Time to say goodbye ....

Sarah Brightman:

When I'm alone I dream of the horizon and words fail me.
There is no light in a room where there is no sun
and there is no sun if you're not here with me, with me.
From every window unfurls my heart the heart that you have won.
Into me you've poured the light,
the light that you found by the side of the road.

Time to say goodbye.
Places that I've never seen or experienced with you.
Now I shall, I'll sail with you upon ships across the seas,
seas that exist no more,
it's time to say goodbye.

Andrea Bocelli:

When you're far away I dream of the horizon and words fail me.
And of course I know that you're with me, with me.
You, my moon, you are with me.
My sun, you're here with me with me, with me, with me.

Time to say goodbye.
Places that I've never seen or experienced with you.
Now I shall, I'll sail with you upon ships across the seas,
seas that exist no more,

Both:

I'll revive them with you.
I'll go with you upon ships across the seas,
seas that exist no more,
I'll revive them with you.
I'll go with you.

You and me.

Singapore Photography....

The Marina Bay Sands, a new icon in Singapore was the subject of photography during my trip in November 2010. Joining many photography comrades, we placed our camera on tripods to shoot. Unfortunately, I did not bring along my tripod. My photo is taken without tripod.

Quite OK lah...

Oh dear! Time to revive it again....

I am encouraged by the comment of a new follower and decided that today, I will revive this little old blog of mine, and start posting new photos again. It has been 9 months since my Monkey Business posting.

This time, let me show you how I took night shots in Singapore without the tri-pod (",)

Reviving the blog.....with Monkey Business

I have been away for nearly a year, and as I go through this patch of free time I decided it is time to revive the blog. I have so many photos taken over the past 12 months to upload... and hmmm.... where do I begin. Let me begin with the shots taken with my Nikon D300, a new addition to my camera equipment list.

This is the MONKEY BUSINESS series which I recently shot at Hutan Lipur, a forest reserve park quite nearby to my home.

Then came the BOSS!

Disciple's Photography...

My 11 year old disciple in photography took this shot using the Panasonic Lumix.

This shot was taken at the Ecopark @ Penang.

Best Photos @ Saigon...

Dinner at Au Manoir Saigon ended with some photography shots. This one turned out good (",)

The Opera House @ Saigon...

Notre Dame photography... pleasantly surprised by this lady who posed for the photo (",)

Beautiful hotels...

and... the most prized shot is this one, taken on the way to Vung Tau by car (",)

Motorcycles @ Saigon...

There must be millions of motorcycles in Saigon...

Back from Saigon...

Here I am pleased to post in the gallery some of the nice photo shots taken in Saigon. I was at HSBC at Ho Chi Minh City, and just right in front is the Notre Dame of Saigon...

His Masters' Voice

Yesterday, my photography "sifu" asked me why my blog is dead (",).

I am now making an attempt to make Dreamz alive again after putting it on hibernation mode for a few months by putting in this gallery of photos which I entitle "His Masters' Voice". His Masters' Voice, the brandname of this historial masterpieces in the early 1900s. These gramaphones are part of my personal collection, purchased a few years back one by one from my travels in the region.

One day, one of my camera Khaki with the photography blog "Life is fun" purchased a new set of macro lenses and wanted to test it out at my house, on his macro shooting outing. He did his shots with his new lenses, while I did mine with the Nikkor 18-200mm VR lenses. The results of my shots were quite good too I must say, but his was better technically. Must be the good composition skill (",). Definitely not technical skill.

The needle of the gramaphone (photo above), the creator of music in His Masters' Voice.

In my collection are also many 78 rpm records.

Seen on this photo (above) is Lenggang Kangkung Baru, which I guess is more than 50 years old.

Now I have 3 HMV gramaphones in my collection, from different time zones (",)

I think the one nearest to the camera is almost 70 years old while the middle one is the newest.

All are in good working condition.

I think this shot (photo above) is a good one. Composition is good.

The speakers.... gives you a "back in time" feeling, although these were really before the days I was even born (",)

The View @ The 32 Mansion

The seafront at The Mansion @ 32 Penang is breathtaking, something that I accidentally discovered while armed with my camera.

The Cruise to Nowhere...

As the Blue Whale was returning to the Tanjung Inner City Marina,

we passed the Cruise to Nowhere...

These were the last photo shots before Blue Whale docked!

Photos at Random....

One day, holding my camera I shot into the lampshade on my side coffee table and captured this bulb (",)

I was at a Baptism service at Grace Assembly, at Kampung Melayu and the following random shots caught my attention. Nice (",)

The Sunset...

Today I missed the photography khaki's outing at QE II at 7am to greet the sunrise. 7am is a big obstacle for me, as the bed is greater than the camera (",). But Troy 16, I hope these sunset shots make you say Chitt!!

All these shots were taken aboard the Blue Whale Cruise (",)

The Blue Whale Cruise @ Tanjung City Mariner

The Blue Whale Cruise departed from the Tanjung Inner City Mariner, Penang. Here are some of the photo shots taken as the cruise boat sets off at 6.30pm.

The last time I took such photo shots, I was in Perth, Australia.

These scenes in Penang are nice too (",)

This is the Blue Whale..

This photo shot was taken from the front deck.

and... seated on the front deck, my camera went clicking away....
