Rifle Range Flats

in

Rifle Range Flats is the first low cost housing scheme in the state of Penang, The flats which were completed in the 1970s were one of Penang’s earliest low cost housing projects and also the tallest at that time - a symbol of hope for Penang’s urban poor.

The 3,699 flat units in nine blocks have 99-year leasehold titles. All are one-room affairs, except for four corner units per floor. The corner units have two rooms each, 6 blocks have 17 floors, while 3 blocks have 18.

Despite all the negative perception from the internet but I enjoy going to Rifle Range Flats when there’s a reason to do so. To me is like a living heritage, but what I really see is the charm in the beautiful architectural, so old school yet mystery and unique, lot of composition and creativity to play with.



Chung Ling High School G Block

心系旧舍，情牵长廊

G楼建于1930年代，是母校最后一座历史最悠久的单层教育楼，对锺灵人而言情意深长久远。

时至今日，为了母校更宽广长远的发展，纵使心中有万般不舍，G楼终究得被割舍拆除以让路给规划更周详全面的五层综合教育楼。

Vintage Food Styling

in

To be a Penang Food photographer I need to try a lot of things, I have gone through many Food photos in the magazines, websites and pintrest. I still find that rustic and vintage set up is my favorite among all the food photos. Before I can start anything I have to get those props ready, is a lot of investment in order to get the right staffs, some I buy from China, some from the recycle shop, carpenter shop and even lorong kulit.

I'm not good in cooking at all, so my first try will be the ingredients because it is easier to prepare. I hope you like my series of this vintage set up and comments and feedback are welcome in order for me to improve further. Hope you enjoy it.

Dolce Dessert stories continue.........

I was given a chance to continue on their dessert shooting, within a year I manage to capture some of their lovely dessert with different kind of styling base on our discussion & ideas.

Penang Hill

in ,

Penang Hill is one of the must see attraction in Penang Island. it was the first hill resort of its kind in Malaysia, and since its opening in 1923, the funicular railway has provided a convenient way to reach the top. After the major renovation and the new funicular, it draws almost 2000 visitors per day. What I love about this place is because it faces the most beautiful cityscape in Penang Island and more over it give you difference kind of scene at different time. Penang Hill is just 5 minutes away from where I live,  this is why I can make as many trip as I wanted. I can plan my trip in the very last minutes and my outing is all depends on the weather. You can see my Penang hill collection HERE.

In this Samsung imagelogger assignment, what i plan is to record the different moment but with the same scene on top of Penang Hill. From dawn to dusk, rain or shine. The shooting with this Samsung NX1 is straight forward, What i need is just a tripod and cable release. My favorite time to visit the hill is at 6:30am the very first train from the station. The weather up there is chilling and very quiet in the morning and I always enjoy being alone up there.

 

I hope you like some collection of my photos in Penang Hill, there is no lucky moment to get a good shot from Penang Hill. luck is where preparation and opportunity meet.  You just have to put in more effort by keep visiting in different kind of weather and time and the mother nature will surprise you.


All photos, above, have been shot with the Samsung NX1, which has been provided by Samsung Electronics. Co., Ltd.
