		<title>Strobing in Taman Metropolitan, Kepong</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week Tony invited me to a photography outing in Taman Metropolitan Kepong. I didn&#8217;t know where the hell that was, but apparently it&#8217;s a favorite spot for kite-flying and family picnics. Luckily I managed to get there without getting lost on the way&#8230; enough time to get the afternoon sun. When I arrived, the others (Tony &#38; wife, Kichi, Tini, Nabil, Nadia) were already there shooting.
I brought my light stand and SB-600 to sit among the other 4-5 speedlights. However, we didn&#8217;t use all of them. Only about 3 ...]]></description>

		<title>Strobing in Bagan Lalang Beach</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So now I have been bitten by the Strobist bug. Last weekend, me &#38; the girls went to Bagan Lalang beach with a few friends for some fun off-camera lighting shoot. It was a good experience for me, as prior to this, I only had a 3rd party slave flash to play with. I&#8217;ve got another old Vivitar 283 flash and I think I&#8217;m gonna find some ways to trigger that thing. Maybe a cheapo Cactus radio trigger would do.
These are the results from my early attempts&#8230;

		<title>the toddler</title>
		<description><![CDATA[at this exact moment, Ayra Hanna has been with us for exactly 1 year and 12 hours! I can&#8217;t believe how fast the time just flew by. Happy Birthday Ayra!

I kinda wished that Ayra was growing up at a slower pace and gave us more time to soak in her baby phase! And now she&#8217;s becoming a toddler!

		<title>Molest Motel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
When I was in San Jose, I stayed at Ramada Limited Santa Clara. It&#8217;s a motel-type accommodation, which looks like places where serial killers, drug dealers, and mistress-bangers do their dirty deeds. Of course, my observation comes from watching countless B-movies. So what kept me safe while I was staying there?

A sign on my door telling people not to molest me&#8230;

		<title>Los Angeles &amp; San Jose</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Last month I was sent to US for about 3 weeks. But this time, it wasn&#8217;t for any airport-related projects. I had some tasks in a couple of Malaysian government agency offices in Los Angeles and San Jose. It was really tough to leave my family again&#8230; I don&#8217;t know if I can cope with long-term overseas assignments again. Yup&#8230; with a baby daughter at home, anything more than 2 weeks can be considered long-term. I can&#8217;t imagine what it would be like if I&#8217;m one of those travelling folks ...]]></description>
