Samsung Camera PL151 Review

I visited my blog today. And i thought, my God. Boringnya. Even the owner pon bored, apatah lagi tetamu-tetamu and dif-dif terhormat ye dak.. SO i decided tuk wat review. It's been a while i did any review for that matter. And this review is about my personal gadget, my awesomeness camera, Samsung PL151. Therefore i can put pictures to liven up my blog a little :)

Before i start, do you know camera comes with a front lcd now? Yes, how fast tech has gone. I remember back then i was still using Kodak to capture special occasion only. Anta kedai gambor tuk cuci and amek balik days later for twenty sumthg bux..Pricey lai. Now, not anymore. Back to the front LCD. YES! It's awesome!



Check the camera out. Gold colored and with a front lcd for your need. Other variance of colors include black, pink, red and indigo. This is like the mid range of the Samsung DualLCD PL Version that are sold in Malaysia currently. Lower version of this doesn't come with HD video recording while the better version has touchscreen as the main LCD.

A lot of people couldn't believe I bought it for only RM499. Yes! The published price is at RM899. Where did i get it? During MATTA fair a while ago aku sambar. Fotokem held a camera fair in PWTC as well. It also came with Samsung umbrella and 4gb memory card as gifts. Quite a bargain if you ask me.

Reason I bought it aside from the great deal? Besoknya abang aku kawen so aku belilah. And also, for travel trip this coming end of April. And also for the obvious, camwhoring made easier. HAhah. Couple shot pon senang. Goodbye to gambar senget! Keke.

What's great about the camera for the features is the child mode. It is a great feature to use if we want to capture toddler picture which can be a bit frustrating to get their attention. Wolla..Samsung came up with a product that plays cute clown cartoon on the front lcd while we parents can capture their cute moments. And the pictures also good too. With 5X zoom, 27 mm wide-angle lens and 12 megapixel, it's a perfect camera to capture anything, anytime and anywhere. Some other features are pretty standard if you ask me. The ladies also loves the camera because it has beauty mode. Apparently it can wipe out those zits and make your skin look more gebu. Hahah. It also produce video with HD quality. It captures sounds really good too. Kira tak pecah sound tu no matter how loud (even in clubs) like what my Samsung Galaxy S does. The pictures are really crisp with true colors. Some camera produce pictures which can be a bit washed out in color but not this one. Check few photos i took using the camera.

Love this picture. It captured the sun like a halo! :P

I forgot to use the macro mode here. Regardless, look how rich the colors are.

View pictures. It captures it perfectly.

Of coz, testing camwhoring guna front LCD under lowlight. X senget kan? Haha :P

Something of a Reminder To All When It Comes to Our Ego!

This is an improvised entry taken from http://www.davidwygant.com/blog/6-ways-your-ego-will-kill-your-relationship/1668/. Credit to the guy!

It's great that we have found our true love, but it’s equally critical to maintaining and continually improving a relationship once you’re already in it. Killing it is even easier! Nothing will kill a relationship more quickly than ego. Here are some points to look at what I mean.

1. Resist The Temptation To Defend Yourself

How many times you’ve fought with a significant other, and whenever things get a little heated yoAll you hear is you being attacked, and you immediately go into “defending yourself” mode. u start to defend yourself? Do you know that when you defend yourself in a fight, what’s really happening is your ego is defending itself.

At the same time it also means that you’ve stopped listening to the other person. If someone tells you that they don’t like the way you’ve been acting lately, why not hear them out instead of defending yourself? It will almost always create a MUCH better outcome.

From my past relationship, I took this road more often than not. Ask all my past girlfriends and they would all agree. It speaks for who i was and still am. I am worst when someone pass judgment on me and worst of all, they're right on the money. So I defended myself at all cause. Even with a hurtful comebacks. I would be great lawyer I supposed but I'll be a greater demon when it comes to a relationship. Huhu.

2.Your Ego Can Ruin Any Conversation

The truth is that no matter how much hope for a good conversation with your significant other, your ego is the one thing that will consistently ruin any conversation you’re about to have if you let it.

