Final starts tomorrow, and here I am still blogging!

My MUFY finals is starting tomorrow, with the first paper, English, followed by Math A paper on Wednesday and then a week break before Physics and Math B paper. So, what ON EARTH am I doing blogging now when my paper is slightly more then 12 hours away only?! I don't know....you tell me.

At this point of time, I've really have no more mood to study, and that feeling of fear of exams is virtually non existence in me, because, that feeling has been numbed thanks to all the test I've to take every week throughout the year. So how am I feeling now? I don't feel anything! I don't feel scared, nervous...I only feel...sleepy, and hungry! Ahaha.

But come to think of it...can anyone actually prepare for a english paper?? All I need to do is to sleep early tonight so my brain is *hopefully* working tomorrow, AND I MUST, FOR ONCE remember to bring my Dictionary or else I'll be in trouble.

Is too late now for me to do anything anyway, so I'll just try to do my best, and hope for the best. I would need a miracle for me to pass, but then again, everyone know miracles only exist in TV shows, Movies and fairy tales.


Notes scattered all over my table, after trying to answer ONE Math B question.

The Weekend and Xbox 360 and PS3

Totally didn't study at all, watched "Stormbreaker" on Saturday, which is a totally stupid and horrible movie, nothing more than a Agent Cody Banks wanna-be. Trust Esther and you'll lose RM10. On Sunday, wasted the whole day hangging around after Church, and then later watched "The Covanent", Jin Fong would definitely love this show! Watch this only if you...errr...have RM10 to waste? Again..thanks to Esther. When the movie ended, found out that Henry and Eugene fall asleep during the movie, and even have to wake Eugene up when it ends.


On Sunday before our movie starts, we managed to get a chance to play the brand new Xbox 360 console in "The Gamers Hidout" at Cineleisure, located at the lowest floor (LG), for free! They set up 4 Xbox 360 consoles there, and each of them connected to a 24", widescreen LG gaming LCD monitor with DVI connectors, and let me tell you this, the graphics is nothing short of spectacular! You've to see it for yourself to only understand what I mean. I immidiately got hooked onto a racing game, entitled "Burnout". Graphics of the cars are fantastic, but still not good enough as another racing game I saw which is going to be on PS3. This shows how much gaming consoles have developed through the years, can you remember back then when you're playing Mario on your ugly Nintendo machines and using catridges to load the games? And then there was Nintendo 64 where the graphics was supposedly be amazing back then? Now, it looks like crap compared to Xbox 360, and soon PS3. Back then gaming consoles barely have any processing power and barely have any internal memory at all and it can't do anything else but load the games that is in the game catridge. Now with the soon to launch PS3, it will have no less then EIGHT, 3.2Ghz codename "Core-cell" processors in it (each of this Core cell processor has 234 million transistors, while the Pentium Prcessor Extreme Edition has barely 200 million transistors), all 7 will be used at any one time, and the last one will be for back up if any one processors fail (Xbox 360 only has 3 processors). The graphic processor in PS3, designed by Nvidia, code-named "RSX" (550 Mhz chip with 300 million transistors) will equivalent to Nvidia FX6800, not one FX6800, but TWO FX6800 in SLI mode! It will also boast a 60Gb HDD, Wi-Fi, bluetooth (for wireless controllers, up to 6), Gigabit LAN connection, 4 USB connection and get this, TWO HDMI output. Yes, you can connect up to TWO Plasma/LCD screens onto your PS3 play games up to 1080p resolution!. It will also serve as a entertainment hub for your home and also plays back Blu-ray disc! For sound system, PS3 supports and output Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS, same as what you get in a cinema!


This is not a real picture, is a graphic scene from "The Gateway 3", a PS3 game. Just shows how good the grahpics will be.





So people out there who are tempted to buy the Xbox 360, trust me, hold still and be patient!! When PS3 launch soon next year, PS3 will be so much better then Xbox 360, in terms of graphics and processing power and features! Yes it will be more expensive (in the range of RM2k +), but think again, it is also a entertainment centre, you can play back DVD, Blu-Ray DVDs (when it ever reach M'sia), stream music and videos straight from you computer through Ethernet! And to top it all, wouldn't it be cool that you have a game console in your house, that has as much processing power as all of the computers they used to make "Shrek" the movie?!

Anyway here are some random pictures..


