Dissapointed

Saturday, February 28, 2009

I was greatly saddened after receiving accusation regarding a post I posted on 15 Feb, title Valentine Day Cheese Cake.

It was a simple post of cake making but it turns out to be something personal to many, and I got personality attack by them.

For those who read it and got its own interpretation, I hope you know how to keep it to yourself and not criticizing me for not caring for my family.

Those who read my blog, please understand my profile, it says "my journey to the unknown territory of blogging, making money and some of my new found interest." I did not dedicate this blog to tell the world what I do with my family and I'm not appreciate to be told what I should do and what should not do with my family.

My family is my personal life and I like to keep it personal.

If you have doubt, drop me a comment or email.

I'll share my life with all readers when I want to and most of the time I want to keep it to myself.

A man need to have room for himself, for self expression.

Hope that I make myself clear.

Valentine day Cheesecake

Sunday, February 15, 2009

It was Valentine day; I’ve made a cheesecake, not for celebrating valentine, not for impressing my wife but just simply wanted to eat cheesecake.

The cheesecake came from a recipe I used many years ago, fused with new idea from the Internet. It is a non-bake lemon cheesecake. Very simple to prepare and made.

The cheesecake needed to be in the fridge for min. 4 hours, so I can only enjoy the cake the next day.

Here are the picture of it, very plain very simple.

A visit to KL Bird Park

Saturday, February 7, 2009

After toying with my Nikon D60 for 2 weeks, I decided to have a photography outing with another D60 user, who has bought the camera together with me. We decided to have this outing to learn better photography skills and be more familiar with our new camera. KL Bird Park was decided due to it unique feature and varieties of photograph objects.

I took this opportunity to bring along my wife and daughter together and make it a family day outing. Upon arrival at KL Bird Park, I was surprise on the land area of this place. So I check out the information leaflet and came to know that KL Bird Park has the world larges free-flight walk-in aviary. What it means is that you can walk together with various kind of birds, touch them and have photo with them. It is like walking in a large birdcages.

True indeed when you enter the parks, birds are everywhere and they are not camera shy. The environment is very smoothing with large greenery, making the walk very comfortable. Not too hot yet not too gloomy. However it does give me quite a difficult time in setting the right exposure for my camera.

It was a very challenging task for me to photograph all those awesome looking birds. I have limitation in focus length and struggling to get the right setting for the camera. Anyhow I have a great time, my daughter loves the visits but we have to leave this place without completing the entire path due to exhaustion.

End of the day, I would say, KL Bird Park is a great place for photographer, a great place for children to learn and is also a great place for a family outing.

You can find out more about KL Bird Park at www.klbirdpark.com

Here are some photo from KL Bird Park. You can find more photos in my photo blog at Nix Digital Photo World

My 2009 Chinese New Year Reunion Dinner

Sunday, January 25, 2009

Chinese New Year is one of the most important days for the Chinese. It is also an important day for my family and me. As tradition, we will have our reunion dinner on Chinese New Year Eve, a dinner where everyone meets up from near and far.

My family are small, about a hand full of people, mostly are my father’s sisters. For many years, the reunion dinner are prepare at home by my mum, but for the last 2 years, we have moved from home cook food to restaurant food, simply because we think that reunion dinner should be relax and less hassle. More time for sharing then busy working.

There for this year, we had another rich and fulfilling dinner at a well pack restaurant, with private room for the kids to run about and more privacy.

Although we need not to pay extra for the room, but the reservation have to be made about 3 months in advance.

Road to Success Blogging

Tuesday, January 20, 2009

When ask about blogging, I guess many knows what blogging is. But how many really know how to find success in blogging?

Success blogging have wide verity of definition, it depends on your objective in your blog. Some people who like to have hundred and thousands of visitors to their blog as objective, some want to earn some money from their blog, while some just want to share information to their community as a whole. Whatever reason you have to experience success blogging, there are few fundamental that a blogger must know before venture into the blogging world.

The most important key to blogging is "TOPIC". What topic you want to blog about and find success in blogging it? If you do not have a specific topic to blog about, then blogging will only be a short moment of passion and you will not archive any success blogging for long run.

Next down the line is "PASSION", how much passion you have to the topic you want to blog about. Passion keeps you driving, encourages you to blog and blog as often as possible. Without any passion, again you will felt short to your success blogging objective and just give up some time.

One good example of passion blogging is mama blog / personal blog. I found that mother or parents who blog their daily activities with their love one, actually found great success in blogging. They can sustain their blog for long time and yet have hundred and thousand of reader. They may not have success blogging in mind when the blog have stared up, but due to their blogging activity, they have archived success blogging without knowing it.

Anyhow I think most people will find blogging interesting is simply because they can make money from it. If this is your case, please don’t make this as your objective. Make monetizing your blog as the last objective after you have found success in blogging.

This is simply because money only comes when you have readers and traffics. Without this 2 elements, there will be no money to find.

Well there are some write up about success blogging and I think is a good read for those who want to start a blog. Don’t worry as this is free and I get nothing from it. Please visit becomeablogger.com as the author, who made lot of money from the internet shares his experience and information. Please download the “The Roadmap to Become A Blogger” is a good report to read. It comes with step-by-step guide to how to archive success blogging.

Remember one thing, success blogging don't come over night. It takes a lot of hard work, patient and determination. It may take months to reach there, but with great passion and encouragement from friends and family, the journey will be easy and result can be sweet.

I here by wish all of you who wanted to start blogging to have a great year ahead and find success is many ways.

Bubbling HC

Saturday, January 17, 2009

Aquascping has been my long passionate hobby. What Aquascaping basically involved is to create a garden of greens in an aquarium that is fill with water and live fishes. It other words, make your aquarium look as natural as possible with live plants.

HC (Hemianthus callitrichoides) is a form of carpet plant, which mean it will eventually grow like grass, coving the whole floor. Its leave is about 2-3mm in diameter, making it a very unique and nice looking plant to keep.

For the pass 2 years, I have been striving to find success with this plant. It is not a easy plant to keep as it will die easily. For two years, I have been trying and trying and finally I have found success.

I now have a large amount of healthy green HC planted.

Here are some that have been kept in my tank. Is bubbling and green, a sign of good health. I’ll see how far this batch will go.


Here's how I harvest my HC in emerge form (Out of water)
Close up look at how HC leafs look like.
