Golden Sands Resort, Penang…

IMG_0008

throughout the journey from KL to Penang, even from Penang to KL, maknya depa tidur sesado. i have 1 attitude now, i prefer to sit behind with gegirl in d car, boys will be in the front lah. bapaknya dah tentu kena drive. last time ada gak aku tukar2 driving ngan sirman but semakin lama aku semakin malas nak drive. apatah ngan penangan bahang. our car has tinted mirror but legal version. kalau illegal tinted tu lagi gelap, lagi sedap bawak keter kan….

we got 2 rooms, 1 room is for kids, 2 single beds. tak sempat nak amik gambo proper diorg dah selongkar the goodie bags and sepahkan katil depa…

IMG_0010

kids bathroom, pun ada bathtub. i like this hotel, in fact sblm ni aku pi penang pun dok hotel yang sejiran ngan Golden Sands Resort, Batu Feringghi Penang.

IMG_2867

the parent’s bathroom, air dalam bathtub tu dah siap untuk aku berendam. 4 jam lebih wt 1 stop from KL Penang maunya aku tak nak berendam…itupun diorg bedek2 nak mandi pool but aku x bagi. nak mandi pool ke beach pun kena tunggu ari sabtu.  I highly recommend this hotel to you, kalaupun aku datang ke tanah Pulau Pinang, hotel ni jugaklah nanti pasti aku nak tuju.

IMG_2873

the parents bedroom, tu tshirt merah tu sapa lagik kalo bukan bapaknya yg empunya. kot ye pun nak amik gambo ko cabutleh dulu baju ko tu kan. buat macam kat rumah sendiri plak dia. bilik ni bestlah, katil tu luas…king size kan. tp bangun pagi badan aku dah nak jatuh ke bawah je, si sirman tu kalo tak melasak x sah!

IMG_2880

so kalau korang ada bwk anak2 nak mai Golden Sands Resort, Penang, amiklah connecting room gini. taun lepas aku dpt gak bilik gini but tetiba ngah tidur ehwah budak2 2 orang ni panjat gak katil makpaknya. but this year, entah sedap btul bilik nih, dedua tidur lena sungguh sampai aku kejutkan pun liat nak bangun. eh tapi kan, blanket and bantal kat hotel ni sedap lahhhhhhhhhh! memang first class sangat!

IMG_2877 the internet line pun laju sangat. tak macam kat umah aku nya streamyx yang kononnya bukan main hebat mahal aku bayo tp kekura gak. the lcd tv lam bilik memasing siap ngan dvd player, ha eloklah ye kat depan tu je pasar malam Batu Feringgi, melambak jual. but on the nite aku pi pasar malam tuh, takdak pulak orang berjualan dvd. selamat…

On Sunday we only reached KL at 8pm. lambat ko! we leave hotel around 1ish pm, but berenti kat gerai yang jual laksa segala bagai tuh, and officially bertolak only at 230pm. berenti at 3 stops, 2 coz nak kencing, last stop coz kami nak makan, early dinner. n yes aku bantaiiiiiiii tidur sungguh kat belakang ngan gegirl. wpun ada kalanya gegirl tukar tempat ngan abang, tp sudahnya dia mintak dok belakang gak, tidur ngan maknya lagi sedap.

Ok bout the room rate, sorry saya tak tau, tak buat check pun, but you can call them and check in the internet lah. my trip to Penang was fully covered by my company, a family day to us. Salah satu sebab napa Sirman tak bagi aku benti keje coz at least once a year ada family outing macam nih…sebab company dia mano ada mende2 gini, kalo ada pun hanya for staff n no family included.

this time around punya family trip pun aku tak bagi anak2 aku participate any of the game yang outdoor macam telematch, tetiap taun main, aku tengok mesti nanti diorg kedemaman, panas bahangkan. ngan aku pun tak masuk main sama, so our time is very cozy and bebas bangat. but satu je lah aku kempunan nak makan kerang bakar Penang sebab tak kuor langsung dari hotel for 3 days. mbe next year….

15 reasons for being mad…

i had 15 reasons to be so mad yesterday…:

1. I was expecting something of 4 but it came only 2.

2. My auto schedule entries in RM, doesnt work well, 3 entries were pending as missed schedule!

3. My project still got stuck in somewhere, i cant do anything coz one of the partners screwed up!

4. My 12 yrs old washing machine dah berasap2 motornya…handled over to Sirman but i knew he will take his sweet little time so i smsed frens/neighbours around my house area to ask for the repairman’s no.

