Fasting month..

2010-08-10T18:56:00.004+08:00

Good Day! I have been pretty busy with college and it has been great. Making new friends as well as learning new stuff. My schedule is pretty alright but some days I am pretty much packed with classes the whole day. This coming few weeks will be pretty excited. All the seminar and quizzes.

Since fasting month is around the corner. I found this while surfing lowyat kopitiam. Look at it and somehow it reminded me the meaning of fasting. Well, it teaches me about patience, humility as well as spirituality. It also teaches me not to scold and say bad words for 1 complete month. HAHA. Anyways, I would like to wish each and every one of my muslim friends a Happy Ramadan.

Will be looking forward for more Ramadan market, food, Hari Raya, breaking my fast with all my friends as well as enjoy this holy month. Remember to invite me for dinner and I will invite you for mine. HAHA!

Well, thats about it. I have a few more blog post waiting for me as well as events coming up. Will see how it goes... :D

MTV World Stage 2010

2010-08-02T17:27:00.007+08:00

Last Saturday I went for MTV World Stage 2010. I would like to thank BlupBlup and Celcom for the passes! It was raining heavily and despite the rain, many still made their way to Sunway Lagoon to catch their favorite artist LIVE! Bunkface. Tokio Hotel. Katy Perry. Wonder Girls.

Bunkface was the first to rock out the stage during the MTV World Stage with their song Prom Queen. Everyone was singing along under the rain.

After their performance, I sent a few tweets and it appeared on TV. After the concert, many said they saw my tweet. Not bad ehh. Did you? :)

After waiting for 10 days. I means few minutes, wonder girls came out on stage. *I want nobody nobody but chu!" I have always wanted to watch Wonder Girls Live. Man they are hot. :D My body went back up to the rocking stage after their performance. The rain did not matter to me anymore.

My tummy was painful as I had not eaten my dinner. Listened to Tokio Hotel for a while and went out to Pyramid f0r my dinner. Filled my tummy and I went back inside to catch Katy Perry LIVE!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO..

Katy Perry came out with her Ballerina outfit and it looked great. I did not feel tired or hungry at that moment of time. I was just moving along with the song. As I am writing this, I am practically speechless. The performance was just awesome. Worth the time, soaking under the rain as well as being squashed by 101 people. Who says Malaysians can't Rock!

Gibson Les Paul! Don't play play :D Always loved the Les Paul shape.

Well, went back home after the concert. Bath and knocked out. Slept until 10 in the morning that day. My body was aching but it was all worth it. Final picture before I end this post! Over and Out.

Pictures by MTV.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice media screening

2010-07-29T12:58:00.002+08:00

A few weeks back I attended The Sorcerer's Apprentice media screening by Advertlets. Thank you for the passes.

The movie was at 10.30am. So I had to wake up early and head out to Mid Valley and suffer the morning jam on the Federal Highway. Arrived early and waited at McD with the bloggers. Bought a huge cup of iced lemon tea and entered the cinema.

A short storyline about the movie. No spoilers here. So you just just continue reading.

Balthazar Blake (Nicolas Cage) is a master sorcerer in modern-day Manhattan trying to defend the city from his arch-nemesis, Maxim Horvath (Alfred Molina). Balthazar can't do it alone, so he recruits Dave Stutler (Jay Baruchel), a seemingly average guy who demonstrates hidden potential, as his reluctant protégé. The sorcerer gives his unwilling accomplice a crash course in the art and science of magic, and together, these unlikely partners work to stop the forces of darkness. It'll take all the courage Dave can muster to survive his training, save the city and get the girl as he becomes The Sorcerer's Apprentice.

After watching the movie, you must be wondering how I felt about it? Well, the movie by Disney and you can expect less horror as well as less foul language. The movie is like a mini version of Harry Potter. You will enjoy the movie if you are a Disney fan. You can see magic casting going around the movie as well as a hawk made out of metal flying in the movie. Something pretty amazing. Wish I could ride on one. HAHA! This movie is entertaining if you are a person who likes more action than talking. I hate those talking movies which can make me sleep.

Even the movie Eclipse,Twilight series. I watched TWICE without sleeping. :D The movie Sorcerer's Apprentice have been in cinemas for already 8 days. So if you guys have not watched it, I suggest you guys to do so. Here is a short trailer for you to enjoy! :)

I give the movie The Sorcerer's Apprentice a big 7.5/10!

