South African Meal @ Ecoba by 7ASTE

Woopppsss...I attended the ECOBA night organized by 7ASTE!! My entrance and my sister's were free as we are members of 7ASTE.com. If you aren't member, that night cost you RM 80.

Let's see some pictures of it :)

There's a few of these 'lanterns' outside of the ECOBA.

They were quite smart to get more crowds as they setup a few laptops out there to ask non-members to register so that they can enter without any fee.

There is a gateway(tunnel) after that to the registration desk.

As there was very crowded, we waited and waited for our turn to enter >.<

There's where we register to enter...
One of the gal there looks so familiar, was it you? haha..

Give you another shot... hehe...

Then we were given this
wrist strip(my own term...haha) to be wear on.

ecoba, a place for you to eat, chill and oogle(Don't understand also)

I like this outside setting for few friends or couples to chill out... Looks romantic also... :D

Some shots of the area:

She is the emcee

The food over there, actually just to keep your stomach fill with something for the beer and wine >.<

I love this the most, a polaroid of my sister and I.

The Song of Vulgar Language...It can be an ART :P

Tech News: What? HD camcorder with interchangeable lens?!

Well well well, let's start with a bit introduction & history of camcorder. (not to bore you but for knowledge :D)

A camcorder (video camera recorder) is an electronic device that combines a video camera and a video recorder into one unit.

Camcorder was originally designed for television broadcasting which is damn bulky, huge and HEAVY. The TV crews uses 16mm film which need to be processed in the station and edit before it can be aired. So, normally the recording in early evening can only be aired on local news at 11pm. During this old days, the sarcastic idiom "film at 11" existed due to the slow process of the film.

But, as consumers are getting more and more demanding(I think everyone of us demands right?), the size of any digital items getting smaller and smaller AND more user friendly. From analog(those bulky VHS for example) to digital(DVD, HDD, etc) and now, Sony presents you interchangeable lens HD camcorder(yay! it's High Definition)

Is the lens that important for a camcorder? I have wiki-ed it out for you :)

The lens is the first component in the light path.The lens controls optic in many ways

aperture or iris to regulate the exposure and to control depth of field(dof);
zoom to control the focal length and angle of view;
shutter speed to regulate the exposure and to maintain desired motion portrayal;
gain to amplify signal strength in low-light conditions;
neutral density filter to regulate the exposure

Here, I have embedded the preview video of the SONY interchangeable lens HD camcorder. Have a look!

貸(大)耳隆Loan Shark in my Primary School

According to Wikipedia, a loan shark is a person or body that offers unsecured loans at high interest rates to individuals, often backed by blackmail or threats of violence.

This all happened during a day I went to SJK(c) Pay Fong II to send lunch to my niece.

That's the condition of the classroom... And for your information, the class is air conditioned! Elementary school with aircond you know???

Some naughty students there kept asking who am I... Maybe I looked too smart that day... Haha...
I kinda got bored by all the questions then I just left the classroom, and then I saw THIS!!(Next picture)

貸書室, it supposed to be a room to borrow textbooks and such. But, the Malay translation is Bilik Boss or Boss Room in English. Sounds like 貸(大)耳隆 boss room. Lol! Kinda lame maybe..haha..But I find it funny for the translation :D
