freedom!

dont you just feel like leaving your current life to head to a paradise beach and just bum around without a care in the world?

well it would be great fun it that could happen. hmmm... when can i go for my next holiday...

its been a while

yes it definetly has. when was the last time i made a post? 1 month ago? heck its ages ago.

well things are getting bussier everyday. or maybe its just becuase i seem to find everything to do but sit in front of the computer to type out a blog entry. i mean there is so much to see outside of the computer screen!

recently i learn't how to snakeboard. what is a snake board you ask? well its simillar to a skate board, but the wheels can turn.

yes thats a snake board. how does it move? well it works like the same principle as how snakes moves. in a 'S' shape fashion. takes some time to master, but its fun. i now use this to go to work, instead of using a car. much more environmentaly friendly :D

besides the snakeboard, i also recently accuired something new.

yes, i got myself a freggin slackline!! yeah!! now i dont need to wait for every wed, fri, or sundays to slackline in camp5. i can do it in any park that has trees! so if you guys wanna try out this ever so cool sport, do let me know. ill come over and set it up if i have the time. for more information on how slacklining goes, go to youtube and search up slackline.

so anyway, enough of random pictures taken off the net. its time to post up some photos that ive developed.

these are a few photos which i have no idea if i have posted it up before, but anyway, its of a local band, seven collar t-shirt. taken in laundry.

ok, i think thats it for now. lets hope that my next post would be much much sooner.

just a picture

this is just a picture.

took this quite a while ago.



besides the picture, im heading off to summit climbing gym for the roxx competition. its going to be the last day the gym will be open and after today they will be closing down... sigh... now we have only one gym to go to in kl...

shit...

one of the shitiest thing that can ever happen to a photographer just happened to me.

no, i didnt drop my camera onto a busy highway which caused it to be run over by 3 cars, 1 van and a HUGE ass lorry, which would eventually turn the camera into a useless piece of scrap.

this is something way worst than that!!!


i lost ALL the pictures from my phuket trip!!!

NOOOOOOooooooooOOOOOooooOOOOOoooOO!!!!

there were still so many pictures which i havent looked through yet. damn. i think i lost it when i was reformating my computer. must have forgotten to back it up. anyone have an idea of how to back up massive amounts of pictures without burning it onto a CD everytime?

please leave a comment if you do. cause i dont think i can take loosing another set of pictures again.

kuching!

this is just something to fill in the time. decided to go through some of my pictures from kuching. so here are some photos of the rainfirest world music festival 2008 and other pictures from running around kuching.

there are 2 batches of pics. one from the first half of my trip when my sister was there and the other half when she left. these pics are those of the second half which also contains the rainforest world music festival pics. the first half are yet to be uploaded.


firstly the one and only group picture in this post.


from left to right. me, ayu, denise, cletus, sid and lorraine.

i mostly hung out with ayu, cletus and lorraine during the rainforest event.

this one is a picture of the kuching waterfront. it was supposed to be a panorama shot, but i was too lazy to stitch it together. stay tuned for the full panorama picture.


this next picture is taken on the beach of damai puri resort. this is the resort which i "sort of" stayed at during the rainforest event.


here is a random shot i took. on the right side would be some rocks which would lead down to the beach. i had to crop it out as when i took the picture the horizon wasn't straight, and it looked awefull.


so from here on the pictures are from the rainforest world music festival 2008.


this is the main stage where most of the better music comes from during the night.


as you can see, the grass is all nice and green. little would you know that on that exact same night, it would eventually become a mud hole.

this is a photo of a dude making a sape. i think that the white partition board on the left of the picture really ruined the shot. dammit....


this is the view from the same house i took the picture of the man making the sape. what a great view.


and this here is the picture of the house i was on when i took the photo of the man making the sape which i afterwards took the photo of the great view. i know, i'm trying to confuse you on purpose.


this is of a totem pole. carved out of a tree and it was about 7 meters high. sadly it was plagued with a few nails popping out from its side. had to photoshop it out. can you spot the changes?

quite hard i think...


this band is one of the coolest bands in the whole festival. each member can play about 3 instruments. coolest stuff and most fun music.


more pictures of the band. i think its called bezentine or something like that.


i quite like this one. i even cought the broken hair of the bow.

yet again, another editing mistake. the colours of the picture doesnt seem that nice. i forgot to bump up the colours after changing the white balance. was kinda in a hurry when i was editing them.

this band was kinda cool. their first song went "SMOKE WEED EVERY DAY!"


this is one of a sape player.

yeah man!! electric sape!!! behold how modern technology has effected traditional instruments. then again, isn't all instruments so called traditional to a certian culture?

oh well...

anyway, if you would like to see a bigger version of the photo, just click on them. more should be yet to come.

last week end i went down to singapore. why? well its cause my dear sister was heading over to the land of the roos. what is a roo? its a kangaroo.

so looks like its me the oldest kido in the house now. sigh....

more on kuching when i have the time.

2 articles

well im back from kuching. i had a really great time there. met alot of new people and ate all sorts of food!

anyway more on that in a later post.

i stumbled upon one of the articles in the star which had my photos in it. it was one of camp5's outdoor days and i took some pictures. click here to read it.

the article was writen by one of the members in the gym and the photos are taken by me.

next is another article that i found on the latest climbing gym in malaysia! well it isn't really a climbing gym, but more of a competition wall. it is called the challenge park, which is located in putra jaya. this climbing wall boasts the largest competition wall in the world, if im not mistaken. there will also be a mountain bike track and skate park. click here to read the article on routesetter.com.

haven't visited the gym yet, but i would love to check it out some time soon. when i do, i'll post the pictures of the place.

over and out.

rainforest!!

well the time for the rainforest world music festival 2008 is almost at hand!

tomorrow ill be heading down to the cultural village which is in damai for the event. whats cool is that there are actually a few people that i know from KL thats attending the event.

so enough about the damn concert. bet you are wondering about kuching.

been in kuching for a little more then a week now, and how is it you ask? well its actually not bad. its great to be away from the hustle and bustle of the freggin city. it only takes 10 minutes to get anywhere! im not kidding. no traffic jams, no serious noise polution, and also no light polution. that means that you can actually see the stars when you are in the middle of the city!

how cool is that?!

more of the trip when i get home.

noel out...
