What happen to my guarding angel?

Lately long time didn’t write anything here…
This year of rat is not a good year for me, that day I fetch my girl friend and her friends to see a fortune teller to “tilik nasib”. So at the end I also go for it.
The old lady said this year my luck is no good, many of my belonging will spoil, will encounter small accident, will kena saman and etc…
So I notice many things had come true, last month my car battery die, tyre puncit, table fan spoil, sprain my wrist till now not yet recover, my pant zip broken yesterday…
I also don’t know is just coincidentally or not?
She also ask me to release 12 fishes into the wild to buang sial…I think I must do it ASAP.

Revoltech Transformer Megatron

Megatron only comes with a few accessories. A variant head is included that has more of a snarl than the normal face, but it’s not terribly different. Trying to get the second head on was a pain due to the tight fit of the joint and the constantly moving Revoltech neck. In addition to the head, Megatron also comes with 3 extra hands. Two of the hands are wide open, but the third is a hand designed to hold a gun. Apparently this hand is used to hold Convoy’s gun. The thing that impresses me most about Revoltech Megatron is the awesome metallic finish. Just check out the deep metallic red paint on the inside of the legs – it’s absolutely gorgeous.

Fox Terrier

The Wire Fox Terrier is a breed of dog, one of many terrier breeds. It is an instantly recognizable fox terrier breed. Although it bears a resemblance to the Smooth Fox Terrier, they are believed to have been developed separately. Two of their faults are their enormous amount of energy and the fact that they easily get bored, but they can be very loving and fun if they get the proper attention. Additionally, it takes an extreme amount of training to get them to come when called, but it is not impossible.

The wire fox terrier is a sturdy, balanced dog weighing between 15 and 21 pounds. Its rough, broken coat is distinctive. Coat color consists of a predominant white base with brown markings of the face and ears, and usually a black saddle or large splotch of color; there may be other black or brown markings on the body. The wire in the photo at left sports the traditional white, black and buff tri-color coat. The wire in the right hand photo appears to be a ginger, a wire without black markings.

This is the doggie I wanted to keep, but after I saw the price tag of the 9 month puppy in Mid Valley its keep me away…some more my girl friend don’t like dog!

Sternberg's Triangular Theory of Love

Triangular Theory of Love

In the triangular theory of love, love is characterized by three elements: intimacy, passion and commitment. Each of these elements can be present in a relationship, producing the following combinations:
Liking or friendship (intimacy)
Infatuation or limerence (passion)
Empty love (commitment)
Romantic love (intimacy+passion)
Companionate love (intimacy+commitment)
Fatuous love (passion+commitment)
Consummate love (intimacy+passion+commitment)

Love styles
Susan Hendrick and Clyde Hendrick developed a Loves Attitude Scale based on John Alan Lee's theory called Love styles. Lee identified six basic theories that people use in their interpersonal relationships:
Eros (love) — a passionate physical love based on physical appearance
Ludus — love is played as a game; love is playful
Storge — an affectionate love that slowly develops, based on similarity
Pragma — pragmatic love
Mania — highly emotional love; unstable; the stereotype of romantic love
Agape — selfless altruistic love; spiritual

Hendrick and Hendrick found men tend to be more ludic and manic, whereas women tend to be storgic and pragmatic. Relationships based on similar love styles were found to last longer. In 2007, researchers from the University of Pavia led by Dr Enzo Emanuele have provided evidence of a genetic basis for individual variations in Lee's loving styles, with Eros being linked to the dopamine system and Mania to the serotonin system.

So what is your love likes?

My First Lesson of the Art of Photography

If you are interested in pursuing further in photography, understand some basic is no harm. Be begin with, regardless of whether you are using an entry level P&S (point & shoot) camera, or a high-end film/digital-based SLR camera, all you need to understand what are the few elements that can help to make a theoretical perfect exposure to be formed.

