Digital SLR Fair @ Pudu Plaza

Again (third time), my work this week clashes with what I've planned earlier... to join Astro Talent Quest audiction. Maybe it tries to tell me to give up? As most of my friends bet that I would be disqualify once I open my throat. Ok fine I don't care! In the end I still didn't go okay?

For this week, I was place at Pudu Plaza to hold up a D-SLR fair, which by its name suggests, only professional cameras would be sold. This yearly event, organised by Nikon, with the purpose to attract more market shares as well as giving chances for those who are not as fortunate as me to try out those "Canons".

Did you hold this before? Got 5KG I guess.

Usually, this two days event at which all the "legs" of photgraphy would gather together to share their unique techniques as well as their masterpieces. Besides that, there were also this photography talk and models shooting session organised by a group of Nikon users, whom they called themselve as Nikonian.

There were many things surprised me at this fair.

Firstly, the booth was darn big and we had only seven people to take care of it.

Our booth

Secondly, the sales for the first day is ONE unit!

ONLY!

Things that I do when there's no sales

Of course la! Professional camera fair, most of them also possess their own unit already!

Believe me, most of all these "professional" legs, were here with the purpose of model shootings only, whom I need to thank for contributing so much to my bad sales on first day.

Thanks dude!

*For entertainment purpose only

There were so many "legs" attended the talk by one of the famous photographers in Malaysia, Billion something something jor. Can't recall lar!

As I've mentioned earlier, most of them were here to snap those gorgeous models who have pretty nice figure. Don't believe me?

They occupied our booth and we had to "evade" them... What the hell...

Some uncles even took out their "SLR" (handphone), and take them desperately

Nice view huh?

"Wahhh all hamsap kia!!"

No no no never say that! (Although some of them really are) Pretty things are meant to be snapped, this is the nature of photography. What more these girls are so sexy? ;)

Models on first day : Natasha, Jin Li, Ashley, Sabrina

Models on second day.

Being a camera freak (It's my hobby okay?), of course I won't miss out this opportunity trying the D-SLR in practical. I grabbed a camera, D3 with a 17-55mm nano crystal lens, this camera not really that "expensive" , approximately RM20k only, and fired my camera at those models.

Shhh.... Bu neng suo de mi mi... by Jay Chao

Ashley and Natasha

Natasha again, and Jin Li

Nice or not? I mean the picture taken okay?

She looks so fear... I'm scare

I don't know what do you all think about it but... Personally, I find that all the pictures taken by me are just so... NICE~

All pictures are proudly presented by.... ME!

Don't ask me introduce them to you (you know who you are!)! I also don't know them well, just got email address. I'm not going to disclose even if you request due to P&C, I have to respect them okay? I'm not an unethical person also! Unless... You know what? I love old-town's nasi lemak! ;)

Her smile is so sweet

Her name is Natasha, fall in love with her already hehe. She has a very sweet smile indeed. My favourite model among all.

There ends my 2 days work again. Tiring but happy as I got the chance to use the camera in practical. A lot of techniques are also taught to me by those pros. If any of you are reading this, thank you so much. :)

Okay I have enough said for that. Before I sleep...

Hey you... Yes you! Look here please?

Got you! ;)

Succeed By 25? Possible?

I've been telling people out there that succeed by 25 is my target for the time being. I do consult a lot of professionals and finance counsellors and received a lot of feedbacks, good or bad. However, 80% of the feedbacks are "Can you?"; "Nah you gonna be kidding me..."; "It's very difficult...." and so on.

Despite what they say, succeed by 25 is still the goal I want to achieve for the moment.

Ask me to define "Success"? According to my friendster profile, it does like:


Maybe at this moment you would have the thought "kok fai kok fai, don't set something which is too high/unachievable as your aim." I don't blame you, because since I've stepped into my 19th years, I've been in doubt whethere I manage to hit it or not. However, the strategy on how to hit my goal always linger around my mind.

Try to calculate, I am in my late 20th this year (before 14/10), and I'll be completed my degree course in year 2010, which I'll be 22-year-old by that time. The question rises...

