Michael Jackson...

Wow i turned on TV from 7am today and till 9am, it is still talking bout Michael Jackson's passing on. They interviewed people who are saying nice stuffs about him, albeit too late i think. And can u believe this... they started talking bout how much debts/assert he's leaving behind...

His first music video that i saw.... is thriller.. i was just a young kid then .. just 8 years old... Remember i was stying with granny. My aunty got a Video of Michael Jackson Music Video i think.. (Must remember to ask her. )

Then there's beat it, billie jean and the whole long list of worthy mentioned songs..
And who can forget that red leather jacket.
(psst... 1 of my fav is "They Don't Care About Us" )

He co wrote "We are the world.. "(one of my fav KTV song.. which i brutally kill at KTV.. haha)

We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So lets start giving

Theres a choice were making
Were saving our own lives
Its true well make a better day
Just you and me

I'm not a fan but i appreciate his music.
He wrote brillant songs..
I love his music videos..
He's a great choreographer ..
He's a performer..
He's a man of many faces..
He's genius..
He's kooky..

He love kids.. He ack like one. Many think he's guilty but many also think he's just being misunderstood.

Now that he's no longer around, i bet, there'll be bloodsuckers out there
claiming Michael did this or that to him.. And this time, Michael not there
to defend himself.

All eyes will be zooming to his 3 kids now. Yo Papz.. let them mourn in peace can?

Larry King said this morning
" .. it's hard to love him . But it's also hard to forget him "

For me ... i'll remember him like this




ps : He's 50??? waah !!

Are you a Michael Jackson fan??

Princess ride..

lil sis, email me this afternoon..


かわいい ...!!!!

Rubber band tempe

" ... Aura take aeroplane... Best ... "

I know i'm suppose to add in NDP rehearsal videos but videos taking quite sometime to upload.

Tomorrow perhaps..

Part 1 : Testing Lumix DMC-TZ7 - NDP 09 Rehearsal 20/06

This page takes awhile to load...




Went back to shop to swap Sony DSC H20 to DMC-TZ7

My husband read in paper that there will be NDP rehearsal at Marina last Saturday.
Tot it will be best to test out new camera there ..

Verdict from a NOOB... cannot compare point and shoot camera to semi manual camera. Lumix is very easy to use. It's many preset settings suits a noob like me. Love the 12X optical zoom and the dunno how many times digital zoom Love the zooming function under video mode. Love the HD feature. But because of Sony manual function, low light picture turns out better.

I would love to get DSLR camera ... but i know it'll just be another white elephant.

Lumix suits my husband better. That guy just know how to point and shot. Even with auto settings, dunno how he still manage to take bad shot hahahah ..

It's a pity that not many people turn up. Singapore tourism board should publicise the rehearsal. I'm sure tourist would love to take up fireworks pix ..


Here are the pix


Clockwise
- Playing with one of the many settings
- Gloomy sky
- Goverment playing a part in keeping Singapore river clean. Even on the platform got portable loo.
- My husband glass after being sprayed with seawater by Chinook Helicopter. (Chinook fly past so near that those beside the river sprayed by the water. Very shiok.. )




Testing out the 12 x optical zoom + the digital zoom

- without zoom
- with optical + digital zoom.. i think bout close to 40x. pix turns out ok.
anything more than 40x picture very blur
- testing night shots
- firing of cannon. (very loud)


- Testing the wind angle lens
- Testing night shot again
- The fireworks settings doesn't really work for a noob like me. THis was taken with auto settings
- Merlion with Fullerton settings.




Will upload videos taken with Lumix TZ7 of Chinook Helicopter flypass and fireworks next..

Ja ne..

Self take using my lousy FX-8.. still working conditon...no $$$ to upgrade better compact digicam

Princess aura new look

So cute...

Introducing Fugly Sunny... Part 2

Introducing Fugly Sunny... Part 2...

Sunny ... takes great pictures...
Work great in low light condition...

Love it....

I tried all the features..

Love it...

i played with the manual settings

Love it...

The 10x optical zoom additional digital zoom work so well
that i can see the face of the guy smoking from opposite building really clear.

But......

Today Sunny refuses to detect the memory card.

This happened twice since i adopted Sunny. (the first happened yesterday... and i've reformated the card also)

To make matter worse... i cannot even view the files from computer. So all gone now..

My initial guess guess will be (card having problem. But i don't have same problem using card on my mobile phone plus it's a brand new card)

Another guess will be... Sunny is a faulty set. Of course i can always get it replaced since it's still within 7 working days..

But i will be using this camera everytime i travel and i want piece of mind and not worrying all the time is my files going to be ok...

Hence with heavy heart, i have decided to return Sunny and switch to Lumix TZ7.. tomorrow..

ps.... : All pictures taken at dinner to celebrate my pretty sister birthday and princess aura's princess smile plus pictures of newly wed sis and hubby camwhoring all gone ... ...*sob*sob*

Kiasu virus

Mobile update. Pc show suntec. It's not even 10am and that's how long starhub mol q. Can spot my husband in the q? Hahaha

Introducing Fugly Sunny...

