which i know a little or two.

Me and sister

Going further inside, we see rows and rows and doraemon in the big hall. There's red doraemon, yellow and blue ones. It was really special i think. Each doraemon is doing a different kind of pose.

I was actually trying to make a face like the doraemon behind me.

Rows and rows and doraemon neat and tidy on the platform. 

There's even stuff like this to let you take photo of yourself with the tool the doraemon has, it's really interesting, luckily there were not much crowd, so i didn't have to wait for long until my turn.

There were these fake green grass. But it was really comfortable to stand and sit at. We kinda sit there and just slack for a bit.

This photo was actually showing the guy touching my head, like my father. HAHA

The caption said that this is a Parallela umbrella, when 2 person stand under it, they will fall in love in 5 minutes. So, do i fall in love with my brother? Yeah, i guess you could say that.

The souvenirs shop is really full of stuff. But stuff that u don't necessarily need to buy, it's souvenir after all. They have lots of stuffed toys and calendars and stuff. I got a blind fold. I needed a blind fold because i'm staying with a roommate and there might be some light issues at night, so...

Anyways, we did had lots of fun together capturing photos and memories together as siblings.

Family portrait.

I know this is a late post, it's 1st of January, 2014, but here i am, posting about Christmas. AHHHH. How i missed christmas :(

The other day was my mom's birthday. And so it happened that dad had already set up the christmas tree. So mom decided that we should really get a group photo together. I just feel that time really flies and now we're all grown up. Parents think that they should really get as many group photos with their family as possible so that it can be kept eternity (in my hard disk of course)

Mom received a bouquet of really lovely lilies. It smelt really nice and sweet too. Mom was on cloud nine. It was from sister and i'm sure it cost a lot.

While daddy here is holding sunflower which was second brother's graduation bouquet. You can see the graduation teddy on it. 

The set up was just perfect! With the curtains behind and the christmas tree just add so much to the mood that i wanted. And i was sweaty all over setting up everything which i myself had to go in to take some photos too. Oh well.

I decided that day that i should totally go with something red. Christmas meant red and green. But my family seem to really like the idea of black and white. But my red balanced out their black, so i guess it's okay? :)

Wearing red being the odd one out. But the photo turned out really awesome! I showed dad and he really loved the lighting and the setup and our smiles. :) That's the perfect family photo that i've always dreamt of capturing. The moment.

Daddy with his sons. 

Big brother had to rush for work, so five of us took another group shot, this time with me and third brother wearing our christmas hat. 

So i guess it's the end for christmas post.

Heartsey's photoshoot. (Weird dog alert)

It's the time of the day where we (We as in me and my third brother) decided to let our dog release some energy after a long day at home. I still remember the photos were taken after my spm that day, and i quickly changed into my casual outfit, clinging onto my dslr and went out with my third brother to the nearest field near our house. She was really excited, i was too, ready to capture some images that even i didn't think of capturing.

The weather was great, the sun is being really kind to us and glad that Heartsey get to enjoy to her heart's content. I let her roam around without leash since it's around 2pm, there's no one around for her to chase, worry free, i took out my camera and ready to capture some moments.

This is a totally normal photo of her. She is just starting to get used to the field, all calm before the storm, before she goes berserk. 

Dogs can sniff sooo much better compared to human, i need not to say, of course dogs can smell better, they can smell which dog were there, pee and all the scent that they pick up. It's weird how they can smell a patch of grass for 5 minutes without getting tired. 

Here she is, possessed by the spirit of berserk dogs. Mentality ill, she ran around in high speed, circles and not stopping, her eyes were in full red. You know full moon, like when human turning into a wolf. 

I was shocked when i saw this picture. Honestly, when i pressed the shutter, i did not know what i was getting, i did not check it too, i totally amazed myself when i saw this photo. Heartsey, all ready to charge in front in high speed. 

This photo right here, she looked like a bull who saw the red cloth. Agree or agree? 

And when she finally calmed down, she started to stare into space until we pretend to chase her and she started running like mad cow again. 

i find her chewing grass more and more nowadays. 

So the grass was really warm that day, like i said around 2pm, and the grass was obviously too soft and comfortable to resist. Not knowing the term "DIRTY" she lay flat on the floor and started rolling and scrubbing her body full power against the grass. We tried to stop her of course, i mean, she bathed and smelt really nice and now she's trying to make it all go away?! 

