Candid - SHY KIDS
One of my avid fan complain that I do not post enough of my work, by doing that; he can appreciate the photography I done and hopefully learn something from it :)

"Mana Ada Sense" - Part 2
KUDOS to Sky City! They reply a day after I lodged a complain about my disappointment! Here is their reply in full:
Thank you for providing me with your reservations details and giving me the opportunity to look into this further.
From your reservation details I can see that you had booked under the "PARK" rate code for a Standard Room.
As you say from your email and your internet blog upon arrival you were advised that the room type you had booked was not ready yet. Your room type would have been ready before our standard check in time of 3pm.
You checked into your room at 12.38pm. On check in you were offered if you wished to upgrade into an "refurbished - upgraded room" for the quoted fee of $30 per night. I have to clarify this amount is including GST, and not as you state excluding GST. You are welcome to check this on your invoice provided upon check out.

Auckland Revisited and Mana Ada Sense?
**** "Mana Ada Sense" - a tongue-in-cheek, translate to "Where Got Sense?" or "No Common Sense!"
The last time we were in Auckland I was 60 years young :) It was Feb 2007... and last week end we find ourselves in this busy city again.
We were flying Air New Zealand, our tickets were bought on-line; at our Wellington airport we learn how to check-in ourselves! The wonder of technology!
What do not make sense to us that our local flight luggage allowance was 25 Kg, wheres my sister in laws who are flying MAS (Malaysia Airlines System) to Kuala Lumpur were only given 20 Kg each!
Come now MAS! What is going on? Local flight 25 Kg and international 20? A case of "Mana Ada Sense" ??

Nyonya food at its best, in Auckland ?!
Yesterday (2 Oct 2009) I was informed by Charles and Janet that they are closing Sri Intan effective 11 Oct! To all their fans they are offering special $250 for ten table which showcase TEN of their best Nonya dishes! Adios Sri Intan, you will be missed!
The Sri Intan story...
The General and I were in Auckland sending off her sisters back to Malaysia, we decided to hang around Auckland for a couple of nights to catch up with friends.
The last time we met up with Charles and Janet in Auckland was in March 2007! Janet introduced us to the Gyuto Monks and I wrote about them in "An Enlightenment Journey" in my old blog.
This time round we are very excited to savour their latest creation, some named it "the most authentic Nonya cuisine in New Zealand"!

Mt Tit-What?
After viewing my "Stealthy Bird" entry, Heather (my colleague and fan) comment:
"Stunning photo!! Looks great enlarged on desktop...but... an unfortunate name for such a lofty mountain!!
I can imagine your wife with her face squashed up against the window while you are leaning over,clicking away! ha ha. Poor little bird.It would be cold and lonely up there.
This is what I read about "Mt Titless ", Mt Titlis is all about the views. The Swiss Alps are simply breathtaking and to even try to put their beauty and scenery into words does not even come close to doing them justice. Even people from spectacular alpine areas like Canada and New Zealand agree.

Stealthy Bird!
Weather have been wet and cold for nearly a week!
They say you can't beat Wellington on a good day, but on day like this; you sure wanna beat the hell out of here!
Met Service forecaster said yesterday's bleak weather was only going to get worse as southerly gusts increased today, reaching gale-force speeds of up to 140kmh in exposed places.
To make life even more exciting, there was an earthquake near Wellington! Luckily it was only measuring 3.9 on the Richter scale :)
Ever wonder then, how can birds fly in this gale force wind?
Take a look at this picture:
See that "stealthy bird" slip streaming the gusty Alpine wind?
This shot was captured at Mt Titlis, Engelberg; Switzerland... 10,000 feet off the ground.
A Canon EOS1n film camera with a 17-35L lens and Kodak Ektapress 400 film were used.
Did we design our Stealth Fighter by copying this bird? Ha ha ha...

More Rainbow but no gold!
After reading my rainbow blog, Heather replied:
"It is good to see that there are people who take an interest in the REAL WORLD..which is our surroundings..landscape,
The idea that a pot of gold can be found at the rainbow's end originated somewhere in old Europe. In Silesia, an obscure area of eastern Europe, it was said that the angels put the gold there and that only a nude man could obtain the prize. Hmm.....