Saw this poster in Cineleisure, The beaver from Open Season, with a chainsaw!


Can't see their faces, but try to spot Bryan and Eugene. (Hint: Look right at the middle)


Remember that time Esther beat Jin Fong in Marvel vs. Capcom in Church? This picture probably explains why she was able too..



I think Sarah should be able to win him too..

21st October, Saturday...

My previous post, "Must Watch Movies and MUFY Finals", the post supposedly to be below this one has been erased because it was making my blog hay-wire thanks to a broken html code. For those who never read the last post, well, just go and watch "The Prestige"!!

And here's a adorable picture of the beavers from Open Season if you've missed out..

At first I wanted to post this up before posting my previous post up, but then I decided I was too lazy, but then again, it is something funny I want to share to everyone...hope no one else is as forgetful or blur as me.

All this take place on the 21st of October 2006, Saturday, the time stated here is not really accurate, is only roughly around that time.

1.45 p.m. - Henry finally reach my house, supposed to go out for lunch together. Wanted to go Lotus, but it was close. So we headed to The Curve. First time driving Henry's car, only noticed it is possible to "forget" how to drive an auto car.

2.00 p.m. - Reached The Curve. Suggested to Henry that we call the YFers to watch The Prestige that night, so we headed to Cineleisure and check out what time is available, wanted to watch the 11.55p.m. show but it was too late, so we decide on the the 9.20p.m. one.

2.05 p.m. - Sat down and started calling everyone. I told Henry to call Agape people and I'll call SSGC people. At the end, I asked Henry how much he got, and I told him I managed to call 3 poeple, Eugene, Michelle and Amenda. So Henry told me we buy 10 tickets, and we proceed to purchase it.

2.30 p.m. - Proceed to Kenny Roggers to eat lunch. Noticed I left my wallet in Henry's car..great. Wai Yee finally returned my call, and asking whether she could still join us for movie. So I told her I tried to buy another ticket next to us.

3.00 p.m. - I went back to Cineleisure to buy Wai Yee's movie ticket while Henry went to Rock corner to buy CD's. Managed to get her ticket, so now there's 11 of us.

4.00 p.m. - Went to Agape for YF since SSGC canceled their YF due to Deepavali.

7.00 p.m. - After YF, proceed to Burger King for dinner. While on the way there, when I was exitting North-South highway back to Damansara toll, a stupid motorbike took it's own sweet time to cut into my lane...and then ride in the middle of the road, on my lane!! And it was downhill and I was going at almost 150 km/hr. Immediately brake as hard as possible without causing my front wheels to lock. Managed to avoid crashing into him while he happily continues to ride in the middle of the highway!! Idiot!!! Anyway, when we reached Burger King, ordered double whooper double cheese. Bill came up to RM16.56. I gave the cashier RM57, and gave the coins to Wai Yee, and got back 4 pieces of RM10 bill.

9.00 p.m. - Reach cineleisure, hanging around waiting for movie to start when Henry called me to ask me to buy one more ticket for Shaun's friend, told him it would almost be impossible to get a ticket which is next to us by now. Tried anyway, managed to get, same row but seperated by a couple. Means we almost have one whole row to ourselves. When paying for ticket, suddenly noticed the RM40 change I get from Burger King is missing!! Asked Michael to pay first while I check where my money is, but is no where to be found. (By now there are 12 of us watching The Prestige). Spent the next 15 minutes figuring out what happened to the RM40, but my head was totally blank.

9.20 p.m. - 13 of us entered the cinema together, plus Jin Fong which bought another ticket at the very last minute. When we entered, I directed them to their seat and told them we are taking the whole row except for the second and third last seats. So I let everyone go in first hoping to seat right at the corner. When everyone is seated down...only then I noticed..there is no more place for me!!!! The whole row is filled. Wtheck?? Something is wrong, I started counting the poeple, and the number match up to the total tickets we bought. Wanted to check all their tickets, but the movie is starting already and it would be too much of a hassle. So I went to the first row and sat down..trying to figure out what happened.

