Economic DownTurn Negates Styling

Posted by danielctw On November - 9 - 2008

Recent economic downturn has basically affected almost the whole wide world. Well, that’s to the observation of the market value and shares of companies around. Those into unit trusts are also facing their worst nightmare.

The most recent case I heard was someone I know had a loss of about RM1 million gone for investment in Unit Trust. Well, he invested in Singapore though. Something which I can’t relate to though.

Anyway why talk about others, why not about how you all protect yourself. Hmm.. easy for lots of us to say though. I seriously think many of us cut back on trying to go for the latest styles ever since this happened. Cause going for latest trend and style cost money unless… unless the decision is made to style less.

Spoilt EyeWear

Remember this pair of shades, well.. if you’ve seen my photos with this shade, well, there won’t be anymore pictures with this shade once again. Sad to say, it is broken. So now trying to get a new piece. There are lots and lots of eyeglasses out there, but somehow, we are all spoilt for choice, am I right?

DanielCtw in Spectacles

So to cut the long story short, I shall test out a few eye wear and then proceed.

Now well, for some of them who didn’t know I used to wear spectacles for awhile when I was young, which was about the time when I was 8 years old. Then I stopped wearing them as my eyesight was deemed good. Well, and with different power for both eyes, it wasn’t going to be easy to so called put on.

But those days those frames are superbly expensive. Now though, I believe if I ever need to get one of those frames once again, I am going to for a cheaper cost. Well, I heard though Zenni Optical is one of the cheapest. So I am keeping my options open.

So who says I can’t style myself.

ps : By the way, I believe this photo makes me look fat. But please focus on the spectacles instead. Haha!! Ya, I just cut my hair.

Kuala Lumpur Photography Festival 2008

Posted by danielctw On October - 27 - 2008

It’s at least 2 weeks after the event of Kuala Lumpur Photography Festival 2008 and the reason why it’s that late due to the fact, I didn’t really take much pictures. The crowd was way too many and with all those cameras in front of me, most of my shots need to be cropped. Well, I even need to raise my hand up to get some shots….

Well, here are the photos. I’ll let you people decide.

Best Portrait Shot of KLPF Model

I seriously love this shot the most. Well, the only one which I can properly focus on.

The following day, Amber Chia did make an appearance and I didn’t go. After experiencing the crazy amount of crowd with no place to hold my camera at all.

Port Dickson PhotoShooter

Posted by danielctw On October - 25 - 2008

This name is misleading. It should be Port Dickson random photoshoots of people there who took part in the BBQ. But then who will bother reading a longer title. So instead of just babbling, here are the few people there.

Won’t be mentioning names, so here you have it for your viewing pleasure. Hope for more gatherings the next time.

Naoty The Beer Guy

Bulat the Plate Girl

Bebee On The Beach

And the one who took the photos?

Orange DanielCtw

So there you have it. Yes, thanks to David of TomagoGame.com for taking this shot of me with his camera. At least got a picture of me in action. Dude… though I seriously going to poison you with DSLR.

There are more photos, but since they are more personal they will be more to my personal blog at the blogspot.

Weirdness at Port Dickson

Posted by danielctw On October - 22 - 2008

You think you’ve seen it all, well, I wanted to make this post instead a wacky post instead. Well, this is of course a personal photo blog, well, and a mixture of travel and places blog. Instead I was thinking of moving real proper event photos on another blog. Hmm.. okay let’s get back to Port Dickson weirdness, with me in the group, there is bound to be some weirdness in character.

Beyond The Sunset

It was a pity I only spent 2 days, we only had one day for a sunset shot and the next afternoon we had to leave. Well, make use of the time and let’s have my 2 volunteer models pose for me. What’s beyond the sunset? A guy with the jetski? If only there weren’t any other obstacle in the photo, this picture would be perfect :(

Remember a few months ago, when I had my one night drive to Port Dickson. This time, we’re back at the same beach at Bayu Beach to take some night scene photos. Well, I must agree I hardly smile. I still need more practice.

Port Dickson BBQ Trip

Posted by danielctw On October - 20 - 2008

It was 11th October 2008, the day when a few weeks ago, someone planned to have a BBQ gathering at Port Dickson and that person was none other than Joey, founder of Kokorobox.net. But then Daniel and his 2 other friends, David and Carrie had other ideas. Maybe just go there and bump into them and rather just relax at the beach and take photos. Well, to avoid the working atmosphere once in awhile.

Well, surprisingly, it was a very short notice for the 3 people and I really must thank Carrie for her willingness to drive. Did I forgot to mentioned, the 3 of us were previously schoolmates.

Blue Sea, Blue Sky

Look at the clear blue sea and the blue sky.. ya… it’s just color balance settings I played on my camera. Port Dickson is not that blue and judging from the photos, this is actually how it really looks like.

Sunset At Port Dickson Silhouette

As this beach is located on the West coast, it’s definitely you can only catch the sun setting at the horizon instead of rising. Yes, the crooked horizon. I am too lazy to modify my photos right now. Well, this is only one of those, I have lots of other Silhouette photos at Port Dickson.

The Port Dickson was rather a relaxation to find space and time for oneself. Okay, enough of the scenery then, who are the 3 of us?
