My gear(s)!

am personally very happy with the pictures taken with this compact camera (hosting a micro four-thirds chip)! Had done quite a lot of reading before deliberating my buy close to one year ago, and after numerous trials, i'm very happy to say that the XZ-1 is certainly my favourite (in terms of picture quality). nevertheless, i realised that once too often the camera goes bonkers when i change to the 'view' mode after taking a pic (read: display interface disappears and only the view remains). Not sure if it's a bug or not, and it's certainly something that i do not want to live with when i'm outdoors happily snapping pictures away. the resume of this camera? Refer to the pics taken for my Bali and HK-cum-Macau trip! :-) (P.S.: Anything before that was taken with my other favourite compact-compact cam the Lumix FT-1, which boosts HD video-taking capability than unfortunately is not offered by the XZ-1.)

nice poster!

have not had a HK TVB series "captivated" me for quite some time. Maybe 'cause recently most shows are set in present than ancient themes. Being quite a fan of Chinese history myself, i wouldn't say that i wasn't motivated to wiki a bit more on the historical settings this show was set in. overall i thought the show to be quite ok - different; as i mentioned, it's been a while since the last period drama. Plus, it's not a show which requires much brains to understand and have post-show greviances due to unjust replications of history (read: 宫心计 and the likes). a pity laughing gor is clearly showing signs of ageing in the show, and not really in a 'gracious' way. At times, he seems like he is unable to move his move while trying to act out his emotions *pity pity*. oh, by the way, this is not a review, but if you are keen to watch this show, please do! :-)

Hmmmmm...

can't seem to get the stupid blogspot webpage "in-sync" i.e. nothing happens when i press the 'Publish now' button. Yeesh. Shall leave the blog hanging like that, as per my HK and Macau post.
