Christmas & Family Gathering 2008

I know it's a bit late but anyway, Merry Christmas Everyone!!!...

Like the years before, I was in Ranau during the recent Christmas celebration and it's just feel great to be celebrating it this year since we're almost a complete family (without my two brothers who's still in Peninsular Malaysia) when we (my family members) gathered for the celebration and family gathering this time around.

My older sister, Giding (nama kampung) and her husband with their children were already at my parent's home earlier when we (me + my brother) arrived home on the night of Christmas's Eve. My younger brother,Wel is back in Sabah on holidays leave for two weeks and we have been aramai tie since he first landed ...Hahaha...1st night sudah kalapik...Alalala...Dewa aramai tie Penang tewas di Sabah juga...Hehehe. It has been 2 or 3 years already I think since his last trip back in Sabah and sampai saja already kena poisoned... Hahaha... Inda rugi balik bah kan... My younger sister, Indut (also nama kampung ni) arrived on the 26th with her bf after celebrating Christmas in Tambunan with her bf's family and with everyone at home, the house felt like alive again, especially with my sister's children around.

The highlight of this year's Christmas would be the grand family gathering (on my father's side) which was held at my auntie's house (my father's younger sister) in Kg. Marakau, Ranau. Met (al)most all of my uncles, aunties,cousins, nephews and nieces there. Some of them were familiar faces whereas some were new faces to me.. and there are so many of them. I really need a lot of time to catch up and remember about all the 'new' relatives that I've just known.

A funny and good thing was that it turned out that my two uncles whom have been working together at the same place in Telupid without realizing that they are actually related until they met up each other again on that day...Sad but true kinda story jugala ni. It's that kind of situation what the family gathering was all about...getting to know your own roots so that everyone know each others as to keep the family ties strong through the generations.

It was only the 2nd such family gathering being organized after the 1st gathering was initiated by my parent at our house last year and it would be a an annual event in years to come. Among the activities were gotong-royong for preparing food and dishes, eating lunch together, brief 'sembahyang', families introduction (suai kenal), families photo session with me being the 'official' photographer..matai la, our grandfather's (the only one left) birthday celebration and finally exchange gifts. It was both exciting and tiring experience...

Even though not everyone was there, it was still a successful gathering considering being only the 2nd time around and we are expecting it to improve over the next gathering at Kg. Bongkud (my 'new' datuk's house) in year 2009.


P/S: I'm still going through all the pictures that I've taken and will post them here once I'm done.

Sabah F2000 World Cup Powerboat Race 2008

Just some (crappy) pictures I've taken during the recent Sabah Powerboat Race event held along the KK waterfront esplanade (in front of Promenade Hotel) recently. Didn't bring my zoom lense on my 1st day and totally missed the action on the last day. Planned to test my zoom lense actually for the final but somehow woke up late and later cancelled the trip as I had to travel to Papar in the afternoon.

Some of the stalls/tents being setup for the event. Not many
visitors around and some of them still empty...


The demo powerboat being displayed next to the organiser's stall (tent)

One of my favourite toys..they are NAZA bikes but
the one I'm interested in ..NAZA GTR 150 was not on display

It was around noon time when I was there and the sun was really hot. I saw the souvenir umbrella was selling like hot cakes due to the hot weather. So, I just had a quick tour around the area, snapped some pictures and made my way home...Really cannot tahan the hot sun these days...

16th Dec...Last Trip to Sandakan in 2008

Just came back from outstation trip to Sandakan yesterday for another project's meeting there and it came across in my mind that it's actually my last trip to Sandakan in this year... which I think worth penning it down here.

There will be still more Sandakan's trip to come next year but let that be another chapter left to be told when the time comes. Was it the 7th or 8th trips altogether already since I was assigned to handle this particular project when it started a few months back?...I seem to have lost counts already the exact number but this one would surely the most unforgettable one as I was 1 HOUR LATE this time around...Quite an embarrassing experience.