Funky Villa Food Review-eCurve

2010-07-23T16:59:00.006+08:00

Remember my last visit to Funky Villa a month back? Well, I went there again to review their food. I would like to thank Ewinee for inviting me. This restaurant serves authentic Thai cuisine and lets see how the food goes. We didn't know what to order so we let the restaurant decide and hit with their speciality.

Hi YinXie!! :D

Soon the food came and everyone started snapping. Well, when you do a review, you are always bound to eating food that is not as hot as before. Before they start serving they served us with lemon grass drinks.

The first sip that I took felt like I have just gotten a shot of steroids. It was pretty good and I somehow enjoy it. I always drink my ice lemon tea with a little bit of lemon grass.

Then the dishes started to come. I shall put pictures and little remarks below the food for easier reference.

Green Curry Chicken- A regular green curry chicken. Not as spicy as the red curry and they were very generous with the amount of chicken. Some thai restaurant tend to put more curry and less chicken.

Red Curry Chicken- Well, I like this dish mainly because I am a person who enjoy spicy food. I felt that this is better than t he green curry.

Mango Salad with Tofu- Very good as starters. Give you the sour taste before eating those sweet dish. The mango tasted very fresh.

Thai Style Otak Otak- Something different. I gives you the slight coconut taste and it doesn't have any fishy smell. Normally you will find otak otak inside pandan leaf but this time its inside a coconut shell. A must try if you visit. I don't think you can find this dish anywhere.

In thai this dish is called Tong Long. It is a dished which has a mixture of popiah, beef skewers, squid skewers as well as Mango Salad. Good as starters and I personally like the skewers. The beef was soft and it went well with the sauce. You can skip the mango salad dish when you order the Tong Long. Comes with 3 different types of chilli sauce.

Both Tom Yam. What makes the red one different compared to the clear one is the coconut milk that they added. Some prefer the to have the coconut feel while some don't. Both is equally great and it goes down to self preference. The clear one is much more spicier than the Tom Yam which is red in colour.

Fish Fillet with tamarind sauce. One of my favorites. The fish was soft in the inside and crispy in the outside. Not very soft but just nice. Goes very well with white rice.

Last but not least, the best dish I have eaten that night. Beef Salad. This dish was just incredible. It had a slight taste of sourness and it really gave the beef a stand out among the other dishes. A must try. Five star!

Bye the time we were done eating, we moved to the sofa area so chill with out drinks. We were indeed full and they asked if we wanted to do a second round. By the look of everyone's faces, we decided to pass. Then came the dessert. When it comes to Thai Dessert, the main thing you look forward to is Mango Sticky Rice. Which is what us Malaysians call.

The rice was not that sticky and the mango was a little bit soft. The sweetness of the mango went well with the coconut milk on the rice. Simple yet tasty.

I then played some FIFA with the PS3 and I felt it was my lucky night. I won all the games. WOOOO.. Guess I still do have my touch. Still needs more sharpening. :)

The photo is somehow not straight. HAHA!

Took a few photos and we went to Williams for Teh Tarik session. LOL

I will be on holiday over the weekend picking strawberries as well as buying some tea at the tea farm. Till then, over and out!

Overall I will vote:
8/10 for the service. Efficient & Friendly.
7.5/10 for the food quality and quantity. Nice and the price are reasonable.
7/10 for the environment. Colorful, cosy interior, clean and comfortable.

B2ST Malaysia Showcase-KL Live

2010-07-21T18:48:00.007+08:00

A few weeks back I went for B2ST showcase at KL Live and it was one great show. Going for the Press Conference at Nikko Hotel,KL. This time I didn't get to meet any of the boys in the toilet like the last incident at happened at Mandarin Oriental,KL. Thank you Advertlets for the passes!

Well, there weren't much pictures compered to the B2ST Fan Meet. I didn't feel so good the other night but I still managed to click a few pictures. Fret not, there is still the fan meet at 1 Utama. More pictures from there to come. Probably in the next post.

Out of hundreds of fan or maybe thousands, guess who I managed to spot. :P

The management was pretty bad for this event. I think I heard that a number of people fainted and complained that they were let in an hour late when the invite they got said at 7.

Introducing themselves to the crowd. You can see they are pretty excited to perform live in Malaysia!

