the entrance to the mall area

Some photos from my visit to Malaysian GP 2009 at Sepang, Selangor, Malaysia. I can't really take photograph of the actions because of the limit my camera got: shorter zoom. More photos on my Flickr set.

New Nikon D5000

Destined between D60 and D90, this new model placed as a mid-range slr from Nikon. The price for D5000 is closed to the pricing for D90. So there will be arguments whether to get this new D5000 or just skip this one for D90.

Feature wise, it got the same sensor as D90 as well as the 11-point autofocus, D-movie and 2.7inch swivel lcd which is hinged at the bottom end, different from the same from Panasonic and some other manufacturers.

Interesting quote from Yusof Islam

As a muslim, I fully agreed on what Yusof Islam said, and Islam really respect women and honour them, and that's why there exist some guidelines when socialising between mens and womens. Below is Yusof Islam response to the false rumour regarding veiled women:

"It’s true that I have asked my manager to respectfully request lady presenters from embracing me when giving awards or during public appearances, but that has nothing to do with my feelings or respect for them. Islam simply requires me to honour the dignity of ladies or young girls who are not closely related to me, and avoid physical intimacy, however innocent it may be." - Yusof Islam on the false rumour regarding veiled women

upcoming iPhone 3.0

At last, Apple fulfilled the fanboy's wishes for lots of features they've been dreaming of to be in an iPhone, officially and no need to jailbreak their iPhone. Sadly, for iPod touch owner, they need to pay an extra $9.95 for the version 3 software. How sad :'(