Let’s say your significant other is frustrated with you in one way or another and really needs to express something about that to you. How do you respond? If you let your ego get involved and you defend yourself, it means that you’re not listening to them.

In order to really listen to somebody, it’s uncomfortable. Sometimes your significant other has things that are really bothering them about which they want to talk to you, but which you would rather not hear. To maintain a great relationship, however, you can’t let your ego keep you from really listening.

2. Dropping The Ego Doesn’t Mean You Need To Change Who You Are

It can take a lot for you to drop the ego, really listen to your significant other and realize that they need you say something in a different way or understand how the way you communicate may make them feel a certain way. A lot of people misunderstand these kind of requests as being their significant other’s attempt to change them. It’s not.

They’re not trying to change you, they are trying to improve the way you communicate with each other. They are trying to get the two of you to be able to communicate better than you ever have in the past. Don’t let your ego get in the way. Embrace this!

3. Ego Causes Those 'Cakap Lepas' Which Are The Biggest Relationship Killers

Do you get frustrated when you’re having an argument with a significant other? Of course, we all do. When that happens, though, sometimes the ego will cause you to hurl 'Cakap Lepas' at the other person.

You’re feeling hurt, so you lash out and say something you know will make the other person hurt too. It was not only hurtful, but inevitably something stupid. By listening to your significant other, instead of lashing out from your ego, you can get through an argument without these low blows and they will be much more constructive (and not destructive to your relationship).

Often happen with my significant other. From dulu2 till now. I give you one HARMLESS example. While waiting for a traffic light with my girlfriend in her car, i mistakenly put the gear into Neutral instead of Drive. The car went backward for like 2 seconds and almost hit the car behind us because we were upwards the hillside. Lucky i managed to hit the brake but those 2 seconds i was sorta like dreaming. Then my gf yelled and my ego straight to defensive mode rather than admit to my mistake. You know what i said? Your car have a malfunction brake and the neutral gear didn't hold our car. How stupid was I?

So the next time you see your ego getting involved in your relationship, get rid of it! If you find yourself defending yourself or not allowing you to really listen, then you need to take a step back. Listen carefully to what’s really being said, and use it to create the most amazing relationship. If you're reading this and the ego get in the way to improve yourself, then get a shrink ASAP! :P

Blog Yang Kegersangan.

Waduh,waduh! Lama benar ditinggali blog gue ini..hahah

Bukan ape. JAdi malas coz wifi tadak and 3G lembab. Huhu. So much had happened and so much thing to share, dunno how to compile all of them. I will be back in a couple of days for more updates.

Sekarang ni just rasa nak luah satu bende. Kenape perempuan suka complicate things dengan silence treatment? Does it help in any way?

Yes, it's like the official way for women to channel what they feel to their spouse but why?

Hmm...Maybe mereka buat begini dengan harapan the guy gets it magically. Yes, sometime it works tapi often not so lucky.

This is how my mum and dad broke their marriage. They were mad about some little thing at first. Then came silence treatment. Maybe masing-masing ego so melarut sampailah well, they separated few years later. Leh bayang dak duk rumah sekali and x pernah bercakap dekat setahun lebih. The silence become so toxic, they couldn't even be in the same room even together. Now all good coz memasing dah bahagia dengan pasangan masing2. Alhamdulillah.

So lesson learnt, communicate! It's what makes relationship works! Be it in spoken words, sms, calls, email or Skype. If x puas hati about something, bawak ler berbincang bukan wat silence treatment hoping the guy gets it. It's great if the guy gets it but what if we dont? We guys become lost and the girl stay mad? Does it help in any way? Someone please explain. Huhu.

In my case, it's a dejavu all over again. Truth be told, even thought of what if i was single again. Seriously, i am too old too figure all these out again. And surprisingly, i was ready to accept. Pisang berbuah first time so bitter, i do not need it the second time around. So acceptance was the final answer. Nothing's wrong with that.
