An informative Sunday with Mr. Bazuki Muhammad
|
|
Well..another FMDC’s activity attended by a group of us over the weekend..great and fun day indeed especially when a big name viz En.Bazuki Muhammad http://www.bazuki.com/me/index.html was there too to share his experiences and knowledge. (too bad Mr. Zainal dropped by and dissappeared...)
We, my daughter and I must thank FMDC the organizer, for another terrific photo shoot session. We learned a lot and really anjoyed it. Mr. Bazuki enthusiasm for and interest in sharing his experiences and knowledge were the catalysts for a most enjoyable and informative photo shoot. He has the patience, understanding and the ability to relay his thoughts in a such a way that everyone can understand. And the most precious knowledge that he shared was on how to capture the “Tun Mahathir like” image…  wow.. another photography technique to be bragged about with friends and families 
*I take this opportunity to extend our gratitude to Mr. Bazuki for sharing his experiences and knowledge, may he and his family be blessed always, Aamiin.

This morning my staff and I visited a company founded in 1885, located in the city. The company which has a workforce of more than 600 skilled craftsmen, has over 20 branches worldwide. We're fortunate to have met Datin Chew, the third generation of Yong's family who is also the company's member of the Board of Directors. A pleasant and warm lady indeed.
We take this opportuniy to extend our gratitude to Mr.Alex and Ms. Winnie, who had guided us through the short visit and made the short informative visit memorable.

A nite to remember
|
 |
|
the only image after all the troubled nite...
|
|

Yesterday late afternoon, hubby called me up in the office, inviting me to follow him to the fishing pond in Tanjung Sepat for midnite fishing. Since it'e been sometimes I last followed him fishing, I quickly filled up the eportal leave application for a half day leave. Around ten something after dinner, we left behind our children with their granny and maid at home and headed for Tanjung Sepat Ocean Fishing Pond. We arrived safely around ten minutes passed twelve. Hubby unloaded all his fishing equipments and we entered the salt-water fishing pond once the deposit paid. As usual hubby quickly set his fishing lines with life prawn as it's bait and while he's busy doing it, my eyes already half closed and ignoring other anglers around I layed on a hard board on a wooden bench. It's really very cold night, I hugged my 20d that I've brought along and when the nite was getting colder I zipped up the jacket that I wore together with the 20d inside When I woke up in the morning, I saw hubby smiling at me, he said I was sound asleep and didn't want to disturb (normally he'll ask me to sleep inside the pickup)... I was like a homeless people, well it's a nite to remember as I never done such a crazy act before..  and the best part, after all the trouble hugging the 20d all nite long...I only managed to capture this image at Sg Pelek where we had toothsome breakfast this morning

Another short vacation over the weekend. Actually we attended a wedding in Seri Pandan in JB but took the opportunity to have another short vacation in JB, a place we last visited ages ago... The recommended hotel viz the New York Hotel was good, we stayed in a deluxe room (quite large) with panoramic views of JB and S'pore. The hotel is conveniently located at the city centre. We enjoyed the 24 hrs banafe'e cafe sort of...just opposite/accross the hotel. The next day (yesterday), after breakfast we quickly checked out of the hotel and went to KOMTAR and City Centre. There after we looked up for the so-called Danga Bay, it was known as Lido ages ago and we wondered where were all those infamous stalls relocated to.... After Danga Bay we headed KL via the alternative routes with few stops along the way. The final few stops were Umbai/Pernu and Mahkota Parade Malacca, where we had dinner and last minutes shoppings respectively. We safely arrived home almost one am...

Last weekend, we left our house for PD around eleven something.We had our lunch at HJ.Masrom in PD before we proceeded to Water City Resort in Malacca. We arrived water city around three something and had to wait for almost 30 minutes for the two-beded apt ready. By then our mood had gone down drastically. Once we checked in the apt, we didn't do any productive activities except resting. Just before dinner at the coffee house, we walked around the resort area which boasted it's water city..well, frankly speaking, nothing much to explore. After the buffet dinner hubby and son were already tucked their buts on the lobby's lounge watching the football game. Adeeba and I tried to admire the pool area..it's quiet and we're really bored to death and decided to go up inside the room. We planned to watch the tv but ended up snoring.  The next day after the buffet breakfast the children and hubby went go carting, I tried to pan them but was too lazy to change the lens...Hadee later wanted to do his usual morning exercise in the gym but too bad he had left his sports shoes at home. I took few shots in the gym and later accompanied Adeeba to the swimming pool . By then Hadee already went cycling around the resort.Hubby who dissapeared somewhere later joined me under the umbrella and helped me to reposition the umbrella as the sun moves across the sky. I was waiting to capture people in and around the pool but the mood just wasn't there It's almost noon, we packed and get ready to check out. We had enough of resort buffet meals and had wanted to give away our lunch coupons to other people but couldn't find one..really wasted..it's worth more than hundred RM.  Hubby had asked me on where our next destination should be..and I suggested him to head for Muar. We went to Muar with no specific intension. The sceneries via Merlimau,Jasin all the way to Muar were really beautiful...we arrived Muar around two something and had our lunch at Asam Pedas JJ...the lunch was really cheap and good....We sautered along Muar town and closeby areas before we headed back to KL.....

Salma Munawwaroh Imaani Bte. Salman
|

Salma Munawwaroh Imaani Salman, born on 27 March 2006 at 1.27 pm, went on her first long road trip last Saturday, 18th of May when she followed her parents to Kuala Lumpur all the way from Kuala Trengganu. Like “Tok Ma aka grandmothers” everywhere, I was excited and happy to be able to see her for the first time eversince she’s born 53 days ago. She’s chubby and sweet just likes Su, her mom. I live far from where Salma and her parents lived, I’d miss watching her grow and learn but hopefully to be able to keep abreast with her development if her dad aka ayah updates his fp at http://s3photomedia.fotopages.com/ regularly. Fp is indeed a wonderful way to stay in touch each day .

My daughter and I had just completed the above class. The resource person was none other than Mr. Zainal Abd Halim, a fulltime Reuters's staff photographer. The following text is an excerpt from http://www.zainalabdhalim.com/about.html
"Zainal has never undergone any formal degree course in photography. He started in photography just as a hobby and the hobby steadily turned into a passion – or maybe even obsession.
It was the passion that propelled him to succeed when he started as a press photographer at The Sun since its inception. He moved up the career ladder at The Sun very quickly, and from a photographer, he was promoted to take care of sport desk, after which he was appointed deputy chief photographer.
His last post at The Sun was chief photographer, the position he attained in less than six years. While at The Sun, his excellent work got noticed by Reuters - which eventually offered him a job as its full time staff photographer in 1998 - the wire news agency that he has been working for ever since."
My daughter and I wish to take this opportunity to extend our gratitude to Mr. Zainal . Mr. Zainal did a very admirable job. He explained things well and anwers questions and gave good examples. It is one of the few times that we felt our time spent on the class were well spent, it's really interesting, interactive, worthy and importantly very informative.
What did I missed?