In this case, it is not that confusing either, because it is actually quite simple where al the essentials can be concluded as a simple equation in Exposure = Aperture + Shutter Speed. To let you easier to digest what I said, an exposure can be interpreted in bare basic form - a developed image that can make you very happy about (minus the sentimental factor), other things like brilliance of colors, good contrast, well focus etc. - it is like things that simply make a cheerful day out of you...

What is an "aperture”?

Aperture is referred to the lens diaphragm opening inside a photographic lens. The size of the diaphragm opening in a camera lens REGULATES amount of light passes through onto the film inside the camera the moment when the shutter curtain in camera opens during an exposure process. The size of an aperture in a lens can either be a fixed or the most popular form in an adjustable type (like an SLR camera). Aperture size is usually calibrated in f-numbers or f-stops. I.e. those little numbers engraved on the lens barrel like f22 (f/22), 16 (f/16), f/11, f/8.0, f/5.6, f/4.0, f/2.8, f/2.0, f/1.8 etc. Each of this value represents one time the amount of light either more or less in quantity. Meaning to say, f/16 will let in 1X the amount of light than a diaphragm opening of f/22 and so forth; while on the other hand, an aperture of f/4.0 will let in 1X lesser than that of f/2.8 etc.

Aperture also affects an important photographic element called "depth of field" (short form "DOF"). You may ask, what is hell is this "Depth of Field”? Depth of field is just technical term used to describe the 'zone' of sharpness' between nearest and furthest of a subject in focus (to be more exact, distance of sharp focus in front and behind, subject on which the lens is focused).

The bigger the apertures used the zone of sharpness is shallower or vice versa i.e. smaller aperture used will have extended depth of field. For example: use larger aperture (Smaller number like f/2.8, f/2.0 etc.) with a long focal length to isolate or emphasis on expression, such as in portraiture photography; or use a smaller aperture (Bigger number like f/16 or f/22 etc...) to ensure pin-sharp details in both the foreground and the background.

What is shutter speed?

The aperture diaphragm of a lens (bigger or smaller values) AND timing (open and close) of the camera's shutter curtain - BOTH perform the tasks of regulating the amount of light entering the camera and expose onto the film. The shutter speed scales engraved on the shutter speed dial of conventional camera bodies with a shutter speed ring OR via some flickering digital numerals on the LCD screen like: 1/8000, 1/4000, 1/1000, 1/500, 1/250, 1/125, 1/60, 1/30, 1/15, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1 or -1, -2 etc. are essentially indicators of the duration (timing) at which the shutter curtain opens up and closes during an exposure process. A 1/125 setting means the shutter curtain open and close within one hundred and twenty five of a second while 1 means a one full-second the shutter opens up during exposure to absorb the available light source onto the film to form an exposure.

Different selection of shutter speeds will yield different kind of visual effect on a final photograph. Generally, a fast shutter speed can freeze action while slow speed can blur your image. I am not indicating these are fixed rules. If you understand the nature of how various shutter speed(s) will affect an exposure, you may put them to creative use to enhance the effect - like other than freezing a fast action scene, a slow shutter speed can also put to good use in portraying movement. You can try on to "PAN" a moving subject by following its direction or simply generates a sense flow of movement. But MOST people relates SLOW means BLURRING AN IMAGE which leave little for them to select this alternative to try them out. Well, it is excusable because in most PR-type of photography (photo session on public relation matters like wedding, gathering, seminars, or personal domestic duties for some privileged group - includes your wife, mistress or girl friends..), who would appreciate a defocus or blurry images ? BUT - for the creative minded photographer, slower shutter speed sometimes may create a more powerful visual impact than images taken with action-freeze high shutter speed(s), say, a free flowing river, traffic, a flock of birds taking off or even speed-demons on a race track.. Etc.

What is an Exposure?It can be explained as the quantity of light allowed to act on a photographic material; a product of the intensity (controlled by the lens opening) and the duration (controlled by the shutter speed or enlarging time) of light striking the film or paper (darkroom or in the color-lab).

First, you MUST understand a fact, i.e. there is no such thing call a "perfect exposure". It is all a matter of personal preference - well, only the photographer who did the image captures process will "hold" the rights and judge whether it is or it is not a "good" exposure.

