The Burning Moon

I was attracted by this splendid scene while looking through my windows this evening. It must be very windy up there, can you see the difference of the clouds? They looks beautiful while being illuminated by the moon, aren't they?

I took the opportunity to experiment the white balance settings of my camera.
1. Auto - I don't really fond of this as it always gives a dull effect
2. Shade - my all time favourite as it provides a warm feeling
3. Cloudy - never used it before, but it really gave me a surprise this time
4. Incandescent- rarely use this as it tends to make everything blue

All in all, I like the illusion of the burning moon very much. Feel great to be able to snapped it down and shared with you all. Besides, I am also happy with the outcome of combining the four, and also the contrast created by the cubical building below. :)

The Challenge
It is not easy to shoot photos during night as it is too dark and hence the shutter speed is slower which could lead to handshaking and blurry images. While not having tripod with me, I grabbed whatever (chair, box, book, puncher, cellphone, etc.) in my room that could be used as replacement. It was a racing game with the clouds as they changed swiftly and sometimes I have to wait for a few minutes when the moon was covered totally. Patience is needed for photography! :)

The Misunderstanding
It seemed like my act of shooting had somehow alerted the people staying opposite. Sorry to make you worry, I wasn't trying to be a paparazzi that stalks you. I am just a gentle-king who wish to cherish this beautiful moment.

The Moo Moo Prince!

It is a moody Saturday that I can't get myself to work on the freelance job (yea I'm broke but yet the money can't seduce me XD) I need something new to play with, and this invitation from facebook came across my mind.

Instead of watching the animes that can never be finished, I decided to play with this cow! Honestly I actually wished to print it out and draw with my hand, but my printer uhhhh... nvm, let's start out with a vector design, will doodle it with colour pens next week!

So as you can see, this is my first-not-so-satiesfied-design which is a total failure, durh... not going to submit this for now. I wanted to make her a prince, even though I know she has teats. But don't you think prince is cooler than princess? Just like I am making myself a king instead of a queen! I know I am a freak :D Hail to the King!

So if it has been a while (or decades) since the last time you drew, it is time to dig out your tools and start doodle! For more information, read here. Have fun!

I Love My Job

Last week we went to Malacca to gather information of the project we are working on, aka site-visit. Though we were meant to "work" there, we're having much fun compared to the project trips I have been to as the time given was sufficient hence no rushing! :D

So as a 3D artist, my job was to shoot some photographs of the environment, both indoors and outdoors, as reference for modelling and texturing. I was kind of enjoying myself and eventually I was kind of slacking around... *under gloomy introspection...

At the end of the day, Reza and Alif wondered why I looked so delight. Well, the answer is simple! You get to travel for free (sponsored by company) and yet you get paid (you're working during the trip), so shouldn't you embrace it and be grateful for how lucky you are? So in the future, we will be able to travel around Malaysia where the heritage buildings located. No more sweet-talking all years with the computers in the studio! It's good as it refreshes your minds.

And so, I love my job, more and more now. :)

I don't mind about group photos but sometimes I'm hesitate to take individual photos because I know the outcome will definitely be awkward, no doubt. I'm just shy and afraid to be the focus, and totally not photogenic, seriously, not at all, sob sob.

As an experiment, Gatya lent me her sunglasses while Yunyi took a photo for me...
Yunyi: Stand beside the door~
Jun: OK.
Yunyi: Don't stand like a wood there, pose something~
Jun: er....
*Bee-beep! KA CHAK!*
Yunyi: Nice one, can make it your profile pic at Facebook!
*Like I'll ever do that.... I must have been crazy. Anyway, just for fun! :D

The Runaway Santa

Today I bumped into our beloved Santa Claus.

He was not in his trademarked red suit, but a dark leisuresuit.

He was not bringing a sackful of presents, but a little red backpack.

I clicked on the shutter hastily and Santa was caught on my camera.

He was surprised and gave me a wink with his kind smile as always.

"Don't let the elves and reindeer find out, I'm on my vacation!"
Whispered the Santa.

*Santa spotted at Malacca*

My Lovely Wedges

As requested by Yu Zi, here is the photo of the lovely new year present for myself.

Went shopping with my colleagues Gatya and Yun Yi on 30 Dec right after we off duty. I believe that I would never be able to encounter this babe if they weren't by my side. So, thank you very much girls. :)

I can't stop loving this adorable design as I believe that it beautifies whoever that wears it, or at least, your legs will be in a better proportion to the rest of your body. And yes, I absolutely love the way it makes me look taller~ XD Well, it did bite, but only once which is on the first day I wore it to the studio. But afterwards, we both get along pretty well.

My main concern now is how long it could last... As you can see, the lower part is woven and it is not water-resistant. T^T Therefore, I have been taking very good care of it! Wipe it with dry clothes when it is wet, while clean it with wet clothes when it gets dirty. So babe, stay with me, ok? >.<

The Reasons

I've stopped blogging for a few months because I felt that most of my posts were somehow meaningless. Furthermore, I always take such a long time just to write a simple post! In short, I once felt that I have been wasting time and efforts to blog things that bored others to death...

So dear my friends, why am I blogging again? Because recently I have an urge to share with you all the lovely things that I have discovered. I came across a lot of beautiful stuff which inspired me and gave me a hankering (but also cupidity) for a better lifestyle.

So from now on, I will blog about everything in my daily life, from extremely big things to tiny little things, as long as they are parts of my happiness. Hopefully some of them can draw a smile on your face too. =)

Forget about the blog title, I'm just a dreamer who likes fantasy, you will never get to see a realistic heading in my blog. :D Oh and, I might change it anytime on a whim too. But don't worry, the URL will forever be fixed with this King-Jun.

As for the blog design, I don't think I have time to create a brand new design for it now as my hands are full with lotsa new plans that I can't wait to execute. So please bare with it for now, I mean, myself. XD

The blog is currently open to public now, as I wish to get to know new friends around the world who has the same interests (and that's the reason why most of the posts will be written in English). But well, I might switch it to private later on if there is unwelcome guest. So, sorry in advance.
