狂(穷)人日记
婚纱设计师
Feb 25th
之前讲过，我冇艺术细胞，阿妈生我果阵，有嘢搞错咗，生留咗艺术细胞！
所以引致我逻辑思维太强，走咗去读IT，做咗engineer。
人近卅先至转行，搞艺术，真係难度好高！
上星期，识咗班艺术细胞超强嘅朋友，真係佩服到贴地！
除咗CM外，最佩服个婚纱设计师Veralyne，睇完佢FB里面啲设计，真係好靓！
我唸目前佢係我唯一认识嘅婚纱设计师，幸会幸会！
从新。出发
Feb 23rd
今日唔知发乜嘢瘟，将FB里面嘅album洗得七七八八。 净翻76张人哋tag我嘅相。
我唸，我好想从新出发，从新将自己定位。我对份全职份工作嘅热诚已经减到一个纯粹为钱而做嘅阶段。兴趣，已经烟消云散。
至于摄影份freelance，仍有待改进，但我已经觉得自己太被动，太慢!
虽然话，要急亦急唔嚟，但某程度上，上完CM Leung嘅课，令我对结婚摄影有好大嘅改观。
当自己遇到瓶颈，上课，的确可以令自己由末角转返出嚟！
而家係要计划下一步要点行，冇人可以帮到自己，只要靠努力同冷静思考！
或许，神可以助我一臂之力！
Short Trip to Perth
Feb 18th
Another outdated post
I went to Perth before Christmas 2009, 4 days – it was mainly for work, what so-called professional on-site service. This post not gonna talk much about the work, rather, just some photos share.
It was my very first trip to Australia. Let’s talk about the first impression on Australia and Australian.
QANTAS – the fuckup experience for me! First obstacle: they don’t allowed me to carry two hand-carry luggage into the cabin. They claimed they are BIG luggage… the Customer Service Manager was kinda rude, he rolled his BIG eyes on me and said “NO! GO UP AND CHECK IN THE LUGGAGE YOURSELF!”! It was really fuck up with this kind of face when you’re traveling alone, are they really racist to that extend? I wanted to yell at him… “GO FUCK COMPLAINT TO RIMOWA, THIS IS FUCKING STANDARD CABIN TROLLEY SIZE, I’M NOT THE ONE WHO MAKE THIS!” but I didn’t! I know it will be a big mess if I really shouted at him – the fucking old man! Thanks to another guy – Andrew who arrange the ground staff to check in the luggage, however, at the very last minute, the ground staff didn’t turn up and my luggage ended up sitting at first class cabin throughout the flight.
CUSTOM – Another obstacle for me – Reaching at airport about 1AM, tiring day and being questionnaire by the custom. It was due to wrongly apply Visa done by the local agent!
TAXI – Nothing wrong with the taxi nor the driver, it was me myself forgot to collect receipt!
HOTEL – I’d booked the hotel one day before via Agoda.com. The website stated WITH WIFI INTERNET. The moment I checked-in then realize the Internet access is not FREE. Arrgghhh! It stated “WITH WIFI INTERNET”, NOT “WITH FREE WIFI INTERNET”! My stupidity on all these commercial trick! Ban HILTON!
Overall, Perth is quiet place, 8pm onwards, I hardly see a group of more than 3 people on the road. Summer but it was windy. People finishing work on time (5 or 6pm), mostly take bus rather than driving. Many Korean and Chinese.. I’ve met some new friends when eating at a Jap restaurant, Taiwanese, HongKy, Malaysian and etc.
23rd, two days before Christmas, the last evening I spent in Perth last year. It was happening and the shops are closing at 9pm. While walking on the Murray St, saw people were doing last minute shopping, some just relaxing on the bench, some entertainer playing Christmas songs with their violin / guitar / harmonica… I’d even got some free hugs too! Got myself a delicious jumbo hotdog that sold by a Korean guy. As I was heading back to the hotel, I’d stopping by at an used-book store, got HanLer a small little Christmas present there.
