CNY 2012 is Over! Valentine’s Next-up!

How did you celebrate your CNY? What was the best moment for you? For me, I had one of the best times celebrating it with family and friends! Last year, I didn’t enjoy much, so this year I made sure I got the best out of it =D So, here’s some shots to share with you what happened during CNY (you can also see my previous post on CNY celebration):

Gathering with Highschool mates:

I find it almost unbelievable that it’s been 7 years since we left highschool!
7 years already!

FOOD~!!

Lou Sang!

Preparation of Steamboat dinner

Desserts and after-meal chit-chat

Snappy snap snap

 

Gathering with Bloggers:

We played card on Jackie’s newly built balcony!
*It’s kinda dark and eerie if you’re the only one there*

There’s not many shots, ‘cause it’s dark..
but there’s some takes on after-game and Samuel counting his win! *pfft~!*
What a sore-winner! =P

 

Gathering with Neighbor:

I focused too much on eating, and totally forgotten about everything else…
hahahaha *shy away*

 

Chap Goh Mei:

Fun thing to do eh?
Too bad I didn’t go to the nearest river…
Would love to see the faces of the people who sees this =P

 

So that’s practically what I did during CNY…
Enough about that (since it’s over).. Let’s talk about the next soon-to-be-happening thing!!

Valentine’s Day is coming in a week’s time!!

So what’s your plan?

 

Btw the dog’s Patrick… Shot him for fun while being in a slow drive..
So, who could possibly be the recipient of the valentine’s gift box?!
What’s in the box?!

Could it be her? jeng jeng jeng…
That’s a mystery for now

 

Wanna know more?

Stay tune…

I’ll leave you with this! =P
”Jeffro d Afro is in town!”

News Print Still Going Strong

I was listening to BFM radio this morning when I heard Phillip Karuppiah (CEO of TheMalayMail) talking about some insights in regards to his company. They set to release their renewed news prints (prints and online) coming 30th January 2012. They'll be kicking off at RM1.00 per copy. I think that's a pretty fair and competitive price as compared to TheStar (selling from RM1.20 per copy).

According to Phillip, there's still a need for the prints and it won't die off that easily. Even with the online heat, hard copy is still preferred by many, especially those that goes for morning coffee. Honestly, I think that's pretty true. No matter how good things are in the Net, nothing beats good ol' school hard copy print outs. I'd still prefer to sit at a cafe browsing mags or papers, over eReading on smart devices. It may not be as quickly updated as the online content, but one thing's for sure is that what's printed stays printed, and can't be altered. And it's already printed (like duh~!) so I just need to keep a copy of it, rather than trying to find a printer when I need one.

As how print ads are still ongoing, I think newspapers regardless of which it is, will continue to stay strong, so long the content is compelling, factual, non-biased and perhaps opinionated (Personally, I think it's good to display one's perspective and views on a certain event or occasion, rather than just publishing what everyone else is publishing).

"As the world progresses digitally, the needs for analogue material keeps growing at the same time." DSLR vs Film / Polaroids, Wireless vs Wired, Email vs Post Mail, eNews vs Newspaper, & etc.

Conclusion: news print (like any other analogue materials) will inevitably continue on and will grow stronger in demand.



Enough of my thoughts, what's your take on this? Are you pro-digital news or are you still hooked up on the good newspaper prints? Share with me!

CNY 2012 1st Day!

As always, CNY 1st Day is dedicated to family members and relatives, but what makes it different is that I have my baby Luxian w/ me as part of the new family member! I guess it’s because of her, there’s a post on CNY =D (my DSLR is too heavy and bulky for quick P&S (Point&Shoot)). So, let’s check out how my 1st Day of CNY is =P

Breakfast!

Yummey! The same breakfast every year, and it taste awesome each time! =D
Mouth-watering delicacy! =P

 

My mum and sis

 

Here’s the star baby of the day!
Jaden’s the name, attraction is what he gained!
(P.s: That’s not the mother)

 

More of Jaden
(P.s: She’s his mum)

Initially this was silhouette but after some tweak and adjustments,
I managed to add colors and tone it up =D
*proudly shines*

 

See what I mean?
He’s like here and there from one pair of arms to another!

 

Afternoon!

Saw this at Sunway - what an awesome display!
*Woaaaahhh~~*

 

Dinner!

Muahahaha, FOOD FOOOD FOOOOD!!
Truth be told, I think I gained much here!

 

GrandAunt, Cousins, Uncle & Aunty, Mum & Sis, and me of course!
eating CNY 1st dinner together =)

Other relatives arrived shortly after we finished our dinner =)

 

Here comes the star baby of the night!
Stealing away (my) crowd’s attention

 

“Sorry Girls, Daddy says I can’t date until I’m 28!”
Wicked cool tee!!
Awwww.. poor lil’ girl have to wait until he’s 28 =P

 

Baby seems to be taken away by gadgets…
nowadays, all babies are like that too, aren’t they?

I know a kid that is so used to an iPad, when shown a laptop, was practically calling the device stupid…
”This thing stupid wan, cannot swipe!”
Dafuq?!

 

Well, that’s my 1st day of CNY…
Pretty exciting, I’d say =D

 

So, how was yours?
