Anniversary prayers
Was back in Taiping last weekend to observe anniversary prayers for father at the Buddhist temple. He had a passion for football. When I was small he often took me to watch live matches at the Esplanade. And later it was teh tarik & roti canai at the mamak shop on Market Road. Wonder if they are screening the world cup matches at his new residence....

Nikkor AF 85mm f/1.8D
Got hold of this 85mm lens last week. Had been itching for it for awhile. Said to be a good portrait lens, sharp at all apertures and a nice bokeh. Not much time to really test the lens but the initial shots taken hold promise. These shots were taken wide open at f/1.8 using available light at ISO800....

Peter's birthday at Avanti
My brother Peter treated us to a nice meal at Avanti, an Italian restaurant in the Sunway Hotel last Saturday night. Nice ambience and the food was good! A Filipino quartet was going round the tables serenading the diners. Seems a favourite hangout for people celebrating their birthdays. No less than 4 or 5 rounds of birthday greetings were heard! Thanks bro! Happy birthday!

Had an Argentinian malbec & later a merlot....

KL International Motor Show
I was there last night with Hamzah, a photo buddy, to capture the cars on display there. We ended up shooting more models than cars! As I've sold the Sigma 70-300 to a friend from PhotoMalaysia, had to make do with the D70s kit lens. With a 18-70mm range, it was sufficient for the event.