We ran towards her and of course, dogs ran faster, they have 4 legs, so she ran to another spot, sniffed and started her rolling job again. And so we kept chasing her around the field. It was awesome experience. But tired. 

There are more photos below, i'll let you guys caption it.

 By the end of the day, this will be what you'll get.

My Macbook Air.

Okay, i've been waiting for this moment for so long! Finally my macbook arrived. Previously, i said that i wanted a pro, but then after some serious thinking and considerations, i've chosen the air. The difference between the two were always discussed by many and people couldn't make up their mind. But then after many web surfing and observations, i've chosen the MBAir. Why? Because it's lighter and way cheaper. Don't make me go into how expensive apple products are, but at the end of the day, you love what you get.

And i've gotta thank my parents and especially my dad for supporting me in getting this computer (and my mom who talked him to buy me one, thanks mom, i love you). I can now properly stream videos using a laptop (Which i've not for several years now) and finally using Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop without any lags, the screen is just absolutely stunning. I've got to thank my senior, Wang Zhang for giving me advice and telling me his personal experience of which is better and which is not. All in all, i'm a happy kid and i can't have enough of the MBAir. It's just stunning.

I almost went breathless when the package arrived. It's finally here after a long wait. And it's in front of my eye, not image, but real! Luckily my parents were not there to see my funny expression. 

I've been using it a lot for a day, downloading programs and applications. The wifi works great, though there's no ethernet port and VGA port, but it's okay. I could live with that, If you want the thinness and portability, sometimes there's things that you have to sacrifice. That's just how things work. 

The computer also has this super large trackpad, which was the mouse pad as everyone know, it's just great. Big, large, and you can do multi gestures on it. Like scroll with two fingers, change tabs with three fingers, open launch pad with four fingers (apps) and five fingers just clears away all the windows on the desktop, and then it seems so tidy. Of course i haven't figured out many stuff yet, but i will soon. There's no need for mouse anymore. Like how cool is that? You can also pinch to zoom and rotate with it. Bye bye mouse clicking! I've always had trouble rotating photos with mouse that my arms hurt.

There's some short cuts that i've to give up since using apple which is i always use backspace to go back to the previous page, but now you can't do that. And i've still not figured out what shortcut that uses, but well.

The ports on the right hand side of the macbook. 

Heartsey is actually crying because i was ignoring her over my new toy. She doesn't get it why her mom is so excited, she didn't know. She just doesn't. 

And when i put my macbook against my old acer laptop, there's just too much to say. Backlit keyboard!! HOW COOL IS THAT!?
The laptop was originally my brother's. But then he bought a new laptop, so i'm stucked with his. You can see the keys, how they turned yellow and blackish. And the heatness, it's just crazy heat!
For MBAir, you can feel the heat coming up from the top left corners, but other than that, other places are cool to the touch. i feel really great. No more burning sensation. 

There's this thing about my old laptop, it's the BLUE screen you see above. It's CRAZY. It shows up once in a while and i had to press the computer hard and sometimes smack it several times to make it disappear. 

My macbook with my ipod touch. Apple is really great at designing computers, they have really stunning designs. I don't just see appearance though, the performance is great too. Period. 

Beautiful or what? How can you resist. And the keyboard i'm typing with now is just pure awesomeness. It doesn't feel loose or squeaky like my previous laptop. AHHHH, i'm just so happy now. 

Okay, i haven't been updating because i've been waiting for my macbook to arrive to update it and now i've done it. Let me arrange my photos and i'll get back to you guys about heartsey's photoshoot and a few photos that i've gathered after spm. Soon, very soon. :)

*Trademarked*

Early November thoughts and updates.

             

                 So today i thought of writing some posts. I know it's SPM month, but i wouldn't just sit still and study all day. I'm feeling itchy and guilty for not updating my blog when i really wanted to. So my first update's gonna be about my SPM.


