DIY Flip It!

Haha! I made my own DFD Flip It Pro! In case you all don't know, it functions as a bounce and diffuser for the external flash unit. The retail price is a whooping RM 160 for few pieces of plastic. If my dad knew that I've bought it, i might get killed.. ahha..but i didn't, I made it my self.. n here u go! Kenn made an exact copy of it and guess how much...? RM20.. it's actually cause the Velcro is expensive, around RM10 d.. So here is it..!

The picture above is the pirated version.. ahahha...DIY version..

The picture above is the original flip it! Got it from their website..http://www.dembflashproducts.com/flipit/

My arsenal of lenses..

Haha..the word "arsenal" is just for fun. I don't even know whether I used it correctly here. Anyway, I only have three lenses la.. so dun be shocked!

Nikkor 18-200mm VR

This lens is the famed 11x zoom from Nikon. The most popular all in one lens for travellers cause it eliminates the need to change lenses in your trips. It could be hazardous to your camera if u change lenses in a humid or windy area.

Disadvantage-However popular it might be.. it suffers from some defects. One of it-Distortions.At the wide end, there'll be more than normal barrel distortions.. making ppl look fatter when u shoot them.. ahha.. just a lil fatter onli la..

Advantage-The Vibration Reduction(VR) technology. It'll balance out the vibrations when you take pictures if you have shaky hands. And the viewfinder would be clearer too.

This is a third party lens-Tamron. Meaning not originally from Nikon. But among all the lenses from Tamron, it's one of the sharpest around. It's really sharp! razor sharp!

Tamron SP 90mm Macro 1:1

This lens specializes in taking close up photos. You can take anything from flies to small insects. Still new to this lens. And it's quite difficult to handle. Its barrel would extend when u shoot something very small n close. It'll extend to twice its size.. ahha..

Advantage- Its price. The original Nikon one is twice the price of it but it's of course better and coupled with the VR technology, it's a great but unaffordable (to me) lens.

Disadvantage- Like i said, the barrel extends twice its size. And when focussing, it makes a lot of noise. I think the fly would fly away after hearing the "ZZZZZ" noise from the focussing.

This cute little lens is among the cheapest lens you can get. But don't underestimate its quality cause of its size. It takes very sharp photos too!

Nikkor 50mm 1.8D

This is a potrait lens. It takes good potrait. Even at low light due to its wide aperture (more light can enter n reach the sensor) as compared to other lenses. There are even wider aperture lenses, but way more expensive than this lens. N it'll create a very nice blur background when taking potraits due to the narrow field of vision by the wide aperture.

Advantage- It's possible to take pictures at low lights. It's cheap! It's a must to buy cause it's darn cheap for a lens.

Disadvantage- Loud focussing noise. Other than that, no other complains. =) Haha, there's this one lens.. which i always wanna get. Currently still out of reach and logically not very practical to buy. It's really really expensive and it's more of a put into the dry box kinda lens because it's large and heavy. Nikkor 80-200mm or 70-200mm. I dun think I'll see the two of you anytime soon...take care...

Jackie Chan Beijing Olympic 2008 Visa Ad!

Saw this Jackie Chan advertisement in the cinema.. very nicely done! aha.. kinda like it so i'm posting here, there's ping pong,hockey, football, gymnastics and etc.. enjoy!

My Bday presents!

Thanks dear! for the wonderful presents u gave me.. haha.. i like each n every of them.. especially the book (it'll self destruct after reading it-something like James Bond mission clips..Bomb!) and you've got me the same type of photo album I bought previously..=) i guess our taste are the same..! hehe.. thank you dear...!love you!

I'm putting my presents beside my bed.. hehe..

Merdeka!

As our Merdeka Day is arriving, somehow I don't have much feelings for it but maybe it does the older generations who had fought for our Independence and those who have suffered a great deal for it. Maybe one day I would understand how they felt and what these 3 words meant to them, "Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka! btw, the old Stadium Negara is being renovated back to its formal glory for this year's Merdeka Day..I'll be gone by then..

Mmm...I'm sure everybody knows how to sing "Negaraku" (Kenn standing up now to sing) if you don't know how, please refer to your primary teacher for more information.. haha..Anyway.. My school's board of prefects love to ask the probates to sing this song during interviews..

Have you ever thought that "Negaraku" could be sang in other ways? e.g rap, rock n etc.. here's a video which i think they maker of this video will definitely get caught once he returns to Malaysia if he ever does.. the "boss" of the country will assasinate him in KLIA.. listen to the lyrics carefully..don't play with fire man..



ai, he could have made his point using another song but it catches everybody's attention.. i hope it won't rage a war between races..

Make peace not war..

-Peace-

Cinta: Sebuah kisah tentang kasih

Yo!I know I'm abit outdated on local films(before this I haven't watched "Sepet") too but so happen i've managed to buy a DVD titled "Cinta: Sebuah kisah tentang kasih". I've always observed the movie's poster on the billboard near my house but didn't really took the initiative to search for it..

First of all, don't look down on this movie man.. it's damn good! to my friends out there reading this post.. u must watch this movie! Malaysia movies are I would say comparable to "gwai lo" films. I can assure you that after you watch "Cinta". The movie is like a 1 hour 45 minutes long and it feels like you're watchin a super long advertisement cause of its videography. The angles, perspective, zooms and even the colours seemed advertisement-like.. but nonetheless, it's cool!

Generally, it resembles "Love actually" in some way. But the love story in this movie is more "malaysian la". In it has 5 love stories and the characters in the movie are somehow linked to each other. Em, like a lady in one love story is working in the same company with another guy in another one love story. I think you know what I mean right? haha.. anyway, there are lots of places featured in the movie:- Cental Market, an old building at Jalan Panggong, mostly around KL la.. n The Twin Towers appeared like 60 percent of the time (I'm exaggerating abit la..) It's quite exciting for me to see places I know appearing in a movie and you'll definitely see KL in a different way after watching "Cinta". Even a back alley of a shop in KL looks good.. I wonder how they do that..

Among all the couples in the movie, I would say the veterans Fatimah Abu Bakar and Dato' Rahim Razali were the best couple in the movie. Superb acting skills from both of them. I guess nothing beats experience la..aha..the other 4 couples, I would say.. OKla.. pass lo.. but still good! hehe.. wont reveal the love stories la.. find out yourself!

and oh ya, support original cause it's not that expensive also.. A original DVD of "Cinta" is only RM19.90! don't support piracy! they produce lousy copies..

Conclusion: Superb videography and you would not see Malaysian films in the same old way anymore.. because of "Cinta" i went and bought Gubra and Sepet. I've watched Sepet just now.. sad ending though.. the actor's eyes really Sepet man...
