Poi 2 the PoiPoi

what should I get?

2010-09-05T14:28:00.003+08:00

my bday is coming next week. just wonder what should I get for myself. hmm..
I have been waiting for canon 60D for 2 years and it is a big let down for me. :(

it is still using digic 4, the body is smaller and not metal body like 50D, they remove the back joystick! that is a big no no for me. 'cos I use that to choose which focus point fastter than using a dail! now they remove it will be a big slow down for me.

then it is the memory card. they change to SD card! damn.. now I need to buy SD card if I want to upgrade. :( and battery also change! now they change to using same batt as 7D and 5DmII. meaning I need to buy new batt!!! :(

next in line is 7D or 5DmII. 7D is good but the IQ is the same as 50D and it is just 1.6k diff from 5DmII. might as well go for 5DmII right? but.. 5DmII focusing is slower then my 50D and I see more and more ppl moving to D700 'cos of that.

ah... help!!

ps: post using iPod. hmm or I should get a ipad? haha

2010-08-10T01:18:00.004+08:00

and not to forget, Joel Chu.

see how he beat the uncle compact camera. haha.
and Joel Chu friend. :P
and the last one.

"see pek tua liap eh uncle!" our fellow "photographer" haiz...........
normally i dont really like to shoot this type of free event. too many people and too hot... i mean the weather. haha :P

i m back!

2010-05-06T01:42:00.002+08:00

after last month. my 50D die on my half way shooting Sharon and Kev. lucky there is a work around for changing the setting using different dial if your main dail fail.

yes my 50D main dail die. i can only increase but i cannot decrease my shutter speed. so in-order to change shutter speed or aperture. i need to use GUI method to change the setting each time i change a location.lucky i remember there is still such function! sorry i didn't bring my 2nd body that day. 'cos i didn't expect it to die on me! sorry sorry! sorry for the 10 minutes delay! i hope the set of pictures make up for the 10 minutes!

anyway, this is how my camera return. warp in a plastic bag -.-"
the total damage of the repair is RM280. to me, i can say is cheap. why?

they don't just change the main dail. seems like the whole thing come in one set. so inorder to change that. the LCD, function dail, the 4 button on top and the back two button also replace together!
see see the pic so clear now! last time mine i think got scratch and the dail abit dusty, but now all looks like new!
new LCD also? i don't know. but FY said is not. but y they put on the protection? to avoid scratches? hmm..
anyway, i m happy with the repair. now it looks like new and i got extra 3 months warranty back! wohoo! now is time for some field hard core test again! :D

if you guys hoping me to change 5DMarkII.. hmm not yet. although the price drop around 1K but for me is still too much. but never know right? hehe. sumore 60D coming soon. :D might have new Digic too! :P

2010-05-03T14:21:00.002+08:00

xian ding wei taiwanese tea room

2010-05-03T13:44:00.003+08:00

drop by this new shop for dinner that day. Xian Ding Wei Taiwanese tea room at Queensbay.

the place so crowded so i thought the food must be very nice. but end up very disappointed. this is what i order:
this is the set meal that come with braised prok rice, soup and 3 side dish. it is a pork chop "red" wine set. but the pork just taste like normal pork chop and is super dry and "old".

and for the 3 side dish:
one ikan bilis and 3 nuts and you consider this as one side dish? oO" and the honey dew pearl milk tea. is nothing so great either. you can just get it from the road side and it taste the same.

other then that, the yam cake and bamboo pumpkin bun is nothing so great also. both of it is too oily and the mulberry milk pudding is very artificial.

this place is a big no no for me jor. so, is there anything you guys tested and is nice?