Shock Shock!!

Mystery! Mystery! The crowd at the venue was amazing even after all the delay caused. Everyone sang along as well as scream until top of their lungs.

Somehow I like this picture when I view it. It gives me the feel to dance along to their song. :)

Bloggers at B2St Malaysia Showcase! :D

Autograph session with the fans who were there that night.

Hang around KL Live for a while and I headed home after that. Managed to leave the place without any jam. Till then, over and out.

Oh yeah, the next post will be about Thai food. Can't wait to burn my tongue with the hot and spicy Tom Yam. Slurpppp..

Tokio Hotel Live in Malaysia at 1 Utama-Teaser

2010-05-02T20:17:00.008+08:00

Yesterday night I posted a picture of Bill Kaulitz(above) and everyone was re-tweeting that specific picture. My flickr views went sky high and even beat my blog's traffic. First time in my life something like this happened. Maybe it is just all the fans wanting a nice picture of Bill. I myself enjoy every part of the concert when you have to take pictures as well as rocking at the concert venue. I shall not bore you guys more and get straight to the point. I would like to thank Joon Meng, for giving me passes to catch Tokio Hotel live as well as Advertlets+TM for giving me the chance to attend the event.

I update my Flickr pretty often. So yeah! Have fun viewing all the photos and have a nice day. Over and Out! :D

iPhone 3GS facing antenna issues like the iPhone 4?

2010-07-20T00:00:00.001+08:00

With the recent hype of the iPhone 4 release in the US market. There were various problems being faced by users around the world. One of the biggest or well known problems is the antenna problem where signal bar will drop when you hold the iPhone a certain way. Well, there have been a debate on if people should buy the phone or wait for the next refresh or put a bumper and leave with it.

A few days back, Apple demonstrate a couple of smart phones like the BlackBerry 9700, HTC Droid as well as the Omnia II by Samsung. Well, I am not going to talk about any of this 3 brand as I don't have the phone with me do to a proper test.

As you all know there is also a demonstration regarding the 3GS signal drop and I decided to try it out. As you all know the antenna on the 3GS is right behind(text area). Here is a video of my test:

So what do you think? There are many 3GS users who said that the iPhone 4 is facing antenna problems and their 3GS is not. Well, I think most of them does not know that their 3GS has the antenna problem as well as contemplating that they will wait for the next refresh.

I think that if you really want it, go for it. Don't make the antenna issue a problem for you. Well, everything you buy in this world has a problem. It is just a matter on how you see it. Why do people still buy the iPhone 3GS when the phone face the same antenna issue?

U-Kiss Malaysia Promo Tour 2010

2010-07-19T11:14:00.003+08:00

A few weeks back, I attended U-Kiss Malaysia Promo Tour at Kuala Lumpur Convention center. The crowd on that day was just insane. Thousands of people queueing up just to see U-Kiss. Before I start, this will be a long post filled with pictures and the least amount of words. HAHA!

The crowd at Kuala Lumpur Convention center. U-kiss promo tour is one of those events that really have good coordination between the artist as well as the fans.

The night started with some games with the fans. Fans get to hug, as well as shake their hands on stage. The atmosphere was indescribable. Fans cheering here and there as well as laughter.

Ryan from One FM is the MC for that evening.

DongHo blowing the candles of his Birthday Cake!

After all the playing and joking around, they finally sang!

Later that evening, they had an autograph session. Those who bought VIP tickets will get their CD autographed by U-KISS and those who bought the normal tickets will get a CD given out by U-Kiss.

Fans getting ready to get their CD, autographed.

Tons of presents/gifts being packed into boxes from the fans for U-Kiss to bring back to Korea.

Peace! :D

Well, before I end this post, here is some candid photos for you guys. Have fun :D

Latest Digi iPhone plan

2010-07-07T18:26:00.011+08:00

Here is it. After figuring out for few hours, I finally understand the new iPhone 3GS plan offered by Digi. As you all know, the new iPhone 4 was released a few weeks back and it has been a hit. Demands were more than production units. Well, I am waiting for mine. Hopefully. HAHA. Well, as you all know I am using an iPhone 3GS from Digi as well. This post is not to talk bad about Digi.

