Flowers v1

after a week of going out alot, it's nice to have a little normalcy again :)

Tiramisu

3rd time making tiramisu, decided to take photos of it now, it's abit messy though cause i sprinkled too much cocoa powder but it still somewhat kick ass

It's like falling in love all over again.

Over the pass 2 weeks, i've gotten to know my d300 a bit better. How to use her better, which buttons to press, customization. somehow, she's so similar yet she has this depth that my d70s didn't have. she's definitely faster, more robust, features that i've come to like about her. her body is just right in proportion, the buttons mostly placed at the correct places.yet, she's not without her flaws, with some things that i wished was customizable or the fact that the flash button is abit hard to reach. i guess as with all relationships, we have to take what's good and live with what's not. i know it's going to be a rough ride ahead but i also know it's gonna be filled with joy and fun experiences...

enough of that crap and on to a few updates, dinner at one of the malay guys place at gifu university, sad that he and his family is leaving, they have 3 wonderful and playful kids :P

the odd picture of me...

the eldest sibling
the 2nd
and the youngest.a slight fever but she was still so active!


p.s: it's super sunday! and i really feel this week is going to define arsenal's league outcome. beat chelsea and they'll be on course to win the league. a lose would be bad, a draw and man u beating liverpool wouldn't be good either.

先輩の卒業式

my senior's graduation day. i didn't hesitate at all to use ISO1600 this time :P










that's my p.e teacher who'll be leaving. he's one funny dude.

Carlsberg

one of the best places i visited in denmark was the carlsberg factory,and i must say, denmark truly makes fine beer, even better than japan.carlsberg owns many brands from tuborg to becks and their micro brewery, jacobsens is truly a gem :)

this ends my europe trip, finally.................

Ume Part II

The tale of 2 wives

The moment I laid my eyes on her, I knew she would be the one. When i touched her, the curves were just right and it's like i've known her my whole life. Younger, more abled and definitely more tech savvy than my 1st wife, how could i resist? Papers were drawn up and we're kind of separated now. I still love my 1st wife, without her i wouldn't be where i am now, she's been with me through the good and bad times but i think the time is right to go our own ways now.

Goodbye my d70s, i'm sure your new owner will be just as nice and will be able to push you to your limits. Welcome d300 and may we create many beautiful shots in the years ahead. 1st impression shots are as below. even though u've emptied my bank, my pockets, i still think u're worth every single yen.

Kronburg Castle

Easily Denmark's best castle.

that is Sweden!

My first japanese bottle of wine

bought this on my one day trip to nagano, had a sip and pretty much enjoyed. only about 1200yen , so it's not expensive at all. still yet to open the bottle but soon i guess :)my simple studio set up :D

a bit of an update

i'm on hols now but i still needa study, turn up for research meets and so on. hopefully i have time to shoot more pictures too and i do wanna finish ssbb.. get all the trophies, if possible! and i'm seriously considering upgrading, the price of a d300 is just quite ridiculous now..5100 in japan and stock readily available.it's nearly 6k back home!

i've been watching 30 rock alot lately and i find tina fey so so funny and sexy( though she's 37) and alec baldwin is just amazing. i've never seen this side of him and it actually gives me hope when he plays the dad in my sister's keeper.

a few more pictures.going to kronburg castle. playing cards inside the train and i must the trains are sweet sweet sweeeeeeetttttttt. seats are so so nice , there's an earphone jack for radio and tables! my sis says its normal for intercity trains in europe but in japan, u'd hafta be in a tokyu densha for this kinda service ^___^
the early sun of 1st jan :P

UP YOURS!

When Arsenal drew with Aston Villa last weekend, the attacks were coming in. Media hounded the team, claiming there was dissent in the club, the pressure was creeping in on a young inexperienced team and cesc & co responded to the world with a masterclass display against the old champions!

youth vs experience was the theme and youth triumphed! Arsenal are now the first English side to beat Milan at San Siro. i must admit that i had my doubts and that i couldn't get a decent live feed only added to my fears. the referee was pretty biased ( hleb shouldn't haven't been booked for diving) and there was a few miss chances against a superb Milan backline. but but but, cesc came of age today, stepped up and broke the deadlock in the late 80s.cesc and flamini ran the show in the midfield, and special praise for flamini as he kept kaka out of his game. flamini shut him out so bad that he got frustrated and got rightly booked for unsporting behaviour. our back 4 did their job and ade harrased milan's aging defence. ade caused problems from the left flank to the centre and helped out defensively as well. wenger did the right move for once for bringing in walcott for eboue. walcott's pace was decisive in the build up to the 2nd goal.

so, up yours to everyone who say's Arsenal's cracking. They deserve credit. i'm not getting into my head over this result and this weekend's match will be as important and tough. and hopefully people wouldn't have thought me crazy when i thought Arsenal would win the EPL from day 1 :D

Skating is free in Denmark!