2010 = 2010 unit only

Cheng Beng

2010-04-10T23:32:00.003+08:00

every year on Cheng Beng day i need to go back hometown and pay my respect to my great grandpa and both my grandparents. this year is the 2nd year FY follow my parents for prayers. thanks FY! *mucks*

the reason why i thank her is, she need to wakeup like 3:30am and follow us drive down to Ayer Tawar for about 2 and a half hours. walk into the woods when the sun is not yet shine.
walking in the mud, clean up the place, and countless mosquitoes bite. And she need to do that twice in one morning! then drive back on the same day. she must be really really tired and my parents too. must really really thanks them. :D

but the prayers back there is different from what we do in Penang. there we get to throw this "paper strips" in the end of burning. something everyone enjoy throwing it.
while you throwing it, you shout "HUAT AH!", so the higher it goes the more HUAT you are this year. And this is how high it go this year...
i think.... someone in the family is going to very HUAT jor. heheh.

Zoo World on Facebook

2010-01-21T01:00:00.003+08:00

there is a "stupid social network program" call "facebook". it takes the social world by storm and turn every man or woman, children or old man or lady into internet freak.

now getting more and more uncle aunty into FB-ing and turn alot young guns into FB-pop-star wanabe. posting their song lah, movie lah, trying-to-be-cute photos up in FB network.

and the worst part is there is a lot leecher in FB network. Add some famous person in their "FB friend list", then every person in that person friend list will get invitation to be the leecher friends. you know, is like trying to gain their social network a.k.a friend list into bigger group.

OR trying to Tag that person into a none related photos so everyone in their friends list able to see leecher's "advertisement". it start to get very irritating. i try to find is there any social security setting that i can set so others wont add or tag me without my approval. but dont have such function.

even try to hide my friend list also don't have. right?

other then that, there is alot virus program in FB too. suddenly i post some comment or post which i didnt. or received an alerts saying someone commented on your photos. all that is virus or ppl-got-too-much-free-time-at-home!!

and another that hook on alot person into this social network is the Facebook game.

currently we are having a race in a game call Zoo World in FB and it is between:
1. the girl that never sleep.
2. the guy that is trying to keep up.
3. uncle trying to make profit so LFC can buy more player before the January market close. :P
4. the person who intro it to all of us and starting to give up 'cos of one unicorn!
5. the seeding Zoo for 1. lol!

whahha.. but i m struggling to keep up 'cos i still stuck in the same lvl for so long dee 'cos i can't find any white tiger!!
so if anyone reading this and you have more then 2 white tiger in your zoo. please send one to me, and i will return the tiger to you after that. thanks!

recap

2010-01-19T00:54:00.002+08:00

reading back some of the old post from some of my favorites photographer and i stumble upon this old post:

I’m ONLY a Photographer
Saturday, February 14th, 2009

“I can’t afford this. I don’t have to do this. I’m just a photographer” …not a doctor, lawyer, architect, engineer, not the son from a wealthy family. Therefore…

I don’t need to educate myself
I don’t need to present myself professionally
I don’t need link/network
I don’t need to join & get involved with a professional body (slapping a logo on the website alone does not count!)

Maybe that is why a lot of photographers grossly undercharge because we have such shoddy self-image that we are telling our clients that we worth only pittance.

While a puffed up and over inflated self-image stinks, a lowly one is just as bad. The great thing that has happened to me in WPPI is how it reminded again, that my dream, art and business can be as big as I want it to be. They are limited only by the size of my dream. When this convention is over, it’s time to put my dreams to work.

suddenly all the memory came back

2010-01-17T20:27:00.002+08:00

normally i dont read The Star anymore due to what reason i know every Malaysian know. but today one of my oldest friend ping me and said one of the dragon boat capsized. 4 student missing 1 just found dead and their advisor / teacher also found dead.

News link

suddenly all the memory of the pass came back. for those who don't know, i m one of the dragons in dragon boat race also. back in my skool days. we won 2nd and 3rd in my two years joining the game.

but most of you who are still in the game. i know they always told you the game is safe. the boat never sink. the boat will never capsized. but things do happen. it happen to me also and i m lucky to be still alive.

after reading the news my old memory came back. how it happen in the news is totally the same how it happen to us. But we all manage to stay alive. some able to swim they will swim back some don't will just hang on to the boat.

me? i was floating halfway, somewhere in the middle of the sea trying to stay alive. still remember how it felt like to get stink my jelly fish. not just one but 5 to 6 of them one at a time. lucky my body didnt cram. i only cram when i m off the water.

all thanks to the fisherman who pass by that day. thanks uncle!

so, for those who is still rowing. stay safe. wear your life jacket, although you know how to swim. never know when you might need it. and a piece of advice Never turn your back against the sea.

mission 2010

2010-01-15T00:38:00.002+08:00

2009-12-30T22:42:00.002+08:00

2009-12-30T21:45:00.002+08:00

i have to admit, i m very shy "boy".

although alot people think i m not, but actually i m very shy person.

really i m..... why?

