About 300 pax were gathered to witness Lee Sinje arrival at Mid Valley. Lee was not late but admitted to hospital due to appendix emergency. Another VIP, Fauziah Latiff becomes the hot spot for all cameramen. The lighting at event hall was insufficient and I didn't acquire nice shot in early section. Luckily during VIPs gallery walkabout we are manage to snap some good shots with other media. It's a fun day.

Sony A100 Revitalized
My beloved Sony A100 hot-shoe was crack due to excessive wear. There was many complaints about Sony Alpha hot-shoe especially it doesn't lock the flash unit firmly. After 12 months of usage, my flash unit is sometimes falling off from hot-shoe. I am worry it happen during event shooting because it might hit some one head. My approach is to secure the flash unit with my left thumb to ensure its stability.
When times come, I have sent A100 and F42 flash unit to Sony Service Center. Surprisingly it was ready for collection after two working days. Double surprise is: It was fixed at no cost under warranty coverage. Triple surprise is: MY A100 TOP PART WAS ENTIRELY REPLACED WITH NEW. F42 MOUNT REPLACED TOO.
I can't believe I'm using an as new unit now. The top part replacement included new functions dial knob, quick scroll dial, shutter button, shooting mode button, exposure button and rubber grip. My one year old rubber grip which is slightly falling off now is new and it feels more rigid in my hand.
Thank you for providing good customer service (again), Sony Malaysia.

Nostalgia Malaysian Chinese Home
Bump into this Chinese New Year setup at Great Eastern Mall. It make my eyes and mouth open. Has been wondering where to find this type of setting around Klang Valley. The last time I saw it was few years ago in KLCC. But this one seems to be better with more details. The clock turn back to 60's. It's rock!

Bubba & Gump Restaurant, The Curve Petaling Jaya
Forest Gump is one of my favorite movie. The straight guy live his simple life with honesty. Fame and adventure come and go but Gump never regret of anything. Life live on because "it's like a box of chocolates, you never know what you get each time". I only understand this saying later when I have opportunity to taste box chocolates.
Bubba Gump Restaurant located at The Curve, Petaling Jaya. It has two floor and more than 40 tables. It is like a fishing jetty with full of Gump and friends picture. The upper floor has a dining room which is same as Bubba's grandmother house dining hall. If you watch the movie before, Bubba's mother, grand mother and great grand mother all cook shrimp J
The dishes are mostly shrimp based, New York styles. My drink is called Jenny's Favorite, strawberry blended with yogurt. It's very fresh and delicious yogurt drink. We have ordered Run Across America Sampler and Bourbon Street Baramundi. The sampler is good to serve 3 people. Meanwhile, barramundi is made of mash potato with grilled shrimp.
Restaurant crews are very friendly. While we are waiting our order, they throw us a trivia about Forest Gump. It is very fun for who like the movie or Gump story. We were rewarded with complimentary ticket for garlic bread in next dines in. Total spent RM 105.
Outside the restaurant, there is a merchandise shop for Gump fans. Overall this is a good restaurant which reminds me of Chilis and TGIF. But I much like Gump's philosophy J
