Tsunami in Japan 3-27-11 @ Niami (video)
6.5-magnitude quake strikes off Honshu, tsunami alert issued
But 0.5m tsunami not expected to cause major damage
by AP Updated 07:30 AM Mar 28, 2011
TOKYO - A magnitude-6.5 earthquake shook eastern Japan off the quake-ravaged coast this morning, the United States Geological Survey reported, prompting Japan to issue a tsunami alert.
There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries, but the Japan Meteorological Agency announced that a relatiely small tsunami of up to 0.5m may wash into Miyagi Prefecture.
The alert was prompted by a quake that the US Geological Survey measured at 7.23am Japan time (6.23am Singapore time) near the east coast of Honshu.
The USGS said the quake was 5.9km deep, and struck near the Miyagi prefecture.
This follows the magnitude-9 quake off Japan's north-east coast on March 11 triggered a tsunami that barrelled onshore, triggering a humanitarian disaster that has killed and left homeless thousands of people.

Lady Gaga's new single, 'Born This Way', has been banned from total airplay in Malaysia.
Radio stations have agreed to not play the track in full due it's pro-gay lyrics.
An indecipherable noise has instead been placed over the lyrics which were said to be "offensive" to the religious beliefs of Malaysia.
One of the lyrics to have been omitted is: "No matter gay, straight or bi, lesbian, transgendered life, I'm on the right track baby."
Amp Radio spoke to the Associated Press about the censorship.
"The particular lyrics in 'Born This Way' may be considered as offensive when viewed against Malaysia's social and religious observances."
"The issue of being gay, lesbian or [bisexual] is still considered as a 'taboo' by general Malaysians."
Pan Khee Teik, a gay rights activist from Malaysia, has criticised the move, stating the radio stations should act as "a platform for marginalised voices and create understanding - not perpetuate ignorance and hate".
Teik added: "Lady Gaga was attempting to address this very thing in her song. How dare they play that song and cut out its shining heart?"
A REPLY FRM LADY GAGA for above matters
KUALA LUMPUR: Lady Gaga has urged young Malaysians to protest the censorship of lyrics in her hit song that encourage acceptance of gays.
The Associated Press reported last week that radio stations in Muslim-majority Malaysia were playing edited versions of "Born This Way" that use garble to replace the lyrics: "No matter gay, straight or bi, lesbian, transgendered life, I'm on the right track, baby."
Lady Gaga criticised the censorship during a visit to Google company headquarters in Mountain View, California on Tuesday.
"What I would say is for all the young people in Malaysia that want those words to be played on the radio, it is your job and it is your duty as young people to have your voices heard," the pop star said in an interview that was posted on YouTube.
"You must do everything that you can if you want to be liberated by your society. You must call, you must not stop, you must protest peaceably," she added.
Broadcasters have said they are being cautious with Lady Gaga's song because Malaysia's government forbids offensive content.
They risk fines of up to RM50,000 ringgit and other penalties for breaking the rules. - AP

Crossing the bridge noodles is a kind of rice noodle soup from Yunnan province, China. It is one of the most common dishes in Yunnan cuisine. I was here at this YUN NAM CAFE @ JB near austin heights to try tis. It was introduce by the waitress. It cost RM16.00 per bowl, kind of expensive but worth trying for a taste.
HISTORY
he bridge-crossing noodle's origins are uncertain. One likely theory is that it originates from a bridge in southern Yunnan in Mengzi County, where there is a rice vermicelli tradition at least 100 years old.
Another explication is in the following story; A scholar was studying hard for his imperial exams. A large earthen pot was loaded individually with pig bone or chicken soup. Noodles and other ingredients were kept in another container. When his wife combined them just before eating, they became a nutritious bowl of steaming noodles. This was thought to have two advantages: a thin film would form on the surface of the soup, keeping it warm, and eating became more efficient because the noodles and soup were together. This allowed the student to study harder.

