Nikon D90 Tangan Kedua

Aku ingat tahun ni nak beli DSLR sebijik tapi bajet tak cukup sebab nak beli laptop memandangkan laptop lebih memenuhi keperluan aku nak buat keroje. DSLR pulak lebih kepada kemahuan sebab dah boring pakai kamera handfon so nak explore lebih lagi la.

Aku minat ngan Nikon D90. Nak beli yang baru agak mahal. Dalam website Nikon Malaysia, harganya sekali ngan lens 18-105mm lebih kurang rm3k lebih. Pegi usha kat lowyat pulak dapat la bawah rm3k, sekali ngan lens yang sama, memory card, tripod, dan beberapa aksesori lain. Still mahal jugak sebab bajet aku dah lari. Haha. So ingat nak cari yang second hand.

Minggu lepas usha punya usha terjumpa satu orang ni nak jual D90 second.hand. Dekat Facebook. Reason nak jual sebab jarang guna.

Body + lens + memory card 8gb dan 32 gb + backpack total dia kasi RM1600. Ini dah kira bagus ni walaupun takde waranti. Still boleh nego.

Aku mesej by whatsapp jer. Lagipun memamg dia prefer communicate by whatsapp jer.

"Bro tadi ada nampak posting nak juai D90? ada lagi ka? ke dah ada buyer?"

- ada lagi (dia reply)

"Condition camne? button sumer ok lagi tak? beli tahun bila kamera ni? Shutter count berapa? COD area mana available?"

Saja kasik banyak terus soalan, mudah dia nak jawab sekaligus. Aku kira semua soklan tu dia boleh jawab dengan mudah. Soalan basic je. Sampai ke hari ni dia tak reply mesej aku. Bila aku check balik kat posting Facebook yang dia buat, soklan yang orang ramai tanya dia jawab termasuk shutter count dan COD. Whatsapp online manjang. Bila aku cari kat Mudah.my pun ada jugak.

Dan aku expect ada something wrong yang dia nak sembunyikan. Mungkin dia ingat aku expert kamera kot. Susah sket nak kelentong. Ada la tu rosak kat mane2 tu. Ceh macam la aku expert sangat. Padahal tanya google je pon. Anggap dia takmau jual sudahlah.

Dell Inspiron 14 versus Nikon D90

 

 VERSUS

I saved up a bit of money and there are two things I really want to buy. However, of course my budget allows for only one at this moment, so I have to make a choice which one should I get first.

First, a laptop. Dell Inspiron 14.

Second, a DSLR. Nikon D90.

If I get my hand on DSLR first, I still need a laptop (storage or editing purpose) to keep the entire picture. I'm just thinking that becoming amateur photographer just for hobby, not for part-time career purpose.

I used to have a laptop before, but it's not working anymore, with broken hinge, keyboard & screen failure. Also, it's an old Acer model with 40GB hard-disk and 1GB RAM. So, I didn't use my own laptop quite for a long time since 2011. If I have something to do which I need to use PC/laptop, I just go to cyber-cafe.

I will buy both of them, but not at the same time. Which one should I give priority?

Adios.

Last Day in 2013

Today is 31st December 2013, the last day of this year. I do not expect some miracle to happen on this day but just wish that tomorrow I will get the courage to continue my life. 

Actually I got a hunch that 2014 will be the starting point for me to do so many things. Recently I have interested with DSLR and began to do the research about it, the price and also its function. I'm thinking of buying one for me. I asked my friend which brand is better. I prefer Nikon. Yeah.

 For 2014, I want to travel around the world. So that’s why I want to buy a DSLR camera. I get this kind of spirit inspired by One Piece manga/anime main character, Monkey D. Luffy who set sail to the sea to find the great treasure of One Piece, which left on the last Island, Raftel by the last pirate king, Gol D. Roger. Ah, that's always a dream. Too much watching cartoon from Japan maybe. Haha.

There’s a poem wrote by Imam Shafie (150 H - 204 H/766 M - 820 M) regarding with travel. 

Like most other scholars of Islam, Imam Shafie was well-versed in Arabic linguistics and literature, for such is the requirements for one to understand the Quran and Hadis. Besides being a scholar of various religious fields, he was also a brilliant poet in his own right.

This poem states the benefit of traveling to other countries. It's not just open up our mind to a new culture but also can gain new knowledge. For example, learning new language. New friends.

Again, each bayt (verse in Arabic poetry, consisting of two sub-verses) is followed by my own inadequate translation:

ما في المقام لـذي عقـلٍ وذي أدبٍ
من راحة فـدع الأوطـان واغتـرب

سافر تجـد عوضـاً عمـن تفارقـه
وانصب فإن لذيذ العيش في النصـب

إني رأيـت وقـوف المـاء يفسـده
إن ساح طاب وإن لم يجر لم يطـب

والأسد لولا فراق الأرض ما افترست
والسهم لولا فراق القوس لم يصـب

والشمس لو وقفت في الفلك دائمـه
ًلملها الناس من عجـم ومـن عـرب

والبدر لولا أفول منه ما نظرت
إليه في كل حين عين مرتقب

والتبر كالترب ملقـي فـي أماكنـه
والعود في أرضه نوع من الحطـب

فـإن تغـرب هـذا عـز مطلـبـه
وإن تغـرب ذلـك عـز كالـذهـب

There is no rest for the one of intellect and refinement in his locality, so leave your homeland and emigrate

Travel; and you will find a replacement for that which you left, and exhaust yourself for therein is the sweetness of life

Verily I saw water become putrid in its stagnation, and become sweet when it flows.

And the lions would not be fierce if they didn’t leave their grounds, and the arrow would not strike if it didn’t leave the bow

And if the sun stayed in its place in the universe, people would have grown tired of it

And if the moon did not disappear every now and then, the anticipating eye would never spare a glance at it

And raw gold is as good as the dust that covers it, and the staff covered in dust is mere firewood.

In leaving your destiny will change, and in emigration you will become precious, like gold.
