Family portrait.

I know this is a late post, it's 1st of January, 2014, but here i am, posting about Christmas. AHHHH. How i missed christmas :(

The other day was my mom's birthday. And so it happened that dad had already set up the christmas tree. So mom decided that we should really get a group photo together. I just feel that time really flies and now we're all grown up. Parents think that they should really get as many group photos with their family as possible so that it can be kept eternity (in my hard disk of course)

Mom received a bouquet of really lovely lilies. It smelt really nice and sweet too. Mom was on cloud nine. It was from sister and i'm sure it cost a lot.

While daddy here is holding sunflower which was second brother's graduation bouquet. You can see the graduation teddy on it. 

The set up was just perfect! With the curtains behind and the christmas tree just add so much to the mood that i wanted. And i was sweaty all over setting up everything which i myself had to go in to take some photos too. Oh well.

I decided that day that i should totally go with something red. Christmas meant red and green. But my family seem to really like the idea of black and white. But my red balanced out their black, so i guess it's okay? :)

Wearing red being the odd one out. But the photo turned out really awesome! I showed dad and he really loved the lighting and the setup and our smiles. :) That's the perfect family photo that i've always dreamt of capturing. The moment.

Daddy with his sons. 

Big brother had to rush for work, so five of us took another group shot, this time with me and third brother wearing our christmas hat. 

So i guess it's the end for christmas post.

Heartsey's photoshoot. (Weird dog alert)

It's the time of the day where we (We as in me and my third brother) decided to let our dog release some energy after a long day at home. I still remember the photos were taken after my spm that day, and i quickly changed into my casual outfit, clinging onto my dslr and went out with my third brother to the nearest field near our house. She was really excited, i was too, ready to capture some images that even i didn't think of capturing.

The weather was great, the sun is being really kind to us and glad that Heartsey get to enjoy to her heart's content. I let her roam around without leash since it's around 2pm, there's no one around for her to chase, worry free, i took out my camera and ready to capture some moments.

This is a totally normal photo of her. She is just starting to get used to the field, all calm before the storm, before she goes berserk. 

Dogs can sniff sooo much better compared to human, i need not to say, of course dogs can smell better, they can smell which dog were there, pee and all the scent that they pick up. It's weird how they can smell a patch of grass for 5 minutes without getting tired. 

Here she is, possessed by the spirit of berserk dogs. Mentality ill, she ran around in high speed, circles and not stopping, her eyes were in full red. You know full moon, like when human turning into a wolf. 

I was shocked when i saw this picture. Honestly, when i pressed the shutter, i did not know what i was getting, i did not check it too, i totally amazed myself when i saw this photo. Heartsey, all ready to charge in front in high speed. 

This photo right here, she looked like a bull who saw the red cloth. Agree or agree? 

And when she finally calmed down, she started to stare into space until we pretend to chase her and she started running like mad cow again. 

i find her chewing grass more and more nowadays. 

So the grass was really warm that day, like i said around 2pm, and the grass was obviously too soft and comfortable to resist. Not knowing the term "DIRTY" she lay flat on the floor and started rolling and scrubbing her body full power against the grass. We tried to stop her of course, i mean, she bathed and smelt really nice and now she's trying to make it all go away?! 

We ran towards her and of course, dogs ran faster, they have 4 legs, so she ran to another spot, sniffed and started her rolling job again. And so we kept chasing her around the field. It was awesome experience. But tired. 

There are more photos below, i'll let you guys caption it.

 By the end of the day, this will be what you'll get.

My Macbook Air.

Okay, i've been waiting for this moment for so long! Finally my macbook arrived. Previously, i said that i wanted a pro, but then after some serious thinking and considerations, i've chosen the air. The difference between the two were always discussed by many and people couldn't make up their mind. But then after many web surfing and observations, i've chosen the MBAir. Why? Because it's lighter and way cheaper. Don't make me go into how expensive apple products are, but at the end of the day, you love what you get.

And i've gotta thank my parents and especially my dad for supporting me in getting this computer (and my mom who talked him to buy me one, thanks mom, i love you). I can now properly stream videos using a laptop (Which i've not for several years now) and finally using Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop without any lags, the screen is just absolutely stunning. I've got to thank my senior, Wang Zhang for giving me advice and telling me his personal experience of which is better and which is not. All in all, i'm a happy kid and i can't have enough of the MBAir. It's just stunning.

I almost went breathless when the package arrived. It's finally here after a long wait. And it's in front of my eye, not image, but real! Luckily my parents were not there to see my funny expression. 

I've been using it a lot for a day, downloading programs and applications. The wifi works great, though there's no ethernet port and VGA port, but it's okay. I could live with that, If you want the thinness and portability, sometimes there's things that you have to sacrifice. That's just how things work. 

The computer also has this super large trackpad, which was the mouse pad as everyone know, it's just great. Big, large, and you can do multi gestures on it. Like scroll with two fingers, change tabs with three fingers, open launch pad with four fingers (apps) and five fingers just clears away all the windows on the desktop, and then it seems so tidy. Of course i haven't figured out many stuff yet, but i will soon. There's no need for mouse anymore. Like how cool is that? You can also pinch to zoom and rotate with it. Bye bye mouse clicking! I've always had trouble rotating photos with mouse that my arms hurt.

There's some short cuts that i've to give up since using apple which is i always use backspace to go back to the previous page, but now you can't do that. And i've still not figured out what shortcut that uses, but well.

The ports on the right hand side of the macbook. 

Heartsey is actually crying because i was ignoring her over my new toy. She doesn't get it why her mom is so excited, she didn't know. She just doesn't. 

And when i put my macbook against my old acer laptop, there's just too much to say. Backlit keyboard!! HOW COOL IS THAT!?
The laptop was originally my brother's. But then he bought a new laptop, so i'm stucked with his. You can see the keys, how they turned yellow and blackish. And the heatness, it's just crazy heat!
For MBAir, you can feel the heat coming up from the top left corners, but other than that, other places are cool to the touch. i feel really great. No more burning sensation. 

There's this thing about my old laptop, it's the BLUE screen you see above. It's CRAZY. It shows up once in a while and i had to press the computer hard and sometimes smack it several times to make it disappear. 

My macbook with my ipod touch. Apple is really great at designing computers, they have really stunning designs. I don't just see appearance though, the performance is great too. Period. 

Beautiful or what? How can you resist. And the keyboard i'm typing with now is just pure awesomeness. It doesn't feel loose or squeaky like my previous laptop. AHHHH, i'm just so happy now. 

Okay, i haven't been updating because i've been waiting for my macbook to arrive to update it and now i've done it. Let me arrange my photos and i'll get back to you guys about heartsey's photoshoot and a few photos that i've gathered after spm. Soon, very soon. :)