It's 2am and i need to wake up early tomorrow.. But i can't sleep before posting this hehehe
So pardon my long babblings..

The story...

Before walking in, my mind was set on the Lumix DMC-TZ7.



YOu know the one with the 12x Optical Zoom.. The one that with zoom function on video mode. I did my research. Eventho there's some grouses review on DMC-TZ7, i was adament to get it. (no pink unfortunately).

Side track.
My last 2 digital camera is Canon. My last trusted Canon is now aging and like other aging beings, i need to treat it with respect and hold it tenderly otherwise it'll refuse to coorperate with me. Hump...

Since i'm unsure if my Canon can survive the 2 weeks cold weather, i borrowed dad's Lumix to New York last year and and I like it all the shots turns out... (old Lumix model) In my opinion, dad's Lumix takes better picture in low light... and picture quality quite good too.


So we Walked to counter and tried dozen of cameras.(I tried the pinks first hehehe)
I want to make sure that i try all that appeals to me... or i'll be wondering bout it in months to come.
At this point, I still have not test Lumix DMC-TZ7 as i don't confuse myself on what to buy...


One of the camera that i quite like is a bright Pink Sony DSC-W220/P.

I don't like sony camera.. I don't know why. Those late nights researching, not once did i even consider or read on SONY.

But just now, What attract me is the bright Pink colour and the small palm size..

Price is at $390 is reasonable. The camera comes with SOny standard features. And i like that this camera work well under low light. The cons -> only 4x zoom and no zoom funtion for video recording. No wide lens.


Finally i tried Lumix DMC-TZ7.

Boy... i'm disappointed.

I'm not a pro...at all. I don't know what is aperture size or ISO or shutter speed.. and if you ask me 2 compare pictures of same object taken from 2 diff camera, i won't be able to tell the diff... and point out noise like wat pro can do.

But Lumix tz7 tad disappointing.. i can't point out which part.. but i can tell you.. the lagness in between shots and slow focus is going to annoy me in future. And also the 12x zoom shots does not turns on nice.

Jialat... now which one to choose.. Sony Pink or Lumix tz7.... ??

I don't know .. how?

But i know what i want in camera... what i want is simple.

I told him. I want ...

1 - High optical zoom (so i can zoom in to that handsome dude suntanning hahahaha )
2 - Optical image stabilzer
3 - ZOom mode durng video recording
4 - Able to perform well under low lighting.
5 - fast
6 - small enough to fit into my small bag (so SLR is no no... i don't want to go pro..)
7 - wide angle .. (this is not a Must)

Then out come this ugly baby ... Sony DSC H20... (Let's call it Sunny)

My first reaction.... urgsss... fugly..
2nd reaction... Not pink ...
3rd reaction ... bigger than Lumix (but still small enough for my bag)

i tried..

tried and tried all possible ways i know i'm going to subject Sunny to in future.

Even asked the guy for bigger memory card for me to test video recording.. and playback.

I'm worried that this camera cannot take good shots in low lighting area. So i told i'd like to test it.
He brought me out of shop to low light area to test the low lighting features.

(hehehe that is how fussy i am when i buy stuffs okie. I want this camera to last me 2 years at least so i must be really sure.)

Some of you will point out that it's not Leica lens... Well i don't care... as i mentioned.. i'm not a pro.

Woo Hoo...

I love it! i love it ! i love it ! .... my only grouse... is the lens.. It's not wide angle..
I can live with the body... i can always paste cute cute pinku or heart shape stickers kekekekke

But..

But i still want the Lumix.... sigh..

Then hubby said ... if i take Lumix... he predict, i will grumble and pester him to get another camera end of this year cos i can't stand the lagness. ( hahahah he knows me well )

Told the salesman... I walk into the store today with my mind set on Lumix and since he shown me Sony and i like it, and now i have to get it... but the 30mins there is not enough for me to fully test the camera before purchase and i didn't even read up on SOny. What if i don't like it... can i change back?

He said no problem.. they got exchange policy... so if i don't like the camera, i can return and exhange to Lumix TZ7 or the Pink Sony... he will get me to test till Monday and he will call me on Monday. If i still don't want, just go back to exchange another model.

(ps : Just incase you don't know. Some store allow that. Just be sure to ask on the exchange policy first before buying. I was so stupid last time... so there's many many times, i've ended with stuffs i'm not happy with.

I did the same thing when i purchase my last Home theater system. I bought Philips then 2 days later, i carted the whole box back to exchange to JVC... just be sure to have this agreement with the sales person... so you'll don't feel so embarrassed heheh )


Yeah.. yeah.. Yeah...... Yeah....


I'm now charging the battery.. Will test shot tomorrow..


After tomorrow... Canon the senior will be retiring permanently.


And here.. introducing Fugly Baby..Sony DSC-H20 .. aka Sunny.








Thank you hubby for letting me buy this... Now ... about my handphone ... hahahhaha
