When Quality control screening a must

19 April 2012 at 11:48 am » Comments (0)

One of many reasons that before any product release regardless it is an app or an ad or a website, it must be screened through by a QC/QA (that’s Quality Control / Quality Assurance for the uninitiated) team. It may look trivial for small projects  but  making it a practice to run through a QC/QA will [...]



It’s 5 years already?

29 March 2012 at 4:36 pm » Comments (1)

Well what can I say, I’m moving on to a new organisation. Today marks 5 years (ok ok ok, 4 years and 11 months) of giving away my blood and sweat into this e-learning education provider. If you peeps are reading this, you know it’s true.
It has been a great journey in retrospect; picking or [...]

Cracking my back again

9 January 2012 at 12:09 pm » Comments (1)

What a way to start the first day of work (officially office starts today but I’ve been working since last week) in 2012! I hurt my back last weekend when I was (again) lifting and stuffing my brand new bicycle into the car. The pain initially was not present until yesterday morning.It was so intense [...]



Shuffling in my office space during Christmas break

4 January 2012 at 2:33 pm » Comments (0)

I usually opted to work during my office’s official Christmas break (a.k.a close down period) in between late December and early January.
Some of many reasons to do so:

I can save up my annual leave for something else better since going out for holidays during these crazy peak seasons ain’t worth it.
I can concentrate on my work without a [...]



Timelapse in a residential kitchen

14 December 2011 at 10:00 am » Comments (0)

Another experiment on the timelapse and the photoshoot was done at my colleague’s kitchen. This time, it’s rendered under 24 frames per second hence the motion is smoother.
Post production for the photos are edited in Adobe Photoshop CS4 under video mode. I didn’t have Adobe Premiere but the Photoshop CS4 seems to support timelapse and [...]



Office 360 degrees panoramic view

24 November 2011 at 11:11 am » Comments (0)

Another experiment for the day.  And today’s experiment is  a 360 degrees panoramic view of my office with my mobile phone. I was thinking to use this idea as a template material for my organisation’s upcoming content development. Or perhaps a virtual tour video.

I used my Samsung Galaxy S2 camera and took a 360 degrees of snapshots [...]



Timelapse in a commercial kitchen

28 October 2011 at 11:06 am » Comments (0)

I was lucky to have a photoshoot offsite and to continue my experiments with timelapse. This time it’s a commercial kitchen.
This is also my first time mucking around with panning a timelapse shot. It was awful; my timing is so off and my cheapo tripod is clunky hence the not-so-smooth panning.



Late night work photoshoot = edgy mind

Had a offsite photoshoot till 10pm yesterday. When you get too tired of it, you’d start thinking something else besides work.
FPS gamer + photography + tiring day = pyscho mode



Why food photography is sooooo rewarding

…because I get to eat the cooked food and keep the rest! Muahaha
Well, at the same I learnt some cooking skills (and secrets!) from the chefs



A Sleepy Friday

2 August 2011 at 4:18 pm » Comments (0)

Taking stock photos is part of my job and sometimes it is fun. This time it’s an offsite photoshoot in a kitchen, courtesy of a colleague of mine. While my team is preparing themselves with the recipes and procedures, I took some shots of Raz, my colleague’s quiet pet dog, which is obviously patiently waiting for free treats [...]

Work and Personal development

11 May 2011 at 12:42 pm » Comments (0)

As I’m being employed to an organisation for a long period of time, there is always room for personal/work development. Over time, new things appear and you’ll start in pursuit for such new technology and skills. Something to improve one’s skillset or work knowledge so that oneself can improve one’s contributions to an organisation. Having [...]



Miscommunication or epic fail?

One of many frustrations we IT professionals have to face is miscommunication or misinformation. The outcome has a ripple effect; small insignificant misiplaced information will tend to produce a big crack in the project. It gets worse if the crack starts from the begining of the project life cycle. And yours truly have the honour to experience such eventful moments [...]



Owning iPhone 4 brings in business!

Update: Now, most of them have ported from the iPhone 3Gs to the brand new  spanking iPhone 4, it is time to show off to those who are underprivileged.
I am ”pleased” that iPhone4 has arrived for the “devoted” and “deserving” staff members in the office. With it, we shall have plenty of business/sales coming in and [...]
