Exciting Lifestyle of a Hamster.

Image
Scampered around frantically in a netted. cage. Climbed tiny stairs. Crawled through tubes. Slipped down slippery slides. Squashed in a corner by other hyper active hamsters. Took a break... Sip some water... Munched on tidbits. Then back to scampering. All that really happened when I joined my children at the giant playground in Explorer Kids, Downtown East. We were invited to a birthday party over there. Perfect party venue for kids I would say. Even adults like me enjoyed the fun. Ferris wheel included. If you look at the playground, you will see stark resemblance of a hamster cage. At least now I know the exciting lifestyle of a hamster. Adrian Lee Http://twitter.com/AdrianLee

CareCafe Juicy Hamburger Delight

Image
Tried a new cafe for lunch. CareCafe near Lavender. I had curry vegie rice while Willie had the juicy looking hamburger. There were kimchi noodle and cold noodle. Why care in CareCafe? There are pictures of children on the wall. Children that they support from World Vision. A cafe with a big heart. Then there was a mural on the wall painted by its own staff. Impressive! Go eat at the cafe. Remember to ask for lavendar tea. You'll get a treat. Adrian Lee Http://VideoLane.com

Videographer Shoots in HD, Delivers on Blu Ray

Image
Most common question this week: "Do you shoot in HD (High Definition video)?" Of course I shoot in HD. That's the professional standards today. Home consumer videocams these days are HD. Professional videographers better be higher than that. Gone are the days of recording on tape. Gone are the days of DV. I am ebaying away all my tape machines. The next question you should ask is: "How do you deliver?" Tapes are replaced with memory cards and hard disks. A videographer will not give you a memory card or a hard disk. It will be blu ray disc. What's more: "Can I travel overseas to shoot?" Yes! My video cam can record HD in both NTSC and PAL. That means I can shoot in the US, in Europe, Japan, China, Asia... except underwater. So the next time anyone wants a professional HD videographer, here I am!

The Piano On The Go...

Image
The butterflies fluttered, Tummy to the fingers. Hitting the right notes. Stumbled on others. The first live performance, For a 6-week pianist, Playing a Beethoven classic, Four full pages of Fur Elise. All's well with humour. A natural entertainer. Make it part of the act. Every moment is perfect. Appreciate my piano trainer. 11 year old grade 5 daughter. Packed all stuff for my show. With the piano ready to go. Thanks to the audience, Who watched me play. I love your reactions. You made my day. Adrian Lee Http://Twitter.com/AdrianLee

Look at This Picture. Is this Beethoven or Mozart?

Quiz: 1. Who composed the popular piano piece "Fur Elise"? 2. Why did he create the piece? 3. Who is playing "Fur Elise" Tonight LIVE on stage? (clue: see picture) Answer: 1. Ludwig Van Beethoven. 2. For his lover. 3. I am. My piano teacher is none other than my 11 year old daughter, Cheryl. Took 6 weeks to learn. Playing live on stage in a graduation ceremony tonight at the YMCA, to about 100 people. Butterflies in my tummy are fluttering all the way up to my fingers and brain! Good luck to me!

Look at This Image, is it a Hotel, or is it the Matrix Doorway?

Image
When you visit my office, VideoLane Studio, that's what you will see. Most people think it looks more like a hotel. I think it's more like the movie Matrix where each door leads you to a new dimension. My office door is somewhere in the middle down the corridor. Visit me someday. Have lunch.

Donated the First Bag of Blood! Painless!

Image
Scared at first. How will it feel? What's the feeling of blood being sucked out of your body? The bloody needle was indeed really thick. It pierced right through my big vein on the right arm. Verdict? Painless. No curdling sucking feeling. The blood just flows smoothly into the bag from my arm. Painless also because of friendly staff, a beautiful donor beside me and friends all around. Thanks to Mathew Wong, my friend, who's also the organiser for the event, for encouraging me to make the move. Feels great to have save a life and renew my blood cells. I encourage all of you who hold back donating blood because of fear, to take the first step. It's painless! Adrian Lee http://VideoLane.com
