Is not easy being father... For 'Mikayla', I have given up most of my spare time now... In fact I don't have any spare time left!!! I've allocated all my time for her... So is no surprise that I didn't update my blog for such a long time...

So am I complaining or what??? Definitely no... Taking care of her is something that I'm looking forward to every single day... I must admit that I'm really tired sometimes but is definitely worth it when you see her grow everyday... Bit by bit, inch by inch... And every morning when you open your eyes and see her sleeping soundly beside you, priceless is the only thing I can say... 

Blogging is not the only thing that I neglected since the birth of 'Mikayla'... My DSLR is staying in the drybox most of the time now... Now the only bag that I carry when going out is my princess diaper bag!!! These are some of the recent photoshoot of my princess... Enjoy and I'm signing off here as is time for me to sleep!!! Yawn... 

OMG, I'm so anxious right now... I know my darling's due date is this month end but frankly speaking, I'm super duper anxious!!! Forgive me as this is my first time being a dad so a little bit of drama is forgiveable I guess...

We name our princess 'Mikayla'!!!

Pity my darling as the tummy is getting bigger and heavier as time passes... Nowadays, she's having trouble sleeping as well... But all these is worth it as our little princess is developing well... She said she felt like carrying a bowling ball in her tummy!!! :) 

Will definitely shower you with lots of love, Mikayla!!!

So grow and develop well my dear 'Mikayla'... Mummy and daddy will be waiting for you!!!

Recently I found one of the BEST photo editing software and is call 'pixlr-o-matic'!!! I may be outdated but is better late than never as I know this software has been introduce quite some time ago... What I really like about this software is the accessibility of it... I run this software from my 'iPad 2', 'Galaxy Nexus' and also my desktop computer!!! Three very different platform but with the same satisfying result!!!

As for photo editing tool, I believe 'pixlr-o-matic' is also one of the best out there!!! Lots of things and effect for you to edit and you know what, I stop using 'Photoshop' nowadays and my 'DSLR' is sleeping soundly in the drybox... Now I just use my 'Galaxy Nexus' to take pics and edit it using 'pixlr-o-matic' which is so much easier to do... Guess is time for me to pamper my 'DSLR'!!!

Finally... The wait is over as 'Instagram' is ready for 'Android'!!! What took them so long to develop the app for 'Android' is beyond me but 'Instagram' for 'Android' is finally here... So you 'Android' fans out there faster download it and be the first to post pictures using one of the most awesome app created for photography lover!!! Another reason for me to switch side???

Woo hoo, finally 'Instagram' is coming to 'Android'!!! Oops why am I so happy about it??? I'm not using 'Android??? But my darling is and who knows maybe in the near future I might be switching over to the dark side!!! Muahahaha... I believe introduction to 'Instagram' is not needed as most people know or hear about it... In my humble opinion, this is the best camera apps around!!! No other apps come close to it... So all 'Android' users interested in this awesome app, please head over to http://instagr.am/android/ and register yourself... Just key in your e-mail address and when they finally release the beta version, you will be notify!!! Now all I need to do is to sit and wait!!!

Frankly speaking, I don't have good impression for 'Singapore' (continue reading if you're feeling piss off right now!!!) as a lot of my friends complaint about it... But most of them are still working there... I know the main reason for this is because of the conversion rate from 'Singapore Dollar' to 'Ringgit Malaysia'... So no matter how bad the country is, you will still need to tolerate... 

Is been a long time since I last step into 'Singapore' as a tourist... I went there a couple of times last year but it was purely business and the only place that I went was my customer place situated in 'Woodlands' and 'Marina Bay Sands' which was also one of our customer... That's it... Nothing more and nothing less...

We were really excited when we had the opportunity to travel to 'Singapore' and pretend to be a tourist for a day a fortnight ago... Actually we were attending a friend's 'ROM' and in the meantime, we took the opportunity presented at us and decided to go sight seeing the very next day...

After spending a day in 'Singapore', it changed my perception totally!!! It is a beautiful country and the living expenses is way lower compare to 'Kuala Lumpur'!!! (please don't convert the currency... what I'm talking about is earning the same amount of money in both country and try buying something similar... for example, an 'Apple iMac' cost around RM3600++ in 'Malaysia' whereas in 'Singapore', you can get one for around $1600++!!! RM3000 a month can't get you an 'iMac' in 'Malaysia' but $3000 a month can get you at least one and a half 'iMac' in 'Singapore'... see the difference???)...

Don't really have enough time to shop around as we got a flight to catch... Don't want to miss my flight again!!! (will blog about this in my coming blog!!! our first time missing a flight)... Brother-in-law took us to the famous 'Orchard Road' and some other shopping complexes around that area as we need to meet up with some other friends that are currently residing in 'Singapore'... 