5. My red flag is already missed the schedule again!

6. I had to gamble to take my leave for an event but i havent seen it in the dashbaord.

7. My streamyx is acting stupid again and again!

8. My husband is making me angry coz he delays the number 2 and number 4 matters.

9. My hair is kembang semangkuk and my hairstylist have been asking me to meet her but tetiap malam ada je project luaran camne aku nak ngadap muka kat ko Hana…

10. Oh the motor of the w/machine is costing us RM230, so no need to get a new set yet, biar pakai sampai lagi meletup gamaknya.

11 to 15 reasons: i ll keep it to myself.

IMG_3843

And for all the 15 reasons, i wanna apologize to:

1. My husband

2. My business associates

3. My frens

4. My readers in twitter and FB

5. My oh my…..to all of you.

i conclude this with one reason, it s my PMS mood, so tu pasal aku ada mental sket!

My Wedding Photo shoot with Olympus….

Semestinya advertorial entry untuk minggu yang baru, scroll down untuk pencecehanku yang terhangat 🙂

Aku rasa skrg ni semua orang kompom ada digital camera, tak kira la compact atau DSLR. Aku pun mula start pakai compact camera jer, then ade rezeki lebih baru upgrade ke DSLR. Tapi compact camera still pakai gak. Pada aku depends pada apa or suasana yang kita nak tangkap gambar.

IMG21529

Btw gambo atas ni dihasilkan dengan menggunakan camera yang low quality, so tu pasal blur giler, compared than the Olympus PEN-EPL1.

IMG_0020

Then semenjak 2 menjak ramai la pulak dah org pakai camera DSLR ni, aku rasa dlm 10 orang kompom 1-2 orang yg pakai DSLR. Memang tak dinafikan quality gambar dari camera DSLR mmg superb, tapi 1 thing about DSLR ni, pada aku complicated sket la. Nak kena adjust sana sini setting dia, too technical la for me! Tu belum masuk saiz dia yg bulky bagak! Nak bawak merata buh dalam handbag I mmg no-no, tersembul lens dia terkeluar nanti. Even me myself tak penah la bawak DSLR aku tu utk tangkap gambar, kalo Sirman ada yes. Tapi kalo aku sorang2 gi events, compact camera just enough for me, busuk2 pun pakai camera phone jer lor.

Tapi sekarang ni camera manufacturer dah keluarkan compact size camera + DSLR features. Salah satunya ialah the new Olympus PEN E-PL1. Masa mula2 aku dapat Olympus PEN E-PL1 nih, eii cutenyaaaa, lagik cute kalo colour merah. Tapi dapat colour putih yor. So aku pun apa lagik gunakan camera ni for 1 of my events. Dah alang2 dapat, mestilah godam sampai sudah.

P3070042

Mai tengok apa yang kita leh gunakan dari Olympus nih yek…tengok wajah merah tanpa make up, hui serombong tu sket je lagik kita leh zoom yek. Alangkan sirman tak melanding sesajor. Ha ni dia guna setting e-Potrait

P3070085

Mesti kalau aku tak cakap, korang mesti ingat object make up mata ni adalah hasil dari bulky camera DSLR sirman kan? Oh no no….inilah magic from the Olympus PEN-EPL1. Sirman cakap ni lambang logo Microsoft Windows baru 😛 . So you no longer need to carry big and bulky camera in order to take DSLR quality pic 🙂

P3070092

Shoot ni macam cool giler…sebab exactly tol ngan bulky DSLR Sirman yang ada tuh… its actually from the Olympus. Ni shot biasa jer, Auto setting, but looks so expensive kan featuresnya.

P3070138

Ewah abang….! Cepat je ko belajar ek pakai Olympus nih. dia sendiri study yer, takde makpak dia nak ajarkan.  Well, gambar tak berapa sharp, but dia pandai nak off kan the flash, senang gak lah applicationnya, abang yang lom 9 taun pun expert pakai mar….

P3070117

Hitam putih, this pic is straight from camera without editing ya, Olympus ni ada Art Filter preset setting. Yang ni Sirman pakai Grainy Film.

P3070112

Pun hitam putih but lebih pada brownish… Ni Art Filter setting’s Gentle Sepia. Sirman shot nih quite jauh gak nih dari kedudukan aku. Not bad kan? Cantik gambar, sesuai bonar the Olympus untuk wanita2 macam kita nih.

P3070146

The compact Olympus bukan je sesuai utk mak mak cam kita, wanita sejati yer. tapi sesuai untuk anak kecil korang, so bila mana dia tak suka bergambar but kerna dia lebih rela gambarnya diambil sendiri… Dah bolehlah tu bang…self picture sendiri.

