Crash

Watched "Crash" in Saturday night at HBO channel. This award winning filem seems appealing to me. The story of the movie is quite good, in which it smartly shows how all others people crash together in the cool-blooded LA city. All of the poeple, from different background and races, crashed together. Among the crashes, most of the crashes cause friction and suspicious due to the races differences in US.

I like the starting, when the Graham said: "It's the sense of touch. In any real city, you walk, you know? You brush past people, people bump into you. In L.A., nobody touches you. We're always behind this metal and glass. I think we miss that touch so much, that we crash into each other, just so we can feel something."

This is a must see movie. It happen to us also, just that we don't realize. More nice quotes from this movie can be found on this site.

Raining days

Recently, especially this weeks, raining in the early morning or at the midnight. It is unusual to see raining in March so heavily.

As expected, raining days will make the traffic more slower.

My daily life .

Come to work in the morning, sun still around. Traffic is heavy.


Always see this road sign, where I going to.


Work until night, no more sun, but traffic still heavy.

Traffic jam, when you already late ....

Every days, I need to deal with the traffics on the road. It would be a pleasant journey to work if the traffic is not in severe jam. However, the roads become full of vehicle, when you already late to work. Isn't it funny?

Cars, cars, cars


Cars, cars, cars...


Too many cars ...

Pictures taken using my new FX3 camera

Panasonic New Lumixs

Checked the star paper, and found that Panasonic will launch another new series of camera.

FZ8

LS70

TZ3

Included in the lineup are the wide-angle lens TZ3, TZ2 and FX30 models; the powerful 12x optical zoom FZ8 and entry level LS70.

My dream camera is the FZ serias from Panasonic. The lens is bigger, and can capture many lights. However, due to the ease of usage, I buy the FX3.

However, I will still purchase the FZ series when needed.

My Messy Room

Today I used the camera I bought, and took several shots to test the camera.


This is the place where I sleep and write the blog. A bit messy, but at least it shows the real life of a busy man who hardly can find time to tidy the room. I prefer to take pictures naturally. In which, let the room be as it normal condition, rather than in a very tidy and neat room. This hardly can reflect my business in my daily life.


There was no view outside the window. Just the backside of second row houses.


I like the curtain, in simply yellowish colour. The colour make me a good mood to stay and rest.

I bought the Panasonic DMC-FX3 -- not FX10

I went to Midvalley today and bought the FX3, after finding out that the silver colour of FX10 is not as appealing as the black colour of FX3. In addition, FX3 is at lower price, with RM100 less than FX10. In addition, it also come along with 1Gb Memory, casing, SD card holder casing and shoe bag. All this sound too great to buy a easy use camera. Since FX10 and FX3 are not much different in the specification, I bought the FX3.

I checked the review in Imaging Resource website, as quoted as below:

The budget model in Panasonic's stylish and very portable Lumix line, the DMC-FX3 has a basic set of features, but enough added functionality courtesy of Panasonic's exclusive imaging technology to warrant a second look -- especially at its reasonable price point. Being offered for as low as $230 at some online retailers, the Panasonic FX3 is based around a 6 megapixel sensor and Leica-branded 3x optical zoom lens with effective focal lengths of 35mm to 105mm. Exclusive to Panasonic -- though some competing manufacturers offer similar technology -- the FX3 boasts MEGA O.I.S. image stabilization, which helps correct for hand-shake by actually shifting the lens to keep the axis straight against the CCD when you snap a shot. If you've never tried MEGA O.I.S. before, you'll be in for a pleasant surprise --- and you likely won't want to turn it off!

The Panasonic FX3 has a generous 2.5-inch LCD display but with a fairly average resolution of 115,000 pixels and, like a lot of digital cameras these days, no optical viewfinder. For those who like to shoot in low light without a flash, ISO light sensitivity is selectable only between 100 and 400 on the Panasonic FX3. However in its special High Sensitivity scene mode, the camera will automatically boost the ISO up to a maximum of 1,600, which is great for shooting in low light. On the downside, the camera captures images at reduced resolution in this mode to compensate for high sensitivity processing.

Speaking of scene modes, the Panasonic FX3 has 17 of them including the unique "Baby" modes that allow you to program a date of birth in each, and then have your images tagged with your children's current ages at the time the photo is taken. Other nice perks include available shutter speeds from 1/2,000 to 60 which is quite a bit longer than is common on most digicams. The Panasonic FX3 also offers a higher-than-average movie resolution of 848 x 480 pixels, as well as the ability to shoot clips in 16:9 wide angle which is great for playing back on widescreen TVs. So while the Panasonic FX3 might look like a budget model on paper, it's certainly no stripped down, bargain-basement camera.

To me, it is a budget camera, but it suit my need for normal use. This camera, is a gift that I buy for myself for the hard work I have been done so far.

So tempting to this New Model of Digital Camera

This is a review I found for this new launch camera in imaging resource website as below:

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX10 is a six megapixel version of its close sibling, the seven megapixel DMC-FX12. It shares the same body, lens, and LCD, at a $30 savings. The only other difference is the selection of colors offered.

