My DSLR been hospitalized @ Canon Care Service Centre (Malaysia)

It's almost 13 months my DSLR with me in the journey capturing those precious moments till last Saturdays, it gave up on me and does not turn although with a full charge battery. I tried to and it back, ensure the closure for both battery and memory card is properly close as advice in the troubleshooting manual book which comes with the camera but yet, it still does not function.

Then I remember that my camera came with warranty with 2+1 from Canon Malaysia. Then i logged in to Canon Malaysia and called out some of the outlet near to KL city centre to seek professional advice. I told them my problem and their advise me to sent to Canon Service Centre located at Shah Alam. I try to search for my warranty slip in my camera box but fail to locate it. I called the shop which sold me the DSLR and advice me that their warranty copy had been sent to Canon Malaysia and i only need to register it online to enjoy 36 months warranty from Canon.

I'm not sure either i did register but when i check the Canon website, my DSLR yet to registered. So i registered my DSLR on Sunday and thank God that it had been approved. I called the service centre and their told me that i may sent my DSLR to their service centre for them to check on the problem. She told me that since their had a records from the shop that i bought and my DSLR body was made in Japan.

I'd been reading some forums that there are two type of Canon 1000D DSLR body. One is made in Taiwan and the other one is made in Japan. Not sure the different but if it still claimable.

I went to the Service Centre located at Shah Alam and it was a 30 minutes drive from my house. The service centre not only host to servicing canon product but it's Canon Malaysia Headquarters and also a showroom. Since my DSLR was malfuntioning, i can't take the picture of the service centre. When the nice lady check my DSLR, it was functioning for 2 seconds and died. She inserted new battery to it as well but yet it failed to display. She takes notes on my case and checked online either my camera is still under warranty from Canon. Luckily, it was as shown on Canon Malaysia database. She told me that Canon technician will check and examine the problem and once they fix it, they will give me a call or SMS latest by Friday this week, 23rd July 2010. If the technician able to complete, they will call me come to collect from the service centre.

Hope my DSLR will be fixed as i'll be going back to Sibu for my cousin wedding in August.

Super Automix 2010 @ Bukit Jalil

It had been awhile my photo stuck in my hard disk and yet to be posted in my blogs. Where is my passion in blogging gone? Might be cause of my tonnes of works need to settle. Although working from home now, i'm still quite busy with my work.



In the beginning of the month of July 2010, there was an event at Bukit Jalil which is an annual auto show called Super Automix where all pimp ride either low riders, heavy ICE (In Car Entertainment) and fancy moder. Since i just bought new toys for my camera which is flash, so i went there with my friend to catch some photo.

The event was organize from 2nd till 4th of July 2010. We reached there at 12:00 p.m and it was drizzling. For a photographer, drizzling is a big no no as it might cause the lens expose to moist. So, i didn't take any shots when it was drizzling. The ticket cost RM18 per person. We took shelter in one of the booths where UR Racing team promote their product.

When the rains finally stops, we starts to take some photo. Beside car show, there were drifting demo was conduct to the spectators. Please don't do it on public road as it not that easy to maneuver such drifting skills. It may look easy,  but it requires guts and high adrenalin rush.

So here are the pic of the event i took. Hope you guys enjoy it.

Celebrating GOALS with Kampua Mee @ Forum 19 PJ

Last week i’d been trying to find a place called Forum 19 where my friend David which also from Sibu did post on his facebook on kampua mee at PJ. As PJ area is a maze of road for me, i just view the map in a flance from Forum 19 own website on blogspot. You may click here to view the website.

The outside view of Forum 19

It was my second attempts which finally me and my wife manage to find the place. The first attempts i was lost although with the help of my GPS and my Klang Valley maps book inside my car.

When we reach the place, the place is quite huge and it same concepts as Asia Cafe in Subang. The differents is, it got futsal and the projector screen in project to the building located at next door. Just imagine how big it is. According to some, the place is pack with football fans to cheer up their clubs or country. Since now is World Cup Seasons, i saw a lot of the patrons wearing their football team jersey which playing on that night. That night was the match between Argentina and Germany whereby Germany trash out those Argentine real bad.

The projector screen is actually a building wall. 

View inside Forum 19, ample of place to seat but as you can seen on the photo, the table with those plates was only clean after 25 minutes.

Another projector screen inside. There were also few LCD TV inside the shops. They also advertise the Facebook Groups.

Some of the shop operating.

Back to the topic, the food offer at Forums 19 not that much as Asia Cafe but can consider not bad. If there were a lot of stalls, it’s very hard for us to decide as well. This is my experience at Asia Cafe, each time I went there with my wife or relatives, first come in mine “What should i order?” Tell you the truth; I only tried few stalls at Asia Cafe.

As Forum 19 is a new place for me, so my target is the Kampua Mee and finally found the stalls. They called it Sarawak Mee. And the Bian Sip they called it as Wantan. But nevermind, cut the chase, I order the Kampua Mee with soy sauce and chilli sauce. Side order sharing with my wife was the bian sip. My wife decide to order Spicy Pan Mee as the one that sold previously near to my place in Sentul had move to other place which is unknown where.

Sarawak Mee aka Kampua Mee with soy sauce and chili 

Wantan aka Bian Sip in soy sauce and chili

For the pricing, Bian Sip (Small) and Kampua Mee (Large) only cost me RM7.50. If at other shop for sure it will be RM8.50 or more. The taste of the kampua mee, errmmmm....... still ok but can’t beat the one in Puchong which is pure Sibu breed and cooking styles is what Sibu taste bud likes.

The Bian Sip, ermmm... can say quite impressive. Full with meat and the number of wantan is like 7 or 8 pieces.

The Spicy Pan Mee

For the Spicy Pan Mee, my wife told me that the taste is so so. Still can’t beat the one near to my place. Maybe i should bring her to the one came out in Ho Chiak at Jalan Ipoh near to the bridal shop we went for our wedding photo shoots last year.

Verdict of the place itself, it big and good ambience especially watching football match as there is a very big screen and the owner put a lot on effort to invest on the sound equipment. The bad thing about the place, limited parking space as the Indoor parking had been turned to two Futsal courts which rarely been used. For the services, it quite disappointed as the tables had not been clear by the waiter and the waitress. Not sure what are the terms between the owner and the stall operator either the stall operator need to collect their own plates and utensil to clean. Other than that, still okay.  Hope if the management stumble on my blog, please do the changes so that more patrons can come to your place. On Halal food, only got mamak stall operating outside with the satay stalls.
