In memory of a Friend

Approximately 1 hour 30 minutes ago I received news of my dear friend William Seetow's death in a car accident. Something like that just came up and whacked me right in the face. And to think that I was chatting with him 2 days ago on MSN. I dont know the details of the accident though.. I'll attend the wake. Rest in peace dearest friend for God has a higher purpose for you.

Lord be with you.

Update May 30th 2008

Yo all... Had quite a productive day today haha. Wokeup at 7 am went to Sanjay's house.. had breakfast, sat down and chat and gossiping about the editor of DCM about switching from Canon to Nikon (YES NIKON RULES). So what if the Cannon Mark III has more megapixels? Nikon's very own D3 beats the Mark III flat. Not to mention the upcoming D3x will put the rest out of business lol. I saw the Pentax k20d in DCM and John said I should get it. Considering it.. but the d-300 sounds and looks nicer=P. Met up with John at Bangsar Village in Starbucks. Waited for John's friend to arrive... HE HAD THE CRUMPLER BAG FOR CAMERAS!! Ok.. so with John armed with a D3, Sanjay with a D-300, John's friend (sorry forgot your name >.<) with a D-200 and me with a D-50 (woohoo all Nikon users) we all went down to FRIM to get a dose of nature shots =) (will upload later. need to put some watermarks). Shot for about 2 - 3 hours then headed over to The Curve for lunch. Ate at Bubba Gump Shrimp lol. GOOD FOOD!! AMERICAN SIZED!! Apparently the only Bubba Gump Shrimp restaurant in the whole of Malaysia lol. Went home after that and fell dead on my bed. Woke up and then..... refer to upcoming post.

Quick Update May 29th 2008

Hey people!! Aite a quick one before I hit the basketball court. Went down to Pudu this afternoon to get my 1970 Pentax k1000 SLR fixed. Store owner charged me RM 200 lol including lens cleaning (my 80-200mm) THAT'S HELLA CHEAP. Other shops will eat me RM 1500 - 2000. This guy obviously cares more about his customers then making money. A good man xD. Sanjay bought his equipment belt with lens pouches lol and got a seriously good discount. Met John down at the camera store and chit-chat with him awhile and looking at the wedding photos he shot for a couple. Brought Kok Yau down to the camera store also to look at Canon's SLR lenses. Me and Sanjay were coaxing Yau to buy a Nikon xD. In the end Yau came up with a plan : Sanjay, Kenny, Yau = SKY open our own freelancing blog. All buy Nikon. Pool money to buy lenses to share amongst the 3 of us. I LOVE THE IDEA!! lol. And the girl at the counter of the camera shop... is funny lol. Was watching her write down the receipt for my camera and she doesnt know the difference between a lens cap and a lens filter O_o . YOU PHAIL!! =P. And my lens... LoL if she were working at the camera store one look at my lens and you'll know that it is 80-200mm what other lens has that kind of length and cylindrical look huh? She kept turning my lens up and down searching for the numbers = =. I told her it was 80-200mm then she finally removed the lens cap and saw "80-200mm" behind the lens filter.... serious LoL. Saw a nice sling bag from Crumpler made for putting cameras.. NICE. Gonna get that too. Might buy a lens hood for my 80-200mm :) RAWRR...

Okay then off to basketball... next update in 3-4 hours time =P.

Okay I got back from ball and was dead tired so I didnt blog last night other then the short update :P. News from my front? Shit loads.





Okay... I QUIT MY JOB woohoo :D. Why? Yeah I mean it was nice and all with Guan and Koon around to joke around with BUT someone.. I wont say who... *not ur dad shuen dont worry ur dad's a nice guy* said something very mean <<<(understatement) to me. And to those that know me long enough you know that when reach my limit break just how bad my temper can be. Rawrr... long story short... treat me like shit and I'll do the same to you. So to those people that are using me now... dont think I dont know lol I'm just keeping quiet. And to those people that always FFK me in the last minute... I'm just keeping quiet. Those people that backstab... I know lol.. I'm just keeping quiet. AND James.... ur the biggest retard in the world. Thats the best I can call you since there are young readers visiting my webpage =P.





Bitter parts aside.... I'm my own boss now woohoo!! Freelance photography rules!! Partnering with Sanjay and learning the ropes from an established photo journalist John Ishii. Will buy my camera after I return from National service. Keat's Camera Services down at Pudu just gave me a nice discount on a Nikon D-300 woohoo!! Seriously Good place to buy gears for cameras and servicing. Nikon D3X coming out sometime soon O.O so now finally Nikon is taking the game to Hasselblad. I think the D3x will definitely best the Hasselblad H1. Not to mention Hasselblad is freaking heavy.




I'll be buying these babies after NS. Behold my future investment. Nikon D-300

AND SOON TO BE RELEASED!! NIKON D3X