'cos i always wanted to know how people do strobe. i always wonder how CH and Beh do strobe. they are the expert in these two area but i m no where near them.

i wanted to ask them to teach me how. but i m too shy to ask. so i decided to go for a seminar.after following Louis Pang tweet and the alerts keep on popping out from twhirl. i decided to go. hehe.

anyway, i already miss out on Jerry seminar last round. i m not going to miss out this time! =] one training down, 2 more to go for 2010.

hmmm.. which one should i go next? oh ya anyone going for this one?

my first strap

2009-11-19T23:38:00.002+08:00

for the whole year, i have been using grip strap and i m loving it.

but today i decided to give it a change. try back strap, and since this is not the one beh wanted so i decided to give it a try.not bad. i like it too. it feels better and softer compare to canon original strap. but this is much more bulky. :S

i will give it a try a few more days then i m going to give a review of it. :)

for once i feel stress at work

2009-11-13T19:02:00.002+08:00

i know i know, don't jealous guys. i know you guys feel it everyday, i know you guys feel it always. but i feel it everyday too. more then you can imagine.

but why m i complaining now?

i never once can't control my anger, i never once can't control my attitude, i never once got push by other people so hard until i need to force to do things that i know, it wasn't right to do. what about been given the equal right? what about give everyone a fair bet? that my friend it will never happen.

"life is not fair, life never was." i know that deep down in my heart. crafted in me. i know it will never be fair.

i try to be fair, i try to be friendly but sometimes there is so much we can do. haiz.. luckily i got a break next week. hope there is something there, to cheer me up.

45 Lessons in Life

2009-09-29T13:27:00.002+08:00

Joel post this in facebook and i decided to post it here so i can keep on remind myself how to be happy and live longer. want to join me? hehe

Written By Regina Brett, 90 years old, of The Plain Dealer,
Cleveland , Ohio

"To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life
taught me. It is the most-requested column I've ever
written."

My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column
once more:

1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone...
4. Your job won't take care of you when you are
sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch.
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.
8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it...
9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.
10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.
12. It's OK to let your children see you cry.
13. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.
15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry; God never blinks.
16. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
17. Get rid of anything that isn't useful,beautiful or joyful.
18. Whatever doesn't kill you, really does make you stronger.
19. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.
20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.
21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, and wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.
22. Over prepare, and then go with the flow.
23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.
24. The most important sex organ is the Brain.
25. No one is in charge of your happiness but You!
26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words 'In five years, will this matter?
27. Always choose life.
28. Forgive everyone, everything.
29. What other people think of you is none of your business.
30. Time heals almost everything. Give time, time.
31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change
32. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does
33. Believe in miracles.
34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do.
35. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.
36. Growing old beats the alternative - dying young.
37. Your children get only one childhood.
38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.
41. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
42. The best is yet to come.
43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
44. Yield.
45. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift.

i receive this email from a brother who is leaving:

Boys and gals

Ok so I finally got time to sit down and write this down.

First off, I want to thank you all for taking time to have farewell meals with me. Yes, some of you had it twice :)

Errr...what else to say ah? Hmmm....

Well, I believe we all had a good time in and out of the work place. That really, douses the pressure from the network stuff. Thanks for putting up with my antics. I get crazy sometimes hehe. I really enjoyed my time there.

And thanks for bringing me around PG to eat some of the best stuff around, come to think of that, you are the only people I know that do that. Yay to the Penang lang. And badminton....who can forget about badminton...thanks for giving me such a workout on the courts. I guess the courts will not be as wet as before since I was there to generously donating my bodily fluids around previously.

