Press what?

Press my toes peeps! No, just kidding.. Nike Prestos.. My all time favourite.. I remember craving for it when I was in form 2.. It was priced at Rm399.. Couldn’t afford it.. Then a year later, when i was in Form 3.. I got myself a pair.. Managed to salvage a pair right down town in KL Plaza, where the biggest Nike Flagship store in South East Asia then was situated. Hytex Studio was it’s name!

Popped my first pair of Prestos on the day when I collected my PMR results.. (Yes end of the year..) I will always remember that shoe.. It was one of the most significant shoe in my high school days!

These are my first Prestos.. I love them! Noticed the ripped off cage… They are the 1 of the two pairs of shoes which are ripped and I am not discarding them.. I just love them even if they are ripped! They were my first running shoes too!

This the inside of the Presto box! I still remember the day I got them.. I read about the technology over and over again! Hahaha.. Heyy I was still a kid and I was excited about my newly acquainted sneakers! (and I do not buy sneakers often.. Once a year perhaps.. Unlike now..  )

Then the following year, when I was in form 5 if I wasn’t wrong.. I was more into sneakers.. I saw these Presto Foot Tents on the discount bin! Without hesitation! I grabbed them! And immediately I hugged them close to me! I remember that moment.. It was me, FungKeng and Terence.. 3 of us.. Only two pairs.. I was holding tight and I never will give them up!

Here they are! The Presto foot tents! They were my all rounder beaters for quite a good 3 years and they are still perfectly fine! I still wear them! And oh.. My first race.. In 2005, KL Power Run.. I completed 7km (ranking top 100 in my category) with these Presto Tents! I’m proud of them! And they are still alive! HOW GREAT!!!

And now… They retro-ed the Prestos! What more can I say?

And he’s the third in the family! The youngest, the freshest, the sleekest among all.. In mono tone! It still feels the same as they do! And oh for your info.. They come in weird sizes.. Why? Because they are not numbered sizes, but in S,M,L.. No worries, they have as small as XS and TRIPLE XL! Hahahah.. Damn those beasts!

Long live Prestos! My all time favourite.. And they were the ones that got me into sneakers.. I wasn’t introduced to the Air Max range when I was at that age.. The Air Max were much older and I had no clue bout them till lately.. So yea, I wasn’t a sneakerhead but I was just a lil bit more particular in shoes.. Now.. Hmmm.. I’m just a tiny sneakerhead in the sneakerworld.. Yea, you can count.. If Prestos got me started and I had mine in 2003, you should know how long I am into this game.. It is only for about 6 years.. So honeslty, I am just a teeny weeny sneakerhead wannabe…

Oh well.. I got my Prestos and I am happy with it! NIKE!! Please retro more of these!

Till then folks! And oh yea.. These was what I wanted to say in my earlier post.

Oh before I leave.. Here is two clearer photos before I leave…

Photos from Bagan Hailam.

As I mentioned in the earlier post, last Friday we headed to Klang for seafood.. So before I head on with the food photos.. Here is a few more scenary of the place.

Dramatic clouds.. Wooo woo..

Yea I know it is similar as the photo above, but I just can’t help taking so many of these photos.. Hahahha..

Panorama.. Click to enlarge..

Then it was reaching sunset..

Sunset at the jetty.

More sunset…

Dinner is served after awhile. I guess I don’t have to introduce you guys to seafood, do I?

And much more actually. I got my hands dirty after the second crab was served, therefore, no pictures on the rest of the dishes.

Who doesn’t like crab pincirs huh? Someone just have to drop it on the floor right beside me.. Sighhh..

Part of the group.. Feeling for the low light photography..

That’s all folks.. The dinner was great, but it could have been much better if we ordered much more.. Hahaha.. We headed over to McDs at Ss2 for some snacks.

On the side note…

Ahh nevermind.. I’ll blog about it next time.. Till then!

Friday Getaway!

