Leica X1 and Cars 2

DH bought a new Leica X1 camera and here are his few test shots 

AWESOME!

Very sharp, right? 

On another note, Cars 2 has a lot of actions

Not so much storyline

So-so saja, but the kids love it 

(no wonder, they are boys) 

And after that, we went to overnight at the hotel

Tomorrow will be another round of shopping!

Yeah, Dubai Summer Festival has started.

Yehaaa!

Oh Our Defective iPhone 4

We bought our iPhone 4 when Apple has released it last year. I think it was on September 2010.

We didn't realized on the defects until we were using it for a few months. I had a problem with my IP4 camera. 

The camera shutter is not opening and the camera is not working. I was quite upset for a while but didn't bother so much because I have my Sony camera. But still, twitter isn't fun anymore because I can't tweet photos. I was trying to upgrade and downgrade the iPhone4 IOS, but the camera is still not working. So it must be the hardware, not the software. I brought my IP4 to Etisalat branch where he got me the IP4, and they replaced me with a new IP4 for FOC. It was great! Now I can use my IP4 camera again.

My IP4 defect is still ok compared to hubby. His IP4 had problems with receptions. I told hubby to bring it to any Apple branch and ask them what to do. They might have replace it for hubby too. Apple did admit about their miscalculation on the IP4 antenna before. So his IP4 might be the defective version with the miscalculation. But as an engineer, he tried to fix it by himself. Seriously degil!!!

Firstly he opened his IP4. Lepas dah buka, then he asked me about antenna. Since I dulu ambil subject about Antenna, RF and microwave, mesti I tahu all about it. Oh my, it was about 10 years ago, how can I remember? Even my work before didn't involved with too much technical details.

He tried to put a small piece of paper, then a small piece of foil, then lastly he tried to tape a large piece of foil so that the reception will pickup effectively and tadaaaa it works! No more call drops or no reception.

Definitely we learn our lessons to wait for a while before buying gadgets. Usually they are not testing it properly and release the defective or incomplete version when it was first released. Betul tak B? But the truth is that the real geeks actually couldn't wait! lol

Paparazzi

Papa, Paparazzi...(while singing Lady Gaga's song)

One weekday, hubby YM-ed me and told me he wanted to go to Dubai after work. Semangat! He said he couldn't wait until the weekends to get the telephoto lens for his DSLR. I was like, "ok love, whatever makes u happy." =P So he drove to Dubai with us.

After he acquired the "belalai gajah", he smiled and was excited to start shooting. So all night he was asking me where should we go after this so that he could take photos with the zoom lens. I just said yes, ok after this we could plan something. The next morning he can't wait and took a candid photo of me sending Izz to the school bus from our 16th floor apartment.

I wasn't excited because I am not into photography. Then while he drove, he let me try to take some shots around Abu Dhabi. I was hooked and really enjoyed the telephoto lens. It's fast and sharp. Here are some of the Telephoto Walkabout photos that we took around Abu Dhabi.

After this there would be more "skodeng" photos a'la paparazzi. ;)

Kinect

Ready to explore for some kinect adventure?

I was thrilled when hubby bought the kinect sensor

And I feel like inside the Minority Report when using my body movement as a controller

And we had so much fun playing the Kinect game together,

in the comfort from our own living room =)

It was so kewl!!!

If you would like to learn more about Kinect, watch this video

I am amazed with today's world technology

And glad that I was born in this era

Kinect ROCKS!!!!

Back With A New Air

As much as I don't need it, hubby created a few scenarios that I need to have it. The whole day yesterday he was seducing me to get the new Air. I guess other people who have the same gadget junkie husband would understand how my situation is. Anyway, I am happy to see he is happy that I am happy using this lappy =) True that one part it might be useful for me because I can carry it anywhere inside my handbag

I wish I could blog more about Raya Korban. But sadly there's nothing to blog about. It's just that for Raya Haji, the school is close for a week. Hubby also cuti, but he needs to prepare for his new project in Doha next week. Raya over here is one day earlier than Malaysia and I cooked Kabsa rice for raya

I miss to watch the acara sembelih lembu dekat Kampung Losong and I miss my parents' cooking. 

Usually during raya korban, they will cook my favourite daging goreng kunyit. And i just received a news that my neighbour which I knew since I was small has died this morning. Inna Lillah wa Inna Ilayhi Raji'oon. It makes me realize that life is short, and I don't want to spend a lot of time thinking what other people thinks. Whatever it takes to make me and family happy, that's good enough right?

Swooning Over Sony NEX-3

Oh please. Man, don't give me another ujian

Seksa ok!

Dah over one wishlish

 now I have another wishlish

This will never end ok!

I am pulling my hair when I saw this Sony NEX 3

This is the smallest and lightest D-SLR!

With interchangable lenses too!

I am waiting it comes out in pink,

I will pull my hair again

and until hubby would notice, 

"Eh, how come your hair is falling?"

I would say, this is all because of NEX-3! =P

Mode Cedey =(

Was so excited yesterday when hubby ajak pergi cari the

iPad screen protector and cover

Excited nak guna, but sayang...

Kena make sure iPad ada baju dalam and luar dulu,

Baru confident nak guna. =)

We went at 2pm, after hubby dah habis kerja

Then jumpa the screen protector dekat Carrefour

But Burberry, LV, Gucci was closed.

We went again at night

Went into Burberry, they said the stocks not available

Went to LV, they said dah discontinue

Gucci pun takde...

Oh memang takde rezeki.
Padan muka saya yang mengada ngada. =(

Well, it's not the end of the world

In the meantime, I just bought the rubber protector

And a canvas sleeves

The best cover is yet to come bebehhhh

One day ye, I will pad my iPad with a very nice pad! =P

Mode Mengada-Ngada Datang Lagi...

He got me an Ipad (serious gadget ni tak boleh share-share)

So, before I can use it,

He said I must find a screen protector and also a cover

Of course, screen protector boleh cari dekat iStyle

But the cover....memang banyak kat iStyle tu,

But semua saya tak berkenan...

Hubby said saya mengada, and he knew what's inside my mind

=)

Can u guess what's inside my mind?

hahaha...

hmmmmm....yummmmm

~Ashley Tisdale with LV iPad Covers~

But all this casing just like an envelope

Takde function sgt pun

I mean, it should be practical when u are using it...
(as advised by hubby lah)

So that bila guna ipad tu boleh pegang and rasa the leather

So he suggested me to find something like this which is more practical kan?

So google punya google...

I fall in love with this Burberry iPad casing

Macam Zip Around Wallet but a bigger version

So bila jumpa ni mode mengada tu semakin membuak-buak!

Warna apa yg cantik?

Checkered or Plain Leather?

hahaha..... 

or patutkah saya lupakan sahaja niat murni saya ini?

Look Who's Very Happy Berguling-guling

happy dia sampai berguling...

with the NEW iPAD!!!

Oh, and this is gaya dia balance iPAD on his stomach

The displays are very nice...i am truly satisfied with my experience flipping the pages, reading books and magazine on the iPad. 

Not to mention surfing, checking emails, and playing games!

Was so excited last night...

until me and hubby didn't sleep exploring with each other the iPad! =)

Sigma 50mm DG Macro

A great tool to capture everything surrounding me. =)
