Streetart by Ernest Zacharevic

He is a young artist from Lithuania. He created street art paintings in various heritage street in Penang. These art painting are found at Lebuh Armenian, Lebuh Muntri, Chew Jetty, Lebuh Ah Quee, Lebuh Cannon and Lebuh Penang.

I went a few places to capture some of his art painting while it is still there. Besides that, I managed to meet up with him personally. Got his signature, pose with him and got his street art notebook. A very cool experience for me!

I got a few more places to visit to complete all his street art drawings.... 

Choco Baby 7s

I had been stopped by my mother, a thousands times from getting an instant camera. Her reasoning was.... why do you need so many cameras for? Guess she didn't realize, each camera comes with different functionality even thou they serve the same purpose, which is to capture the memories. 

Finally, all the begging I had to do and the long long waiting for years .... she finally said Up to you! :D You can't imagine how happy I was.... Woohhooo! I didn't want to spend a lot of money on it, so I got the most basic fella, 7s in choco colour and bought 2 boxes of film. 

Still untouched, the camera, 7s and the instax mini film.

Ta da... this is how my new baby looks like. 

Official opening.... first CLICK........ 

Opppss.... I failed on the first shot. Lesson 1, it is a 60mm focus lens (0.6m) to infinity. That means I got to be at least 600cm away from the object to avoid disappointment. 

Without much regrets, I tested another shot again. This time... outdoor. Again, I got a wrong shot. Distance problem again....... Painful lesson but I did get the third, fourth and five shots right! :D

Lessons learned here too, practice makes perfect AND learned from your mistakes! :D

Photography: Bukit Tinggi, Pahang

I was so so excited when my cousin said let's go to Bukit Tinggi this weekend. Finally, I get to get out of Penang and something nice for photography too. But I was really disappointed with everything about Bukit Tinggi. It's really sad how a rich company like Berjaya managed the place. The price for the food and beverage are extremely pricey and tasteless. The hotel rooms are really dirty. If they managed it well, it can be a really nice place to hang out to just relax and enjoy the environment. It's the first time, I can't wait to go home from my vacation. 

The only thing that I am happy is that, I didn't come home empty handed. I got some lovely pictures that I am happy with. The design of the house was something I was looking forward to. The tudor houses design and colours are refreshing. But the inside of the houses, needs a lot of maintenance. 

Besides where the hotel is located, we visited the Japanese Garden. It's the first Japanese Tea House in the Tropical Forest. Other than than, it's nothing much to shout about. I enjoyed the walk and the fresh air only. It's 3500 feet above sea level. 

It's a NO trip for me.

Photography: Clouds

I just love God's creation, especially the CLOUDS. They come in different sizes, shapes and colours. I was at The Spring Condo again for a meeting and I managed to capture some pictures of the clouds that I like.

iPhone Apps: For Photography

Let me share with you the iPhone Apps that I used for most of my photography shooting and editing as well. For me, iPhone is one of the most important gadget for me. When I am not with my DSLR, it's the most convenient camera I got on hand. Hope my sharing will be useful for those who can't figure out which apps to go for. Some of the apps I am going to share are FREE and some are PAID apps. The choice is always in your hand. :)

Hipstamatic

It's one of the coolest paid app that I love, as it gives you the feeling that you are having a "DSLR" camera. It allows you to change lens, films, flash and also the casing of your camera. It does comes with standard lens, films, flash and casing. You have an options to purchase different types of lens and films.  

Pudding Camera

This is a FREE app and it's really a good Korean app. Don't worry about not knowing the language as I don't either. Just feel and try. The apps have a lot of different features such as fish eye, taking 4 shots simultaneously, panorama and many more. Try it! Nothing to think as it's FREE and the result is very impressive. 

Camera +

It's a PAID apps. But the features is good. It provides features like grid, geo tagging, touch expose and focus and many more. I have personally recommended this to my close friends and they are really enjoying using this app. Then again, it all voice down to personal preferences. 

TiltShift Generator

It's another PAID apps where it allows you to change from miniature pictures to vintage styles images. Besides that, it allows you to adjust the blurriness of picture as one of the effect for your pictures. You can also adjust the contrast and the saturations of the pictures. It adds the effect to your original pictures. 

Adobe Photoshop Express

Last but not least, this is a good FREE app. You can rotate, crop, change the border of the pictures and also a few editing to your pictures. It's one of the best recommended top FREE apps. It's a must have in your iphone! :)

Hope this will benefit you guys. If there is any topic you like, do voice out and I hope I can share it from my point of view. Enjoy your new apps! :) 

Food: MoonTree47

As usual, I love to spend my time on the internet. I am either working or browsing or blogging and while doing that, I came across a blogpost about this newly opened cafe at Muntri Street. I got excited and almost immediately I put it down in my organizer, under a place where I am going to take my mum there. :) For those of you who don't know, she is my so called partner in crime for hunting down new places for coffee! :P

Randomly, I was in town to collect my parcel from Pos Laju and was thinking where to go for dinner. As usual.... I can't decide where to eat. Then, it just strike me! We can head to Muntri Street and try MoonTree47! Off we went to that direction........  

I just fall in love with the layout of the place and the antique display. It's open for a month only! :D Glad I am the first few who managed to visit the place. Reminds me of my childhood time. :) 

The food taste good and cheaper than Amelia Cafe and Kopi Cine. But taste and atmospheres are different, so they are all worth trying. :) It's all about adventure and suits to personal liking. 

The owner is a very friendly person! Ooppss.... sorry I forgot to ask for her name. :( Mum was busy talking to her.
