A Victim in Photography World
I hereby confirm that I’m a victim of the said world. Let’s face it. The moment you purchased your first DSLR camera (a.k.a. Digital Single Lens Reflex), you are bound to ‘invest’ more and more in photography. Lenses, battery grip, flashgun, more lenses, flash diffuser, tripods and bags. Did I mention lenses? These are the so-called additional necessities, which you might need it in a way or another near future.
Take for example, camera lenses. There are wide range of lenses such as telephoto, zoom, prime and wide angle lenses. These said lenses function differently from one another. One would not stick to their kit lens forever neither would they be satisfied with what they have in a long run. Photography enthusiast will purchase a better lens in order to satisfy their ‘cravings’ for better picture quality. Moreover, do take notice that lens manufacturers produce normal lenses as well as high quality lenses. Canon have L lenses as their premier lenses while Nikon have FX lenses.
Besides, there is another reason why the victim spends so much in photography. They refer to this reason as ‘poison’. I know it sounds a little weird but that’s the fact. It is hard to resist temptations once a evil friend of yours recommends something better to you.
There is no turning back as you could only go forward. There’s no such thing as splurging your cash on DSLR only once because that’s the myth. You will continue to pay more and more to get more and more accessories. It’s true, it’s true.
‘I’ve no money to eat for the next 3 months‘ , ‘I’m saving up for something‘ , ‘Do you think money grows on a tree behind my backyard?‘. Do these sentences ring a bell? Yes, you got it right. Not only that you have to use up all your saving just for one particular thing, you will have to use those common sentences like any other photographers. I’ve to admit that I do use them most of the time once in awhile.
So, here’s a warning. To those who have yet to get their DSLR, please do take into consideration that you will end up spending more than what you had initially allocated your funds for.
By now, I guess you know what are my latest acquisitions. :P

Golf Session
Over the weekend, me and my mates went for a golf session at a driving range in Sri Petaling. It was my first time holding a golf club and it was also my first time whacking the golf ball using the club.
Being a newbie, I was fooling around more than concentrating on how to hit the ball. After all, my main purpose of joining them was to take some photos of them playing.
Hands straight. Don’t hunch. Bent your knees. Look at the ball. These are few important steps while positioning yourself. I’ve got to say that it ain’t easy to hit the ball. Out of 20 tries, probably 2 tries were successful hits. When I say successful, it means getting the ball to fly (my layman term). The remaining tries would be either whacking the air or managed to get the ball to literally roll to the greens. Yes, it rolled instead of up in the air. And most of the time, I’ve to peep my mates on how they get their position right.
Tough game, I would say. Maybe this sport ain’t my cup of tea…
Note: This post will be the beginning of me posting human photos in my blog. :P
Champs
I love prawn mee (a.k.a. hokkien mee in Penang). I can’t get enough of it and I don’t mind eating them every single day (of course, they have to be good lah). The only thing that stops me from doing so is blardy cholesterol. I’m not that healthy, yanno…
Apparently, the shop (located in Centrepoint, Bandar Utama) above serves ‘Damn Shiok Hokkien Prawn Mee’. No, you did not read it wrongly. Indeed, they named their hokkien mee (a.k.a. prawn mee in KL) as such. Surprising..? not really as they are one of the good ones in Kuala Lumpur. Therefore, they got balls guts to name theirs as one. They serve more than just prawn mee. They have ’siew yok’, western food, Ipoh Hor Fun and etc. However, my main target was none other than their ‘Damn Shiok Hokkien Prawn Mee’.
2 big ass prawn and big chunks of pork meat. Hidden in the noodles are more peeled prawns!! A handful of beansprouts as well kangkung. Sum all that up and you get a sinful bowl of prawn mee. Best part of all is the pork lard!! Yes, they have it in there. It makes the broth oily tasty. Real tasty.
Do I like it? Yeah. Will I be back for more? Maybe because the price ain’t that ’shiok’. I’ll probably go once in awhile. The only downside was the broth/soup. It was merely warm when it was served to me. Hence, photography at full speed (plus cincai-ness) because I don’t fancy cold food, especially my favourite dish.
