Had one hell of a busy day, and not enough time to tell you all about it.
We went to town in the afternoon to take photographs for my Uncle (see previous post). We stopped on highways to take shots of the landscape; we caught the attention of police officers at the park (I was only taking photographs from under the water feature at the KLCC park!); we caught the attention of MANY weirdos, who thought I myself was one with a very large and fierce looking camera. It was great, to you know, get out there in the field and have a project in mind. In the end, I took a few good shots. Nothing great, but they were reasonably all right.

Taken from that dodgy restaurant. Nice right?I find that it's too hard in a city like Kuala Lumpur to take photographs of architecture and buildings. We're talking about artsy shots, like close-ups of buildings, repetition of the structures etc. It's not easy, when everything is so spread out, and it's so difficult to find a nice building at a nice angle to take in horizontal. But in the end it was a great experience. 'Cept for the part when we had lunch at this dodgy restaurant on the 39th floor of some hotel - we found a leech of some sort in our caesar salad :\ ... Mum couldn't stop squirming after that. Oh, but the view from their balcony was excellent! :D

Oh, after that we went to Lowyat Plaza to look further for video cameras. We found this sweet baby, the JVC Everio GZ-MG505! This is my uncle's birthday present to me for my 18th :)
Teh box! It's just, the awesome. Check out the specs (if you can see!).It was like absolute perfection of a video camera. A 30GB Harddrive for memory, the very spiffy 3CCD lens (which is like, super sharp footage etcetc), and... Oh just look at the website!
Thinking about my 18th birthday, I want to take some time to rethink through what I'd like for my birthday.Another list. Because eeeeeverybody loves lists ;)
- Daniel Craig, or a Daniel Craig.
- Ewan McGregor, or a Ewan McGregor xDDD (Yes, I am totally aware that these first two are so totally impossible!)
- Bond On Set book.
- Sennheiser PX100 headphones, and a pair of Sennheiser's white in-ear bud earphones (can't remember what the actual name is!)
- An easy-to-do/use coffee machine. One that is small, and won't make too much of a mess to clean up. One for the boarding house, to keep in my room. Coffee is going to be my best friend for the entire year. Mm, I can smell it already...
Simple. I took out new acoustic guitar, because I really don't need one. I don't! I've already got one, and it's just fine the way it is. I took out the DS game, too. Although, I quite like the Final Fantasy III on the DS. I think it looks... NO MUST NOT!!
Better be going now. Must. Sleep.
Cheers!
