Panasonic Lumix Workshop

About a week ago Panasonic Malaysia organized a workshop for its Lumix camera users and it was through their Facebook Fan page where the event was publicized. Each participant is charged RM50 and with it comes a Panasonic eco-bag , a ultra slow Class 2 4GB Panasonic SDHC card, a RM20 Panasonic online voucher and a few tea breaks + lunch. Well, of course, someone to “teach” us how to take photographs better. I didn’t really find the “tutor” for this workshop useful as most of the stuff explained were pretty much basic stuff. Nevertheless, this was also another way for Panasonic to promote their micro four thirds camera range and also the lx-3. So, got my hands itchy and forked out RM50 for this. I went with Reng Kwan as only both of us have a Lumix camera.

We were taken to the Butterfly park to have our photoshooting session with the butterflies as well as the “other” butterflies which were the winners of the Panasonic Model search or whatever its called. ngek ngek ngek.. Managed to take photo with 2 out of 3 of them but the photos are not with me currently =( .

Click on the thumbnails to have a better look at the photos I took with my FZ-18. Although I was provided with the Panasonic GH-1 to shoot with, I wasn’t used to it and opted to use my old faithful most of the time =).

We were then treated for lunch at Bangsar Seafood Village.. well we paid for it already.

Ahh and yes that’s me with the GH-1 =)

Journey up to Broga Hill, Semenyih

Okay, Eunice calls this insane, but I call this adventurous.

Few days ago, Reng Kwan, Sie Khai , Phaik Joo , Eunice and I walked our way up to Broga Hill with the intention to catch a glimpse of the sunrise at the highest location in Semenyih. Getting there early was the thing. Semenyih isn’t anywhere near Sunway and we had to get up early at around 4am ( I know many have went there even earlier) and it took us almost 45mins to arrive at the base of the hill. It was right opposite the rabbit farm =). Here’s a copy from what Eunice wrote from her blog. I’m too lazy to explain. I shall post mine with a few pictures instead.

Since yltan reminded me to bring torchlight and mosquito repellent, so i juz brought a small size one in order to lessen my burden along the track…err in fact i didnt know why we needed to bring those stuff hahahaha juz felt tht yltan was thinking too much…as wht we’ve planned, we reached the area around 6am but we were indeed scared to go down from the car and started trekking cuz it was just DARK! imagine the palm trees are all over and u’re gonna walk into the jungle without anyone around…anyway we made an attempt to support each other by asking ourselves to be more DARING….there i know that i should really appreciate yltan’s kind reminder! we walked extremely FAST and strived to be the first and fear to lag behind which i didnt und why we did that…perhaps we were afraid of those ‘brothers’ therefore the camera men din even dare to take pic at tht hour! it was not a joke to hike to the highest point without a halt cuz we looked like those asthma teenagers at the peak…poor phaik joo wanted to vomit somemore…however we didnt manage to see the sunrise as it was pretty cloudy this morning.

As you can see, walking up in total darkness was cool especially when you are the only group going up! ngek ngek ngek.. Alright thats me closing my eyelids trying to avoid getting blinded by Sie Khai’s camera’s flash.

Petting Zoo @ Lost World Of Tambun, Ipoh.

Have lots of time in Ipoh and you have nothing better to do? Try visiting the Petting Zoo @ Lost World of Tambun and you could spend your whole day there. Recently there’s an addition to the water theme park which is the petting zoo. Well what is it? Its a place where you are able to get closer with the animals, let them see who you are and that’s pretty much it. Interacting with the animals.

The place is not bad overall, quite a variety of animals there. Rabbits, snakes, raccoons, fishes, monkey, iguanas, monitor lizards, sugar gliders ahh just to name a few.

What can you do there? Get strangled by a python!

What else? Watch some pornography. Raccoons mating =}

More photos? Click read more =) . Only a few though.

Flea Market @ Sunway Lagoon Club

Sie Khai saw a poster regarding the Flea Market that was to be organized at Sunway Lagoon Club last week on Vine(Sunway College Intranet site). He told me about it and I said okay let’s go. Reng Kwan tagged along. I thought it would be like the usual flea market where people auctioned off their old or unwanted stuff . The one here at Sunway was the other way round.

Cut-A-Thon @ Berjaya Times Square, KL

There was a Cut-A-Thon event organized at the Berjaya Times Square in KL today.
This was an attempt to break the Malaysia Book of Records for the Most Haircuts in a Day. Oh well, Sie Khai and I went over there supposedly to get our hair snipped for free by the Micheal & Guys Hair Saloon team but things did not turn out the way it was supposed to.

Sie Khai also wanted to get to LowYat Plaza to buy a replacement power adaptor for his HP Compaq notebook and a new Huawei HSDPA Modem for his newly subscribed Celcom Broadband D98 which costs a friggin’ RM98 per month.
