Dan dia datang lagi......

Foto burung helang laut yg aku tangkap dengan multiple shot.. resolusi imej jatuh ke 3 Mgp je

Rasanya lebar sayap 2m ni..

Baru pagi tadi, seperti rutin biasa kalau aku pulang ke kampung, aku akan ke Pantai Leka, Parit Jawa di awal pagi. Sebelum aku memilih dan membeli ikan segar di pasar, atau sebelum sarapan pagi nasi panas dengan ikan asam rebus , aku akan bersantai di tepian Pantai Leka.

Kadang2 aku terleka melihat burung botak, burung bangau, burung2 kecik yg aku tak tahu spesis apa dan ikan belacak. Dan pagi ini, ada tetamu yg menarik, garang dan pantas turun dari langit, dgn kuku tajam mencari mangsa...si helang laut.

Susah betul nak memfokus dan mengambil foto si helang dgn FZ28 aku. Aku cuba gunakan multiple shot, tapi resolusi jatuh dari 9.5 Mgp ke 3 Mgp. Imej tak cukup jelas dan tajam. Aku perlukan kamera yg boleh multiple shot dan maintain resolusi.

Dan Fz100 telah datang dengan ciri2 yg aku mahukan:

• Multiple shot 11 fps dgn resolusi 14 Mgp, 5 Fps kalau dengan AF. Ciri ni penting untuk mengambil foto seperti burung terbang, aksi yg pantas seperti sukan dll.
• Superzoom sampai 24 kali optikal. Ini semua orang tahu, dengan ciri zoom yg tinggi, objek yg jauh boleh kita tangkap.
• Swivel LCD skrin. Ini penting kalau nak tangkap imej dari sudut yg janggal. Contohnya nak menangkap imej dari sudut yg tinggi atau rendah. Aku pernah nak tangkap imej pelumba basikal masa Le Tour de Langkawi dari sudut rendah, terpaksa berbaring sikit.
• Horse shoe untuk external flash. Kita boleh pakai third party punya flash. Internal flash dia tak cukup power. Bolehla pakai flash dgn diffuser utk dapatkan imej yg tak terlalu cerah,
• Full HD video recording. Tak payah beli handycam.

Semua ciri2 di atas memang aku cari. Dan yang pentingnya, aku maseh nak menggunakan kamera Digital Superzoom bukan DSLR. Aku rasa belum masanya aku nak bertukar ke DSLR memandangkan kos dan juga agak susah nak menukar lensa dari macro dan wide angle ke superzoom. Aku perlukan kamera yg kecil, ringan, kos yg berpatutan dan tak memerlukan menukar2 lensa. Memanglah ia tak setanding DSLR dari segi kualiti imej, bak kata org putih "Good at everything, but an expert at nothing". Tapi tak apalah, aku boleh menerima kekurangannya dan mempergunakan sebaiknya kelebihannya.

Nampaknya, Fz28 aku kene masuk Mudah.com kut.....

Blog tentang Excel Spreadsheet...

Aku ada terfikir, kalau aku boleh berkongsi dengan sesiapa sahaja yang membaca blog aku, tentang Excel spreadsheet. Bukan niat aku nak menunjuk aku bijak atau bagus. Tapi kerna mungkin kerja aku ni yang hampir tiap hari bergelumang dgn Excel spreadsheet, mungkin adalah satu atau dua yg berguna untuk dikongsikan bersama.

Aku maseh ingat, betapa susahnya aku nak mendapatkan spreadsheet2 yg tertentu. Buat rumus2 sampai mata pun jadi kotak2 mcm cell dlm Excel. Bila search dlm Google, rupa2nya ada orang yg telah membuat rumus tersebut, dan lebih baik dan mudah pula. Cuma aku perlu customize beberapa tempat utk menepati kehendak aku. Bila cerita search dlm Google pun, bukannya senang nak mencari rumus2 tersebut.

Tapi niat aku ni mungkin tak jadi kut... tak boleh buat attachmnet file di sini. Macamana aku nak letak sample2 spreadsheet.

Lama tak memblog...

..Dah berapa lama agaknya aku tak "memblog". Sejak bulai Mei rasanya, kalau dilihat dari blog terakhir aku. Aku bukannya tiada idea atau cerita nak dicoretkan... cuma aku M A L A S. Itulah jawapan yg tepat, nak disalahkan tak punya masa, aku ada banyak masa, takde layan Internet, ada Broadband 3G walaupun kekadang perkhidmatannya agak mendukacitakan.

