CELEBRITY CAKES!

It’s simply awesome these days to have such wonderful choices when it comes to choosing a simple cake. We do need cakes for personal celebrations like birthdays, anniversaries,  engagement and especially wedding.

So that’s where cake designers come in to offer us a choice to design our own celebrity cake! Though not necessarily cakes are for birthdays only, but they’re now popular for any occasion. The homemade cake is custom made to order from the moment the ideas are mooted to the finishing touches.

These cake designers are ready to offer their services to design and create unique or even artistic wedding cakes just for you. All the designs are one of its kinds and can suit to your theme and color scheme to enhance the atmosphere of your occasion.

It’s amazing to know that you now have a choice to order personalized cakes with your own special requests. You can have celebrity cakes, artisan cakes, cartoon cakes, corporate cakes (with logo)anything, even having a photo on the cake!

One such creative cake designer is a good friend that offered an opportunity for me to capture a few photos of her unique cake creations.

Truly stunned by her passion of pain-stakingly crafting every single details onto her cakes. The outcome is naturally outstanding as seen in these few images of her creations.

LET THERE BE LIGHT – KELAB SHASHIN PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION

A photography exhibition by the members of Kelab Shashin Fotografi Kuala Lumpur held in conjunction with the anniversary of our country’s Merdeka Day on 31st August 2010.

It’s definitely a proud moment for the club members’ to have their work on display at one of the most amazing venue, the Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre.

The club has evolved over the years as memberships lapsed, renewed but most importantly were the recruitment of ‘new blood’ that kept the club active till today!

The members have one common interest – a great passion and love for the art of photography! And it’s all about sharing because photography is nothing if no one sees them…

There are only good photographs with good memories, which are what the photos must convey to be a good one. We talked about photography techniques; we talked about gears... which camera or lens is better – yours or mine. In the end, the reality is really about the photographer – the person behind the lens. What you see is what you get, and if you don’t see it then you don’t get it!

Anyone can pick up good photography techniques but learning the art of photography is the hardest hurdle for any photographer. So joining a club like this provides an avenue for sharing of your photographs with other members.

It has been an experience indeed since joining this club as I’ve shared so many photography journeys with the members, venturing through the streets of Malacca and scaling to Mount Kinabalu!

Of course, the most exciting journey is the upcoming adventure to the homeland of Genghis Khan as we explore the route of Inner Mongolia.

'Conquering the world on horseback is easy;

it is dismounting and governing that is hard.'

Quoted by Genghis Khan aka Kublai Khan

My CupCakes!

We all love cakes be it chocolate, cheese or just plain butter

They are special for birthdays, wedding or any other celebrations

Most cake shop can offer the standard cake designs.

But for those looking for more personalized cake choices,

It is either you bake and decorate the cake yourself

Or look for a home baker near you!

They offer more personalized choices.

Actually, it’s easy to bake and personalized your own cake.

We did it over the weekend for a friend’s birthday.

The cake decorating session was fun.

And it was decided to do cupcakes instead one big cake.

We’re glad to share the myriad of choices in the cupcake designs.

Some were creations of the youngest in the family like Chicken Little..

It is not difficult to bake and decorate a cake.

The end result is happily satisfactory

As it is a gift with a personal touch.

BORN TO BE FREE

We were all born to be free.
A life that knows no boundary..
Free like a bird soaring in the air.
We have no wings, yet we can fly!

Soaring so charmingly high up in the air

Dancing so gracefully with every twirl of her body

Her eyes gleaming with such passion

As her audience admires her every movement

Synchronizing all parts of her body with ease

Captivating in every way!

The Mask!

Why do people hide behind masks!

Why? Is it the safest place to be?

Or is it the only way they know how?

Good intention or evil thoughts?

No one knows except that person

That hides behind the MASK…

Why do we not show our true nature?

Masquerading ourselves with different masks.

Why are we so vulnerable to pain?
Bore so much hatred and contempt...

Why do we have no mercy for ourselves and others?
To judge so harshly with nonsensical accusations

We smile but it's really a frown..
We live but is it really a lie?

Does the truth hurt more than lies?
What happen to our innocence nature?

Our mind trapped in an endless circular motion.
A cruel and twisted entrapment.

How do we break-away from all these deceit?
To rid ourselves of all these ridicule..

Only to find ourselves groping in the dark..
Wandering aimlessly like a zombie

Engulf by a feeling of desperations
Anger by our weakness and fear

Searching for an answer but finding none

Yet relentlessly, we still seek..

Only to lose the battle again, we put on the MASK……

Hoping to hide ourselves again
In this mask of make-believe world

Only to realise that behind that masks hides another Mask!