9.40 p.m. onwards - Movie started already, still keep on thinking why is there short of one seat. Keep turning around doing head count, and remembering the number of people we called...matched up again!!Still Couldn't understand why. Then suddenly I remember, my side, I only counted 3, and Henry told me he got 7, so we buy 10 tickets. Then only I realised Henry did not include me into his list, he only counted himself!! (Earlier on at that time I really thought Henry counted me in together with his 7 people because I sort of misunderstood him when I asked him how many people we have already). So finally after thinking so long, and by now, half of the movie has past, only managed to discover all along I forgot to count myself in!!! Oh mann... and to think, I kept turning behind and count all of them, but keep on forgetting to count myself!! Of course the number match perfectly, that's because I keep on forgetting to count myself in!!! Champion..

12.00 a.m. + - Movie finished, with a sore neck caused by sitting in the first row. Still disturbed over my missing 40 bucks, still trying to figure it out what happened to the money, asked everyone do they remember anything, but no one see me left the money anywhere.

Then it was time to leave, so 7 of us walked to my car. Only thing I remembered is I came up from the other end of Curve, near Borders book store...great, Curve is already close by now. So we have to walk down through the escalator nearest to Cineleisure and walk all the way to the other end through the car park.

When we finally walked to the other end, my car is nowhere to be found, only realised I've totally no memory of where I actually parked my car. Great!! So 7 of us walk around and around, until only I suddenly remembered I parked at basement 2!!
But that's all I remembered, still couldn't remembered where I parked. So we asked the rest to wait in basement 1 while Michael and I run down to find my car. Thanks to my long range remote and the ability to indicate when it is in range..I was able to find my car finally with the help of the alarm sound.

Most of the autopay station at the mall escalators exits is locked by now. So I drove straight to the parking exit hoping to be able to pay my ticket there. Normally I would be able too, but on that night, their machine was spoiled!! Great!! And there was already like 5 cars behind me, so I can't reverse. Poor Michael have to run out and pay at a autopay station at one of the mall exits, while causing a long jam behind me and recieving alot of curses by other people.

At the end, I managed to arrive home safely, not before almost getting into an accident under the fly-over near my house thanks to 2 REALLY STUPID modified Proton Wira drivers racing with each other!! Probably another inch before they slam into my front bumper.


What a day, one of the worst day I experienced this year...

Sony Cyber-shot S500

My mom asked me to help her buy a digital camera, and knowing her, it has to meet a list of her requirements:

1) Budget of RM600.
2) Must be not bulky so can fit in her handbag.
3) Must be very friendly to use.
4) Must be a new unit, so no second hand.
5) Must have good picture quality, equivalent to Canon Ixus V3 or better. (She compared to V3 because I owned one before about 3 years ago and she likes the picture quality of that camera.)

So as you can see, the first requirement alone almost make it impossible to meet the rest. At first I wanted her to get the Canon I Zoom, one of the best sub RM1k camera already, but then she said is too expensive, so I recommended her Canon A430, with 1Gb SD card it is only RM590, great deal! BUT, she complain it is too bulky, too fat for her liking, and then she saw the new Sony Cyer-shot S-500, and from then on everything went wrong...




To be honest, it is a really nice looking camera, it looks really well built, very handsome, have that solid built which make you think you're using a RM1k+ camera. What's more, this camera has 6.0 Megapixel, 3x Optical zoom and a big juicy 2.4" LCD monitor. Honestly, I couldn't believe Sony would price this camera at only RM599, infact, it is a surpise itself to see Sony come out with a camera at this price range.

So...everything sounds good right? Price is right, size is right, and the features seems more then adequate. Even I almost liked it, that is until I transfered the pictures taken into the computer.

When I reached home and played with it, first thing, the minute you on the camera, you are greeted by one of the most pathetic LCD monitor ever. Yes, it is big, and looks really good, but it is HORRIBLE at previewing pictures on it. The reso on the screen is so low, is almost as good as my FIRST digital camera by Fujifilm, way back when 640x480 digital camera was considered the best!! So, my lust for it's big juicy screen got turned off already, what's worst, when trying to compose a shot under bright sunlight with the screen, well, you can practically see, nothing!!

Other then the screen, the lens on this camera is ABSOLUTELY horrible. Probably that's why Sony can priced it so cheap, the lens is practically rubbish!! (I'll show you why in a short while). The picture quality is also nothing short of pathetic, even at the highest reso, 6 Megapixel and at "Fine" settings, picture taken at ISO 80 is already NOISY!! The amount of noise taken at ISO 80 on this Sony camera is even more then my Nikon D50 at ISO 1600 (I know is not a fair comparison but still??)

