The master of Erhu - The song Madam butterfly - one of the folk's song in China - So if you want to enjoy music, not just listen but play an instrument to appreciate it. This master is using his subconscious mind (did not even open his eyes) to play ( practice every day - pro, include some of the his own techniques ) |

Justice Bao Gong - According to legend he can enter hell to seek answers! |

Look at the spining |
|
Look at the how her hands handle the handkerchief - only DSLR can take these kind of shots. Freeze the moment of time |
|
Look at her hand on the feather.! That was 70 feet away . (24-300mm lens). Therefore buying a camera > 12megapixel for night shots does not serve any purpose cause with iso 6400 is enough. more than that is noise. So they need to develop a better sensor. than. Then maybe yes.! The tour guide said we were in the front row from the back ( from the photo i took) ! |

On the way to the private room- which was supposedly for 16 persons - two tables . Thanks to godfather - one for all or all for one. Seeking favor is like swallowing a seven inch sword - Chinese proverb . Really difficult to utter the words as I was beside him. Look what is my sifu doing? Well it depicts the life of an ancient town and its activities. |
the group first photo together - Well this was the third attempts - lighting bad , arrangement lousy !!!. Should taken in the private room where there is good lighting, arrangement, ambiance etc ..... Regrets that i did not taken any photos of the finest dinner in Chengdu - must have manners when we talk and great people that i am still learning from my English friend - Grooming to be an English gentlemen is not a easy task !
|
they urge to take this quote - altough no so good in mandarin translated into - life is too short , enjoy with wine and music. god father said that in the old days only music and wine are a form of entertainment . Just like what i have written ? In Jenny Woo's hits. ironically right! |
|
Romance of the three kingdoms in 13 century - Liu Bei , Guan Yu , Zhangi Fei - Trustworthy - Present time must change to WH Low , SM Kok and KC Chong - ( all men are brothers) Ask godfather about China's history - Six provinces (XIAN -states until now . I have read and watched (TVB series ) still blur blur . Too long history! |
|
How to describe sifu taking photos - Capturing Romance of the three kingdoms with simo . Can fit ? i enlarged the photo but romance of the three kingdoms.does no fit in- except in this picture. |

An old person ( writing in Chinese calligraphy ) translated to- Chengdu welcome Malaysia guests. ( Mom use to teach me Mandarin - learn nothing - shy -no practise ) Great as many people in the park are interested. Awesome feel. |
|
Worst capture for the whole trip - so misty - tried a lot of settings - gave up as the boat passed by for less than a minutes. should have changed to 50mm f1.4 instead of a wide angle. Leshan biggest Buddha statute in the word. |

Look at the fierce lion - misty that morning |
|
Ambiance of the hall way |

over exposed cause i used bulb setting, the window hardly wide enough ?- Chengdu at night - hardly any cars - clean up day- dry the clothes,pants etc. normally i would go out but there is no bridge for my tripod. |

|
Look at the joy of smiling Jenny Woo and her aunt- The contrast -red and white |
|
So you see - i ensure she does not look at the camera ? The smile |
|
Purposely overexposed - background. Kenny you can use this picture as post card - write something at the back- Like when is your next year holiday - Will you still remember me as your tour leader. very cheeky of him . He wanted the post i enhanced it with creativity . Doing events shooting you must be much more creative than your competitors else got reprimanded and your photos will not be published in the news. |
|
God father was coined on this occasion - "yat kah jee jee" in Cantonese . His eldest son look so boyish - Looks can be deceiving . Compare the smile below. I was supposedly siting at the centre of the room - behind is the altar . |

well since godfather pass the mic no choice have to sing (A Malay song by Alleycats - Kerana kau) The third verse - i heard some one said - he must be in a signing contest before - some one utter said his malay so good? some one utter good expression ? then i totally forgot the next line! How embarrassed? If you play music, dance, singing, expression, composing comes so naturally . Then you are a complete musician. |
