Small Web Project Done

Finished working on Canon's EOS Academy microsite today. It is a small scale project that I have been working on for 10 days. This microsite is about EOS Academy course offering where Canon run it's training and coaching programme for DSLR savvy people. My task is to revamp the whole site rewriting whats not readable by search engine to readable ones. Being a 'true organic', this site has no flash. I am not a believer in flash despite the fact that many Malaysian company websites love...

Wow, this is coming waaay to fast for the fans. War for Cybertron is just around the corner releasing soon with its gaming franchise and toyline(?). Amidst of surfacing protos, it is positive that WFC will be on our shelfs along with the newest cartoon (title unknown). And today the breaking news in show biz is the announcement made by Bayhem about shooting TF3 in May when the script is not even finished yet?? I hope Bay is not rushing things to disaster just like he/they/it did for TF2...

Splinter Cell Conviction

Game time anyone? (Kudos Tom Clancy). Damn I miss my gaming days! This game is actually a prequel to the earlier Sam Fisher manhunt. In this one, 2 agents were assigned to go after a Russian militaryman gone bad. Their mission is to stop this Russian guy from selling off those advanced warheads to black market. In this videos, Splinter Cell Conviction's director Patrick Reading guides viewers through the "Prologue" the co-op story of the multiplayer game. The second video is the official...

Transformers 3 Leaked Script

Well, I am not sure how to put this, why the hell someone would want to write a 126 page PDF ebook and 'distribute' it around like a real storyline just to have another party claiming it was fake? Bay and co had played the same pattern of psychological games with fanboys before and when people were convinced it was fake - BANG! Bay did it based on the supposedly 'fake' storyline. I have read this ebook with much interest, and to be honest the storyline is good - too good to be true, but...

How to Solve Magento Login Issues

I was in the midst of testing Magento as required by a client as my 'offered' expertise in Wordpress and Joomla does not tally with the client's requirement of a solid ecommerce package. Wordpress win hands down for the best experience in blogging with superb SEO capabilities and Joomla excel in being a versatile CMS minus the SEO aspects of it, but both platform does not suit my clients' ecommerce needs. After scouring around for a number of ecommerce packages, I then decided to get down...

TF3 Will Be Emotional Bay Says

Movie sequels should be accumulating climaxes, and unleashing all on the epic's ending. However Michael Bay is being bold this time by declaring it early to the fans that TF3 will be less action and more emotion? What the fuck? I am not sure how to react. Sad? Happy? ROTF has plenty of action, and if TF3 is going to cut half of those scene, is like making love half way being hampered by your suddenly flaccid dick! ROTF has made it to the number 1's prior to it's DVD & Blu-Ray release....

Visit to Sungai Klah Hot Springs Park

Sungai Klah Hot Springs Park (SKHSP) is new to me, but Sungai Klah itself is not. Since it's inauguration in 2003, I only heard about this place popularity via the news. Sungai Klah brought lots of memories of my old scouting days in secondary school where we used to camp in Lata Bongsu, a small rapids (small waterfall) situated across the road from SKHSP. There was a camping ground that we used to camp and we jungle-trekked at night around the plantation. Back in my scouting days in the...

Canon EFS 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS

This lens is a baby from my baby! I have been eyeing this ever since I was in the UK, but can't effort it just yet as I just spoilt myself for some other DSLR treats. This lens came to me like a candy on my birthday. Well, why is this lens a best selling lens especially in Malaysia? It is because Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS lens is a small, and light telephoto zoom with a long focal length range. It matches many other zoom lens that are meant for general purpose uses. For those who...

Canon EF 50mm f1.8 USM

I acquired this as a birthday present from my girlfriend. It was not on my wanted list as I have already got the EF 50mm f/1.4 that is good enough. However, I am not taking this lightly as this has became one of my precious lens. The Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II replaced the EF 50mm f/1.8 in 1991. Because of its low price but relatively high optical quality, this lens has excellent value. It is constructed with a plastic body and mount and has a very simple design. To those who don't know, this...

Transformers Revenge of The Fallen Convention in Queensbay Mall

Revenge is coming, and Penang was the host for the biggest Transformers convention in Malaysia this year. In 2007, Cineleisure in Mutiara Damansara became the witness of the first ever Transformers expo, and the Trans-mania kick-started from there. For the period of two years after the first movie, Malaysians have been fascinated with Cybertronian factions known as the Autobots and Decepticons. The craze go on, and not admitting defeat, Queensbay Mall transformed itself this year to...