POPULAR Hong Kong actor-singer Raymond Lam admitted that he was the one sleeping beside Taiwanese model Pan Shuang Shuang in photos published by a Hong Kong magazine, Sin Chew Daily reported. The photos were exposed by the magazine recently and Lam admitted that he was previously in a relationship with Pan. It was learnt that Pan shot the photos while Lam was sleeping. He said he was unaware that his photos were being taken at the time. Lam said he had dated Pan for several months after meeting her during shooting for a drama series. He said they had even met with both sets of parents but they separated a few months later due to differences in their personalities and Lam’s busy schedule. Lam said he has not contacted Pan since the break-up. (source : thestar) Raymond Lam (born 8 December 1979) is a Hong Kong actor and singer under contracts with TV station TVB and EEG's Music Plus label. (wikipedia) Name: Pan Shuangshuang 潘霜霜 Actress in ‘bedroom photo’ scandal said to be married (update on Monday March 21, 2011) MAVIS Pan Shuangshuang, who is involved in the leaked “bedroom photos” with Hong Kong actor Raymond Lam, is married, Nanyang Siang Pau reported. A netizen alleged in an online article that the 24-year-old Chinese model-actress, nicknamed “Little Shu Qi” for her voluptuous figure, was married to a Caucasian named John in 2009 and that the “cupid” was Malaysian artiste Eric Moo. The article had a picture of Pan and John posing together. In Moo’s blog message in 2009, the singer-composer wrote that he had received a telephone call from a person named John, who “requested him to write a proposal song” for him after he fell in love with a Chinese girl. “I was touched by the romance and love story between him and Shuangshuang. The following three days, I fully concentrated in writing the song. Their love reminds me of the love between myself and my wife,” he wrote. Moo later admitted that he had written a song for John but claimed that he was not the cupid because he did not know Pan. (source : thestar)

No Pants Day @ taiwan. Girls go pant-less on Taiwan subway. First in New York, then in Chicago, and now it seems 'No Pants Day' has hit Asian shores as young Taiwanese girls decided to go pant-less for one day, and ride the subway in their panties.
The no-pants subway ride is annual event first started in New York City, by Improv Everywhere - a comedic performance art group which carries out pranks or 'missions' in public places to celebrate silliness.
Popular among Western countries, the only Asian country that participated in the event last year was Tokyo, Japan. This year, Taiwan is the new addition to the 2011 list.
A reader, who saw the video of the mission in Taiwan, wrote into STOMP. He said: "I would love to see be on those trains the girls are on!
He added: "Wonder if it would happen in Singapore, but I doubt so."

Kluang Clock Tower @ Johor
The name Kluang comes from the Malay word keluang, which means a type of flying fox or rather a type of fruit bat. Alas, the critters have almost completely disappeared, and some suspect that the town was named after two mountains that resemble the head and wing respectively of a bat from a distance.
a visit to kluang while working at johor. I supposed to go to Tasik Sembrong for sunset pictures but it doesnt work out. Tasik Sembrong (new name) also know as Tasik Manong at KLUANG. A place to watch sunset if the guard let you in. This is a dam area & belongs to the m'sia government. the view fr sunset was the other side, so if the guard let you in, it's awesome.
location : Next to Kem PLKN Sembrong. if frm PLUS expressway, exit at Ayer Hitam.
according to the guard, you can see a very large full moon on the rite side of above pix.
i think tis place can take star trail if the sky is clear .. cause its kind of high here & windy.
SCAPES OF MALAYSIA : Beautiful Landscapes of Malaysia. A website which gives you a photographer experience & beautiful pictures of landscape in Malaysia. The author is also a member of CASH STUDIO. Please view few of the article with pictures below by the author.
Being extremely lazy on the keyboards, I would say that I have not succeeded in any of my previous blogs…well everyone has got resolutions for the new year…and mine, is to have at least an ongoing and “active” blog on my photography.. 
It’s been 2 years since I got my first DSLR (Canon EOS 40D)and had upgraded to the 5DMK2 now. Photography has now became a serious chapter in my life and this is where I hope to share my journey with the world, my journey to record the beautiful lights and scape that mother nature has got to show.
The image shown above is one of my final clicks for year 2010, it was taken at a new found lake in Puchong, Malaysia, named it after the founder of the lake (Alex). As for now we will see if I can last till my next final click of year 2011.
Happy new year all!

Location: Pantai Ria, Muar, Malaysia
My schedule was pretty packed for the past few days, attended one of the conference that has got nothing to do with landscape photography, well…maybe a little…anyway it was the 1st Creative Asia Conference held in Malaysia and I got to meet Joe McNally, Mike Langford, Michael Greenberg, Manny Librodo, Jason Magbanua, Daniel Capobianco and our local wedding photographer’s hero Mr. Louis Pang…just to mention a few of those “big names” in the industry…kinda going way off topic here am i?? LOL
Back to my landscape story, this is another shot from one of the many hidden beaches in Muar, a very surprising yet lucky find cause initially we planned to head back to Seri Menanti but to our dismay the tides was like before very low, without much thought we explored to other nearby location and ended up here in Pantai Ria.
Why the title? Sneezing Landscape? well it’s pretty funny when we were shooting with a bad flu, with all the sneezing and coughing I ended up with tissues stuck to my nostrils, some creative white foreground (O.o)!…it just kinda spoil the whole ambient of the beautiful surrounding, but guess I did some justice to it as I find this image here kinda peaceful and at least you do not need to bear with all the AHchoooo and Achewwwssss.