It is more of helping users understand the way the market revolve and different marketing strategy is done to pull people into buying or selling something. Well, it is part of life. So here is Digi new iPhone 3GS plan. So as you can see from the link, you can see monthly fee being cut from 89(iDigi88) a month to 60 and 138(iDigi138) a month to 90. As you scroll down further, you see the phone price being cut as well. Sounds Good?

Here is the deal.

We take iDigi88. Now reduced to RM60
Saving RM88 - RM60 = RM 28 x 24 months = RM 672.00!

So that means you will be saving Rm 672. So far so good?

With iDigi88, the 3GS 32GB price is RM1,790

But when you click the payment page. You can see that

You will be paying RM 2462 for the plan for iphone 3GS 32GB when you subscribe with Digi using a credit card/cash.

If you subtract RM 2462 from the iPhone 3GS price which I mention earlier, RM 1790

You will get a total of Rm 672!

So where does this RM 672 come from? Well it is from the 672 which you saved from plan cost.

In simpler terms, the discount that Digi offered is actually not a discount. You pay the Rm 672 as discount upfront which is included in the total of RM 2462. They want to make you think that you are actually paying the iDigi 88(Rm88) plan for a cheaper price.

You are bound for 24 months contract when you buy from Digi.

Overall, you are actually paying the same price as the previous price before offered by Digi.

It is like 1+1+6=8 and 1+1+(2x3)=8.

Edited:

One of my readers told me they didn't understand the plan after reading

So here is a simpler format. I tried my best for you guys to understand

If you still don't feel free to comment below or read my reply to Kevin Tan. :)

Previously :
RM1590 + RM88 x 24 = RM3702

Now :
RM2062 + RM60 x 24 = RM3502

Super GT 2010

2010-06-30T17:23:00.004+08:00

A few weeks back, I went to Super GT with Mynjayz, JonYKT& Josh together with my dad. Every year I will go to Sepang for F1 as well as Super GT. Well, that is the difference? Well, the cars are different as well as the GT Girls. HAHA. So it was a sunny sunday morning with clear blue skies and we stroll around the mall area.

There were a few booth promoting their own products like Denso and so on. So we starting snapping. Just to warm up the camera as well as to support out local girls. :D

When you come all the way down to Sepang, you must also camwhore right? HAHA

So I left the guys and went for the Paddock walk. Well, it is the only time that you can get up close as well as have a chat with the GT Girls. Only if you know how to speak Japanese. LOL. There was hundreds of photographers trying to take pictures and you have to squeeze with them if you want your pictures. Well, it was worth it and I must say it is fun.

Zent GT girls. Well, I think she is the hottest this year. What is your pick?

Well, I don't know what outfit she is wearing but you should get the idea. :P

Want more GT Girls?

Wait...wrong picture..

So I walked the whole stretch of the grid to snap a couple of photos and left the place after that. So here are the photos:

Cars? Anyone?

Driver and their team's GT Girl! :)

So I left the grid and made my way to the grandstand. Went to my favorite spot so I can get a couple of nice shot before experimenting different spots. Sadly this year I didn't get any pictures of flames coming out of the cars muffler.

Cars. Cars. Cars.

Well, I was getting bored with the panning so I went back to the main stage at the mall area to watch the GT Girls go on stage and give out prizes to the crowd from their respective teams.

Saw this lady while walking. 300mm F2.8, one of the most favorite lens among users.

Zent GT! Ahh...

Then..

The best part! We took picture with the Zent GT Girls. HAHAHA!!

Well, then I left the the mall area and went back to catch the final few laps and the prize giving ceremony.

Well, Calsonic Impul team won the Super GT Championship.

Well, the race ended and I walked out to the mall area to meet up with the guys and we left Sepang at 7pm. It was a hot day indeed. Filled with action,cars as well as GT Girls. Will I be coming back next year? Of course I will! Hope you enjoy the photos and also that is how I spent my Fathers Day with my Dad! :D HAHA

Arigato gozaimas........

U-Kiss Press Conference

2010-06-25T11:33:00.004+08:00

Last Saturday I made my way down to Mandarin Oriental, Kuala Lumpur to photograph U-Kiss Promo Tour right here in Malaysia. Well before we get started, do you know I am under or you can call it working under a radio station called SEOUL FM. SEOUL FM is basically a radio station that plays Korean music 24 hours a day which you demand without any ads or crap related stuff that you hate.

