Visiting Relatives During Raya

Part of the festivities is to go visit relatives. So my mum and I drove to my auntie's and cousin's home. The house was recently renovated so it looked quite nice.

Hari Raya in Penang

This year my mum wanted to escape from the typical Raya duties of cooking and entertaining guests, so we drove to Penang Island and stayed there for a few days at a beach hotel. It was a good getaway although we experienced persistent rain.

Visiting Late-Dad's Grave

Every year, before the fasting month is over, my brother and I would make a trip to the cemetery where my late-Dad was buried, to say some prayers and clean up the grave area. My brother's kids would tag along and help in the cleaning up too. I somehow find graveyards very peaceful and comfortable.

Testing out my new Nikon D700

With my recent purchase of a new Nikon D700 DSLR, I am happy to say I have moved over to full-frame FX photography! Did some test snapshots to verify my D700 is working, and I can report that I'm very satisfied with its performance.

Yet Another Malay Wedding

This is my boss' son's wedding, and I was selected to be the official photographer :) With the blistering afternoon sun, by the time the ceremony was over, I was pretty knocked out. I had taken mostly snapshots and group pics, but managed to grab the key scenes.

Alfa with a Flat Tyre

Nowadays my brother drives my Alfa Romeo 146. Yesterday, he discovered the front left tyre was flat. We got a nearby workshop to check out the tyre and the mechanic said it was not caused by a puncture, but a tiny gap between the tyre and the wheel rim was letting out some air. My brother needs to send it to a tyre specialist next week to have it repaired.
