Running Tap Water

Never leave your tap water running. We should all learn how to save water. For example, flush only once a day. haha. Anyway just for your interest here are some A-Z water saving tips.

Absolute Vodka

I think it was early last year. After work, had my dinner, showered, and discovered that there isn't much to do. So I guess its time to play with my camera before either one of us rot. haha.



And the outcome was this.

Spanish Cuisine

This tapas buffet is different from the usual buffet. You have to order what you want and they'll make it for you instead of having an array of food stalls.

This is the menu.



We are allowed to order a maximum of 8 dishes each time.



So here we have Calamares a la Andaluza (deep-fried rings of squid served with roasted garlic mayonnaise and lemon - on the left front), Berenjenas Gratinadas (Fresh aubergine, topped with cheese and tomato - centre front), Pescado Bianco Frito (White fish, deep fried in beer batter- right front), Chorizo Frito al Vino (Spicy Spanish sausage, sauteed in red wine) and the further three were toasted bread topped with garlic & fresh tomato, some fried potatos and Spanish omelette.

I love the fried squid, fish in beer batter and the Spanish sausage.



The restaurant decor is quite nice too.



To all Spanish Cuisine lovers, you should give it a try if you haven't tried it yet.

Tapas anyone?

Anybody fancy some Spanish cuisine? Went to La Tasca near Leicester Square last weekend. They were having a tapas buffet for ten quid (£10). Eat all you can it says...

Too many things, yet so little time

I am sure most of you have encountered situations when you have so many things to do in such a short time. I could easily write a huge list of to-do task, but let's just not go there.

Anyway, if you are in the same situation as me here is the temporary cure. Screammmm all you can like the photo below :)



Hope that helps ;)

New Toys

I am sure most of you out there love new gadgets especially us, guys.
Anyway, I just got myself a Sennheiser earphones couple of weeks ago. These earphones are supposed to sit inside your ears and it is able to cancel off 90% of the noise. Its pretty useful when you want to listen pure music without background noise disturbance.



Well, not too sure if you guys noticed that I was using a macro lens for the these two photos. I borrowed a Nikkor 105mm f2.8 VR Macro from my colleague to test it with my new Nikon D300. The results seems pretty good.



Yes you read me right, I finally upgraded to a Nikon D300. Enjoy :)

It was to stop

Its late spring now which means its gonna be summer next month. We are getting more daylight and sun doesn't set until like 9 in the evening. It'll get later as we are getting nearer to June and the longest day of the year will be in that month itself.

So I was out late one night, waited for a bus outside Waterloo Underground Station so I can get to Canada Water Station.



After a long wait, a bus No.188 was coming towards my direction. The next moment...



It didn't stop at all. Just imagine from "waving for the bus to stop" to "waving goodbye".

A place that I miss most

Can you guys guess where is this? I am sure if you look carefully you will definitely know where this is.

This photo was taken awhile ago when I had an outing with my friend. I don't normally bring my camera around these places and even if my camera was with me, I would still leave it in my bag as the area isn't too safe to do that. (Correct me if I am wrong)



However, when I saw the amazing reflection on the windows of the buildings I just couldn't help it.

The Cans Festival 3

Continuing from the previous Cans Festival photos.





There are quite a number of photographers in the event too.



Notice the car?





Look as though the car went through the wall.

The Cans Festival 2

Here are some more photos of the Cans Festival held in Leake Street, London. There are still a lot more photos waiting to be posted, so it should take awhile before I am able to post everything.

So here is a weird tree in the middle of a car bonnet.



Let's go closer to see what's on the tree. CCTV?!



Do you think the tree grows from there or was it planted by the artist?



A girl and a three-eyed pink dwarf. I just love the 3d effect by including the shadow.



A butterfly man? Let's just say its artistic!

A peek at daisies

More photos of tiny daisies. They are only the size of a one pound or a riggit coin.

I decided that shooting from a lower angle could be better, so I got down on to the grass and frame these beautiful daisies.



When you have so many choices you just couldn't decide which shoot first.



Found some nice one over here.



Hope you enjoy the daisies :)

What is a proper spring season?

Finally, we are now getting a proper sunny weather after weeks of horrible Spring Season (March - May) with just rain and gloomy weather.



Almost everyday I'll take this shortcut route which will pass through a residential area to get my lunch. It has always been just a green empty patch of ground until couple of days ago. I just realised the daisies and it is so beautiful. The next day, I couldn't resist and ended up bringing my camera to work. Bear in mind that my camera + laptop = very heavy. Anyway, I think it's worth the trouble :) Enjoy.

Stencil Arts

Here are a few more stencil arts by some amazing artists at the Cans Festival on Leake Street last weekend.

This one looks like some Japanese anime character. Looks pretty cute though.



Its kind of messy here, there is a skeleton graffiti, a roman statue, a construction in progress sign and furniture.



I am sure most of you can draw this too. The stick man society!



The most colourful slide I have ever seen. Perhaps it looks more like a vandalised slide to you. haha.



Man in black with... what's that on the background? blood? Isn't that supposed to be red?
Must be out of red paint :)



Note: In case you might be wondering due to the angles, all of these are graffiti painted on the wall along Leake Street.

Posting more graffiti on my next post.

The Cans Festival

The cans festival which is a street party of stencil art that was held along Leake Street. That is just 3 minutes walk from London Eye. Am sure you guys would know this famous landmark.

So when we arrived at the entrance of Leake Street we saw thousands of people queuing.
It took us more than half an hour to get into the place.



For all artists who wish to leave your markings or signatures on the wall you have to register first. For your information, they are allowed to paint in the designated area only, anything outside the area will be prosecuted.



Fancy any artists? Get them to paint on your shirt! Watch it, he might ended up having a tattoo!



So here are some of the nice art work.



I am not too sure what it says on the shirt, tell me if you know what it means.



Posting more graffiti/paintings on the next post.

Tioman Island 2

Here are some more photos of the Tioman Island. Instead of shooting the normal beach photos I decided to post some marine park shots.

This marine park is on the same side as the Tioman Island's airport or between the coast from the airport to Berjaya Resort.



The boat on the right belongs to the dive centre I am diving with. The marine park is just like a private car park for boats.



The weather was fantastic, the water was clear, seriously it was really great for diving or any outdoor activities.
