to all my family, relatives, friends, associates and fellow bloggers, selamat hari raya.

be safe, be good.

Mikhail's Pre-School Concert

last sunday was mikhail's pre-school concert. it was at pj civic centre, one big hall with lousy sound system and poor lighting. but that did not hamper the kids spirit and in fact their energetic performances made the day.

i took this photo at about 50 metes away, using nikkor af f3.5/4 70-210mm lens at f6 210mm. with 1.5 crop factor, that makes it 315mm. a bit blurry as shot at low speed. could have been better with a better lens but poor moi cant afford one yet.

so if anyone out there can buy me a good telephoto lens, please please please. i am liking a tamron 90mm f2.8 di 1:1 macro, tamron 300mm f2.8 ld (if) and tamron 200-500mm f5/6.3 di dl (if) zoom lenses.

View from The Sky

today on the frontpage the picture of the pm sending off the smart team, to help provide rescue and relief work at the earthquake devastated pakistan. question! why so late? other countries like japan sent their rescue team on the day itself. why cant we do the same? distance wise, i think we are closer. the first 24 hours is critical to rescue any surviving trapped victims. after that, the survival rate drops. it seems our smart team response time still leaves much room for improvement.

went to the skybridge on oct 2. located at the 42nd floor of the twin towers, the bridge is "suspended" between the two towers to allow for motion of the towers.

together with the family was a group of 45 people from sekolah tunku ampuan durah seremban. later they went to petrosains. as i did not join, no photos la.

i would like to take this opportunity to share with you these delicious Berbuka Puasa juadah from cozy house restaurant, 3f great eastern mall. enjoy...
