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...

When they were One: http://15dezember.blogspot.co.uk/2011/04/one-with-shuens-sopheas-first-candle.html  It does seems like not long ago when I blogged about their first candle. Maybe their parents might disagree that it’s fast ;) but I’m sure it’s nothing less than extraordinary bringing these beautiful kids up. To Sophea (Yi Yi) & Shuen, Happy Birthday again from both Uncle Wong and Auntie Tan ;) Hope you like those books and stickers… and the pictures… And when the 2 turns TWO. Maybe by the time you understand what I’ve written here about you guys (if this blog is still around) it might sound abit outdated and “old fashioned”… But remember, the hardship and dedication of your parents in bringing you up when you can’t even understand the word “SIT”!!! J Gosh.. have to stop sounding like an old Pakcik… And probably in my next post, I’ll start talking like…”Sapp?? Bass!! Or Brahh…” Stay tune…

Frankly, I am sick and tired of all these celebrities found dead under the influence of drugs and alcohol and bla la bla… Social convention dictates that we should be sad and sympathetic  when someone die. But for Michael Jackson, Amy Winehouse and Whitney Houston, I really want to be MAD instead of SAD! They have all the money in the World to enjoy, and to cure themselves out of all these shit. They have all the support of their friends and families (even the President and PM) to make sure they can go through their “worst” days.. They have the whole World of fans to cheer them where ever they go and should not have many lonely nights. AND YET, they chose to fuck themselves up with alcohol and drugs . Some say, it’s the loneliness of being rich and famous. Some say, Whitney’s husband is at fault. Excuse me… Look at Joan Collins. She’s rich and famous. She has husband problem (4 divorces!). And after their death, friends and fans claimed that they are ...

I know... It takes longer than expected to post these pictures. But as Alex said, as we grew older getting over jet lag is even more difficult :)))) And of course, I've to travel to this...  "Man Lin Kar Yau!" (in Cantonese:) -  Even MU knows it's CNY 2012... After 4 x 5 = 20 rounds of 4 mins elevator lectures/pitches ;) Alrite, back to the Dragon year. We started our long delayed journey back home and literally, it took me 23 hours door to door before I manage to smell my bed. But at least this small fellar is not too troublesome on board... Oh boy... At least for me, for the first time I was told that the "animal" for the lunar year doesn't necessarily starts on the first day of the Lunar New Year. It starts on a day we call "lap chuon" :) And it's on the 4th Feb 2012 this year! Anyway, met up with more wonderful relatives and greatest friends during my visit. And if it's not my Powershot G9 giving up on me, I am s...

Alrite... It's 2012 (already) and so far, no disaster yet :) Ooppss... Too negative. Let's start again. It's 2012... and what a wonderful start of the year, so far!  Let's skip all the shopping stories and go straight to what I've (I think) achieved so far... Yup, we are just at page 15 out of 366 and I have... 1) Bought a turtle neck shirt ;) 2) Clean up my voice 3) Started running (yay) 4) Got a new job!  5) Expressed my love ;))) 6) Eat more Veg 7) Got another Casio 8) Upload at least 1 pic a day (I gave up after a few days in 2011 :() 9) And.... this! Yup... While many are complaining about the Winter cold, for many photographers we do not have to wake up so early for the golden hour of the day ;) Passed by Lambeth Bridge numerous time telling myself, one day I must wake up early to snap these view. AND I DID! (yay!) 2012 has just begun, and I am not going to make it, "just another year..." Shall we...