Had a nice croissant at Croissant Express before leaving to Airport… still windy and the taxi driver don’t practice turning the aircond on most of the time… Green?
Bye Perth!

Recently found this Wiki about surname of Seok:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seok
Opps… I didn’t know in Korean, surname Seok write as 石 (in chinese character) as well.
Haha! But… I’m not Korean, I’m 100% Chinese.
Update 30-12-2009
Dec 30th
It had been quite a while I didn’t update my blog, since you seeing this page, you knew that I’ve move the blog to http://rachel.krova.com. The reason being is, I’d joined Krova as photographer and would like to fully utilize the domain that we have.
Many of you already knew that I’m doing Photograph in aggressive way recently, so far, many Wedding Day Photography had been carried out. We’re (Jason and me) doing it freelance yet giving professional package, like album and montage included. Request coming in fast and steady… thanks to all the friends and family being very supportive and believing in our work.
Apart from this photography thing, I’m still working at Fortinet as support engineer. However, things wasn’t as what I’m expecting… maybe I should say, I’m not what they’re expecting, I’m slowly work on it at this moment.
Since the new year is around the corner, I would like to takes this opportunity to express my appreciation to people who had help / assisted me went through the downtime and for those who got offended, please accept my apology here.
A special thanks to my FAMILY, my mom for taking care my son very well, my father for being patient and helpful, my brothers who had assist me financially and mentally, my sister who sharing and talking with me especially on taxation problem, my niece and nephew who stole my barn buddy plant and still stealing them! My in-law family, who are kind and patient waiting us to bring Hanler visit them. My HUBBY, a really patient and steady hubby, who waking me up everyday in the morning, keep quiet when I nagging, being at my side whenever I need someone to talk and hug. My SON, Hanler, the boy that have color up my life.
