Kang Kong found!!!

Ohisashiburi no Kang Kong, eventually found in Japan!!

kangkong.JPG

(I saw Megumi’s foot on the lower left of the photo)

I know those of you in Malaysia must be laughing at me now, but nevermind, you might not understand how a KangKong lover found KangKong after three years missing of it.

Today while shopping at the Vege stall nearby the eki, I found this!! Immediately took 10 packages without second thought. Well, it doesnt cost much compare to other type of vege, 39 yen per pack, expenssive? I would say not expenssive at all.

This is the first time I found KangKong here in Japan. I don’t think it can be found in the supermarket, in any season. But I always found surprise in this very small vege stall.

Since now is summer, some vege like the cili, sweet corn, ladyfinger are selling very cheap. So eat more vege!

Hmm.. tonight I’m gonna cook a big plate of KangKong Belacan!! Yeah!!

The finished product…

Nikon SB-900 Speedlight / Flash - Initial Impression…a short “review”?

Posted on July 26th, 2008 by KhoKing.
Categories: Photography.

I have the chance to play with Nikon SB-900 speedlight yesterday. Did some simple test and play with it…compared with my SB-800, here’s some of my thought…

The SB-900 is HUGE! Significantly BIGGER and LARGER and LONGER than Nikon SB-800. This is definitely not an advantage of the new flash…besides not so easy to get lost… :P

Here are some photo comparison of the two flashes side by side:
Left = SB-800 ; Right = SB-900

kkk_5372.JPG

As you can see in the photos above, the LCD of SB-900 is significantly larger as well, with more information being shown. The flash head is so much bigger and longer than SB-800, I guess that is mainly due to the 200mm flash zoom gear in the head. (more…)

Megumi fever - 39.1 degree C

Posted on July 26th, 2008 by KhoKing.
Categories: Family.

Megumi got fever today…we went to see doctor just now and the temperature was 39.1 degree C! Her body and head are very hot…but she can still smile and very active.

Doctor said should be one type of common virus infection, the symtom will continue for 3-4 days. No medicine for it…should just wait and monitor. As long as she can play and eat and sleep well, then fine.

May God be with Megumi and protect her…and protect Megumi’s mother as well…as she got cold now…in Jesus name I prayed, amen.

Canon PowerShot G9 Discontinued? G10 on the way?

Posted on July 26th, 2008 by KhoKing.
Categories: Photography.

I just found out today that Canon has discontinued / stopped production of Canon WP-DC21 underwater casing for Canon G9, which means that Canon G9 should has stopped production or discontinued?

G9 was announced on 20th August 2007, about a year old model…which is actually still quite new I would say. However, for digital camera…their life is usually quite short. In comparison, Canon G7 was announced on 14th September 2006, 11 months later G9 was announced. So it is about time for a new replacement model for G9 now. :)

What can we expect for the G9 replacement model? Here’s my speculations:

  • High Resolution LCD (3.0″)
  • Dual Digic IIII  Engine
  • ISO 3200 + ISO 6400
  • 14MP Sensor
  • 24mm (135 format equivalent) wide angle lens

Should be seeing the news in the coming Photokina 2008 (September). :)

Megumi fell down today…heart pains…

Posted on July 24th, 2008 by KhoKing.
Categories: Family.

Megumi fell down just now…hurt her face badly with some bloods…hit the edge of wooden bed…

Lydia was so very worry and cried together with the baby….

We called our brother and sister nearby, asked them to check for the nearest hospital that is still in operation…as it was around 9pm already and most clinics are closed…

Megumi stopped crying after around 15 mins…but it must be really hurt…hurt Lydia heart a lot…as she was (is) very worried…

We went to the hospital together with our brother and sister here in Saijyo (thanks Lee Ming and Wan Jing), doctor checked and said Megumi should be fine, since there is no vomiting or big swallow. The cut was under the right eye, above the cheek, on the face bone there. Must be really painful…doctor cleaned the wound and the nurse put a handyplus on it.

Thank God Megumi is fine…it is my careless for not taking care of her much…Lydia was doing some housework…sorry dear…

Hope Megumi will recover soon, and leave no scar or wound. God with her…God with us…in Jesus name I prayed, amen.

Panasonic DMC-LX3

Panasonic has today announced a new digicam replacing their very unique LX series…the new Panasonic LX3 spotting 24-60mm f2-2.8 wide angle lens!

panasonic-lx3-full.jpg

What so unique about the Panasonic LX series? The impressive and only in the world panoramic view 16:6 CCD and LCD, which captures like no others! 10MP resolution, ISO 80-3200, 2.5fps, etc., this should be everything one would needed in today’s digicam. (more…)

Saw the Titan yesterday…yeah…Minolta Alpha / Maxxum 9Ti

Posted on July 21st, 2008 by KhoKing.
Categories: Photography.

Produced in year 1999, limited production. Some said 500 units in Japan, some said 400 units worldwide, some said 1000 units worldwide…not sure…but what I am sure of is that it is definitely a hard to find limited production and most sort after Minolta film SLR.

Some photos I found from a Japanese store:

minolta-alpha9ti-front.jpg

minolta-alpha9ti-back.jpg

The limited edition comes in a nice presentation box (red silk cloth inside) with a brown colour genuine leather strap.

I am not a Minolta fans, but still I am quite tempted to get this one myself. My local shop has a display set unit for sale, price quite reasonable…new one was selling at around USD3000 in year 1999, sadly…camera doesn’t appreciate over time (except Leica), and Minolta 9Ti is currently at around US$2k in the market for an used one. Mint or like new might still be able to fetch high price, but is very rare and hard to find nowadays.

Should I get one? Maybe I should… :)

This is one of the Japanese praise songs that I love most.

I would like to dedicate this song to Maachan (Ward Martin), our beloved brother in Christ, a British who speaks very well mandarin, a kind loving brother in Christ, a young evangelist sending by God to witness God in Asia…..

Is your Lowepro bag Original?

Posted on July 13th, 2008 by KhoKing.
Categories: Photography.

Lowepro, being one of the most popular camera bag in the market, has become the target of pirates.

Yes, there are many imitate Lowepro bags in the market. How to differentiate if your Lowepro bags are original or not? Take note that only original Lowepro bags carry product lifetime warranty, while the imitate bags still selling at similar or slightly cheaper than orignal Lowepro bags, carry no warranty and no quality control.

Original Lowepro bags have white tag inside the bag with a red circle QC stamp. See picture below:

lowepro-whitetag.jpg

Now you can go check your Lowepro bags, do they have the white tag above? :)
