Hello second term!

July 23, 2010

My second term in Melbourne University started today. I’m really so glad that classes will resume next week because time will just fly by when the semester starts. I really can’t wait to graduate end of this year and get back home to Malaysia!

Haha anyway here’s another shot from a photoshoot I did last week (:

Teaser!

Beauty of Sydney

July 13, 2010

 Hello (:

First of all, a big apologies to those who had email me to inquire about my packages for the late replies. I’ll work on those emails right away after this blog post. I was away in Sydney for holidays and I didn’t have my laptop with me. The only interaction I had with the online world was my phone!

My holidays have been great indeed! I honestly wish that I could post up all my photos in this blog and show it to you guys but I guess the only best option I have is to post it on my facebook page. When I first had a glimpse of the cityscape, I immediately fell in love with Sydney! Comparing Sydney against Melbourne, Sydney is a much older city. Unlike Melbourne, Sydney isn’t plan out in a grid system. The cityscape has lots of uphills and downhills and traffic congestion is probably similar to the traffic congestion in Kuala Lumpur. It took us an hour plus to get back home from Circular Quay to King Cross at 12am midnight! But of course I didn’t fell in love with Sydney for its traffic woes, I fell in love with the beauty of the streets, the buildings and the idea of the city being right beside the river.

What I don’t like about Sydney is that there are no trams for you to move about! Well there’re trams in China Town area but that’s the only known tram services to me. Aside from that, the people are kinda rude in the city. The bus driver was kinda rude to me when I entered the bus without validating my ticket. Coming from Melbourne where a ticket needs to be validated once, I thought it’s the same too in Sydney.

Anyway, enjoy these few series of pictures. Will post more in my next update!

Shrine of Remembrance

June 8, 2010

Today 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, 2010

What 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!
