First and foremost, Happy New Years 2009 everyone! Hope you had an awesome time in 2008, an awesomer time at New Year's Eve, and the awesomest time in the year ahead!
As you can clearly see, I was back in KL to do a spot of partying, a spot of R&R, and a spot of photography, if you can believe that. Figured I'd stuff my bag full of clothing rather than photography items, I gambled on just bringing my D300 body and 50mm f/1.4D, as my main target was to do another shoot with my fave model there. And I've worked out a booking with Ted Adnan and Barebones Studio so I have my shooting space and lighting gear ready when I got there, so I have the opportunity of utilizing a bigger shooting space, without having to lug my heavy lightstands around, as my backpack is heavy enough, and finally get a chance to meet one of the region's Strobist heroes.
My travel was not without it's perils. The boat, Seri Anna, taking me to Labuan disembarked so late and travelled so slow that by the time I reached Labuan terminal, I was literally already late for check-in at the AirAsia counter at Labuan Airport. Got out of the terminal, I whistled for a cab and when it came near The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror. If anything I could say that this cab was rare, but I thought, "Nah, forget it. Yo, holmes to Bel-Air!" I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8 and I yelled to the cabbie, "Yo holmes smell ya later!" Looked at my kingdom I was finally there, to sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-Air.
...sorry, sorry... Internet meme... Had to do it...
Anyway I whistled for a cab, got in as fast as I could, paid him double so he could get me to the airport within like, 5 minutes, jumped out when I got there, ran to the counter. I asked what the closing time for the counter was, and he said, "9:45"; the exact time I have on my watch. The same kinda thing happened as well when I was going to KLIA's LCCT. Finished the shoot quite late at 4pm, while my flight was supposed to be 6pm. Ted's studio was in Kajang. KLIA was quite a ways away. Traffic was jammed.
Under the predicament at hand, the model need not send me to LCCT, she was late for an appointment anyway. But she sent me still anyway, getting lost in the process. And people wonder why she's my favourite model... Well fortunately that's the end of my perilous journey to KL. Hopefully in the near future, I'd pick out far better travel arrangements so as not to stress myself out during my supposed R&R session.
Anyway, here's an ubiquitous shot of Petronas Twin Towers at night. I'll post other shots soon. Again, limiting myself to one lens is quite a good exercise in getting the shooting cobwebs out. More shots to come soon!

I'm pleased to announce the launch of the mobile version of StupidLogic.com. Just head on to http://m.stupidlogic.com on your mobile to get the mobile version of this website, complete with smaller photos for faster loading, and a page formatted for your mobile. If your phone has a QR Code reader, like my Nokia E71's barcode tool, the QR Code for my mobile site is here.
For iPhone and iPod Touch users, head on to http://iphone.stupidlogic.com for a page specifically formatted for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
Speaking of iPhone interfaces, you can surf on to http://m.flickr.com/photos/stupidlogic to surf through my Flickr photostream on your iPhone and mobiles as well. While a bit heavy for a mobile site, it is quite nifty to have a neat and clean mobile interface to Flickr now. Previous versions didn't have a Fave mechanism for instance.

Didn't manage to find the smiley back on Monday, but at least I've taken this photo on the preceding Saturday. Anyway, watch this space. I'm starting to get an interest in astrophotography, so more cool stuff soon.

But I really need to get more photos that are ok to be posted up here. As most of my recent shoots are with models who are a bit shy to have their photos up on the internets, I guess there's no choice, but I have to start doing some after work treks soon. I need to lose some post-post-post-Raya weight as well in preparation for our upcoming epic and legend... wait for it...
...dary adventure which is coming soon enough.

A light drizzle greeted us from our slumber last Sunday, which was to be our biggest trekking outing for the Forum members. Doubts were cast, wondering if the rain will persist the whole day, and if the weather would clear just about enough to permit us to go nature trekking up into the hills of Wasai Wong Kadir. A quick drive over to HSBC Jerudong, where the decision to go ahead or not was to be made; quick glances on all the faces to see if any disapproval to go ahead for the drive over to Labi, somehow, we all just loaded up into the transports, and a non verbal agreement was made to decide later after the drive over the the state borders.
After the drive down to Sungai Liang to meet up with the KB chapter of our forumites, the light rain still persisted. I proclaimed I'm going up regardless, and if everyone's still up for a trek in the rain, we go ahead; and anyone who decides against it can sit it out. Almost all were in for it, seeing we just had a long drive over, might as well. After a quick prayer, we set out slowly, meandering through the slippery trails, over branches, on slippery moss covered rocks, in the light rain, with the cool surrounding air the whole time we were there.
After a good 30 minutes trek, we were greeted by the cool water of the Wasai, and some of the Forumites decide to reward themselves with a dip. Hardly anyone could resist taking even dipping their feet into the cool morning water, and under the guise of 'taking a good composition for the photo', yours truly went with tripod in hand into the water to take a couple of photos.
It was worth it.
