Melaka Holiday 2011

Isnin hingga Rabu yang lepas saya telah ke Melaka. Sebenarnya itu percutian yang tidak dirancang. Maklumlah, disebabkan komitmen projek yang baru saja selesai bulan August yang lepas barulah saya dapat mengambil cuti. Bagaimanapun bila saya mula mencari hotel untuk destinasi cuti bulan lepas semuanya sudah fully booked. Kemudian saya teringat sebuat Service Apartment iaitu Garden City Service Apartment di Bandar Hilir Melaka yang juga memberikan perkhidmatan penginapan hotel yang pernah saya menginap setahun yang lepas. Tak bertangguh saya cuba call dan nasib baik tarikh yang saya rancang tu masih ada kekosongan jadi terus saya tempah untuk 3 hari 2 malam. Melaka adalah antara destinasi percutian kegemaran saya, tak tahu kenapa. Berikut adalah antara gambar-gambar pemandangan yang sempat saya rakam sepanjang di sana.

Avillion Water Challet at Dusk

I went to Avillion Water Challet at Port Dickson last Saturday for a Teambuilding organised by my employer. Being on the west coast, I suppose that I could expect to see some nice sunset to capture. Unfortunately, the weather was not so good and the sky was all cloudy and hid the sun.

Well, I had just to settle with whatever on my sight.

Among my best peers

Friends. I tend to get sentimental when talk about friendship. Some of us have lots of friends and some others may really have lots lots of friend. But how many has a really good one?

I do. And apart from being peers at work, they are also my friends. A really good one.

Below are two captured moments during Team-Building event organized by my employer that I will nail forever in my heart as the most cherished everlasting memories I had with them in my life.

Project - Golden and Brown

I have been waiting for so long to transform one of my classic camera into something different. Actually I have two units of Olympus Pen EE3 which I have been thinking to change the look on one of it. And finally after much deliberation, I managed to transform its original look from this...

and TA-DA.. into this! Do you agree that it look magnificent and cute? It took me one whole day from disassembling the parts, paint the bottom and top panel with Gold paint and replace the black into brown leatherette and finally reassemble everything back into one piece. I feel aching all over my body but it's really great and worth the effort.

Twin brothers, one with new skin and the other with its original.

Apart from the cameras, I have also acquired quite a numbers of camera accessories like flashes, light meters and self-timers. And of course all of them are vintage as well.

The last two pictures below are the latest gems in my collection. Both are the Vintage Spy Mini Camera. You can see how tiny and cute they are when placed next to next to a normal size camera. Next to the camera you can also see the tiny little green thingy. That's the film the camera used actually. Soooo tiny and cute little thing right? I was so fortunate that I got 6 of them as it came together as a lot when I bought the Minetta. Those films are no longer available anywhere. So, of course I am not going to 'waste' them but only for display.