AM I ABLE TO ACHIEVE SOMETHING IN JUST THREE YEARS TIME?

Honest speaking, I DOUBT! I have TOTALLY no idea how am I gonna start since there's no capital for me to start a business. However, that doesn't mean I will give up. All the while profit making business plans have been going through my mind. Which I think could be profitable.

If you do not know about this fact, college/university students nowadays, can already start working as an adult. For instance, I have so much free time to work as a part timer but I think that doesn't help in long term. AND I'm telling you I DO HAVE A BUSINESS BRAIN!

But....

NO CAPITAL... HOW?

This are the things that I have to consider... Sigh~

DOes anyone want to hire me?~

He's 21!

This is the third time we are celebrating his birthday. A handsome who's good in foos ball and godlike in dota. Don't you ever try to challenge or tar gao (fight) with him as his colorful hair scared most of the tutors in TBS.

The celebration this year was a bit quiet as Seng hong is not here to zat him. Somehow, on last friday, I managed to call Jaan wang, Yung yee, and Oja to celebrate for Wei hoe. Before we start our celebration, we had a 5 vs 5 basketball match at Bukit Segar's newly built basketball court.

Out of our surprise, we were beaten by some secondary school kids... What a shame. According to Wang, it was because of our stamina since we haven't been playing basketball for a long time. However, I think that it was because of Yung yee's fatness. Out of ten 3-point-shot, he scored a Malaysian Book Record of 10 air ball. Cool huh? (in facts those are balls were shot during our fun time, but still, i want to "zat" yy... no care lor....) p.S . yy no offence plz :P

The weather turned darker and darker as we decided to proceed to Kaki's Corner to have dinner. Sorry la I wasn't manage to take photo as my phone was running out of battery. So here's last year's pic of Wei Hoe's celebration at Genting.

His favourite cake - Tiramisu

Here's a little tips for you. Next time if you happen to visit Kaki's Corner and if you happen to order Escargot, do check whether there's meat inside the shell coz the one I ordered came with 6 shells but only 5 with content! So what I did was CALLED THE WAITER TO COMPLAIN, and they actually replaced a new one for us (we already ate 4 escargot). So wonderful la they all!

We ended up eating 18 escargot with only one dozen's price --> RM18! Cool leh? But please la, I'm not teaching you to scam! =x

Once again...

HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY WEI HOE!

Most Wonderful People In This World

If you never knew what D-SLR cameras are, there you go.

Total = 34k, yet some customer can say "Very cheap only mah!"

Believe it or not? There are people who still buy it even though they do now know how to use it. I really gained a lot by looking at how these rich people spending pattern is...

Still remember while i was working at KLCC sometime back, there was this malay uncle, who came and pointed at one of the D-SLR camera (which costs RM4,700), saying that he wants to buy 7 units of it. (7 x 4,700 = RM32,900)

Uncle : Ini.... Bagi saya 7 units.

Me : Tujuh??!! (surprised)

Uncle : Ya, saya bayar cash.

And then he showed me a pile of Rm50 in his leather bag. I was stunned. I've never saw so much money before, and I've never met people who buys so many units of D-SLR cameras at one shot. So I asked him...

Me : Encik, you beli begitu banyak buat apa?

Uncle : Oh, anak saya baru masuk sekolah rendah, dan saya sudah jadi ahli persatuan ibu bapa. Dah janji mereka akan derma beberapa buah camera kepada sekolah.

Me : .........................

Please la uncle, if you have no where to spend your money I would suggest you donating them to those who are needed, rather than buying cameras which not many people know how to use it! The story did not end here, so while preparing the stocks for him, I started another conversation with him.

Me : Wa Encik, you punya jam tangan sangat cantik wo!

Uncle : Oh, ini ke? Seluruh dunia hanya ada 400 buah sahaja! Dan nombor saya ialah 111, ikir pada belakang! (he said it proudly)

Dued to curiosity, I asked him.

Me : Jadi ini cost you berapa ah?

