Coming soon?

Hello world ! :)

Things been moving pretty darn fast in March , my apologies for not being able to blog for so long.. I’ve been very busy with an event , here is some info about it. It’s called Earth Hour 2010 : Battle of the Bands @ Sunway Pyramid on the 27 of March , 6PM  till late.

Been dying to get a new compact , finally i might be able to get it soon after all. Was very very disappointed when i compared the Panasonic LX-3 vs Canon G11 , have been craving for a LX-3 though i have not used one but when i saw the IQ ( Image Quality ) on the thing i was dumbfounded ! How can something so nice , produce something so “ so-so “ Fiddle with it some more as i was in doubt myself. I had to draw a sad conclusion the LX-3 could not be saved even LX-2 was better way better !
