If you walk by Pavillion KL recently, you will noticed that Honda Malaysia had posted up a huge billboard at the Esprit side previewing this...

Yea! Its Honda Freed, the long awaited compact MPV from Honda finally arrive our shores. Honda Malaysia told that it will be launched end of this month!

The billboard also hinting that the MPV will have 2 auto power sliding door for the rear door! Its really great feature make the Freed look classy.

Imagine the Toyota Alphard / Estima sliding door behind that can be open in motorized way!

It is powered by Honda 1.5 litter engine putting out 118ps! So it will not be under-power for this MPV for your concern.

According to Honda SA, this Freed will be selling at RM120k, so guys and girls, prepare your savings if you want to get 1!

In Thailand, its selling around RM95k, but our tax structure had bump the price up. Anyway, this is still a good MPV that is worth to get.

The house is haunted due to the activity done in the past inside the house by ex-owner in 1800's era. Finally, the teenage decided to revenge...

This ain't a new movie, its on cinema on year 2009 in US cinema. Luckily, we still able to enjoy this movie now although its abit late. From 5 star i would rate 3 star to this movie.

So lets go and watch it!

Finally... 450D is my 1st DSLR...

Hey ya! Thanks for everyone that left comments in fb, msn, or here ya!

after considering, i bought a Canon EOS 450D... =)



bought it from Lowyat Plaza...

The cost?

RM2100 for the camera, memory card, bag.
RM50 for Digieye TR4500 tripod.
RM170 for Hoya Polarizer UV filter.

so total i spent RM2320 on this machine... Is the Hoya lens i really bought it overprice? Some of my friends say so. T.T


ANYWAY, IM STILL A BEGINNER AKA NOOBIE! I need you guys suggestion on how to utilize my camera. would appreciate if you guys give me suggestion ya!

Heres my 1st trial shoot @ titiwangsa lake.

Canon EOS 450D, f/5.6, 1.6sec, EV 0, ISO 200, Focal lengh 55mm

Canon EOS 450D, f/6.3, 6 sec, EV 0, ISO200, Focal lengh 55mm

ps: excuse my poor photo angle...4get to bring tripod... =.='

Lesson: Never forget tripod when going for skyline shot...

Conclusion: Seriously i need someone to improve my photography skills... ^^

Finally can afford dslr... 1000D/450D or D3000?

Just home from Low Yat Plaza after surveying DSLR prices.

Now in my consideration would be 1000D, 450D or Nikon's D3000.

I have the budgets to go up to 450D so its a dilemma. Because im wondering if 450D is by a grade better than 1000D?

OR

About D3000, i know it have no live view feature and heard that it do not support many types of lens, so it will definitely restrict my lens upgrade in future, the only point of considering this is its price.

So how? any user of 450D, 1000D or D3000 like to share your idea?

P/S: Wonder if there is still anybody read my blog, i had put it aside since months ago due to lackage of camera. LOL!

If you read this, i need HELP!!!!!!! Getting this tomorrow. >.<

Cameron Highlands - Part 1

Well, i had visited Cameron Highlands on 29 November. Here are the photos i take... Note, it gonna be long and in few part.

Lets start with our 1st stop...

1st stop: RESTAURANT PIN ZHEN Bidor，Perak

Their signature noodles, duck's drumstick noodle is simply so delicious! Go early or you will regret as they sold out. During the day i go, the noodle sold out as early as 11.30am and you have to wait 2 hours if sold out as they need to do again.

Another famous stuff for the shop, Bidor Chicky Biskuit (Kai Zai Beng) and Hiong Beng is so hot selling till you have to make a long que to buy it over the counter!

Pictures says all! This is a Siew Pao stall in the Restaurant, their Wu Kok and Siew Pao is really delicious and beats almost all restaurant in KL! Thumbs up for the old uncle that make this!

Well, this restaurant is located right beside the Bidor Main road, coming out from Bidor Toll you will just need to turn right to the main road.

2nd Stop: Cameron Valley Tea Plantation Farm and Cafe

Next, we head our ways to our resort destination, Brinchang of Cameron Highlands.