Kiseop and SooHyun

Kiseop, SooHyun & Kibum answering a few questions from the media

Back to U-Kiss, so I was at Mandarin Oriental getting ready to sign up and this guy who looks like a korean guy smiled at me. Well, I smiled back at him without knowing who he was. I have to admit, it is hard to differentiate korean singers because they look all the same with different hairstyles. I only knew he was one of the U-Kiss member when I entered the press conference.

Alexander, he speaks 7 different languages!

So the Press Conference started off with short explanation about how U-Kiss was formed and a few Questions and Answers was thrown around the room. So I was just snapping here and there and few pictures was taken. As usual nothing much really happens at Press Conference. So I just left the place and headed down to Kuala Convention Center. Well, thats about it.

All 7 U-Kiss members is right here in Malaysia!

Want to see what happens at the Convention Center? Check back again tomorrow!

Funky Villa Launch at E-Curve

2010-06-16T11:47:00.002+08:00

"Funky Villa is an authentic Thai cuisine and wine room offering unpretentious dining & chilling out experiences in a Thai Costal Resort environment. The 5,500 square feet restaurant and bar is open from 12noon to 2am on weekdays and 12noon to 3am on weekends."

Thanks Ewin, for inviting me to the grand launch of Funky Villa at e@Curve!

The graffiti wall at Funky Villa giving the atmosphere a fun feeling for family and friends.

The food and drink for that night. Well, they only serve starters that night.

Some finger food to kick off the night. Well, they had some fish/prawns cakes on the serai and you dip with Thai Chili Sauce. The feeling when it melts in your mouth is just great.

BBQ Skewers which MissyCheerio ordered! It is pretty good.

Every Thai Restaurant will have Pad Thai and it is a must. It was good. They put a lot of nuts inside and it is something I usually look forward to. Everything is pretty decent and I would definitely try again the next time.

There was a pole dance, salsa dance as well as other performance and games that was prepared for us that night.

Ewin in action. Drinking beer from a milk bottle! The way he drinks is as good as he plays his yoyo! HAHA

Leonard couldn't help himself. So he decides to go for it with the help of Ellie(MissyCheerio)!

Our table. There was free flow of Tuborg throughout the night!

Group shot of at Funky Villa! Fisheye style~

Foursquare Day-Tune Hotel(Kota Damansara)

2010-06-18T14:37:00.003+08:00

Two days ago I attended a Foursquare World Meetup Day with Tune Hotels. So there were about 300+ different meet up in 64 different countries. That is quite a number isn't it. Well, I have been using Foursquare for about a year now and checking over 300+ times.

Well, Foursquare is basically a something which allows you to check in at places you visited. May it be a cinema or a restaurant. So there can be 100 or 5000 people checking in at that specific place. Then there is another thing called Mayorship. Mayorship is obtained when you check in at that place you visited the most. An example would be an Apple Store in LA. You check in 17 times and the other check in 16 times. This means you are he highest check in and you will get a mayorship. When the other person check in 18 times, you will lose your mayorship because he/her has more check in that you at that place.

My Mayorship and Badges!

So what is so special about mayorships? Well, restaurants nowadays are offering discounts or even free food if you are the mayor of that place. Different places have different offer. Not every restaurant you visit have it.

Foursquare helps to promote your place to other people and they can give tips to other people if they are satisfied or not. You can also collect badges when you check in. Lets say you visit 5 different Starbucks, you will get a Barista badge.

So at 7pm, everyone came to Tune Hotel(Kota Damansara) to check in. The first 50 check in will receive a goodie bag. A RM 50 SPA voucher as well as T-Shirt,Cap and a 2 Days 1 Night stay at Tune Hotel.

Foursquare-ers who were there that night!

It took us nearly 50 minute to get 50 people to check in and get the swarm badge. Well, I already got mine few months ago so this time I was just helping out with my check in.

Tune Hotel's tagline is "5-Star Sleeping Experience for 1-Star Price. Affordable, Clean and Safe!". They have 5 branches in Malaysia itself and 2 overseas(London and Indonesia). Tune Hotel was build in Damansara mainly because of the facilities available between a 200 meter radius. Supermarkets, schools, restaurants and so on.

Later on that night, everyone headed out to Bangkok Wasabi for some Thai Food! The food is pretty good there.

