Becky's Jungle Shoot

Had the longest and strenous photoshoot when Becky from the UK wanted a jungle scene shoot. So we headed to FRIM (Forest Research Institute of Malaysia), It was years since I last went and took me a while to navigate there especially with the hopeless signage that we are accustomed to. The canopy walk was a great experience and on the way back we detoured to Batu Caves for somemore shooting. More of her pix here.

My New Ride

VW Golf GTI MkV SE

After lusting for this car I finally managed to acquire a Tornado Red version. Having accumulated many accolades of being Car/Automobile of the Year internationally since it's launch in 2004 the MkV is a favorite amongst people seeking performance and practicality. I have the top of the range 2.0 TFSI engine mated to a super quick DSG gearbox with paddle shift. It has 200 bhp under its bonnet with a whopping 206lb ft of torque from just 1800RPM and easily upgradeable to 250 bhp! This is the car that gives me a smile a mile feeling! Check this review:

New Phone Again, Nokia E71

Replaced my HTC Touch with this svelte & professional looking Nokia E71. I am very pleased with it and is the best Nokia so far. Initially I thought I will have problem adapting to this rather small qwerty keypad but it's so much easier to use than the touch screen ones. Have all the connections that I ever need and battery life is fantastic. Easy to configure email and I love the calender in portrait mode. Lots of theme that we can download. I can isync with my contacts & calender( you'll be glad you have this if you loose your hp) and works great with Nokia's multimedia transfer for Mac. Has built in GPS and Nokia map is fine but I have installed Garmin XT and the A-GPS picks up positions very fast. Feels really good in the hand and the metal casing is wonderful, no wonder this is top editor's choice in Cnet.
