Harap2 jumpa balik. Amin.

I'd lost my PSP. I dun think I brought it to Taiping. I dun even remember seeing it selama keluar dr rumah sampai la tiba ke rumah semula. Pass masuk office pun hilang. Ok, lets call it misplaced. Jenuh dah cari ni, sampai mau ilang2 mood. *sigh*

Doakan jumpa semula ya dgn kedua2 item ni. Penting ni. :(

Maaf la, masih sibuk buat masa ini

Oh ini teaser. hehehehe.

Updates on Taiping aku tak dpt nk buat skrg, ade perkara2 yang perlu disetelkan sblm aku start cuti Khamis nnt. Aku cuti utk study, exam first paper pada hari Ahad dan aku rase tak sampai 10% pun yang ade dlm kepala ni pasal subjek yang nk diexamkan. Jadi kene konsentret mautan nih.  Aku try update bila ada kesempatan, kalau tidak lepas exam la, that means after mid April.

Hari ni asyik teringat seseorang. Apesal ntah. I hope it's temperamental aje (btol ke terms ni). 

Ah, aku rindu tidur lena yang puas atas katil sendiri. Nak tidur cukup 6 jam. Dah lama tak dpt mcm tu.

Canon EOS 500D (Digital Rebel T1i or Kiss Digital X3)

Amstelveen, The Netherlands, 25 March 2009: Canon announces the new 15.1MP EOS 500D which offers photographers an outstanding combination of features. Following the launch of the first Canon EOS camera to shoot movies – the EOS 5D Mark II in September 2008 – Canon now brings Full High Definition (HD) video capability to consumers in a compact and lightweight DSLR.

The new EOS 500D features a 15.1 Megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor – ideal for large detailed prints or enormous cropping possibilities. For shooting in near-dark conditions, the EOS 500D offers a high ISO sensitivity up to 3200 which is expandable to 12800, giving photographers the power to shoot in the dimmest light conditions. Outstanding noise reduction is made possible by Canon’s DIGIC 4 processor.

The EOS 500D heralds a new way for photography enthusiasts to capture their world. It pairs outstanding still image capture with Full HD 1080P video recording. For longer video shoots, users can also choose lower shooting resolutions of 720P or VGA.*

Every detail revealed
Exacting image preview and review is provided by a 3.0” Clear View LCD screen.The same screen as used on the acclaimed 5D Mark II, it features a 920,000 dot count – for ultra-detailed image review, accurate focus checks, and clear access to the EOS menu system. As well as aiding shooting from awkward angles, Live View mode includes contrast based and Face Detection AF options. Ideal for newcomers to digital SLR photography, these allow compact-camera style auto focus, with a real-time image displayed on the LCD.

Fast processing, fast focusing
Canon’s DIGIC 4 processor drives continuous shooting speeds of up to 3.4 fps in bursts of up to 170 JPEGs**. Using Canon’s wide area AF system – which features 9 individual sensors, including a central cross type point with a high precision sensor for f/2.8 or faster lenses– makes capturing split-second action sequences possible.

DIGIC 4 works in conjunction with the CMOS sensor to deliver exceptional noise reduction and 14-bit image processing for smooth gradation of tones and natural-looking colours. In addition, DIGIC 4 enables the ultra-fast start-up times and near-instant image review after shooting that photographers demand.

Distinctive EOS quality
Despite its compact, lightweight body, the EOS 500D includes all the hallmarks of the EOS system. Every detail of the EOS 500D – from the large, bright viewfinder to the famously intuitive EOS menu system – is designed to provide users with a world-class shooting experience.

Image quality is protected by the EOS Integrated Cleaning System, which reduces, repels and removes unwanted dust from the sensor. Stubborn particles can be easily removed in post-production by using Dust Delete Data – which can be added to the image in-camera – and Canon’s included Digital Photo Professional software.

Digital Photo Professional software offers a comprehensive RAW editing package, with functions such as a quick check tool, a cropping tool, and a stamp tool – plus the ability to change brightness, White Balance and Picture Styles in RAW images. The software suite is included with EOS Utility and Picture Style editor for unrivalled versatility.
Compatibility with the full range of Canon’s EF and EF-S lenses and EX-series Speedlites – including the exceptionally compact, powerful new Speedlite 270EX, which features a bounce and zoom head, plus fast recharging from just 2 AA sized

batteries – allows the creation of a shooting system as unique as the photographer using it.
“The EOS 500D pushes the boundaries of what photographers can demand from their cameras, combining exceptional images with full HD video,” said Rainer Fuehres, Head of Canon Consumer Imaging, Europe. “Photography enthusiasts can now capture their most significant moments in a manner that matches their creativity.”

Any Canon photographer can register for the CANON iMAGE GATEWAY service, which allows access to the latest EOS information, useful updates and exclusive EOS content – plus tools that allow users to create their own video podcasts and store images online.