The famous durian roof of 'Esplanade'!!!

Inside 'Esplanade'...

Going around 'Singapore' is really easy... You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure it out as their 'MRT' is really user friendly something like our very own 'LRT'... 

'Orchard Road'!!! Finally have the chance to get up-close and personal with it!!! In my opinion, there's nothing special about this road... But for the ladies, this is a very different story... 

This is so very cool!!! Walking advertisement... I know we have this in 'Malaysia' as well... But the ladies are not as hot as these!!! Very beautiful looking girls (not sure about the guys though)... The way they place the ad is ingenious but I wonder what will happen if there's a strong gust of wind blowing either from the front or back??? Will these ladies be blown away??? I doubt so looking at how skinny there are!!! 

Below are some random pics of the shopping complexes that we have visited... Unfortunately, I can't remember their name... Not even a single one!!!

'H&M' is very cheap in 'Singapore'... All the clothes and pants selling in double digit... Only coats retailing over a hundred dollar... Hopefully 'H&M Malaysia' will price their clothes as low as in 'Singapore'!!! But I really doubt so...

After spending almost a full day in 'Singapore', I'm starting to fall in love with it!!! I guess my friends in 'Singapore' will agree with me on this... Exchange rate is only one of the reason and there are a lot of  other good reasons for them to be staying there (cheap food/electronics/clothing and etc)!!! But good times tend to pass really fast and is time for us to come back to reality and start working my ass off again!!! 

This is the decorations at '1 Utama' shopping complex... Nothing special and definitely underwhelming if you compare it to the previous two that I had posted... Quite disappointed!!! (Sorry for the short update as I'm still in my holiday mood!!!)

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!

You can be the judge and tell me which is nicer in terms of decorations... 'Pavilion', 'Mid Valley' or 'Gardens'???  In my humble opinion, I believe 'Pavilion' win this round again... Frankly speaking, the giant lantern in 'Mid Valley' and 'Gardens' look nice, but it is not enough to defeat 'Pavilion'...

But the person sitting on the rope is more spectacular compare to the giant lanterns!!! Just look at him sitting there without any harness!!! I don't know how the hell he ended up there in the middle!!!

 A close up!!! This guy have balls!!! Not some ordinary one I guess!!!

 Close up view of the giant lantern with more miniature lanterns in it...

The lantern decorations in 'Gardens' is slightly different compare to the one found in 'Mid Valley'... Much simple looking and the scale have been tone down a few notch!!!

Nowadays, whenever there is any special occasion/celebration, I will definitely make a trip to 'Pavilion'!!! Not because of shopping unfortunately (unfortunate for 'Pavilion' but definitely fortunate for me!!!)... The reason is because of the decorations 'Pavilion' will put on display... In my earlier blog post, I blog about the 'Christmas' decorations and 'Pavilion' took the number one spot in my humble opinion... I'm afraid the same will be happening for 'Chinese New Year' decorations as well... Those incharge of decorating 'Pavilion' ought to have a pay rise!!! The role of 'Pavilion' now double as a shopping complex and also a tourist hot spot!!!

When you step into 'Pavilion', you will be greeted by this super duper HUGE dragon!!! As this year is the year of the dragon, it is befitting to decorate the whole place with a super BIG dragon... This is definitely the biggest dragon I've ever seen... (I know a lot of people think that dragon is a mythical creature but believe it or not, I actually saw one when I was a kid!!! The dragon was flying in the sky above a Chinese temple!!! I still remember the scene vividly and I'm sure what I saw was a dragon and I'm definitely not hallucinating!!!)

Notice all the people down there??? I was shocked when I saw the crowd!!! Nevertheless I took out my trusted camera and snapped away and suddenly, someone asked me what's going on... It looks like some big shot or artist is coming to 'Pavilion' hence all the crowds waiting to see them... The guy asked me who is actually coming and when my answer is 'I DON'T KNOW', he look damn shock... He said with a sarcastic tone "you're carrying such a BIG camera and I assume you know who is coming"!!! Hmm he thinks I'm a PRO!!! Not bad... Actually I'm quite happy to hear that... Haha...

After walking for half a round, I finally manage to find out who is actually coming... The cast from 'Ah Beng The Movie: Three Wishes'!!! Since I'm not interested to find out who is actually coming, is time to move on and stop wasting time waiting for them as I'm starving ('Carl's Jr' I'm COMING!!!)...

Okay I found out two of the BIG shots coming for the event... 'Lai Meng' and 'Yap Chin Fong'... Please don't mistaken the 'Lai Meng' for 'Leon Lai' of Hong Kong!!!

 I love wide angle nowadays!!!

In my opinion, the star of the show is the main entrance... The dragon is definitely nice but the surrounding decorations are not as good as the main entrance.
