A walk in the park. [With Cammy] – Quotes Edition

A walk in the park. [With Cammy] – Part 2

Considerably, the worst shot for today’s walk. I may sound a little too critical about my photographs - I know right. But this was shot without looking through my lens. I placed Cammy underneath the leaves and just snapped away. Actually looks fine-lar!

 I know this is a super plain shot. But I took it because I just felt like it. It’s simple, nice and free from clutter. Ah, such a peaceful shot, don’t you think so?

Do you know what this reminds me of? The speck of dust which fell on the flower! From the movie, Horton Hears a Who! This flower certainly looked something like that.

 Spot the similarity! :)

 And guess who I meet there at the park? A ladybug! I’m so happy! It’s my first time seeing one and I managed to see a baby one also, but too small for me to take a picture of. :D

 Ladybug, ladybug, ladybug!

I would have never found these little wonders if it wasn’t for my brother who kept pestering me to bring him to the park. Luckily he dragged me there because I was so bloody stressed out and annoyed with my portfolio, I could use the fresh air. And I came back home, feeling lighter and happier.

And, out of the blue when my brother was gaming, I showed him a picture of a guy with 6 packs. I said, “Kah Lok, you must look like that next time.” He said, “Ewwwwwww.”

A walk in the park. {With Cammy}

I need to exercise more often. I'm thin but my body is in dire need of a toning. Plus, I need to get fit by next Friday because I'll be playing futsal again. But it's a competition this time, so it's no longer child's play. And I've already picked my team; Liang Bin's team! Haha. If you had read my previous post about my first Futsal Experience, then you'll know why I chose to be in Liang Bin's team.

Anyway, most people would bring their dogs for a walk in the park but I bring my camera instead. Well, I don't have a dog and I badly need to need to know how to use my camera's functions. I need someone to explain to me the shutter speed and aperture settings too.

I took this picture after it rained. I tried to take the same picture another day but it didn't turn out this nice.

I basically spent 30 minutes kneeling on the sand trying to get a nice shot of the pink flower above. Guess why? Because of all days I decided to take a walk with Cammy, I choose one day when it was windy. And most of the flowers were swaying from left to right. Which is why I gave up and took pictures of the sunset instead. I thought those pictures were pretty good. 

I like this because you could see the rays of sunshine here. It's not that obvious and I want to get a picture where the rays are obvious.

God, I love the hues of orange here.

The sun morphed into a star. Wait, it's already a star. Hehe.

I love this shot. Took it single handedly as my other hand is in front of the lens.

So. what do think of the pictures? I hope to be able to get better shots soon. Maybe I should bring Cammy to the jungle. I will, one day.

The day everything went wrong. [Snapshots of the day.]

Yesterday just sucked really badly. Almost nothing went right and everything bad that could not have possibly happened did happen. Sighs. It's pointless talking about it now. I shall just post some pictures and we shall marvel at Cammy's [and my ability] to take such ah-mazing shots.

Myself and Cik Rahayu, my BM teacher.

Myself and Cik Sri Devi, my Sejarah teacher.

A great big thanks to the both my teachers for teaching me since I was like Form 1. If it wasn't for their effort, I can say that I wouldn't have gotten A+ for the subjects. Of course, I'll like to thank all my other subjects teachers too. And even though, I didn't managed to get A+ for Chemistry (I think I may have let her down since she expected that from me), Puan Lee was one of the best teacher I ever had, albeit only teaching me for two years.

Myself and Puan Lee, my Chemistry teacher.

Remember I mentioned earlier about how everything went wrong? Well, what I'm talking about is that I basically missed the whole prize-giving event because I went to get flowers for my teachers. Plus I didn't expect the event to finish so fast. And when I finally made it there, I couldn't find Puan Lee at all. I searched like all four corners of the hall but I still couldn't find her. Eventually, after the hide and seek game, she called me. Said she was in Methodist Boys School. Daddy drove all the way there and finally found her. Haha, things I'll do for my teacher.

So, you want to see the pictures of the flowers that caused me to be late for the event? They are really pretty. Red roses, my favourite. I bought white too, but the picture didn't look so good. So, I'm not going to post it here.

I just love how beautiful roses are. Even those not fully bloomed yet.

At first, I didn't really like the arrangements for the red roses. I thought the white flowers were too small. But they turned out to be quite pretty on camera.

You can't really see the curves of the petals here but I like how sharp the image is.

And this would have to be the best shot I got of the rose. It looks like I managed to lift the rose of the picture.

Not bad for my Cammy. DSLR could of course do this with ease since it's something related to the Depth of Field which prosumer compact doesn't have or something like that. Please do correct me if 'm wrong.

Anyway, I'm hooked on origami roses; I have been folding and perfecting the art of folding it. Well, take a look and tell me which is better.

The purple rose origami; I coloured the inside of it. Do you like this or ...

... Or the red rose origami better? This is is of course much simpler than the other.

 Hmm, I'm undecided. My brother, Kah Lok prefers the purple one.