Also a list of friends that I wanted to thanks them!
I wish nothing but HEALTHY to everyone! Happy New Year 2010!
Don’t just dream on, let’s do it!

Macau / HK Trip – 17th Oct 2009
Nov 6th
17-10-2009
进入第四日嘅行程，其实我哋都冇预先编排。今日就打算到中环行下再去睇戏。
因为寻日到唨尖沙咀，冇乜行到，我哋今日就直接由旺角去到尖沙咀，打算食完早餐再决定去边。
我哋去到“加连威老道”附近随便咁揾间茶餐室食早餐。味道係点，间嘢叫乜名，我几乎已经忘记的一清二楚。只係记得逗留喺尖沙咀嘅时间好短。
之后我哋就直接搭地铁到中环。由地铁行出嚟就已经身处“置地广场”（Landmark），好多高档商品，但始终觉得啲商场间隔好差，有啲商店会喺啲死角位，根本睇唔到！最讨厌嘅就係揾厕所，告示牌都少，仲要唔係层层有！我哋企咗喺Starbucks旁边上网揾戏院，再睇下边度可以买到Repetto，原来我哋身边嘅Harvey Nichols就有代理Repetto。我行入去睇，价钱同我之前买嘅Sergio Rossi差唔多，好彩我要嘅size佢冇，我可以省翻，如果唔係，我又会被冲昏个脑！
我哋睇到楼下拍紧“毕打自己人”，见到毛毛同金燕玲。
讲翻个揾戏院嘅过程，我哋查到附近就有一间“皇后戏院”离我哋唔远，就决定过去。我哋拎住个地址，揾极都揾唔到间戏院，经一问，T！原来间戏院已经冇咗！又俾啲旧资料玩到！最衰喺连Google Map资料都冇更新！个人兄建议我哋去IFC睇。我哋就依佢嘅建议行到IFC。
我哋去到IFC门口，Jason就攞相机出嚟影相，我转个身就听到“啊”一声同“blak”一声，转翻个头，就见到我架400D同10-22mm个镜头跌咗落地！大锅！即可执翻上嚟睇，个机身仲可以用，但係个镜头就转唔到，原来里面嘅镜头跌歪咗！我见到Jason嘅面色好难睇，我亦唔多讲嘢，整下整下，镜头可以转啦，但auto focus仍然有问题。我就安慰Jason话，唔跌都跌咗啦，算啦，最多未买多架，佢讲笑话“我赔翻架机俾你！”，我要7仔！
我哋收拾心情往戏院方向行去！嗰日冇乜心水戏睇，要睇嘅嗰日又冇上映,好彩仲有Taking Woodstock，哈！原来係三级限制，好哦！真係第一次喺戏院睇“三级片”！HKD75蚊一个人，都唔算贵，里面嘅座位係皮嘅！空间又够大！睇完又有人好有礼貌咁对住我哋讲“多谢”，OK啦，值得啦！
睇完戏，我哋唔觉意行到A Bathing Ape门口，都知道佢贵，其实一心想参观下。间店有男女同童装，但返大马着佢都冇乜人会识欣赏，栈俾人以为我哋着冒牌货。睇完，我哋开始肚饿，去揾食但係冇乜头绪，大开本旅游手册，最近就係“檀岛”。我哋抱住希望去食，点知！服务差！味道差！个适应仲好多粗口（当然唔係对住我哋讲啦）！可能佢哋出名嘅只係蛋挞？！相都懒得影！
之后过去附近嘅H&M买衫，其实似係买手信多啲。买咗好几件衫俾翰樂，一套衫俾Annabelle，自己就冇收获。哈哈！我哋几乎係最后一个俾钱嘅顾客。我哋由H&M行返地铁站时候，发觉原来“兰桂坊”就喺附近。我哋逗留一下，影下相就走，因为都已经好攰。
（对唔住，今日相影唔多)
Macau / HK Trip – 16th Oct 2009
Nov 5th
今日起身，个胃已经舒服啲，原来保济丸真係得！
我哋梳洗完，落街揾嘢食，喺唔太挑剔嘅情况下，入咗一间叫“陈记”嘅茶餐厅。我哋叫咗两份早餐（一般嘅港式早餐，Set A Set B嗰种，HKD49)，食完就往“永成”出发（其实都係喺旺角一带）。
