Departure of Lap Lap family

IMG_8145

Today is the departure date for lap lap family; as far as I can remembered, I have knew Lap Lap family for almost 10 years or more. All the family members from the dad (Ray), wife (Eva), Joshua, Joel and Hannah have impacted my life one way or another.

They are a family gifted with musical talents, hospitability, creativity and more importantly a heart for peoples and a heart for Him. I have in my life received critics, advise and encouragement from this family; and working with their kids when their are as young as form 1/2 in music ministry, and they have been in the band ever since the time I started the youth team. It is really sad to see them leaves, but knowing that it is for the greater goods for the family that we are happy to send them with a blessing. Since we all know and believe that such separation is only temporary for we will for sure meet each other again one way or others.

IMG_8175-EditAt the airport, it was flooded with a big group of peoples ready to send them off, I always believe that number of peoples whom come to send you off will always speak about how much you have impacted the life of others (not unless your flight is at odd hour where peoples can’t make it lah) :p

To lap lap family, thanks you so much for treating me as part of your family through out this time, teaching me so much and being an example as how a family can be and a testimony not just for me, but also to Lily also. Thanks you, God bless you all and paalam!!! Sana magkikita tayo muli! ^w^

Youth Movie outing @ Mall Cineplex watching Toys Story 3

IMG_7388 Thanks to Joshua for organising the outing to watch Toys Story 3; even thought it is a bit rush for some of us since we are watching the 5:30pm show. Well for only $4 per person, a movie before 6pm is still  one of the activity I will love to go. 

So, how’s Toys Story 3? Absolutely incredible! Can’t really remember how’s the part I and part II so can’t really compare with it. But if you enjoy part I & part II, there is absolute no excuse for missing part III, must watch!!! I am happy to give 9.5/10

For movie review, I pretty sure you can find a good review online or I know someone will gonna write one >W<

IMG_7377

IMG_7379This mind be the last ever movie outing with the Lap Lap, but I pretty sure one way or the others we will able to meet again for some more awesome time.

Farewell dinner for Lap Lap family

IMG_7339

Last night, we have a fare well dinner at Mary place for our beloved Lap Lap family. Since they will be migrant to Canada and starting a new chapter in their life, and they will be leaving next week. So we have to take any opportunity to  able to spend time with them. More importantly to acknowledge how much lap lap family have contribute and impact our life in one ways or the others.IMG_6898

So for the nights, various people gather together no just for makan, but also to present something for the Lap Lap family. Quit a few songs was presented, while the singer may not qualify to enter American Next Idol final, but creative / hidden talents was manifested for such a time like this. 

IMG_7330

Last time, we used to have a group called MTV (Muara Television) that was leaded by Ray & Eva, the core duty for such group is gather a group of peoples to present items for various events; and I must said they did pretty well. Since MTV is disbanding due to the departure of Lap Lap family, a new group called APTA (All Philippine Talents Association) + import has raise to take the challenge. They literately make the audiences Roll On the Floor Laughing while also make us drop plenty of tears!!! Just can’t imagine how much tissue papers we have used last nights.IMG_7271

Go to my facebooks for more photo, i actually miss count the amount of photo that I can put under one album, so u will need to visit 2 album instead of one. Anyway

姨妈 (Aunty) 71st Birthday Celebration Dinner

IMG_6641 Right after we are done with our checking out, and on the ways to do our various stuffs with my mum. She actually told me that we will be celebrating 姨妈 birthday, and they are adding us into the dinner celebration.

Just a bit of background of her, she is my mum cousin on the ladies side, and they have been very close even at the young age. When I was born, she actually took care of me in Miri, while my mum is in Brunei. If I not mistaken, “long pa” was my kids name when I was there. So when I heard about it, I know I am obligate to go and I don’t mind going also, and I also decided to take this chances to take more photograph.

IMG_6633 IMG_6673

They booked 5 table in one of the restaurant which consisted only the direct family members, in law, grandchildren and 1 table of friends, so it was a pretty challenging night for my ha ka direct speaking, though i got no problems in listening.  >w<

Interestingly, on the same restaurant, there is another wedding functions going on the same flood and another birthday celebration going on another floor. It actually show how popular is this place.

Oh ya, regarding the foods. It is freaky nice!!! And for one, no rice on the manual!!! I wouldn’t mind to go there again just for the foods.

I want to thanks my cousin for letting us join in the dinner (though I know my nieces was pretty bore, which is totally understandable) for wishing 姨妈 for long life and more years to come ^w^

Since I already give them a copy of the photo’s, I do hope they like the photo that been taken.

Miri Trip Part III

When it come to photography, one of my favourite is candid shoot. It is always those spontaneous moments that peoples are strip off their self defense against the camera and being true to the situation around them (I’m not saying peoples always fake infront of camera!!!) And it also one of those moment that you get it see some kind of faces that you don’t usually see.

IMG_6558

IMG_6560 IMG_6569 It is especially nice to candid the family moments, I think it is one of the essences that video cannot capture. While video can capture the whole things / story but sometimes photo just leave so much for you to imagine the story.

This one was totally unplanned, I didn’t even realized that I left my off camera flash there while testing the shoot, but what I like about is how the light spread. It actually some new ideas with regarding using light, so it is a worthy mistake >w<

IMG_6603

So is this all for my miri trip? Nah, I actually got a totally un plan event that await me without me knowing it!!! So stay tune ~~~~

But at the mean time, feel free to check out my FB for the rest of the pictures

Miri Trip Part II

After the 6 hour quite time with my pillow, and it is time for breakfast!!! And well, this is always some that just can’t live without their PSP? >w<

IMG_6051

And what’s after breakfast? Morning high tea!!IMG_6100

IMG_6190

The result of this photo wasn’t done by any photo technique, it is plainly just because my front lens was cover with moist due to the temperature change from room to outdoor. But can you do the samething with photoshop? Of coz u can :)

IMG_6260 A swimming pool monster has show up in Park City hotel!!!IMG_6355 And the biggest, meanest mask rider is coming to the swimming pool to save the day!!!

IMG_5933

Then we went to Starbucks @ Bintang Plaza(Thanks to James for being a driver), and we saw quite a huge crowds gathering in front of coffee bean to watch the World Cup 2010 live on a big screen.

IMG_6007 I actually wanted to order a Dark Mocha Frappucino, too bad there didn’t have it. Right after starbucks we gather together near the beach, and I show some of them what it mean by light painting. And they are pretty excited once they saw the first example.

IMG_6026 And here are some of the stuffs done by them

Of coz a group shoot after all those tried out. Was fooling around with my wireless trigger and flash through an umbrella. For some interesting weird reasons, they are some spill light that caught on left side. Wondering how it happen, and I quite like the effects.

My heart ache

Everytime I saw a nice luxurious / sport car got into accident and got hit really hard, my heart will ache for the poor car. I’m not necessary saying that it is the driver fault (it maybe the case but not always), but then the car will not longer be able to run on the road with its original purpose instead it will be throw into garage or whatever it is and no longer useable.

Just like today, after I done with with my clients and on the way to the next one, I spotted this poor Lamborghini in such a bad state, I just can’t resist and took some photo of it.

IMG_5885IMG_5887 IMG_5886

As you can see, it is almost unrepairable, while this belong to some unknown freaky rich peoples. I do want to believe that the owner felt hurt (not physically) for his/her ride being damaged. If the owner don’t, then I really felt sad for the car.

While I don’t think I will be ever able to (or want to) own a Lamborghini or Ferrari, but I do wish that I got a chance to test drive it even just once.
