Upgrading to Wordpress 2.3…problem!

Posted on October 17th, 2007 by KhoKing.
Categories: Family.

After upgrading to wordpress 2.30 few hours ago…my WYSIWYG or TinyMCE is GONE! I can only type text and my photo/send to editor won’t work!

I thought the upgrade is easy (it is) and problem free (not so free for me…wasting more than a few hours already trying to figure out what went wrong… ).

Might need to install to whole wordpress again…crazy…

Kaze…flu…cold…

It is now getting cold in Saijyo, Hiroshima, Japan. My wife and I were having very heavy/bad flu on Sunday. We took a good rest and was getting better on Monday. I took another day off on Monday and resting more at home. I am feeling 99% back to normal now.

However, my wife is getting bad flu again today. She has work hard in taking care of Megumi while letting me get all the rest. We cleaned the house today and changed all the blankets…etc., tired and now the flu from bad to worse.

I hope she will get well soon. May God bless and protect my wife. May God also protect Megumi from all these disease and grow healthily. May God cleans our sins and protects us from all evil temptations.

In Jesus name I prayed. Amen.

Digital is FREE CLICKING? Think again…

Many bought a digital camera and said that it is FREE to Click! Think again…

I have clicked around 7k shutters on my D200 since I first bought it new (many are craps). It costs me RM5.5k for the D200.

If I were to sold it now at RM3.7k, I lost RM1.8k.

RM1.8k divided by 7k clicks, each click costs RM0.26. NOT CHEAP at all! Idiot2

I guess I will have to continue clicking it until the cost per click drops to a more “reasonable” value… Tongue

Megumi Reading The Bible (by Siaw Foong)

Posted on October 14th, 2007 by foong.
Categories: Family.

I started to read The Bible Scriptures together with Megumi everyday since last week.

Yesterday, we have read the Proverbs 3: 1~10. I loved this Words especially the verses no 5~7, which becomes my guidance to teach Megumi one day when she starts understand more things. And also my prayers to God that our family will fear the Lord in all things we do. Here the Scriptures say:

” Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;

in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make y our paths straight,

Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. ”

I also pray to Lord that one day, Megumi could share her findings after reading the Bible. Now, seems like she only can “look look and see see” the Bible.

Yet, still I was moved by her “serious face”, how about you?

Megumi:” Have you read the Bible today?”

Canon EF 50mm F/1.2L USM vs Nikon Nikkor Ai 50mm F/1.4S

(Size Comparison)

Here’s some photos of the two lenses side by side. Canon 50mm 1.2 is really huge…not a lens that you will want to carry everyday/everywhere…but the huge size also reflects how much Canon has put into the lens, for the $$$ that one paid!

My wife took some photos of Megumi with Hello Kitty blanket at the bottom. I continue the shots with some higher ISO speed to avoid hand shake. Shutter speed is still pretty low…

Canon EF 50mm F/1.2L USM

Posted on October 12th, 2007 by KhoKing.
Categories: Photography.

I ordered this lens for my customer. The seal on the box was broken, so I was kinda worry. When open and check the lens inside, I saw a dust in the middle of the glass. This is definitely not a new lens. The rear lens mount also looks as if it has been mounted on a camera before.

I complaint to my supplier. They agreed to send a new replacement but it requires 3 days. I was in rush, because my customer needs to receive the lens in Malaysia before flying oversea. It is either I deliver the lens before she flies or a full refund. My supplier doesn’t allow for refund or cancellation of the order, so I have to take the risk and rush it.

Thank God, everything went smoothly. I managed to get the lens to my customer in Kuching from Japan in time. I sent on Sunday evening, reached my customer on the next Thursday. Thank God, He is just amazing!

Here are some photos of the lens that I returned (I circled the dust in red in the 2nd row firstphoto from left):

This is an incredible lens, but will you spend that much money on a 50mm lens? Only for the richie rich.

My wife was holding Megumi vertically up, turned her head to the side and pressed her to lay onto her body. Trying to train her to turn her head sideway when laying down with head face to side.

I saw the scene, very pleasant light and expression of mum and baby…took my camera and snap a few shots.

Harvest Japan 2007

Posted on October 9th, 2007 by KhoKing.
Categories: Church, Photography.

Autumn is always the harvest season in Japan. Japanese rice is what Japanese are very proud of. You can see paddy field always everywhere. No need big space, even a small field of around 3 card parking area you can see people growing paddy on it. Japanese has sufficient rice to provide within the country for consumption, the only food that do not need import from oversea, and can even export!

Here are some photos of the paddy field taken next to my church. Already been harvested a week later after I took the photos.

Japanese people are just like the riped paddy…who are going to harvest?…
