Remember that song? Hmmm.... you are too young? Sigh....
There is something special about rainbow that I love, partly because they are so difficult to capture on film; well... most of the time you do not have a camera when you see one!

Zoom Zoom zoom!
The second generation Mazda3 has been launched in New Zealand, and is set to go on sale on 1 May, said the motor news.
Strangely enough it did not excite me at all! Being a "petrol head" all my life, is this a sure sign of old age?
Five years ago when the first gen appeared, I was so excited and went and bought one of the first few available!

Afternoon Delight
Lucerne has long been one of Europe’s most heavily touristed towns, five million admirers passing through each year. Wow! Just imagine the whole population of New Zealand passing through this picturesque town!
We were there for one day and half day, too little; too short!
If you are there, The north bank of the Reuss River is a must see! Take a walk among the river bank, take in the beautiful vista.
May be take a nap beside the river!
Afternoon Delight...
Beautiful fine day, cool breeze; along the river right smack in the city of Lucerne... great spot for a nap, baby included!
This delightful snap was "napped" with a Canon EOS1n, EF17-35L zoom lens on Kodak Supra 400 film.

Déjà vu 5 - Putra Night
On 1 February 2001, the 4,900-hectare Putra Jaya was declared the third Federal Territory of Malaysia. This new federal administrative hub was built at a cost of some RM2.2 billion and is within the Multimedia Super Corridor.
Putra Jaya is also Malaysia's new, and futuristic, administrative capital containing within it the imposing, Putra Mosque. The mosque, named after the first Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al Haj, is located beside Dataran Putra fronting the scenic Putra Jaya Lake.
Almost wholly surrounded by water, Putra Mosque also affords a breathtaking view of the lake as well as the Putra Bridge and the Prime Minister's Complex.
To mark the historical event a celebration was held around Putra Jaya and of course the climax of the night was a spectacular firework display!

The Eyes Have It!
Isn't that what good photographer are all about? He/she should be able to SEE what others do not and react to what he sees and be able to freeze and capture that "slice of time", a slice of the moment that BELONGS to you!
A good photographer must be very sensitive to all sorts of things around him - light, emotion, objects, shapes, composition.
When situation arise he must be able to operate his camera like his second nature... an extension of his mind, his soul, if you like; no hesitation, decisive; instance!

The Room With A View
Sunday morning, as usual we got up pretty late and at 1 pm; drag ourselves to the Sunday open market next to the Te Papa Museum car park. After buying what we need, on our way back to our parked car; we were stunned to notice the new block of high rise apartment opposite the museum! We don't remember it going up, you know the feeling? Go to show how unobservant we are! Ha ha ha...
Then my wife saw the "Open for viewing" sign and got all excited, we MUST go and take a look; who know, we might be able to afford one!

Déjà vu 4 - Over The Hills
This article was published in Jeff Ooi's CY's Lenses before, sadly this and many other stories were lost when the old site got hacked!
Recently, some of my Malaysian friends wanted to visit Martinbourough when they drop by New Zealand; I am rewriting this for them :)
If you come to Wellington, do pick up a free copy of the "Escape Planner 2005 on Wairarapa", according to this excellent little guide book; Wairarapa is "Over the hill and a world away."
You can "Wind your way along the route trodden by early settlers 150 years ago, over the Rimutaka Hills to the place Maori called Land of Glistening Waters." Sounds like LOTR Middle Earth country? Looking at the stunning colour shots in the guide book, you bet!
Sad but true but for Asians like yours truly and Mrs, all these splendor of only 90 minutes drive away; we only visit ONCE a year and only during the famous "Martinborough Fairs" on the first Saturday in February and March!
