Why Sony Alpha?

I had listened to several people who asked me why did you buy Sony alpha instead of Nikon or Canon? Yes, Sony is new in this industry, if not mistaken their first model of Digital SLR was Sony a100 released in early 2006. Basically, Sony alpha utilizes and expands upon Konica Minolta camera technologies. That explains why Minolta lenses fit with Sony alpha. If you compare Sony alpha with Canon or Nikon in terms of specifications, of course Sony alpha is the lowest rank among these three but in terms of the picture quality there's not much difference but depends on your skills. Previously, customers were afraid of buying Sony alpha products because Sony might not be able to compete with other companies such as Nikon and Canon that have been involved in this industry for ages, in the end they might leave this industry just like that and what happen next? No more accessories and lenses will be produced for Sony alpha. That is so worrying. But as time goes by, Sony never seemed to abandon this field. They'r getting better in time with few more Sony alpha cameras being introduced. They'r looking more and more serious to compete in this industry.

In Malaysia, if you search through websites such as Lelong.com or Mudah.com you can easily find items that compatible with Sony Alpha especially lens. You can find lots of lenses, brand new or used, they are all in cheap prices. Most of Sony alpha compatible with Sigma, Tamron and Minolta lenses. Therefore, if you can't afford to buy Sony G or Carl Zeiss lens you can go for Sigma lens and so on. As i can see, it is much easier to find 2nd hand or used lens for Sony than Canon in Malaysia. (Different case if you'r staying in Europe of course Canon is very much popular) In addition, lenses for Sony are much cheaper than others because Sony alpha cameras are designed with built-in image stabilizer which means you don't have to buy lenses with image stabilizer where the prices are much more costly.

In general, you can say that Sony alpha is a "budget DSLR" with high quality of images and functions. It has everything you can expect from a DSLR. After all, it your skills and creativity that is more important.

Uniten team Sarawak Tour

Makan besar bersama kawan2 Sarawakian

Okay, basically it was a disaster but totally it was fun. Tak faham? hehe okay, the first disaster waktu nak check-in kat LCCT, aku bersama group ni boleh la bantai makan KFC smpi 9.05 am, sedangkan departure time kul 9.45am. Tak tau lak yg kaunter close 45mins before departure. Ape yg terjadi? Lepas makan tu tgk kat sign board counter closed. Haha semua lintang pukang lari. Sampai kat kaunter officer tu ckp kaunter closed already. Memandangkan die tgk kitorg ramai diepun tolong la check-in kan. Nasib baik sempat.. :) Awal betul die tutup kaunter padahal domestic flight je,aku masih igt wktu kat Glasgow nak balik ke Notts, aku 1/2 jam from departure time baru reach airport, tapi masih sempat je. Siap tunggu dlm 10min lg kat gate. Unfortunately, Saiful didnt make it. Die kene tinggal flight dan terpakse beli tiket kul 12.30. Kesian beliau :)

Okay, bila sampai Kuching Wui Jern fetch kitorg bersama dua hot chicks...ehem..ehem..dua hot chicks tu pulak jd tour guide kitorg..makin menarik la trip ke Sarawak ni. Mula-mula nak stay kat hotel but then ade orang offer kitorang stay kat Semi-D dgn harga RM150 satu malam (Ditanggung beres oleh Uniten).

Waktu malam plak kitorang start match Uniten vs Swinburne Uni..keputusan Uniten menang 3-2. Disebabkan aku demam,aku berkeputusan untuk tidak bermain pd malam tu tp bila double yg menggantikan aku tu kalah aku pun terpaksa la main sebagai 2nd double sbb kalau kalah lg overall Uniten kalah ler. Malang gile dengan keadaan demam aku bermain, walaupun menang tp lepas match terus terbaring kat tepi. Suddenly suhu badan naik mendadak. Wuuu kesian aku..waktu tu betul-betul rase nak balik sini, siap dah bincang dgn captain lagi. Lepas jumpa doctor, die bagi injection eso0k paginye rase semakin pulih. Tapi the next game aku tak main sbb risau kejadian semalam berulang semula. But still Uniten menang 3-2 keatas Kenyalang Club.

