The Postman from Japan came today….

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

Today during work, Mrs Mayat told me that she has received a parcel which came from JAPAN!!

OH??? JAPAN? I was very excited throughout the day and can’t wait to go back to see what it is.

Finally when I reached home… the parcel was waiting for me…

Carefully opening it, out popped 3 packages…

WOOOWSSHHH~!! It’s the Humping Dogs that I’ve been seeing online lately…!!!! THEY’RE FINALLY HERE!!!

I quickly took them out for a group photo….

It’s a simple package without any manuals. Heck, the ‘user instructions’ are even printed on the back of the packaging in Japanese. As if anyone would read them.. LOL…

I took out ‘Brownie’… and took a closer look…

I also took out ‘Blackie’ and ‘Wolfie’ and checked them out…

Each of them came with a USB plastic cover which protects the connection from getting scratched or bumped. The front arms can be moved up and down to accommodate for thicker laptops/USB hubs.

Using the USB Humping Dogs is darn easy it’s no brainer!!

See? So easy….

You might ask me…. “Loctor, how many Gigabyte ah??”

Well… all I can say is… “DOES IT EVEN MATTER?!?!?! “

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

Before you get all confused as to what these USB Humping Dogs are… why not you view a small little clip which I prepared for you LoctorMayat readers..

WOAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!!

And God said.. “LET THERE BE LIGHT!”

Friday, May 15th, 2009

Well well… today when I checked my mailbox, I was surprised to see a “Kalau U Tak Nak Angkat Barang Kita Buang kat Balik Pulau” green card from the Post Office.

Apparently, something that I ordered in March has finally arrived but due to some mix up, the package was sitting in the post office for 1 whole month before they sent me the reminder card. Woahahhaha….

So today I went to the post office to pick up the item….

Yaa…. from the US of Swine-Flu A!

Actually it’s not my first time ordering from Amazon.com. One of my Manfrotto umbrella holder was ordered from there too when it was not easily available in Malaysia. I had to ask my boss to bring it back for me since he was there at the time. Woahaha…

But this package, is the first time I’m asking Amazon to send directly to my home. That’s why it took so long because I was too kiamsiap and chose the cheapest shipping method.

So.. don’t talk so much liao laa… what is inside leh???

WOahahhaha…. Hot Shoe Diaries from Joe McNally.

For you who don’t know, Joe McNally is a famous photographer in the US of Swine-Flu A whose work used to graced the covers of Sports Illustrated, National Geography and many other publications too. He runs a blog here as well.

When he said that he’ll write a book about using Nikon flashes, wah… I was so excited I quickly placed a pre-order in Amazon.

The book is written in his own style but structured in a very easy to read format.

He started off by the ‘Nuts and Bolts’ chapter where he talks about the camera and the settings and even on how to hold the camera.

The remaining chapters talks about how to shoot with one light, two or more lights and finishes off by ‘Lotsa lights’. Ha ha ha… farnee fella.

I’m sure I will be spending my time enjoying this book more than “Angels & Daemons”. LOL!!!

Till then. Take care la.

p/s: I have another copy of the same book coming soon by end of this month. I intend to hold a little LoctorMayat.com contest for the readers and I’ll sell the book at half price to the winner. Stay tuned.

Train Yard Shoot Out

Saturday, April 4th, 2009

Few days ago, Eugene from PhotoMalaysia suggested a photo outing today we’ve decided to head to the train yard which is located extremely near my place which I never knew existed. Ha ha ha… how’s that for lame?

It was a good outing as there were 8 people altogether who turned up. Woah…

Okay, don’t talk so much liao… here are the pics (click on photo to maximize):

Oh… these kind of places… are full of ‘The Others’ if you know what I mean. I managed to capture one before it went away..

YOWZERS!!!

Of course, there must be the official group photo taken. The eight brave Urutoramans of the day:

After that, we headed opposite the yard because there is an abandoned and very old POS office. I borrowed Neoxz’s Ultra-ultra-ultra wide angle lens and took this HDR shot too:

WOAHAHAHHA….!!!

(Yet Another) Souvenier From Australia

Friday, March 20th, 2009

Wah… I very happy la…

Today the postman came again…

(OKAY LA I KNOW LA I HAVE A BIG BUTT HAPPY!?!?!)

Ooo… it looks like the package that my good buddy Mr Zybisko sent has finally arrived. If you guys still remember, I shot Zybisko’s wedding early this year…

So recently, he went to Australia for his honeymoon with his Mrs for several days (me so jealous) and he’s very kind enough to get something as a souvenier for me.

WAOAHHAHAHA..

Well… a gift from Australia doesn’t necessarily has to be a Crumpler™ product which I lup so much. So what the heck is it leh?

The big box wrapped in plastic and packing foam…

and out from the box came a….
