Diary Of Aidilfitri 2009 | 1430h
Salam and hello everyone. As I have promised in my previous post before, here are some of the shots taken during last Aidilfitri. I’m sorry if you think the pictures posted in this post are a bit small. Well, I tried to minimize the number of pictures by combining it all in several groups of pictures. And the result is as what you can see below. Hopefully, you’ll enjoy this series of pictures.
Well, I think I don’t have to write much here, the pictures here are enough to do the talking. Hopefully you’ll understand what I’m trying to say through these series of pictures. Haha! 
Fake Miniature/Tilt-Shift Lens Effect: First Experimental Attempt
Salam and hello everyone. Since I have not posted any photo related entry after my last photo entries about Formula 1 Grand Prix last time, hence for this time I want to share with you my first experimental attempt on fake miniature as known as tilt-shift lens effect. The different between fake or original tilt-shift lens effect is just the original tilt-shift lens effect picture is taking using tilt-shift lens which I think, quite costly and the fake one is otherwise. In addition, I don’t have any DSLR yet, so of course I never think to get one of those lens. Anyway, miniature effect or tilt-shift lens effect also can be produced by applying some editing on suitable photos using any photo editing software like Adobe Photoshop or Photoscape and this is what we call fake miniature or tilt-shift lens effect. Since this is my experimental attempt, I didn’t use Adobe Photoshop for editing process, all editing for these fake miniature or tilt-shift lens effect have done using Photoscape and the result quite impress me. What do you think?
By the way, what’s actually miniature/tilt-shift lens effect? I quote here some definition from Wikipedia.
Tilt-shift miniature faking is a process in which a photograph of a life-size location or object is manipulated so that it looks like a photograph of a miniature scale model.
Actually, in Photoscape there are a lot of effects and photos filters that you can apply to your pictures to produce fake miniature effect. You may explore a bit Photoscape and you may find how great this free editing software. So, here there are, my first experimental attempt on fake miniature or tilt-shift lens effect. Enjoy the pictures then.

Photos of Petronas Malaysian Formula 1 Grand Prix 2009 at Sepang International Circuit, Malaysia – Part 1
Salam and hello all. As I have promised before in my previous entry, I’ll share some of pictures that I have taken during Petronas Malaysian Formula 1 Grand Prix 2009 that was held at Sepang International Circuit last weekend. As I said in my previous entry, I went there with one of my housemate and another two friends of my housemate but we had separated during the traffic congestion on the way to SIC. So, me and my friend is one group and another two is one group. However, all of us have bought same section of ticket which is at Hillstand C2 but due to so many people there, we can’t find each other.
Stop till there, even though we only had to pay for a very low price of Formula 1 ticket but for parking, we didn’t get any discount. Hohoho, without any exception, we have to pay another RM50 for the parking which for me, I could say, it was not a proper parking and it wasn’t worth to pay RM50 for this kind of parking. Quite ridiculous price for me. Last time, when we went to SIC for Moto GP, we only have to pay RM5 for the parking but for Formula 1, it was 10 times higher! 
But, whatever it is, we have to pay for it finally since, if we didn’t pay, we have to park outside SIC and have to walk more than 1km to SIC. Who wants to do this under the hot sun?! What makes this ticket quite not worth for us is because the parking we have paid is valid for 2 days, which are qualifying and race day. But, we only come during the race day and do you think we should get half price of the parking fee? RM25 instead of RM50? LOL..
I think I have gone to far from the purpose of this entry. Ok, I won’t talk much, here we go. These are the pictures that I have taken during the event. Please proceed your reading and be patient while waiting the pictures to be loaded completely since there are a lot of pictures inside. Enjoy the pictures ya.
Petronas Malaysian Formula 1 Grand Prix (3-5 April 2009) – The Result
Salam and hello all. I know this is quite a late entry but anyway, I want to write a little bit about it because I went to this event, I mean ya, I went to Sepang International Circuit on 5 April 2009 to watch this Petronas Malaysian Formula 1 Grand Prix. Even though the ticket that I have bought is valid for two days which are qualifying and race day, but since one of my housemate who also the one who should accompany me to this event had his last exam paper on Saturday, so I decided to go on Sunday.
My housemate and I have bought the ticket for the Hillstand C2 at student rate. Hoho, the best thing to be a student is you’ll get a lower price of ticket up to 75% off! Isn’t it great? Haha.
Without further ado, for those who yet know about the result, I’ll tell about it now. I’m expecting some of you might not care about it, but whatever it is, here is the result.
1. Jenson Button (Brawn-Mercedes)
2. Nick Heidfeld (BMW Sauber)
3. Timo Glock (Toyota)
4. Jarno Trulli (Toyota)
5. Rubens Barrichello (Brawn-Mercedes)
6. Mark Webber (RBR-Renault)
7. Lewis Hamilton (McLaren Mercedes)
8. Nico Rosberg (Williams-Toyota)

If you watch the race last Sunday on television or you watch it lives at SIC, I guess you should know already what actually happened. I know the result was quite controversial since the race was completed only with 33 laps, but I think the decision that has been taken was the best since the rain was quite heavy on that day plus the race has started late, about 5pm and the race has stopped due to safety issue at 6pm and it was impossible for the race to be continued after the rain has stopped about 6.45pm. During that time, it was already dark at SIC. Moreover, SIC is not ready for night race like in Singapore.
One of my friends said that, I should claim back half of my money that I have paid for the ticket since the race was not completed completely, but I don’t think it is a big deal since it was an interesting race and I enjoy it. If you are the one who paid for the ticket, do you really think that you should claim back your money? Haha. Give me your opinion then.
I’ll stop here for now. Wait for my next entry for more photos during the race of Petronas Malaysian Formula 1 Grand Prix and at the SIC. I’ll post more pictures in the next entry. So, stay tuned ya! Till next entry, bye!
