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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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.

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

…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

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

As the official photographer for the company, I am obliged tol answer any requests from the higher ups, should it be inhouse or offsite jobs. Today marks the last offsite video and photoshoot for this year and today it is my third visit at Holmesglen TAFE. Our subject is the process of making pastries. What [...]

Received an email announcement this morning about a series of staff that will be absent from work. One of them was:
Mr X work from home until 1pm then on A/L time rest of day
Sounds like a full day annual leave to me.

A colleague of mine has a series of allergies; he reacts badly to tomatoes and potatoes. From what I heard should he ingest one of these items, he’ll have rashes or inflammation in his throat or something like that. Probably large quantities would prove fatal. When my office treats us lunches with traces of tomatoes, [...]
