EIB: Lost Performance

Received a reply from hosting provider of Emila's Illustrated Blog:


It's a "lost performance" problem. Whatever that means. Hope they find the root of the problem.

KAJI CEPAT-CEPAT SIKIT, OK!

Nak cuba buat macam yunus punya itik yang metalik itu. Macam jadi je...tapi rumput tu macam semak sikit. I'll try later with the goose in the pond pulak. Did lighting adjustment in PS under shadow & highlight.

I believe you can cook

Everytime I pass the tv area, I will hear this breaker from Cartoon Network. My son is CN fanatic and Chowder is one of his favourite cartoon. It really made my day every time I saw it. I love Chowder too!!!



Here's the lyric; come let's sing together! Anny? Spiffy? Nessa? You're up to it?
I believe you can cook
You should believe, cause I believe in you
You just have to try and trust your gut that it can put food on plate
Cause you're the best chef in the world
And everything I learned, I learned from you
Even if I didnt understand a word
On the wings of an eagle

Hahahahahahaha I really love the lyrics! The last line is so irrelevant!

Maverick me

I found this quiz from Marzie's blog and laughed at the results. Some facts are true, some not.


You Are a Maverick



You're a restless rebel with an unpredictable nature.

Bright but unbridled, you tend to seek out wild experiences over new ideas.

People are frustrated by your great potential, but you love your unconventional life.

You're a heartbreaker. People get attached to you, and then you're gone.

Your strength: Your thirst for adventure

Your weakness: Not taking time for slow pleasures

Your power color: Hot pink

Your power symbol: Figure eight

Your power month: March

Homemade strobe photography

I dunno how to explain this professionally coz am merely new to this technique. My husband could explain it better but he's not here right now.

So, we had this session few weeks ago for a book cover project that I was working on. They wanted a rain droplets but I was running out of time. And to look information for the next rain fall is not what I wanted to do. So my husband offered to help me capture homemade rain droplets. So he construct a homemade strobe. We used the flash light as external lighting and set our kitchen to pitch dark. We set the camera to a bulb mode for super-long exposures: the shutter remains open for as long as the shutter release is pressed; in our case we use remote control. We set the ISO to 200. My husband's main task was to hold a bag of water on one hand and to handle the flash light on the other. My task was to press the remote control soon as he presses the flash light and continue doing so until his hands are all cramped. Before we began capturing, we focused on an object in the middle of the tray so that we get a focused image of droplets later. We used 55mm lens.

This is our kitchen :P

At first we used, blue tray but the images were not good; here's a sample:


We need something without color, so we switched to white tray (luckily I have two trays at home; yup they're IKEAs). But my husband was not satisfied with the outcome:


Then he had this idea of putting black cloth beneath the tray. It was better!


Got even better over times and cramped hands.

Dialogue: let's move

Son: I want to move away...
Me: Why?
Son: The neigbourhood kids are so mean!
Me: How's that so?
Son: They broke the watercolor brush that you gave me...
Me: But we don't have enough money to move to a new house...
Son: I have RM6.00 in my wallet; that'll do..

Fiery Friday


Captured this on Friday evening on the way back to my hometown; near Ampang Point. It looked so fiery as if it wanted to explode. But the fact is, that is the reflection of a sunset.

Adjusted the shadow and highlight in PS.

Bila malas

Bila malas, aku tidur
dengan harapan akan datang semangat baru
bila bangun tidur
aku jadi semakin malas

Tapi kerja bertimbun
aku kena bangun dan siapkan