A short Summary:
Shutter speed(s) (Duration/timing of the shutter curtain closing inside the camera section): It controls the degree of movement in your pictures (fast speed to freeze a movement or slow speed to create creative motion effect).
Aperture(s) (lens section): It determines the depth of field (zone of sharpness in front and behind) of the focus subject of interest. It adds depth and dimension in your photos.
Exposure: Camera metering circuitry suggests an exposure (combination of shutter speed set in your camera + aperture selection on lens). User decides whether to override cameras metered / suggested combination for specific effect in the final image based on personal interpretation best expressing his/her thought.
It is so easy, isn't it?

Audiotrak Prodigy HD2 Gold Sound Card

This product was the first Hi-End card to use a top DAC from AKM and high quality additional components. Prior to this product, top DACs used to be installed only in expensive limited-edition studio cards for $1000 and higher, such as LynxTwo, ProTools HD, etc. Along with high quality components, the card uses multifunction drivers. The price of the ProdigyHD2 Gold on the Russian market is quite acceptable.

As far as we know, Audiotrak offers two cards for the European market - Prodigy HD2 (without Gold suffix) and Prodigy Hi-Fi. These cards may appear on our market as well.

The low-profile card can be installed into a stylish and small HTPC with other Hi-Fi/Hi-End components. The most difficult problem will be to choose a noiseless PSU for your low-profile PC case, because they have non-standard dimensions. You might want to use a PSU as a stand-alone unit, so that you could choose any PC case you like and any PSU installed in a well ventilated place. If you choose a PSU with removable cables, you may make then longer and put inside a shielded pipe. A low-profile bracket is included into the bundle.

The Prodigy HD2 Gold contains high quality opamps for the line-out with the Triple OPAMP technology - two OPA2134 from Burr-Brown + JRC5532. Dip connectors allow to replace opamps without soldering. Headphones-out is based on two JRC4580 chips that provide the output power of 120 mW. The card for the European market (Prodigy HD2) uses the NE5532 instead of the OPA2134. Thus, you can replace the NE5532 with the OPA2134 for $16-20 to upgrade your card to the Gold edition. The only competitors of our card under review are new Auzentech cards on CMI8788 and the Auzen X-FI Prelude 7.1 to be launched this year.

My poor wrist

Since the eve of Chinese New Year I sprained my wrist when I fall down. Since then my wrist will give me pain when I turn my wrist in certain angle. So I apply some medicine oil my self and hope its will be gone in a few days. But the pain is still stick to me until today. Had go seen 3 different tukang urut already still not cure. Also have go see the hospital physiotherapist for ultrasound and heat treatment still no sign of recovering.

Human body can be so fragile. Maybe need to change to bionic hand…

My first camera...The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX2

Panasonic's Lumix DMC-LX2 inherits a wide range of features from LX1 , like the same 4x optical zoom (equivalent to 28mm to 112mm on a 35mm film camera), MEGA O.I.S.(Optical Image Stabilizer), and user friendly exposure modes. However, the LX2 is enhanced with a 10.2-megapixel imager and a larger 2.8-inch wide (16:9) LCD screen.

The DMC-LX2 is further distinguished from other cameras by its full manual controllability including manual focus via a joystick allowing users to easily enjoy creative shooting. Its Venus Engine III high performance image processing LSI dramatically reduces noise, realizing image recording at a maximum ISO 1600 high sensitivity setting at full resolution.

Panasonic’s revolutionary MEGA O.I.S. is incorporated into the entire line of LUMIX cameras.

The Begining of my chronicle

In a fine second day of the month of May a child is born in a small district hospital of Kampar in the state of Perak. This little boy is the first born in his family. After 4 days staying in hopsital he go back to his home in a small kampung call Mambang Diawan.

Mambang Di Awan is a small kampung in Perak, Malaysia. Its name means "Spirit in the Clouds". Mambang Di Awan is situated nearby Kampar. The famous groundnut factory of "Cap Tangan" (Hand Giving Good Sign) is situated in this small township.
