You are on a one day tour in the centre of Copenhagen snapping beautiful baroque buildings and landmarks. Being a perfectionist you will take the same object or photo for numerous times to get the best shot, which costs you more disk space and power. Suddenly, you realize your SD card is full and you had barely taken much photos of Copenhagen (Yes you took a lot of photos but it’s the same object but different angles). Worst is you realize your battery is running low as well! No thanks to being forgetful about charging your battery the night before.
I was in the same situation before but thankfully I always carry my backup along wherever I go. I will always have an extra SDHC card and additional camera battery in my camera bag. I am glad that I never miss any nice shots because of these issues, else I’ll bang my head to the wall 
If you’re an avid travel photographer, you must always make sure your camera is equipped with enough juice – storage & power. So, bring along your backup SD/CF cards and at least 1 additional battery (If you have battery grip then it’s more convenient)
However, human do make mistakes and problems like “Oh I forgotten“ is common too.

It was a last minute plan and we booked the flight few weeks before the departure date.
We have decided for a trip together to Cambodia (most of our friends have been there already) and since boynet is going to NZ soon, we die die book the flight tickets without any holiday plan yet.
It was quite fun to not plan the holiday and we took an easy time during that few weeks. Until 1 day before departure date, we realize we haven’t book any hotel yet. Luckily we manage to book a guesthouse in Siem Reap and Phnom Penh (booked when we reach there) on the Internet thru friend’s recommendation.
The currency used in Cambodia is Riel and they widely accepts US dollar too. Normal business transaction is in US dollar but when in smaller amount they uses Riel.
1$USD = 4500 Riel
We start our first day in Siem Reap with a lake tour on Tonle Sap river. Since it is rainy season and the lake expands into a big ‘Sea’ while the land and trees submerged under the ‘lake’. River is wider too and the Khmer people will travel with their ‘sampans’ or ‘boats’.

I went to collect my Passport & China Visa today at 10.45am.
There wasn’t much people lining up for Visa collection & payment counter.
I paid RM30 at Counter 1 (Payment) then proceed to queue up at Counter 2 (Visa collection). As simple as that, everything done in less than 5 minutes.
But my carpark cost me RM3 (If i know the whole thing takes less than 5 minutes I would’ve parked at the road side)
Anyway, Counter 3 is for China passport and Counter 4 is Diplomatic Visa.
I’d better update someone that I’ve got my Visa. He was worried that I last minute and cannot get the Visa on time.

It was a last minute thing.
I was kinda forced to follow them for this penang trip. And so, I took leave on Monday but boss didn’t approve. What can I do? I can’t say no to my precious friends 
So, die die also go lah. We, the mmu folks gathered at Kelana Jaya and berconvoi-ed to Penang.
Actually I don’t know the purpose of this trip. But when Penang was mentioned, it triggers another keyword called ‘foods’. I’m like a magnet to food u know, so I can’t possibly avoid this trip right