Just like any other Friday, today is another day I’ve been looking forward for.. Friday marks the beginning of the weekend. Friday is simply the best day of my week, regardless whichever week it is.. My weekend officially started right after uni, where eman, kweejin and I were on a Topshop shopping spree.. Bought a few tee shirts, and so did eman and kweejin.. Hahaha.. Guys needs retail therapy too. And I am a guy who likes shopping. I definitely wouldn’t mind accompanying someone of the opposite sex to shop. I would be happy to give a piece of my mind.

Today, we took a 45 minutes drive out of town just to get our tummies filled with some fresh seafood.. We drove all the way to Bagan Hailam in Klang… We started our journey at approximately 6pm.. Reached sliglty before 7pm. I kinda like the idea of eating beneath the beautiful skies by the erm sea? So yea anyway.. I am really tired now.. I’ve been up since 7.30am, and I only had 5 hours of sleep last night…

For now..

Just an eye candy for today…

Going off to bed now.. Till then peeps! Goodnight fellas!

Trusty Forty..

Most of you must have realized the lack of updates on this space.. This is because I am busy with school work, photography jobs, tired with my camera, spending some time with the missus, and also my camera has been away for a week. On the way home from a photo assignment with eman I was sooo tired that I decided to leave everything in his car. My bags, my lenses, my batteries, my card reader, and I think there’s a pack of chewing gum in the bag.. Or maybe not…

So yea, I’ve been cameraless for a week, and I must say it feels quite good.. Not needing to worry about my gears at home alone when I am out, and not needing to lug these heavy gears everywhere I go.. Anyway, I still miss my forty D.. Should be getting it back home today..

My 40D.. Taken from ewin’s A700 quite some time ago, when he wanted me to show how did I setup to shoot my “studio” shots.

Internet connection at home is such a bitch. I hate it so much that I am not online most of the time. Hence, I am blogging from my uni’s computer lab during break.

Lecture today was quite good I’d say. Anyway, I have to run for my next class.. See ya peeps! Keep on coming to my site alright? I will be updating more often soon! Cheers! Till then.

Smoked!

It’s been a tiring week.. And just to end this week, I participated in the Standard Chartered KL International Marathon yesterday, Sunday.. I took part in the 21km race. Finished in 2 hours and 10 minutes..

Definitely something worth bragging about.. I’ve clocked in my first 250km on my Nike+iPod.. And that is my certificate by the way.. Is 250km in 2-3 years worth to be framed and hung on my wall? Hmm.. Will decide later..

Here is the stats for the 21km run..

From today… I press to listen to my stats practically at every kilometer.. (Noticed the dots?) 3 times of my power songs towards the end.. I really needed it to push myself.. My power song? The Killers – Human..

I am really glad I’ve finished the race. My first 21km and hopefully there will be more to come.. I am happy..

A picture of me by eman taken with his iXus. If you can’t see, there’s 3 dSLR’s with huge lenses, grips and flashes.. And thats me being tired.. Oily face and messy hair.. I wonder how did I pull off that smile.. I swear I was so tired I felt like dying..

That’s all guys.. See ya soon..

p/s: On the side note, I smoked Kennysia in the 21km race by 25 minutes..

From B to Z!

Busy..

Sigh!

On the side note.. Bought Transformers 2 tickets for movie tonight and I have to miss it as I have other things to do..

That’s the only break!

Goodnight people..

Electric Blue Sky!

Ever wish the skies are ever blue? I am not sure about you but the weather does affect my mood. I feel happier when I see clear blue skies, although it is hot and sunny, it feels good still..

Nothing beats breaking fresh into a 5 years old sneaker on a nice sunny day..

Oh well anyway.. Tuesday was just another boring day.. After uni went to Curve to ship some stuff, had McD’s for lunch and took some random photos around here and there with eman..

His house.. I bet the house looked better with blue skies in the background..
We went back to his place after Curve just so that he can grab his camera out.

