A Meaty Day..

You guys remember Paul and Eileen? It’s been almost 2 years since we first met them and were assigned to cover their beautiful wedding back in 2009. Just to recap :



Here’s Eileen in all her bridal glory by her bedroom window. The morning sun provided some beautiful lighting for this shot.



And here’s Paul, getting ready to pick up his beautiful bride.

So anyways, a friend recommended this one particular shop located in Mont Kiara which serves delicious burgers. Being meat buffs, Jason and I decided to ask Paul, who is also a meat buff, and Eileen along. Plus.. another friend whom we have not hung out with for sometime. Several other could not make it tho. Next time ya :)

So early that morning we headed out. Firstly we had to meet up with another client to deliver their albums. Here are some “off the hip” lomo-(wannabe) photos of earlier in the morning :



Arriving at client’s place… security is rather tight… needed some verifications and stuff like that. Quite a nice place with a nice pool and a nice hilly greeneries by the side.



Somehow, we are attracted to lights. Not like like how them roos are so mesmerised by headlights, but rather attracted to how light falls on a subject. Jason is seen here putting himself as test subject for the late morning light coming into the condo’s corridor.



Finally… heading down the elevator.



and see how happy Jason was when making our way to our burger appointment?



The place is called Las Vacas. It’s a butcher shop where you can also order dine in where they will cook your cuts for you. Also available on the table are an assortment of fine sauces, including the very tasty Heinz Tomato and HP BBQ sauce. Extremely tasty.



Joining us.. the lovely couple.. Paul and Eileen.



And… Dizzy. Who was also rather excited about the burger. But check out the ice lemon tea drink in a bottle. That’s like one gulp for me and it’s gone.

And the dishes ordered.



First up is Paul’s 400gm Angus. Medium Rare!



This is Eileen’s 250gm beef burger. for RM20. I say it’s rather worth it’s weight!!



Check out the thickness of the patty. Oh.. and the oozing cheese.



And.. the highlight of the afternoon…



… the 350gm of lamb patties sandwiched between a layer of fresh greens, fried egg, cheese and two buns.



And served with fries.



Dizzy had a slightly hard time finishing his burger with all it’s 350gm glory. But he managed to finished it anyways. *clap clap clap*



And here’s Jason definitely enjoying himself.

It was nice catching up with Paul, Eileen and Dizzy. We should do this more often :)

Till the next time. We have some wedding photos to show you guys. Stay tuned!

On The Rocks

Last weekend, after covering a wedding on Saturday, early the next morning…

.. we are on the road again to yet another shoot. This time, it’s a very interesting shoot indeed.

That’s right.. we went to shoot a rock climbing photoshoot.

 

It was fun.. and interesting as well. It was our first time taking such photos. And it was indeed a challenge. If you look at the photo above, you can see… hmm.. I think that was William up there.

It was ‘hard’ work wei..

BUt of course, we did not just shoot climbing shots. We also did a lovey dovey couple shoot around the climbing site as well.

We are still in the midst of processing the photographs. We hope to have the entire set completed soon.

Check back soon ya…

A Teaser

It has been quite sometime since we last updated this blog. Our most sincere apologies. We have several shoots since, but have yet to sit down and upload photos and stories behind each shoot. Will sit down and get to it as soon as we can.

Currently we have our hands full with multiple sets of photos to work on. But here’s something for you guys while we work on the photos.



A little teaser of what is to come next :)

Hold on to your socks people. We are back!!

Flying in the Cirrus SR20

I was really excited. I could not sleep the night before. It has always been my life long dream to actually pilot an aircraft. Last weekend, that dream came true. Courtesy of DiGi via their ‘I Am Curious’ campaign, Jason and I could get on a small plane and fly around KL. Plus I get to pilot the plane… just for a little while but it was good enough for me.



Security was rather tight and so was their regulations. All vehicles parked outside the premise and you walk in. I guess it’s to prevent any unwanted incidents. DiGi was kind enough to arrange transport to enter the premise so we do not have to talk all the way in.



As we waited for our turn to hitch a ride in, the constant roar of aircrafts taking off, landing and taxing on the runway was already nudging up my excitement level. Upon arrival at the hangar, the sight of the aircrafts and the wide open space of the runway redlined my excitement level.



The day had started really well. It was a cool morning with clear blue skies which beckons.



The aircrafts on stand by also beckons. My heart was racing as I paced through them. Such elegant machines they are.



This is the aircraft we were assigned to; the Cirrus SR20 4 seater. It’s a light aircraft.



Here we can see the size comparison. hehehe.

There were 4 other groups besides us. And since they were earlier than us, they went up first and we were the last to go up in the air.



After one group comes back, the next group goes up. So while waiting, we had sometime to look around.



.. and we found this… Rolls punya engine! Fuhyor! Hebat!



Very soon it was our turn. I get to sit infront because I get to pilot the plane. Weeeee!!! And the aircraft has quite modern avionics!



Check out the multi-function display. And the side-mounted control stick. The entire cockpit is surprising spacious. Still quite tight, probably like a kelisa. But the rear has got plenty of leg room.



After some chit chat with the tower, our captain… Captain Razeef proceeded to the runway and we are off!!



I took video. :)



And we are off the ground!!



The feeling is really raw. You feel everything little bump and turbulence.



Jason feeling rather ecstatic. Especially when he learnt that we were going up in the Cirrus SR20 instead of the Cessna 100 series. Plus… another secret weapon of the Cirrus SR20 which put us all at ease……



Hidden behind this cover is the release lever for the CAPS or Cirrus Airframe Parachute System. It’s specifically designed by Ballistic Recovery System (BRS) for Cirrus. And that the Cirrus SR20 is the first every aircraft to implement this system.



We flew around KL for about 20-30 minutes.



A wonderful view of KL city from the air.







Oh.. and the highlight of the day…



I get to pilot the aircraft for a while. Nothing much. Just a couple of banks, dive a little bit then pull up a little bit.



Happy man!!

Oh.. Captain Razeef also did a quick negative G dip which lifted us off out seats screaming!! Woo.. fun!



Before we had time to recover from our excitement, we were headed back to the airport.





Touch down!!

When asked, Captain Razeef assured me that it’s not difficult to fly. After a while, you will get used to it and it would be like driving a car.



It was a real fun day. An opportunity of a lifetime to get into one of these aircraft and fly around KL. I would not mine having one of these for myself. Anytime can make a day trip to Penang for some Prawn Mee.

Check out the movie!!

And last but not least. Thanks Digi for the opportunity. !!
