On the Day I don't bring my Camera out....

On the day I don't bring my camera out, things happen to me....

Yesterday was one of those days. The elevators in my office were cranky and one by one shut down and needed maintenance. Out of the 5 elevators available, only 1 was working and it had to cater to all 20 floors of my office building's staff. You can imagine how long it'd take for that 1 and only elevator to go up and come down. After waiting 15 minutes for the elevator to come so that I could go home, my colleague told me that it'd be better to walk down than get stuck in the lift just in case it also broke down from overworking. In my mind....I was like "Waaaaaaahhhh...!!!!"... because my office was on the 12th floor. In the end, we walked down the stairs...it was quite dim and eerie but we had company as people from the higher and lower floors were also doing the same. In my mind, I was thinking...aiyah....if only I had my camera...can take floor by floor numbering. Going downstairs took us about 15 minutes. I do hope the elevators are working today because I don't think I have energy to climb up to the 12th floor. It'll be sheer madness and no..I am not bringing my camera out today either.

A trip to the Water Lily Pond

As you can probably tell that it was really very sunny when I took this photo. It was a wrong move to go to the Orchid and Hibiscus park at 2pm in the afternoon. The only shots that turned out nice were these waterlilies at the waterlilies pond.

A red dragon fly humming at a bud

Some shots of the waterlily

I will return there soon but in the morning for a cooler shoot.

Chicken Teppanyaki Set

I had this chicken Teppanyaki Set from Kiku Zakura in Berjaya Times Square last Sunday but it is a miss dish as compared to its hit dish sibling, the beef teppanyaki set, as I felt the sauce wasn't garlicky enough.

A revisit to KL Butterfly Park

I was lucky to be in the company of a macro sifu (sifu = master in Cantonese) to the Butterfly Park today and he was kind enough to loan me his macro lens and spare battery when my battery began to run out...His macro lens which I hand held in my left hand against my own camera lens when I shot these pics really opened a new window in my eyes. The insects details became more defined and I could actually see their eyes, eyeballs, fur and more defined colors on the insect bodies.

1. A sprig of fresh Basil Flower

2. I hear some rustling in a bush...what can it be?

3. Oh..!!! It's a butterfly!

4. A Black Moth with polka dots

5. A closer view to its face

6. A cricket

7. A dragon fly sunning its wings

8. Another dragon fly sunning itself

9. I like this blue polka dots butterfly

10. Out of a sudden, I heard a rustle and took a snapshot of this head that just caught this butterfly...I then nearly dropped my camera as I initially thought it was a snake....when I looked closer, then I only realized it was a garden lizard...but still...very geli (geli = the feeling of disgusted/vile in Malay)

11. After I snapped its pictures, Francis Sifu went to snap and he was brave enough to go closer but the garden lizard just wanted to eat in peace and went to hide behind the pots of shrubs...