The color reproduction is also terrible, it is either too dull, or too overexposed, there is no balanced. And all this I'm talking about taking outdoor picture, in bright sunlight!! When you come indoors and start using it's flash, well, I've no more comment.


Sample photo, taken at the highest possible settings, looks "quite" good eh?

Now look at this photo cropped out from the above photo:


That is the MAIN and BIGGEST problem!! If you look closely, look how bad the picture quality is on the right side of the picture, especially on the flower pot. Because of the lousy cheap lens Sony is using, ALL the picture taken is out of focused on all the 4 sides!! Don't believe me, click on the full picture of the garden and look closely to all 4 sides, you can see it runs out of focus!!



Another sample photo, taken indoor, with the Sony's highest possible quality setting and at ISO 80.

Now this photo looks quite good? That's probably because the picture you're looking now is so small. Click on it for a bigger sized version, and look at the cupboard, check out the amount of noise evident, and this is taken with the lowest ISO, ISO 80!
Another thing you will notice is this camera has a quite terrible lens barrel effect. Look at the pillar on top, I could've sworn they built that pillar perfectly straight!!

As a comparison, I took the exact same photo with my Nikon D50, to be fairer, I set my camera to the LOWEST possible setting (VGA resolution and "Basic" quality). And I took this picture at ISO 1600.


Taken with a Nikon D50, on the lowest possible quality setting (VGA resolution with "Basic" quality and at ISO 1600.


So, this Sony camera is very cheap, it only cost RM700, together with a 1Gb Memory Stick Duo. It looks good, it has great built quality, and has a big LCD screen, and it is quite pocketable. But do I recommend anyone to buy it?

NO

If you only have a RM600 budget for a camera, go get the Canon A430, it is MUCH better. Or if you can stretch, get a Canon I Zoom (RM850)or a Canon Ixus 40 (RM 1.1k), just stear clear and far away from this...rubbish!

Mind you I never wanted my mother to buy this camera in the first place, but it is the smallest camera she could get for her budget...her choice...a bad choice!

Another boring post, by a boringly bored person..

My all time favourite movie!




Yes, this IS my all time favorite movie.

(My other favourite movies are "A Walk To Remember", "The Notebook", "Million Dollar Baby", "City of Angel" and of course, "Lord of The Ring")

It was released about 5 years ago, and I've watch it no less then a million times for the first few months, and everytime I watched it, I always get moved by the movie. It is really an inspiring movie, really shows you what courage and passion is all about, and also the will to never give up and to believe in yourself to gain success.

So for those who never watched this movie yet, go grab a original VCD copy from anywhere, and it is selling for quite cheap now because it is a old movie, or you can always visit your favourite torrent websites to download it. Is really one of the BEST movie ever made..and what's more, it is based on a true story!!

Haze on Kerinchi Link





Taken this picture on Sunday night while driving along Kerinchi Link at about 11p.m.. The haze was, well, simply amazing!! If I have my Nikon D50 with me then I would just stop at the side of the highway to take photos, the street lights looks so beautiful thanks to the haze...gives me that weird, peaceful feeling when I was driving that night, everything looks so foggy, reminds me of Cameron Highlands, the only difference is that here is hot, humid and really unhealthy.

A random picture



Was organizing my pictures earlier on, and I came across this picture which I've taken a few months back and forgot to post it up.

Happy 18th Birthday....Hengy!

Henry Goh Peng Han, finally 18 years old on the 12th of October! Happy Birthday bro..thank you for always being there, you've made a difference in, I believe, many people's life. Indeed is a blessing to know you and may God bless you always.

Photography

Trying to learn a new photography skill, where you use a slow shutter speed, and trace a speeding car passing by so the car will be in focus while the background will be blured out...unfortunately, I'm QUITE far away from mastering it...









Oh well, it's a start!

-----
On a totally different matter, I'm on a one week holiday, oh wait a minute, to be more accurate, I'm on a one week STUDY BREAK, and so far, I am really treating it as a study BREAK, yeah..a break from studying! Ahaha...

I'm really bored, anything interesting happening in Malaysia this week??

