Blue, white, and sand
|

Brought Yume along to Cherating beach and seriously was very pleased with the results  Still in the process of learning how to use the camera though; a long long way to go...
Slippers, and my family.
My brother Aizad posed for Yume.

Introducing...YUME
|
|
Ok, looks like I have to, again, delay my Tokyo photos  Terribly sorry! Loads to select, edit and consider, and hence it does take time. My apology. One day I will definitely post them
So, who's Yume?  Yume means dream in Japanese language, and it is my newly bought Nikon D50, aged 3 days  I am super excited about it, and can't possibly wait to share the results. Since I have no idea how to use a dslr, and well I have to bring the manual booklet everywhere I go, so I used auto setting for the following shots. Hopefully once I master the booklet, and try and error with Yume, then I will use manual setting et cetera.
Thanks to my brothers for being supportive and good models

BorakPhoto Assignment: INSECT
|
|
My Tokyo photos have to wait and give their way to BorakPhoto's Insect Assignment.
Truthfully I myself am not satisfied with the results, but I had to give up on shooting the insects as mosquitos were quite in a mood of attacking me. Twenty mosquito bites!!!
Anyhow, enough said.

From Tokyo with Love
|
|
Dear all,
Addiction to update my fotopages...This is the disease that I currently have.
As I am updating this entry, I am in Tokyo, Japan at Suellen's house. We have been friends since 2003 when we were still studying in Seisen International School, and we have not met for two years already and Suellen and her family have been kind to allow me to stay here and truthfully have given me the best time of my life.
Thank you. Obrigada. Arigatou.
Many more photos will be updated sometime later, but for now my passion for night shots is unstopable that I felt I just have to share these with you. Unfortunately, I do not have a tripod, and hence these were all 'hand-held.'
From Main Observatory, Tokyo Tower:
Renzo Piano's Maison Hermes, Ginza:
Sincere apologies from me to those kind fotopagers who commented on my previous entries. I will definitely visit your fotopages and comment when time permits. You have my words.

A Sayonara entry
|
|
| Quote: | | Sadly, this could be my last posting. I am going back to Malaysia next week and there is a big possibility that it will be difficult for me to update while I am there. I am sure to take many photos during my holidays, and who knows, maybe even get a new camera Anyway, I am coming back for another fun yet busier academic year possibly in early September, so until next time, whenever that will be, live life to the fullest. |
I couldn't decide what to put up as my last posting. No new experiments have been done. Nothing. So this last entry is pretty boring. My apology to all. Hence the most obvious one is this:
Today in 3rd floor of Abercrombie Building of Oxford Brookes University at 6pm local time there will be held one of the best events ever: The End of Year Exhibition. What will happen is that architecture students from all years get the chance to put their works up for display for the public to view. For first year, our tutor Adam had a dream about how we were going to set our exhibition. Our semester work was about designing a gallery for an artist and most of us came up with the idea of pods and journeys et cetera and hence Adam suggested that we combine these ideas and integrate them into the exhibition. Why pink you may ask? That...is a mystery
I will definitely take pictures later today, but I doubt that I have the time to post them unfortunately. So here are some photos of the early stages of the set up for First Year Exhibition which was taken on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. I hope this event will go smoothly as planned
Goodbye first year, Hello second year.
One more thing, my family will all be leaving for Malaysia for good. So it is a big goodbye for them to UK. I took my brother Aiman to have his hair cut at Johnny's as usual last week. I always see this male barber shop in black and white for some reason, and hence I treated these photos in black and white. Goodbye Hendon Avenue, goodbye Finchley, goodbye London...and goodbye United Kingdom on behalf of my family.
Signing out for summer holiday,

Friday the 19th
|

My camera ran out of battery on that day So many events!
1. Malaysia Week at Covent Garden - there were many activities such as fashion show, traditional dance, music, and many many more! It was quite an event! It ends today though  Wonder when will be the next Malaysia Week
N.B. I forgot to put up some photos so I placed them as thumbnails instead.
2. The Lion King theatre - an absolute fun to watch!!!! LOVE IT! If you ever come to London, please please please go and watch it. It is an experience that you will remember forever. As it is forbidden to take photos inside the theatre, I snapped a photo of the door Better this than nothing
3. Another attempt on Light Trail

All in one
|

Since I stopped by in Oxford today, I thought I just post these rather than wait for the weekend.
Three things:
1. My late entry on Light Trail. My apologies to borakPhoto members. Nothing much; just first few trials.
2. Visited Hampton Court with my family sometime this week, and I just have to post this photo!
3. Good news good news good news!!! I am so proud to be a part of this! We beat AA (Architectural Association)! Yeeehaaa! Read the following:

Top school outside London
The Department of Architecture at Oxford Brookes University has been named as the UK's leading school of architecture outside London in a new survey conducted by The Architect's Journal (AJ 4 May 2006 page 84).
In the survey the 100 largest architectural practices were asked to name the best school in the UK. Oxford Brookes came second overall, behind UCL but ahead of the Architectural Association as well as Cambridge, Cardiff, Sheffield and others.
'Oxford Brookes has long been seen as one of the UK's premier schools', said head of architecture Prof Mark Swenarton. To receive this sort of recognition from the UK's leading architectural employers is a real tribute to the school's staff as well as students and underlines Oxford Brookes' standing within the profession'. |
Live life to the fullest everyone Until next time...

#1 is actually just the light from the torchlight. I didn't use any night mode like I did for #2 and #3. Just snapped it and voila!
The last pic...I wish I know the story behind it I guess it is up to you to make up the stories Tell me what you think because I would love to hear. |

Hye! Just a few updates:
* I am back home in London where the pc is ridiculously slow! It took loads of patience to even write this little note here.
* I haven't been able to visit loads of fotopages and I apologize in advance! I will do so once I get back to Oxford. Promise!
* As many have known, borakPhoto Team is back with another task i.e. Light Trail. Please browse borakPhoto members' fotopages to see their Light Trail experiments by clicking their links on the left-hand side of the screen. I will upload mine, hopefully, this weekend as I will be back in Oxford by then.
* Until next time, take care, and 'Live life to the fullest!'
