The 'infamous' Katerina Hotel of Batu Pahat, Johor... I'm very sure some of you might remember what actually happened there a few years back!!! I'm not going to elaborate on what's happening there and I won't be revealing the room number as well... I'm just going to say it involve some politician... That's all... Haha...

Familiar looking??? I bet so...

Frankly speaking, the hotel reputation in terms of food quality is not up to par... But anyway, we are going to give another chance for it to reclaim back it's reputation this Mother's Day...

First thing first, I don't like the way they make us wait for the food... We reach there around 12.30 because it is stated there that the lunch is from 12pm to 3pm... We didn't know that they will wait for most of the tables to be fill up in order to start the lunch... So the lunch eventually starts at around 1.30pm... Bad experience!!!

Another thing is there are too many programs in between... Lucky draw, games, fashion show, dance and singing entertainment and even cosmetics promotion!!! What we want is just a lunch celebration with all the mother's in our family!!! But that's just us... I can see that some of the families are actually enjoying it...

Now here comes the GOOD part... The food is actually quite good... We are really surprise because Katerina is not famous for their food...

Tomato soup with lots of crab meats and other ingredients inside... This dish is sort of a fusion between western and eastern food!!! Really nice...

I'm sorry to announce that I'm going to torture your eyes from now!!! But fortunately, there are only a few pictures because my camera cannot take it anymore!!! This is their so-call MODELS!!! Enjoy!!!

Okok... That's it...

Thai style chicken...

Lamb that is cook almost to perfection... The meat is very tender and juicy... Nicely done...

A free Mother's Day cake...

My super cute nephew that likes to camwhore!!!

For computer enthusiast, Enermax is definitely not a strange name to them... So whenever someone mention Enermax to a computer enthusiast, computer power supply (PSU) will definitely spring to their mind... The reason for this is because Enermax is really well known for their PSU and in fact, it is one of the leader in high performance/output PSU...

So the first time I saw a keyboard made by Enermax, I'm actually quite shock... Is been a long time since I last visited any PC shop... So I'm not aware of all the new products available now in the market... Recently I'm searching for a new keyboard and mouse for my desktop... So off I go searching for a new keyboard...

At first I didn't purchase the Enermax Caeser because of the price... It is quite expensive... So instead I opted for a normal Microsoft keyboard and mouse combo... But unfortunately, the Microsoft mouse is giving me problem and I bring it back for warranty... The sales person said they can change a new set for me or I can opt for another brand of keyboard and mouse... Of course I jump at this opportunity to change because the Microsoft keyboard sucks as well... I don't like the feeling of pressing the key...

So I got the Enermax Caeser instead because I really like the feeling of pressing the key... Besides that, the keyboard is beautifully made from mixture of aluminium and steel mesh and not forgetting really comfortable to use...

Enermax even included 2 USB ports at each side of the keyboard... Really nice!!! Making my life so much easier... Bravo Enermax!!! Other than the USB ports, there are shortcut keys placing at the side of the keyboard as well... Really convenient I must say...

Another thing that shock me is they even included a earphone/speaker and microphone jack at the back of the keyboard...

Very flat key... The way I like it...

As for the mouse, I just opt for a very normal Logitech unit as I over stretch the budget on the keyboard... But it is worth it!!! The keyboard is just awesome...

'Hwaseong Fortress' is located in Suwon... King Jeongjo which is the 22nd King of the Joseon Dynasty... The King ordered construction to begin in January 1794 in order to honor and move the remains of his father, Crown Prince Jangheon from Yangju to Suwon...

'Hwahongmun'...

Hmmm... It looks kinda familiar... Ish, is the famous 'Da Chang Jing'!!! The drama is apparently film here... Don't blame me for not recognizing them because I didn't watch the drama!!!

A super duper BIG pad lock... I'm wondering what's the point of making the pad lock soooo BIG???

Some reenactment of the past... They are of course motionless!!!

WOW!!! I'm enjoying the life of being a paparazzi!!! Youngster nowadays!!!

Wondering what's all those things hanging by the line...

Hmm... It looks like some very important things that belong to guys... Eunuch anyone??? Looks a like right...

To be continue...

Finally Sony revealed the much awaited NEX camera yesterday... Currently there are two models to choose from... The NEX-5 and NEX-3... The only difference between these two models is the former can support 1080i AVCHD video recording while the latter is limited to 720p only... Currently there are only a few manufacturers that produces mirrorless interchangeable lens camera... The most famous two are Panasonic and Olympus which is the pioneer for Micro Four Third whereas Sony NEX system is different because it uses a 14.2 megapixel APS HD CMOS sensor

Front view of the camera with the standard 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 kit lens... Too bad Sony decided to use a different mount for the NEX... The new mount is call E-mount instead of the A-mount use for all the Alpha's camera... But fret not because an adapter is being develop... The adapter enables the NEX to use normal A-mount Sony or Minolta lens... Thinking about the NEX with Carl Zeiss or G-lens is enough to make my knees weak!!!

Back view of the camera... The design is very clean but I prefer my camera to have more shortcut buttons to ease usage...

Top view of the camera with the standard kit lens... The lens is a real beauty...

The NEX-5 with the 16mm F2.8 pancake lens...

Currently only two lens will be available... The 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 and 16mm F2.8 pancake lens... The 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 lens will be available later this year...