Mac And Cheese

Before I go on about how the Mac and Cheese mom and I made over the weekends, I thought I'd like to share an interesting article from New York Times -  First Camera, Then Fork. It's about people who photograph food and display the pictures online. "Oh my gosh, that's so like me." Haha. I know I know. Sometimes, my obsessive compulsive need to snap pictures of food can irk my parents. Imagine; a steaming, piping hot delicious dish of food arrives at the table, you get your fork and knife ready to tuck in the dish but you can't because someone is taking pictures of the food. Yeap, that someone would be me. But I think over the years my parents had learnt to tolerate me already. And really, my OCD isn't that bad. I know the limits; there are times when I know I shouldn't take pictures.

Now, let's get back to something more interesting. The Mac and Cheese.

Macaroni-es. I really love this picture.

Now. covered with white cheese sauce. The sauce itself is heaven and best thing of all, it's pretty simple to make.

The macaronies are placed into a baking tray and covered with crushed cornflakes and cheddar cheese.

Ta-da! You have mac and cheese now.

Honestly speaking, I thought the Mac and Cheese was okay only. Yes, I'm saying this despite the fact that the pictures itself can make you salivate. I blame my camera. Well, my sister and brother loved it but, nah not my type. I didn't like the cornflakes mom decided to put in. It reminds me of milk, and you know how much I hate milk. But I can say that it was good,  it's just not what I like.

Sighs. [And more of Cammy's pictures]

For god knows what reasons, I'm suddenly feeling emotional. Gah, I wonder if guys had moodswings. Sometimes I pity them. I mean as girls we can get away with having moodswings but them, nah. They have it worse than us actually. Haha. I'm just comforting myself. It sucks to be emo because it is at times like this that the brain chooses to think about the most dpressing thing possible. And suddenly, loneliness becomes overwhelming. I'm not sure if I can sleep on this but I think I'll be able to. After all, I did manage to survive things worst than these. I'll be fine. Or so I tell myself.

Red Button: Press me.

I love old stuffs.

Of the best (grilled chicken wing) and the worst (beef noodles).

If you had read my tweets from my Twitter, then you would have already known that I had the best grilled chicken wings yesterday. It was so heavenly, one I can bet no one can even come close to it, taste-wise.

It comes with cucumber and chili too. The chili sauce is not bad.

This is so what heaven looks like to me.

The best way to enjoy the wings is to eat them while they are still piping hot and prepare to get messy, cause you've got to eat them with your hands! As you take the first bite, you can taste the juicyness of the skin and the tenderness of the meat. God, it all fits so perfectly.

 You can see how juicy it is here.

I obviously have no complains about the chicken wings, but I do find the size of the chicken wing slightly smaller in size.

Look at the amount of chicken wings he's grilling. So many!

For all those foodies out there, you'll probably already know of Ah Wah Chicken Wings. But for those who don't, they are located in Queen's Restaurant, Jalan Peel (it's not a restaurant by the way, more of a coffeeshop). It's RM 1.80/wing. It's so worth the try and the drive down to Kuala Lumpur. But I have to warn you that once you start eating, it so easy to get addicted. There, you have been warned.

Thanks Daddy for bringing me there.

Oh, this sour plum drink taste good too. Do order one too from the Queen's Restaurant especially when are you are planning to eat tonnes of chicken wings. It helps cure sore throat and it really works.

While we were there, mommy had the sudden craving for beef noodles. She wanted to eat Ngau Kee beef noodles but I wanted chicken wings, so she settled to eating the beef noodles, located near the chicken wing stall. And that was the biggest mistake ever.

The noodles still had a strong taste of 'kan shui' which means the noodles wasn't rinsed properly after it was cooked. This in turn made the noodles sticky and dry. There was little sauce in the beef noodles altough it was a dry one. It was just horrible and a torture to finish the bowl of noodles. And the best thing was that mommy said that they used to be one of the best ones in Kuala Lumpur.

More of Cammy's Pictures

I'm here with like more of Cammy's food pictures. Initially, I was blogging about yesterday; I only managed one line, but then I gave up. It's caused I'm not used to blogging from blogger.com, I always blog from my Live Writer but I can't do that since my laptop died on me. Now, I've got to wait for Dad to fix it. So, in the meantime, I'll just post more pictures taken by Cammy.

Orange orange.

Yellow mango.

Oh, I love this shot. I like how the fish looks like a crocoranha (crocodile + piranha). It's looks pretty scary too.

Of course, now it's cooked by mommy.

Cammy’s Portrait Pictures

That’s my brother and I hope one day when he realized how weird he looks here, he wouldn’t come and kill me. :)

This is the guy who got me my camera. And yes, you can laugh harder the next time you get me my car.

Cammy’s Food Pictures

Do refrain yourself from drooling while looking at the best Ampang Yong Tau Foo I have ever tasted. I need to emphasize it again. It is the best ones I have ever tasted in my whole entire life. I don’t have the exact address but I can tell you that it’s in Bandar Baru Ampang. It comes along with a rich brownish soup which totally complements the Yong Tau Foo.

Since I just got Cammy, I was experimenting with Cammy and I took the picture below. What do you think?