Well who can forget about the Ipoh trip wei. No I did not bring you all go sesat the last time :)
That was one fun trip...when and what's the next trip ah? Who knows I may take off from work if the timing is good.

I doubt my new team will be this fun so I am really fortunate and glad to have came to know you all. I will be dropping by off and on ya.

Ok ok...this is not a karangan, I stop liao. I wish you all good health and fortunes, take care, keep on enjoying life and be ready to laugh at the evil adversity in the face!

Stay strong brotherhood!

there is always a war between "we need better camera function" and not "higher megapixel".

i found this website: http://www.6mpixel.org/en/

The more pixels, the worse the images
It has been known for a couple of years now that increasing the number of pixels in digital cameras does not lead to better images.

i saw this line before somewhere in an article last time when digital camera highest pixel is only 3.2M. one of the professor said that "to achieve what a film quality picture would be, we need pixel up to 6M". That was when no one else had created a 6M pixel camera yet.

and now we got 40M? hmm... so i wonder is people still hunger for more Pixel or Better camera function?

me? pixel i think -+20M is good enough, even 15M is good enough for me. but i m looking for better AF at night (almost dark scene), more AF point (canon), and eye detect AF function in DSLR. hehe.. so what is yours?

why i get 15mm and not 70-200mm

2009-08-12T23:06:00.001+08:00

so i can do alot of this on my honeymoon trip:
are you guys sure want to see my honeymoon pictures? wahahhaha..

hold my horse

2009-08-12T17:14:00.002+08:00

i got the feeling this coming few weeks or months we going to see some new stuff from canon.

first i think is a new SLR to replace my 50D, so i might want to sold mine off pretty soon. who is interested in buying do let me know. the highest bid win. :P

next is one new lens, i think is either 70-200 f2.8 or 24-70 f2.8 'cos i saw a few people start to sell it very cheap now. and also to counter what Nikon already out few weeks back.

hmm.. interesting isn't it? though you want to buy something then a new one come, then by the time you to want to buy it a newer version come again. haha.. in the end nothing :P

i m back...

2009-08-11T11:14:00.001+08:00

Wedding photography charges: why, how & should

Many photographers who want to start doing freelance photography in wedding ask me this question: how much should I charge? So, I thought of writing this article to share my view & philosophy for this subject. Furthermore, I hope this article would also benefit other readers who are looking for wedding photographer to understand why it can be expensive sometimes.

When I first started to do freelance wedding photography as a "part-time job-cum-hobby" 2 years ago, I didn't know how much to charge. So, I looked & asked around to find out what the "Market" is like, ie. wedding photography charges

The "Market"

A typical wedding normally last 10 hours or so. In Miri (Sarawak), photographers (full- & part-time) charge between RM150 to RM2,400+. In other parts of Malaysia, the price goes up to RM10,000 & beyond. So, what is a reasonable price?

Labour cost

Adi, my grass cutter for the past 5 years, get paid RM25 for cutting my grass. He usually spend less than 45 min to cut, sweep & clear the grass. Now imagine a photographer who charges RM300 for a 10 hours shooting, that's without including the hours spent sorting & editing the photos. Is RM300 for a wedding day shoot reasonable? Truth is, many people do not wish to pay RM30 per hour to hire wedding photographer.

Equipment cost

Back to Adi, my grass-cutter, he told me that the grass cutting machine is about RM2500. Let's say we round it up to RM3000, and compare to what you can find in a photographer's bag. What's in my bag easily cost 5 times more. So I should be charging 5 x RM300 = RM1500 for a wedding day shoot; reasonable? For your information, I charge RM988 as of this year (2009) but it’ll be increased soon. Some say I'm expensive, some say I'm cheap.

Therefore, to pay a photographer the same way you would pay a grass cutter, RM1500 seems a good bargain; or is it? Well, that means it cost RM150 per hour to hire a photographer. Again, I say this : Truth is, many people do not wish to pay RM30 per hour to hire wedding photographer.

