Sanitary Pads

Do You Think I'm Sexy?

Please keep such pea brained people out of the limelight. They are not only dumb but seriously dangerous to the world's sanity. Just imagine that we are still churning out so called leaders with such low mentality to lead the crowd. Are these people "World Class"?

The news reported here.

Just how can the following pictures cause people to commit SIN? Rape? Incest? Dirty thought? Let us look at some and see if we can be turned into a raving maniac!!!!



Was that 'sexy'? Enough to turn you 'on'? WTF?

I would have just opened that main door and chuck this person out as an unfit person with such low mentality at such a big meeting.

Tak Malu!!!!

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.

KL Bird Park

ReVisited

Did a video shoot here last Saturday.

This time, only specific species were selected and a close up HD shot was taken showing details with good colors recorded. Video filming of birds are very difficult as compared to still photography. The equipment alone is hard to obtain here in Malaysia especially video tripods, lighting and microphones. Worst still are equipment for lowly camcorders because of the price.


The HD Video clip is here.

To enjoy the sights and sound, please do connect your sound output to your sub-woofer to hear the deep 'cooing' of the largest pigeon in the world, the Victoria Crowned Pigeon. Beautiful. Also do observe it's ritual of bowing eight time each session!

If you are fortunate enough to have a high speed broadband such as the UNIFI here in Malaysia please click at the '360p' button to select 1080p for maximum resolution exactly the High Definition quality we have produced in.

Enjoy.

What DO You Want?

Spewing Shit

What is NOT lacking in our country these days is Politicians spewing racists comments and causing uneasiness amongst the populace.

Just what is this "SI MATA SEPET" all about?

Or this "SI BOTTOL" labelling all about?
You are all supposed to be 'educated' and matured leaders that is supposed to show good examples but chose to gutter speak instead.

Then again, why, their bosses still remain silent is anyones' guess.

Yes, please continue creating all these shit and see if the world cares. Foreign Investors certainly notices. Now we know why they are not coming here.

Here is an example of the biggest chibai mouth in the world!

That reminds me of the first picture of a rhinocerous having a bad case of Cirit Birit! (the runs)

Bravo GH2!

I Want it!

The new Panasonic Lumix GH2 micro Four Thirds Camera is fanstastic in every Technological aspect from shooting HD Video and Stills 'without Compromise'!
Launched at Fotokina hours ago, reviewers are all going GaGa with Oooos!..and Ahhhs!

In summary, if one is using an HD camcorder (last years model) and is wanting to change into the professional type, it would cost you an arm and a leg! And, as at yesterday, there is no camcorder that have larger sensor for cinematic d.o.f effect. plus lens inter-changeability. The Lumix GH2 does all that AND....now hear this.....you can continue shooting photos with quality equals to that from bigger (current) DSLRs!! The GH2 is now a Photo AND Video camera... no compromise!

Prices announced for the GH2 with kit lens 14mm-140mm is at USD1,450.00
For review and more technical information and prices go to Engadget.Com here.

The 'End' is Near!

Photokina 2010
Tomorrow, many buyers of new photographic equipment would give a sigh of relief when all major camera makers launches new models for the world market.

This once in 2 years event is being held in Cologne, Germany.

I am involved indirectly. Very indirectly, because of my (bad) timing (maybe a good omen) as I am about to switch from using a HD camcorder right up to the top at 'full frame' DSLR.

Since ten days, sleepless nights and nightmares were experienced. (see, photography is a dangerous hobby indeed.) And 'secret news leaks' are trickling through day by day.

I was very keen on the new Sony Handycam NEX VG10, a prosumer camcorder that shoots in Full HD 1080p. I was so sure that it would be da dream baby!
Then, my ex lover called!

" Hey Baby! I am back and I am badder than before. I am now called the GH2 from Panasonic. I heard that you have your eye on the Sony chick and she is a camcorder."Moreover I am now better equipt to excite your senses and you will be amazed to see what I can really do for your birds!"
The Panasonic GH2 (that replaces GH1) is a micro Four/Third system that is completely new and is doing away with the old design (the SLR).Unfortunately, it is still being used as the DSLR on the two Giants (brand Nik & the brand Can) in the Field. It is getting outdated.
The GH2 does away completely with the mechanical mirror, the large and heavy penta-prisms and finally the complicated mechanical shutter. It will have a global shutter from now on.
Because of these changes, the DSLR is now about to be burried with the dead!
The GH2's video is now on 1920x1080p and the 'roller shutter' effect problem is now gone too!
This is good news. With such great sensors in smaller bodies, we now go get some large lenses!

We will wait for more good news then....

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!

Turtle Watch

FOUND!
10 pairs every night!

As many know that Trenggannu is world famous for its Turtle egg laying, the authorities have reported that they have been finding new mating animals along the entire coast of the South China Sea.

The observations have been going on since 2004 and a volunteer working on this said that he had personally seen 2,400 animals on the beach for the last six years. If ten pairs are seen every night, the total would be the witnessing of 7,300 animals a year! This is a record and a suggestion have been made to report it to UNESCO and the WWF!
Our tourism Ministry is now getting aware and are concerned about the possible surge in tourists.
Plans are underway as it will surely affect our Tourism activities.
When asked about the new method of observation which brought success, the volunteer gleefully announced that they listen for sounds of 'heavy breathing' (in the dark!)
The nests have been found behind coconut trees, by the side of large rocks, on the open beach itself and even inside cars!

The newspaper reported this find yesterday, here.

If you want to join in the search, the local gormen is now suggesting that.." to light up the entire beaches placing high intensity floodlights so that we can watch it in living High Definition details and color!"
The above is a parody about this state in Malaysia who do not fail to amuse us with senseless news.

First, it was about allowing only the very Rich to visit an island. Second, it was about an award winning teacher who encourages everyone to read and have sex every night in order to be a 'smart' person!
Yesterday, it was reported that students from a nearby university, got caught having sex on the beach. Like all students of higher learning elsewhere, they should be reading books and working on their thesis.

Instead of nipping the problem in the bud, they are planning to employ officers with a special 'skills' of looking in the dark without night vision devices. They should also have ears that can detect "kissing sounds in total darkness". What rubbish!

Oh! How I really wish they can spend these ridiculous time and money to search for the real Leatherbacks.

As for the sex making humans, please lah, educate them.

Bak Kut Th'ng

New Dish On The Block

Wanna try a new dish here in Klang?

It sounds like the Klang's famous Bak Kut Teh (Pork Rib Soup) but it is not.
It is Bak Kut Teng (Th'ng) as in 'soup' and the receipe is from Northern Thailand.

No dried spices and MSG is ever used.
Only FRESH garden HERBS goes into the soup and a special method of retaining the goodness of the taste of the meat is applied.

The Chefs are formerly from a well known Crab Restaurant in Subang Jaya which was famous for their fiery 'hot' chilli Crabs. Restaurant 'Or'Teng Bak Kut Teng is located along the famous Mee Hun Kueh shop and the Pao Xiang Bak Kut Teh outlet.
It is at No. 37, Lorong Bangau, Taman Berkeley, 41150 Klang Selangor.

We like the fresh taste and it is very delicious. It is very different and we wish many can accept it as a new dish. No, it is not even like the Bak Kut of the South which is peppery.

You gotta try it out and we are going back for some more.

A HD Video is made here.

Enjoy!
