Sony Alpha A580

December 13^th, Monday…

Hehe… It’s a day that I’m freaking excited. Guess what? My lovely daddy ^^ promised me that he will purchase another DSLR for me after the first two A550 got stolen like, ermm… two or three months ago? I can’t remember well, dang it… (The second one not even one month, with all my beloved pictures inside >.<)

Well, even I myself thought that I wouldn’t own another one so soon after this kinda cases happened, my parents said they were not gonna buy anything at this moment ‘cause our area was a lil’ too rural, (thanks God the left side neighbors, got 2 or 3 houses, just finished renovated and shifted in) but I bet my dad pity me as well which I spent all the savings to purchase 2 beloved A550 yet both also got stolen. He knows how kesian for me to go without the camera, as whenever he sees some nice scenes he will just ask me to shoot them down but I’ma telling him I got no camera, and he only saw me holding my phone shooting all the time.

So in the coming Christmas, I tryna urge him, (hehe… paiseh, I seldom my dad to purchasing something, some more so pricey) can I have the camera earlier? Since the promise is in New Year, but I don’t wanna miss those nice scenes of Christmas. Yeah… he agreed, and found a cheaper set in further summit for me, I’m so touched… I can see how much my dad sayang me. T.T I was so impatient for the moment to come, hehe… Just that my mom bising a bit asking why the hell the price so different from the one I told her, ‘cause I was making up my mind between the two models, A55 and A580. She was confused with the prices between only body and with kit lens.

I understand lar mommy, it’s sure is expensive… and I also don’t know what to say, ‘cause I really feel like owning it again. >.<

Guess which model I have chosen?? ^^

The canon plastic saving bag that they give. Ishh, why Canon? Some more it’s not big enough. Hehe, no lar, actually it’s because of the gifts they free for me when purchasing the camera. Wanna know? Read it up… J

**Tadah**!!! This was the model that I’ve chosen. Sony Alpha A580 :D

With kit lens. I’ve got no time to search the lens myself anymore, it really takes time. Furthermore, buying online sure is the second hand unit. Why going for that when the brand new set was almost the same price? Not worth it… Arghhhhhh!!!! I love my camera >.<

That’s the free gift they gave. A bag for holding my DSLR and a flash or lens. It’s a lot better than the one I got when purchasing the second A550, which can hold nothing except the body only. It’s good, so I don’t need to spend money in looking for another bag anymore, just that I dislike the logo in front of the bag, tagging “NIKON”!!! Ishhh… I’m using “SONY”!!! okay?

A brief description on the specs and accessories at the back of the box set. Aww… black color makes it looks so “sexsey”. Hahahaha…

Alright, here comes another free gift from them. I meant another great one…Haha, read it, it’s an 8GB Memory Stick Pro – HG Duo directly by Sony. Hi-speed synchronizing at 30 MB/s, and good compatibility. No wonder the pictures load so bloody fast in my lappie. Hehe, happy happy…

A review of unboxing all the things inside.

The CD for computer, manual guides in different languages, warranty card for online registration, and a nicely designed script about accessories, sample pictures, lenses, and specifications. (Love the script, it’s with whole lotsa nice pictures inside) ^^

They (kit lens and main body) were still wrapping in plastic bags with bubbles. Upper right hand part was cables, charger’s wire, and charger.

Here they are, black charger, grey cable, charger’s wire, switch adapter, and a viewfinder cap. Hehe, I can keep all these in the box ‘cause the previous charger and cable are still with me. ^^

Yeah!!! The main “characters” finally shows their true features. Lol… Sony Alpha A580 and the kit lens with a range of 3.5 – 5.6 / 18-55mm SAM. A new series of kit lens for Sony branded DSLR…

The back part of the camera, basically the same as A550, 3 inch Xtra fine Bravia LCD with 921K pixels, same length and weight, except there is a movie recording button in red, two buzzer for movie replaying on the top part. Megapixels are slightly higher in resolution but it’s not showing on the body this time anymore.

The neckstrap, with a BIG Sony word printed on it. Just love it la, Sony ~ Make.Believe, is always the best.

