Manipal January 2012 : Republic Day of India

2012-01-28T14:05:00.000+05:30

    Below are the faces that lacks attendance in class , and were requested to join
    the marching squad as a form of penalty to redeem back their 'attendance'.
    this will add 5hrs of class attendace to them , and also 3hrs worth of attendance if
    they donate their blood to the hospital.
    i think its a good concept by the MMC to make sure students attend all the classes.
    haha.

The legendary Nasi Kandar in Penang : Nasi Beratur at Jalan Masjid Kapitan Keling

One of the best Nasi Kandar in Penang since 1943.

this is how this place got its name : the famous long queue

Nasi + Ayam + Sayur + drinks = around RM7.00

Qidran Jr. will cover his face up everytime we try to photograph him.

Reach the top!

Actually the main reason we went to Penang this time is to

   look for this special edition collaboration sneakers between Vans
   and a BMX company The Shadow Conspiracy.
   Unfortunately , the Mid-cut Vans x Shadow Conspiracy sneakers

that i really wish to have was out of stock ,

leaving behind only a pair low-cut size 9 that was definitely not meant for me.
better luck next time I think. haha.

the two little kittens , Jerry and Kitty died today.
their mother Jenny is not looking pretty good as well.
suspected they accidentally swollowed agricultural poison
at the neighbour's house.
really sad.
and i think the most sad person regarding this is my 8 yrs old sister.
she always cuddle with the kittens everytime she comes back from school.
she even named the kittens herself.

but anyhow , today she asked my mother :
"Mama bape tahun lagi nak jadi nenek?" :)

1970 Yashica Electro-35 GTN

2011-10-25T09:42:00.002+05:30

i got myself an original vintage Yashica Electro-35 GTN rangefinder camera
with Yashinon 45mm f1.7 lens and a close up lens.
produced in 1970.
The original 6V battery is not available nowadays , so i have to do
a little bit of modification so the built-in lightmeter and other functions to work properly.

a conventional 6V LR44 battery is too small and won't fit in the battery compartment

the things needed are : Aluminium foil , a 6V LR44 battery , a rubber tube

put all the things together and now the battery fits perfectly

into the camera's battery compartment

without battery

with battery inserted

the electronic functions of the camera is perfectly working now.

2011-09-13T00:16:00.000+05:30

there is one thing called as the " Residential Permit " for students studying in India.
all students have to apply for it as soon as they reach this country , registered under Foreigners Registration Officer / FRO of respective Police Station.
Not posessing the document during the stay in India is illegal.
and without it we cannot travel out of India as well.
well , our permit is now expired.
inspite applying for extension since 1 month back through the University Academic Section ,
nothing had been done , except for fake promises. everyday.
"ok" , "teik hai" , "confirm confirm " , " don't worry i will help you " , " we have contacted the Police " ,
"i will send someone today ". " 2 O'clock tomorrow confirmed. you go to Satara Police Station "
tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow.confirm confirm confirm.
and the "tomorrows and confirms" goes on for one month. with expired permit , our stay in India
now is now practically illegal.
and still , the academic section has done nothing.

And the departure date came.
As we all already bought our flight tickets , we decided to go the airport instead,
without the permit being renewed , and
knowing the risk of not getting clearance from the immigration.
so its a 6 hours trip to Mumbai Airport , with Raya Songs constantly playing
hoping that we can get through the airport and be home with our family and friends for Eid in Malaysia.

Usually , the immigration in Mumbai Airport won't ask for the permit ( in contrast to other airports
that would definitely ask for it ).
and we hope that they won't ask for it as usual.
But , the worst thing happened.
One of the AirAsia in-charge asked one of us the permit.
and we failed to show it , except for one of my senior who her permit is not expired yet.
we begged , and begged , and begged to the person to let us in.
2 hours beging in the airport , but it was worthless.
well actually , it was the AirAsia people who was the pain in the ass.
we can possibly convince the immigration about our problem ( applied permit extension since one month but no action from the University Administration ) ,

but as soon as the AirAsia guy talked to the head of the Immigration ,our hope turned into dust.
he wont listen and consider our situation.
so we missed our flight that night.

Luckily , we met En.Ali , who happened to send his wife at the airport.
En.Ali is a personal assistant to the new Malaysian General Consule based in Mumbai.
we talked to him about his problem and he tried to help us out.
As he has no power over the immigration , there's nothing he can do about the clearance.
He offered us shelter in his house in Bandra West.

