Penang Invasion

Just 3 hours after the fireworks, we decided to invade Penang for 4D3N. We are so flexible. Lol.

Day 1 - We stopped at Taiping as my friend, Shaun have to send some things there.

We stopped by the Taiping Lake Garden for some photoshoot.

After that, we found this swimming in the lake!!

Later, we head straight to Penang and first thing is we went to find some famous local food *yummy*

Day 2 - Woke up and check out from hotel. Went to find local breakfast delicacies. Then went to Queensbay Mall for some shopping. And we guys kinda regretted going there as we actually spend money inside the mall!

Later, we met up with Shaun's friends for dinner and also midnight drinking =)

Day 3 - Woke up quite late. Headed to Indian mamak for some nasi kandar and then to cendol/asam laksa which is few blocks away from the mamak. After that, headed to Ming Xiang Tai for tau fu fah/siew pao and other chinese biscuit. We went to Batu Feringgi for beaches, dinner and also another midnight drinking.

Day 4 - Last day at Penang. We first stop at Thai/Burma Buddhist Temple. Then we went back to our hotel nearby for some prawn mee*slurp* and tau fu fah again!! Later we went Kek Lok Si before we return back to KL. But we overshoot the turning and we went to Air Itam Dam instead. Lol. The scenery was amazing to look at and also the fresh air. We stopped by Ipoh for chicken rice before finally touch down at KL =)

Next stop is Pulau Perhentian!

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 =)

Mercedes-Benz SLR

Prosche Carrera GT

Aston Martin DBS
