Maybank Malaysian Open 2010

Hello, today me and my dad went to the Maybank Malaysian Open @ KLGCC which was very near my house. He got 4 VIP tix and all his friend were lazy to go so me and him went only , bloody useless club the service was hopeless we parked outside and walked all the way into the main entrance then only there was a shuttle buggy up to the 1st hole , Saujana club was so much better !

Back to the point , the only gear i brought there was my 40D + 100-400L nothing else kinda regretted not bringing my other lens could have took nice scenery shots :) Here is what i got from lying under the sun for hours , got a freaking sunburn all over me now ! =.=  

* before i begin , sorry but I have no idea all the players names xD

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 !

Road Trip

Hey there peeps !

Yesterday my friends and I were suppose to go over my friend’s place to gamble but ended up only a few people went so we decided to go KL ! Since Weng Hou wanted to get his Cascada’s album that he’s been dying for ! He prays to Cascada as if she’s a goddess i tell you =.= Justin drove me , baby , and weng hou to Pavilion. Was hungry cause i didn’t have lunch nor breakfast.. Ate the delicious Roast Duck Rice @ Food Junction in Pavilion, didn’t bother taking out my camera : D

Walked around went into Gucci and some expensive shops that makes me wanna get the stuff even if it’s so expensive xD Saw an awesome Gucci belt.. so tempted now.. RM880 for a belt ?! HAIH ! Wanted to go for Kenko Fish Spa but ended up not going for it , walked to KLCC which was like 3 minutes away.

Since it was nearly 6-ish decided to have dinner @ California Pizza Kitchen ( CPK ) the food there never changed and the ambience is still the same old calming thing. Waiter showed us to the table overlooking the KLCC Fountain walked out to the smoking area to take a few shots of the place , been a long time since i took pictures so excuse the boring angles or lighting.

 

    

Food was served ordered 2 Pizzas and shared a Fettuccini Cabonara with baby , the pizza was really superb we ordered the most famous one which is The Original BBQ Chicken and Shrimp “ something “. Indulge in our food till we were about to explode =.=   

   

Went to Crumpler to get a Thirsty Al XL pouch for my bags , baby ended up buying for me since i wanted it so badly , Love you baby ! Then our Cascada freak went to Rock Corner and got the latest album. Went back to Pavilion , got the shock of my life when the parking ticket summed up to RM15 ! KNN ! And i had to pay it all =.= after that we lost the car, forgot what floor we parked on so kept hunting high and low until we exceeded the time limit of 15 minutes was so scared i had to pay another RM15, luckily pay RM3 only.. *relief*     

Went back to TTDI , picked Zhen Chi up went to Al-Safa while Justin and “ChiChi” shis ha the 3 of us stoned and talked. That’s how we ended the day : D

Oooh and I got a doodoll from baby xD It’s Blinky !
