2nd Putrajaya International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta 2010: 18-21 March 2010
Salam and hello everyone. If you still don’t have any plan for next week’s weekend, ya next week, not this week. I mean not today. 
Let me suggest you to one of the events you should consider to go next week’s weekend. Here it is, as stated in the title, the 2nd Putrajaya International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta 2010 is back! Like last year, this year hot air balloon fiesta event will bring 19 hot air balloon participants from all over the globe such as France, New Zealand, Belgium, Netherlands and of course Malaysia too.
For details about the program’s itinerary, please proceed here for details. This event will run for 4 days, I’m not sure which day you should go. If you can come everyday from 18 to 21 March 2010, it would be really great, but anyway, if you ask me which day would be great to go, I will suggest you to go on Saturday (20 March 2010). If you look at itinerary, the schedule for each day is the same, maybe one or two might be different. However, on night of 20 March 2010, there is fireworks show which I think would be great for you if you want to photograph any pictures or you are fireworks’ fans. 
Ok, since this event is called hot air balloon fiesta, of course some of you would like to take a ride on any of these hot air balloons, right? Speaking of that matter, you will have the opportunity to ride on it, but you must be ready to pay a few ringgit for the ticket and ready to wait in front of the ticket counter as early as 6.30am to get the ticket. That’s what you have to do if you want to take a ride during morning flight. For evening flight, I’m not sure. If you read my last year entry of this hot air balloon fiesta, you’ll know that the tickets were sold out as early as 7.00am and it were limited to 70 tickets per day only. If the organizer has increased the amount of the tickets for this year hot air balloon fiesta, it would be really great.
Anyway, you can have a look at 1st Putrajaya International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta 2009 photos that I have taken last time, hopefully it would attract you to come to this year hot air ballon fiesta. So, are you going?
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.
