I have planned this once i bought it. Today, the first place i want to go is the ZOO NEGARA 'lah'. i have accompanied by 'bluMAsk'. Thanks ya for bringing me there!

Kami tiba kat zoo negara dalam tengahari. Matahari dah terpacak atas kepala. Namun, semangat guna camera baru punya pasal, panas pun panas lah. As Long boleh buat photo shooting!

Lepas masuk jer pintu gerbang Zoo Negara tu, kami memilih untuk berjalan kaki je! Terus ke 4 sekawan giraffe ni...Aku tak boleh nak zoom dan shoot dekat-dekat sebab lensa aku bukannya jenis tele! tapi, dapat gak lah shoot some interesting picture(for me lah).



Kemudian, kita orang g shoot kat haiwan ni... Luckily this bird doesn't walked away.


Hmmm...sempat gak bird ni posing ya....


Picture ni guna manual mode. Technically, i am trying to practice on how to make Depth Of Field!Tak susah sebenarnya kalau anda faham which ISO to be used. Aperture macamana yang diperlukan. Emph... Banyak ilmu fotografi nak kena cerita. Ada banyak gambar menarik yang boleh saya kongsi disini, tapi masa tak banyak untuk saya upload semua gambar. A picture will tell thousand stories.

Seronok sungguh hari ni. Dapat gak aku g beli DSLR camera (Canon EOS 450D)! Itu lah azam akhir tahun baru. Dah 3 minggu baut research, which one yang compatible dan senang untuk aku aku guna! Call sana - sini! tanya pendapat kengkawan yang well-known dengan kamera-kamera nih. Finally, aku buat decision to get this as my first professional camera! DSLR camera (Canon EOS 450D). memang first time guna, agak sukar. However, trust me... daripada guna fine n shoot camera. Baik aku guna something advance!



LUCKILY, THERE'S SOME FRIEND YANG SANGGUP TURUN PADANG FOR SUPPORTING ME!
THANKS GUYS...

Ni sumer, rerakan yang banyak gak bg dorongan tuk teruskan hidup! Ada sorang member ni, tapi tak boleh lah nk attach pics nya...worried dia tak suka plak!



ni first shoot kat kedai... tengah compare which is the best!

THE LEGEND OF GUNUNG LEDANG

Gunung Ledang, also known as Mount Ophir, is said to been the home of the legendary Princess 'Puteri Gunung Ledang', a magical princess who were able to transform herself into 100 looks. The Sultan of Malacca had heard of her beauty and wanted to marry her.




On 25th December 2008, i've spent my holiday by joining this group (known as Jenjarum Outdoor Club a.k.a J.O.C)to a budget trip which is costed me about 100.00 Ringgit Malaysia. As i have been inform by the trip leader, Mr. Halil and his wife; these trip took about 3 days. We have met at Kuala Lumpur Central Station around 9 p.m. The trip with the train tooks about 2hr. Then, we slept at Segamat Bus Station until in the morning.



We departed from the small town at 8 pM. We reach the ophir's Village after 10p.m. Actually, 9.



We were taking a 4x4 from the small town to get in to The Basecamp! I haven't experienced this before. After half an hour arranging our luggage and backpack get over the truck, we are ready to get there as soon as possible!



Finally, We were there! See this picture? this is what i meant with "Warm welcome"...












Well, my tent is the yellow one! It is supposed for 3 person. However, only me and my backpack are fit to it! LOL! It is time to get rest and enjoyed the nature!

We were starting this hiking program in the morning of 27th December. The trail is a bit challenging. We have to walk along the road before getting in the Jungle entrance! Haha. Damn it. We took about 30 minutes to get there.

I just have nothing to say as my intention to go for hiking is TO ENJOYING THE VIEW OF A MOTHER NATURE. Even though,i am facing a little problem such as forgot to bring an extra battery and the charger for my DC E800. It is my camera Digital. As a result, there's too many nice view which i cant captured. SO, DO NOT FORGET TO BRING YOUR OWN BATTERY CHARGER AND AN EXTRA BATTERY IN CASE YOUR Li-Thium ion BATERRY OUT OF POWER.
HYDRATION SALT

Hiking might be tiring. However, u have to prepare yourself with some supplement to recover your energies. As for me, i didn't bring the 100 plus as the other does. What i do is, i am bringing 20 PACKET OF HYDRATION SALT. You know why? Once u go for heavy activities, you might loss your bodies liquid which is one one of your energies sources. To recover this, what you can do is: mixed on this hydration salt with a bottle of water and just drink it! Now, your energies will recover!

2nd thing is, hydration salt is a very useful stuff to be pack in your large luggage. If u had a vormitted because food poisoning, diarrhea or etc, this H.Salt will totally useful for you! i have to explain to one of my friends who go for this trip. This guy had climbed some of the mount in Malaysia as i don't. I am expected he might know more compare to myself!

A HAND GLOVE

dON'T FORGET TO BRING A PAIR OF HAND GLOVE. There's maybe a lot of barrier during walking up the track to the summit. You may walk in between of the rock, holding your backpack. Your hand might be injured if there's nothing cover your hand palms. I had this experience, which the situation is i have to transfer our backpack from the low level to the top. Luckily, i am using the hand glove for cover my hand when i pulled up the heavy backpack!

Back to the trip journal, i had a lot of great - great - great time MIXED UP WITH OTHER PEOPLE AS IT MAKE ME GROW TO A MATURED MAN AND TO GAIN AN EXPERIENCES!

We were spending about 3 hours at the summit. And reached the based camp about 4 hours. It is almost a night time!

