Happy 9th Birthday Syafie ...
|
|
My eldest boy, Syafie, celebrated his ninth birthday last Monday ... November 29th. He's happy when I surprised him with a cake, when I got back from work that day.
... I am the one who feels older every time my kids blow the candles on the birthday cake

Khatam Al-Quran
|
|
Before the school closes a couple of weeks ago, the school my son goes to organized a Majlis Khatam Al-Quran. I was invited and got a few shots of the event ... (a little dark, though)
Khatam Al-Quran:
The Khatam al-Quran is a ceremony that marks the completion of reading of the entire Quran, by a boy or girl.
Khatam al-Quran ceremony requires the boy or girl to read verses from final section of the Holy Quran (Surah-surah Lazim) before his parents, his Quran teacher and invited guests.Thenafter, everyone is treated to a feast or "Kenduri". To close the ceremony, the guests are presented with "bunga telor", a boiled egg attached to a stick, decorated with floral designs.

Arowana, Dragon Fish or Kelisa
|
|
A few months ago, I had an online chat with a friend and he had just bought a new digicam to take photos of his beautiful Arowana. He asked me how to take pictures of fish in an aquarium. I have never done this kind of shot, so I cannot help him much.
Last Wednesday, I went to a cousin's apartment to try and capture a decent image of the Arowana. He has a big Arowana in a six foot fish tank. It's mesmerising just to watch the fish swim.
Well, I tried to take a few shots of the Arowana. It was not as easy as I initially thought. Lighting is a problem and the Arowana itself is an active fish, it hardly stay still ... I took a few shots and all are either out of focus or blurred. Flash will not work at all because of flash relfection on the aquarium glass surface.
So, instead of taking a "stationary" picture of the fish, I decided to try panning across the aquarium following the fish as it swims. Here's the result ....

Only this morning I stopped over at Hazeelin's fotopage and wrote a small comment on her photos of a Malay wedding ... and later in the evening a friend of mine pestered me to show him some wedding pictures I took. My friend's little brother is getting married in December, and he (my friend) wanted to try covering the wedding as a secondary photog. I ended up scanning some of my 4R prints.
Initially, I don't feel like posting these pictures, but since I had already scanned the prints and this friend of mine said, "Hey, these are quite good"... I thought I might as well post this here and get feedbacks from more people.
These were taken September, last year ... my cousin's wedding. I was just another relative with a camera snapping away some pix for momentos.
So, whaddaya think .........

The kids had a lot of fun playing together ... so, I thought I'd get a shot of them playing. It feels really warm inside seeing them happily playing together. If you are a parent, you'll know what I mean

Chicken or beef Rendang is a compulsory spicy dish to complement the Lemang. This time around I had to chase and catch "free range chicken" (ayam kampong) for the dish .....
