14th Sep - My 29th birthday!

Hohoho... Its the 14th of Sep again. Well its my birthday today! This year is very special for me as my dear dear has planned a surprise for me!

Actually my dear dear has already mentioned in her blog about this surprise but she didnt expect me to read her blog before today. Hehe as a result, i came to know that she has something up her sleeve. But the thing is, she dun wan to tell me about it!

She turned up in front of my house this afternoon! Guess what she got in store for me??

These are the mini cakes she has made herself!

Beautiful arent they? Wow, makes me bu4 she2 de2 eat them leh! They are so colourful, with mini M &M topping with a thick lahish layer of dark choco on them! Beneath the choco is the delicious banana cake! SOunds really good right? Haha i will keep 5 for myself, the rest i will share with my family. Hehe

The most interesting part is there are a total of 9 mini cakes and they formed the words "HAPPY BDAY"! Oh boy, it is so thoughtful of my dear to do that! And she has woke up early on sat morning to buy the ingredients (bananas) and again woke up early this morning to start making the mini cakes! Dear dear you are the best!

I ate one just before my dinner! It tastes realllyyyy good!

My mama cooked my favourite dishes for me tonight.... chicken wings, potato with egg, fish, vegetable, cha siu and corn soup! WOw i ate till sooo full.

I had my birthday cake after dinner. It was a choco cake from Begawan solo. I chose the choco cake cos i think it will taste nice. Its quite good, just abit of creamy.

Usually every year, i will either spend with my friends or have a simple cake at home. This year is very special as my dear dear and mama have both cooked great stuff for me to eat! My dad and bro bought me the cake!

So happy!!!

Bird photography

Wow, it has been really quite a while since i last posted. Hehe. I am into a new type of photography recently! Guess what is it???

I never knew i will really go into this area of photography cos

• It requires a great amount of time to wake up early in the morning
  


• Under the sun for several hours



• Expensive lens to give you the highest quality images
  

ABle to guess what is it? Its BIRD photography!

For this kind of photography, you will need the following:

• A dslr (haha, needless to say) (one which has about 5fps should be suffice for most needs)



• A telephoto lens (get as long a focal length as you can afford) (300mm is a minimum)



• A flash extender (to be mounted to your flash light to extend the flash coverage distance)



• A sturdy tripod with a Wimberly head or sidekick (at such long focal length, any movement will result in camera shake and blurry images) (Wimberly head / sidekick is for panning and tilting)



• Lots of memory cards! (believe me, there is only 1 chance to get that perfect shot, keep shooting!)
  
  

Here are some of the shots. Enjoy!
