I didn’t know when choosing a ladies handbag, there’s so much of both art and science involved. My mum really gave a good lecture.

From the colour, to the straps to the material to size to practicality to brands to age (person’s age) to almost everything…. there’s a lot of wisdom and philosophy in choosing a ladies handbag. Arrghhh.. why so complicated? Isn’t it the more compartment the better? Isn’t it the bigger the better for value? Leather vs PVC vs fabric? Colour like striking fluorescent green or the old plain colour or the glossy surface or the shimmering “Kate Moss” style of material? Singlehandle strap vs double handle strap is also a long chapter on its own. Ultimately of course the price plays a big influence in the selection.

This subject is very interesting as it is hard to get a bag that suits for all occasion… a bag which you can carry lots of stuffs yet trendy and arrghhh…. well, at the end of the day it all goes down to the preference of that person who’s gonna carry that bag.

EXIF stands for Exchangeable Image File Format, and is a standard for storing interchange information in image files, especially those using JPEG compression. Most digital cameras now use the EXIF format. The format is part of the DCF standard created by JEITA to encourage interoperability between imaging devices.

It is the meta info when you hover your mouse over a picture file, a balloon will pop up showing you the date and time the picture was taken, camera make & model, exposure, shutter speed, settings etc.

You can alter or delete the annoying information altogether because these information often make your life harder as some pundek “jern” bastards are snooping over these information and see if you are lazy or not. Don’t let these information ruin your day.

Here’s a link for you to download the program and start editing those informations for a better day.

Oh yeah… the company provided new camera again. This time a Nikon. So.. we have to learn again how to use a new camera. We’re too used to the Sony’s patented interface, we now have to take the learning curve again. Perhaps, Nikon is a better camera…. but in the point-and-shoot segment, I don’t see a reason to compare it religiously. I’m not into any of these religions… Nikon Canon Sony Olympus arrgghgh. Its just a point-and-shoot. As long as it has the inbuilt time stamp and decent ease of use, it’ll be adequate for most of our work. Oh yeah, it shoots in JPEG and AVI mode only.

Man, a whoping 12.1 MP camera but we’re using only VGA mode (640×480). Yes, you won’t believe it but we’re using only VGA mode due to the outdated software only can generate reports for VGA pictures. The developer for that software went out of business (I’d guess) and we’re left with this obsolete yet crucial piece of software to help us generate report in a fraction of time from doing it manually.

Eh… the build is quite sturdy. Magnesium body casing and there’s hotshoe for a decent flashgun. Oh yeah, lets go do some amateur shooting this weekend.

Yesterday I decided to throw away my collection of cigarette boxes that have been sitting in my antique display cabinet in the living room. You can’t find some of these at the shop here. Some are from Africa. Some are from the US. Cigarette box is quite handy for storing AA batteries for the camera and some other small stuffs.

However, I have quit smoking and this collection is going away. My mom is giving it to his friend… who so happen also like to collect these rubbish.

The motorbike that the Germans used during Europe blitzkrieg in the 40s. BMW R75 with a sidecar unit. Anyone still remember the show Born To Ride starring John Stamos in the 90s. That motorcycle show had me grown fond for this German marque however…. not the yankees’.

During WWII, BMW produced the BMW R75 motorcycle with a sidecar attached. Unusually, the sidecar’s wheel was also driven. Combined with a lockable differential, this made the vehicle very capable off-road, an equivalent in many ways to the Jeep. This is a technically advanced machine in which the third side-car wheel was driven from an axle connected to the rear wheel of the motorcycle, effectively making it a three-wheeled vehicle. Fitted with a locking differential and selectable road and off-road gear ratios the R75 was highly manoeuvrable and capable of negotiating most surfaces. It was even fitted with a reverse gear. It was this technological R75 at that time that had the Allied yankees dropped their jaw in awe and instructed the upcoming Harley-Davidson to come up with something up-to-match with this marvel in order to stay compete in mobilisation power.

However, today, Harley-Davidson is the more sought-after de facto chopper touring big bike.

Been mentioning to Szer about my discontentment of not having the Spiderman toothbrush. I bought that Doraemon one because I have no other choice at that moment at Watson. Yesterday went to Guardian in SD and found it. Its nicer than Batman’s. Distributed by P&G, the toothbrush is made in China under license from Marvel Characters Inc. Szer bought it for me as a  get-well-soon gift.

Although the Doraemon’s one have rubber tongue scrapper built behind the brush, Spidey’s bristles are softer and nicer to brush with. Anyway, I love both of my toothbrush. Now I have a reason to buy it and not being laughed for being so kiddy. Yay!

Saw it on a McDonald’s flyer, I went and bought it yesterday. Rm13.99. Another affordable toy to my collection… made for the future little G. Haha.

Here’s a mail box I saw at a collision repair workshop in Seremban. That’s a refrigerant tank if you don’t already know. It makes a sturdy mail box that can withstand all kinds of weather.

This is by far the most interesting toy from Koko Krunch. Venom is cute. There are four figurines in the series… Spiderman, Goblin and Sandman.. and of course Venom. It shoots water.

The last time I checked… it was not free. You have to pay a premium to have it on your phone. Back then, only Nokia 6600 had it preinstalled.

But then, yesterday, I looked for it again and was surprised to see that Opera, the fastest web browser (or so they claimed) is available for my archaiac Sony Ericsson P900. What’s best is that it’s FREE and I’m actually talking about Opera Mini. A slimmed down version of course.

Its a full fledge web browser for you to browse the internet on your mobile phone like you’re browsing on your computer. Its not like the WAP browser which came preinstalled that you have in most of the phones today. Opera Mini supports most of the modern phones on the market today.

This is not a sponsored post. I just want you guys to check this out. It’s really cool. Try this live demo. You can really see your favourite website in it.
