Pentax W90 - a weatherproof Point and Shoot

Photobucket

This photo was taken with the Pentax 100mm f2.8 WR (Weather Resistant) on my Pentax K7, at the SAM (Singapore Arts Museum) where Clubsnap held its exhibition on 24-25th July. I like this lens as I had tried it twice on the previous version. It gives very strong bokeh (blur background), hence great for portrait. It also has the macro, and this is taken with the macro feature of the lens.

The Pentax W90 comes with different colors, and the latest is orange. It costs about $405 with tax, and a very cool pns (point and shoot). This is good, if one is going fishing, snorkelling or into some adventures into the wild, where ordinary cameras may not be able to withstand the hard knocks.

Living a good life is about able to afford the gadgets built for specific circumstances. My friend, Eleanor is now in Auckland, and will be going fishing down south, and she has a weather-proof Olympus. Ah, let us relax a bit more, as we have "weathered" half a century and seen the highs and lows of living. We just need to have that good attitude to enjoy the gift of life.

More is Certain

I had been working on an acquisition over the last three weeks and it was the most tiresome experience ever. The target being a public listed company means that any news leakage will drive up the share price. The purchase price of a public listed company will carry a premium on the share price. In Asia, I noted that the premium given is about 10~15% but in the USA, it is between 20~40%! Just imagine, if you spotted a target and you buy into it, and you hit the bull's eye! You could make quite a bundle. Of course, your guess could be wrong, and if so, expect that share price to go down, when the news is announced. For those working on such a deal, expect tons of information to be provided to you, and most of this could be outdated. However the bank (usually) engaged to do the job wants to impress you with documents. After all, more means "we are doing something" compared to "less but quality stuff". So, I have to keep sieving lousy information, to get out what is...

The Attitude of Happiness

Happiness is a mental exercise. It is twist and turn of events that influence this state of mind. Now I am happy, and tomorrow I can be unhappy. Why is this so? Why can't I be happy always? Unlikely that this will happen, because it takes pain to understand joy and fear to understand bravery. There is night and day and like the harmonic motion, there will be ups and downs. The challenge is whether I can smile when I am down, and laugh when I am up. In the mental exercise, can I twist and smile; turn and smile as well? Am I able to accept the "unpleasant events" and let that emotional turmoil goes away to let time heal the wound? Like a stream flowing down, am I able to flow along with it, instead of resisting the current?