Here’s a link for the specifications, in case if you wanna know more about it. ^^

Even though I’ma happy with it, still I feel kinda sakit hati when my mom counting the stack of RM50 piece by piece to the seller. Mom said don’t wanna pay credit card ‘cause most of them would charge 5% extra, and it’s freaking damn a lot for something so pricey, so yea…

Was planning to add an external flash, (will make a review about it) but I don’t dare to mention when I was still in that shop, ‘cause I don’t wanna spend their money anymore, I will buy it myself.

That’s all for the night ^^

Have fun reviewing ya

The Season of the Witch is Here

Okay, when comes to the word “witches”, what’s the first thing that comes to your mind? Perhaps an old lady with a wizard pointy hat? Long nose bridge? Or a shadow of an old lady riding a broom dashing across the night sky with a tremorous laughter? Well, this might be the common senses of the people based on some basic imaginations and influences of movies.

However, sometimes witches might have characteristics that are exactly contrast from what we usually used to think of. Just try making sense, witches are females who manage to practice satanic beliefs, doing all jobs with the help of devil’s power, and offer sacrificing just to cause something happen, and of course they absolutely don’t need to be an old lady with long nose bridge and a sharp scary laughter to do all this.

So what could they be? Yes, when in contrast to these factors, pretty girls that seem nothing special compare to others might most probably fit this. And if they do, it would be the scariest thing in the world and around us…

Why said so? I guess most of us has some knowledge about witches don’t we? Witches used to practice all kinds of evil stuffs and acts, considered dangerous? YES!!! But they are madly pretty like normal girls and you got one of them as your girlfriend or wife, yet you do not know anything about her real feature, what’s worse will happen next?

To me, these are the scariest things that witches would make me think of, for example, using dark magic to control people as their slaves and do whatever they commanded. More like puppets if thing goes worse in which the people who got controlled lost the senses of survival and feelings. Just like plants…

Being controlled like a puppet is just like somebody controlling our life...

Or, she might be secretly experimenting some magic chemical stuffs, poisons or medicines, in which she has to use human’s fresh blood as mixtures. Boyfriends or husbands who don’t know about it, may got their blood pumped up when they are asleep. Thus, die ‘cause of the lack of blood. While who knows witches may randomly practicing immortality, but is necessary by taking in fresh blood to maintain the practices. Victims increases…

Sucking off blood from others was one of the practices witches did in ancient times...

They need blood to satisfy their own desire or practices of immortality

Guys being bondage as a genuine pig to try out newly experimented poisons, medicines, or newly learned magical powers. Perhaps some of them might be tortured to death, well, what else can be more cruel than this?

Men victims being bondage, they might be the genuine pig for "new products" invented by the witches yet there's no chance of escaping...

The bondage room? No no, for those witches, it's a "lab" and also a cage for their genuine pigs...

Whenever they feel like, they can just make use the ability of fortune telling and fore-vision to predict someone’s future, while for the purpose of evil acts, using their magical power to change one’s fate without letting the victim knows. This is possible mostly when they are taking revenge on someone…

Hand her your profile, and she may tells you your future. But what if she secretly changes it for you??

Are you feeling uneasy or startling now? Not so fast, there are even more unpredictable acts which we can’t actually figure out from witches. They are simply beyond how scary we can think. Therefore, for once, witches were considered sinful and against the will of God in the Western Europe in mid 17^th century, and thus they were being interrogated with torture and eventually burned at the stake.

Being interrogated with tortures...

And eventually burned at the stake

However, the season of the witches hasn't pass because of this. And this time, we are lucky enough to gain an opportunity to catch a review of a movie with similar topic by the coolest ever artist, Nicolas Cage...

Telling us how witches used to be active in the old times gone.

Let’s just prepare for the action styles.

Movie Screening: The Chronicles of Narnia ^^

December 1st, Wednesday...

Okay, hehe... it's time to jot down what's going on exactly 2 weeks ago. Look at my title up there... Yes, a movie screening sponsored by Nuffnang, Innit, Twitter and ChurpChurp. Lol, if you readers remember, might notice I have an entry blogging about a topic called "My Magical Journey". Absolutely, haha... I participated in the movie screening contest of Narnia's third episode, The Chronicles Of Narnia. It took me like more than three days to get that single entry done. Well was a harsh one, including some photo shootings at myself, editing without the help of photoshop, and cracking my head to compose the story line with whatever pictures that I found online. NO extended assists but all by myself.