The story started the week before when the 1st notice of meeting was issued to be on 2:30pm but last minute the client changed it to 10.00am with another notice issued on Friday's afternoon, being the reason... oleh kerana desakan kerja yang tidak dapat dielakkan (typical government department reason). The office already booked my flight earlier at 9:05am KK-Sandakan based on the 1st notice, so I was thinking no need to change as I thought I still can make it on time not realizing that my flight was MASWings (fokker) which took longer flying period (55 minutes) and I only knew then that it has a bad habit of being 'delayed'. So, when I arrived at the airport after rushing from office-home-airport, (I didn't sleep the whole night as I was busy preparing drawings to be given to the contractor), to my disappointment our flight ( I was with the C&S engineer on that same plane) was delayed to 10:10am...Matai la...Didn't expect such thing would happened when to our assumption that the sudden meeting was supposed to be a 'strict' one since the project's work progress was not so good during the last recent meeting (actually only about 2 weeks ago). We were expecting the main contractor including us, the in-house consultants would be under fire for the slow progress on site. Everything seemed to be wrong from the beginning and my hunch was that something really 'bad' going to happened in the meeting.

So, we flew from KK-Sandakan on time (finally) and it was raining when we arrived at the airport. Only the main contractor's supervisor was there to pick us up and went straight to the meeting place. As expected, all the others already arrived and were waiting for us... the 'YB'... as they jokingly 'greeted' us when we arrived. So I just put up my widest smile (sambil tahan muka tabal la ni) and apologizing to everyone for the unexpected delay...apa bole buat kan. Luckily, the client was 'lenient' in their remarks and though the contractor's progress was still behind schedule during the presentation, we were left spared from anymore 'verbal embarrassment' during the meeting...nasib baik inda kena tembak lagi... The client's return flight was on the 2.00pm plane, so the meeting was conducted quite fast considering that only a few minutes left for a quick lunch at their favorite place (kedai mamak) before making their way to the airport...leaving me alone behind with the contractors' geng since my return flight was on 6:50pm...huhuhu.

Went down to MPS at the town centre with the contractor to submit drawings for other project then later we lepak at the Servay Supermarket somewhere along Batu 8 (if I'm not mistaken)...minum-minum...just to burn some time before finally the contractor sent me to the airport to go home..That's how my last trip to Sandakan this year was like and maybe I'll be rambling more about this particular project next time as it got something to do with preparation for a big event next year, June 2009. So, stay tune...


P/S : I meant to post this right on the night after I arrived home from the airport, but I felt asleep halfway through..hehehe. I really need the sleep after staying up the whole night before.

What Type Is Your Blog?

Found this interesting tool over the internet called 'Typealyzer' which analyze a blog for the blogger's so called 'self-percieved personality'. Here's mine:

ESFP - The Performers

The entertaining and friendly type(1). They are especially attuned to pleasure and beauty and like to fill their surroundings with soft fabrics, bright colors and sweet smells(2). They live in the present moment and don´t like to plan ahead - they are always in risk of exhausting themselves(3).

The enjoy work that makes them able to help other people in a concrete and visible way (4). They tend to avoid conflicts and rarely initiate confrontation - qualities that can make it hard for them in management positions(5).

This is what I think about these so called analysis :

1. Guess so,.. I''m more like the quiet type actually but depending on the mood (aramai tie la ni ), I can be 'really' entertaining and friendly but mostly among friends la... (Too friendly lain pula orang bilang, bikin malu ja)

2. Guess so,.. I like creative and good things in life and that maybe include the soft fabrics,...etc.(sounds macam pondan ja ni..alala)

3. Not really,.. Though I'm enjoying my present life as orang bujang now, I do have plans ahead. If not, I wouldn't be at where I'm now.

4. Yeah,.. Who wouldn't like such work? Helping to shape Sabah into a better place would have been my ultimate goal if I become a successful architect. (planning ni..hehehe)

5. Yeah,.. I'm just a simple, peace loving guy, but does it really affect one's performance as a leader?...mmm

Interestingly, the results do resemble most of my so called 'qualities' even though its note did mention that writing style on a blog may have little or nothing to do with a person´s self-perceived personality. So what type is your blog?

