Kuantan Malaysia Pics

Didnt take alot of pictures during this trip but there are some still pretty decent that i thought i can share here.

Our "lovely" coach. Seriously, we should all take firefly there, it cost $30 during promotional seasons and its less than 2hrs to reach!


Our first meal at this street hawker...not really very nice but definitely better than yong peng!


Checking in to our "beach resort"


The Biggest Pool in Kuan Tan! Frankly speaking this could be the smallest pool in any Singapore Condo!


Some local "delicacy" shops.




The trip would be very boring if not for the company of my family...


And here is Lucas first overseas trip!


Our fellow tour mates at the beach! I seriously thought the main highlights for the trip was to see some turtle lay eggs but apparently there wasnt any of such program.


But I had to admit that the beaches at Cherating is nice! Much nicer than Bintan!


Gloomy weather and it started drizzling.




Overall, i didnt really enjoy this trip. I still prefer Malacca and im going there in End May!

Back with updates

Finally i am back after my 2 weeks of In Camp training!!!
I got to admit that this in camp, i didnt really do much. Was in my own lonely world throughout the whole week waiting and waiting to go back home. Got many grumblings from my platoon mate. Sorry guys! I promise that the next in camp, I will be more active

The only thing that i have brought back from camp was the the cough virus. Im proud to announce that the habit of sleeping at 10pm is back again!

Oh, during this break, we went to Kuan Tan, Malaysia for a short getaway. Supposingly the place is quite famous but it seems like we got on the wrong tour and ended up disappointed with what we paid for.

I only managed to shoot 2 rolls of film.

Will update more on the trip with pictures in my next entry. I'm going to sleep now and get ready for work tomorrow!

Developing my own negative

This is my first roll self developed at home, not too bad right?
Its not as difficult as i thought but i think i need more practice. This round, i accidentally killed a few frames because i didnt do a good job on loading the negative to the reel.

Pictures were taken at Hard Rock Hotel, Sentosa.






Mum and sis at the Zhang Jing Xuan Concerts.


And a few pictures i took @ office to finish up the roll...


Christine and her swollen lips...haha...ermm i mean biting her lips




If you would like to see more, i posted a few others in my camerani blog.

End of my luck?

It all started with bidding a camera a little too expensive over ebay. Following by the camera wasn't really up to expectation and the worse thing, i couldnt find the seller.
Next, got myself a developing tank but its so difficult to use and ended up ruin a few pictures of mine.

And today, while im back to office, i spill a glass of water over my pants and it looks as though i wet my pants.

To say that i am totally ill fated, its not totally true as well. Minimumly, the camera i have gotten can be use. Everything seems functioning well. No parts missing.

The developing tank still managed to work well and i have gotten my first roll developed properly...just tat i lost a few frames.

There is a strong and powerful hair dryer in the toilet...
I know im super superstitious to say this, i feel somehow or rather, some angels are still around me supporting me through the difficult times.

Given a choice....

I was checking my email this morning and there was one particular email that caught my attention. It was an email invitation to join a fund raising carnival for the Christchurch earthquake victims coming 17 April at the New Zealand residence(28 Queen Astrid park).

If you are interested to know more about New Zealand as well as planning to work or travel there, this might also be a great opportunity. There will be people from the embassy to answer queries.

Well, i just notice that they are looking for people around 18-30 and i might missed the chance soon to be qualify to work there and explore New Zealand in a different manner.

I was given a chance to try but seems like there are a lot more things that i couldn't let go. Family are my prime concern.

Sometimes when a choice is there, its not so simple as to choosing it. There are lots of things to consider before we can choose and most of the time, we don't get what we want.

That's life isn't it?

Lucas at HardRock Hotel
