Working with DJ Shaz from Traxx FM

2008-07-21T12:01:00.006+08:00

I was a the RTM Angkasapuri with DJ Shaz, which Traxx FM Radio Station located.Previously it was known as Radio 4, Gary Ratnam and friends as we use to remember it before HITZ and friends were around.I use to make dedication and participate in a competition.

Some years ago Sir George Participated in a contest for World Cup Golf which Tiger Woods were featured all you have to do is to give your best impersonation of a wrestler talking trash. After so many participants talking trash and it is finally my turn (I'm the last in the list by the way).. I give it a shot and it goes like this (I hope I remembered it correctly):

"First of all Gary Jabroni, Know your Role and Shut your Mouth!"

"Do you think all you phonys Participants Impress Sir George by sayin !#@$%^"

"It Doesn't matter what you think!"

"Sir George is the most Electryfyin man in Entertainment .....period"

"When Sir George Speaks, the million ....."

"And Million of Sir George Fans Chanting for Sir George's name"

"Sir George, Sir George, Sir George"

"Sir George gonna raise the people's eye brow!"

"and Layeth the Smacketh down with the People's Elbow"

"When all said and done, and when all the dust has settled"

"Sir George gonna walk out the People's Ring"

"and Still the people's Champion!"

"And that's the Bottom Line Cause Sir George said so!"

I was Screaming on the whole line and barely hear my voice, It is that good until I have to do it twice after they announce me as the winner.

Announcing Nikon D700

2008-07-01T23:45:00.008+08:00

Well... I Know most of the Nikon users have already post about this, but I'm not gonna miss the boat.Here it is Nikon DSLR D700

Perhaps the worst kept secret of any recent announcement Nikon has now officially revealed the compact, professional, twelve megapixel, full-frame (FX format) Nikon D700. From the outside the D700 is virtually identical to the D300, albeit for its larger 'full frame' viewfinder, internally it's almost identical to the D3, except for a slightly slower shutter (five frames per second up to eight frames per second with the MB-D10 battery grip).

By comparison it also includes several function improvements over the D3 including Image Sensor cleaning ('sensor shake'), more flexible 'hard button' programming, virtual horizon in Live View and different DX mode indication on the focusing screen. The D700 also becomes the first professional Nikon DSLR to sport a built-in flash. As far as competition is concerned the D700 really only faces the Canon EOS 5D (and any replacement that may be in the works). On sale in July for US$2999 or RM 10,300 body only.

Official Article on D700 here

If thats not enough..Check out these lenses which also just announce by Nikon.

Nikon PC-E Micro 45 mm and 85 mm lenses,Nikon has confirmed two tilt and shift (also known as perspective correction) lenses we first heard of in January this year. There is the 'normal focal length' PC-E Micro Nikkor 45 mm F2.8D ED and 'medium telephoto' PC-E Micro Nikkor 85 mm F2.8D, both of which provide ±8.5° tilt, ±11.5mm shift and 90° axial (rotation) movement and also have the much touted 'Nano Crystal Coat'. When used on the D3, D300 (and we presume D700) these lenses also provide automatic aperture control as well as manual override using the aperture ring on the lens.

Official Article on these lenses Here

Here's something that listed in my Wishlist, Nikon has today announced its new top-of-the-range flashgun - the Speedlight SB-900. The new model features a Multi-step auto zoom covering a 17-200mm zoom range, three illumination patterns (standard, center-weighted and even) and automatically detects if you are using the Nikon FX or DX format. The SB-900 will be available from the 25th of July.

Indiana Jones: Kingdom of the Cyrstal Skull

2008-05-23T13:30:00.004+08:00

Caught up with Jonesy yesterday, and I have to say It's been a while for me to catch such classic type of Movie.The scene, the jokes and the action are just one of it's kind.

The Good:
Well..what Can I say?.. Harrison Ford is back and this time he did it ol'school.Dont get me wrong, Imagine some veteran which trying to blend in to todays style or plot of movies, it just makes no sense.But I had to hand it to Mr.Ford for this, a great film jam pack with Action,Comedy,Dramas and Effects doing it in Classic mode.I've never seen this type of movies in a while.A great entertaining movie and worth to watch.Nothing would go wrong with the tagteam of Spielberg and Lucas.

The Bad:
I believe that the story has a room for improvement to take home the everlasting moments.

Here's my rate
3 1/2 out of 5 ..

Sir George Said:
"Same'o thing busy always..I know some posts already due...I'm working on it.. well two things i'm Happy about..first David Cook is the American Idol..Rock On .. and Of course ...GLORY Sound comin from Moscow!..Manchester United is the Champion of Europe..!!"
