I still love you, SE K810i

You have been with me for the past 2 years, serving loyally and diligently. A few days back, you gave your 10000th shot. This post is intended to highlight what we have gone through together, and to remind me how amazing you are with your powerful Cyber-shot.

Well the most prominent feature of yours must be none other than the Xenon flash you emit. For a small camera like you, that's a pretty good flash you provide. As a result, I can shoot great photos despite being in dim or zero light condition.

The next favourite feature is certainly your Document Mode. This mode has given me tremendous amount of convenience and satisfaction. The words captured are so sharp, so readable. You save me all the time and hassle of having to copy everything into papers. With just one snap, hundreds of words are captured, ready to be viewed anytime.

Nice sharp writing

With time, I realize that your Document Mode can do more than that. It can serve as a macro-mode as well, capturing nice close-up photos. I love to experiment the macro mode the most. I love the details. I love the sharpness.

Diligent ants

Beautiful caterpillar

No teardrops on my guitar

Flowers

Another incidental discovery is the effect of capturing an image while shaking your body LOL. Never thought it can be that awesome.

Shake your body. The strings of light are actually created from lamp posts' bulb.

I also enjoy shooting the nature with you. You perform really well under bright condition.

Green leaves

Old trees

You are always there for me whenever there are memorable moments & priceless expressions worth capturing. With your fast reaction speed, these moments are now eternalized.

Meow...

Hahaha

No acrophobia!!

Surgery!!

Come rain.......

Or come shine......

or gloomy day....

Sunrise....

Or sunset...

..., you did your job as splendidly as always.


10000 and counting. I can't believe we have come this far in 2 years. Despite having only 3 Megapixels, you manage to capture images well beyond my expectation. My only complaint is the lack of contrast, which can be overcome with a little tweaking using Irfan View or Picasa.


I am well-aware of the fact that you are not the best camera in the market. Heck, your SE brothers are going size 12! You are no longer the King of Camera Phones, a title you held 2 years ago. Still, you never break down, you never have a major malfunction, and you persistently give me great photos. You also fulfill my occasional urge to cam-whore LOL!


I still love you, SE K810i. You rock!!

Creepy Scientist

I need some live music to heal my soul.

Wings Musicafe

Wings Musicafe. The place where I discovered great live performance.

This is the place where I discovered the best rendition of Radiohead's Creep & Coldplay's The Scientist that I have come across. I didn't manage to get the name of the performer though.

From time to time, I will still actively recall the moment where I sat with a bunch of friends in front of the stage, enjoying the soothing live performance.

These two songs are in the list of my all-time favourites. The truth is, I actually prefer the performer's version to the original version LOL. Well maybe it was the live effect. Maybe it was the nice atmosphere. Maybe I prefer acoustic version to rock version.

Due to the lack of transportation and busy life, I have not returned to the cafe for more great performance. Still, I will definitely make time to revisit the cafe.

I'm looking forward to the next visit.

I'm looking forward to more pleasant surprises from the live performance.

The aforementioned performer was not in this picture

One heck of a week

I'm exhausted.

Surgery posting in UKMMC was unexpectedly more tiring than internal medicine, despite the smaller patient load. I am starting to miss my life in Hospital Teluk Intan.

On-call for the whole weekend, covering new admissions. Rather eventful actually, with a case of torrential upper and lower GI bleed leading to collapse (patient survived eventually), and a bomb blast incident killing one woman and critically injured a man. Well my role was insignificant, being an observant and space-occupant =).

Also played the role of a houseman and an assistant in the ward, clerking patients and attending patients' needs.

I can't wait for Raya Holidays to come. I really need this break to rest myself after a long week in my comfy home, to be with my family members, to hang out with friends, to complete my write-up and to catch-up on my study.

Tomorrow is another cycle of exhausting week (minus the on-call).
My life will only get busier from here.

=(

Thank You

I admit it.

Life as a medical student is not the most exciting one. Lots of clinical skills to acquire, lots of knowledge to gain. As a result, I will have to sacrifice a certain amount of time on entertainment.

As a resourceful person (haha), I will seek alternatives to bring joy and laughter into my life. One of them - Malaysia's politics and social issues. Reading the comments and opinions by certain parties can make me go LOL and sometimes even LMAO or ROFL.

Due to potential sensitivity of the issues, I will not state my opinion (kiasi). Emoticons will suffice for my expression.

Excerpts from The Star:

"All businesses in the city must fly the state flag on the Perak Ruler’s birthday on April 19 and the Jalur Gemilang on Aug 31 if they want their licences renewed, said Ipoh Mayor Datuk Roshidi Hashim"   ^o^

"Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein : MCA should not forget the struggles of Barisan Nasional when it fought for the Chinese demands"  _|_

"Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has called for an investigation by the Penang Islamic Religious Council and police on allegations that the name of Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng was cited instead of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong’s during Friday prayers in several mosques in Penang"  :-S

"PERKASA has lodged a police report against MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek, accusing him delivering “an irresponsible statement” at an economic forum recently. They claimed that Dr Chua had questioned the equity quota given to bumiputras and suggested that the system should be changed"  +.+

"Sg Petani School Principal told Chinese students they weren't needed in the country and could return to China and that the prayer strings Indian students tied around their necks and wrists were similar to dog leashes" o_o

"PAS is blaming Valentine’s Day and New Year celebrations as among the main causes of baby dumping in the country"  :-( (Wei, I still want my holidays!)

"The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has been taken to task for posting on its official blog, an entry ridiculing Thai pathologist Dr Pornthip Rojanasunand. The entry, which described her as a fortune-teller, also had a doctored picture of Dr Pornthip dressed as a gypsy and sitting in front of a crystal ball"  XD

Also, funny courtroom drama on TBH inquest.

Who says politics are boring? 

A big 'muaks' and thank you for the little amusement you provide for my otherwise boring life.

Of Quota and Ideas

I find myself pretty selfish. I have subscribed to many blogs, and I get to know the feelings, opinions, stands and intimate details in life of bloggers around the world, without actually sharing any. I guess it is time to open up myself to let the world know a little bit more about me. So I am forcing myself to exercise my fingers and brain to write a new post at least once fortnightly.

Sometimes I really don't know what to write in order not to sound lame, but I guess I shouldn't care so much, after all this is my blog and I can write whatever crap I like, can't I? I will just let my emotions and feelings take charge of the course of this blog.

That's all for my rants. More entries coming soon.

Call Me Noob

Was lazy to start one, but here i am. Google reader makes me feel that it is important to share nice piece of articles (or shits) in the blogs. Do check this site for more updates. =)
