THE PROPOSAL @ CLUB MED #TCTravel

Image
THE PROPOSAL Hey guys!! Time passed quickly and I just noticed that I've been MIA for so long at this humble blogging space. Things have changed and I was undergoing several lifetime event and recent back-to-basic travel trip to Philippines. It was really fun to travel together with a bunch of outgoing friends to Legazpi and Batanes and I shall keep the exciting part in my upcoming travel post.  The reason I was MIA for a long period was that I became  lazy busy with all sorts of work (photography, video editing) and traveling (this is fun) at the recent weeks. New life goals has been set and priority in blogging has changed as well. I want to be healthier, fitter and do more meaningful photo/videography while planning for our future together. Trust me, it wasn't easy when you messed up your usual routine on creating blogpost/social media updates. If you do follow me on Instagram , I still do daily updates at that visual space ;p Let's cut the story short

Chicken Spaghetti??

Autumn Leaves In Japan So after a long week travel to Japan, I was tired but happy that I was lucky enough to experience my first autumn in Shinjuku and a few more beautiful places. Thanks The Wedding Notebook and Hilton Tokyo for the sponsored stay and air tickets. (I won it from their Instagram contest ) Can you imagine that you can easily walked up to 17km a day in Disneysea itself?? My legs were tired like hell at the end of the day. Luckily the place I stay have instant hot water so I can dip my legs in the tub for a quick recovery. Today I wanna rant bout something that I encounter on the flight during my way back to Malaysia. So far I was satisfied with the services given by the airline but I was really disappointed when I met a male stewardess that looks professional but act the other way round.

An Experience Helping People In Need #ProjectNourish

An Experience Helping People In Need Today I would like to share something I did in mid of July. It was a meaningful evening with friends from Maxis team.Working with two local NGOs –  Pertiwi Soup Kitchen  and  Kechara Food Bank  – over 150 Maxis volunteers took to homes and the streets during Ramadan to distribute food and essential supplies to the urban poor and homeless in and around the Klang Valley. #ProjectNourish was more than just about helping the needy. It gave us the opportunity to go down to the ground to see for ourselves the reality of urban poverty, have a sense of gratitude and do something meaningful. It was certainly an eye opening experience to be able to directly interact with and help those in need. Below are some photos taken when we visited two of the family:

What To Do When Your Image Is Stolen or Misused ??

Image
My photo being misused on phone case. What should I do? What happen if you found out someone misused your photo? Do you take an action or you just leave it?? I guess this is the question that many people would have asked especially in Malaysia. Most people choose to ignore as they not sure what they can do with it. If it is on Facebook when someone impersonate you, you can report the profile. But what if your picture has been printed on a product instead?? Sometimes you can see your photos suddenly appear on the website without any credit and sometimes they are making money using it. Above photo is not the only case...

Who is the best of you?

Little gift box with #thebestofyou sticker on it Few days ago I received a mysterious gift. It is a simple black box with #thebestofyou sticker on it. So curiosity struck and I opened the box to find out that there are certain fun stuff hidden inside and it somehow reminded me to think of what's the best of me that I've done and achieved so far...

Hope you manage to get MC or rest enough to start your day =) Congratz to Germany by the way!!

It is a blissful Sunday because my girlfriend prepared a full course breakfast for me muahaha!!

Deman Denggi, Drought & The Lion Men #TCRandom

Kampung area will be covered with a layer of smoke as I guess that's how they chase away mosquito by burning dry leaves in the evening Hola people, how was your day today? I hope you don't feel hot with current weather as Melaka is very hot and humid now. *sila hujan* My mind always remind me of "你York了吗?" whenever there is a hot day but the expensive electricity bill stopped me to think of York again haha... I've been hearing and seeing news that friends/their family got caught up with Deman Denggi because of Nyamuk Aedes . So guys be aware of your housing area/neighbourhood and make sure to check and clear up the possible nest for mosquito. I saw KHIND's Facebook sponsored post promoting their electrical mosquito trap but some user comment not effective. (It is not cheap either) I wonder anyone of you is using it and if you have good feedback about it, do share with me so I can take in consideration in purchasing one. This constant hot weather

Adibah Noor @ Shout! Awards 2013. I love this captured moment of her. Looks so enjoy! I don't know if it is accumulated tiredness throughout the weekend or what, I did nothing much on Monday except rest and most of the timeeeeee..... I sleep. Just like above picture, I sleep like a king (in this case queen Adibah Noor) and feel really happy the next day. At least I feel less sleepy and went for a photoshoot with fellow blogger friends this afternoon. Today, a friend of mine wonder how did I manage to become who I am today - a fulltime blogger at TianChad.com . I've shared on how I got into this journey in my 'About Me' but he asked if I can share more details on how I achieve this level specifically. I don't know if there is anyone else who is interested with the story but it reminded me on how I change my career from a biotechnologist into a photo-blogger. I also couldn't believe how I did it but it happened. Everything happen so quickly that it h

