I'm Falling in Love with RICOH!

I've found a very portable camera which the function most exactly the same as DSLR camera. And I’m already falling in love with it since the first time I read the review in the Digital Camera Magazine. Ricoh recently introduced a unique, if not revolutionary, interchangeable lens unit camera system. The type of Ricoh product that catches my eyes is The Ricoh GXR. It is currently the smallest interchangeable lens digital camera on the market. The GXR consists of a sensor-less camera body and separate “camera units.”

Yup, you read that right.

Each camera unit has its own lens, image sensor and image processing engine, which slides directly into the camera body. Each unit has a different focal length and may have a different type sensor than found in another unit.

Currently, there are two lens units available. The 24-72mm zoom lens has an aperture range of f/2.5-4.4 and a 10 megapixel CCD built-in sensor and VGA video. The single focal length 50mmf/2.5 macro lens has a 12.3 megapixel CMOS sensor and High Definition video.

It has No sensor cleaning!

Unlike a DSLR, the GXR sensor doesn't have to be cleaned since it is built right into the same unit as the lens. However, the connectors on the body and units need to be protected from dust when not attached by using connector caps.

How bout the Camera body?

The camera body has what photographers come to expect on a digital camera: function buttons on the back of the camera, a built-in flash and microphone, a hot shoe for an external flash and a large three inch, high resolution LCD. What I love most about it is, it's really portable to bring to any function or to bring along while doing any activities especially for adventure activities that able you to take less taking care of your camera than yourself.

GXR accessories

Ricoh offers a variety of accessories for the system such as an external flash, conversion lenses, an external viewfinder, lens hoods and a cable switch. Not surprisingly, they have custom soft cases for the camera units.

If you’re the adventurous type photographer (I would suggest it to my BF Firdaus Sayang, although he's not raelly a good photographer tho... and he's looking forward to be one....) and you are looking for a small interchangeable lens camera, the GXR is something to consider though it is not at all cheap. However, there are some skeptics that the camera will not catch on so you may want to wait and let the dust settle before purchasing the system.

LOMO Camera

This would be my new item to add in to my wish list for this year. Diana+ LOMO camera. What come across of my feeling about this is that, it's like looking at a majestic classic car and wish that you could walk down to the dealership and pickup such a beauty brand new..... Who could resist the charms of its plastic body? How could i not absolutely love its lo-fi masterpiece photos? Something this beautiful, this classic, and this crucial to the world of analog photography shouldn’t have suffered such an early demise...... that why i really need to have it! Serious!

The most I really want is this Diana F+ Mr.Pink LOMO Camera!

2nd collection would be Diana F+ CMYK LOMO Camera !

Embroidery

Nowadays, it's hard for me to find a good quality of embroidery. Especially hand made embroidery. I knew, to make this, it takes several times to finish. It takes a embroiderer over one month of work to finish one garmet, so intricate and fine is the pattern.There is no sewing machine involved, everything is hand done!! oh gosh! that's hard isn't it?

Last holiday, I went to Indonesia, n found these handmade embroidery blouses..... They sell it at a reasonable price, and they are beautiful. These really suit my style... : ) : ) *wink wink *. I also have a plan with my mom to find a good tailor that could do this unique needlecraft and able to supply us beautiful blouses to sell to people who wants to look good in a great dress... I wish i could supply it with are top quality completely hand-sewn and hand embroidered on the finest gauze cotton with cotton and/or silk thread, they are pure art! InsyaAllah, I wish this dream will come true.... Whatever it is, I will update about this again.

BUT, There's something I have been wondering about something and maybe you can enlighten me. The different between embroidery and cross stitch. Why do (some) people think of embroidery and cross stitching as separate things? I see people talking about how they used to do cross stitching, but then got into embroidery. Huh? To me, cross stitch is sub-category of embroidery, not a category in itself. I know, there's counted cross stitch, but I would still put that under the Embroidery umbrella - and it wouldn't even stick out at the side and get wet!

Then there are other people who, when you tell them you do embroidery, will say "oh so you do cross stitch?"

What is going on? To some they are two different things and to others one is the same as the other. Am I missing something?

The way I look at the hierarchy is:
Needlecraft
Embroidery
Various embroidery variations
Cross Stitch
Various cross stitch variations
Odd leftover categories, like Needle Punch

I think people look at embroidery and cross stitch as different because, though they are similar, they are very different styles of creating an image.

