It's difficult to pick between the two when I am looking forward to the new Fujifilm compact camera with Super CCD EXR Censor...
But I need a camera before the Macau-Hong Kong backpacking trip... and there is no telling when Fujifilm's gonna launch its new tech digicam, arrrrrrrrrrgh!
Parking lots in KK is scarce... we have been fighting each other for a lot at the Jalan Padang car park field every morning... but now, there will be no more fights because the entire parking field has been taken over by DBKK as a taxi station.
We all know how brainless the authorities are... but it is still very frustrating to know they can be this stupid!
Just loo at the empty spaces left...
those could have been money for the DBKK as parking fees are chargeable... and know they gave those all up to the taxi drivers who have well been better arranged with a rotating taxi stand with the taxi queuing up instead of parking there...
The church organised a one night retreat at the Borneo Golf and Country Club some where near Bongawan.
The resort was a pleasant surprise as I didn't expect much... 
Just the entrance and the lobby... 
Crossed the "jetty" to the left and right are the chalet type rooms... and I definitely didn't expect the room to be like this:
Although some have complained that their rooms have no hot water, muddy water from the tape, water flooding to the room... and the toilet that won't flush properly... the stay has been pleasant. The rooms are clean and very comfortable.
There's a safe, a fridge, a LCD TV, and hair dryer!
Oh yeah, and room service!
This is a panoramic view from the balcony of the Club House: 
Not much of a view... just green green grass of golf course!
I ordered online and had my lunch specially delivered from Pizza Hut today!
This "extravagant" Creamy Carbonara cost me RM16.60 and took nearly an hour to reach my dining table (ie my office desk)...
I was looking forward to the promised shitake mushroom but found only green peas in my pasta!
Life... you will never get what you were promised!
Behold the Fujifilm Finepix Z200fd
This model looks really similar to my present Minolta Dimage Xi...
Just my type of design... :)
The specs?
Since I don't know much about photography, if you want to know Click here
The price?
Still no idea yet...
I never fancy DSLR cameras... I think DSLR should be left with the professionals... I'm just too simple-minded to own one!
And why LX3 never appeal to me?
Just the design and the fact that it's a Panasonic...
To me, Panasonic means fridge or washing machine never camera!
Okay, I know I'm shallow, just let me be, ok?
Now, let's see those recommended by daruma (apart from the Panasonic Lumix LX3 he recommended earlier):
Nikon D90 ~ RM3,800 (body only) 
Canon Powershot G10 ~ RM1,700 
Canon EOS 1000d ~ RM1,800 
I am driving my brother's car which is still registered in his name. The car is with me in KK while my brother, the "genuine" owner is in KL... so after I paid for the insurance and road tax, there is the question... how should we go about claiming the fuel rebate.
Claiming cash by my brother personally at any pos office in KL is out of the question as the car registration card is with me in KK. Even if we managed to courier the car registration card over to KL, my brother thinks it's too troublesome for him to go to the pos office, queue up to get his thumbprint affixed for the RM625. (He doesn't think RM625 is worth that much troubles!)
Then we thought we could do it online by using myeg website as advertised on tv/radio. Now, that is the most annoying website! After I keyed in my contacts, it does not proceed to process fuel rebate claim, instead indicate that their staff will be calling to verify the information given. When they finally called, this guy asked my brother to purchase a certain named insurance (linked to myeg) first! That time, we have already paid for the car insurance with another insurance company.
So, we gave up on myeg (not the mention they charge RM6 for processing, and RM2 "convenience fee") ~ not convenient or user friendly AT ALL!
Then, I found out from a blogger that you can claim fuel rebate from posonline for FREE! So I quickly get myself registered as a user... But when I key in the car plate number to make the fuel rebate claim online. It responded with "IC does not match" ... can't proceed. Apparently my IC has to match the IC on the car registration card. OK, in that case, I had to get my brother to register himself as a posonline user and make the claim himself. But even with my brother's correct IC number, the system will revert with "IC does not match".
I later checked the car registration card and found out that it was because the IC number recorded on the car registration card is my brother's old IC number. So my brother inserted his old IC number into his posonline account details... still "IC does not match"... arrrrrrgh!
Then I logged into my brother's posonline account and solved the problem by replacing my brother new IC number inserted in the column for "New NRIC" and left the column for "Old IC" blank...
Just as I expected, the system is designed only to read the IC number from the column assigned for "new NRIC" to match the JPJ system! So only by keying in the old IC number into the "new" NRIC column can the system match the IC on the JPJ record.
OK... now, we shall wait 3 working days to see if RM625 will be credited to my brother's bank account. :)