A few Things I've Learnt

I've only been alive for just slightly over 18 years, 18 years and 2 months plus to be more exact. Since I've done that tag created by Henry, asking us to write down something memorable for each year in our life, I've begin to reflect more on my life, of who I've been, and who I've become now. Sad to say, I'm really disappointed for who I am today, I've change so much until I don't really know who I am anymore. But for the past few years, I've been through many different difficulties and adversities, and I've come to realize a few things I thought otherwised when I was younger.

1) I come to learn that no one is perfect, even ourselves.

2) Many times when we think that no one else will be better then us in the things we do best, well, there will always be someone else out there better than us.

3) I've learnt, the hard way, that life move on and doesn't pause even for a second to wait for you, so is either you "stay put" and rot, or pick yourself up and move on, continue in life.

4) I've learnt that even the person who love us most will disappoint you when you least expect it.

5) I've also learn that we will disappoint the person we love most in our life when they least expect it.

6) I've learnt, again the very hard way, that no one can keep true to their promises, even promises made by people whom we think love us most.

7) I've learnt to try to avoid making any promises, especially to people we love, as we're not perfect and we will struggle to keep that promise and probably break that promise one day.

8) I realise that Christians are not perfect people, and that many Christians are infact, hypocrites.

9) I've learnt that in every Church, to a certain extend, has it's own inner political issues, and that is what make many Churches fall.

10) I realise, to achieve success, you must go through pain and suffering first.

11) I've learnt, that falling in love might be the most beautiful experience, but will also be the most painful experience ever in our lifes.

12) I've realise that, not all the time, it is better to give than to recieve. Because in reality, many people will take you for granted if you're too kind.

13) I've learnt, through very painful experiences, that when people use the word "Forver" in a r'ship like "I'll love you forever" or "I'll wait for you forever", well, it is just most probably a spur of the moment thing and they'll never actually keep true to it.

14) I've learnt that, many times, the most beautiful thing you see may not be the same on the inside.

15) I've learnt, never to judge someone before getting to know them deeper.

16) I've learnt that when we reach a crossroad in our life, we tend to rely on our own strength, and our ownselves to help us find our way, instead of relying on God. And that's when we will end up choosing the wrong road.

17) I realise that the choices we make when we are met with a crossroad, will effect who and what we are later in the future.

18) I realise that everyone needs a road map, not only a real physical one to get us around KL (thanks Markus), but also God's road map for us in our life.

19) I've learnt that, what most people think to be the most "Incompatible" couples will end up being the most compatible at the end.

20) I've learnt, that it is harder to hate than to love.

21) I've also learnt that it is much harder to hate someone whom you used to love than loving someone whom you used to hate.

22) I realise that people always leave, especially people that we love most.

23) I realise that life will never turn out to be what we always hoped for, because it is reality, not a dream.

24) I've learnt that the phrase: "The grass will always be greener on the other side" is actually trying to say that man will never be contended with what they have. One may spend their whole life trying to get to the other side of the fence, and when they finally get over, they'll start thinking, "I think the grass on the other side IS actually greener!", and this is evident for all of us.

25) I've learnt to appreciate every second of my life I have, as I know God has the power to call me home anytime as He wishes.

26) I've realise how short life really is, time is flying by so fast, and before you know it, you'll be breathing your last breathe, hoping and asking God to give you a lil bit more time.

27) I've learnt that, all people need most of the time is a second chance. Even a lame can run again, IF he gives himself a second chance.

Lowest point of my life..

A few things in life I've got to learn:
1) Stop procrastinating
2) Don't procrastinate
3) Never procrastinate
4) Avoid procrastinating

Yes..I've to learn how to stop procrastinating..or I'm really going to die later in the future.

I'm suppose to be having my Physics exam in about 7 hours time..and guess what, here I am blogging this on my HP, on my bed while I should be either studying, or sleeping!

I've a really bad habit of procrastinating every task that is given to me, and cause of this, I barely studied anything for my Physics exam tomorrow. Like I told Henry, how much I studied is equivalent to just watching 1 minute of the whole 3 series of LOTR movie and hoping to understand the whole thing!!

I thought the panic button within me has been pressed after my Math A test earlier today, I guess not. I'm really desperae for God's help right now, where is He when you really need Him? Guess I've took him for granted all this while and He is punishing me..

Really feel like I'm at the lowest point in my life right now. Feel so bitter and sour...and unhappy.

Just need the strength to go through 2 more days, I'm reaching my limit..and this is not even Finals yet.

Please pray for me...