Yeah ^^... and guess what I actually gained the opportunity to attend the movie screening at Midvalley TGV by receiving an email from Nuffnang, stating that I was one of the lucky ones. Haha... and not soon until three days before the screening, Nuffnang sent me another email and said my entry literally entered the Top 20, thus my invitation upgraded from normal to 3D invitation. OMG, my mood was at the peak in the moment. LOL, showing it's not a waste at what I was doing previously. (Showing my mom too, blogging isn't a waste of time^^)


2 tickets, I gotta go with someone, hehe... Thxz Eli Chen for temaning me. From Twitter, I got to know Carmen won 2 tickets too (forgot from where). At first we planned to have dinner together, Joey told me Federal highway was with stupid heavy traffic congestion but we I still got stuck there. Ishh, it's too late to eat together anymore, Joey and Carmen were hungry for the whole day, so they ate first. While I was afraid that I can't make it at 8ish sharp, haha, called Carmen and asked her to get me the ticket in case I really late. Luckily still in time eventually...


Not much time left after meeting them up, 3D invitation has to collect our tickets in a different timing, we went of separately... Here we go ^^

Eli Chen and Me at TGV... We just got our tickets ^^ yay!! It feels really cool and great for watching a nice movie before everybody else did. It's even earlier than the first screening within malaysia... I feel so lucky :)

The lady that hands us the tickets... Haha, I was lotsa Twitter and Nuffnang badges. It's free for us bloggers to take according to how many tickets we have. Nice :)


Our tickets, and badges that I took, "Shy on Twitter" and "Cool on Twitter". Haha, but I got another one more.. cooler.


"I LOVE Nuffnang!!!" hahaha... that's nice and really cool. Oh yea, saw a small picture right on my left hand side? It's actually a picture taken on both of us and directly printed out from the camera that the guy took for us, it's totally gratis... ^^ Hmm, it's not with me now, I bet Eli kept it. Haha, it's ok... ^^


The cinema was packed with crowds, mostly bloggers, I'm really glad that I can be one of them to participate in this kinda contest. It's my very first time anyway.. Hehe, no silent scene took part 'cause of these two Hitz FM Dee-jay, Ian and Mootz, which did their job in handling the whole intro part.


Haha... jokings and funny stuffs occurred 'cause they were playing games and asking questions. Oh oh, dressing up in their costumes and taking pictures with the bloggers and crowds was what they did. Laughter all around, lol... Love them. I love Hitz FM... ;)


We were enjoying until we forgot about dinner. Haha, well, we headed on to the nearby food court for dinning. Love the food stalls there, food wasn't too expensive, like simply a chicken chop rice (real big bowl) cost only around 10 bucks. That's what I ordered, and Eli went to some Japanese cuisine.


Hrmm, the movie was great, I meant the story line. As expected, blood circulation and heart pumping were all done during the movie, hahahaha... Just love it. As though with 3D, it's not as outstanding as I thought, and furthermore the glasses were kinda heavy. I don't feel really good with it on the bridge of my nose. Even a bit dizzy when I take it off... Not a good experience though. Ishh... it's my first time getting such good tickets for free, I owned it myself, thought of sharing, I so wanted to watch it with her :( Sigh, nevermind... will keep my effords up with this and there is always a next time. ^^

IOI Boulevard again at night :)

November 6th, Saturday...

Not until the coming Deepavali, that girl thought she's not gonna make anymore vacation back to her heart again. Just after she got to know her class off, she quickly went and bought a ticket flying back here in a sudden. Lol... Can see how bad she misses here after the long break.


As usual, I gotta work on Saturday. While at night, of course not gonna waste her time back here, we planned for a night outing. Frankly, I kinda miss IOI Boulevard, not the building, but the Pacific Cafe Company there. Just all the while thought of having coffee there again 'cause of the OMG environment.


I didn't have dinner duel to the lack of time. I have to bath after the whole day of bloody wushu classes. Thought of going to pasar malam to have my dinner and hang around together, mana tau the firmament start raining like the hell was going against my will. Ishh, got no choice but to just head on straight to IOI Boulevard.