DON'T FORGET TO STUDY OUT THE PLACE YOU ARE GOING! AS I DO, I'VE BEEN TELLING THAT AT THE SUMMIT OF THIS MOUNT; THEY HAVE THE TELEKOM TOWER! BEFORE I AM LEAVING HOME, I HAVE BRING MY LAPTOP AND A WIRELESS MODERM. hAHAHAHA...SO' I CAN ALWAYS
STAY CONNECTED!

HARI NI ada app dgn ex-roomate d ikbn dulu. Tapi, cuaca tak bagus... Hujan di sebelah petang. Terpaksa cancel app kerana aku dah separuh kebasahan on-a-half-way ke stesen komuter nilai. Damn! Aku pulang dengan wadi ke Kota warisan. Dia dah gerak awal ke rumah. Aku je yang masih lagi lepak-lepak di Randau cafe. Hujan belum reda. Pada mulanya, niat aku nak menggunakan perkhidmatan wi-fi di sana. Tetapi, sambungan wi-fi semasa hujan tak begitu baik. Jadi, aku hanya sempat menikmati Hot-chocolate cadbury disana. Malam itu, tak dapat tidur nyenyak.

Pulau Perhentian

Pulau Perhentian sememangya destinasi yang mesti dikunjungi. Pulau ini terletak 21km dari pinggir pantai Terengganu dan terbahagi kepada dua iaitu Pulau Perhentian Besar dan Pulau Perhentian Kecil. Pulau Perhentian yang dilitupi hutan yang bersih, pepohon kelapa, pantai yang putih dengan pasir yang halus dan dikelilingi air laut yang biru dan jernih merupakan tempat persinggahan nelayan, burung-burung yang berhijrah dan pelancong yang datang bercuti di sini.

Lokasinya di pinggiran kawasan Taman Laut Pulau Redang bermakna perairan di sekitar pulau ini ditaburi terumbu karang dan menawarkan pemandangan bawah laut yang hebat untuk aktiviti menyelam skuba dan snokel. Lawatan bot ke pulau-pulau boleh diaturkan dan bot juga boleh disewa oleh pelancong yang ingin meneroka teluk-teluk yang terselindung. Pelancong yang gemarkan aktiviti meluncur papan air, belayar, berkenu dan memancing laut-dalam juga mesti berkunjung ke pulau ini.

Antara dua pulau ini, Pulau Perhentian Kecil lebih sesuai untuk pelancong yang gemar aktiviti lasak. Di sini anda boleh mendapatkan pelbagai pilihan tempat penginapan dan makanan yang murah. Sebaliknya, Pulau Perhentian Besar, lebih membangun dan menawarkan kemudahan yang lebih selesa dan sempurna. Walau bagaimanapun, kemudahan calet, asrama dan tapak perkhemahan boleh di dapati di kedua-dua buah pulau ini.

Tips

Untuk melihat pemandangan matahari terbenam yang paling mempesona di Pulau Perhentian, tuju ke Coral View Island Resort dan pesan minuman yang sejuk segar dari café di sini dan nikmati pemandangan yang memikat hati ini.

Pengangkutan

Jalan Darat Dari Kuala Terengganu, naiki teksi atau bas ke pelabuhan Kuala Besut. Pelabuhan ini terletak kira-kira sejam perjalanan di utara bandar Kuala Terengganu. Jeti untuk ke Pulau Perhentian terletak di sini. Jalan Laut Di Kompleks Perikanan, naiki bot yang menuju ke Pulau Perhentian. Perjalanan bot ke pulau ini memakan masa selama satu jam.

Alhamdulillah, dapat juga aku tidur nyeyak semalaman. Sejak seminggu yang lau, aku mengalami kesukaran membuang kahak. Nak kata demam tak juga, tapi batuk dan selesema ini sering mengganggu aku! Mujur semalam aku berpeluang untuk pergi ke klinik panel selepas tamat waktu bertugas.

Selepas aku mengambil dos yang dibenarkan, aku leka membuat photo shooting untuk model-model aksi permainan animasi WarCraft atau Dota.
Hampir berselerak bilik utama milik abangku. Tak mengapa. Aku juga tertidur kepenatan. Tersedar pun, apabila nyamuk menggigit badan di sekitar jam 3 pagi.

Lewat jam 11 pagi, aku bangkit dari tidur. Selalunya kalau aku tak bekerja shift 3 p.m – 11 p.m, aku lebih gemar bersiram di dalam bilik mandi serta jam berikutnya aku akan memasak di dapur. Memang rutin aku begitu. Memandangkan aku seorang yang punya kemahiran memasak, wajiblah abang aku goyang kaki di rumah. Maknanya, aku hanya memasak bila abang aku berada di rumah.

Selepas selesai solat jumaat, aku lena di hadapan t.v. Setelah hampir maghrib baru aku tersedar. Sebelum menjelang isyak, banyak aktiviti mengubah suai gambar dalam komputer riba yang kulakukan. Aku juga membuat sedikit ulangkaji bersama-sama buku ’principles of cooking’. Itu bertujuan untuk mencari idea-idea untuk hidangan pagi di hotel tempat aku bekerja! Sebentar lagi, aku akan bersiap untuk bekerja. Itulah rutin aku bila menjelang shift malam.

5hb Dec - masa g kl, ajak jumpa kawan-kawan sebilik masa belajar kat ikbn dulu. Wah... memasing dah bekerja, termasuk lah aku. Aku nka attach gambar kat sini tapi tak sempat lagi! Lain kali eh? Tapi memang syok, sebab dapat lah jumpa machaRUDIN dengan si PLiPPER!