Interesting fact: a pro-level DSLR cost about RM16,000 and has a shutter life of 150,000 cycles. That means each shutter click costs about RM0.11. Normally, one would do about 3,000 shots and that translate to RM330. So, if someone photographs your wedding using such camera for free, he/she is actually making a loss of RM330, just on equipment wear & tear. That is even if he knows NOTHING about photography, shoot underexposed photos, out-of-focus, missed a lot of things, etc etc.

Don't eat a pine”apple” the way you eat an “apple”

Let’s look at the next level of thoughts on wedding photography charges: There are reasons why a photographer shouldn't be paid like a grass cutter. However, sometimes, a photographer can be paid like a grass cutter. I'll give two reasons & examples here:

1) Precious moment is precious, because it is a moment that once it's missed, it's gone. Unlike cutting grass, if you missed a spot, you can come back the next day. Take this shot of mine for example; it’s a moment of showing love, friendship & care. If I’ve missed that shot, I couldn’t have had it replayed, and even if I did, it won’t be as candid as it was because it was a candid.

2) How much is the price of creativity? How much is the price of an art work? I was learning oil painting from an Indonesian artist when I was a kid. I swear that his work is good enough to hang on any of the 5 stars hotel but guess what? He was selling his painting for less than RM50 a piece. I still remember so vividly that he has just kerosene stove in his room and eat instant noodle for meals. Then, I remember myself standing in front of Picasso’s Guernica in Madrid. This is a piece of work that would worth millions, if for sale. So, let’s take this shot of mine as example... I wouldn’t say it’s Picasso but I like to think I’ve made a little effort with my own creativity & artistic sense. So how much is it worth? Close to nothing, but that didn’t stop me to do what I like to do.

So, I hope you get the picture by now. Hopefully, you’d understand why wedding photography cannot be free-of-charge. You would also know how such a huge range of charges in the market is possible. Sometimes, brand name is a big factor, that’s why a LV bag or a Rolex watch is expensive. Thus, the more famous a photographer is, the higher the price will be. Lastly, should you be charging that price? Should you be paying that price? This is where subjectivity comes in. I’ll end this with a quote of mine:

“There’re always customers in every restaurant, regardless of its price & quality. If you're the customer, eat what you can afford to eat. If you are the owner, make sure you do your best in serving the food and make enough earning so you won’t go bankrupt.”
– Elvis Chung, 2009 –

how-to flip the box in the fastest way

2009-07-04T00:17:00.004+08:00

feeling tired after pack for 2 to 3 boxes and you still got 50 more to go? scare no more. PoiPoi is here to rescue! i came up with this cool idea on my 3rd attempt of flipping and bag the biscuit into the box. fyi, my parent or sister didn't help i do all by myself. :)

first what you need to do is lay down the ready made cardboard box. you can get it in any cake retail store.
then grab the red color majong paper, which you already cut it into small pieces. as for this you can get it in any mini market. put the shiny surface on top of the box.
now flip the bottom side over the red majong paper. look like the pic below.
don't stop there, continue on the 2nd part of the box. the bottom side, flip it and make it look like picture below.
then open it back, and you will look something like this. top and bottom of the red paper is nicely flip. :)
then continue from the side. same thing, flip it on top of the red majong paper.
but this time don't open it back, keep it flip and now flip the top side in to make a triangle shape at the side.
then do the same for the bottom side and you will have something like below. then you do the same for the other side.
and do the same thing. two mini triangle at the side and wala~!
you got a perfect flip and cover with red majong paper box ready to pack!

next you just put in the biscuit you bought...
... and you are done!
so now you got 20 more Boxes to go, good luck! hehe..

ps: the first box take me 2 to 3 minutes to flip and fill. after i figure this lazy way out. i manage to do all 20 boxes in less then 30 minutes. :D

ps: lazy people always came up with the lazy man idea. i will share more lazy man idea when i got. :D

