Z96 Kit Video Light from DigitalMania

Let me introduce a new member in my photography family. I always wanted a video light for some creative shot that i am unable to shoot until now.

I got this from Digital Manias in Pudu Plaza last weekend. The light is good for me but it need 5 AA batteries. Weird becoz usually it is either 2,4 or 6, not some odd number. Now i need to get some additional new batteries for this.

My aipo adapter was killed by explosion

Last Saturday, my Aipo Dry Box's adapter finally gave up on me. It had been switch on continuously everyday since i bought it last year. Working continuosly without anything, so, i gues it must be "beh tahan liao" and decide to kill itself by exploding into pieces. It happened so fast with loud bang with some lights, that is according to my staff. Luckily nobody is injured. It happends in the morning when i was attending a dialog with the enforcement officers in Hospital Teluk Intan.

 My staff sms me saying something exploded near my seat and at first i thought they are sending me a prank sms.

I have emailed shashinki for clarification, and they promised to send me a new and better quality adapter. I guess case is closed for now. But a lesson was learned here. Do not seat facing any adapter, u will never know if this thing can happen again.

Relaxing weekends at Pantai Bagan Nakhoda Omar

Moving into a new place take a lot of time and attentions, but now with almost everything settled down, i have more time to blog. We visited a place called Pantai Bagan Nakhoda Omar near Sabak Bernam during the weekends.

U can see a lot of people digging into the sands when the tide goes down to get clams.

Although some people find it amusing to getting their own clams, i dont. So, I just went there to relax and played with my baby. Do you notice my glasses is dark in color? It is transitions glass. It can darken when exposed to uv light.

Didnt bring my dslr, so only can take few pictures with omnia 2.

Moving house tomorrow

 Like before, baby is helping me by moving her things as well. Toys, books, clothes, etc.

Tomorrow will be the official day i move in my house. It is a very auspicious day for me and my wife, according to the chinese calender or u can check it through Geomancy online. Yup, we chinese will consult the calender for marriage, house moving, etc. Some people even see the calender to determine which is the best date to visit a barber. They claimed that if u cut hair on the specific days, your hair will grow thicker.

Besides, there are some rules to follow as well. All the lights need to be lighted up for 3 nights before the date. I also need to bring my sale and purchase agreement before entering the house and then perform some prayers to inform the "other friends" that i am the sole possession of house and then invite them out.

Following that, i will need to open up all the windows, taps, etc to enable the "chi" to flow. Basic cooking materials such as rice, beans, oil, sauce, fruits need to be prepared as well. Finally, the family members need to spend overnight at that place.

Anyway, we are organizing a barbeque tomorrow night.