Basically i gotta shout it out loud that IT'S FINALLY HERE!
Well of course i'll be even happier when it's finally over, but this is WAY much better than waiting for a long period of time and counting the how-many-days-left-until-spm. That just sucks! I hate it, i absolutely hated it. Every time when i'm in a middle of doing something that is lifting my mood up, my friends would just approach me and say "Hey, do you know that SPM is only XX days left?" At first it was XXX, then it became XX and then X and then finally no more X.

After BM paper

                While i am writing this, (Note: Malay and English and sejarah is over) Yes. I wouldn't say i ACED it, i also wouldn't say i RUINED it. I would say ....border line. But i'm glad that this year i'm having my SPM in a classroom. See, there's always this thing about HALLS. You know, it's SO wide and BIG. And this year the halls are full of geniuses who aced FULL As in their exam. And i would feel pressurized if i were sitting in the same class as they are. I'm glad i got a classroom beside the hall which consist of all the classmates from my class this year. At least i have my best friends behind and beside me. Everywhere. It's always comfy to see close friends beside you on your nervous day.

             
                   My mom said that this year's spm is terrible because of the 2 SPMers that passed away after and during BM paper. One during the test and one in the hospital. Both Malay girls. And it's truly sad to hear that. I mean, they still have a wide and journey-ful future. And yet now they're gone. One is even a possible straight A scorer. It makes the others feel really regretful about it.

Testing out brother's graduation hat.
Graduate-wannabe

So my second brother has finally graduated!! SCREAM AND SHOUT AND LET IT ALL OUT.
I don't know why i'm so happy. We're all growing up so fast!! I bet my parents still prefer us as babies / kids. :)

So mom decided that we should go to the studio to shoot some photos. And so we did. And mom was like, come ning, let me put on some makeup on yo face and i was like.  O_O

I think it was pretty good. HAHA, i told her i want it to be as LIGHT as possible. BETTER NOT PUT LAH.

Yeah............................ about the photographer. HE has lots to change about our posing, how we smile, how we put our hands. Yeah.... too many rules.

Brother's graduation photoshoot day.

Smart. Later they suited up. :)

Have i told you that i'm going to further my studies at UTAR? Yeap, and it's gonna be at January intake! T_T mad sad. And my mom said if i get 7As in my spm i'll get a macbook pro. If i don't i'll have to use my money. OMAIGAWD, i wanna bring macbook pro to UTAR!!! :D

I hope my dad let la. There's lots of functions and also it doesn't heat up badly like my current laptop do. I think it suits its price. The quality and heavy duty laptop that i need for editing photos and videos, writing my upcoming book (HEHEHEHE) and also other university tasks. I know, i have so much to do after SPM! AHHHHHHH. I hope time pass quickly. :D



kthxbai. Continue my sejarah paper 3, tomorrow 3 hours. SIEN!

Dad's birthday celebration.

It's my dad's birthday.
And my sister got us a durian cake. With a price of course. And it wasn't cheap. It was hand made cake by her aunt by real durian. It was awesome. So awesome i got sick and had sore throat the other day. But eventually it cured. It wasn't anybody's fault. I just didn't drank enough water. And i had reading for mass the other day. Glad it doesn't affect much. I tried my best to maintain and steady and sweet voice. :)

Back to the cake. Oops, i mean birthday. Dad didn't know. He was at the back of the table minding his own business when we all did body language and hand signals and it seemed like all our faces are having stroke or any facial diseases. It was terrible. We off the fan and dad sensed something amiss. And so he turned around and ask "Why?" Then he noticed a cake on the table and asked "Whose?"

Aw, my dad is so cute!

Some really awesome fruit toppings for the Durian cake are blueberries! Blackberry! Strawberry! apricot! They're just amahzing! 

Here's daddy, smiling happy in front of the camera. I don't know man, i just took it and he was all smiling to the camera. Or maybe it's just candid. 

Dad and mom were reallllllllly sweet i can have diabetes from it :D

So that afternoon, granny was awkwardly walking around the house flipping newspapers and looking around. She wasn't usually like this. And then while flipping the pages, she suddenly said "Ah Ning, you got ang pao packet ma? Can you give me one?" So i was like, yeah okay. It seemed like a big deal. So i didn't want to disappoint her. I knew she was giving it to one of my parents, but i don't know, so i head up and got a packet for her. She thanked me over and over again and then went on continuing with her work.

That night..

I LOVE YOU AH MA.
