It’s Nice to be a Passenger
I've always been the driver most of the time, even since before my relocation from the West to East. My focus has always been on the road, and on getting myself (and the passengers) to the destination safe and sound. So, do forgive me if I have missed out details on the places even in a very common, and open →
Dragon Dance
The rain stopped, finally. Shot this in the Red Shanghai Fashion Show in Green Heights Mall sometime ago. I shot this hand held, with my 18-50mm on, focusing at 40mm. I think it would have been better if I fired flash with either 1st or 2nd curtain fill. Note: Motion blur was intended to indicate movement in this action.
The Dragon
May the great dragon calm the rain, and bring sunshine to this land in this auspicious festive season.
Chinese New Year Day 3
It's Day Three of Chinese New Year today. How has your holiday been so far? Chinese celebrates New Year for 15 days, so it's really a turn off when you gotta head back to work on the third day. Chinese New Year is usually when you spend time resting, spend time catching up with your friends and family. I'm worn out, →
Can I play, pweeasse???
How can anyone resist a PS3? :-P
Bombs Galore?
Happy New Year! Gong Xi Fa Cai! Usually an hour before the clock strikes twelve, the public funded fireworks display was already put on show. If you drive through the streets in Kuching, for a second, you might imagined yourself being in a Hollywood-produced War movie. You have the smokey air, the flashes of light from the sky, and the sound →
Happy Niu Year
Tua Pek Kong Temple, Kuching. allenang.com wishes everyone a Prosperous and Happy Niu Year! Gong Xi Fa Cai!
Pre-CNY Filler Post
Made a impromptu decision for a shoot out there last night. I just needed a break, a breather. I didn't know what to shoot, really. Randomly drove around the town, and only decided to come to this temple last minute. p/s: Still unable to do a proper update these few days.
Skyline
It's just days away before us Chinese celebrate the Lunar New Year, and I'm feeling rather random now. Hence, this random update. allenang.com serves up yet another HDR.
Red Shanghai Preview.. more
It was quite a long day for me at work. Gosh. It sure is a tiring schedule as Chinese New Year approaches. I'm posting another image from Red Shanghai show, and it isn't edited or enhanced at all. It's straight off from my camera. I used custom WB for that night, to get the correct White Balance.
Fairlady HDR
Attempted to create a HDR shot of an automobile. This HDR is made of 3 exposures, of which I shot using AEB (3 exposures). Photos were taken with my 50D + Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8, handheld.
Luxurious Ride
I suppose this is a hot wheel. Spotted this car early January. I'm not sure what model it is, but it sure is rare.
Who’s There?
Photo of the Day: EOS 50D with Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 at 46mm.
It’s Ball Time!
A week ago, I brought my gears to my weekly basketball game. I thought of experimenting something, but it didn't work out. They were all, either too camera shy, or too into basketball basketball game. Nevertheless I managed to snap some photos, as shown below: And I managed to get James and Wade for autograph! :D LOL!

Fann Wong @ the Spring – Part 1
A week ago, Fann Wong and some other local celebrities, as well as an actor from Mainland China, came visiting Kuching. It was a promotional event for Astro's Chinese New Year album 牛转乾坤, as well as for two of Astro's latest drama showing on AEC and ShuangXing (双星). This is when I was being extremely absent minded. I packed all my →

My Way
Somehow, I had tears rolling in my eyes listening to his performance. I'm really impressed by his performance. Impressed by his wide vocal range. The ever impressive Gary 曹格. I will do it, my way.

背叛 Betrayal
演唱：曹格 雨 不停落下来 花 怎麼都不开 尽管我细心灌溉 你说不爱就不爱 我 一个人 欣赏 悲哀 爱 只剩下无奈 我 一直不愿再去猜 钢琴上黑键之间 永远都夹著空白 缺了一块 就不精采 紧紧相依的心如何Say goodbye 你比我清楚还要我说明白 爱太深会让人 疯狂的勇敢 我用背叛自己 完成你的期盼 把手放开不问一句 Say goodbye 当作最後一次对你的 溺爱 冷冷清清淡淡 今後都不管 只要你 能愉快 心 有一句感慨 我 还能够跟谁对白 在你关上门之前 替我再回头看看 那些片段 还在不在 紧紧相依的心如何Say goodbye 你比我清楚还要我说明白 爱太深会让人 疯狂的勇敢 我用背叛自己 完成你的期盼 把手放开不问一句 Say goodbye 当作最後一次对你的 溺爱 冷冷清清淡淡今後都不管 只要你能愉快 紧紧相依的心如何Say goodbye 你比我清楚还要我说明白 爱太深会让人 疯狂的勇敢 我用背叛自己 完成你的期盼 把手放开不问一句 Say goodbye 当作最後一次对你的溺爱 冷冷清清淡淡今後都不管 只要你能愉快

Rynn Lim Through 350D
Here are some of the shots taken with my EOS 350D that night. All shots were taken without firing flash. Again, I relied on the performance of my 350D's ISO sensitivity as well as the stage lighting. Photos are also in random order. EXIF | Canon EOS 350D with Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 | ISO 800 | f/2.8 | 1/125 sec | 0ev →