The journey up to Cameron via Tapah - Cameron Road. The road is steep and with tight corners, becareful when you use this road. I recommend to use Simpang Pulai - Cameron road as it is wider.

Lata Iskandar Waterfall is along the road, i promise myself that i will stop by on our way back to home.

We continue our journey to Cameron Highlands and we saw a very nice scenery make us stop.

Where is it? Its Cameron Valley Tea Plantation Farm & Cafe!

The tea is all over the mountain and there is a cafe here for us to enjoy our tea with the farm view!

Me @ Cameron Valley cafe

After having tea in the cafe, we decided to walk around the tea plantation farm.

The sky are blue, the leaves are green, so peaceful! =)

The Tea plantation farm is located along the way to Tapah - Cameron Highland Road. Between Ringlet and Tanah Rata town.

Movie time : Obsessed

Obsessed is a good movie i think worth watching especially for couple to pay for watch!

The storyline is about the marriage life of a black man staring by Idris Elba and a hot black housewife staring by Beyonce, being interupted by a white lady (Ali Larter).

The marriage of them almost perfect with a lovely child, but not until a white lady comes working in his office. She is hot and takes him as her target. She did countless action trying to destroy his marriage. And because of trust, Idris and Beyonce didn't affected by her and revenge on her action.

Its a real hot movie that i would like to recommend to all of you guys if you guys haven watch it! The storyline is extremely close to our real life couple relationship which needs trust. Watch it and who knows? It can improve your relationship with your love one!

Michael Jackson RIP, June 25, 2009

Its had been some long time for me to settle down the surprise i had after hearing the news that the 1 time top pop star Michael Jackson, had passed away of heart attack yesterday in Los Angeles at the age of 50.

Although there is some scandals around him which drag him into problems but this doesn't affect his status in most of our heart. We knew that he is a legend of pop and once it is a dream for us to be someone like him.

Michael Jackson! Like what you sing to us with the song "You Are Not Alone", we all fans will continue support you no matter where you are! You are not alone, we will remember you with your songs!

Michael Jackson - You Are Not Alone



Still remember Michael Jackson's moon walk? Until today, this dance is still being immitate and learn by alots of teenage out there.

Michael Jackson's Moon walk video:



I believe most of us are aware that Michael Jackson are going to have concerts in London in July. It will be his most success concert in his career. Its sad to hear that he could not make it for the rest of his life.

Lets watch some classic video of him in his previous concert.

Michael Jackson - Billie Jean



Michael Jackson - Beat It



Michael Jackson Live In Kuala Lumpur - Dangerous




Michael Jackson, RIP,

June 25, 2009

Let us pray for him. May him be blessed.

有人买你吗？买人游戏。。。

最近交友网站例如facebook好像都很流行买人游戏。。。

一个人的身价，在那里都能一览无遗。。。

有人平平无奇，可是价钱却被朋友们炒的很高。。。

有的人却是个穷光蛋，这不是人生吗？

这游戏就好像告诉了我们人生的现实。。。

而你，又被买了吗？

KL evening skyline @ Saga Highland

This time, i had my KL skyline shoot at SAGA Highland. Where here have a lots of restaurant lining up along the hillside.

There is a very good western restaurant serving nice chop and steaks. A must try of their menu, Gordon Bleu Chicken Chop and Cod fish. Besides that, if you prefer some cheaper foodstall, there is a few mamak stall located there too!

Note, this is not LookoutPoint. Both are different place and this one located nearby Bukit Permai aka Little Genting.

Enjoy some view captured by me with my poor phone. I know my phone is poor, but the aurora view is simply great!

Interested to go this place? If you guyz interested i might prepare a map to this place. Its located nearby LookOutPoint but situated downhill nearer to KL.

I love this place simply because now the lookoutpoint is over crowded with people and this place do give us some peace while spectating the KL view.

Btw, now im preparing a webshop. If anyone have things to supply for me to sell, you are welcome ya!

OK. Take care and bye! Ciaoz.