Acting cool in the bush  Okie, today is gonna be a random #TBT post as just submitted an advertorial draft and feels like wanna update something for my blog today. Above picture was taken before I went to the event as I couldn't resist the beautiful 'lalang' that growing awesomely as a bush. As usual, I brought my camera attached with my favourite selfie lens - Samyang 8mm Fish-eye (Now you know my secret weapon hahaha) to take a photo in that beautiful corner. I just wish that this happen to my next visit at Broga Hills as the picture will look freaking awesome!! Never been to Broga Hills? Read my post about hiking Broga Hills early in the morning below!

Something is wrong with TianChad.com

A green farm in India, 2013 Heyo people, since few months ago I found out that Google has index less my blog or facing crawling error on my blog. I don't seems to see Google show the correct search result especially when I try to google the recent post that I did. It show the links I shared on Facebook and Instagram instead =( Besides that, I've seen quite a lot .ruwebsite linking to my website. Is it something happening behind TianChad.com or the hosting got issue? Has anyone faced the same issue as well?? I am not sure if it is related to me using Flickr Image embedding services that decrease by Google Search Engine Ranking as all Flickr Image got outbound link to their website... I hope not as I had a disaster before with Picasa Web Album when they suddenly downgrade all photos that I previously uploaded to worst quality image. Other than that, hope that I manage to troubleshoot this issue as soon as possible as it really hurts my blog traffic and visibility on the in

Sunset Selfie

Image
Sunset Selfie @ All Asia Broadcast Centre Sometimes I will go Astro to fetch lovely someone but there was this time where weather was awesome, showing me the beautiful sunset. Since I brought my DSLR along, I went to to take some photos while waiting for my lovely bubu to come out from the office. Found this mirror with striking color and had an idea of capturing myself together with the sunset as well.  *salute* This could be a fun #ootd post too haha. New T-Shirt from Brands Outlet, paired with my favourite jeans from Spit Fire and sporty shoes from Larrie. Maybe I shall start planning on printing my ows T-Shirt with own capture photo on it too. Wonder if anyone selling self-customized T-Shirt with pockets on it. Just like the one I got from Carlsberg's Where's the Party. That would be awesome right? =D If you know any T-Shirt company selling good quality customizable T-Shirt, let me know =) I know Ziccotees, and I am looking for more choices now ya. Hope you can help!

KUMUR

The pink medicine - KUMUR The other day, my housemate came and asked if I still need this bottle of pink medicine. Immediately it reminded me of my awful encounter with it. Well, this happened in April... I went to Klinik Mediviron to consult a doctor because of my long-long-never-cure sore throat and fever. I still remember it cost me RM35 to get a few different medicine capsule and this bottle of liquid medicine. You know when people get sick enough they tends to lose their focus on certain things? It happened to me... I don't remember what the nurse said when she gave me all those medicine. All I could remember is "Oh here's this childhood pink cough medicine again...".  Immediately after lunch, I went to the kitchen to swallow all those bitter drugs, thinking that I would just get better the next day... BUT I never ever thought that the childhood-pink-cough-syrup is never the same again as it is a bottle of "Listerine" for gargle purpose only

Our timelapse dating at Taman Saujana Hijau, Putrajaya

Holla guys, the last time when we were there at The Saujana Hijau (Presint 11, Putrajaya) for pre-wedding photoshoot, we just explored a tiny part of that beautiful place. Therefore, me and girlfriend decided to go there for a dating long walk yesterday to explore the whole area. Instead of doing photoshoot and video recording, I did a timelapse video to document the pathway we pass through and things that we saw. Have a look at the end of this post! Here's me and my 'Bubu'  The cat that 'miao' when we just arrived at Taman Saujana Hijau Cloudy weather @ Taman Saujana Hijau, Putrajaya If you have a motorcycle, you can actually bring your family members for a relaxing trip =)   The flower that smell really good.

The Funny 'Niaseng'

Image
Pure and White I would like to share a funny conversation between a tomboy style waitress, me and my 2 other friends when we visited a Chinese Restaurant. Let's name the manly waitress "Cowboy" and my two other friends "Fifi" and "Nini" . On first note, Cowboy is a very hard-working person as she explain about all the dishes we've asked. Besides that, Fifi looks like a mixed ethnic and always misrecognized as a Malay instead of Chinese (because of her long eye lashes).  *below conversation was in Cantonese and Chinese while Fifi was quiet* Cowboy: Lai lai lai, yew 'Giu choi' deng hai 'Dan Zho' ? (Come come come want to eat what? Individual or share dishes?)  *We ordered a dish of vegetables, steam fish and Claypot Toufu. Cowboy asked if pork slice is okay for the Claypot Toufu. Then Nini ask Fifi in English whether it is okay with her* Comboy: Mm hou yi xi ar, yew mun xin hou dit  (Sorry ar, to be sec

Haze Hazard in Puchong. When will it stop?

