It's been seven years of sharing and spilling out senseless stuff on a site for surfers to see. Of placing photos and personal ponderings in a public place for peers and prowlers to peruse. ... Today 27 June 2010 marks seven years from the day I posted my first blog entry on Xanga. I have officially been on Xanga for seven years. For you who live on the wrong other side of …

I can't help it. I like to shoot. I like shooting anything and everything: children, furry little mammals, blossoming flowers, and even exotic cuisine. Image by Nationaal Archief via Flickr No, not that kind of shooting. I mean using a camera. Anyone who has read this post of mine, or have been reading my blog for some time, would attest to this. For quite some time, I have …

No, not the physical abode that I currently reside in, because that can neither be called 'home' nor can it undergo any frontyard renovation for it does not have any. I'm talking about the home page of this blog. Some of you might've noticed that I changed the header from a ridiculously tall 900x500 with large link buttons to a 900x100 without any. I've wanted to do this …

All-paid-for, all-you-can-eat lunch... Part of the menu? Smoked salmon... Salmon skewer... Heavenly. Seconds? You betcha. I had my salmon binge during the buffet lunch session for the 8th International Conference on Fracture and Strength of Solids held at Hotel Istana last week. Best lunch buffet ever. When will I ever get to have a (free) buffet like this again...

Captured this during a bicycle trip in the Botanical Gardens in Shah Alam, Selangor. I really miss the days when I did a lot of closeup shots, hopefully this won't be the last of them this year. -ihsankhairir-

The Irish Bear is also quite straightforward - it is designed to resemble a leprechaun smoking a pipe. The Irish Bear is all clad in green, the iconic color of Ireland and St. Patrick. The artist that worked on the bear was Shaun Patrick Dolan (what a super Irish name). I did not manage to find out more about this artist, he probably was not a famous or professional …

It seems like the birthday wishlist that I posted earlier comprise mostly of photography stuff, and most of them are either very expensive or hard to find if you don't know where to look for them.

The American Bear is quite straightforward - the bear was painted and designed to look like the Statue of Liberty. The artist that worked on the American bear was Bill C. Ray, an Alaskan painter who is based in his own studio in Berlin, Germany. It's quite easy to associate the bear with the Statue of Liberty because the artist did such a good job at making sure the …