Betrothal gifts and Wedding gifts

2009-07-03T23:56:00.002+08:00

in traditional Chinese wedding we need to go through a few process to get the married done. but as the days goes by these tradition no longer use by the Chinese today and i guess one day it will soon be forgotten.

like those three letters and six etiquette (三書六禮). i don't think anyone knows about it any more. even for me. but among all the things that is listed in there i still maintain a few of it.

like for example the Betrothal gifts and Wedding gifts. i wiki the term and i got this:

Bride price, also known as bride wealth, is an amount of money or property or wealth paid by the groom or his family to the parents of a woman upon the marriage of their daughter to the groom. (Compare dowry, which is paid to the groom, or used by the bride to help establish the new household, and dower, which is property settled on the bride herself by the groom at the time of marriage.) In the anthropological literature, bride price has often been explained in market terms, as payment made in exchange for the bride's family's loss of her labor and fertility within her kin group. Compare this affinal practice with brideservice, which does not rely on a compensatory exchange idiom for ethnological interpretation.

and the Wedding gifts:

The groom's family will then send an elaborate array of food, cakes, and religious items to the bride's family.

atleast now one of the list is done. i still got 3 more to go!

2009-07-02T01:53:00.003+08:00

finish packing wedding biscuit, cleaning up my computer table and setting up my wireless so i can blog.

so here i m done with all the stuff i needed for tomorrow "sang jit" a.k.a delivery day. or you can said money wasting day. a day for me to evaluate how much she worth, and how much i should give her parents.

it is always a sensitive topic to talk about when it come to money. if you are super rich then there shouldn't be a problem. but if you are not (like me) you are going to suffer real bad.

i m not bless by my parents paying everything or anything for my wedding. actually until now is none. i m not bless by getting a super high pay job and can easily pay off everything in a few months time. i m not bless by friends who wishes me forever happy on my wedding. atleast i know there is 2 or 3 who don't.

i m not bless by any of it, everything is on my own. how i survive so far, i don't know. i guess i m just over prepare sometimes but then again it was never enough. all the saving since i got my first job until now is totally gone by tonight. what is left is a few RM in my pocket.

i guess starting today i only can eat RM10 to RM15 a day until i got my pay this month. if not i don't think i can live through the month. hahaha..

sound bad? nah not really. it is just part of the wedding.

ps: will show some photos when i get my PC connected back tomorrow.

wake up this morning and receive a sms while shitting about the news.

get into the car, turn on the radio and in every station you hear is the same singer song all over the radio. you know the news is not fake this time.

come back to office, login to facebook. everyone say the same "what is in your mind msg" you know everyone know about it already.

i guess this time is for real, the king of pop just pass away at the age of 50. it is a surprise for most of us, even his own friends don't want to believe it. i guess it is very hard for us to believe.

to me, he was my pop idol since the day i know what is song. he is the one that get me into music. he is the one that get my family sing the same same song together. he is one of the only singer i can have conversation with my grandma last time.

i guess this is a very big lost to the industry, and there is so many talent that he already bring up but no one can compare to him. he is one of the legend, he is one of the singer that i willing to spend on original CDs! :P

MJ rest in peace. You will always be remember as the king of pop of our time. thanks for all the great song you sing and those great and sad story you bring to us. bless you and rest in peace.

so what will happen to his neverland/wonderland? donation? charity?

what is FIFA Confederations Cup

2009-06-23T00:07:00.003+08:00

The FIFA Confederations Cup is an association football tournament for national teams, currently held every four years. One year before the world cup.

The competition is organised by FIFA. It is contested by the winners of each of the six FIFA confederation championships (CAF, CONMEBOL, UEFA, AFC, OFC, CONCACAF), along with the FIFA World Cup winner and the host country, to bring the number of teams up to eight.

can considered this as a dress-rehearsal for the World Cup it precedes; it uses around half of the stadium intended for use at the following year's World Cup.

CAF = Confederation of African Football; mostly African country from 6 others African federation cups. one of the largest federation in FIFA.

CONMEBOL = South American Football Confederation; Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela.