Kissaten, was her choice 'cause she says it's nice inside. The restaurant is basically Japanese, serves sushi too. Seriously, decoration was the only thing attracted us...


Nice restaurant of course pictures a lot, just that this restaurant looks somehow kinda weird. It's been divided into two parts by the wooden rack in the middle. But both were the same owner though, from outside, the right hand part was nicer... love that only :)


But from inside, we were sitting at the left hand part. Nicer from inside though... Hehe, guess what? Good environment really stirred up appetites... I must agree :D



The Kissaten menu... Ohh, I was the only one eating, as she already had her sweet dinner at home. Was having difficulties deciding what to order, biasa~



Tadah!! And this was my meal. Hrmm, let me try to remember the name.. :S Aiks, I can't... Well, something called Curry Pork Chop rice gua.. Erm, when comes to chop, I prefer chicken better. Thus, I was a bit regretted for not asking properly whether it's chicken or pork. Not too nice though... But she said it's nice. :S I don't know.



A closed up of my rice, don't get faked by the appearance, it was just her nice shooting skills. I'm serious...


Our drink... It's too full after finishing the chop rice. I wasn't gonna order my own drink, so just share. Will let that girl to decide which to order since she's drinking. And this, was the concoction of Cucumber and Lychee. Looks thick...


It's a blend of cucumber and lychee but tasted more like cucumber... bet it's just too strong and covered lychee taste. Haha, the leafs you saw were mint, that girl really plucked some and chewed in her mouth, which she claimed she never seen this before. LOL... Ended up freezes her throat and nostril. Hahaha...


The decoration in the restaurant, were all nicely placed on the wooden rack. From far they seemed like some cans powder products. I thought were some powder for protein drinks...


Take a closer look... They were actually a kinda beer called Paulaner Hefe-WeiBbier Naturtrub. Weird name though :S from Germany. I'm not a expert or fan of beer, so don't know what the heck they are... Don't wish to give a try also, 'cause someone's underage... XD


Yesh... before our night turns old, of course not gonna waste it. After dinner, it's dessert's time. Hehe... Dessert house in IOI Boulevard isn't cacat at all. Look at this...


Fake book cabinet which was originally a door of the store. But it makes the the whole place looks classy somehow...


And remember the name here if ever you have a chance to pay here a visit. It's called MY HONEYMOON. Seriously, once you flip on this menu, whole lotsa dessert varieties waiting for you. Price wasn't expensive by the way...


Again... I let her to make the choice in ordering, it's all up to her, trust her decision la, hehe... Yea, she ordered something cold and special, and this is it, Tau Fu Fa with kiwi fruits. A small cup of sugar fluid for us to adjust the sweetness.. It's nice. :)


Some self-snaps... Was she holding my phone?? How come I don't know de??


Ohh... Anne brought her netbook along also. Told her to keep in my car, but she forgot. Well, if put inside the car then now this pictures can't online also ady... hehe... Was talking about Nuffnang earnings... haha :)


Finishing up with the Tau Fu Fa, luckily didn't order mine. It's really a bit jelak.. manage to habiskan.



But still, the dessert was not enough, we even thought of going to Pacific Coffee Company some more... Anne said she want the cake there, but too sad, we forgot it's weekend. Their cake sold out damn bloody fast, should have went there earlier instead of the dessert in Honeymoon. That Cafe was packed with crowds... aiks... next time must go early if it's weekend ya.



Fetched her home around 11ish...
it was an excellent night.

Miss it.. :)

Magic Color @.@

December 9th, Thursday...

Again... a delayed-entry that was like supposed to be up about a month ago. Well, haha... it doesn't matter anyway, 'cause it's just something to be reviewed. Furthermore, I can't get to write something about it before I tried.