Features at a glance:

* 15.1 Megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor
* Full HD movie recording with HDMI connection for viewing and playback on an HDTV
* ISO 100-3200 (expandable to 12800)
* 3.4 frames per second continuous shooting
* Max. 170 large JPEG images in a single burst
* 3.0” ClearView LCD with Live View mode

Rocket - Yuna

Rocket - Yuna

You're like a rocket in my mind
That's waiting to define everything about me no one knew
And you stick like a poster on my wall
As if you dont wanna move

I got no money in my pocket
Nobody to rock with but you
But you know me I don't sing that well 
Somehow we managed to get through

People come and people go
And people gonna come some more
They pick a fight But it's alright
At least I get to see you tonight
Tonight

I can't believe we almost got famous for nothing baby
You came the last minute of panic to save me
I can't believe we almost got paid for nothing baby
Cause even if they go away
I got the feeling that you're gonna stay

It's like I'm picking up a miracle off the sidewalk
Like kitten in the box
Don't contemplate yourself, you say
Cause you're all you've got
I'm a sadic and pathetic at the same time unlike you
Baby you've got no move
And you think I'm good at what I do

People come and people go
And people gonna come some more
They pick a fight But it's alright
At least I have you home tonight
Tonight

I can't believe we almost got famous for nothing baby
You came the last minute of panic to save me
I can't believe we almost got paid for nothing baby
Cause even if they go away
I got the feeling that you're gonna stay

You're like a rocket in my mind
Waiting to define everything about me

You're like a poster on my wall
Sticking, don't wanna fall
As if you dont wanna move

Back to normal, Taiping will be missed.

Saya sudah pulang. Sudah sampai rumah ptg td. Actually i do bring my Macbook along with Along's celcom broadband. But i dun have time to update tho. Gambar pun xde upload while i'm there.

Bangah n kids dtg rumah td mlm. Dah lama tak ambil gambar diorang, i just grab Lola and snap. But i figured i have problem of sharpness and focus lately. Nak kena bertenang dan fikir why and find solution. As for now, back to normal life, got so many things to do. Ade byk giler benda yang near dateline. Phew, harap2 sempat la.


Please dun mind the background. This is their fav playing spot, kat mesin gegar lemak berirama. At this age diorang dah suka bergambar. esp Amir, mcm2 pose die suruh snap. Siap tayang2 perot. haha. Back when they're smaller susah juga, asyik berlari je kalau nampak kamera. Tapi skrg dah suka, tapi kena tunjuk kat dia gambar lps snap.

hm... need a good rest. Lotsa things coming tomorrow, and got to make sure my aching foot ok on tuesday to play squash.

*cerita Taiping aku update later la ye.

bile nk tayang kt panggung? wajib tonton ni.

Sigma 30mm f1.4

Totally unedited. Credit to Amru.

Exiff data:

Camera:	Nikon D80
Exposure:	0.001 sec (1/1000)
Aperture:	f/1.4
Focal Length:	30 mm
ISO Speed:	200

I lurve this lens. It's a prime lens. and the image quality is undeniable. Wider then the famous prime 50mm. Boleh baca review tentang lens ni di sini.

This is a Nikon lens la, but for Canonian, according to KenRockwell.com

"If you shoot Canon, forget this Sigma and get the superior Canon 28mm f/1.8 EF for less money."

Ok, kalo tgk kat Shashinki, a brand new Sigma 30mm f1.4 cost u RM1,895, while Canon 28mm f1.8 EF USM cost u RM1,850. Lebey kurang je hargenye. Tapi ikut kemampuan aku, bley la amik Canon 28mm f2.8 berharga RM885.

Phew, bercerita tentang lens ni boleh buat ati sakit juga kadang2, bukan sbb ape, sakit ati sbb tak dpt nak beli. For me, investing in a good lens is better dari investing in a good body. But the best investment is of course to invest in both good body and lens la. Tapi aku sedang piker nk upgrade body, nak cari yang focus point nye byk sket. Mcm 450D atau 50D ade 9, senang sket nk buat RO3 kalau pakai prime 50mm. But i wonder, for D40 user, ade 3 je kan? cane korang carik accuracy sharpness tu eh? Aku kurang ariff byk bab Nikon ni.

Sudah la cerita pasal kamera. Esok aku nk g Taiping, tp gile banyaaaaaaaaaak benda blom setel. Takpela, harap2 esok kalo aku tdo je dlm kete sepanjang perjalanan Mr Driver tak marah. Hehehehe.~*

*blog dan online akan berhenti berehat sehingga hari Ahad. Nope, aku tak bawak Marc skali, kasi tinggal kt rumah. Kalo ade mane2 tempat yang boleh lyn wifi, aku maybe online gune PSP.
