Bokeh?!

          What is Bokeh? In photography, bokeh is the blur, or the aesthetic quality of the blur, in out-of-focus areas of an image, or "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light. The term comes from the Japanese word boke, which means "blur" or "haze", or boke-aji , the "blur quality". The Japanese term boke is also used in the sense of a mental haze or senility. Blah blah blah...to be frankly, these all are from wiki, so for more information, please go there for more exact info. 

          I saw some of the pictures which the lights effect with different kinds of shape and patterns, but i have no idea how they do that. The way of the blurriness into different shapes! But guess what, I learned it from the website which I saw the way on how to make your own bokeh effect and now I have my own love shape bokeh filter. 

          This is my first time did this so still need to practice more. The shapes we need to cut it at the center and the shape should be as small as possible for a better effect. The first cut was failed because the shape wasn't at the center so the effect didn't come out. So I did the second one and tried. The effects was nice. Not as nice as the pro one because you need to catch the lights like lamps, bulbs, candles, LEDs, those kinds of small light point. And you have to keep a certain distance to catch the images. Hmm...for better effect, use 50mm f1.8, f1.4...Nah... Just play with it!   

So many patterns to play with but its not easy to cut...

These are what I've got, love shape light effect. 

But if you want to try, you should cut the shape smoothly 

so it won't looks so rough like mine...

          

White,Yellow,Red and Blue

                                        I attended a performances called ‘Buatan Malaysia 2’ presented by Young Choral Academy at The Actor Studio @Lot 10. It performed by The MIA Ladies Chorus, The Young KL Singers and The YCA Youth Chamber Choir.  Some of my college music course’s friends join the performances so I went there to support.

          Just like the name said, Buatan Malaysia, it’s all the music that consists of Malaysian song/poem, traditional music and composed by the famous Malaysia people like P.Ramlee. Traditional songs but they modified it and become a little contemporary and playful. I like it. To be frankly, Malaysian traditional music is really not that bad. We should support and reserve it. It’s our ancestor’s creation and we should proud of it. The performances are so not enough for me! I want more. Ha…It was really great!

          Like last times, I’m touched by the music and the voices. Goosebumps were everywhere. It’s come when every time I’m listening to choirs or many people singing together. So nice to see them singing as one. Mia Ladies Chorus really awesome and they deserve the World Champion in the Female Chamber Category. Proud of them. So gonna miss them after graduation. They always laugh and crazy around. Miss the time we crazy around at Genting Highland.

The stage in the Actors Studio, not bad huh?

Colors of the Malaysia's flag!

There's the pretty girls, Miss Vanessa, YiLing and YuXin.

忽然想爱，怎么办？

    Again, just my lovely cousin Miss Joe and me. For me, it's all of the sudden. When I'm decided to sit still at my workplace to continue my works after long time convincing myself. But a message from her destroyed my plan. Joe: Poco Homemade? And me: SURE! Did I forget something? Na...play first! 

Poco Homemade, if it is your first time go there, you really have to do some research how to get there, or an easy way, catch on a taxi. If you're lucky if the taxi driver know the place, if not, the taxi driver will drive you around inside the residential area for finding this cute little hidden cafe house, which will cost you a lot. Lucky us, count on a 'tak berapa lengkap punya‘ map, found it with the help of the taxi driver. 

Miss Joe with her little traveling note and map. She good in planning where to go, 

and she will always know places which is nice to play and take pictures. 

Cozy and home feel interior. 

The dessert we ordered. I ordered a tofu cheese cafe and a green tea soy. 

Not bad, suitable for them who like not-too-sweet food.

We leaved our signature on the guest book. 

And they got a lot of adorable handmade items for sale.

such as bags, passport holders,brooch, keychains, etc.

Fascinating decoration are all around the cafe house. 

Pictures of both of us. 

A few days ago I posted that 'I will gonna go out alone' on my facebook wall. And Xian Long, my one of my national service buddy came out and said want to join. I didn't expect that. Why not? We have been not seeing each other for almost 2 years! We are the best buddies in the camp. He is now staying at Cyberjaya there taking Game Design in MMU. He’s still kind of blurring guy. Sorry for saying that but still you are a simple nice guy. For me, he didn’t have any attempt of something. That’s the feeling I felt when I start friend with him. He is a 100% otaku. That's the one I'm pretty sure. I felt pity of him because he had to travel from Cyberjaya to KL for hours. We went to Fahrenheit / Pavilion / Starhill / Sungai Wang / Timesquare. Crazy right?

 Now I still don't understand why an opening of a shop can be like a concert? So crazy!

Queue for hours for trip to Japan? 50% discount? or just follow the crowd? But I think I'm going to visit the store someday, its the well known Japan fashion brand after all...

 There's fashion week held in Pavilion. Catwalk!!!

First time for me to see a official fashion catwalk show, 

and nice stage design.

 Once again, we stopped by to have dessert after our lunch at Snowflake.
 I like their dessert so much. I think every time I go to Pavilion sure will have a bowl of their bestseller.

So many people queuing in front of it, and hard to find a place to seat.

Hate that some of them already know that the seat are very less and not enough 

but they didn't give a damn shit although you stand and waiting beside of their seat. WTF!

And next we went to Starhill for a walk because both of us never been there before.

A place full of luxurious shops and next interior. I love its massive art deco facade.

 I saw some Christmas decoration inside 
so I asked why decorate so early? and Long answered What early? Now November already.

 I came to realized that yeah, its November already and 
December is coming soon and 2010 will end soon!

Here comes the photo with both of us!

There's Star War Troopers at the entrance of Lot 10, taking pictures with people.

And we saw this cute yellow cab!

And I didn't believed I will saw this one! 

A father walking his own little daughter like a puppy. 

Cruel to say that but true. 

Creative easy job for them but they didn't think 

what other people will think about you parents?

 I will not walking my children like this! Ha~

Expensive Toy

        Finally, I bought a DSLR for myself a few days ago. Of course, I bought it with some of my savings. No secure for paying cash, so have to borrow Miss Joe’s credit card. And of course best moment should spend with best buddy. I had my first camera! So excited until I even think of hugging it when I’m sleep. Yet, I will love it as it is my child. We stopped by at Starbuck to have some rest and get some drinks. Shit Miss Joe, I can't have some drinks because of flu. All are coffees and cold drinks, so I have to restraint from getting worst. So tempting...

While I'm playing with my new toy, Miss Joe also played with her toy, instant camera. It’s just so toy… And a special thing about it is once you snap, the picture straight away comes out, and you just have to wait for a few second for the image to come out. It’s my first time to play with the instant camera so it’s look magical for me. ==’ The instant camera is something like lomo camera. You will feel very exciting when waiting for the image. But the thing is the instant film so expensive and we are so careful for what we take, so we will not waste the film.

  

 Miss Joe's Expression when waiting the image to come out...

So tempting....

 So bad I'm having flu and sore throat...

 ^w^
