TG-1, my new running companion

Introducing my new running companion in many upcoming races in the future.... (drum roll pls....)
Olympus TG-1 iHS !!!
Olympus' design department did a good job!

It looks so much better than other tough cameras out there. Other models I considered before I buy TG-1 were Lumix DMC-TS4, Coolpix AW100, DSC-TX20 & Optio WG2. Why did I choose TG-1? Simply because the aperture F2.0. Fast lens is very crucial when I need to take photo in very low light condition and high speed photography especially during the race. Other tough features including dustproof, 100kgf crushproof, shockproof from 2 meter drop, -10C freezeproof and 12 meter deep waterproof. Very deep actually but I still need waterproof casing if I want to bring it for diving because we dive beyond 12 meter deep.
Even the movie in HD 1080p.

Checkout some of the photos I captured below

Use your creativity
Dramatic scenes
Pop Art filter, enrich the colors
I like this one, watercolor filter
Miniature filter
Ladies will love this features. The camera can beautify you!!
Before and after beautification

In-door without flash
The Maserati was captured nicely without flash
This is exactly 180 degrees panorama scene
 Before this, I had to snap 3 photos at different exposure level and combine the photo manually using Photoshop just to get HDR effect. Now, with TG-1 just one touch I can get this photo.

Some useless features to me
Macro shots
At poolside
 Let see if this camera can be submerged underwater.

Underwater shots

I think this is the best tough camera you can get in the market at the moment.


Oh forgot to tell you how much did I buy. I bought it for RM1230 at Low Yat Plaza. Average price around RM1300.

2022 Suzuki SV650

After three years of dormancy, I'm finally back on the bike and eager to share my experiences with you all. In this post, I want to talk about the Suzuki SV650, a middleweight-class motorcycle that I recently acquired. Earlier this year, I was in search of a new bike for my daily commute to the office. My small scooter, which had served me well during the pandemic, had become unreliable after I rode it nearly 100km per day. One day, while riding full throttle on the highway, the drive belt snapped in the middle of the PLUS highway. I had to push my bike to the Kajang toll gate before a good samaritan, a Grab rider, helped me push it to a workshop in Bandar Baru Bangi. It was clear that I needed a more reliable and robust bike for my daily commute. Initially, I considered a few entry-level bikes, such as the Royal Enfield Meteor 350 and the KTM Duke 390. However, I soon found myself drawn to the middleweight class, which included the Honda CB650R, Yamaha MT07, Kawasaki Z650, Suzuki ...

2021 Triumph Trident 660

Just a month after I bought my SV650, Fiza's friend offered her husband's motorcycle at a very attractive price. Apparently, her husband had given up riding and was willing to let go of the bike. After discussing it with me, I immediately told her to grab it because the mileage was fairly low. They settled the deal in just 15 minutes and over the following weekend, we went to JB to pick up the bike. To our surprise, the previous owner not only handed over the bike but also everything else, including riding jackets, boots, helmets, gloves, and more. Even the bike came with extras like a windscreen, new levers, engine guard, belly pan, tail bag, and bike cover. He said he didn't have time or passion for riding anymore, which was evident from the fact that the bike had only 174 km mileage after more than a year. The bike had not even had the first service yet! Before I bought my SV650, I had considered the Triumph Trident 660, but the price was way more expensive. Fiza, on the...

Weekend Jaunt to KCH

Image
First time I joined Sayang night stop in Kuching by boarding the aircraft she was operating. The entire crew treated me very well and I also got 1st class treatment from my Sayang. She made a special welcome drink for me.   We stayed for 2 nites at Hilton Kuching. We got a room with a nice view of the waterfront. On the 1st day, we walked along the waterfront and crossed over the newly built bridge. There were many tourists and locals hanging around the area until late at night. We went to TOPSPOT for a seafood dinner. After dinner, we just went back to the room to sleep early because Fiza has to work early morning.  While she was working, I went to Pasar Satok alone to buy terubuk masin and jalan2 enjoying local delicacies at Pasar Minggu Satok. Sayang came back in the afternoon but we only went out at night. We crossed the river to the other side using sampan to enjoy our dinner at My Village Barok. The food was good and there was a guy doing a solo perf...