Freedom is 'Cuti-cuti Krismas'...:)

071208 Gathering

Boleh Bah!... That's my first expression when my two friends, Ray and Edmund contacted me when they wanted to arrange for friends gathering at another friend's (Alveen) house in Putra Jaya, Telipok during the recent weekend(7/12/08). Actually just last month, we also had a small gathering there when Alveen and his wife just finished moving into the house and that day we finished off 1 and 1/2 bottles of his chivas for the house warming... :) Anyway, for this 2nd gathering I 'm supposed to prepare the special Tambunan tajau (my auntie's home made special) for the ocassion...You see they all already kena 'poisoned' during our previous visits to my auntie's house back in Tambunan...As one of my chinese friend used to say 'kick leher' ba minum... Hahaha...Tajau jugala menjadi pilihan...Sekali mensiop mau lagi...2 kali mensiop terus kondem...inda jerah-jerah dorang ni...Hahaha.

Back to my two friends, so who are they? My two 'cikgu' friends who have just finished their KPLI program at Maktab Perguruan Tawau and this gathering is something like a celebration for finishing the program and finally becoming 'cikgu'...something like 'Prison Break' jugala ni because the place really-really secluded (tengah-tengah oil palm estate ba) and damn boring according to them. Anyway, congratulation to them for escaping from 'Alcatraz' and back to civilization...Hahaha. They are enjoying their holiday now until early January next year when the school break is over and maybe go separate way to their respective posting place...Hopefully, they all kena posting dekat-dekat Sabah juga as personally I think being away too long from your 'beloved' ones is really frustrating and tempting at the same time...Huhuhu.

Other close friends who also joined in the gathering were Agang (nickname ni) and Kiong (ngam ka ni ejaan ni?) who drove down from Ranau to KK on that day and the last person to came quite late that night was Stanly with his bakuteh sup especially tapau from Foh Sang. Not forgetting, our 'new' friend (sorry I cannot recall his name) whom I got to know that day, Alveen's colleague which also happened to be Edmund's long lost friend during university days last time. What a small world!...Kecik ja ni Sabah rupanya.

The ladies present were Alveen's wife ,Agang's fiance and Ray's girlfriend. Me?...I prefer lone ranger for this kind of occasion...Hahaha. Alcohol consumed were tapai Tambunan ( unfortunately, only mensiop for awhile as somehow it became ahanau sudah after several rounds, salah atur la punya pasal ni mangkali..:( ) 1 botol of Chivas and 1 botol of Swing (compliments from our 'new' friend). Aramai tie session started as early as 3.00pm and lasted until about 10.00pm because no more drinks...macam air ja ba tu kalau haus...Well, have to stop anyway as some of us still have to drive back to KK. The rest slept at the house before going back to Ranau the next morning. Below just a few candid snap shots (taken by my friends) of us having fun that day.

Kiong, Edmund & Alveen-3 dewa in action

The ladies yang always setia menanti

Ray & Girlfriend-Yearghhh... Ancol punya ini.... Hahaha

Alveen & Wife - Expecting their 1st child soon.
Knock-knock, who's your daddy?

Agang trying to look cool while Stanly
always with his happy smile

Me & Agang...Mau ngantuk or 'kick' sudah ni?...

Alveen & our 'new' friend- Empty bottle for the winner
& a good sleep for the loser ....0-0
As always either one of these 3 guys musti kena 'rogol' &
that day it's Agang's turn...Hahaha

One of Kiong's body tattoos... do you see the resemblance?

A big big thanks to both Alveen and his wife for having us there and being so sporting in organizing the gathering at their house. Next gathering will be on the 20th before the Christmas Celebration at the same place and this time around we're expecting more friends to join in the fun with more drinks (tuan rumah sponsor 2 botol chivas) and more happenings. Balakang rumah belum rasmi BBQ lagi tu, so that will be the best time for it... :)

Architecture Makes Me BALD!

It's December , the last month of this year and this entry is about self portrait as remembrance of myself in year 2008. I've been in this architecture profession for almost 8 years already now and beside the ups and downs over the years, I'm glad to say that my career has been constantly improving and evolving. But all that time spent or wasted is not without any sacrifices and in this particular case, it's more like a side effect on my head. All the pressures, stress and headaches that I've endured all these times have finally taken its toll on my head. Architecture makes me bald!!!... and this self portrait is taken the day after I've went to the barber shop to get the usual no.3 haircut. There were times when I even tried the no.2 in the past but later stick to no.3 only after a funny experience when I was mistakenly thought as some guy looking for 'amoi' in segama (or was it sinsuran?) area when I was actually looking for a shop around the 1st floor area there... silaka ... Do I looked like a sex maniac ka ni?...hahaha. Being me, not wanting to waste money on those lengthy and expensive hair treatments , it's the only solution as I'm gradually losing my front hair...huhuhu... so I have to do something or else I'll become like 'apek' before I reach 50 years old...hahaha. By now, I'm used to it already after 3 years with this 'botak' look (I'm getting more 'botak' after each passing years) and being 'botak' does have its own advantages. No more hairstyle/ haircut nightmares and no need to buy those expensive hair gels and shampoo anymore (lap ja pakai air for the wet look) In short, Bald head is hassle free, low maintenance and always in trend ... :)

