just bought a new temporary camera Olympus 1010. I can't really stop taking photos. Like this camera coz it comes with super macro mode of 2cm!! Love it. cost me AED1350. Anyway..life gettin bz now. No time for my own life actually. Design demand also higher and clueless now. And .... of course.restless!!!
Last few days i was in Sacile. About 40 minutes from Venice. I know...People thought that was a very good trip .....Italy...,, hahahha... nobody knows where is Sacile at Pordenone.. It's just like an industrial area.. full of factory. In Malaysia.... it is the same as Kajang or Kg Melayu Subang ... so please do not imagine anything more than that.
It was such a jammed packed schedule.. working from 8.30am till 9pm daily. Only the last day on the way to the airport, we manage to slot 1 1/2 hours to 'Venice'. Yes..the real Venice coz we are going to Venice airport later. Also another speedy trip. Walking and snap photo like nobody business.. what ever captured consider OK just as a prove that i was there in Venice
But the food were superb!!!!! nicely decorated and well presented. And wines are everywhere.. to them... wine is like water,,and they can drink Grappa like mineral water...
I dunno... for me.. nothing special about Venice... a good place to explore photography...

I'm sure the whole office has been waiting for a long time for the 2nd April to come. Full of tricks were planned. Most of it were failed coz they dunno me yet.. from their face i can saw what was in their mind... funny faces with weird behavior. But end up... i saw the cake that they've bought... pity them also if i just ran away... so..OK laaa... give them a chance.. just once a year anyway... tak pe... tak pe... next time all of them must be very careful during their bday... hmmmmm..

At last.. after being silent for months, now i'm back with my new Roland TD6KX electronic drum. Looking for TD9 but only available in USA and price is 22k. So, what i'm gettin is very good enough compare to TD3. All mesh pad!!! New processor and the best part is... 1600k cheaper than Malaysia.
AED7800
Walk out from the music store in Karama.
Erika trying the Hello Kitty guitar... lucky she didn't know how to play it...
Mesh pad..feel like original drum !!!
A very high tech look underneath the mesh
I'm using my new iPOD connected to the TD6 processor for play along mode. Awesome!!! Love the drum so much!!! With Yamaha headphone, the sounds are crispy detail!!
Hope Heidi don't mind the drum is now located in her room and i'm making a bit noise with foot pedal during midnight..... cheers!
Planning for the next items.....

In conjunction with Eid Mubarak, TAK organized an Open House at his Villa near Jumeirah. The food were superb! Cooked by 4 Malaysian Chef who work in Burj Al Arab and Jumeirah Beach Resort. you can find satay, rendang, nasi himpit, rojak, roti jala with chicken curry, soto and also nasi lemak specially served by TAK himself to each staff. Almost all staff were there since transport were provided and the driver picked us up from the villa and send you back after the function. Ok what...
Lots of pics were taken on that night by most of the staffs but still have no time to download it from the server. This is one of the problem when we need to beg for pics. Miss my camera so much. Thought of buying Nikon D80 after Christmas.
The only pics that i have is my pose with Nien using D80. Both wearing national cloth - theme of the night. Will upload more pics soon.
Yesterday was a working Friday due to lots of submission. And to release and forget all the tension and stress at the office, we went to Peppermint Club at Habtoor Hotel, Dubai Marina. It was their launching ceremony featuring DJ Timo Maas. Lucky enough, one of my friend fetch us at 10pm. And we were among the first 100 to be there.
The place used to be the ballroom for the hotel. The overall reno works were sucks!! Last minute work. Covered the white plaster ceiling with black cloth and built up platforms with thin ply. The F&B bar also looks like a catering table with black cloth skirting. But the sound system was superb. The crowd, hmmmm... interesting and attracting. See the photos for yourself at http://www.peppermint-club.com/
Woke up at 9++ am.. that's the only day that we can have a bit of extra nice sleep... who cares about raya anymore. Furthermore, nothing to celebrate also. The whole last few days were so tiring doin preparation for 1st round presentation. Believe it or not, we've work almost up to 12 - 1am everyday. And last 2 days was the max for ID dept till now, up to 4am. Works are now rolling and piling to ID dept. We are lucky coz few more of our x-subordinates from previous company are coming next month. Now, day by day passes so fast without realizing that my family members are coming in about 1 month from now. Unbelievable. Can't imagine how much time i 'll have to be with them...
A boring first raya day... plan to go to Fazwan apartment and cook for lunch.
Suddenly, received a call from our Design Director. Invited us to his house.
Rombongan to the house. Walking under the hot sun and cool wind... the transition from summer to winter.
Manage to buy some bahan2 masak and cook for dinner. Everybody were busy preparing for their own lauk in their own style. Ninien show her own style of nap on soft microfibre fabric upholstered sofa.
Went to Ibn Battuta Mall after dinner. Look Look See See... SALE all over the place... Damn cheap. Should i ? hahaha
