Here at home I’ve the chance to get fast internet, with this i would like to compile the previous Petronas Chinese New Year Ads. FYI, Petronas has been known for it commercial which holds a deep message. Some might say they are using the people's money to make this and some say it's a waste. But my verdict still stand! They did an awesome job!!
Here you go form 2005 to 2009 of Petronas' Chinese New Year Commercial
Last Saturday, Lye Kong, Jason Tay, Siew Siew , Tze Teng and me went down to Penang Island to do two things. The first is to support Lye Kong and Jason Tay in representing Jaya in SUKAT. While the other is to go purcase the Canon Speedlite 580 EX 2 for Tze Teng’s system!
We head out around 7am and we were at the USM main campus’ swimming pool around 8am.. We took some picture here and there!! We had some photography fun then..
The teeth belong to Siew Siew!!
After that we hed out to Komtar area to hunt for the 580ex2. After a long scout, we manage to find the flash system at Foto EasyCam beside Click N’ Snap. We had a good chat with the uncle and aunty there and I’ve learn a few trick or so!
After we got the flash, there was no hesitation is using it! Tze Teng was playing with it even as we took our late lunch. After that we went to Gurny to try out some ETTL system stuff!! The result was, it rocks!!
First try out with the High Flash Sync function
First try with the ETTL function and High speed sync to pull out the back ground but yet allow enough light for the subject using a slave flash. Master flash did not fire..
Nicer tone and shadow!
Still Learning..

On the following day, me and Tze Teng took the afternoon to try out this new dimension of flash photography! The picture that we got was not as good as those of the lighting expert such as Louis Pang and others… Most of the picture was taken by Tze Teng and I was the slave man!! Hahah… But it is a good start I guess! A Master and a frind, Tze Teng in action!!
After much trial and error.. Thank God for those hardships.. Now we Bring you this.. Hear are some basic step to set up this flash photography..
Get the metering of the back ground. My exposure compensation setting is -1 here (using M mode). to get more dramatic effects of the back ground just tone down to -2. Varies to the lighting.
Put in the subject into the picture (without the slave flash firing). subject will be dark.
Now, with the Slave flash fired! note that the master did not fire. see the different??
Too close to the flash.. Cause over expose on the subject.
Pull back the subject to get a balance lighting..
Playing with shadows..
So hope this helps you guys who is learning out there. Thank God for all his wisdom and also Little Potato for letting me spend time on this.. Thank you dear! Hug hug..

2.0 means the second day we were in Singapore for our family vacation. Well we went to Sentosa Island where the Singapore government have turned it into a vacation sweet spot! It holds both historical and modern treasure for all waiting to be discovered!
First stop we visited Fort Siloso. It is a remain from the British era. It was place at the bank of the Singapore straight. In old times, it was a strategic point for traders as it is a good geographical position where ships are protected from storms. This port become busier as the Sues Cannel was open.
This fort was the place of two major agreements took place during the Second World War. First is the surrender of the British to the Japanese and the second is the surrender of the Japanese to the Allied.
Then we went to the 4D theater, the only one in South East Asia

Then we went to the beach and went to the supposedly the edge of the continent of Asia! We soon catch the Song Of The Sea! A water fountain show! One word for it.. It’s Massive!!
