No cats in apartment...

Image
there is a reason why pets are not allowed in apartments..the very same cat has been terrorising my front door for the past 1 year..she is just like an energizer bunny..always giving birth to new kittens..omg..when will she stop...i really cant stand the sound of kitten screetching on my door... say no to kitty...

Rabiit for food..

Image
Recently during chinese new year i went to my relative house..they have a lot of cute bunnies..and i ask them , what do you do with it? well they say ..food of course.. What do you guys think of eating bunnies.? Some say it is cruel, some say eating bunny or a cow does not make any difference..

Garden LifeStyle Store and Cafe in 1 Utama

Image
Garden LifeStyle and Cafe in 1 Utama is cosy, look more like an english style cafe to me. Dining here is a nightmare..The waiter is polite and good but the food take a very very long time to reach me..A curry mee which take more than 40 minutes to reach me? that is rediculous.. They gave me this free cheese cake as way of saying sorry. Not bad. very good service recovery. The food here is just ok. The price tag here does not justify the quality of the food served here..maybe that is the trend nowadays..to get some kopitiam food, package it nicely and create a so call classy environment and charge you a premium for it..i can get the same type of food outside a normal chinese kopitiam with less than half the price sold here..

F4 Restaurant in Sunway USJ .

Image
This F4 restaurant is situated in the Sunway USJ industrial area..first of all i dont know how they get their license to operate a restaurant in industrial area..as far as i know all restaurant need to have a set of "renovation rule" such as tile to be a certain number of height, etc..but this F4 just somehow manage to put it through.. Maybe the restaurant owner is a good friend of some other politician in Sunway.. We are talking about 100 tables here..not your usual small business..this is big business i am talking about...well maybe tax free, maybe not..most of the captain who are taking order here are from China. I have seen more and more chinese from China work in restaurant nowadays.. The food here is so so only. I think the main attraction here is the price..I dont think there is other place in sunway usj where you can order chinese 10 course cuisine without breaking your piggy bank,..

Panasonic 20mm f1.7 for micro 4/3

Image
Panasonic 20mm f1.7 for micro 4/3 is the fastest prime for m4/3 very tempting to get one but then i already have the 4/3 leica 25mm f1.4 so this will be a redundant to me.. the only reason i would go for this i the size..

Olympus is launching E-5

I suspect Olympus is launching another flagship the Olympus E5. . New Olympus Teaser The Olympus E3 is way overdue.. even the latest E-P1 have better sensor and IQ compare to your flagship. What a shame.. The list of stuff i would like to see in the upcoming Olympus E5 are:- 1. Better high iso performance. give me at least an usable iso 3200 2. Smaller and lighter. 3. Add in Auto HDR 4. Add in Art filter 5. Add in Panorama Sweep function just like the sony .. 6. Add in GPS tag support 7. Higher FPS..make it at least 10 fps. Otherwise dont call it a flagship... 8. Improve noise reduction function. I still see hot pixel in long exposure..damn it. 9. Improve the auto gradation function. Right now turning it on will do more harm than good to the photo Image quality 10. Video recording in HD 30 fps and 24 fps mode enabled 11. Stereo audio recording capability 12. Make it really weatherseal as i hear more than 1 encounter where sand got stuck on the button and some other area..or should i sa

Let There Be Light - Joe McNally

Image
This is Joe McNally setting up his computer for the next session...( picture taken using Olympus EP-1 iso 1600 . Double click to enlarge) I attended Joe McNally - Let There Be Light seminar recently in Shangri La hotel. At first i feel silly. I was thinking why would i pay rm380 to attend a seminar just to listen to some marketing talk and most probably another prograganda to promote the wedshooter.tv website or worst another nikon marketing agenda. But I was wrong..the opening by Louis Pang is very inspiring too. The Guerilla Lighting guide by Louis Pang shows us what to expect and do during a typical boring wedding shots. A few tricks was shared during this session but somehow i hate the idea of Louis keep on emphasizing on the promotion of the wedshooter.tv i mean i dont pay rm380 to come here to listen to some marketing talk. I know rm380 is not a lot to others but it means a lot to me. Other than this i would rate Louis as a very humble guy who is good in wedding shot and most pro
