[2028] Of Indonesian presidential election accidentally reached to my home

The postal service mistakenly sent the following letter to my house:

Fair Use. Obtained from The Star.

I do not know the content of the letter for sure because I do not have the authority to open it. Judging from the envelope however, I would risk guessing that it contains a ballot for Indonesian living abroad to use to partipate in yesterday’s presidential race.

[2003] Of reading Utilitarianism under a tree

I have not been posting pictures for a very long time. The reason for that is a certain photography shop — ah, hell, I will just name it; Foto Flash — is taking a very long time to send it to Nikon and service my DSLR.

In the meantime, I have to settle with my old trusty Fujifilm A303. That is a very old point-and-shoot camera; it is the camera before I migrated to D40.

This is the first photo by A303 after more or less 2 years, I think.

This is not an entertaining book due to its long proses but it is enlightening anyway. I do not however agree with some that Mill writes, especially with bias towards religion. Somehow, he makes exception for his religion what he outlines for others.

Regardless, I will be in Penang next week and I need my DSLR. If Foto Flash does not return my D40 in time, I may be in need of a new DSLR. At the moment, I am looking at D60. To do that, I might sell my D40 to subsidize my upgrade.

I will be leaving for Australia in the first or the second week of July. So, I need to get it off my hand rather quickly. I am thinking of selling my D40 in between RM1,000 and RM1,500. That is between half and 3/4 of the price I bought it for. Along with it are the charger, the CD, the manual and the kit len. If you are lucky, I might throw in a tripod for you too.

So, anybody want to buy my D40?

This is a mangrove tree. Among the rocks penetrating the sand are pointy wooden structures that form part of the tree root system. Those are breathing roots, a product of evolution as the species adapts to strive in hostile seawater environment.
