And Enjoying It!
Was at Bukit Malawati in Kuala Selangor this morning. Testing out my new Panasonic Lumix DMC GH2 Camera , a Micro Four Third System. The result was astonishing. Never expected
it to perform beyond expectation, especially for my use in videographing birds.
You see, this is a new & revolutionary photographic design and it is going to change the photographic world by surprise. You see, DSLR is actually a digital version of the old system called SLR (single lens reflex).
With new technologies, it was discovered that the need for the mirror and a large penta-prism (so common in DSLRs) is outdated. Moreover, it is bulky and large! Just see those 'bigger-than- your-hand DSLRs. The lenses too are huge and costly!
So, why pay and suffer? Is it more macho to hold such huge cameras?
Please see this article here at The Luminuos Landscape about "Coming of Age".
GH2's ETC [Extra Tele Conv] turned the 300mm lens to a humomgus 1,560mm without ANY loss of Image Quality & Light.
It is NOT the so called digital zoom so commonly found in other cams. This GH2's surprising performance which I believe that even the marketing department people at Panasonic did NOT know about! Please read this site in regards to "Free Lunch".
And more discoveries about this amazing new camera at more GH2 Discoveries.
My test video below will show you why I am so excited.
Fellow birders and wildlife videographers, please search no more.
We have found what we want.
Bravo Panasonic! Good work.
Now let's go get some more birds.

Restauranteurs Boycott?
Boycott Restaurants!
Read in the press that an ass-ociation of coffeeshops and restaurants want to close shop for a day to show displeasure with MPPJ (or any council) for being too strict with their operation focusing mainly on cleanliness. Boycott?
Go ahead assholes! Close for a day and see if we care.
Food poisoning are on the increase. Workers from the third world countries seems to have a mentality problem when it comes to cleanliness. This is what we have observed :-
Chicken Rice Stalls. We have seen many times that workers uses their friggin' BARE hands when moving chopped meat from chopperboard to plates/packets. Their excuse? Many customers are waiting so using plastic gloves wastes time! Fcuk!
Drinks counter.
Instead of holding glasses individually like this,
workers uses BARE fingers to take 8 plastic containers/glasses to be filled with ordered drinks. They also uses BARE fingers to take ice cubes into glasses! I saw one who was digging into his large nostril prior taking ice cubes at a mamak joint! I might as well lick his hairy nostrils!
Just imagine this creep bitting his fingernails after visiting the toilet!
At a Noodle counter, after wiping the table with a dirty table rag, he prepares noodles ala BARE hands! Yummy rite?
I even saw one foreign lady (who was coughing as if she is going to die), cough onto her palms, and then using the same hand to pick up and place vegetable-garnishings on to a plate of noodles. Again it was at a mamak shop!
Look you third world workers, if you have been eating shit and drinking urine for meals, no sir, we do not intend to do the same here. You are employed because you want dirt cheap salary paid by cheapskate bosses. No sir, we have already eradicated TB (tubercoulosis), Dysentry, Cholera.......from our shores but you are bringing all back here again. Fcuk you.
No sir, when ever I see a foreign worker serving in a restaurant, I would BOYCOTT this particular shop. Another thing, have you ever experience how these blokes talks to you when taking your order? Yah! it is just full of scarsm and rudeness! Fcuk you assholes! What is it with so many tattoos on your arms! You look like a bloody convict!
Dear MPPJ, MBSA, MBSJ...... we support you. FTDD*! Our health is more important than their livelihood. My only wish is Malaysia can be on par with some advanced countries. Anyone get sick after eating a meal from an outlet, the place gets hell big time. We should even be allowed to SUE them for RM1 million each medical case just to see who is more important.
Dear readers, you maybe asking why all that rant. We have had just enough especially with so many relatives ending up in hospitals for food poisoning during and before the Chinese New Year. One almost died! Shitting 'bricks' are no fun either.
We shot a video loaded up on You Tube about how a hawker reuses a hand glove!
Our Health enforcement suxs to high heaven and almost doesn't exist! Have you even seen one officer lately? No, I haven't seen one for the last 20 odd years!
So readers and friends, join us in fighting for our rights especially for our family's health. Do NOT patronise these unhygienic outlets anymore. Enough is enough. This will show that you care.

Spotted!
Little Heron
Butorides striatus
This picture was taken in PJ, along the Federal Highway near the Astaka Sports Complex.

This picture was taken in PJ, along the Federal Highway near the Astaka Sports Complex.
Identifying this juvenile bird is quite confusing as I got mixed up with the Cinnamon Bittern.
These residents and winter migrants are commonly found around marshes, ponds and large drains in search of food. Next week, many of their relatives (perhaps in their thousands) are making their way from the Northern Hemisphere such as China, Mongolia, Russia..... would be visiting us here in Malaysia.
One can go to the MNS Kuala Selangor Bird Park and also the Paya Indah Wetlands in Dengkil (which was re-opened last Sunday) to try to spot these visitors.
Get your 'Bins' ready,............it's Birding Time folks!

A short trip out of town
KUALA SELANGOR
To chill out after a tiring 2 days trying to get the hacked blogsites back on, we took a drive up the coast. Took some nice pictures of some birds (the feathered kind), had their famous sea food and explored a swamp!