UEFA = Union of European Football Associations; 56 country and i think everyone know about it. so consider this should be the easy one. :)

AFC = Asian Football Confederation; where Malaysia is and Bukit Jalil is the Headquarters!!! there is 46 members from 4 regional federations. ASEAN, East and West Asian, and Central and South Asian Football Federation.

OFC = Oceania Football Confederation; the OFC is the smallest and is predominantly made up of island nations where football is not the most popular sport. In 2006, the OFC's largest and most successful nation, Australia, transferred to the Asian Football Confederation, leaving New Zealand as the largest federation within the OFC.

CONCACAF = Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football. WAHHAHA the longest name :P; 40 national associations and this is where the US and CR is. :)

DSLR or not

2009-06-22T17:17:00.003+08:00

alot people is buying DSLR. alot people is buying big and new lens.

but have you ever ask yourself do you really need it? what is the reason you buy point and shoot previously and not DSLR? and why now?

ya DSLR price is dropping now but it is not really drop if you look at it clearly. it is more and more model coming out and like canon and nikon, they coming out more low end model to come up with lower price DSLR.

but does it give you better image? does it help you in your photography? the answer is no. not really. the best landscape photography shoot with Point and shoot (P&S), one of the top photographer still shoot in old leica camera with his one and only lens 50mm F1. yet he won a few WPPI awards.

why? you may ask. photography not just stop there when you OWN a better and new DSLR camera. but is the starting of your photography life. you need to spend alot time reading and understanding why and how they make it happen. not just the technical stuff like shutter speed or aperture.

is more to composition, posing and what to shoot and what is not.

to be frank, i spend more time learning then shooting on field (which is bad) and i spend equal amount of money attending workshops and books i bought over the years then the equipment i got.

why? 'cos to me camera is just a tools, the person behind the camera that makes all the different.

ps: i still believe better equipment give you better quality pictures.
ps2: i still believe if i got that lens or that camera i can take that picture too.
ps3: i do believe, one day i will buy all the equipment i wanted then i can stop complaining about it!

how ppl think of me

2009-06-22T16:09:00.002+08:00

i love ppl comment about me. good or bad are always welcome. i also like to comment about ppl alot. and i mean ALOT.

their work, their attitude, their photos. why? i guess the best way for people to actually know you, and how they feel about you is when they commented you. from there you know how ppl think and how you can change from there.

but why when someone complain about me no one commented? links

and when someone say good about people, there is comment. links

i though we are staying in a unfair brutal worlds they only recon when you do bad and not when you do good? haha funny..

sorry for not much blogging lately. been very busy with wedding stuff. really really tired if you do all your wedding stuff alone without getting much help.

dream

2009-06-17T02:45:00.002+08:00

i m not blogging about my nightmare the other day but i m blogging about what is your dream?

what is your dream job? who is your dream girl? what have you done to achieve your dream? have you done enough? or you don't dream of anything and just let the days goes by and act according to how thing goes around you?

up until now i still keep on asking myself what is my dream? what i want? want i need? and what i should do to achieve it.

some people dream of continue studying, going for higher education. follow their dreams, go overseas for their studies. Some people thinking of migrating overseas. Some people dreaming of running their own company. Some people thinking of working for pixel or national geography.

But not everyone have such a big dream, some just want to have a simple life. Some people just want to settle down quickly and have their own family. Some people just want to have a romantic relationship where the hubby or wife is just lovely and caring and for them the world is just between both of them. The rest is just nothing or don’t care.

But what about me? M I satisfy with what I got already? M I hunger for more? M I living in my dream? or I m still far from reaching that.

The answer is all.

I m like living in two dreams; One is my childhood dream and one is what I m dreaming of. Which will you guys pick if you were me?

One is something you already good at and it is not stopping here. You still can go very far if you push it even harder there is no limit to it.

And one is a new dream. A dream that you get inspire of. A dream that you think yourself you are good at but don’t get recognition by anyone you hope for to get acknowledge of. The risk is high and the competitive is even higher.

