Can you hear this sound?
Low down, I can hear 20hz which is good enough. But I can barely hear 17khz.
I guess tons of years listening to Def Leppard has reshaped my ears.
My colleague here barely hears 15khz.

Shopping Bug
The shopping bug has almost bitten me.
Suddenly there seems to be too many things I feel like buying.
But I hope I can refrain from doing such for the time being.
Wonder what I feel like buying? Hmmm, for one, Nikon FM2N. Go read about it. One classic camera!
And then there were tools. Tools like the torque wrench. I am even thinking of opening my own mobile workshop. One that goes around.
And then, performance parts for STELLAR. Yummy! That said it all.

Nik Bullen (NOT)
After two years of enjoying my Panasonic FZ5, finally feel that it needs some rest.
And guess what, in his place, comes the Nikon D40.
But, I won't sell the Z, cos it means so much to me already to let go.
This is probably the start of my 1-camera-every-2-years pattern. The FZ5 in 2005, the D40 this year.
What's in store in 2009 you may ask, and what about 2011? Well I have not thought much about it, but I guess I'm going retro. Probably back to film?
Since 1997, I have never pushed my cameras to the limits, and I probably won't, so I think the plateau ends with the D40 as my first and last DSLR. But who knows?

The Beginning
A very pleasant wish to all Muslims all over, good or bad alike (no such thing as a moderate Muslim I am sure)
Happy Fasting!
Hoping to make great all the benefits of this glorious month.
And all you smokers, bawak2 lah berenti. Korang bukan bebudak lagi, pikir la elok2.

Rock Hard
Ever so suddenly my death metal listening season rekindled overnight.
Suddenly I crave for bands such as Morbid Angel, Brutal Truth, Bolt Thrower, Napalm Death, Godflesh and Pitch Shifter, and especially their materials of the early 1990s.
I kept playing them over and over. But at the moment, only when I'm at site. And I will intensively hum the guitar or bass parts of favorite songs.
And such compilation tapes are overplayed; Battle Of Fear, Earplugged, Corporate Rock Wars, Deaf Metal Sampler, The Pleasures In Life, Rock Hard Presents Monsters of Death and countless others.
It's been a week since, and I don't feel like stopping anytime soon.

Mobilization Blues
For me, doing site work is so-so.
But the thing that disinterest me so much more is mobilization.
Choosing the tools, packing the spare parts, checking things, filling the forms, entering the site and the walking (especially when it comes to Naval bases) are such things.
That's why I love to travel light.
But this particular Kelantan site has the worst weight of total stuffs to mobilize.
And yet, I must go.
The show must go on.
