Time flies quickly, has been here in Tokyo for around 3.5 years already. Been busy with work and has picked up golfing and photography. Hopefully can get better at both. Started lessons at Jack Nicklaus Golf academy in Ohmori and is starting to understand more about the game. Todd Baker, my instructor is correcting my...
Took up golf again after 10 years. Brought my golf set from Shanghai, but found the beginner set very difficult to use. Had bought another set (Talyormade) here in Japan. The set is imported directly from USA and it seems that US set is cheaper as compared to the Japanese model that is sold here....
Went for another photo walk with Alfie, starting from Photo walk with Alfie today, starting from Takadanobaba to Shiinamachi. The projects: 1. Doors and windows: Pretty self-explanatory and not exactly tough in terms of sourcing subject-material but your creative approach is the thing that will be what sets your pics apart from someone else’s. You...
Yet another draw for Man Utd and they have not won an away game yet this season. If they do not start to win more away games, might fall further behind Chelsea who is already 3 points ahead at this stage. Seems like United is lacking the edge in the final 3rd of the field...
Had my first photo walk with Alife yesterday. We started at Kiyosumi Shirakawa Eki and finished at Asakusabashi. Starting at 2pm, we finished at 8pm in the evening. Alfie had given us a list of 100 English adjectives and I selected Green and Blue from the list of words.
Taking photography lessons from Alfie Goodrich who is a professional photographer based in Tokyo. Going to do some photo walk with him and his students sometime. Traded in my Nikon D60 for a Nikon D300 and a couple of prime lens (a Nikon 50mm f1.4D and a Tokina ATX Pro 11-16mm f2.8) at Fujiya Camera....
Time flies, and 2009 is almost gone. In no time I will be an oyajii (if I am not one now), and looking back not much accomplishment to boast of. Yes, I will be a director soon, but is that what I am seeking for? Probably, wanted to achieve more, but am I over estimating...
Had heard the poignant music of Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence many times before and did not know it was a track by Sakamoto Ryuichi who incidentally had acted in the movie in 1983. Did not remember this music until I heard it recently on TV and googled for the track info before knowing about the...
Man Utd lost again on Saturday to Fulham 0-2. Uncharacteristic of Man Utd as they usually do not lose two in a row. It is still in their hands to win the EPL but it is a lot closer and the players would have to give their all to win it this year. Liverpool won...
Jut upgraded to WordPress 2.7.1. Did not read up the upgrade process and did it wrongly by not deactivating my plugins and themes. As a result, I was not able to see anything on my site after upgrading. I was lucky to be able to overcome this by reloading the WP packages to my host...
Watched the match on P2P, and it was a dismal display by the red devils. Making schoolboy errors which led to the unrealistic score line, this was not one of the best performance from Man Utd by a long shot. But the good thing is that this can serves as a wake up call to...
Finally received the missing wireless card from the seller. Was pleasantly surprised that he had sent me a 5300 card instead of the 5100. Proceeded to install the card and get the wireless to work. Installation was very easy, just had to remove 5 screws from the bottom of the T400, then remove the keyboard,...