We ran out of places to go.. Went over to Taman Aman park.. As random as can be.. When we reach there, we noticed there isn’t much that we can shoot.. Other than green puddle of water, electric towers, birds which we followed from tree to tree which then flew off even before we could get a nice photo of it..

And finally I shot an electric tower with an ultra wide angle lens.. I always wanted to snap a photo of the electric tower.. For no apparent reasons, it was like something I must shoot when I get my wide angle lens..

And so I shot it… I find the orange tint a lil weird.. What do you think?

And this is how it looked like from right below…

That’s all for now…

By the way.. Any runners interested to run or train with me? I really need someone to run with me.. It is always more motivational to run in groups (or at least in pair) than to run alone…

Anyway I am going to run at Kiara hills in a moment.. See ya people! Cheers and a have a nice day!

Friday is tomorrow! WOWOWO! The weekend is near!

Running in the 90’s!

Woohoo.. Another new pair!

Air Max 90 from the year 2004..

It is not a size 12 for your info.. They are in my size.. It is the distortion that made it look long..
Wooohoo.. The bubbles are still fine..

Thanks to my number1 hookup of all times..

I am not sure if you guys noticed the sky today.. The clear blue skies are back! And this time blue-er than ever! Obviously clear blue skies in Malaysia means extremely hot and sunny! Whatever it is I love blue skies!

Ultra WIDE Angle…. not… This is a panorama.. Don’t be fooled.. How I wish my wide angle is this wide.. Hahahha.. A little dark in there, I took this after my short run at around 7.15pm.

Now you’ve seen outside of my house.. Now lets turn around..

That’s my house, it is not just a house.. It is my home… Wheeee I love those blue skies.. *faint*

Can you live without Astro? Not sure bout you guys, but I defiinitely can.. No you didn’t misread.. I said I can.. I spend less than an hour of TV in a week.. Trust me.. However I spend like 23 hours infront of my computer.. Hahaha… So internet is a must to me.. Alright.. That’s all for now folks! Cheers and goodnight! Bye bye Monday blues!

Paint me in black and white..

As I said in the previous post, the same outing.. Now in mono tone.. No words.. Just black and white pictures.. You figure out the texts yourself…

And lastly.. A portrait in monotone..

Cheers all and have a great Sunday, the last day of the weekend..

In search for cheap watches..

Last Tuesday, we (eman, Jin & I) headed down town (Petaling Street area) to search for cheap Casio watches. While we roam the streets of KL, we lugged our heavy cameras along to do some street photography and waste some shutter counts.. It has been a very long while since we’ve done photography outing..

Anyway.. While waiting for eman to reach KL, Jin and I headed over to Madras lane for their famous Curry Laksa. *drools* (feeling hungry now..)

Mmmmhhhhmm.. *slrrpp*

Jin

eman

Me (animated gif thanks to eman’s continous shot.. be patient, it may take some time to load..)

Eman got his Casio while I didn’t manage to find a nice Data Bank yet.. Still uncertain whether to go with the metal links or PVC strap ones..

Random..

Walked from one street to another and we somehow got here..

Edge at center..

And I particularly like this photo..

After awhile, the weather didn’t looked too good, we went back to Pasar Seni, had a nice cool drink while looking thru the photos, and then we head over to KLCC. Jin wanted to get some PS3 game.

Hung out at KLCC for quite awhile and then chill out by the stair case where people smoke and take some photos.. That’s when dusk was about to hit, the color of the sky was amazing. We then decided to get to the other side to take some nice photos of the Twin Towers.

And now I finally know when is the best time to snap such photos..

Shot with eman’s 24-70 f/2.8L.. Razor sharp aye!

Later that night we went home at about 9pm.. Exhausted.. Oh well, it was fun.. I will probably post another set of photos in the next post from the same photo outing…

Goodnight! and HOORAYY!! It is Friday!

Friday I’m in love!
