The New Camera

Guilty. I couldn't resist it. A camera with better lens and sensor than the lovely X100. I would go insane to say no. So, last Friday, after work, I went out to ask around and at Boeing in Sungai Wang, I got the best offer.

I bought the body with the 35mm f1.4, a delicious lens and had been trying it out ever since. I also got the dedicated case for it, but the annoying thing about that case was the battery and the memory card, bring located at the base of the body, necessitate me to remove the casing every time I needed to charge or download photos. A bit of a pain.

Another gripe was, I have yet to update to OSX Lion on the iMac since the software for my wiggy Internet dock is not compatible with it. The latest version of Aperture requires upgrade to OSX Lion, and that version could process the x-Pro1's RAW files. Since I was not able to upgrade, I was stuck with the jpeg. But when the jpeg appeared this good, I couldn't really complaint. Yet.

With Idlan having his exams next week, and Puan Anita occupied, I would have time to have a walk about town. The camera sounded perfect for street photography, although like the X100, the focusing can be rather quirky.

Outing Later

The morning clinic was quieter than expected. So I spent most of the morning at the Doctor's mess watching tennis. Federer was close to get an upset, but managed to turn things around. Amazing.

Idlan has assessment next week. So, it meant that we won't be having any outing this weekend. I would be on call next weekend, so not much chance then as well. So, I will be going out for a photo walk later around Pavilion. With my brand new camera ......

Chill Time

Finally, after a couple of weeks swimming with work, I was able to go home early. Well, before 5 pm. And it felt good after seeing my last patient just now. Tonight, Anita and Idlan would be out celebrating one of Idlan's classmate's birthday in Bangsar. Irfan was supposed to follow but he woke up this morning with a stye on his right eye. Not painful but we were worried that it may be contagious.

I might just be at home babysitting him then. I really could do with an evening at home, just chilling.

Rain!

The rain was finally here. After a day of haze yesterday and all morning today. Hopefully the rain would bring fresher air. After sorting out my morning rounds, I decided to clean up my apartment and catch a quick nap before my afternoon clinic. All were sorted out by the time the rain arrived. It helped to cool the weather somewhat, before stepping back to the hospital.

Late Lunch

So, managed to sort out the ward stuff and is now waiting for admissions as I was on call today. So far it had been quiet. I would have to return to see my ICU patient later though, so, in the meantime, time to hit the shower at the apartment.

A quick look outside, the road was still relatively empty. Time to go!
