As a Malaysian, let me first congratulate Lee Chong Wei and Pandelela Rinong for their great performance to fly the Malaysian flag in the London 2012. One may think living in a host country for a Commonwealth Games (1998) is the pinnacle of any big sports event for oneself. And when I knew that I will not just be in London, but will also live in London for the Olympic London 2012, I was actually quite ecstatic to be part of it. Truth be told, I was one of the sceptics on the way the Olympic was being organised before the games start. To begin with, many of us still remember how good it was the opening ceremony in Beijing even it was more than 4 years ago (remember the kid singing and the flying torch bearer?:)). Besides being held using public transport on many occasions, the organiser (LOCOG) wasn’t helping by announcing that they have to draft in thousands of army personnel to fill up gaps left by the Security Company (G4S) days before the opening ceremony. Even at 8:59pm

It's a bit freaky but what a coincidence!!! And now, I can declare London 2012 to be ready ;)

This post has been updated on the following post; http://15dezember.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/the-one-with-macbook-air-macbook-pro.html Thanks. ====================================== Another community service :) I believe by now everyone has their hands and heads on the latest and greatest MacBook Air, MacBook Pro and the "Next Generation" MacBook Pro with Retina display. Yup... Very nice indeed (on paper at least). And planning to get one too ;) And while doing some research on the specs, naturally being a cina-pek (China man) I got to know this! MacBook Air (June 2012 Model) Macbook Pro (June 2012 Model) Conclusion... Depending on where you are or where are you are planning to travel to, the same MacBook Pro can be either 29% more expensive (in the UK) or cheaper by more than 4% (in Malaysia) compare to the prices in North America. This is based on the exchange rate on 15th June 2012. Full details on an Excel file at the link here... ( link ).

This is a community service ;) Recently, someone highlighted that their wonderful EOS 5D MKIII produces RAW images which appear to be soft and not as sharp as their previous EOS 5D MKII.  Why? For me to know, for you to find out :) However, I've been informed that by updating your DPP to the latest version, it will solve that issue.  Links to the site; 1) Europe - ( Link ) 2) USA - ( Link ) 3) Asia - ( Link ) Hope this helps. And wow... I have not been active in this blog for a long time. Let's start again soon!!

The M'sian govt has a choice to make #Bersih a "family" event and promote the country. But they chose to defy democracy, freedom of speech and call for unwarranted aggression and brutality. If "YOU" still sit back in your comfortable couch at home, or think those who walked miles and miles to Dataran Merdeka were idiots, braved themselves with almost a certain fact that they would be sprayed by laced water canons or tear gas, YOU are not wrong not to join us today. But I am almost certain your kids or your next generation will think otherwise, apart from the 1% of the elite UMNO putras. Today we didn't want to show that we dislike the current government. All we want is to be assured that we being M'sian are able to choose our own government! I am sorry that I can't be in Malaysia to walk with you. But I am certain that when I walked and chanted quietly in London for the same thing you have done in Dataran Merdeka, I am not alone. We are not alon
