What a surprise. Mac rocks

According to PC's World test, Macbook Pro is the world fastest notebook to run Window Vista. Maybe later i will install the Mac OSX Leopard and will use the bootcamp and load Vista too.....

6 Years old girl..... Wow!!!

Got this clips from Wai Hong ( a friend who have migrated to Mars). Never know British peoples got so much talents. This 6 years old girl really can sing and she did make the nasty Simon Cowell surprise. She looks so cute.....

Hotwheels

Bought this Hotwheels for RM5.90. First time i see this small Hotwheels in my life. Is less then 5cm... maybe i just come out from Kampung. This Hotwheels Go-Kart is so detail and the color with graphics is well combination.

S2000 CR

Honda launching their new S2000 CR (Club Racing) in the recent Tokyo Motor Show. Expected deliver on Q1 2008 in Japan. This beast have a superb new bumper, additional spoiler, F1 cockpit dashboard with digital speedo meter, stock 18 wheels and with a high tune Type R engine.

M4 in Coffee

Coffee lover can shoot your morning coffee shot with this Gun Mug. Designed by a HongKong based design house called Chilli Chilly. The special part of this mug is the trigger handle. Selling for USD16.

Haunted Sharpener

What a sickening and innovative pencil sharpener design. How will you feel every time you poke the pencil in to the dolls eye? Scary.... 18sx... not for kids.

How to Tahan?

How to slow down with the 12" Figures collection? Thought wanna stop after the Appleseed but now come another poison figure. Medicom is releasing a new Raiden, sub character from the Metal Gear Solid 4. Very nice futuristic figure.... is a MUST to have for all 12" figures collector.

Kena Taruk Kau-kau

Today i thought will get some compliment from friends about my flower photos that i posted. But Ahtak really tell me the truth photography of my flower photos. To be a good photographer, must tell a story thru the photo. Not shoot photo like a typical tourist with a SLR. No heart and story in the photo is a dead photo. Thankyou Ahtak.... i will do better next time. :(

Same kind of flower but different feel.

LEGO rocks

Sometime, is good to buy some small toys to kill time. While waiting Huipeng to finish work, i went to Toy'R'us walk-walk. When I checking around in Toy'R'us, there were not much that can catch my eyes.. but LEGO have something special. This LEGO i bought for RM20++, it is a 3in1 transformation set. It can build to a Folk-lift, Trailer and Tractor. Very interesting toys. Tractor is my favorite version.





My favorite Tractor:

Orchid Park

Have plan few weeks wanna go Orchid Park to take some photos. SInce i got George's 2 lens, so i wanna give the 2 babes a try. But in the whole shooting experience, i mostly use my Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Prime Lens. It can't zoom but it give me a very steady shooting (no blur and sharp image) and very easy to control. And i do use George's lens too, the outcome doesn't as good as i expect. Maybe my skill not up to level, so can't bring out the best quality of the Sigma70-300mm F4-5.6 DG MACRO 1:2.

Appleseed Saga EX Machina

I am an AppleSeed fans. If you watch its animation before, you will fall in love with the characters design, weapons, story and 3D animation. Hottoys Movie Master have the license to produce the 12" figure of Deunan Knute (Main girl character) and Briareos Hecatonchires (1/2 Human 1/2 Cyborg). XL-Shop have start the pre-order. 2 figures will cost my wallet RM1,086. Damn ex.... but as you all know, I like to collect Black Color figure. So this poison sure will kill me. Photo from XL-Shop.





Incase you don't know what is Appleseed, this is the clip for the Saga EX Machina:

Round 1... FIGHT!

If you all remember our school time, we used to PONTENG and go Arcade to play the Street Fighter. Use our all time favorite fighter; Ryu and Ken. Just wanna play it at home too, we went to buy Super Famicom, Playstation 1 and PSII just to play the Street Fighter 2 and Street Fighter Alpha. Soon you will addicted to the new Street Fighter 4 developed by Capcom. Very cool trailer on the game. Looks like 2D but it runs like 3D. Maybe we should call it 5D.

Sigma+Tamron=Canon

My Ipoh cousin (George) came down yesterday. We both agreed to exchange lens to play. I use my Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM exchange with his Sigma70-300mm F4-5.6 DG MACRO 1:2 and Tamron SP AF90mm F/2.8 Di Macro Lens 1:1. So now i am planing to go Orchid Park this weekend to try out this 2 lens. Hopefully have good result.

What else China cannot do?

If you read my old post, you will see mobile phone looks like cigarette box. Today i got an email from my friend with some attachment photos of China new mobile phone design. This time lagi (more) special, PDA phone with attachable 6x zoom lens. Beside of zoom lens, it have a built-in Ultraviolet light to scan fake money. What else they cannot do? Crazy products......

Canon VS Sigma

After surfed a lot of photography sites, i got a conclusion that if i want to take nice travel and landscape photos; i need a Ultra Wide Angle lens. The perfect lens will be either Canon's EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM or Sigma's 10-20mm F4-5.6 EX DC HSM. Reading thru all the reviews, most of them highly recommend Sigma 10-20mm F4-5.6 EX DC HSM. Pricing wise, Canon is RM2470 and Sigma RM2150 ( price from Fotodata). What you guys think? Hopefully i can get one of this lens. But i might only use it less then 5 times a year.
Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM:

Some sample photos of Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM i get from other sites.

CIA + PMC

For Hottoys Special Force fans, Hottoys is launching 2 new figures; the CIA and PMC (Private Military Contractor ver.07'). Is now start pre-order at XL-Shop.
CIA:
For me this CIA is nothings great. Just a ACU uniform with a Tan Jacket and hardness pouch. Personally, i think the most interesting gears on this CIA is the new Modern M14 and the DSLR camera which only used in previous Devgru Figures.


I think this CIA head sculpt is inspired from James Franco. Do you think so?

PMC:
Personally i prefer this PMC compare to the CIA cause the head sculpt is so nice with the scarf on it. Look similar to the Metal Gear Solid Snake, but ofcoz this looks more fatter and older. I like the new AKM with Drum Magazines (One of the AK47 family).

Oh Teddy!

So lucky of me, Huipeng get me a very cute Teddy Bear glass from Bangkok last week. I like the wording on the glass said "GOOD IDEAS START HERE". The words are point to the Teddy Bear's body which means all good ideas is came from heart. Totally agreed with it. Love the glass so much.

Speedlite 550EX

Thought wanna get a Canon Speedlite 580EX II on the Canon Expo on 23rd Oct. But on Saturday, David told me he have 2 units Canon Speedlite 550EX at home. He tell me no need to buy and will give me his extra unit (FOC). Wooo... Thanks David. I can save up the RM1500++ for other lens. Now i can use the 550EX to try up some Bouncing Technique.
