Photonian's Andrew and the ostrich
Leopard: What's that?
Last sunday, photonian organised a shooting at the Zoo of Melaka, Air Keroh. Nine of us went there for 2 hours during the evening. It was really a good time to shoot the animals because the slumberous animals became active during evening.
Telephoto lens are essential for shooting wildlife. In this case, I had to stand as close as possible to the animals to have a better shot with my kit lens.
On the 2nd of January, Photonian organised an event shooting to a fashion show, The Fantasyland 2010 from Brush Up Academy at the Aloha fashion bar in Melaka. The fashion show was lovely with brilliant make-up artists and their art-work.
The difficulty in this shooting was the lighting and smoke used in this event. Because it was in a club, the venue was dark and the show was flashed with spot lights and laser-like beams. From point to point, smoke effect was used to enhance the mysterious atmosphere, however gave us a little of difficulty to the sharpness and colors of our photos.

The little eight year-old boy enjoying writing
With the permission of Mr. Liu, my chinese calligraphy teacher, I snapped some photos of the class and my friendly classmates who are mostly primary school students. Right now, most of the students are busy writting spring festival couplets for Chinese New Year. These couplets will be sold as charity fund for the Bachang St John’s Dialysis Center in Melaka.
According to Mr. Liu, Bachang St John’s Dailysis Center has about 100 patients. Each treatment is charged RM10 which is relatively cheap. By doing so, the center has to bare thousands of ringgit for the operation each year and thus, donation is collected to maintain the cost.
These young artists of the class (mostly primary school students) are doing their very best to write in order to help the dialysis patients. Every piece of the writings will be sold for charity and the fund collected is 100 percent donated to the Bachang St John’s Dialysis Center.
I would like to wish my best friend and also juesatta pianist Jason Tan happy birthday. Jason, here’s to another year of experience; you are not just a year older, but a year better and wiser. Hope your birthday blossoms into lots of dreams come true.
A flash back on Jason’s recent song-play of the famous Teresa Teng’s Chinese song, Yue Liang Dai Biao Wo De Xin (The moon represents my heart) which dedicated to all the loving couples.
Fruitie frozen yogurt
I hadn’t tasted frozen yogurt before, until my friend, Danny invited me to shoot his frozen yogurt for his dessert shop which is opening next week, 23rd of January on the 2nd floor of Dataran Pahlawan, Melaka (next to the old entrance of Carrefour).
When shooting the products, I had the chance too to taste the frozen yogurt with all the toppings available such as lemon, mango, peach, pineapple, kiwi fruit, hazelnut, peanuts, raisins, chocolate and many more. Danny will be using high quality yogurt mix from overseas.
Though I am a yogurt love, I never tasted frozen yogurt before. When I had the first sip of the frozen yogurt given by Danny, I was immediately addicted to it. That very night, I had 5 cups of the frozen yogurts. It tasted sweet, a little bit of sour, chilling, and of course refreshing and yummy yogurt taste. It also went well with different topping combinations.
I would strongly recommend it to my friends and will definately be there during the opening of Danny’s shop, Skinny Yogurt to snap some photos and yum, try again the frozen yogurts. Below are some samples of my shoots for Danny:
Mango flow frozen yogurt
Cereal and nuts frozen yogurt
