Camera Skill Part 2

Push! Push harder! Hong Yi, you are not pushing hard enough!

Help me grab that bottle of wine please. Looks good!

Camera Skill Part 1

The skill is shooting a shot with multiple people (including kids) jumping in the air is not easy. It requires patient, team effort and definitely the skills of the cameraman, which in this case is myself.

Wow! Look at the height!

The search for long lost memorise

I once tasted a medium range Pinot Noir from Adelaide Hills. It was intense, it was balanced, it has length, it has flavored, it has great memories that i long for another experience.

7 years have past. I can recall the sensation but could not relive again. Is it me or is it the fact that i could Not find the Exact same wine? Even wines 3 times its value could not give the same feeling.

The trip to Adelaide Hills thus far have yet to resolve this agony. I will continue the search till the end of days.

Wines and love. The same.

P.S. Shaw and Smith 2009 Pinot Noir (A$60) is really good. Not quite relive my memories but does create a new impression.

Last Day

Count down to the final moment. Never imagine I will do the same despite witnessing others having the same experience. Many rebound strongly in their new adventure. Although my next journey may not be what I anticipate, I figure it couldn’t be any worse than the situation I had been in the past three years.

Come and go

The number of employees who have joined and leave the company within the last three years are crazy. Just to name a few- Chinese- Hong Chen, Chia Nee, Carolyn, Jessy, Janice, Sanny, Lim, Annie, Ben, Michelle and Jia Yie. Finance- Rini, Azian, Bukhari, Saibah, Fatin, Hanim.

Anyhow the list will continue to grow and very soon i will be one of them.

General Election 14 Part II

Further to previous post, final results are: BN 79 PH 122 PAS 18 Others 3. Never been so happy that I was wrong. Very wrong indeed.

General Election 14

GE14 is around the corner. It’s time to make a forecast now and will revisit when results are out. My forecast (although not what I hope for) is BN 122, PH 85 and PAS 15. BN majority will reduce (and lost 4 states along the way) but main opposition force will also reduce.