Everyone is happily eating their thai food. Green curry chicken! :)

Chillex Cafe-Opening

2010-06-17T14:08:00.000+08:00

Hello Hello :) A few days ago I went to Chillex Cafe for their opening. Well, it took me 30 minutes to find the place and with a little bit of luck as well. I was kinda late though. Better late than never! Well, this cafe is basically a place for friends and family. Very friendly environment.

The food portion is pretty big. I can't remember the name of the burger but it was great. 8 inches tall if I am not mistaken and going for 20+ ringgit. So if you have a big appetite, you can go for it. I was challenged if I could finish the burger in 20 minutes. Do you think I can after 32 scoops of Haagen Dazs at Solaris end of last year? The burger and hotdog taste pretty good. Big and juicy just the way I like. HAHA

The four partners as well as the chef!

Toys Story 3 Screening

2010-06-15T10:11:00.000+08:00

Few days ago I went for Toys Story 3 Screening at Mid Valley with a bunch of Advertlets Bloggers. So they had a meet and greet with Woody and Buzz as well as a short speech from TM and the CEO of Disney Malaysia. Everything well pretty fast and well organized. The meet and greet costumes was specially flown from Hong Kong just for this event. How awesome is that!

Anyways, the event started with an introduction about the movie as well as some games from Azura from Disney Buzz.

Then it is time for the speech. Thank You Mr. TM for giving me the chance to watch this movie 5 days earlier than the release date!

So Buzz and Woody came onto the stage to officiate the launch of Toys Story 3 in Malaysia!

This time you will see more action as well as new toys! I won't post any spoilers this time but you guys have got to watch the movie. I am just out of words as I type this post. There will be many touching moments in the movie and lets just say there was some who cried. So remember to bring your tissue aite! Loved Buzz spanish mode. "Buzz Lightyear, al rescate!". Overall, it is a great movie.

I give it a 8.5/10! :)

Thank you TM,Disney as well as Advertlets!

Sony NEX 5 Review

2010-06-05T09:52:00.024+08:00

Thanks Advertlets as well as Sony for inviting me for the Sony NEX Launch at Teeq Brasserie, Lot 10, MALAYSIA. The event was indeed an organized one filled with games, lucky draw as well as food for everyone. Not to forget the launching for the NEX camera. This launch was catered for Sony users who wants to experience the new dimension of Digital SLR. Both cameras(NEX 3 & NEX 5) are nearly identical. The higher-end NEX-5 composed of magnesium alloy, and the NEX-5 offers full HD AVCHD video recording.

Both cameras come in kits with either an 18-55mm or 16mm pancake prime lens. It also allows you to change your lenses with non E-mount lenses using an adapter. So that means you can put a 70-200 F2.8 G lens on the NEx 5. The photo quality is really good for its price. One thing that I like is the 18-55 kit lens is pretty sharp, but you can see slight distortion at the 18mm range. The number one thing that impress me is the 7FPS on this little fella. So small yet so fast. When I put the camera on my hands, it feels great. Small, light and very solid.

Sadly this camera does not come with a build in flash. So it uses an external flash which can be fitted on the connector on top of the camera. Another thing that I dislike is that, the flash does not allow ceiling bounce. It only allows you to shoot directly to the subject which can be pretty harsh.

The video on the NEX 5 is quite noisy but still acceptable. The autofocus on the NEX is something not I expected. It hunts under the low lighting pretty often and sometimes it hunt for no reason when it is already lock into the subject. Lets hope sony will do something about this in the upcoming firmware update. If not this will be one of the main reasons for me to get my hands on the NEX 5.

This camera allows you to do sweep panorama as well as HDR on the autoHDR mode. In july, sony will be releasing a new firmware for its NX5 which allows you to to view 3D panorama pictures on supported 3D TV.

Overall I am pretty impressed with the camera. The picture quality, build quality, sweep panorama and auto HDR. So how is it compared to the Alpha 550? Well, I can say there are some pros and cons for both cameras. Like there is one video on the NEX and not on the A550. The noise control on the A550 is better than the NEX. Both camera are priced nearly the same. So will the NEX take over the new generation of DSLR or the old huge body will still dominate the market. For me, I will go for the old huge body anytime. Why? Better noise control and I it feels much better in my hands. Well, maybe the weight will be a problem. But hey, I still get the pictures I want.
