Vain-est Day

Hohohoho, today is totally a vain day for me. Went for photo shooting session @ SNAPZ studio.

The photographer kept asking me to pose this and that, until my leg cramped lor. 

He took around 30 shots, but only can choose 2 of them. So I picked this 2. Why I chose these 2 shots? Because damn difficult to pose like that ok, jumping upside down.

Ok, here is the 1st shot, me playing guitar

2nd one, jumping up with photo frame (old fashioned pose actually)

And this is my first time put on make up too, here is the stain

Posing really tiring, Joanne, your turn is coming soon. Get prepared !!!

Hmm...... me and OMNIA, we are sharing the same idea and aim co-incidentally, maybe this is what we called, got "FATE" lah......

Aji Hanabi

Mm, yesterday was a happy day. My ex-pillow-side mate called me up for dinner, and told me I can eat whatever i want, his company credit card will pay the bill. Hooray!!!! So, we decided to meet at Vivo City. 

When we met up, he told me he was hungry and still need to wait for his colleagues to come. He suggested wanna have something light first while waiting. I was like, huh, real one or not, win liao lor like that. OK lor, since later will have a great great dinner, let him conned me for one slice of kaya toast la.

Then his colls called up and said will not join us, yeah, so we started looking for a "Nice" restaurant to settle our dinner. I suggested Sushi Tei, but damn it, super long queue. We decided not to queue for it and finally we reached this restaurant called Aji Hanabi.

Hanabi

We were sitting at the counter as full house, but not too bad, at least the decor quite nice

Our starter, damn nice salmon shasimi, must try !!! and dun forget to try the wasabi, NICE

My order, tempura soba.....the bowl is very special

Dunno what kind of fish, it's nice, but careful, BONES !!!!

Black sesame ice-cream, my dessert, COOL.....

Pillow-side mate's order, plain noodle

Buttery teriyaki cog fish, super nice, try try try !!!!

Green tea ice-cream topped with red beans

Aji Hanabi, food is nice, but a bit pricey. When i saw the bill, it's like S$116, hmm hmm, thanks ya, pillow-side mate ! Please call me more often, OK?

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX36

All along is a supporter of Panasonic Lumix cameras. From my very first digital camera, FZ10, which was bought in 2004, until DMC-LX1 in 2005, L1 in 2007 and now FX36 in 2008, can tell how stubborn I am in terms of camera brand ;-)

Today, I would like to share with you my new camera FX36 here. Panny, dun get offended here ok, this is not a camera review kind of post (I'm not so professional la), just wanna share some experiences after using this camera.

Before i decided to buy this camera, i was comparing 3 models, FX520, TZ15 and FX36. FX520 got touch screen plus 5x optical zoom, TZ15 is 10x optical zoom, but both also out of my budget. So, no choice, after received the eQuote from Cathay Photo, straight away went to the shop and got it.

OK, so here is my new camera, Panny Lumix DMC-FX36, 25mm wide angle lens, 4x optical zoom, 10 megapixels, HD-quality video recording, came with 4GB SD card plus a case.

back view

side view

My Converse, some test shot using different ISO setting, i think most of the people will concern about Panny's performance in higher ISO, bcoz of the noise that generated.

ISO 100 (100% crop)

ISO 200 (100% crop, noise start visible)

ISO 400 (100% crop, a bit grainy)

ISO 800 (100% crop, noise !)

ISO 1600 (100% crop, hmm, as usual, the problem still there)

A few testing shot in different mode, such as:

Outdoor

macro

iA (intelligent Auto) mode

Normal mode

Low light, iA mode

So far, still satisfy with the results and image quality produced by this compact camera, and it's quite value for money. Will I recommend this camera to frens? Definitely! Dun forget, I'm a fan of Panny, and I'm very stubborn, hahaha!!!