去到“永成”，个sales几好哦！介绍得好，解释得清楚，我哋好满意，就喺咁嘅情况之下，一买就买咗HKD16815嘅摄影器材！但係就买唔到其中一支镜头(Canon 24-70mm F2.8 L USM)。嚟到香港先知原来呢支镜头咁好买，绝大部分顾客都需要订货！我哋唯有“暂时”放弃。
买咗:
Canon 70-200mm F2.8 IS USM
8GB CF Card x2
Hoya CPL Filter
Manfroto Tripod
Lenspen
Lowepro Fastpack 350
我哋拎住堆器材行返酒店放低，顺便影埋相，有机会就upload上facebook。收拾好之后，我哋又去翻“朗豪坊”食午餐。我哋选择咗麦当奴嘅猪肉包，但味道同KL嘅Sausage McMuffin係一模一样，点解?！
之后我哋选择咗今日去拜祭家驹，位于将军澳华人永远坟场。我哋跟住网上面搜集嘅资料唔难就可以到达，不过啲资料有点嘢要改啦！佢哋话由入口行15-20分钟就可以到达，我哋两个行成粒钟先至到（Jason係俾我拖慢咗脚步，我实在严重缺乏运动）! 如果有朋友有兴趣去探家驹，建议以下路线：
- 搭地铁到“油塘”站, 然后直接搭的士，同的士大哥讲要去 “将军澳华人永远坟场，15段”。
如果想悭钱，可以参考以下：
到达“油塘”站后，往 “天主教普照中学” 出口经过两条电动楼梯，直穿过一栋楼宇过对面行人路右直行。到鲤鱼门广场，转左直行过班马线再转左，就会看到14S巴士站。你可以乘搭乘14s巴士上去。到咗，原路直上，会有条分叉路，向下行就是灵灰阁，你向上行，一路行，放眼直望，你会睇到有个墓后面嘅墙是蓝色，嗰个就係啦（15段 6台 25号）！
注意： 14S巴士唔係每日行驶，如果停驶，我哋就建议你搭的士上去（话俾的士大哥知係15段，佢哋应该知)，因为冇其他选择，除非你到山脚，自己行上去，我哋试过，行咗好耐先至到！
喺油塘嘅我哋，无聊！
我哋跟住网上揾到嘅资料，由油塘地铁站行到鲤鱼门广场附近嘅巴士站，恍然大悟，今日14S巴士停驶日！顶！
你见唔见到蓝色嘅墙壁啊？（Click入去，放大你可以睇得清楚啲）
我哋上到去，已经接近5点钟，好宁静！我哋透顺条气，就装香。啲家驹嘅墓碑后面，有好几个箱，里面都放有香同火柴，仲有啲係fans送嘅手信。啲fans真係好热心，香烛係全天候供应！我哋因为山上风大，用咗差唔多10支火柴先至点得着啲香，真係唔好意思！我哋下次嚟会带埋啲香同火柴（火鸡会唔会好啲呢?）。奉劝各位fans，如果你去拜家驹，麻烦买过去。
我哋影完相（其实係唔可以影嘎！），同家驹讲Bye Bye就离开。好彩咁啱有架的士上嚟，如果唔係就要call的士囖！
我哋再坐地铁去“尖沙咀” 食晚餐睇夜景。我哋行咗段路，肚越嚟越饿，结果就揾到“翠华”(Tsui Wah)，入去！当我哋睇到“翠华”，就唸起阿Jan同千桦嘅“饱满爱”。“翠华”嘅嘢食真係唔错，以份量嚟睇价钱算公道。如果细食，可以一份两人kongsi（share)。
之后去文化中心附近睇夜景，在行埋“星光大道”。人唔算太多，有好多档口帮人影像。我哋都摆埋档，仲赚咗三百几蚊，生意几好！讲笑啧，你咪咁认真啦！点有可能呢？！带埋嗰printer去咩？！我哋影自己就有!
行埋个星光大道，已经觉得对脚好攰，仲要赶地铁返旺角，啊～！！！咁就结束我哋今日嘅行程。

Rimowa – Part5 – Salsa Speedy (台灣限定版)
Nov 5th
台灣限定版Salsa Speedy箱上玩色
RIMOWA 台灣區總經理Michael DePrenda德鵬達精心設計的台灣限定版『Salsa Speedy』系列，靈感源自於跑車的動感流線及生動配色。Michael DePrenda德鵬達有感於『一只好推、堅固的旅行箱，就猶如一台跑車能自由地在任何地面行走，安全地保護承載的內容物』，為了表達這樣的設計概念，在旅行箱上巧妙地玩起顏色搭配，時尚科技的銀色與活力十足的紅色，充分展現跑車般的能量與速度感。
在專業上，一只RIMOWA旅行箱擁有許多專利以及通過國際TÜV德國萊因集團的嚴格檢測，包括：經典百摺設計、專業負重試驗手把以及專利四大走輪。其中，最引以為傲的就屬『RIMOWA德製四大走輪』。因此，有人說RIMOWA旅行箱是四輪傳動的行李箱，因為 RIMOWA擁有可靈活滑動的四大走輪，帶有滾珠軸承的滾輪系統(Multi-wheel)確保旅行箱能夠輕而易舉的旋轉及換變方向、最多可承受60公斤的行李重量，且不管何種地面、四個直徑65mm的大型雙控輪給予行李箱足夠的底盤高度，能輕鬆行走於每一個路段。著實呼應了『Salsa Speedy』系列的設計理念。
