CNY 2013 Fireworks in Kuching

As usual the fireworks in Kuching during Chinese New Year is extravaganza. I do not know how CNY atmosphere is somewhere else, but in Kuching the midnight hours is like a warzone.

This year the warzone starts late..probaby due to the rain. Because of the rain, my picture was not great either. By the time the warzone kick off, 15 mins later there was too much smoke to take clear pictures. Anyway, Happy CNY 2013 to all especially Kuchingites.

NEX5N + LA-EA2 + Tamron 28-75 F2.8 + Singapore National Day 2012 Fireworks

I could n't get a nice spot, but I find this picture extraordinary for the Firework display of Singapore 47th National Day 2012. Thanks to the shaking of my tripod by the packed surrounding.

I have trade in my Tokina Lens with this Tamron 28-75 F.8 at Alex Photo in Peninsula Plaza. It was a swap. I know, its a lost but its better than selling it for RM1200 and buying a new Tamron . This Tamron seems to be in a 9.5/10 condition with box and my box I didn't bring. Having said this, kudos to trade in shops like this, it makes this hobby much worthwhile.

A little tips to those who plan to buy Singtel prepaid data package in Singapore. You can use unlimited Internet for SGD6 / day or SGD15 for three days and SGD25 for a week, check this link. However, You need to purchase a sim card worth SGD15 ( The card says SGD18-probably some discount) . Then you need to top up your balance to purchase the data package. There are SGD 10 and SGD 20 Top ups available, so do your accounting. When purchasing the data package, you need to be sure that you do every step as insructed and you have to be sure to reply through SMS your confirmation of purchase and receive a full confirmation from singtel as well. While doing this, ensure that your data networking is off or otherwise, you might finish your balance on expensive data charges (trust me, I wasted my SGD20  balance on this, in few minutes :(   ) .
