The End of 10's

Goodbye to 2010 and say Hello! to 2011.

2010 was a quite a memorable year for me as many ups and downs events happened in the year.

Nevertheless, there is time for me to turn over a new leaf and move forward with 2011 resolution =)

But nothing is greater than my new 60D in 2010!!

Yes, I've upgraded from my 450D to 60D due to some "technology".

And 60D end my year with a bang.

Me and few of my friends including my babe of course; went to Desa Park City to catch fireworks.

Previously wanted to go to Sunway Pyramid but I do not know the exact location of fireworks.

We reached DSP around 11.15pm and only managed to find car park 15 minutes before midnight. We rushed to the lake and it left 5 minutes before midnight.

We wasn't prepared to adjust the settings but luckily I did read up some guide through 

digital-photography-school website. Here are few shots that I managed to capture :)

When the fireworks over, we realized that the launch area was just less than 1km away from our spot. Now that's 3D *thumbsup*

And I save the last for the best =)

Our little planet

Just now when I was about to enter my house, I saw a full moon and I took a picture of it.

Somehow wanted to utilize the 135mm :)

This is what I have after PP the picture.

60D Review

14/12/2010

This is the day that I bought my 2nd DSLR body which is the Canon 60D.

I never thought that I will buy it considering the price and I wasn't really aware of the potential of it.

Hence after trying it in Pavilion Canon, I decided to get it after days of researching the advantages of it over my 450D.

After getting it today, here's my simple review about 60D.

Body quality - This is certainly different from 450D as the 60D is made of polycarbonate resin with glass fibre on aluminium chassis compared to 7D or 50D which is made of magnesium alloy. My question is, how often you drop your DSLR on the floor? It will not affect the quality of the picture.

Processor - 60D uses DIGIC 4 which definitely faster than 450D DIGIC 3.

LCD Screen - This feature is one of the key selling point for this model. The LCD can swivel which allow the user to use in a difficult angle. And erm, easier to camwhore also.

Special Effect - This in-camera creative filters allow the user to capture images with the selected special effect which consists of Grainy B&W, Miniature, Toy Camera and Soft Focus.

Dial Mode - This is one of the feature that some users might complain about. In order to turn the dial, user must press the center of the dial to unlock then only can turn. This is to avoid accidental mode changes.

Movie mode - Though I never record a movie using a DSLR since 450D doesn't have this feature, but I may find it useful someday somewhere when the time comes.

Oh ya, and not to mention that I can shooot without worrying of ISO limitation!!! I can simply boost up till 6,400 to snap pictures without flash. Then, pp it to give better quality pictures.

This is my review of the 60D so far. Will post some fresh pictures from it soon =)

Random-ness

Exam has ended. Year 1 is a certainty to completion.

Gran Turismo 5 is yet to be in my grasp. Haven't receive confirmation from the seller though.

Porsche 1/24 need 22 type of paint colors to complete. That would cost a staggering of Rm165 on the painting only.

Wanna work but the company doesn't have any new project yet.

Weather is not being friendly to me. Mostly everyday rain rain and rain that kept me away from cleaning my car.

=(

To-Do-List

Exam is nearing to its end soon.

And it's time for me to practice macro photography during the holidays.

Instead of taking all those common insects, it shall be 1/24 plastic model car as the subject of the month.

So, hopefully my budget will allow me to get the car kits that I want =)

My 22nd birthday

It's my 22nd birthday this year and this time around the celebration got better than the past :)

Pre-celebration from friends is always a good way to kick start the "once in a year" event.

Went to Nyonya Imperial as it is suggested by Shaun and Kai Li.

But actually it is a surprise birthday dinner with my friends. I thought it was just a dinner between me and her but I was wrong. And guess what, it was a good dinner.

Thanks guys. Oh ya, girls too =)

Then we stopped by Snowflakes before heading to Yin Hoo's grave which is the Desa Park City. Also it is the same route to Tunes Hotel.

At the Tunes Hotel, I was given a surprise gift by my baby.

First it was the flower petals in a heart form on the bed. It was so nice and sweet.

I never expect that when I entered the room. Next is the safe deposit box challenge.

She told me it was "4 digits" so I thought it was our date or something.

Then she said it was "8 digits" and starts with I Love You. Lol.

Inside the box, there was a black bag labeled "Braun Buffel".
After 4 years, I've finally changed my wallet and this time, it was a nice one =)

On the 26th itself, we took sandwich at Hoagies for breakfast. It was pretty nice and delicious sandwich.

Then at night, went to El Cerdo for some piggy action.

We ordered 4 different type of sausages and a half piglet. Oh, and also a glass of beer to go along with the food.

The food at there was excellent. Good environment and friendly waiter/waitress. Not to mention the boss went table to table and have a nice chat with the customers.

Before eating the piglet, there's this tradition whereby a person which is called "Guest of Honor" will choose an option before using the plate to cut the pig. Then make another wish before throwing the plate into the bucket. It was a great first time experience for me.

Nonetheless, this year birthday party was a blast for me. Everything went well and thanks again to everyone for their wishes and also the celebration.

Happy 3 years and 9 months to my baby <3

So many ups and downs throughout the years and we overcome all the problems including the bitches.

Love you loads
