Prime lens = No zoom lens

A : Why yours cannot zoom wan?!!

Me : I’m using prime lens

A : Cannot zoom wan??!!

Me : This lens has fixed focal length. Hence, no zoom.

A : Har??!! No lousy wan. How come I see people can zoom like there’s no tomorrow?

Me : That’s different lens than what I have right now

A : ???

For god sake, please do understand that not all DSLRs have zoom lens attached to their bodies. There is this thing called prime lens!! (Click here for more info)

Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM

Bloody hell!! By the way they, non-DSLR users, try to twist/turn to get zooming effect, I bet my Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM gonna spoil soon. Sigh…

Tag? tagged?

Arrghh!!! I’ve been tagged by Renee.

1) I don’t support any football team.
Yes, you got it wrong all these while!! Though I watch football almost every weekend, and Machester United matches most of the time, I do not support the team. I just love to watch the way they play, their fast counter attacking and free flow scoring tactics. But I also like to watch Arsenal’s matches. Their one touch football as well as ball control makes me awe. BTW, I support BMW Sauber F1 team. Their ‘viking’ is hard to resist. :D

2) I hate clubs.
They are noisy and stuffy and smokey and packed with human beings. Urrgghh..

3) I wear long sighted glasses.

Hinge

Since at the age of 4 or 5 years old, I started wearing it. Yes. Long sighted!! I’m old (or wise) since young. :P

4) I got 3 pillows and a bolster.
Being big unit physically like me, it is quite challenging to sleep with ‘them’ on a single bed!!

5) I got only 1 formal suit.
Unlike Renee, I do not have a dress (thank god!!) but I got one suit in my closet. Bought it for my graduation and wore it once during wedding dinner (not my wedding la). That’s it.

No tag victims yet for now. :)

McGriddle from McDonalds

Ate this when I was in Singapore during Labour Day. It is a new product by McDonald’s in Singapore.

McGriddle

Chicken patty, cheese and egg banjo sandwiched together by 2 layers of syrup-soaked pancakes.

Looks delicious, eh.. It would be if not because of the syrup in the pancakes!! It is too sweet for a main course.

Ridiculous price increase

As you may have known, the price of noodles have increased not long ago. Noodles like wantan mee, yellow mee, normal mee and etc cost more per kilogram. However, I find it ridiculous for hawker stalls to increase their price of a bowl of noodles insanely. Now, I’m paying 50 cents more for a simple bowl of noodle in Kuala Lumpur. They are slitting our, the consumers, throats badly.

Come on, an increase of 50 cents per bowl is way too much. I don’t mind if they increase by 30 cents or so. They used to do that last year or so, but why couldn’t they do it again. 50 cents means alot to some of us!! If the hawkers are charging 50 cents more for each and every bowl, they are earning more, indirectly after covering their cost.

This is ridiculous!!

Microsoft Outlook not so smart after all…

For those who are using Nokia’s smartphones, the only programs that your mobilephone synchronize with are Microsoft Outlook or Windows Address Book. Now, I’m talking about those who are using Windows operating system. I’m not too sure about Mac users though. And I bet you are synchronizing your contact list, to do list and etc to the Microsoft Outlook instead of the Address Book..

However, I don’t really like the fact that Microsoft Outlook messes up my contact list. And ironically, I, for one, synchronize all my stuffs to Microsoft Outlook. Well, I’m sort of forced to use it or I’ll be in deep pile of shit near future.

For example of a contact name with two mobilephone numbers and two landline numbers. Upon synchronizing it, you could only view one of each categories in Microsoft Outlook. It is annoying because you will face problems in future when you want to synchro back to your phone, if let’s say your mobilephone reset back to factory settings. So, theoretically, you will lose a handful of contact numbers from a single contact name.

The only way to solve this problem, according to my mate, is that you have to put all those numbers in different categories. Sucky, ain’t it. And the worst thing I have heard is that this problem has been longing since the introduction of Symbian OS.

So, does anybody have a better solution??