You might be wondering why the hell this guy has so many things to review? Haha, okay, know me... I'll just take note in whatever things around me, snap, and jot them all down here. It's so true when I heard of the phrase, "it's the job of a blogger"... LOL, so I'ma became a snapaholic too. Loads of pictures stuck in either my phone or D-SLR (getting one back soon ;) ). Hehe, all pending, just that some bad habits often drive me from blogging them on time. Paiseh :P


Ohh ya, so what is the "something" that I was mentioning? Hmm, okay lar, I'ma try to be brief and concise. Aiya, might as well just let the pictures speak... No more tricks and turns, I show you, come come ^^




**Tadah**... The "something" is my newly bought contact lenses la. Magic Color branded... I'ma the first time trying out this.. ^^ (excited)



Yes, have a look... It's light blue in color. Hmm.. if you take a look closer, you might notice it contains a lil bit of violet also. And ohh, it's with powers... :)



That how the whole packing looks like directly from pasar malam. Oh oh... Yea, it's from pasar malam, bought it during our outings to SS2 pasar malam. Miss it... :(


Right eye putting on... Thought of buying those kind which can enlarge my iris. But the color I wanted was out of stock. (Sorry my eyes were a lil bit bengkak in the morning, hehe... not nice)




Left eye putting on. Surprisingly, she told me this type can enlarge the iris a lil too, and yea.. my iris did look bigger compare to those lenses I tried previously. Thanks to the extra dark liner at the edge of this lens. Love it :)




In fact, it's not too obvious just like the green one I used previously. So you might not be able to notice if you are not making direct eye contact or look into my eyeballs purposely. But still, some of my friends noticed, and I realized these less-obvious color lenses would me make look more natural on its appearance, since it's not too obvious and thus color is more natural. ^^ (Few of my friends told me that.)



Thanks to Anne, I got to know pasar malam actually selling this color lenses with powers at an extremely affordable price, that's why I kept bugging I wanna buy my lens there again. It's one year duration, but of course won't be able to last that long, I feel scare too, our eyes are dirty okay?


Yea, and now, I'ma not gonna waste the lenses, will just put it on wherever I go as long as it's an outing. Even in the class, which I don't used to put them on 'cause my eyes are thinner than a hair line in the morning; having difficulties to put on. And I often sleep in my class... so... hehe... Well, never mind la, gonna leave that place in a few more days..

Wanna know the price, hehe.. but I'ma not gonna tell. :P Find it out yourself...

A Haircut; A Change :)

December 1st, Wednesday...

Alright guys and girls, first thing first in December, a nice and new month, a smooth and new start. ^^ Should have known that X'mas is around the corner, will have lotsa wonderful and awesome outings I bet. But for us, is it gonna be short? Ishh... I hope it's not, no... I won't let it be!! Sound so unpleasant to mention about my intake started soon in January, seriously don't wanna think about it. It's not gonna shorten any of my celebrations for X'mas; like I gonna give a damn huh? I'll still go for outings. :) Just can't wait to see her appearance... lol.


Okay, finished the out-topic introduction, here comes a change on myself. Hehe, it's a haircut lar. If not mistaken, I haven't been to any for like 2 months? Err.. plus? Lol, it's just too long which makes me feel so uncomfortable, so I decided to go for a haircut. Tried out a different barber shop in Giant, cost me RM13, which was a lil more expensive then my primary schoolmate's mom's service, but very fast and so far I'm satisfy with the hair style. Light and easy... Yeah~.


For sure, every time before and after cutting, I'll make a comparison of my looks because often I'd receive different comments, mostly the negative one... Negative? What I mean is, my look in shorter hair style is more favorable by others. Sad, I love my long hair look too. >.<


I have blogged about this before like months ago, the last time I cut it... Still, you be the judge again.

Before (ishh, I hate pimples!!)

After...



Not much differences from pictures? Lol, maybe... but in reality, yea... I actually look a lot different with short hair. Different by how? Again...


Anonymous 1: Eih Kyuo, shortened your hair ady?(DUHH~~ Obviously!!) Oh, you look better with short hair. (ishhh)


Anonymous 2: Ohh... Kyuo you finally cut your hair... (So..??) Better, looks younger... (ARGGG, I'm gonna strangle you!!!)




That's why since the last time people said this, I decided to keep my hair short from time to time, that's like putting stress on my wallet, even though it's not too hurting. I love my hair lar but why I look worse with longer hair? :( Is it really that bad?


Never mind lar, keeping it short then settled. I don't wanna look bad, since so many people were saying it did. What do you think? I need comments...