At his house , all us 8 students who was stranded had another meeting.
Discussions over discussions , we decided to contact the police directly , not through the
university's academic section which had been proven pointless.
we had to go back to Satara Police Station , and it means 5 hours of travelling.
we hired a car , and as we are now in Mumbai , the rate is double compared to my place.
So 8 of us , packed in one car , travelled down to Satara the day after.
It was Sunday , and office was closed. but we managed to convince the Police Officer to stay for us.
we also need our documents e.g visa copy , passport photos ready.
some of my friends didn't have soft copies of passport photo , so i grabbed my DSLR ,
set my friend against a white wall , and snap a photo.
it was just a simple set up. a white wall in En.Ali's House , a 50mm lens and just one speelite to
bounce the flash.
a quick edit in photoshop to turn the photo's background into blue ( as in standard passport photo ) ,
and the photos are ready to be printed.

we headed to Satara. this time , no raya songs playing.all we can do is pray.

After 5 hours of travelling , we reached Satara at 10 p.m . met the police officer and we
told him what happened , in detail.
Luckily the police officer was very co-operative.

Explained our situation , the police then told us what had really happened.
its not the police's fault , it is actually the University Administration.
The police said they had only received the extension application form from the academic
section yesterday ( instead of one month back when we first enrolled the extension application)
to make things worst , the academic section sent the wrong forms and wrong visa copy
to the police.
not forgetting to mention that on of my junior's form is lost , not once , but a few times.

it was late , and the FRO was not in office ( adding to the fact that it was Sunday )
so we headed back to our hostel in Karad , and immediately bought new flight tickets.
had a not-so-pleasant sleep that night , we went back to Satara early in the morning
to catch up with the FRO and finally got our permit done.

this time , we headed to Mumbai airport again , with raya songs on air again. :)

so it took one month for the academic section to apply the permit for us,
(or should I say one whole month of doing nothing ) ,
6 hours to Mumbai ,
hours of traffic jams in Mumbai,
Hours of begging at the immigration,
6 hours down back to Satara and Karad ,
6 hours back to Mumbai ,
burnt flight tickets,
Rs17000 each for new one-way tickets,
Rs100 + Rs500 each to the Police Officer ( yeah you knoe what is this for ) ,
and Rs1350 summon from the Police for us for the things that are not actually our fault.
yeah.

Salam Perantauan Aidilfitri 2011

2011-08-22T12:02:00.001+05:30

four batches this year.

Had a photo session for Salam Perantauan Aidilfitri 2011 yesterday.
shot at KiMS University compound in Karad , India with
Canon EOS 550D , Canon EF 50mm f1.8 lens , Samyang 8mm fisheye lens
and a YN-560 speedlite.
It's monsoon now in India so everywhere is greener. loves it!
Unluckily i broke my 16Gb SDHC memory card just after transferring the photos into
my laptop.

i'm not sure the term " Salam Perantauan " is still valid for me because i'll be
going back to Malaysia this Aidilfitri. hehe

Malaka Spice | Pune

2011-08-22T00:30:00.000+05:30

Roti Jala. Stylo.

Chicken Curry. just nice.

Rojak buah. a bit weird. but the taste still resembles original Malaysian Rojak Buah

Kingfish in Ginger Sauce. Nice fish. odd mushrooms.

Prawns and Asparagus. this is the best of all. recommended.

Malay Spicy Noodles. tastes very synthetic. like Maggi.

Tom Yam. Worst! does'nt taste like Tom Yum at all. and button mushrooms in Tom Yam? yucks!

We went to Pune , Maharashtra , India and found a restaurant claimed to prepare Malaysian delicacies.
The Malaka Spice on 5th Lane , Koreagon Park , Pune.
Well , the food is fairly decent here , some are undoubtfully very delicious , but pricewise
( not forget to mention ikan haruan for Rs1500 @ RM100 per piece) , and some of the food claimed
to be Malaysian are not even close to the real ones,
i suggest better cook your own food.hehe

Glassware

2011-01-22T12:03:00.000+05:30

i don't wear any spectacles but i want a new glass.haha
i have four lenses in mind :
-Canon EF 50mm f1.4
-Canon EF 85mm f1.8
-Canon 100 mm f2
-Sigma 30mm f1.4 HSM

i already have a canon EF 50mm f1.8 II
i've been thinking :

1-Canon EF 50mm f1.4 USM
reason : - larger aperture ( f1.4) compared to f1.8. better in lowlight and greater Bokeh
- better built quality and sharper + more accurate focusing
what i don't like : i still get the same focal lenght of 50mm ( equivalent to 80mm in APS-C sensor )

2-Canon EF 85mm f1.8 USM
reason : - USM , means i get more accurate , silent and fast focusing
- 85mm focal lenght , and that would be equivalent to 136mm on my 550D. nice for candids!
what i don't like : - ?

3- Canon 100mm f2
-100mm vs 85 mm seems to be not a very significant ( 15mm difference in focal lenght ) but on a crop body like my EOS 550D = its 160mm vs 136mm. now that has become more significant.
- but its f2. I'll be loosing one f-stops compared to f1.8.

4- Sigma 30mm f1.4
- f1.4! very large aperture. superb for lowlights and Bokeh
-30mm , its a good range for close up portraits.

but my heart says that i should get the EF 85mm f1.8 USM.
comments and critics anyone?