Which one will you go for? The first or the second?

rebuilding galacticos

2009-06-12T00:22:00.002+08:00

it is official Manchester United have accepted a world record offer of £80m from Real Madrid for the 24-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo.

he had be one of the United top scorer for the last two season. to see him go like that meaning United need to find a striker with his caliber to maintain top form in all european competition. hopefully SAF will finally play Ronney up front with Berbatov and have both of them produce a combine of 40 to 50 goals.

same like how Barcelona is this season. not just Eto can score but messi and henry also. if not mistaken 3 of them combine they produce 70+ goals in leaga.

with £80m MU can buy alot players, or they can bid £40m for Ribery and the other £40m for celebrating CR7 leaving. But will they buy any more players?

with the likes of Edwin van der Sar, Gary Neville, Ryan Giggs, and Paul Scholes all going to retire soon. but we still have Ben Foster, da Silva brothers, Hargreaves, Anderson which i think he is still developing (come on guys he only 21!!). if that is still not enough, we still got Possebon, Serbian starlet Tosic, and Ljajic. they maybe unknown person now but in 1 to 2 season from now one of them going to be a big hit in the transfer market that is for sure.

but it is going to be a big boots to fill for the next no.7 for United. who will it be? i guess in 5 weeks time we should all know :)

Interesting message i got form Tony Robbins:

"I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody." Bill Cosby Do what you know in your soul is right!

i think i need to learn from that. i cant please everyone! *pif pif*

why i dont want to use RSVP

2009-05-27T23:44:00.002+08:00

got ppl ask me why i dont want to use RSVP in my invitation, why i want to write so long line of words just to remind people to reply 1 month before my wedding date.

the reason is R.S.V.P is not a term of english word, it means "Répondez s'il vous plaît", a French phrase that translates to "please respond" and word for word means "respond if you please" from Wiki.

but how many of you guys know what RSVP means if you dont go Google it or you yourself getting married soon? since last time when i receive invitation they write there RSVP i m like WTF is that?!?

RSVP for me it means Resource reservation protocol (RSVP), a Transport layer Internet protocol.

or even

RSVP = Retired & Senior Volunteer Program!

so, i m not using it. Atleast for the one i send to most people b'cos i do get alot question asking me back what is the meaning RSVP and i need to send them to wiki links.

today is the last day i get to work with CM, after that she off to another team but still in this company. but then we decided to give her another farewell, brotherhood style! which is....

more FOOD and more laugh!! giggling all the way until your stomach is full of air and food! hehe.. so we decided to try something new, something we all never been before.

so we decided to go for korean food, the new shop DaoRae at bayan point. we already decided to come here since lunch and Joel already decided what to order although he just order his lunch at that point! hehe..great place, nice atmosphere, great service, and very helpful and very polite attitude. i been to a few korean shop (thanks for my wife recommendation), but Daorea can really be at the top of my korean food list.

their BBQ meat is really really well marinated and the portion is quite big. they can improve on their SOS to go with the vegi and they should provide more variety of vegi for us to fold together with the meat. But overall is not that bad 'cos the korean herbs they use to marinate their pork is GOOD!

And the most important thing is we have lots of fun. alots of kids running around, family all having their dinner and not to forget the place is always PACK! we need to wait 5 to 10 minute to get our table BUT it is all worth the wait!

They give us FREE KOREAN Pizza/Kek (with worth RM25) and one bowl of Steam Egg (with worth another RM10) all for FREE! maybe we order alot (SamKyubSal RM27, Bulgogi RM40, Hanbang Dweji Rm35 and bimbim-bab RM19) but there is no gov tax but only service charge 10%. which is a good deal! not to forget all the small small side dishes they all give and they keep on refilling it for us!

ah i m so full now.. time to sleep.. bye choon mei, hope you had a great time with us and don't look so sad ler~
we should all do the BK SMILE~!
hehe.. all the best MEI!!

we won.. again.. :P

2009-05-14T18:07:00.002+08:00

me: "ok. that RM1 and 80 cents coins"

me: "huh?" *shock*
me: "eer.. nope.. do i look like one?"
cashier: "oh ok.."
