Didn’t know the winter weather could be quite depressing

Winter blues
June 26, 2010Shopping and more shopping..
June 23, 2010Hello there (:
Sorry for being a way so long. I had been busy studying or least trying to study in the last two weeks. I made it out alive my first semester in university. I’m in my second day of holidays and I’m already so worn out by my holiday schedules.
I understand completely why girls call shopping as a form of exercise. Bags of clothes on your left and right hand, walking here and there, up and down..that’s equilavent of doing 3 sets of shoulder press, 3 sets of bicep curls and 30 minutes of cardio on the treadmill.
Anyway, I’m gonna promise you guys and girls beautiful pictures during my holidays. I’m so excited to have random photoshoots in Melbourne. My 110cm reflector arrived the other day and I can’t wait to use it! I’ve been dying to do some portraits in winter. Any willing model? =)
Lau!
Shrine of Remembrance
June 8, 2010Today I had quite an interesting day. Me and a bunch of frens decided to go down pass Flinders Street, to the Memorial Park. We visited the Shrine of Remembrance. It’s like the Malaysian version of Tugu Negara. Well, I’ve never actually been to Tugu Negara before but I’m guessing this place is way better than that.
The sight of the shrine from afar is simply admirable. It looks like it has the ancient Greek architecture, more like the Pantheon. The row of columns at the front is indeed a statement of the building. Walking up towards the shrine, I realised the shrine looks pretty small. However, once I was inside, I was really amazed of how big the place actually is. The size of the shrine from outside could simply fool my eyes due to the proportions of certain elements (okayy..enough of architecture talk).
It was half gloomy, half shinny in Melbourne today. Just enjoy the series of pictures below!
The interior part of the shrine. Love how the natural light comes through the skylight into the center space.
The entrance to the visitors centre.
I don’t have much pictures of myself in Melbourne taken with my own camera and I rarely post any of them here. Here’s something I don’t do quite often.
Goshhhh I miss home!
Goodbye Autumn..
June 2, 2010What do you know? Autumn has already ended and here comes Winter. The trees are almost balding and it’s getting colder as the day goes by. I never knew creation was this beautiful. The sight of yellow leaves all over the ground and the smell of fresh air is simply amazing. I really can’t wait for my exams to be over. Hopefully I’ll get to go New Zealand at the end of the month. As far as I know, New Zealand has a really scenic landscape. The thought of grabbing my camera and photograph it can make me go all ecstatic.
However, the highlight of my holidays would be spending 9 days in Sydney. I’m looking forward for the Sydney holiday a lot, especially for the seafood. And…and..of cuz I can’t wait for Hillsong Conference 2010!
Anyway, just enjoy the last few pictures from my Autumn collections. The next series would be pictures from Winter! (:
One of my favourite portrait of Autumn
This was photograph at Melbourne University. I couldn’t resist the idea of photographing my friends in front of this arc door (:
Right in front of Crown
Birds
My first ever photojournalism. A peaceful protest was going on along Bourke Street. Lucky for me, I had my gears with me.
My favourite!
Collingwood Children’s Farm
May 29, 2010I’ve never been to a farm before in my life. Vincent brought us to a children farm, something like a petting zoo. Well the only reason why we were there was to have breakfast.
Nothing beats having fresh breakfast from the farm itself! It was my first time eating poached eggs. Well poached eggs are similar to what we Malaysian call ‘telur mata kerbau’, in direct translation, bull’s eye egg. It’s some sorta fusion between half boiled egg as well. The picture below was what I ordered today, the big breakfast. See the two white eggs on top of the bread? Those are poached eggs.
Anyway, just enjoy the series of pictures below. Hope you guys love the autumn feel and especially the ‘lomo’ feel in the pictures. I felt I’ve been over doing it lately, but I really felt thats my autumn theme =)
