By the way, I’ve bought a DSLR around 2 months back (around mid of April). Just realize that I didn’t post it up. The DSLR that I’ve bought by my own with 12 months installment cost me around RM 2,770. (Expensive huh?)

The list below are the items:
1) The Canon EOS 400D kit. (EFS 18 - 55mm F/3.5 - 5.6)
2) Tamron lens. (AF 55 - 200mm F/4 - 5.6 LD Macro)
3) Raydawn 58mm UV Filter
4) Sandisk 2GB CF Ultra II Memory Card

You may ask me for photo shooting as well, but I can tell you that I’m still a beginner.

Yesterday I’ve bought a Yamaha F310 Acoustic Guitar.

The Yamaha F310 is an excellent quality instrument at a truly affordable price. Its dreadnought style body provides load acoustic tone with comfortable playability.

It’s time to learn a music instrument and this is influence by my colleague… =.=”

I have another reason of buying this guitar, do you know what is it?

OMG, today I’ve heard my brother said the petrol price will be increased from RM 1.92 to RM 2.70 from tonight onwards (4th June 2008). RM 1.92 to RM 2.70, total increased 40% for just a liter of petrol. I don’t want to compare with other country, but we are Malaysian, just compare within Malaysia will do.

Pak Lah is the one who announced for the price increase issue!!! That’s really terrible news for all of us. How can we afford for the petrol like that??? Can you afford it???? You can imagine that your currently full tank price as example RM 60, after price increased, you have to pay for RM 84 for the total.

Just now after working, I went for petrol before dinner. I’ve been waiting for a long queue for the petrol and very unfortunately, I didn’t bring my camera for the shoot. But I do believe this is a shocked news for everyone, and other people will surely blog about this.

Possibility for after 10 years, everyone will back to 60s or 70s. Everyone will take bicycle, or bike as their main transport because the petrol price will surely increased after 10 years. Now I’ve a plan to buy a bike for backup. Hope the bike price will not increase while the petrol price increase.

What do you think about this news?

My mom always cook different types of food at home. A lot of different taste even she cook the same food. That’s my mom!!! The food at home is much more delicious than outside, more healthy, more money to save. That’s why we choose to eat at home rather than eat at outside with dust.

This type of fish is normal fish that my mom always bought it…
Why is RM18?
Because my mom bought it a pack and it cost RM18.
I’m not sure what brand or what name of this fish, that’s why I put RM18.

This is one of my favourite’s vegetable.
My mom cook it and put some hehkia (small prawn) which I’ve bought from Japan.
This hehkia name in Japanese is called “Sakura Ebi 桜海老”.

This is RM 2 fried fillet.
My mom bought it a packet with around 4 big pieces of fillet.
One packet is like around RM 8.99.
I named it as RM2 because this is one portion of the packet.
You can buy it at Jusco there, very delicious fish than the RM18 one.

This chicken soup with corn, hehe…
First time see it?
Try it out and taste it, very nice taste!
I also the first time tasted it…

This is overall my dinner with white rice.
The corn and chicken soup is not in because still cooking…
Those foods are cooked by my mom!!! hehe… ^^

This is my dog, his name is Lessie. He have a lot of nicknames which called by my parents. His nicknames are ‘miao kia’, ‘letty’, ‘ah sy’ and etc… Can’t really remember what’s his nicknames are and usually is my parents call him those nick name and I don’t. I will just call his real name.

Lessie is very fierce in house but very coward at outside. Always bark people when people passed-by the corridor. Many people like this dog as he is cute type and very sorry that, I’m not very sure what’s is his type.

This is one of his pose, he likes to put his hand (aka leg) and lay down like that.

Time to sleep…. {Lessie: Don’t disturb me ya…} sleeping dog in the afternoon…

Another view of his sleepy face!!!

Omg… I make him awake!!! he bark be afterall… *Run*

Have you ever see a dog like grill pig? hahaha… More pics of Lessie will be up in the future… Just took a few for fun just now…

Today is Mother’s Day, Happy Mother’s Day! In the early morning, I went to the florist to purchase half dozen of Carnation for my lovely mom.

Normally, the original color for Carnation is in pink. This time to make it special, I’ve selected the purple color. It is beautiful!!!

Recently, the sea water high tight in the afternoon time and make the island looks like sea city soon. It is a bit scary when you look at the water level and the road level, both level are almost the same.

You can drive pass through the Bayan Baru to Bayan Lepas near the sea side, you will notice of it in the afternoon. Hope this is just a normal status afterall.

Lately, I’ve found out that most of my friends just graduated from their study in Degree, Master Degree and PHD courses… At around my age, some of them are still studying… Besides, my colleague is going to leave us at the end of May 08. His reason to leave us is go back to study to improve and strengthen his knowledge.

I myself also have the “go” back to study thinking… Currently I’m working as an engineer and everyone thought that whoever work as an engineer, their background is full of engineering knowledge. They are wrong at this stage, as I’m not the actual engineering student from my previous college. I’m the IT student who work as an mechanical engineer, totally different field of knowledge apply to the working environment.

The first issue is, if I want go to study, which course do I really want to choose? Master Degree on IT or Diploma of Engineering course or is there a possibility for me to directly take Degree of Engineering course. Those have to go and check it.

The second issue is, is the time allowing me to go back study? Currently my office hour is from 8:30am until 5:30pm. I work as usual from 8:00am but over 5:30pm, which means I always go back home late. The earliest time is 6:30pm; the most late time is the next day afternoon as my record. Another is I’m always traveling around in Penang, Melaka and Japan.

The third issue is studying fees, as I’m working now and also have some savings. For the said courses above, it might easily cost me more than $30,000 and above. About study fees, can think about loan as well, there is a student loan consolidation cash back from student loan dir. As I’m unable to cash out $30,000 easily from our bank or pocket, and there are not much in saving as well. The best way to choose is still get a loan for study.

The decision making is still under my consideration. What do you think about this?

Do you guys know about this rice? I’m not sure english is call what, but in Japanese is call Omurice, it is omelette + tomato rice + beef sauce. Very very the yummy!! ^^

Omelette rice is nice, at this moment, I still can’t find where in Penang selling this.
Omelette + tomato rice + beef sauce = Omelette Rice aka Omurice オムライス
