My 1st Digital Camera
Here goes the story:
At the very beginning, I m searching for Panasonic as the function and the design is quite nice. The first model that I m looking for is Panasonic lumix Fx33 (image beside).
During the process of reviewing this camera, I founded another camera which got my attention. It is from Panasonic as well, Panasonic Lumix FX100 (Image beside). The thing that capture my attention is the design and the spec. I found this camera is publish on a magazine and it is being commented by professional photographer and at this point, i really would like to take a real look and test out this camera.
One afternoon, I go to town area and I thought this will be the best time to go and try out the camera. When I walk into law yat, there stand a booth for Panasonic camera... Lucky :P Without 2nd thought, I walk toward the booth and tried out the camera. Just when i decided to buy, the sales person told me that the camera (Fx100 : Black color) is sold out... :S only left is Gold and Silver color. I tried to search for the camera in each and every camera shop in the building, but all the answer I get is “We do not have Black Color in stock”
Then I decide to go for a movie only continue my search. So me and my friend went to Times Square. After we bought the movie ticket, there are still plenty of time so I decide to search at Times Square. But who knows, I just don’t have the luck... :(
Finally is time for movie (Enchanted). It is quite a good movie. Although my mood is not that good becos I can't search the camera that I m looking for, but the movie is still able to make me laugh. :P
After the movie, I continue my search at Sg. Wang, but still don’t have the luck and finally I gave up becos I have search for that camera in abt 15 shop for the whole afternoon but non have it in stock . So I went home and rest.
Just last week, I went out with my sister and brother-in-law. I bring them to a camera shop and test out that camera, and my brother-in-law said the camera is just okok only. As he is using Canon, he do a comparing on Panasonic and Canon. Conclusion is I am brain washed.. haha.. :P
So I do a survey all over again. The differences this time is that I do review on Canon's camera. Since I m searching for small and light weight camera (for the time being), powershot is out… So left only Ixus. I browse through a few Ixus module and this is a few model from Ixus that capture my attention. 950, 960 and 860.
Ixus 960 IS
Ixus 950 IS
Ixus 860 IS ( model that I bought.. ^.^ )
Just a few days ago, I went to Midvalley and I tried out all the model at the same time. :P Guess what. I choose IXUS 860 IS... :P
Finally i realize something which is really true in life "Missed something doesn't really mean something bad. When you missed something maybe it will cause another great thing to happen. When you missed something previously, you will learn to cherish it in the future..." :)
Expression Training
So the journey goes. 1st me and my colleagues take a bus from Cyber Jaya to Putra Central then from there we take another bus to 1Utama (1U). We reach 1U at approximately 7am. We wait at 1U bus stop for abt 1 hour and finally we decided to walk since we have a “map” provided by the training centre via its website. So since we have the so call “map” we decided to walk and we get to know that it is 10mins walk. Below will be the map:
Guess what, while walking to the place, the destination just seems unreachable. It seem to me that it need a life time to reach there as I am damn tire where I did not sleep for the whole nite + morning and I am damn hungry as well. So what wrong with the map, it is some sort like the compass use by Captain Jack Sparrow (Pirate of the Caribbean), a compass that does not point North. The thing is that at least the compass can point to the place where the person wanted to go the most but this map, is just a rubbish as it does not put the exact thing that we will be able to see a long the way. For example, along the way we should be able to see 2 traffic lights while going straight end up we have turned and walk abt 100m plus only we saw the 2nd traffic light.
That is not really serious as we manage to reach there also. The main important thing is during we are having the training. When we went in the room, we saw some note written on the whiteboard which say:
“Please open a folder call Expression or go to your C:\ and double click on a file call “Expression.vmc”. The program is a bit slow. We are sorry for any inconveniences cause. Thank you.”
So it is really slow but we did manage get the Virtual PC to open. So finally the training class started. It is very much disappointed. This training centre has a quite good surrounding but the instructor sucksssssss (not all the instructor as i did not met all of them :P).
What is so disappointed abt this instructor?
1. When giving a presentation for the training, the language that she used is Malay + English. Shouldn’t this be a formal class which only used English?) -_+
2. As an instructor, she don’t know what is the product under Microsoft Expression (She mention Microsoft send her for training on Microsoft Expression)
3. All the pc that we use did not being setup properly. 7 of us go for the training and only 1 ppl get to have a pc that is ok ( that is me.. lucky me :) )
4. End up, we spend almost the whole morning copying a file through network that is a large as 5.64GB.
5. After finish copying, in a few minute time it will be our lunch time. (Conclusion: Wasting my time did not learn anything also)
After we finished our lunch, we decided to go 1U instead of going back to the training center as the intructor is boring, no standard, and etc. Cause the training is a total failure and wasting my time. So we end up in 1U not attending the class anymore. . . Actually we decided to go back home to get some sleep but the rain is too heavy.
While we are at 1U, we decided to go for a movie and at the same time waiting for the rain to stop so we walk to GSC located at New Wing of 1U. Then we bought 6 ticket (Me, Seaw Wei, Chee Wei, Soo Beng, Suet Yi, Mr. Wong) for the movie The Golden Compass.
Guess what, we end up watching movie at 1U instead of having training... haha.. :P from my point of view, the movie (The Golden Compass) is quite nice but some say is quite boring. I only reach home around 7pm.. :S pity me... :'( (24 hours without sleeping).

Sleepless nite :S
Even though I will have to go to office at 3pm something (start work at 9.30pm) and I am so soooo tire, but I just don’t have the sleeping mood… when I m lying on my bed, my eye just can’t close. Even I force myself to close my eye, my brain will be wondering around... maybe this is the exhausted sign of working nite shift or I am getting used to Houston time… :P if I m getting used to Houston time, I should be telling myself I m in Malaysia, and the shift is almost ended… another 2 more weeksss… I should say another 1 more week… :D
Maybe I should try out some methodss for me to fall back into sleep nex time:
- Counting sheep? :P
- Do some exercise to make myself tire?
- Watch drama?
- Listen to music?
Will try all the above to see which really works... hahaha... :P

Tiring week… :S
Sometimes I even did not sleep for 1 days (24 hours) as there is some event going on when my work ended the next day and is very sleepy when reach home. Not even considering to have my meal before going to sleep. :S
Schedule for a days during nite shift..
Working --> Sleeping --> Eating --> Working
Why tire?
1. The bus (Rapid KL) is nvr punctual which mean there is no exact time that it will reach a bus stop. (Main Reason)
2. I have to change quite a lot of transport to reach HOME… :S
3. Not enough sleep (Sleep with a BIG, BRIGHT, ROUND SUN shining at ur asssss……)
4. Come to office early but reach HOME late..
5. Working in shift is a nightmare in the new building… :S (No AirCond, No Fan) the only place to get a cool air is the test lab (small room with few PC in it) and the room is quite far away from my desk… :’(
But luckily recently I added a friend and I found her blog quite interesting… :) that could reduce my boreness and awareness of the hot surrounding with hundred over pc running at the same time ( including mine.. :P )…
Such life will continue until end of this month. Most probably, I will have to stay in the office during Christmas. In another word, celebrate Christmas in the office… :S If i ever celebrate Christmas in the Office.. I will take photo and post it.. :)