Becoming a Wedding Photographer?

Me...Becoming a Wedding Photographer?.. I just laughed at the idea of it when my friend ( owner of the BROTHERHOOD) asked me to take pictures during his sister's wedding day a couple of weeks ago and I quickly declined his offer saying that I've just recently bought my DSLR camera and I'm way-way far from ready for that kind of photography yet ( baru balajar ba ni). Anyway, My friend, Steve was free to help out and he's the camera cum video man during the wedding day on 29-11-2008 recently. It was on Saturday and since I left home quite late, I drove straight from KK to the SIB Pekan Ranau Church where the wedding ceremony was being held. It was almost to end of the ceremony already when I arrived there and I only managed to take some shots while the newly wed couple made their way out of the church and returned to the bride's house at Kg. Marakau for the wedding reception. I've taken many wedding pictures with my compact camera in past but somehow I still felt like nervous a bit while taking pictures with my DSLR camera. Anyway, I just hantam saja so here's a few snap shots during the wedding day for sharing here.




On that day, I've just realized that my friend, Steve actually making some good side income from doing this part time job as a wedding photographer and he just started serious photography not too long ago. Just so happened, I was chit chatting with him when this person approached us and asking him about his service for his coming wedding day. I overheard my friend saying that his service is around RM500 like that (photos including video) and bla,bla,bla as he went on with the details of his service to the guy. Whoaa... that's really lucrative for someone who just started doing this business and looks like a pro already while explaining about his service. Unfortunately, the timing was not right as the guy's wedding date clashed with my friend's next job. So, again my friend recommended me and same thing,.. I declined also..hahaha.

The BROTHERHOOD

This is the place I normally lepak whenever I'm in Ranau and it's called 'BROTHERHOOD'. Belongs to a close friend of mine, there is the place of meeting for most of us (close friends) whenever we have activities going on. Maybe it's just another cyber or games station for most of the kids there but for us the place holds some good and bad experiences in the past.

Special thing about this particular shop is that it's shared among friends with the other half of the shop lot (at the back) is a fish shop belongs to another friend who actually started the business there. It started as a design and printing shop under the name 'Evo Design'. Unfortunately, it didn't last long after some bad experience in 'friends' partnership and eventually it turned into a cyber cum games station as it is now. After all the experiences that I have personally gone through with the shop, I think the new name really suits the place and for what we all have in common as for whatever happened in the past, we all still gathered there. Even more meaningful, it's a tribute from someone to his younger brother who passed away in a car accident not so long ago. That's the brotherhood feeling that's in everyone of us- brothers and friends forever.

So if you are happened to be in Ranau, round-round la to this cyber station, it's a good place to hang out.

Sunset at Tanjung Aru Beach

These are my first few sunset shots taken with my DSLR camera at Tanjung Aru Beach during one fine evening. I like it so much that I used it as my computer's wallpaper now. I think i'll be going there more often now sambil-sambil enjoying the ABC or chicken wings at the nearby stalls. Sadap ba bos!!..