MUFY Trials and Dopod 838Pro

I'm at it again, only blogging when there's a major test/exam around the corner...

-----
In about approximately 9 hours and 24 minutes, I'll be seeing this same words right infront of me, on a table, seperated and alone...at least seperated far enough for wandering eyes trying to get some answers from their friends seating around them.



Yep, my MUFY trial finals examination is starting in 9 hours plus time, and for the first time in my life, this is probably the first exam I totally didn't prepare for, and what's worst, I'm not even really worried like I would usually be..yes yes...this is bad!! I'm really aware of it and that's the problem, I'm still not afraid!!
And if you think.."This is only trials, what's the big deal?", the big deal is MUFY love to torture their beloved students, so up to 40% of the marks from our trials will be added into our finals...wonderful!

Dear God..please, please, PLEASE press the "Panic" button within me and wake me up...even though it is abit too late..




TRYING to "study"

-----
On a brighter note, finally bought my new phone on Friday, in the end, I chose Dopod 838Pro over the rest, even though O2 Atom Exec might be half the size and sexier, or Dopod 900 might have a really beautiful high resolution VGA screen, but personally, Dopod 838Pro is the best among all PDA phones currently in the market. (I say this not because I have it, even reviews also give it 4 to 5 stars, and HWM award it 9 out of 10)





For those who are shopping for a new PDA phone, and finding one with 3G function, or a full keyboard you can type on and chat with your girlfriend and boyfriend, look no further, this is it! This PDA by Dopod is actually the successor of the Dopod 900, some of you may think the Samsung 400 Mhz processor in the Dopod 838Pro is slower then the Intel 520Mhz in the Atom Exec and Dopod 900, but DO NOT be conned over the clock speed, the Samsung 400Mhz chip is actually equivelant to a Intel 600Mhz plus processor! So this is one hell of a zippy PDA.

So how do I find it? It is a vast improvement over the O2 Mini, finally the memory on the phone is not dependent on power supply, so I don't have to worry of my backup battery running out everytime I remove the main battery and having a chance of losing ALL my data stored in the phone. Processor and program response is also much faster then before, for those who uses it, Garmin maps run unbelievably smoothly on the Dopod, compared to O2 mini, you can bump the map details all the way up to "Most" and is still fast enough to draw the map without making you feel frustrated.

SMSing on this phone is a totally different experience, thanks to the full QWERTY slide out keyboard. Before you know it, your supposedly short sms will become 2 or 3 pages long, you'll tend to type all the words in full because the keyboard is just so darn fun to type on. For people who love or always wanted to recieve email on the move, then check this out, the phone actually supports POP3 and IMAP4 email!! So now you can recieve and download all your Hotmail, Gmail, TM-net/Streamyx, Jaring mail straight into it's "Messaging" software, and read it while you're stuck in a traffic jam or whatsorever. If you want to reply your mail, no worries, the slide out QWERTY keyboard will make life so much easier!

But it will be abit too fake if I say this phone doesn't have any flaws. One of the biggest flaws I find with this phone is the allocated RAM memory is too little. Only a total of 50Mb is allocated for program usage, so when the time Windows Mobile OS5 boot up everything, you only left about 30Mb of RAM memory left, which is not really enough. When you start opening up too many programs and when the RAM start running low, you can feel everything starts slowing down, so even though you have a zippy Samsung 400Mhz processor, unfortunately, the RAM is just isn't enough to cope with it.

Another flaw is actually the new Windows Mobile OS5 itself! Because the OS is so new, alot of older programs can't really work properly with the new OS. Programs like SPB Plus will tend to cause the Dopod to crash once in awhile, and a soft-reset is needed to set things right. This is also evident in the Dopod 818Pro PDA phone. Probably give it a few more months, and hopefully more new Windows Mobile programs will be built to support OS5 properly.


Overall the Dopod 838Pro is a good phone. You get almost everything you need for a phone in a package 3 quarter of an inch thick. 3.5G support, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, A2DP to support bluetooth wireless stereo, POP3 and IMAP4 email supports, full QWERTY keyboard and many many more. Oh and did I mention the built in 2.0 Megapixel camera is actually QUITE good(for a handphone camera)!?! All the pictures above were taken with the phone's camera (except for the picture of the Dopod 838Pro la!).



Macro mode with it's LED flash on
