AK 5110

AK 5110 is a flight no. of mine which should depart from KUL at 7pm which just in time for me to capture sunset from 30,000 feet. But then, the ehem-ehem airline retimed the flight to 10.30 am which means flat out sky (photographically speaking). Anyway, I took some photos because I can't sleep onboard, you know, I have ADD.

The early bird

Speeding on the runway at the speed of 140+ knots. That was the observation hill which is only commonly known to avid plane spotters.

Soon, the compressed metal tube took off

Flying over Kota Warisan

At flight level 330 or 33,000 feet. The cloud was just awesome

During may and jun this year, I took a freelance work for TuneHotels KK. And here it is published in the AirAsia inflight magazine.

Photobucket
There was less than 100 people onboard (full capacity is 180), so I got the whole row for myself

Trying to take some artsy fartsy photo

Photobucket
I'm still perfecting the art of camwhoring at the toilet mirror

Photobucket
I wrote about putting advertisement on the overhead bin in the plane before, guess what, AirAsia has already started putting advertisement.. in front of the passenger's face, literally..

Photobucket
Running around and snapping some photos

Photobucket
That's Sibu for you, at least according to the co-pilot

Photobucket
This one I'm sure it's Labuan, the land where the car, chocolate and booze are super cheap

Descending and preparing for landing

The new KKIA terminal at the right and the soon to-be (oh wait, it's already been) demolished old terminal

Roman Holiday part 2

Right after I arrived at KLIA, the first place I visit was the Anjung Tinjau of course ! The first thing I saw at the tarmac...

Photobucket
The lonely boy..

Photobucket
Then I managed to capture my favourite aircraft, Boeing 777 which was preparing for a long haul flight to somewhere.. This photo managed to tell the story of how busy the ground crew were preparing the aircraft before it can leave the ground.

Photobucket
The triple 7 started the pushback.. In case you are wondering whether aircraft can go-a-stern (common joe pronounced it gos-stan) or commonly known as reverse, NO it can not. It's always being pushed by a small tow-truck.

Photobucket
Ready to face the world, the economy recession, the global warming, bla bla bla...

Photobucket
KLIA night view

Then I turned the focus knob to manual and turn everything out-of-focus, and guess what I get ?

Photobucket
It kinda reminds me of the gossip girl entry frame..

Each time during the end of Nov, Lawrence will go back to his hometown which is the lovely town (or city? I'm not sure) of Kota Kinabalu. For your information, Kota Kinabalu is in Sabah and Sabah is in Malaysia. AND Singapore is NOT Malaysia. Anyway, it all started with the packing, which in the past I've spent around 3 hours to pack my stuffs and wondering whether I need to bring this and that back. Which in the end I ended up paying blood-sucking airline for overweight baggage. So, this time I'm determined to pack light and hopefully will not be charged with overweight baggage.

My table before packing and clearing up

Photobucket
My table after packing and clearing up, the time taken was only 1 hour! Hooray for Lawrence!

Then off I go to KL Sentral to take bus to KLIA to spend a night there admiring those huge metal tubes, and the colourful runway lights. There I was in the bus, with my camera, and a few passengers sitting in front, so what will Lawrence do ?

Photobucket
Camwhore! The emo look

Photobucket
The crazy-face look which the camera refused to focus on me

Photobucket
The checking-out-the-girl-across-the-aisle look

Photobucket
Long exposure shot on the way to airport

Will be continued...

p.s. : This post was written in KLIA using KLIA wifi and KLIA's electricity. haha..

p.p.s. : The title of this post "Roman Holiday" was inspired by the movie Roman Holiday.

C3 @ CHC

The band CCC or C3 or Christian City Church from Australia came to CHC KL for a one night only concert. So, I do not want to miss out this chance, I took my camera and off I went with Vincent. Well, I didn't take much photos, but I somehow managed to press the shutter a few times, so I can post to my blog. The concert was awesome, Joe Pringle (worship leader) has really great voice. 2 hours felt like really short, but I guess when you are enjoying, the time felt like flying past you by at Mach 2. Anyway, here are some photos..

Photobucket
Don't you feel it looks like the iTunes, iPhone, iTouch interface ?

That's all !

Light show - Jason Lo

In the midst of the exam season, I managed to deviate my attention and playing around with the virtual light controller. I realised that the last time I was daydreaming when I made a light show for Coldplay - Yellow and I expect they will hire me to become their lighting designer for their next world tour.. who are you kidding lawrence ?

Anyway, this time I put my attention into something local, nearer, and realistic than Coldplay. This time, I made the light show for Jason Lo with his song, "Operator the line is dead". I hope Jason Lo will start making music again, and do some tour or concert, and he can hire me as his concert lighting designer. Hehe.. Oh yeah, here's the video, enjoy!

On another note, I found an indonesian band which got me hooked now, the band is called Alexa. This is one of their song, called Jangan Kau Lepas. The music video is quite amazing I have to say (compared to those of Malaysian artists,ugrh..), and quite touching near the end where the old man was playing violin to the photo of his wife. That just makes you go "ohh.."

Random updates

Being in the final exam season, the thing that REALLY distract your attention the most is the computer (and facebook). In order for me to concentrate on my studies, I put a really cool wallpaper on my computer (by cool i mean really potong stim kinda wallpaper).

Photobucket

On another note, I've finished recording a song, on my computer using Acoustica Mixcraft. It's a really great software for indie artists. What happens next, she will decide.
