Just gonna be a short post today with a few pictures from the wedding I took recently for my good friend Xuejing and her hubby Johnson.

Xuejing is my secondary school friend so I’ve known her for like more than 10 years already.

Cutting down to the chase, here are some photos from that day.

I like this edit quite a bit.

Random Updates

Published on November 2, 2009 in General. 1 Comment

Okay, after a hiatus of a few months due to the standard reasons of being busy, sheer laziness and what not, I hope to be able to blog a bit more consistently from now now. (though I don’t trust myself to do so anymore.. )

Anyway, just a few updates on what has happened the past 2-3 months since I last blogged

  1. Bali Trip
    Went to a short weekend trip to Bali with a group of 8 ppl including Peiwen and myself. My blog header picture (paddy field) is actually taken at Bali in case you’re wondering. Will probably take it down soon as it’s taking quite a bit of real estate. Took some photos there, so maybe will post a few on the blog soon. (or never depending on laziness level)
  2. Actual Day Wedding Photography for Kaifeng And Meili
    Took wedding day photos for Kaifeng whom is Peishi’s (ex colleague) younger brother. Was a whole day affair starting at 8am at the bride’s house at the faraway land of Pioneer (west side). My day ended at 11 pm after the wedding dinner and all. Really tiring affair but glad the photo turned out alrite.
  3. Actual Day Wedding Photography for Johnson And Xuejing
    Another wedding day photos for my good old friend Xuejing (secondary school classmate). Quite a delightful affair starting the day at 6+ am in JB and ending after a nice poolside ROM and buffet luncheon. No less tiring of course even though it was 1/2 day of work. They’re just going through the photos after coming back from honeymoon in Japan. Hope I managed to capture the moment.
  4. A new desktop PC
    Got myself a new Desktop PC. Assembled it at Sim Lim. The big plan for this PC is more for CPU intensive work for image editing as well as a storage solution. Intend to actually fit in a few HDD configured in a RAID array. Well, the RAID part is not in yet due to budget constraints. So that’s upcoming in future (probably not so near unless SingaporePools approves my application)
  5. New furniture from IKEA
    Bought 2 new furniture from IKEA. A table for my new desktop PC as well as a Billy Bookcase for well.. books and such. With these purchases I’ve clocked enough purchases from IKEA to qualify extension of my IKEA Friends card for another 2 years (yeah.. spending a lot at IKEA).
  6. Helped a buddy with his website
    Helped a buddy revamp his clinic’s website. You can check out the website at http://backandneckchiro.com. My buddy Vish runs the clinic and I personally go there for chiropractic treatment to fix up my back aches as well as headaches. If you’re having issues with your back and neck, I personally recommend that you check out my friend’s clinic.
  7. Gained a few Kilos
    Gained a few kgs.. DRATS.. need I say more

Well, some targets I have set for myself for the very new future

  1. Buy ingredients for my next beer brew.
  2. Upload a few pics from the Bali trip.
  3. Upload a few pics from the weddings I’ve taken recently.
  4. Cut on expenditure.. spending money like water the past few months.
  5. Prepare to take wedding pics for my colleague Darren.
  6. LOSE a few Kilos.

Okay, that sums up updates for now. Hope to blog again real soon.

Merdeka .. Merdeka ..

It’s that time of the year again, where we Malaysians celebrate our independance.

Don’t really have much to say.. but my colleague just sent me this youtube clip that I think it’s very nice. Do check it out.

This clip has been out a while but kudos to the people who made it. Something refreshing in the midst of all these crap we hear about racial divides these days.

MERDEKA!!

Brewing Log – 22 July 09 – Beer

Published on July 22, 2009 in Beer Brewing. 0 Comments Tags: .

Okay, this has been a very very late update. Think the euphoria of the beer brewing died down already.

Anyway, the beer brewing was a SUCCESS. And I actually did get to have a mini beer party. The initial plan from my sinister colleagues and friends was to actually finish up ALL my beer. But alas, pizzas and chicken wings caused stomachs to not being able to contain a lot of beer.

So in the end of the party, only managed to drink 9 bottles which is roughly about 6.5 litres of beer? So where are the pictures? Well, I was kinda busy eating and drinking to take any. I believe Darren took some pictures but I didn’t get it from him.

So now today at 22 July 09, I still have 8 bottles of beer remaining. Seeing that it has been 2 months since the beer was ready from drinking and I still have 8 bottles left does show that I’m no alcoholic. I am planning to finish up the beer soon and start to brew my 2nd batch. Will be ordering ingredients soon.

Okay, I can sense some of you complaining that the post is too wordy already. To end it off, a picture of my beer.

Beer ready to drink

Beer...

Oh yeah… I am gonna go Bali tomorrow!. So hope that I’ll be able to take some decent pictures and blog about it!

Okay, today is another milestone in the beer brewing project. BOTTLING.

Now that the fermentation has stopped, it’s time to bottle the beer. So I lay out the necessary items on my dining table.

All items layed out

All items layed out

So I’ll quickly run through few of the important items this round apart from of course… the beer.

First up we have this  nifty little thing known as the “Little bottler” and it attaches directly to the tap of the main fermenter. We’ll see how it is used in a short while. Continue reading ‘Brewing Log – 21 May 09 – Bottling’