Uncle : Oh... murah SAHAJA ma.... Rm15k SAHAJA (he stressed on this word again)

Me : ........................

Yet another speechless conversation.

How wonderful these people are :)

My Weekend

At last, 3 days of working life in MATTA Fair is over. Pretty tired though. Really have no time for my studies lol... Think gonna start managing my daily timetable since my timetable for this semester sux.

My booth

An idiot tried to act cute in front of the camera

Ever since the new agent took over Nikon, I thought it would be fine. Who knows the new so called "leader", lan si to the max. He's been dead against me all the while and I have no idea why he wanna do that. Just know that my working life is so pressured now. But what to do? You have to bear the unreasonable scolds if you're a wage taker. Sigh!~

Back to the results of MATTA Fair, the sales was not bad, we've sold a total of 200++ units cameras in three days. As a reward, Nikon Malaysia is giving all promoters a treat to Jogoya Buffet at Starhill. Song dou! =D I'm looking forward it since I've never been there before haha.

Looking forward to eat =D

This morning saw something which was really weird while having breakfast with Wong Hon at Tmn Yulek....

How the hell did they park like that?

He's Good

Ever since I started playing guitar, I've been thinking of sing while playing, I guess that would kill many girls out there...

However I know that I have a suck voice when comes to singing... Too bad. Check this guy out if you have the free time. He might be the winner of Malaysian Idol one day. Who knows? :)

Finally...

W sms-ed me today, asking me to collect the battery and back cover from him.

MY PHONE IS FINALLY IN ACTION!

Happy me hehe~!

The Worst After Sales Service I've Ever Met

It has been 3 months, 3 months... since my handphone is sent for repair. Finally, that guy (known as W hereinafter) rang me up yesterday, informing me that my phone is repaired and ready for collection. So I went to his stall located at Digital Mall in PJ after my class has ended.

When I was there, I gave him a call and he told me that he is not there, asking me to collect the phone from his colleague. Fine, found his colleague and got the phone, again, WITHOUT THE BACK COVER AND THE BATTERY inside.
______________________________________________________
P.S*
Prior to this, I've also sent my phone for repaired before this due to software problem, and I was being asked to go KL to collect the phone. Fine, I went to KL with Wong Hon and the phone was return to me WITHOUT THE BACK COVER AND BATTERY!!! That bugger told me it was with W, and I had to go all the way back to Digital Mall to collect from W. Tiu... you all think petrol is veli cheap meh?
______________________________________________________

So now, the phone is returned to me like last time. I called up W and gave him a tiu asking where the hell he put my things, he answered me saying that his collegue dunno put where already, say will let me know once he found out. Ok lor, fine lor, I returned home with my handicapped-phone.

On that night, I sms-ed W asking him whether can I collect on the next day, no reply. Today, I called W few times in the afternoon. He wasn't picking my calls. I guess you all should know what is going wrong here. Fine, since you're not picking up my call, I decided to go straight to Digital Mall, look for him. However, W was not there, left only his colleague, so I asked him POLITELY (I know I should use an angry tongue but I didn't) where the hell is W.


He called up W, and passed me the phone.

Me: Dude, where the hell it my cover and battery?
W: Er.... er.... I'm sorry, my colleague cannot find it...
Me: What? Cannot find it?! So how the hell am I gonna use my phone?
W: er... I will buy you back the cover and battery... give me 2 days.
Me: Dai lou, I've given you 3 months and you keep on disappointing me. There's a tolerance limit... I don't care, this is your last chance, I want those things by next monday. You better prepare it for me.
W: ok ok...

My tolerance has come to a limit. I tell myself, and hopefully by next monday I am able to get the cover and battery from him. Else, I will complain to the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission and see what they can do.

You all know what? I got scolded by my mum for this matter, saying that I shouldn't buy there, this and that... Please la! As if i know things would turn out like that... Sigh. Moody days.

Stupid Day...

