ONE-PIECE!

To tell you the truth, I'm a crazy dude who can get obsess over stuff and not getting my self out of it.

First of all definitely Movies, Programming (It's part of life! XD), Comics, and Manga. I get obsessed and then I'll keep watching or reading non stop until it's really overdose.

Over the last entire month, I've finished 2 very LOOooooooong Manga. 1st up is Naruto, and second and just is One-Piece (Both read until the most recent episode). And tell you a little secret, I cried over this One-Piece Manga, and WHY?

The story is so true to life and I cried when 'Going Merry' sail its last journey saving Luffy and his crews. Even though 'Going Merry' suffered from many damages and could not survive another journey, but it comes to life and set sail for the last journey to the doom of Marines and save its "NAKAMA". I wish for such friends, and I wanna cry again now... T.T

This is the last scene of 'Going Merry' before she rest in the deep blue sea, and all her NAKAMA is there to send her off with fire.

Anyway, wondering around the Google Image, I found this real life 'Going Merry', it's in Japan, Odaiba-Tokyo .
Quite cool right!

Fortunate and Unfortunate event(ssss)

Today, I mean yesterday, many events had took place. Good, bad, happy, sad, and many more feelings that I cant describe, had come rushing to me in this entire day!

My day started pretty much like this, let me bring you through it one by one. But as an introduction; I woke up at 6.45am to bring David(FES) to Bunga Raya Hill. We had quite some talk about CF, God, and even BGR. Don't ask me why. hahaha... After the walking up the hill and coming down, we went for "Dim Sum" and we both went home individually.

Fortunate and Unfortunate event [1]:
At 11.30am, I already in central on the bus getting ready to go KL to meet my buyer {Fortunate}, and suddenly I saw a call from Xin-xin saying they are in Malacca {Unfortunate}. ops.. But since its a one day trip, so i'm trying my best to come back as soon and meet them up [To be continue next post].

Fortunate and Unfortunate event [2]:
Once reached KL, I'm not quite sure where Am I but I saw an 'speechless' event happen. The bus stop at traffic light when it is red, and is still red, then I saw a polis bike pass through in front (nothing much), after the bike passed then one motorcyclist straight cross the street even when it is not our turn yet, it's dangerous and an IDIOT act. Very {Fortunate Unfortunate} half way he cross then another polis bike passed by and I pretty sure that he saw it but he acted nothing had happen, what a PIG.

Fortunate and Unfortunate event [3]:
The reason why I'm in KL, was because I found a new owner for my 50mm f/1.8G AF {fortunate for my lens}. I was rushing into it and din't realize that the lens doesn't suits me, so I decided to let it go and get another lens. And here I welcome my 35mm f/1.8G AF-S {Unfortunate for my wallet}.



And here are 2 sample I took at J-one and at Home, it's gorgeous!



I hate and in the same time I also like J-one, they had everything that I wanted. I asked if they have the diffuser for the built-in flash and the boss just say yes. ahhaha.


The color pad I tested and I think it works something like white balance, see the picture below then you'll know.I used the blue pad and it turns out so nice, balance out the yellow color outside but keeping the source yellow.

And this is how it looks like when was put on camera.


*sorry for the poor quality from my 2mp phone camera. XD

Fortunate and Unfortunate event [4]:
So after all these events, I quickly took the train and went back to pudu to get my bus. While waiting for my Malacca-KL bus, I saw one guy (can't remember name) who is from my school and same batch with me {Fortunate}, but I also saw him holding walkie talkie {Unfortunate}. He end up working as one of those ticket pursuer who standing there try to sell tickets. haiz...

[add-on] the Couple Wheel

[Couple shadows on Eye, Romantic isn't it?]

Despite of saying so much draw back for the "Eye on Malaysia", I actually thought that it is also a "Couple Wheel". I can imagine what people will do up there just the two of them... emm.. XD

The "goggles" of Malaysia

It was a night where I get stuck for the first time in front of Dataran Pahlawan and Mahkota Parade.

And I don't like it!

Nevertheless, I was at the seaside before I got stuck there, took some pictures of The "Eye on Malaysia". Many complaint said that there was nothing much to see up there, on the left is road, and on the right is sea and when night came it's all dark.

These are the two shot that I find it pleasant. But because the water is not still, it's quite blur at the shadow below.



I was thinking, since I already here, might as well make use of the 70m-200mm. I zoomed it up, and I find it quite friendly.


One of my shot was not in the right timing, I thought that the eye is stopped, but within the last few of the 20 second exposure time it moved. And it turn up looking like this.
looks like a "Tyre Rim" though.

And if you are wondering about the title, this is the reason why I named it 'The "goggles" of Malaysia'.
When you look at it side way, it really does looks like a pair of goggles. XD

I AM BACK! [plus STARBUCKS Summer Sneak Preview]

As I was preparing for a come back after some dying moments(busy and busyness) on my life, I thought of YOU!

Some friends of mine keep complaining about the silence in here. I guess this is it, my "Balik dari Kampung".

STARBUCKS - Summer Sneak Preview
It was a great pleasure to be invited, and though it was a last minute thingy, I really do enjoyed the nice COFFEE. Thanks to "anak boss" - Andrew.

*Yeah.. 50mm f/1.8G all the way.*

This is my trademark, lens cap plus something. And this is my lens cap plus the invitation card. *I always like to put my lens cap near some of my pictures.

This is the process of making the "Sulawesi Coffee Bean", our 1st cup of coffee. By pressing the top of the coffee pot, the coffee bean will be filter.

And this is it, a strong, full, and smooth "Sulawesi Coffee". For me, this cup is quite strong, because I'm still awake at this hour. From the name itself you already know that it is from Indonesia.

After the coffee, it is best serve with the "Apple Grain Muffin". And this is Renee, my part time model.

This is the new summer drink: "Dark Berry Mocha frappuccino". It's a MUST-TRY drink when you go for STARBUCKS, a very fine ice blended with chocolate chips, on top of that is the whip cream and the berry syrup. Actually, we were more interested in the mini straw that come with the cup during the presentation. XD

There is also a third cup, an ice coffee. Serves cold and much lighter than the first cup. But someone comment said that it's like a cup of water with coffee bitterness come after the chilling.

At the end of the REVIEW, we were served with the "Marble Cheese Coffee Cake". Seriously, I really do like the Cheese part, but the bottom crust doesn't really taste coffee. I actually started to think that we had too much strong coffee and initially the coffee taste for the crust has lost it.

Review from starbucksstore.com:
"Sulawesi Coffee Bean"
Origin: Asia Pacific.
Food Pairing: Blends well with rich, creamy cheese and sweet, buttery caramel. There is very little acidity in this coffee so try it with crisp apples and pears for contrast.
Origin Notes:Coffees from Asia are popular for their full body and mellow, earthy flavors. Coffees from the Pacific islands are typically lively with herbal undertones.

This is the reaction after drinking a few cups of the Coffee. One word "Hyper".

To end this, STARBUCKS pyramid for sales, please contact me or directly call STARBUCKS. I think you better call them directly, I have no stock in my house. XD