The next day kitorang bercuti kat Damai Beach (kalau tak silap wktu aku darjah 4 penah pegi cni) Kitorg melawat Cultural village dan sebagainya.
In conclusion, Sarawak mmg best :) Nice one!

21 guns

Do you know what's worth fighting for,

When it's not worth dying for?
Does it take your breath away
And you feel yourself suffocating?
Does the pain weigh out the pride?
And you look for a place to hide?
Did someone break your heart inside?
You're in ruins

One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky,
You and I

When you're at the end of the road
And you lost all sense of control
And your thoughts have taken their toll
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul
Your faith walks on broken glass
And the hangover doesn't pass
Nothing's ever built to last
You're in ruins

One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky,
You and I

Did you try to live on your own
When you burned down the house and home?
Did you stand too close to the fire?
Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone

When it's time to live and let die
And you can't get another try
Something inside this heart has died
You're in ruins

One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky

One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky,
You and I

Chase coy -Take me away

4th sem

Pejam celik dah masuk sem ke-4. Ada khabar angin mengatakan budak-budak rumah aku semua nak berubah, kononnye dah tak nak main game & nak mula belajar dari awal. Boleh percaye ke ni? Hurm.. Tan aku percaya memang takkan berubah lah. Dia awal-awal dah cakap sem ni jadual tak pack sebab tu kene main game unlike sem-sem lepas yg pack gile. Dia ape peduli, wlupun main game 24 jam tapi pointer tetap 3.4++. How bout Ezad, Azri & Jen? And how about me? Aku berhasrat nak beli net-book dgn niat takde lah aku ber'counter strike' lagi lepas ni. Boleh percaye ke? Silap-silap aku duk pinjam desktop Azri melayan FIFA lagi-lagi Azri dah jadi room mate aku sem ni. haha WEH! FIFA 2010 tak lama lagi nak kuar!!

Setelah dikenal pasti killer subject aku sem ni ialah Structure Analysis. Waa ngeri!
Dah la lecturer kitorang Mr Sivakumar aka Yamang yg kalau boleh tak nak sesiapa dapat A dlm kelas dia. Percaye tak percaye quiz die waktu sem 2 dulu lebih susah daripada soalan final. Tapi sebenarnya dia bagus, sentiasa mengingatkan students supaya refresh semula knowledge dalam subject Statics & Mechanics Materials supaya tak merangkak dalam Structure Analysis. Satu lagi subject yg aku takut ialah Enviromental. Subject ni mesti byk nak kene hafal, aku paling benci bab-bab menghafal ni. Aku lebih rela membuat calculation sepanjang 2-3 muka surat dpd menghafal terma-terma yang sememangnya panjang lebar dan biasenye aku tak faham pun ape yg aku hafal. Hahaha Maka aku nak menggunakan strategi sem lepas iaitu membodek lecturer! yeah! Jiayou!

Penat-penat..

Only 2 days left and then i'm going back to Malaysia. My flight is on Saturday, 6.10 pm. Time flies, its nearly 3 months already. I love UK, but i love Malaysia more. That's where i belong. I'm looking forward to see my mother and friends. Breakfast at mamak, milo panas and nasi lemak. Badminton training at Serdang, battling Fifa with housemates, wake up at 8 for classes, arguing with Tan over little things, football in the evening, go to sate kajang at 2 in the morning, lunch at upten, sleeping together with friends in the living room, pasar malam on Sunday, doing revision with classmates, conteng meja during classes, movie and karaoke on weekend. I miss these things. Yup, surely i'm gonna miss Nottingham especially Aisyah & Imran. I love them and i know they love me too. University will be opened on Monday, shit! i think i'ma need to rest for few days. I'm planning to skip the first week, minggu pertama aje maa,mane ade ape sangat. Paling-paling pun intro untuk course outline aje. Oh shit! I forgot! tak beli souvenirs tuk Dr Rahayu, dia bagi aku A geology tu. haha nak rasuah die lagi ni, silap-silap dia amik aku masuk research team die. :p hehehe
Guys, wait for me. Balik ni kite meronggeng..