Image
Current haze condition in Puchong Last weekend I was attending friend's wedding in Ipoh and the haze condition wasn't as bad as here in Puchong. Feeling really reluctant to come back Puchong as the photo I saw on my Facebook Timeline is all about this hazy view... I went out just now and can't barely see the sky/street...  Here's the view of the street around IOI Mall. Visited Guardian and mask was sold out... Luckily my great buddy Jian gave me a N95 mask just in case I need it. Here's the view of the mosque located nearby my house covered by haze as well: Mosque/masjid covered by haze around it has made it looks moody =(   Visit Malaysia Department of Environment website to check the current air status How to check API(Air Pollutant Index)/ Indeks Pencemar Udara (IPU)  in Malaysia? You can visit Malaysia Department of Environment website to check the current status. Yellow color means unhealthy air condition and you are advised to avoid

New Google Image killed Photo Story Tellers...What now?

Image
Spot that little sparkle that make this photo looks awesome haha Ever since Google did the Google-Image-SEO-Killer-Update, I believe many website who mainly share photoshas a major decrease on their traffic. Let see what has the new image search update do to you: "Google’s January 23 image search update brought high resolution pictures directly within search results, leaving users with little incentive to clickthrough to the sites hosting and licensing the pictures. We analyzed the image search traffic of 87 domains and found a 63% decrease in image search referrals after Google’s new image search UI was released. Publishers that had previously benefited the most from their image optimization efforts suffered the greatest losses after the image search update, experiencing declines nearing 80%. In the aftermath of the new image search experience, image SEO has been severely compromised, and we have no choice but to recommend deprioritizing image SEO when weighe

Brazilian Wax to be a Modern Men. Really?

Image
Hottest Hunk Malaysia 201 3 - Wax to be a modern man Do you know what's the current hairstyle trend  for men 2013 ?? Some people call it the Slick Cut but some call it the Under-Cut. Well, to get someone to cut your hair is easy but what if you wanna get someone to do a Brazilian Wax for men? I thought only girls need to wax unnecessary hair but with the coming trend, more and more hairy men are going for waxing, especially Brazilian Wax. So why do men want to do waxing in the intimate region? Men who shave are now opting to avoid the itchy 'five o'clock shadow' and go for a longer-lasting, smoother solution. Swimmers and body-builders tend to get all of their body hair removed, especially before competition. Personal preference, some guys hate body hair as much as some women! So now to be a fashionable gentleman, it does not only limited to hairstyle and clothing only but also related with your hairs (eyebrows, armpits & intimate region). Well,

Back from India, time for GE13, let's vote!

Image
Hello peeps, I am just back from India yesterday and has been sleeping whole day to recover from diarrhea and recharge myself before I drive back hometown to cast my vote for this GE13 !! This is my first time casting vote for Malaysia's General Election and it will be another new and first time experience for me. Hopefully you guys are casting vote to the right party that you think served you well.  There's always people who like to comment about which party is good/bad but that shouldn't be the thing that ruins yours 10 years friendship. I've seen people fight against each other because they have different stand on the political party that they are supporting; Another funny thing is there are certain people who like to comment or even complain about political party BUT they never register themselves as a voter. So if you are one of them, just keep quiet because you have no rights to comment or say anything about which political party is good/bad and should be v

My Facebook account blocked, can't receive confirmation code through DiGi mobile phone

Two days ago, when I login my Facebook and switched to "Tian Chad @ 永遇乐" admin to update MY Astro 至尊流行榜颁奖典礼 Photo Album. [Usually I just use my main account to do all these because you can switch to admin/person easily] Suddenly I was asked to re-login when I try to reply a comment on the FB Page... So I just relogin and Facebook asked me to verify account by entering the security code that will send to my mobile phone. Security check as below: Facebook Mobile Security Check Now the problem is I can receive any SMS from my friends BUT anything from Facebook is 'disabled' and not functioning. Is it because I renewed my SIM card just few days ago?? I don't know Confirmation code never arrive although I've pressed so many times resent I've tried to email Facebook Support Center through the FB guidelines provided here and this is the reply I got: "Hi, Thank you for submitting this bug report and the taking time to help us impr
