Blessed Virgin Mary-HD Video

Holy Mary Mother of God

An appearance of an image of the Blessed Virgin Mary on the window of the Sime Darby Medical Centre (Subang Jaya Medical Centre- SJMC) have many Catholics visiting and witnessing this event. It was reported that the seventh floor housed the Cancer Ward in this hospital.
This HD video shows the location and the image. A 12-second time lapse video (shot with the Panasonic HDC TM300) was made to try to see any changes on the image for the last 90 minutes and the High Bit Rate video was shot using the Panasonic Lumix GH2.

5 Bilis & 9 Nuts!

Niah Mudder!

Just what da fcuk the boss of this joint take us for? Why is everyone taking this shit sitting down?
No balls to complain? Is our Gormen still sleeping?

Lately, the Klang famous Shanmuga 'TT' stall (lepak-ala-teh-tarik) in Taman Bekerley did that. They physically shrink the content of their nasi lemak.  Instead of the usual portion of kacang (peanuts) and fried ikan billis (anchovies) they cut down to 5 miserable pieces  and 9 pieces of nuts! This is down right cheating.
I am going to boycott this eatery and encourages all my friends to do so.

Let us see this boycott works, if not, we can safely say that the majority of us have no balls!
We may even tell them that it is all right to screw us and can even go further.
Shame on you Shanmuga,
Please remember that we PAY  for our meals and not given free meals like in lokap/prison.
By the way, please smile while you serve.
We are not all that hard-up, bloody idiots!

Early Birds

Raptors

The Malaysian Raptor Watch would be held on the 10th. March, 2012 in Tanjung Tuan, Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan.

This morning, cruising around Kuala Selangor from Klang, I made many video shots and noticed 'extras' especially the bigger and heavier ones. Of course, the usual Brahminy Kites, Crested Serpent Eagles, a resident White-bellied Sea-Eagle and the Black-shouldered Kite are still there but these new comers are quite difficult to be identified.

Anyway, here is the video.

Kindly give your comments and id if possible.

Thanks.

MOOOOoooooooooo!

It Is A MOOOoooooving Time!

Especially it is 11.11.11 today.

After Sex, it is all about homosexuality.

Now, it is about cattle feeding.

It is about Cows.

Then, it is about some folks looking for cows in a condominium,

an explaination

Tough luck KJ, you have just fell into a deep hole. Now let us see how you gonna crawl out

of this one.

Again, it is back to cows.

A challenge.

Selangor Government takes up challenge. Bravo! A wise decision.

After all, let us see whose cow have been jumping over the Moon!

How will it end?

Just wait till the cows come home!

Eat & Shake!

Chinese Pond Heron
Was driving home one afternoon and spotted a migrant in full breeding plumage.

Grabbed my Panasonic Lumix GH2, changed its lens to the 200mm TeleZoom, selected ETC 'on' and shot the bird. Thanks to James and Bitty of Photo Malaysia who id-ed this heron double quick as the usual color and pattern are not the same normally. Even the bill is in two colors!

Was in time for its quick meal and a 'shake' afterwards.

Enjoy the video here.

Is This Legal?

Satellite Dish It is sprouting all over Klang. Many homes are now fitting (legal?) satellite dishes which I was told, can receive 300plus World TV channels FREE of subsciption charges! One just got to buy a complete set which includes a 'so called decoder', a ten-foot dish including cables for about RM1,600.00. That is all. No other charges & free of monthly fees. I was also told that we do not pay any licensing fees as we would have to bear the loss should we be caught by the authorities!

Caught by the authorities? Which authority? Police? MPK? Is that fair to all ASSthrow customers who are paying at least RM1,600.00 per year for a standard package or RM3,600.00 per year with super-dupersports/movies/repeats/........etc.

Is that true? Maybe I go join my neighbour to fit one set. The same dish adjusted even higher, yesterday. What's the difference when satellites are located miles above our earth and do an extra 10 feet count?

The authorities cannot even spot a TEN FOOT dish located on top the roof of the house so FULLY EXPOSED! Maybe my neighbour is from East Malaysia (noticed his pick-up truck's registration number plate) and it is OK to use it there, but then, this is West Malaysia. Are there TWO sets of Law in this Country? It also look like it is getting Lawless! Up yours Authorities! Fook the LAW!

Fire

Factory Burns
Usually a sleepy part of Klang, Jalan Istimewa is located along our housing area.

At 11am this morning, this landmark factory got ablazed. The damages may run into the thousands. I caught it on 'tape' in 1080p HD Video here.

Done

Thanks Panasonic!

In one hour, the folks at the Customer Care Centre of Panasonic solved my problem.
It was confirmed that the Electronic Viewfinder was faulty. I must say that it may be the first ever known in a GH2 and perhaps in the entire G series.
The risk I had taken is understandable because being the first very few in this country to own one and buying it even that it is not officially launched here in Malaysia.