Nabalu Handicraft

Wooden Geckos

Wind Chimes

Nabalu Little Blue Stalls

Yesterday, I finally balik kampung to my hometown, Ranau after previously having to cancel my trip twice due to my work commitment here in KK. I was planning to go back on Friday night after work but changed my mind because of the heavy rain. So I made my journey back early in the morning while the rain was still drizzling out side. Along my journey, I stopped at Pekan Nabalu to take a break and just walked around the area for some fresh mountain air. Unless I need to go to the toilet or buy something to eat, I rarely stopped during my trip as I really hate to chase back all the cars I've left behind (especially if there are lorries along the way) but this time since I was not in a hurry, so I just take my sweet time and went up the viewing tower to check the views from above. The morning breeze really feels soothing and refreshing when you're up there actually. Since I brought my camera, so I took some pictures of the newly constructed blue colored stalls from the top of the viewing tower. Noticed it from afar so that's partly the reason why I stopped to check it out. There's a bigger structure being constructed in between the stalls actually and it looked something like a big market or maybe a big hall. Will take picture of it maybe on my next trip back home. What strucked me at that time is the construction of these new stalls and possible a new market place that would really means a lot to the people of Pekan Nabalu for them to sell their agriculture and handy craft products to earn their living. I remembered in the past, there were only a few stalls being constructed by the villagers themselves and seeing from the signage being posted on each of the new stalls, most likely this new project are being implemented by the local council to further develop the area into a tourist attraction. Good for the people of Pekan Nabalu.

New Toy - Canon EOS 1000D

After my recent 'big' purchase, this post has been long overdue, so here goes,...

Being in a design profession, I think it's only obvious that one day I would eventually venture into this new 'serious' hobby- photography.Why I said 'serious' ? Because one have to make 'serious money commitment' to go far in this hobby (boleh bikin deposit beli kereta satu la or...:) ). So, after months of consideration (including window shopping balik2 depan kadai kamera..sampai itu tauke pun malas suda mau layan... :( ) and when coincidentally I got my big bonus earlier this year , I just go for it and bought my 1st DSLR camera ever ( I only have my cheap yet realiable sony dsc-s650 compact camera to carry around before... :( ) and it's the Canon EOS 1000D with the 18-55mm IS kit lense..Still considered cheap though in DSLR realm since it's an entry level DSLR camera but for amateur like me (budak baru belajar ba ni), I think should be sufficient enough for me. (for nowla...:))

Initially wanted to go for the Nikon D60, but finally I settled with Canon instead. Why? It's mainly because of lenses compatibility and range that Canon has over Nikon and maybe 'poisoned' by my Canon 400D friend also on that day...silaka & thank you to my friend Steve... :) . Do you know that entry level Nikon D series DSLR camera like D40, D40x up until DSLR 60 can only auto focus with AF-S and AF-I lenses? Whereas the previous and now obselete entry level Canon 400D (being replaced with 1000D already) and its bigger brother 450D can auto focus both with Canon EF (old) and EF-S (latest) lenses and its cheap EF 50mm/f 1.8 II prime lense that really got me there. I bought mine at a recommended shop in KK Plaza for around RM2k with some freebies- canon bag, LCD screen protector, tripod, 4G SD memory card, UV lense filter and 1 year free website registration from ximplify.com (Tried to get free umbrella also but no more stock... :( ). I'm not going into all the technical mambo jumbo about this camera here as you can find plenty of them at this all round review here. So fell free to check them out if you're interested in this camera as well.

Buying this camera has been one of my biggest investment (apart from my geek custom white Sxi Myvi), but unlike car which decays on you over time, you eventually improved your skills in photography (kalau rajin balajar la ni kan) and I'm looking forward into taking and producing great pictures with this camera. So, macamana,..tempted to buy one? Here's a few pointers from an amateur (if you don't mind) if you're thinking or planning to get one soon:

1. Budget - Set a budget for yourself on how much you are willing to spent and maybe a little bit of extra allowance for the critical decision. Unless you're sure of your choice then it's an easy decision but like me, I was torn between Nikon and Canon when I actually tested the two cameras. Biasakla sakai jugala once you try the real things all at once, unless you already familiar with the cameras (pinjam, try, cuba, test la ni dari kawan-kawan lain) then again it's a different situation. At most you would be tempted to buy one with a higher specs and this is where the extra allowance is handy. Then again, it's a matter between buying a slightly higher specs DSLR camera or put the extra money into your budget for better lenses. It's very confusing and tempting at the same time kan?... :). Luckily I've done my homework on all the available entry-level DSLR cameras that within my budget, so I've kinda know the pros and cons of these cameras. So, I made peace with myself with its available features (plus after asking my friends several times..hehehe) and then decided to go with Canon with the reassurance that I've stick to my initial budget and I can invest the extra money on better lenses.. (or perhaps buy a video camera?..mmm)

