Nikon to Manufacture in Malaysia?

Due to the tragic incident in Japan, one Nikon employee was dead and several missing. One of the manufacturing plants was badly damaged. Rumour has it that Nikon may move part of their lens manufacturing facility to here in Malaysia. A camera barrel parts supplier called Notion VTEC Bhd. appears to be a strong candidate.

Blue Blue Silhouette

Did I spell silhouette correctly? Love this photo taken with my HTC Desire. Somehow, it appeared nicer on the phone. The AMOLED screen may be nice but it sure is faking the colours - making photos pop out but when you transfer it to a laptop and look at it on the LCD... errr... it becomes less exciting.

Anyways, this is now my Android's wallpaper and it looks great being one.

My blog posts have been getting lesser and lesser over the years. Maybe I'm getting older and older. Hence less crap. Also, work-life balance has been tilting the wrong way... so, anti-IonBuck Blog readers REJOICE!

The World Bank has issued a projection that the total world trade will drop from 12% in 2010 to 7.1% and 6.8% in 2011 and 2012, respectively. Following this, our country has issued a projection of 5.2% growth in 2012 compared to 5.3% this year. The construction and agriculture industry is expected to spearhead Malaysia's economic growth this year.

Super Bowl 8

Has everyone already seen the Super 8 teaser from last year? If you had not, then you will find a crazy driver driving on to a railroad, going against a train head on, causing a huge train crash and what appears to be something huge and scary trying to get out of one of the carriages. The teaser can be found here: http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/paramount/super8/

Recently, there was an update to that teaser - a super bowl trailer - and someone had put it up on Youtube:
Doesn't look as thrilling as the teaser, though, but at least it doesn't look like the camera is shaking the whole length of the film!
