Hat Yai Trip~Part 1

This weekend was a Deepavali festival
we went to Hat Yai for a walk and sight seeing...
If you plan to have a short and cheaper trip
to nearby country...
Hat Yai is one of the best choice...
Things are cheap and lots of choices...
guess what...
All the aunties and ladies going to crazy in this big market...
Lost in shopping sprees...

Another nightmare is holiday season causing a lot of jammed...
Traffic jam, horrible queue..
Really waste of time and have to soak in the heat of day..
totally unbearable...
The duration that takes about to reach Hat Yai town area from Penang
is about 3 hours provided no traffic jam..
But there is a horrible queue at the passport control side...
Can imagine that the queue is until the main road...


On the way going...

The departure card upon reaching Thailand border...

There was a horrible queue at passport control place...
Some more they custom officer want each people to pay RM1 "Minum Kopi" for
each passport sign... -.-!

The hotel lobby...
Lee Garden Hotel which is located on the town area of Hat Yai...
There are a lot of shops and shopping places around it..
One of the hotel hotspot for tourist...
And it's 5 stars..
but very cheap that each room cost about 100 over Malaysia money...

The money plant...


The lunch session, we were having sky buffet at 33th floor on the hotel..


On top of that, we can have a panoromic view of Hat Yai

The food stall opposite the hotel...
With a huge mango hanging over there to attract people...


See the food is damn a lot!!! Prawns, lobster, chicken drumstick....

The lobster is damn huge... 200 baht each...

And we bought this the deep fried prawns for evening snack...


and also this cannot miss out mango glutinous rice..
So tasty!!!


There are still a lot of photos right after that....
Need some time to manage and editing...
Really tired yet excited about this trip...
and bought lots of stuff as well...hehe..

ACDSee Pro 3 Photo Editing Tool

Today i found a photo editing tool
"ACDSee Pro 3"
I download the trial version and manage to edit the photo...
and the result i got is something like this...



This is the original photo...



I forgot how i do it already...
i just click here and there...
adjust here and there and come out like this...
It's quite a useful tools and very easy to use...
But it's only a trial version...
i hope to get a unlimited version of it...
Anyone using this software?
or where to find the crack version...

Surrogates

Movie day again...
A nice movie would be a good treat for the boring weekdays...
Surrogates, showing since last week
and this week only able to catch it...


I personally like this movie's story line
and it makes me think of another movie...
"Gamer"
Both movie have the same point is that...
Human is the player who controls the robot or any
character in a virtual world...

This virtual world is perfect and making everyone looks
perfect too...
But the one who are controlling behind that may be
a old fatty slut...
This is interesting...

Bruce Willis looks really old in reality compare to his
surrogates which shows people the younger side of him..
and somehow...
not much action of him in this movie too...



Now, looking for tomorrow Thailand Hat Yai trip :P
Wish that can get more photos from the trip...
and have a nice shopping sprees!!!

Tokio Hotel ~~ ROCKSSS!!!!

Today i heard this band from Fly FM...
...Tokio Hotel...
Totally in love with their song "Monsoon"
The audience told the DJ he is being caught by the lead singer..
And told him the lead singer "She is so Hot!!!"
The DJ tell him...
" No, he is a boy"
Omg...I was like "hahaha"
A boy...why the audience can't realize that's a boy..
Can differentiate that from the voice what...
hmmmp....but indeed the his sounds
got little bit combination of boy and girl..
But the lead singer Bill is wearing a heavy Gothic make up...cool!!!
He looks like a girl ~~

After searching the photo of this band...
ah...The lead is singer Bill looks so Gothic!!!
Love it!!!
They are actually German band...
Now getting famous in US ..
They began to record their song in both German and English
since last year...
Check out their music video...
"Monsoon"

I love their Androgyny! I cant stop looking at Bill and Tom (middle two),
their SO beautiful!!!

My iPod Nano

I always eager to buy an Apple iPod Nano...
since i saw the fourth generation came out...
i like its Aluminum cover and also its great music features...
Finally, i got it!!! So excited about it~~

However, the fifth generation Apple iPod Nano already came out recently..
With some additional features such as..
video camera, FM Radio,
and the outlook is changed to the glossy cover
and still with the same variety of rainbow color...
It is so great that Apple has finally added am FM Radio,
which was a feature I was waiting for a very long time.
But the video camera I'm not really fond with...
The Nano's camera can't shoot photos or HD-quality video
and Apple located its lens in the most awkward location imaginable.
Sighzz... I always bring along my compact out so why need the
video camera in iPod Nano anymore...
and i can take better photo with my compact...

Another thing which I got some feedback on fifth generation
is its outlook...
During the first I saw it...
Omg...Why it's not what i expected...
The so called " polished anodized Aluminum"
look like a plastic for me yet it's quite light in weight...

So, since fifth generation is out in the market now..
and the fourth generation is not selling now..
but i can get 50% cheaper than the current price...
So why not i just go for it...
Forgo the FM radio which i like and i can get a brand new MP3 player..
aha... I felt this is really worth it!





~Enjoy the Music~

Crave for Dim Sum

It has been a month i didn't go Dim Sum with parents...
Either i Sunday morning have class or we go somewhere else have breakfast
Yesterday i just told people that i suddenly wanna had Dim Sum..
This morning i woke up..
lots of Dim Sum on table ...
hahaha...
i didn't tell my dad and he just bought it...
So great..
my crave for Dim Sum can finally resolve!!

Dad bought them from Perak Lane Dim Sum Stall...
Seems not bad but a bit pricey...
I love the egg tart and the 烧饼...
The egg tart so big and round..
It's quite heavy too compare to others..
Can feel that the filling is great...

The Yam cake...nice also!!!
I like the sauce dipped with yam cake..


Chai Kui...taste so so ....

Big and round egg tart...
I wish that i can make such a good egg tart like this....

The crust is nice and the filling is rich too...



I had a wonderful breakfast this morning...
after long midnight hungry...
What about yours?
And today is FRIDAY...
weekend around the corner...
~~Cheers~~

Retouching Tools...

I found there are some retouching tools inside
Sony DSC-W230 camera ...
It's very useful where
i can edit the photo i want on the spot...
without using pc...
The retouching tools of course not so perfect like we can do inside photoshop
Here, it's very simple and easy to use...
And can produce expected effect as well...


~Retro Effect ~

~Cross Filter~

~Radial Blur~

~Soft Focus~

Besides that, there are some other tools as well
like Happy faces which can add smiling mouth on the people faces,
Fisheye Lens, and some basic tools like trimming, sharpening and so on...
