...that go boom in the night!
I shoot with these:
Sony Alpha A700
Sony Alpha A100 (my old, worn-out body with a "sticky" shutter release button :-P)
SAL DT 18-70, f/3.5-5.6 (the "kit" lens)
SAL 75-300, f/4.5-5.6 (the cheapest tele zoom)
Minolta AF 50 f/1.7 (2nd/3rd/4th/???-hand lens. Still good, though.)
Now, the all-important wishlist (so you know what to get for me on my birthday, heh)
1. Carl Zeiss 24-70, f/2.8 ZA SSM
No, these are not guns. No, those are not rifle scopes. No, I don't literally "shoot" things!

And now, for something completely different:
1. 1TB External HD :-) Copy, copy, copy, copy..
2. A700.
3. New lens?
And now, for something completely different:
1. Social Issues in Malaysia, and how to solve them.
Economic Stimulus Package, anyone?

GReader Spam: Round Two.
Ahem. The second round.
Let's start off with another photo of Kuching.
Sunset photos are addictive. Like Coca-Cola, or the Power Rangers, or Wonder Woman. Heh.
Evil Expanding Post of Evil
200% eviler shot of a building posted yesterday.
Caves are dark...
...and I don't have external flash. Wanna contribute? :D
In all honesty..
Anyone remember Para Para Sakura? This is the Pari-Pari Cave.
..which has absolutely no relation to the Para Para.
Green Stuff in Dark, Enclosed Spaces...
...is what some people are very good at breeding at home :)
Ever played The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion?
Well, this is the Fairy Cave, in HDR Rendering.
What happens to your eyes...

The (fully) grown post.
(Note: You can click on the photos for a larger version.)
First post ftw!
...waitaminute...
Kuching Waterfront, at night.
Expansion pack! One (1) new photo!
I know, I know, this temple could be anywhere.. But it's in Kuching, really!
Second Expansion Pack! WooHoo!
Kuching Riverfront, from the other side. Those of you who read the name of the photo file will probably wonder why I spelt biulding instead of building. Heh.
This is becoming like The Sims!
The Empire of The Man.
The Sims: You Are The Flesh
No really, YOU are teh flesh.
The Sims: Are You My Daddy?
RoarZ! (actually, more like *yawn*)
Calm Water + Blue Sky = Arsenic Poisoning
WARNING
LAKE WATER CONTAINS HIGH LEVEL OF ARSENIC, PUBLIC IS STRONGLY ADVISED NOT TO FISH, SWIM AND BATHE IN THE LAKE OR TO USE LAKE WATER FOR DRINKING AND OTHER PURPOSES.
Iron Man
I post this photo for one reason and one reason only.
The sign on the bottom-left reads:
"...In 1992, the street was closed to vehicular traffic and converted into a pedestrian mall."
Rays of Light.
Obligatory sunset shot. Not good. But it's the best I have. I lack skill. (Note to self: must go again!)
The Government. Teh gov't.
An imposing structure along the river. This is the Real Ultimate Power! (currently under construction)
Wonder if I'm spamming anyone's GReader..
Ahem. Sign reads: "Air Panas" (Very direct translation: Water Hot). *Puts hand in water*. *Awkward pause* ... Hot Water FAIL.
The Reason
You know, this is why some people go to Borneo.
Annah Rais. Longhouse. Bidayuh.
I wuz dere.
House of Skulls
Among the graffiti found on the walls of this house include: BABOK (love) NANAKOI, GENGHENG SIJOBOY, and ROSLI JANTAN
Flowers.
Insert stupid-lame comment here.
The Cutest, Sharpest, Snappiest, Spiniest, Coolest Fake Marching Porcupine Ever.
Really! (Ok, maybe not)
Need For Speed: Kuching
Cars travel at 50km/hr! One out of 1000 cars are modified! Loud, obnoxious, stupid techno music coming from random cars on the road is a rarity! Do you feel the Need for Speed?
Bau (Smell)
Dewan Suarah Bau: Hall Civic Smell (So much for direct literal translations)
The long and not-so-winding road.
Note the weird colours. Not my fault! It's the friggin' polarizer!
More Flowers. Just because.
Heh.