P3070120

Sirman menggunakan konsep Art Filter Soft Focus. Sapa sangka gambo ni dihasilkan dari compact camera yer….betul sungguh very the lovely sangatkan. Make over muka tu tak siap lagi, but boleh nampak kehalusan make up tu kan. Specially on the eyes part. Semua setings tu just tukar2 tekan2 button jer. To express your creativity, you no longer need to spend long hours to Photoshop your pictures. Senang baitu 😉

P3070173

Macam tadi penuh gambar2 indoor kan, ha ini utk kegunaan outdoor pulak. Setkan jer for Scene setting pilih Landscape+Potrait, senanglah untuk ibu macam saya nih to shoot my kids photos…Oh jangan betulkan skrin monitor anda….anak2 kecil itu adalah Abang and Gegirl, the redkids!

oooo kamera ni walaupun comes with DSLR features tapi dia tak pakai la ViewFinder, just macam normal compact guna Live View. Dgn E-PL1’s Imager Autofocus in Live View enables you to compose, focus and capture the shot quickly and easily without ever taking your eyes off the camera’s large.

IMG_0006

The other features of this camera ialah Live Guide mode bermakna ko dibantu dengan teknologi yang ada dalam Olympus, macam sesuai bebenor with me yang agak bebal dengan cara2 menangkap gambar. Pakai je Live Guide ha ko dah boleh tembak gambo2 for blogging purposes.  Korang bayangkanlah the DSLR camera bulky tuh, bila nak buat shoot gini kena tukar setting, nak buat shoot baring kena lagi tukar setting, hoi aku jadik model photography pun mood boleh lari lah. Dengan the new Live Guide functionality menjadikan proses pembelajaran teknik photgraphy kita lebih mantap, tanpa memerlukan skills of a pro shooter. Simply select Live Guide and press the up and down arrows di belakang camera to slide through numerous photographic effects. kat sini lah kuasa sebuah Olympus!

P3070272

What is the best thing of this Olympus, sangat indah untuk dirakam buat moment indah ibu suami dan anak-anak. Saat paling aku suka bila selain saya boleh mengcarry handbag ku yang kentang2 isinya, wpun jika aku tak nak simpan the Olympus in my handbag, boleh saja aku slingkan di badan….Isn’t cool? RM wt her handbag but of cos her new gadget Olympus PEN E-PL1!

P3070358

Opps last but not least, of cos la this camera also can shoot video but in HD quality movie, soooo much better quality than video cam or compact camera. The price for this small Olympus PEN E-PL1  – Compact camera with DSLR features is only RM2,499. As for me, the price is very reasonable coz dah tak yah nak beli kat camera bulky DSLR yang mahal2 tuh wt lens or flash bagai, ini pun dah cukup, being a blogger yang sangat active dengan rakaman lensa, I close this entry with our Red Family’s wedding photos 🙂

P3070235

I got to use the Olympus PEN E-PL1 on my wedding  photography shoot 🙂

Short Note: I Do …

Nestle 029

Tell me honestly berapa ramai dalam RM nih yang sudah bertahun2 tidak pernah buat medical check up to your health? Berapa ramai yang tak pernah ada effort nak pergi buat thorough check up deeply? I m not talking bout when u get sick, fever, and rush to clinic. I m talking bout check up yang u are supposed to do at least for once in 6 months. Setaun sekali pun dah cukup baik….

OOoo ko nak mark up hekk!

IMG_2944

a very funny or almost to be my stupid experience. waktu jalan2 kat pasar mlm nih, on our first nite di Penang, adik nak bear Mr Bean and abang nak machine gun pang pang pang! so the price of the gun is RM29.00. i said i want at RM15. dia ckp the cheapest dia boleh bagi is at RM20, tak masuk battery. plust battery sebijik singgit, gun tu kena pakai 3 batteries jadik RM23.

so he gave me the new set, aku dah malas, agreed for 23 je lah.

so dia amik set baru, kat kotak tu ada price tag, tp harga tu dah dimarkerkan. being me yang very the Mrs Bargain kan, aku belek price tag tuh, i can see clearly the price is RM18!

hallo??

ko cakap tadi RM29, ko nak tipu pun agak2 lah jangan bagi sampai kantoi.

apa lagik eh apek, u serius aa mau tipu, ini tulih RM18 mau cakap RM29, dengan battery sume jadi RM23. saya mahu harga RM18 jugak! apek tu macam tak terkata terus ok lar ok lar ok lar...siap ngan battery pun included dalam RM18 tuh. gamaknya dia pun tak sangka ada buyer yang boleh belek price tag yang dia dah markerkan tuh.

kompem pasnih sumer kotak diorg selongkar cabut terus price tag tuh instead of padam cover harga ngan marker hitam. wpun kang korang kata napa x mintak murah lg dr RM18 tu kak red, iskk….demand lah pulak, dah dpt tangkap dia nak tipu kencing aku for RM18 to RM29 pun dah kira mantap.

No lah, i mean dia nak niaga naik harga tu hak dia, tp jangan sampai ada tinggal evidence.

ok apek, see ya again next year yekk!
