Came across a good article at DPS today entitled "Why we photograph"

Photography should make you happy. Never let someone impede on your personal happiness. You love HDRs and someone else doesn’t – who cares? You are enamored with landscapes but your friends think they’re droll – don’t let it bother you. You’re a fashion nut but no one gets your style – just keep being you. Enjoy your photography for what it is – your own. Know that not everyone will appreciate it, but if it personally fulfills you, that’s all that truly matters. Be true to yourself and you’ll never regret a day of your life.

Jalan-jalan cari makan minggu ini membawa kami ke Nilai, first time aku masuk bandar nilai actually. Assim recommend try nasi kandar lawood yang sangat meningkat kesedapannya, aku pun google-google. Memang ramai orang suka.

Bole tengok peta lokasi dia kat Foursquare.

Sampai-sampai depan kedai dah nampak penuh dengan kereta and satu line agak moderately panjang beratur. Try ayam goreng ngan kuah campur dia, memang seperti mana yang Assim khabarkan, meningkat. Depan Assim ade sorang brader India, so kalau Indian pun datang makan nasi kandar kat kedai melayu, ok la kot.

On a side note tadi lepas belek-belek gambar rasa macam tamron 17-50 vc ni softer je dari 17-50 2.8 asal. Google tengok ada orang face the same issue tak, ade gak rupenye. Ade sorang tu suggest tweak diopter, aku try tadi and buat focus test guna Shashinki's free focus test card. Rasanya macam sama je..







PC Upgrade

I haven't upgraded my pc for 3 years and 4 months now. Breaking the 3-year cycle which I usually follow but I think my wait was somewhat worthit. Intel announced 24 new processors on their new Sandy Bridge architechure which is supposed to be faster, with GPU built-in (didnt they already have that in the last one?) or something. But theres a buzz with the new chips and reviews have been positive.

Looking at the benchmark for i5 2500K, it was quite impressive. Can hit 4.2ghz on stock cooler? Dum dum dum.

PC are now quite cheap compared to a few years ago. I can get a decent setup for around 1800 or 1500 excluding chassis.

My new setup will be:

Intel i5 2500K - rm698
GIGABYTE GA-P67A-UD3 - rm470
2x2gb - rm140
Some PSU - rm150
Cooler Master CM 690 Advanced II White - rm300
HDD 640GB - rm110


Rm1868 or rm1568 if I decide not to take a new chassis. I haven't changed chassis for over 7 years. :(



Some lowlife decided to steal the telephone cable in my area for the 4th time in less than 12 months. No weekend gaming for me :( Lucky I can still teether from my phone for internet.

Ashraf, who is now technically husband to my brother's sister in-law (fuh) came all the way from Kedah for....wait for it.... nasi kukus (steamed rice). His wife was craving it due to her 2nd pregnancy. But I think he just came for the iPad he was getting from Pan :P

So merheedddd, best ipad baru?




He posted a reply today on youtube and the first answer was "Pirates or Ninja, who would win". Oh my...