Irresponsible, F*cked-up, Malaysian...
CONTRACTORS.
Specifically, those Class-F ones who are usually tasked with repairing roads, changing light-bulbs, etc.
Why?
A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, there was a Class-F contractor simply known as Eff-U. Now, Eff-U's "expertise" was changing light-bulbs of street lamps along major roads. So, one day, he was given a contract to change light-bulbs along a major highway. As soon as the contract was signed, Eff-U sent his men out to complete the task. Little did he know what would happen that day...
You see, Eff-U, in all his wisdom and idiocy, did not tell his workers that they would be working at a busy highway, the kind where 40-foot trailers, cars and speed-o-bikes were known to travel at speeds exceeding 300km/hr. Nor did he even bother to purchase warning signs or the like. Relying instead, on his "past record" of successful light-bulb changes. The workers, upon arriving at the site, decided that it would be too much hard work to go back and pester their boss to buy sign boards. Besides, they've done things like this before. So they drew lots to decide who would "redirect" traffic using a simple red flag and striped plastic cones. Mind you, they weren't even equipped with power armour or whatever, just plain cloth armour.
I'll now leave the rest to your own imagination.
*Hint: lots of blood, gore, and body parts strewn all over the place.
The End.
In some ways, Malaysians are stupid. I think the "cari makan" mentality has made us a nation of idiots, infecting each one with the notion that putting food on the table is all that matters, regardless of how it is done. The "bosses" don't seem to care about the safety of their workers, nor do the workers seem to have any common sense at all. What matters, is money. As long as there's money, it's ok, it can be done.
"Aiyah, no money, no talk-mah! We vote BN because mau cali-makan-mah! If we don't vote, they don't give us anything, how? Don't be so stoopid. Why find tlouble? If you ale lich, then all oso boleh-mah! Malaysia Boleh-mah!"
...well, f*ck you!
Note: the above story was exaggerated to make a point. Just one simple point: place warning signs BEFORE any maintenance works, not AT. And no, the blood, gore and body parts are just your own imagination.

60,000,000,000.00.
That's alot of money. RM 60,000,000,000.00.
Wonder whose pockets the money will go to? (mine? I wish.)
Car rebates, housing loan rebates, road construction, road repairs, drain repairs, tax cuts for employers, blah, blah, blah.
Point: I think this is bloody unsustainable.
Why?
The RM 5,000.00 trade-in-your-ten-year-old-car (TIYTYOC) rebates are encouraging more people to BUY NEW CARS.
... :)
That sounded very obvious.
... :o
But think of it, people BUYING NEW CARS means higher petrol consumption and more pollution. It also discourages the use of public transportation.
... ... ... ... ... O_o
(The other part of me points out that the "mini-budget" doesn't even have any allocation for public transportation. So much for our petrol tax then..)
... -_-
Next, drain repairs. Wait, I thought we lacked drains. (flooding anyone? going once, going twice, sold to Kuala Lumpur! or was it Sarawak?)
... >_<
Tax relief on housing loans.
Observation + Opinion:
Giving out housing loan tax relief is of course, good for the first-time house-buyer human/person/alien/thing. However, people who buy houses for fun and profit should not be given the relief. It wasn't stated in the news report whether the relief would be given to 20-time house buyers or not, so I'll assume it would be. I'm just THAT negative.
I also think the housing market is saturated enough. What with Singaporeans buying up all the property (in JB)..

S.ilver
Like saliva, or sliver, or... PERAK!
Perak. Ah, the wonderful Malaysian state of LOLs, Lulz, ROFLs and LMAOs. (ROFLMAOLz?)
Latest in a series of political jokes, stand-ups and sitcoms.
Now there is even a TREE of democracy!!!
If trees were to vote, I say they'd vote us humies off the planet.
Wonder which states are next?
Ramblings...
On anything, everything and whatever!
Number 1: The Economy
Quote: "die -loh!"
Number 1: Politics
Quote: "die -loh!"
Number 1: Integrity of Malaysia in the eyes of the world
Quote: "die -loh!"
Number 2: This is a shirt
Number 2: This is my shirt
Number 2: This is not a shirt
Number 2: This is not a shirt, it's a completely random post which came out of nowhere.
Number 3: KTHXBAI

A-a-w.
Save The Words! I've adopted the word "succisive".
Succisive; of spare or extra time.
E.g. In my succisive hours, I Wii and WoW while avoiding WAR and WWE.
Today's usage of the word succisive:
I had much succisive time when I was at work today. The boss wasn't in the office. Neither was I.
Use the word succisive in your everyday life to SAVE it!
p/s. if the post above reads like crap, it probably is :) I have too much succisive time.