Aku sudah jadi malas, itu yg aku boleh katakan. Banyak benda yg nak aku coretkan dalam tempoh tersebut, kalau aku tuliskan sekarang.. akan jadi cerita basi dan hilang kehangatannya. Dan susah jugak nak menulis kembali, sebab emosi, perasaan, dan "bau" cerita tersebut dan lenyap.

Pengajarannya, kalau anda sedang bersemangat dan berselera utk menulis, tulis segera, jangan tangguh2... nanti hilang kehangatannya. Macam orang bercinta jugak kut, kalau sedang hangat bercinta, luahkanlah perasaan walaupun hanya perasan... kerna nanti bila kehangatan dah berlalu, feel utk menyatakan sesuatu sudah sejuk.

Up in the Air....

I nearly missed the flight that morning. Perhaps due to staying late, packing all the stuff and leaving behind anything less useful...Want to travel light. That morning, when I woke up late at 10:30, the panic attack struck me... just frozen don't know what to do first. I want to do everything as fast as possible, ended up nothing done. My heart beating fast and I running around here and there... Luckily, I have packed most of thing earlier. My experience told me, if you ever been hit by panic attack, just relaxed, take deep breath, Istighfar and cool shower...You'll gradually get hold of yourself. And when you don't feel sure you have packed everything and felt something missing... you did leave something. My tiny mobile simcard become Athens permanent resident....Parakalo

I was relieved, I had plenty of time when I reached Eleftherios Venizelos, Athens International Airport. Bought some last minute inexpensive souvenir....

The flight would take about three hours to Doha then another 12 hour to KLIA. Killing the time in between, I open the entertainment display and started playing Sudoku... till I reached level that I couldn't complete... and the touch display was quite irritating...too many people playing with Sudoku probably...

Went through the movie list that was not so latest.... I try "Up in the Air" probably because it's played by George Clooney...Most of you I guessed have watched this movie before and know the story all about... For me, it's the right choice of movie during that moment, even though the headphone does not work very well and jet engine sound most of the time, just overwhelmed the dialog..

A story about Ryan, a professional living his life in suitcase and laptop, flying across US and spend most of his time on air....his job with a resource consultancy company is basically to fire people out of job and deliver the separation package... this movies most likely portraying the current economic situation and job uncertainty in US... You can be working for 10-20 years, hardworking, loyal, productive during your productive age, never commit any misconduct,.. but when the management decide to lay off due low turnover of whatever reason... they will do it, with the shortest notice and hiring consultancy company to convey the execution decree, with professional way of course...

Ryan job in dealing with the peoples the company gonna lay off require him to be calm, professional, in control, empathetic and compassionate... And the two last skills, he need to do it skillfully false...Basically he's interest is only his jet-setter lifestyle, single, non-commitment and air travel mileage prize...And when a young executive try introducing on-line video conferencing method in doing the job, Ryan felt his lifestyle will be threatened...no more air travel mileage and luxury hotel life....So he decide to coach and train the young executive, Natalie, on how things was done in real world.. I don't want to elaborate further.. you can catch up on wiki or just watch the movie...

When we do thing or say thing with false compassion and fake empathetic..... then wait when then will come a time, for retribution to teach you a lesson....

And sadly for Ryan, he has to compassion himself when he found out that the lady he's meeting all this while, is someone not too far different from himself, in term of falsify the perception of others feeling....what goes around will come around...

and after that, Ryan becoming a better man,..less selfish, give thing he want the most to people who really deserved, write good recommendation for his colleague... and still up in the air, but probably with different perspective...

As said earlier, this movies is about the current job uncertainty in US..... and probably want to shed some positive light and enlighten the spectator, so we can better understand and show genuine empathy to anyone who has been unfortunately taken back from their livelihood....

I really don't like the dialog "I am sorry to inform you that your current position is no longer available in this company..."

I prefer (taken from wiki)

"Tonight most people will be welcomed home by jumping dogs & squealing kids. Their spouses will ask about their day. Tonight they'll sleep. The stars will wield forth from their daytime hiding places, and one of those lights, slightly brighter than the rest, will be my wingtip passing over."