The viewfinder was replaced with a new one.

I am happier now.

Spotted!

Burmese Shrike

My wifey spotted an uncommon Shrike a few days ago.
This was at our back yard garden here in Klang.

I thought it was a migratory Brown Shrike or the Tiger Shrike which drops by from East Asia and getting away from the coming winter months. Upon examining the picture taken, we realised it to be the Burmese Shrike which on record, do not usually hang around that far south!


The distinguished 'rattling' call and the long tail are her trademark.

A Beauty.

Wetlands

Birds of the Wetlands

Birded two days ago at the Dengkil wetlands and checked about a dozen birds off our list.

Posted a new HD clip yesterday. View it Here.


My Birding Buddy here happily holding his new Swarovski SwaroVision EL. He saw the unseen!
Hot! man Hot! A Purple Swamphen striking a pose!
A very shy Dollarbird. How I wish I can just move that branch before he got away!

New SwaroVision 10x42 EL

Finally, It's in our Hands!

So happy that we have finally owned two of this new bins! The 10x42 EL. It is now in our home here in Klang, Malaysia.
The new model features the latest SwaroVision Technology which includes SwaroClean & the SwaroBright plus the Swarotop/Swarodure.
Now we know what "Crystal Clear" meant! It is truly second to none.
Swarovski perfected the "Flat Field" principle which was a challenging feat amongst precision optic manufacturers and none other have perfected it so far.

It also came with a snap shot adaptor.
Due to it's almost perfect technology, none others can come near to making such pure and precise Optical Instrument which is not just a binocular! Only Nature Is Perfect. This is also understandable as it come from the pioneer in working with pure Crystals!

For more information please visit SWAROVSKIOPTIK homepage here.

SEE THE UNSEEN!

You Tube

Finally in Full HD

Was working hard in trying to upload full HD video clips to You Tube since obtaining a Camcorder with AVCHD .m2ts files.
Produced 50 over clips but none got through in full 1080 HD format. Uploaded two clips yesterday and it was sucessful!
The Air Asia's plane landing at KLIA, I believe, is the first ever done on Full HD Video and it is the first time appearing on You Tube.

The other one was a 'golden' Gulf Air . To enjoy the clip, please select 'watch in HD' and let the streaming process complete first.
The Panasonic HDC TM300 Full HD camcorder is an excellent equipment. This stands out of the other brands because of its 'Manual overide' function giving it a very professional standard. It has twin solid state memory instead of a Hard Disk Drive. Was heavily testing and roughing it out for the last four months. The 3CMOS sensors of 1/4" is superb. The Leica lenses are very detailed too.
As for the software and after trying it out, I have decided on the Sony Vegas Movie Studio 9 Platinum Pro Pack. It is easy to use with many drag & drop features. My 2 year old Dell Inspiron 15.1" with T7500 2.2GHz chip, work flawlessly. No problemo.
Please look out for more Full HD Video clips soon.

Video Light and Battery..part2

New LED Video Light

The newly ordered LED light panel consists of 70 [10mm] LEDs is being used now to test its efficiency.

I find it good because it is ultra-light weight and have a long battery operating life in between charge. It came with 4 barndoors with reflectors on the inside. This gives added brightness at a certain flipped angle. Although LED lighting have less 'punch' compared with a single quartz halogen, I like it because it has practically no heat and is less glaring.

As for this, I would only use it for close range illumination and not for group shots of 4m and above.

You can see the video I shot with this LED light at yesterday's posting of a food blog here.

There is no problem with the daylight side lighting and the LEDs color temperature is around 5000K.

Not found in Klang

A Traditional
Fish Dish

Was in Sungei Buloh visiting a friend's factory and was treated to lunch.

The main dish brings sweet memories especially during the 70's. This old traditional steam fishhead dish was a delicacy especially to the 'old' areas off Sungei besi, Pudu, Cheras and Salak South in Kuala Lumpur. We missed this more after we have moved to Klang.

Fresh water fishes such as the Chinese Grass Carp and the Bighead Carp are steamed together with light soy sauce or with grated young ginger or with tauchu (fermented soy beans). It was good that they kept to the traditional receipe.

Open Burning..pt2

The Video Proof

Here's the video at Youtube of yesterday's posting about open Burning in Klang.

Isn't this Banned?

Under Your Noses!

Blardy hell! I thought open burning is not allowed? What da fcuk the authorities are doing about the open burning under their own noses and only some hundred of metres near the NKVE toll gates off Setia Alam, Shah Alam, Selangor.

This photograph was taken today at 11:15am!

The burning have already been going on for more than a month. The video will show that the land 'user' is clearing it up to grow some crops. Just because the land is 'under' some high tension wires, namely it belongs to TNB and are being 'squatted' by some bloody fcukers MACC better go investigate! Will upload the video later.