The Lumix DMC-FX10 features a LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT 3x optical zoom lens with 35 - 105mm equivalent focal range, 2.5-inch 115,000 pixel LCD display, 27MB of built-in memory, SD / MMC card slot with SDHC card compatibility, and power from a proprietary Lithium Ion battery.

The Panasonic FX10 also incorporates the company's "Intelligent ISO Control" system (first seen on the FZ50), which detects whether or not the subject is moving and automatically raises the ISO setting, allowing the camera to shoot at a higher shutter speed when needed. This feature, together with Panasonic's MEGA O.I.S (Optical Image Stabilizer) should help keep blurry pictures due to subject or camera motion to a minimum.

Other FX10 features include ISO sensitivities from 100 to 1250 with the ability to extend this to ISO 3200 equivalent in High Sensitivity mode, shutter speeds from 1/2000 to 60 seconds, and a whopping 20 scene modes (Portrait, Soft Skin, Scenery, Sports, Night Portrait, Night Scenery, Self-Portrait, Food, Party, Candle, Fireworks, Starry Sky, Beach, Aerial photo, Snow, Baby1, Baby2, Underwater, Sunset and Pet). The DMC-FX10 also offers a wide aspect-ratio movie mode with a resolution of 848 x 480 pixels, as well as lower-resolution 640 x 480 and 320 x 240 pixel options, all at rates up to 30 frames-per-second and encoded in the QuickTime Motion JPEG format common on many digicams.

After reading the review, and the advertisement I read in the newspaper, I was so tempting to this slim and stylish camera. To me, the camera is slim, and easy for me to carry the camera around. In addition, the price is under RM1000. I think it is worth to buy since it is using Leica Len for this product.

I think I seldom buy a gift for myself. In conjunction to the bonus that I will get end of this month, I think I will buy this camera as a gift for my hard work through the year of 2006.

Add the same time, I have a digital camera, my first digital camera, which is also Panasonic (DMC-FZ1). This camera I bought at the year of 2003. I like this camera and I have taken this camera to US and China trip before. It still work until now. Although I can buy a newer version of this model of camera. However, due to the budget constrains and the ease of handling, I find that the new DMC-FX10 is much more favorable for this time buying.

SMART TUNNEL in Malaysia

It is proud to be a Malaysian, since you have tons of opportunities to experience high-tech and intelligent facilities or infrastructure in Kuala Lumpur.

One of the highlighted infrastructure that KL citizen can experience is The Smart Tunnel. SMART Tunnel will see 30,000 vehicles travelling its length when it begins operations this month.


The Stormwater Management and Road or "SMART Tunnel", is a storm drainage and road structure. This will be the longest stormwater tunnel in South East Asia and second longest in Asia. The main objective of this tunnel is to solve the problem of flash floods in Kuala Lumpur and also to reduce traffic jams along Jalan Sungai Besi and Loke Yew flyover at Pudu during rush hour.

There are two components of this tunnel, the stormwater tunnel and motorway tunnel.
It begins at Kampung Berembang lake near Ampang and ends at Taman Desa lake near Sungai Kerayong at Salak South. The project is led by the government, including Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) and the Department of Irrigation and Drainage Malaysia (Jabatan Pengairan dan Saliran = JPS) and also a company joint venture pact between Gamuda Berhad and Malaysian Mining Corporation Berhad(MMC)



It is estimated that the first month as it would be toll-free during this period. This tunnel will be official run on March 9. The 3km motorway makes up part of a 9.7km water tunnel designed to channel water away from the city, reducing the risk of a flood. The part where the motorway meets the water tunnel is the world’s first two-in-one tunnel. In this area, water is channelled into a lower deck while the middle and upper decks are for motorists. If need be, the two decks for vehicles can also be flooded to channel water.The RM1.93 billion tunnel provides an alternative for motorists to escape the Jalan Tun Razak traffic congestion.It is estimated that 200,000 vehicles travel the road above the tunnel daily.

When Love is end ...

I found a very nice words written by a blogger.
I have the same feeling when I write those words. It is true, in the world of love, something it is hurt...


为什么能容忍你 因为我爱你
为什么严格要求你 因为我爱你
为什么你不听，不做，不理，不问。。。。。。
因为你太自私，太不懂为人处世。
我明白两个人在一起，最用心的那个人，是最受伤的那个人。
我尽力了 无奈被伤的体无完肤。
我死心了 重生从心死去的那一刻开始。
为自己而活。。。。。。

When best become worst

Again, I find something that make me feel a bit down. Knowing the truth or understand the truth is sometime very pain and hard.

Feel that I always make friend relationships become worst. May be I don't know how to make friend or don't know how to maintain a good relationship with friends. Sometime it is a very scary experience for me, in which, most of the people I care most, will finally end up with silent or disappearing.

May be I not a good candidate to become a best friend for. I should keep a distance to all my friends.



I wish you all the best. Hope everything is still fine for you.
