    Last Feb 14, I shot this couple for Asmady Ahmad. This outdoor was after reception at their house at Jalan Sultanah.

    It is not about the pictures but the location that I wish to share.

    These places are common for wedding outdoor photo shoot. Map of Rumah Tok Su and Taman Rimba

    I successfully rode with Canon 20D with 50mm 1.4 attached on 21st Feb at SIMTBE 2010. It was more tiring than you can imagine with more than 1 kg of extra load and a number of stops for picture taking.

    The track was was cleared and became better than we were first reviewed last month. The track took more than 5 liters of water out of me.

    The water supply was sufficient and TQ for crunchy apple at CP3.

    Photos are not very good.  I just pointed and shot. No thinking and no play-play with setting. The event at the finish line was great with performance by Universiti Teknologi Petronas students and prizes giving by Datuk Mukriz Tun Mahathir, but I was too tired to shoot.

    Click here to see the pictures gallery. All images were resized to 1200 x 800 pixels. Some photos are from Canon 50D by Zam Bank Rakyat (Cendoi).

    Images/Photos are free to download and do whatever you want with it. In return, please add my site (if you have not done that). Or maybe visit my adsense.

    Zafizal on the left now actively cycling with pujMAC. I poisoned him to get slim by cycling.  So far still the same. Hazli in the middle, started cycling end of 2007 and quited early 2008. He got this hangat2 taik ayam syndrome.

    In golf, Zafizal introduced it to Hazli and Hazli to me. It is more than 2 years that we played together.

    12 pieces of passport size photo required by MRSM on registration day.  It will cost nearly RM20 at the shop. You can save if you know how. DIY only cost RM1.

    Bought this lens from ebay on Monday last week and it arrived today. I was aiming for this lens since it came out in 2005. Only now I can afford it.  Second hand not new but like new.

    USPS Express Mail about a couple days faster than USPS Priority Mail. Pos Laju is USPS Express Mail agent in Malaysia.

    Now the question is which lens should I bring to jamboree? 24-105 is the best in range but it weights 670gram compare to 290gram for 50mm 1.4. Or maybe bring my Canon 10-22mm which is 385 gram? Anyway, watch for me at SIT.

    My first sample shot by 24-105mm

    Petang sabtu, time biasa anak-anak aku main kat taman depan rumah. Malang tak berbau, dia jatuh time bergayut kat monkey bar.

    Lepas jatuh tak boleh bangun sebab lengan patah. Kelam kabut bawa ke KMC.

    Lepas X-ray, patah tebu. So pagi tadi depa bius and try bagi masuk align balik dan simen.

    Petang, bila Xray balik, masih tak sama dan tak masuk balik.

    So esok pagi kena operate. Kena bubuh besi.

    Harap-harap semua rakan-rakan mendoakan kepada Allah SWT semoga semua berjalan dengan lancar.

    Anak aku yang umur 12 tahun, center baju merah. Tengah main dengan sepupu dari N9 hujung tahun lepas.

    Plan awal untuk ride ke Puncak Janing dan tolong Nasrul dan geng downhill repair trek. Tapi disebabkan member yang dah lama tak jumpa ajak untuk easy ride ke Kuala Kedah, so decided to join them. Lagi pun dah hampir 3 minggu tak ride, jadi kena slow and easy.

    Riders – Jat, Din Toyota dan Zul

    Pergi ikut batas ban. Total – 42 km.

    Yesterday was my first time cholesterol check after I started mountain biking. I was so worry if it did not show any improvement. Last time I checked it was nearly 3 years ago.

    I know that cholesterol is about Nasi Lemak and Roti Canai I took every morning. 43 days diet without those two in Holy Land in  early 2005 lowered it to 4.3.

    I went to Pharmacy at City Plaza yesterday and the result is 5.61! I think it is ok since more than 2 weeks without cycling and just golfing and nasi lemak or roti canai without miss everyday. Before this, my level is around 6. The target is to go below 5.2

    You have to do blood check at the lab to get to know your Bad and Good Cholesterol in detail. But for RM8 test at Pharmacy, you will only know the total.

    What is Cholesterol?

    Cholesterol is a soft waxy substance found in all your body’s cell. Despite all the nasty things that you’ve heard about cholesterol, you need a certain amount of it to live:- Cholesterol is essential to your body’s cell membranes, to the insulation of your nerves, and for the production of certain hormones. It is also used by your liver to make bile acids, which helps in the digestion of food.

    Interestingly, the majority of cholesterol in your blood is manufactured by your own body – mainly by your liver – and only 20% comes from the food you consume, especially animal based foods like milk products and meat as well as some cooking oil.

    Good and Bad Cholesterol

    As cholesterol can’t be transported in blood special carries called lipoproteins transport it to and from cells. There are 2 kinds of lipoproteins that you need to be concern about.

    1. LDL (low-density lipoprotein) When too much LDL circulates in the blood, it can slowly build up in the walls of the arteries and can form plaque (thick hard deposits) that can clog up arteries. If a clot forms where the plaque is, oxygen-rich blood flow can be blocked to the heart muscles leading to a heart attack. If the clot blocks the blood flow to part of the brain a strok can manifest. This is why a high level of LDL is reffered to as the bad cholesterol. Lowering LDL levels will help reduce the plaque buildup in your arteries leading to healthier arteries.
    2. HDL (high-density lipoprotein) HDL cholesterol is called the good cholesterol because it contains a relatively small amount of cholesterol itself and carries away harmful fatty deposits from cells and tissues to the liver for excretion from the body. This helps prevent the buildup of cholesterol in the walls of your arteries.

    Your Cholesterol Reading

    Cholesterol readings generally include total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels. It is important to take note of all 3 readings and not just total cholesterol.

    Total Cholesterol [mmol/L (mg/dl)]
    Desirable: <5.2 (<200)
    Borderline High: 5.2 – 6.2 (200 – 239)
    High: >=6.2 (>=240)

    LDL Cholesterol [mmol/L (mg/dl)]
    Desirable: <3.3 (<130)
    Borderline High: 3.3 – 4.1 (130 – 159)
    High: >=4.1 (>=160)

    HDL Cholesterol [mmol/L (mg/dl)]
    Acceptable: >=0.9 (>=35)
    Risky: <0.9 (<35)

    Triglyceride [mmol/L (mg/dl)]
    Desirable: <2.3 (<200)

    Friends come and go. You gain some and you lose some at the same time.

    I miss my friends that get me started in Mountain biking like Mat Kedah, Faizal Penang, Helmi Jitra, etc. We used to ride Paip Gas at Jitra on the weekend.

    I miss my friends in Photography like Fauzi and having teh tarik with Asmady Ahmad.

    I also miss my golfing friends who quit golf like Faiz, Rashid, etc.

    In cycling, some moved to road bike and some to downhill.

    Now, night ride in Alor Setar also did not attract much riders.

    Now I cannot find the urge to ride. It is more than 2 weeks already with no ride. But I played a lot of golf. Maybe I should quit riding and concentrate on golf! Which I’m getting better.

    But the Great Adventure planned in July that keep me thinking about riding.

    Found a couple of scanned photos on my server which are not published before – Prudential Astro Master.