When I started crafting as a child, I learned counted cross stitch first. On the one hand, the stitch was somewhat simpler than embroidery stitches, and the fabric gave me clear indicators where the floss was supposed to go. On the other hand, I didn't have the attention span to count the stitches very carefully, I confused which hole I was supposed to go in when, and I didn't like the way cross stitch looked.And worst of all (to my young mind), it took forever to finish a piece. When I saw video in Youtube to learned how to do embroidery, it was like a whole other world opening up. It was a more fluid, very open to interpretation, and goshdarnit if you don't want to use a pattern you make it up as you go. It feels so different to embroider, in comparison, that it seems like a totally different sport to me.

As to people who say it the other way, it seems to me they are probably uninitiated to needlecraft.

( I will Upload my cross-stitch picture LATER....)

( Please click at the picture for enlargement. So, you could see it in clear the art of embroidery :) )

Alright, Here's the picture that i promise to upload.

This actually a mobile phone key chain cross stitch. I've made it in a shape of butterflies and flowers...

Taadaaaa! I decided to put this chain at my cute little ring note book....

I took off the mobile stripe and pin the silver ring to the book ring... : )

Maybe next time, I should do this some more.......!

Finding, finding and keep on finding.....

It's hard for me to find the good quality of these pins...

At first, i thought i is easy..

but it already more than a month,

I kept on browsing to one accessories shop to another one...

the result disappoint me.

They only sell pins that does not have quality.

it's not shining.

the colour is not bright enough.

the pin's not Sharpe

the material they use is so not quality, it's look like they using plastic.

Last week,

I tried to look at the shop that i used to buy these pins.

The shop is selling varieties of accessories...... and it a well known shop.

Surprisingly, the sales person, was so surprise when i told her that i'm looking for these coloufull pins, that usually use to pin hijab, to make sure the hijab is always in good shape at the head.

and she, malay, stright away said,

they do not sell it, her sound like wanna telling me that they never ever sell it before.

it's kind of they only sell hair bends, ribbons, other head accessories, and make-up??

gosh! am i making mistake? i guess not!

maybe they stop producing this product, seems the only people who use it are only the Muslims..

the uses of these is only to use it for your hijab.....

okay... whatever.

Alright......

Then, i decided to look at the shop that selling tailoring materials.

the answer is just the same....

disappointment.

Remember Me?

Loved this story! I really enjoy Sophie Kinsella's books and this one did not disappoint.

Interestingly, I didn't have huge hopes, but once I got into it, I thought it was well written.

It was a touching account of a Lexi, a young woman who awoke with no memory of the last three years of her life and they were pretty significant years. She has to piece together not just what was going on , but who she was. There were some good comical moments, like when she finds out about Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston, but it really made you think about how self centered people are. It was amazing how many people did not grasp the consequences of someone not remembering a big chunk of their recent life. I think that there was definitely some unbelieveability going on because as the person with amnesia, she should have or I should say, WOULD HAVE likely been more forthcoming about the issues she was encountering rather than just going about her business without letting on to people the struggles she encountered. (This story i can say it similar like 'Samantha Who?' the TV series). But, it's not supposed to be the great American novel. It's supposed to be fun and it really was.

NOW IT'S IN MOTION PICTURE! it already came out last Friday...

I can't wait to see it with my loves one!

BUT...... WAIT!.........

I think, this is not really from Sophie's masterpiece. This move is definitely different from the book. They only share the same tittle........

hurm.... by the way...

Here is the official synopsis of the film:

In the romantic drama Remember Me, Robert Pattinson plays Tyler, a rebellious young man in New York City who has a strained relationship with his father (Pierce Brosnan) ever since tragedy separated their family. Tyler didn’t think anyone could possibly understand what he was going through until the day he met Ally (Emilie de Ravin) through an unusual twist of fate. Love was the last thing on his mind, but as her spirit unexpectedly heals and inspires him, he begins to fall for her. Through their love, he begins to find happiness and meaning in his life. But soon, hidden secrets are revealed, and the circumstances that brought them together slowly threaten to tear them apart. Remember Me is an unforgettable story about the power of love, the strength of family, and the importance of living.

Why didn't I seriously learned to play guitar before?

doing business??

About an hour ago, my father suggested to me to run a business....

alright... that's a good idea.

But, what kind of business?

I've been thought before it is good to sell something that i am interested in... such as doing business in clothing line, or involving in service industry i.e teaching swimming at the same time i could sell swimming and water equipment :).

He asked me to think weather i'm interested into business that his friend suggested to him. Then, he said, the business that had been suggested is like sort of multi level marketing (MLM).

Hurm..... when he said MLM, i'm sure... positively sure, it's look like, i DO NOT like it and I'm NOT INTERESTED into it... By the way, Thank you papa.

Then, without given any respond, he straight away asked me to have a look at this web :-

After looking at it, only a few front page words and pictures, in conclusion....... I'm not gonna proceed with this Business..... =)
