Birthday Anak Buah!! (Asyik Birthday Budak je)

Last Sunday we celebrated my nephew's birthday. Icky namanya (actually Rifqi). Rifqi ni semenjak kecil memang dijaga oleh my family and now dia agak rapat la juga dengan family my mom kan. So my mom decided nak buat a little birthday gathering la kerna kasih dan sayangnya dia pada cucu dia tu.

Mula-mula dengar cerita and plan macam just a small gathering yang melibatkan immediate family. But then tiba-tiba disebabkan my mom rapat dengan akak-akaknya and oleh kerna terlanjur kata, invitation tu extended to other family member. What was initially a small gathering turned out to be a full fledge birthday party (without all the gimmicks la kan...except cake, mesti ada).

So bagus la. Since dia pun dah 4 tahun dia boleh la jugak appreciate birthday celebration kan. I bought him a hot wheel scooter but dia lebih minat dekat remote control car. Tak mengapa Icky, uncle ingat sampai bila-bila. hehe.

Arianna's Birthday Celebration!!

Last week walaupun cuti, agak hectic jua. Jumaat pergi Janda Baik, sabtu pula ada birthday party anak orang and then ahad nak settlekan hal rumahtangga.

But seronok juga sebab boleh bawa anak jalan-jalan dari duduk terperap dekat rumah. Sofeah ni the kind yang suka keluar. Setiap petang pukul 6 nanny dia kena bawa jalan dekat kawasan condo ni sementara tunggu ummi dan ayah pulang dari kerja.

So hari Sabtu tu birthday Arianna (happy birthday!!), anak kak Betty yang sudah masuk umur 7 tahun. Boleh tahan juga party dia ada khemah, performer, artiste untuk conteng-conteng anak orang and makanan dia sedap (siap boleh bungkus bawa balik so that wife tak perlu masak malam).


So pergi party saja bawa kamera baru for fun (dekat event camtu la nak suka-suka tangkap gambar and sharpen skill yang teramatlah tumpul ni kan). So memandangkan tak ada official photographer, maka jadilah guest photographer (walaupun tak ada experience tangkap gambar event). Ok la overall tapi sebab masih baru lagi guna DSLR (SLR dah 3-4 tahun guna so lebih mahir sikit).

Hasil-hasil seni (tidak seberapa) itu bolehlah dilihat di laman web flickr saya under set "Arianna's Birthday Bash 2009!!" (klik).



Saya bukanlah seorang pakar fotografi dan saya tidak terima bayaran untuk khidmat (penuh kelemahan) yang diberi. Tapi kalau nak saya cover event boleh je (for free pun) sebab nak exposure.

Sekian!!

Of Nur Alya Sofeah!!

Last Friday was historic for this family, we got ourselves a camera. A good one but with slight defect considering we don't have enough money to buy certain equipments. We bought a Canon camera, EOS 450D (a.k.a. Rebel XSi if you're Japanese and other weird countries with similar gedikness).

So I've test it several times and we're lucky that the store had the camera in stock ready for us just before we went on a trip to Janda Baik with my wife's family and relatives.

After a brief trial and error, my review of the camera would be that it's quite good. Satisfactory. But considering that before this I only have a Yashica SLR camera which is old, so this camera is great! (of course we haven't yet paid the full amount). So next item on the list is a camera flash thingy (the built in flash is highly annoying) and a better lens (the kit lense has its limits).

So here's a collection of some of my earliest tests - "of Nur Alya Sofeah" (click the name)

Haven't yet got the time to upload the Janda Baik pictures.

Well, we're off to a children's birthday party and more picture taking!

Sofeah's certainly happy
