My new toy (Update)

After hunting high and low for a Sb 800 speedlight which already stop production but still consider as one of the best speedlight...I give up searching for it!...Its very difficult to get one. So the replacement for Sb 800 is Sb900..rather bulky but have more features than Sb 800. In the end I bought it from J-One at Amcorb Mall.






Here is the write up about Sb900 :



Have tested it last night...it works well to my expectation. I have another speedlight from Canon 430Ex for my Canon S5Is..I found both speedlight works differently. Anyway, I will try to figure out if 430ex can be slave flash for Sb900

RM3 as the retail floor price for a litre of petrol !

Yes..that was the message by FOMCA. Its all here _News/NST/Monday. If those people can afford a car..they are not classified as poor and there are people that are not poor but they just dont own a car.

In order to be prudent...the FOMCA should request the goverment to tax exempted hybrid or electric cars. This cars are eco friendly and better for our economy. Why FOMCA never think of this? Do FOMCA think we are living in a wonderland where price of fuel is expensive and goods will be cheaper!..Hey look at our salary...it did not increase when the petrol was at RM2.70 and the price of other good increase causing inflation to increase.

Just look at this present moment..price of petrol has reduce from RM2.70 to RM2.00. Has the price of teh tarik reduce or mee goreng mamak reduce...nope!!! Why Fomca dont address this matter and concentrate on single subject..The people already trying to be prudent since the price of good going up and by having the price of petrol to RM3/- there is no guarantee the public will spend on other goods. Its only making petrol station retailer in safe heaven..why not!..the petrol station retailer are getting dirt cheap petrol and selling at sky high expensive to the consumer. Dont we have right to enjoy the lower petrol price, since our salary have never gone up and standard of living is already high.

As a Malaysian Consumer Association they should look into people's complain, there should not be any political or business link in any of their proposal.
