Wrong timing...

Didnt sleep last nite... afraid i couldnt wake up for the early flight which i thought is 0710 in the morning. now that i am here updating this blog in KLIA after checked in. Saw the boarding pass it is 0910 in the morning! What was i thinking... which part of the ticket that i missed? was it the blarddy email that sent to me with wrong information?

Checked the blardy email and yeap... i was wrong... damned wrong, how could i possibly mistaken the 0910 with 0710... silly me... tired... sleepy and tired and sleepy... first time i ever got the wrong timing for my flight.

i just dont like early flight... i cant sleep the nite before flying... f87K... what am i going to do now? laptop battery cannot last me for 2 hours... damned... its going to be a tiring and sleepy first day support schedule to Jakarta...

Gonna go for my breakfast... Big Breakfast. And wait... wait... wait... its only 6am now... f617king early.

ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Canon EOS40D... tempted...

 

Was walking at one Electronics/Computer/Gadgets shop just now and came accross the digital SLR section... really different from one in KL. Whats the different? well, in KL you can see all these cameras are being display in the glass shelf, locked and unreachable. if you want to test it, you have to ask the salesperson to hand you the said DSLR... and after you tested it, feel it in your hand, take a few shots, pretend that you know something about the camera settings and all... you said thank you, you will consider about it... the salesperson face will change from :) to :(...

but here in Japan, it is being displayed on a tripod... on the table with some colourful stuff where you can test the camera in macro mode, normal mode or tele-zoom. from nikon, canon, lumix, sony, olympus... nobody care what you do with the camera because it is secured with a anti-theft cable, which is long enough for you to hold it, raise it to look through the viewfinder comfortably.

so, saw the Canon EOS 40D with a tele-photo lens... 80-200 2.8... its it feels like you are holding a bazooka when you hold it. grabbed it and test the camera. i was like... damn... how come my D70s shutter is not as quick as this one... took a few photos and the feels is really good... hmm... i think its exaggerated when i describeb it as bazooka, it should be like M16... cos i tested the continous mode... really impressive... also tried to be paparazi la... shoot few Japanese lenglui from far... ;)

tempted to sell my D70s and buy the EOS40D... but... hai... kalau saya ada machine print duit boleh la beli, no need to sell my camera also... some more just finish my payment for the camera after shooting for malay weddings last time, now no time to shoot photo, where got extra money... better save the money to buy another lens that can make me feel i am holding a bazooka though it cant be like m16 cos the shutter speed for D70s is not as fast as EOS40D... so you cant hear the fast "ktak ktak ktak" sound... hmm... my birthday wish is the Nikkor 80-200 2.8.... so, if you guys still thinking of what to get me for my birthday, save the time (and the money) ... hehehehe... i dont mind if you guys or anyone out there wanna hadiahkan ini lensa... betul dont mind... secondhand punya pun ok...

hmm... just feel like posting this notes la... cos other wise i will keep on thinking about the Canon... those of you who have no idea what i am mumbling about, nvm la, go to the nearest Camera shop in KL and test both the camera... though you might risk the :( face from the salesperson...

now going to sleep and dream about the bazooka and the m16...

Bus No. 52

Last sunday, the only free time i have since i was here last monday to go out and get something for myself and my darling.

The place i stay this time is not convinient to go around. It is not near BTS station, there is no entertainment here, and there is not even place to have beer... here is Chang Wattana... okok, maybe i exagerate little bit. there is some place for beer and entertainment but only Japanese will go because its too expensive...

So, saturday nite after work, get my camera batteries charged up and planned to got up early and go to few places to snap photos. wanted to go to the Grand Palace again... 0200, slept.

Come sunday morning... i thought its sunday morning but when i looked at my watch, its... its... DaMN, 2pm... means its 1pm Thailand time. Get ready... changed, was thinking to wear shoe or sandals... chose sandals, easy... ;)

So, walked out the apartment, about the apartment, its like haunted, u cant see anyone day or nite, the swimming pool never need cleaning cause there is no one using it according to my colleague who stay there for months.

saw the Motorcycle Taxi, wanted to ask them if they willing to go to Mochit BTS Station or not. But language is a big issue here, they Mai Kau Chai what i say, so i also Kau Chai Kau Chai and walked away la.

Take a Taxi, 110 THB to the Mochit BTS Station, with my camera on ready mode, start my journey to the planned Grand Palace. But second thought, its already 2pm, for me to get to Grand Palace, with no idea how to go there cos last time my friend brought me there, and didnt really remember the bus number. So, ended up going to Siam Paragon.

Reached there, walked about, snapped some photos. Promised my darling to get her a Hard Rock Bangkok shirt. So, i been there before but still take me about 30 minutes to locate this place. Got there, bought 2 shirts, one for me and one for her. Then there is a market place in the building nearby, which i didnt noticed last time i come here with my girlfriend, there is so many things to from bras to socks, from original to copy version. Next time dear, next time i bring you here. ;)

So, time for my lunch, saw a chinese restaurant  nearby. Was packed and no place to sit, saw an empty place but there is a Na Ruck lady having her meal. Hmm, what to do, approach her and ask her if i can share table with her or not. Since thai people is very very friendly, she said ok.

Close look, yeah, pretty, but i think she just had an operation... no no no, not the bust, but the eyes, cos one of her eye is still protected by soft cotton. Maybe she is looking at me with the other eye, the eye is... shining. ;) Dont worry dear, i didnt do anything, i just sit there to have my Mee Hoon Soup. Never ask phone number never ask name. Just Mee Hoon Soup.

My meal is served, er... the portion is so small that only enough for one mouthful. Ordered another one, the Na Ruck lady smile... i told her the food here is very small portion, maybe she Mai Kau Chai, she just smile.

So, walk walk walk nearby Siam, MBK, Paragon, Discovery... see girls, see boys and see aqua... saw a group of photographer in action. Joined them but not for long. After that, my colleauge called and its time for dinner.

I am on the way back to Mochit Station. Tried to get a taxi but it was so crowded and taxi is not stopping. Get back to the Stationi and ask the Customer Service if there is any bus going to Chaeng Wattana, she said "Sorry, I dont know" then i show her the address, she also Mai Kau Chai, but she was helpful, she called her colleauge to check for me the bus number to Chaeng Wattana. It was Bus No. 52.

So, was on the way back to Chaeng Wattana. Dinner with colleauges and back to my Haunted Apartment.! The apartment is name Kensington, try a google search, its not in Thailand, its some where is europe. Google earth will display this place as jungle.

This Business Trip is not so enjoyable, cos all my friends are busy here. More to tell later, a Na Ruck Lady gave me her number and asked me to call. ;)
