Lunar Eclipse 2011.12.10

Again, sorry for not updating this blog often.

Just a quick one with this one photo of the lunar eclipse that happened last night. I took a risk to go all the way down to Planetarium Negara in KL, when I got to know that they are hosting an event just for this occasion. I was thinking, if I want to know where the moon would be coming up and how to shoot, this would definitely be the place. And I am glad that I was right. The place was swarmed by people (my guess about 1000 – 2000 people) but as one of the early birds, I got a good spot for myself. And managed to get some decent photos as well. The above is definitely my best of the whole bunch. But the more important stuff is that I learn how to better shoot the moon.

December is here!

December is here and usually, at the month of December, there are only two things in my mind. First is, of course, Youth Camp and second is CHRISTMAS!!!!!!

To help myself and others to get into the Christmas mood, this year, I have decided to search and list out some of the nice Christmas wallpapers for you. Behold…

那些年 – 胡夏

Filed under: Blog,Music — Tags: , — alexlim @ 9:39 pm

那些年 (Those years) by 胡夏 (Hou Xi) is the theme song from movie 那些年,我们一起追的女孩 (You Are The Apple Of My Eye) and it sound so great that I want to share it here.

Hope you would enjoy it as much as I do.

作曲:木村充利
填词:九把刀
又回到最初的起点
记忆中你青涩的脸
我们终于来到了这一天
桌垫下的老照片
无数回忆连结
今天男孩要赴女孩最后的约
又回到最初的起点
呆呆地站在镜子前
笨拙系上红色领带的结
将头发梳成大人模样
穿上一身帅气西装
等会儿见你一定比想像美
好想再回到那些年的时光
回到教室座位前后 故意讨你温柔的骂
黑板上排列组合 你舍得解开吗
谁与谁坐他又爱着她
Chorus
那些年错过的大雨
那些年错过的爱情
好想拥抱你 拥抱错过的勇气
曾经想征服全世界
到最后回首才发现
这世界滴滴点点全部都是你
那些年错过的大雨
那些年错过的爱情
好想告诉你 告诉你我没有忘记
那天晚上满天星星
平行时空下的约定
再一次相遇我会紧紧抱着你
紧紧抱着你
If you can understand Mandarin, do go and watch this lovely show. You wont regret it.