Today is monday, woke up early in the morning planning to go for my 10am class. Ok, fine, departed at 9.10, should be reaching college at 9.40pm by routine. Who knows, once i passed the toll in Connaught Highway, it jammed like hell! It must have an accident at the front, I was thinking in my mind. I was right, after hearing the traffic report from radio. An accident had occured at the road nearby Nan Yang newspaper there. Which also indicates that it jammed all the way to my college. WtF! Looking at my watch, DAMN it's already 9.30am! Wihout much consideration I took the path into Desa Water Park, then from there turned out to Klang Lama, and headed to my college using NPE (New Pantai Express) Hihgway.
Finally, I arrived at my college. It's already 10.15am now. I thouhgt myself is really smart, knowing how to use some roads that are not jam to come here. I rushed to my classroom after parking my car at a very DAMN FAR place (It's really hard to get parking in subang). Mana tau... Once I'm at the classroom, NO ONE IS INSIDE! tiu... Then I read a notice which just sticked right infront on the door, saying "Tutor is on emergency leave today"....

You say tiu or not tiu?

I spent Rm1.60 for the toll, and RM2.50 for parking. Really stupid day... Now i'm typing this in my college to release my stress! Gotta get some books to read now. Ciaoz

Boring Place to Wotk At

As usual, I'm working on this weekend. I have been positioned in Pavilion again. Just sooooo boring. Can you imagine you're paid by just sitting there for a whole day? That's me. What? Good lah? Come try and you'll know!

Indeed, many investors thought that Pavilion is a nice place to venture with before its opening. However, not everything turns out to be perfect. Besides the round round bread, namely J.Co Donuts in pavilion, and maybe some restaurants, the rest of the shoplets there are making losses. There's just no crowd at certain levels, like first floor, the section which nearby KFC, and I'm being positioned to work there. So boring LAH!

Honest speaking, If it wasn't because of the high pay, I won't bother to work at places like here. You know? What a waste!

I'm back!

At last my holidays come to an end. It was indeed boring! I just miss studying so much... Anyway, look what I've brought back from Cameron! =) So sad that nothing has increased except for my weight... =\



Yeap! It's cherry tomatoes! If I've promised you to buy strawberry, sorry lah! My sister was not able to get strawberry from her friends. So this is what I've got. 5KG of CHERRY TOMATOES! (Equal the weight that I've gained here...) Each Kilogram costs me Rm15. Are you happy? Nope? Don't take then! By the way, it's very sweet. Must try!

Cherry cherry tomatoes~!

Beh tahan! xD

For those I've promised for the souvenir, (You better know who you are! and don't try to be fake! lol...) ajaklah me yumchar so that I can pass them to you. :) Time to sleepZ!

Tomatoes Farm

I believe many of you do not really know how a tomato farm would look like. Yeah for city people like us, it would be very rare for us to contact with agriculture. Even if you happen to visit Cameron, most farmers would not open their farm for visit as curious people like you and me will go and touch here touch there.

But no worry, since my brother in-law possesses a tomato farm, I've captured quite many shots to share with you all. =)

while on the way to the farm. going downhill like roller coaster! Chee kek!

the farm

wow...

Machine used to divide the tomatoes accordingly

seedlings of tomatoes plant

the harvest :)

Hey you! yes you! Mind to suck back your saliva?

cool isn't it?

While I was walking in the farm, something has caught my attention. A puppy adopted by one of the foreign workers here. The purpose of putting dogs in the farms is to use them as guard dog. However, this little puppy here is definitely gotta be fired if it go for interview in all the farms there.

it looks so "dog" while I try to snap its pic. So "dog"!

For those of you who don't know... My sister has four children! Listen! It's four children! I wonder how could she takes care all of them by herself alone. Damn admire her, as all my nephews and nieces are just so "active" (I don't use the word naughty lol). For example, they would use a stick to whack my head, ride on my back, and they even pull my pants and underwear down, just to wake me up! Aww gosh! Anyway, here's my youngest lovely niece. Xuan Xuan. =)

come say "hi" to all the people =D

She's so just so lovely!

Life here is quite boring though... My weight keeps on increasing eversince I come up here. Dude I really need some fats burning excercise when I'm back to KL! I promise myself! Ciaoz