2. Brand - When buying things.. inda kirala apa-apa saja.. most people would looked into the brand 1st and Im also the same..because good or famous brand normally has the best quality and so on..but for some it's define your status la kenen... poor people can only afford buy cheap stuffs whereas rich people buy expensive stuffs only something like that la...I'm not into these kind of things though I wished I have all the money in the world to spent on all the best things out there...hahaha...and in photography no exception, that is brand dominance. That's why you have hardcore Canon and Nikon fans out there in a never-ending war over who's the best camera manufacturer in the world?.. Anyway, a wise advice I gathered from my own research is that it's always good to stick to the these two top leaders in the world of photography due to their vast experience and good track record in producing good cameras over the years. Depending on your needs and preference, buying into any of these two brands won't be a disappointment. I guess, I'm officially a canonian now...so any nikon user wanna argue?..joking only... :).

3. Features & Future Expansion - Choosing which DSLR camera to buy is like buying into a system. So make sure that whatever camera that you buy now has all the features that you want and most importantly would allow you to expand in the future. Expansion here would mean your choice of future additional lenses that you would eventually going to buy when the kit lense is no more able to fulfill your creative urges... :). Seriously, photography can become very addictive and actually I've recently bought two more lenses after I've bought my camera just 3 weeks ago. (will talk about it in my next post). This is equally important as it can saves you a lot of money in your future expansion plan. For a start I'm going with Canon, but if my budget permits or my passion rule over my judgement later on, I might switch to D80/D90 as people say Nikon camera/lense is sharper than Canon's...betul ka ni?.

I think that's it for this entry or else I may sounded like a pro pula banyak-banyak kasi tips sini...Till then chiaoo...

Sandakan Airport Feature Wall 2

The coloured glass panel

Seen here from outside (mmm..interesting roof construction also)

Aluminium louvres next to it

I flew to Sandakan again recently and this time I didn't forget to take more pictures of the feature glass wall (with my new canon eos1000D). Upon further inspection, the feature glass wall is actually consist of two layers of coloured glass panels, inside and outside with a gap in between. Interestingly, I noticed that inside the gap, a concrete wall is constructed at 30-60 degree angle to the outside glass panel. Maybe this is to avoid the sunlight from entering direct through the glass panel. The natural light being reflected inside, thus creating something like a 'warm' lighting effect seen from inside the airport.

Feature Wall # 1: Sandakan International Airport

View from the mezzanine floor

Close Up View

Took these pictures of the feature glass wall at Sandakan International Airport while I was on a project meeting there early this month. It reminds me of the stained glass pattern normally found in church buildings and with the lobby area being double volume, the feeling also more or else the same. Maybe because of tired, somehow I didn't check the wall in detail. I'll take more close up pictures and will post them here when I go there again soon.

Ceiling Design # 1 : Berjaya Times Square KL

Continuing on my post on my recent my trip to KL, I was 'jalan-jalan' at Berjaya Times Square Kuala Lumpur at night with my brother and found these interesting ceiling designs :

OVAL ROUND

One of the most commonly found ceiling design that you can find around in any big complexes nowadays. Typical round cove lighting treatment on the columns top as well and it fits perfectly with the round shape columns. This one reminds me of the UFO space ship sometimes or simply a big glowing egg. Next to it is something like a 'steps' ceiling design.

STARS

Found this one while I was at the lobby area at lower ground floor level. It's located just above the ATM machines booth ( notice the maybank signage at the bottom there). Really liked this one due to its intricate layering and the lighting effects it created. Fantastic!!

STRIPES

I think I saw this one just near the place where I found the oval round ceiling. Would have been great if its lighting were working as well as the effects would have been interesting to see. As it is, it looked pale but I like its dynamic pattern.

In case you are wondering, all these ceiling are made using fibre plastered ceiling board. It's a flexible material, easy to cut and modify to any kind of shape or design that you want. Good reference.

Architectural Model #1 : Club House

Club House

Took this picture while I was on trip to Kuala Lumpur recently. We were visiting a newly launched residential project show office in Damansara Utama and while looking around, I snapped a picture of the club house model before I was stopped by one of the staff. Later my friend said normally picture snapping is not allowed in such places. Unfortunately so, as the residential house models were also very well made with interesting design features that's worth looking at for design reference in future project.
