Hey peeps, sorry for not updating these few days because I'm super super busy! Assignments, quizzes and tests. Argh! Anyway, this would not be a long post anyway.

Celebrated both Pooi Siang and Anna's birthday. Don't think I will be uploading the photos here right now because the line is a lil bit bad. Anyway, you can view the photos on my Facebook profile.

Anyway, I have two photo edits for this week. Just some simple editing, this one was done using the photos taken in Cola Club Cafe during Anna's birthday:

After Anna's, it was mine! Yeah! It was my 19th birthday on the 27th of November. Well, thanks for all the birthday wishes aite? And of course, the birthday celebration. Thanks once again.

Drove down to Penang yesterday to attend Camera Planet 2009 in Gurney Plaza. Well, it was a little bit disappointing. The fair was much smaller than what I've expected and aren't the prices supposed to be cheaper during the fair? Well, I'm not sure about the camera bodies they are selling but they're selling Canon Speedlite 430 EXII for RM2,200! I was really confused as the price stated on the Internet is RM1,700 only.

Basically, my intention was to get myself a flashgun if I could afford it but RM2,200 is a no no. Oh well, headed to the 3rd floor and checked. This shop is selling the 580 EXII for only RM2,060. Now I am really really confused!

Did not get a flashgun in the end but besides the Canon Speedlite, I was actually saving for another lens. I guess it is the cheapest, smallest and light-weight 50mm portrait lens. The lens was sold out during the fair so I managed to get the EF 50mm/1.8 for a much lower price together with a few camera accessories.

Here you go, the Canon EF 50mm/1.8 II lens:

Till the next post, take care and God bless!

Went to the hotel at 2pm for the tea ceremony and at 7pm for the dinner. There was this guy with his "super cekap" Canon EOS DSLR fully equipped with external flash, lens and stuffs. Awesome! I hesitated to take out my 500d but still, I manage to get a few shots. Basically, the white balance is not good in my opinion. Still got lots to learn, the lighting was a little bit harsh to me when I used the built-in flash, so I did not really make use of it.

Anyway, some shots taken during my cousin's wedding. C&C are welcome :)

More photos are available on my Facebook profile. Till the next post, take care and God Bless!

What I would like to share today is more like a testimony and for those who does not know what "testimony" is, this is what I got from wikipedia:

So what I want to share is that I had my exams yesterday and you might be asking "So what?". The main point is, I managed to get through the exams because He was with me. No doubt about that! I would have did mistakes that I used to do before. I know I might not get an "A" or a very good result but at least I do know that I would have done much worse! What I learnt? "Life is fragile, handle with prayer" - this is absolutely true.

Prayer is really IMPORTANT! I might not understand how powerful or important prayer can be but everything changed yesterday. Just one day and it proved how true God can be! I prayed for my revision and exams, everything turned out fine. What more?

To simplify the whole story, my house mates and I planned to go to this "pasar malam" at Sri Rampai and there were 7 of us so I had to drive two rounds before I could possibly get the whole group to Sri Rampai. I went for badminton before that and I did not get enough rest I suppose, sorry if my driving skills were bad last night. So it was the second round and out of a sudden, i realized I have not prayed before starting our journey. The radio was turned up loud so I lowered down the volume before started praying.

There was this car right behind me and it was at the "blind-spot" if you get what I mean. I did not even realized it was there. When I looked at the rear and side mirrors, it seemed like there weren't any cars behind and all of a sudden this car flew pass me. It was like one foot away from hitting our car and guess what? The driver did not even bother to honk. And all these happened just approximately 10 seconds after my prayer. Praise God!

What happened next was all of us had to fit into the car. Yeah, all seven of us! Yeah, I kind of broke the law right? Alright, I broke the law. There can only be 5 people in a car. So we were on our way back to PV10 and to PV6. What happened next was we were stuck in traffic and as usual we would think "Why la? Accident again?". Guess what, it was a road block! *speechless* What I could think of back then was "Gone, this time sure kena" so I got my license and IC ready.

The poor Viva was overloaded with 7 people and what makes you think I won't kena? Drove up to the policemen. Yeah "policeMEN", which means there were more than one policeman. They checked the car, the road tax and more. They even hesitated to let us go but thank God! Somehow or rather, their eyes were like blinded as they did not realize the car was overloaded with 7 people!

Okay, I might have sounded like God helped us in crime but that day's situation was kinda complicated. I could not make two trips again because it was late and stuffs. But at least we knew we were wrong and I'm sure we won't be having 7 people in a car ever again, hopefully.

Then I started thinking and counting my "kesalahan":

1. Car overloaded with 7 people

2. I was driving a car without the "P" sticker

3. The 5 people at the back seat do not have the seat belts buckled up

Praise God! On my way back I actually realized He was with us all the while. In fact, He is always with us! I started thinking "What if He was not with us?", there were many "what if's" in my head and God actually told me something. I knew that we DO NOT have to worry about the "what if's" if we have FAITH that He is ALWAYS with us! Why would I have to worry about anything if I know that God is always with me, guiding and protecting me?

It was only one day. Only ONE DAY to prove how TRUE God is!

Till the next update, take care and God Bless!

Here are the photos taken after the movie. Sorry if a few of the photos look a little bit blur

Couldn't get the remaining photos uploaded due to the bad internet connection here. Do visit my Facebook profile for more photos yeah? And can someone tell Seng Hoe to use one of these photos as his profile photo? It's nice, agree? Haha.

Went back to Ipoh last week and normally I would just SLEEP in Ipoh. But on Saturday morning, I woke up earlier than usual and accompanied mom to get some car vinyls from this Christian shop in Ipoh Garden East. Coincidently, mom asked if I could drive her to the post office in TESCO to get the bills paid. Fine, since it was kinda near from where I was. Drove to TESCO and coincidently I followed my mom down the car. Usually I would just sit in the car and wait but this time things seemed to be a little bit different. Went down, paid the bills and get myself two boxes of Lipton Milk Tea *currently my favourite!*.

Settled everything and planned to drive back but coincidently, I saw this camera shop located at the ground floor *happy*. So, I just walked in and asked whether they have the Canon EOS 450d and what's the price for it. Coincidently, tak da stok!

Salesguy : 450d sold off lah!

Me : Huh? Really meh? When got stock?

Salesguy : Not so sure wor

Me : Then can I have a look at this Sony Alpha 330

Salesguy: Aiya boss, instead of getting 450d, why don't you spend RM100 extra to get the 500d?

OMG! Coincidently that shop was having promotion for three days and that day was the second day. The Canon EOS 500d was cheaper by RM500.00! Awesome! 500d was never in my review list but I just tried that camera out since they provide free testing.

In conclusion, got myself the Canon EOS 500d with some financial support from dad. Thanks dad! My new "love", the Canon EOS 500d!

Tried the camera out these few days and it was truly truly awesome! No complaints at all. Brought the camera to Xin's birthday celebration the next day:

And I'm still getting used to Photoshop CS4. Few photo edits here and do view my Facebook profile for more photos aite?

I managed to get a few photos from Anna's Facebook profile. Photos taken at De' Mamak Corner using her Nokia N95:

Happy Birthday Bong!
