Mask
My mask for Masquerade-theme company’s dinner;
Now, I’m having headache on what to wear for that night..
New toy
Over the weekend (before Christmas), my hands itched for something to play. Add on this, I’m starting to pick up photography as my past time thingy.
Hence, I got this;
I’m very satisfied with my spending because it produces great pics for its price tag (RM 1,320) as I couldn’t afford Canon EF 50mm f/1.2 L. Well, what can I say, the build is there (better than my useless Canon EF-S 18-55mm IS) and most importantly, the f is 1.4 which I craved for as I mostly take portraits and food pictures in low light conditions. It has USM (Ultrasonic Motor) in it and hence, the autofocus is pretty fast and very silently. Besides, it produces excellent bokeh (blurred background) shots.
I shall let the pictures speak for itself;
Updated with more pictures;
You might wonder, where the heck are portrait shots? Well, I did spam alot (of portrait shots) during Christmas Eve party, but I’m not a fan of showing pictures of my family. So, I apologize for that in advance.
By comparison, it works well when f is at 2.8 and above for portrait shots as the DOF is pretty shallow for f below that value.
Looks like this lens is gonna be on my Canon EOS 40D body for a very very very long time (maybe permanent :P ). I’ll keep my kit as my spare lens.
note to self : stop spending so much for year 2008…!!
Prosperity is back!!
Prosperity Burger is back. Go grab it at your nearest McDonald’s outlet now. Too bad, they are offering Prosperity Green Tea now instead of the Orange McFizz (?)
p.s.: i) I’m not sponsored by McD to do this and ii) only selected outlets available :)

How’s your Christmas day? Where did you go? What did you do? And most important thing, did you enjoy yourself?
As for myself, I had a boring Christmas but I had a pretty fun Christmas Eve because I ’spammed’ (in other words, took) 400++ pics with my DSLR camera during my uncle’s party. 400+ pics under 3 hours is a new record for me, at the very least. To top my boring day, I went for a haircut.. ‘Botak’ style. IT’s been decades since my last ‘Botak’ style.My family (including my aunt and grandma) got shocked and laughed off at the same time when I told them the idea. So, I got to prove it..
Anyway, my post is about the picture below..
Looks familiar? DSLR camera users should know what it is. Yeap, you got it right.. It is my cup coaster in the office. Say tata to traditional coaster (paper/cd/tiles) :P
p.s.: It is UV Filter for camera lens
Merry Christmas