I do not believe that ANY authorities did not see this! He or she must truly be blind! And as if we are not already choking with the imported SMOG! This is NOT peat fire. It is on a hill slope!Really shit!
See, the smoke and the heat that is adding to the already complicated lives around us. Especially for Shah Alam who is going to be more 'heated-up' the coming few days!!!!

Welcome Buddy!

Long-tailed Tailor Bird
Orthotomus sutorius
This is our new visitor. It must be the Smog that made this little twitter ended up in our home here in Klang. We have not see her before. We just loved to hear her high pitched twittings whenever she drops by.
Also due to the clearing of the vast tract of belukar (forrest) behind our home, this little bird have no where to go! On our lane, both the side and front, only our 3 trees (two mango trees and a moringa tree) is the tallest. Co-incidentally, these are the only trees growing here!
Many thanks to our fellow birder Mr. Ooi Chong Seng P.P.N. (his web page here) for his help. We deeply appreciate his identification of our new comer.

Unhygenic Trolleys!

Wake Up, TESCO!

I have been observing that many hypermarts do not clean up their trolleys. Some supermarts just leave the entire cluster out in the rain so that it can 'automatically' be washed by mother nature!

At TESCO, I made an official complain months ago after finding one (the damn lazy workers did not refill them at the area for customers to take) in the covered car park but was in an unhygenic condition which was filthy! There were unwanted leaflets strewn about, a cup of spilt milk (or something dreadful like baby's vomit!!) and guess what? A USED BABY DIAPER!

A USED BABY DIAPER!!! Damn it TESCO! It sure contains Baby's SHIT!!!!!
Are we supposed to use this to help us carry our foodstuff while shopping?
Hey TESCO, I have made a complain but months after, we still see the trolleys unclean!
I even cautioned the 'foreign worker' about this but he was rude! I strongly believe he does not care about it. I also believe that these 'damned workers' are from a third world country and may be eating shit for meals! It was pure filthy mind you! If they do not care for ours and our country's health, they should pack up and leave.

Just stop opening up so many hypermarts and employs 'foreigners' who also eat our already shortaged food-stuff, breath our already polluted air, drink our already polluted water and taking away our precious jobs!

Please don't blame the public (I have given up hope on most of them anyway). It is the duty of the outlet to provide us clean (and working!) trolleys anyway.
With diseases like the H1N1 on the prowl, things like this would make it worst!
Want to see these dirty trolleys for yourselves? Just go to TESCO Setia Alam, Klang!
Go there at peak periods! You will never be dissapointed!

Shame on you TESCO! You are supposed to be a multi-national company with good international standards. I am a regular shopper there and you owe me an explaination!

Bad Saturday!

BIG BAD FLU!
Remember the warning?

Remember the advices people were giving about the Big Bad Flu?
Seriously, just how many of us really remember all the good suggestions made?
We Malaysian do really have short memories do we?

Woke up this morning and received a call from a relative. Their two kids now are suspected having the 'big bad flu'. Have already been sick for two weeks. Been to the doctor and have been taking their medications but the sore throat came on and off. Strangely, I noticed the family's taking things "light and easy". Like still going to the hypermart, shopping, movies, also to school.
Now both of them started coughing! Their lungs are infected says the doctor.
WTF!
Now both of them are given medical 'leave' for 5 days. This is 'self quarantine'.
What is next after the 5 days?

At 2pm, while chatting with a fellow blogger, he mentioned that his wife and kid also kena bad cough last night. Their doctor also said something about their lungs and the 'big bad flu' today.
Then half an hour ago, two friends who are also my blog reader called up about their family doctor's visit hours ago. All kena the flu! No wonder, bloggers also missing already!
WTF!
It looks like it is going to be an interesting week ahead!!!!!
What else can we say?

My advice to those who are very concern is this:-

1) Stop taxing your body's immune system. Cut off ALL processed food you are eating everyday such as KFC, McD, man-made-convenient food like mee, bihun, cakes, processed sugar, processed salt, canned drinks, meat, milo, instant noodles, & instant everything!!!!
2) Give your body a time to heal by eating ONLY natural food like natural fruits and vegetables.


3) Plenty of rest and sleep and pure drinking water. (Not mineral water mind you !)
4) Switch off that damned "Air- conditioner"! You really can sleep without it. Wear thinner clothes
not only it is sexier, it is much cooler too! You will soon forget about that 'flu'! and remember to chuck that 'bloody' thick comforter,
out of the bedroom! Switch on the fan and use a thinner 'towel-like' blanket if you have to!
5) Stay OUT of crowded places. Serious!
6) Eat IN. Do not eat OUT!
7) Wear that mask for your own sake! Use this if you have to!
Do all this for two weeks. I sincerely think you would be able to feel better.
To those unfortunate friends who are going thru such period, please stay positive and fight this ordeal.

All the best!
