 The locations of the nature disaster near Kinabalu The recent heavy rain and water from Kinabalu Mount change the landscape of the waterfall. Imagine how much water required to change the waterfall looks and painted some of the trees with orange-brownish colours. Huge amount of water rushing through Kadamaian waterfall is believed to be due to blockage of the v-shaped upper river. As the blockage cleared by the force, water pouring through the the waterfall.

The lens is finally dead. However if the SWD (Supersonic Wave Drive) motor is replaced, then it will be back but the cost to replace the SWD is RM900++. I'm still thinking if I want to proceed the SWD replacement or just get another lens. decision.. decision.. I bought the lens in 2005 together with the Olympus E-3 camera. The lens was used almost 99% of the time and works perfectly until the aperture stuck problem in 2009. After serviced by Olympus Malaysia, the lens back to normal again. Then, the lens was used mainly for 4x4 challenges photography works with dust, rain and mud during the event.

After that, multiple problems started to show. First, the lens hesitate to or totally cannot focus from 12 to18mm and hunting focus after 18mm. Then I realized that every photos taken with the lens will have smearin...

Teluk Sepanggar diambil dari Bukit Sepanggar dengan pemandangan Pelabuhan Sabah dan Pangkalan TLDM Armada TLDM Kota Kinabalu telah membuka pangkalannya untuk kunjungan orang ramai baru-baru ini. Walaupun telah beberapa kali sebenarnya Hari terbuka telah diadakan sebelum ini, namun inilah kali pertama saya dan anak-anak berpeluang untuk mengunjungi acara yang mendekatkan orang awam dengan perisai laut negara yang dikagumi.  Seawal jam 10 pagi, kami sudah berada di dalam kawasan letak kereta pangkalan TLDM Sepanggar dengan ratusan pengunjung lain yang semakin memenuhi hari terbuka. Saya meletakkan kereta di kawasan parking yang memang agak jauh (berdekatan pintu masuk) dari tapak hari terbuka, nasib baik ada bas dan lori yang berulang-alik mengambil dan menurunkan penumpang dari kawasan tersebut. Walau bagaimanapun memang tidak cukup untuk pengunjung yang bertambah ramai berpusu-pusu ke tapak hari terbuka.  Seperti hari terbuka yang biasa, mesti ada pameran, gerai m...
