Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice. Psalm 105:3
Last week, we were having pediatric surgery rotation at one of the nearest hospital. It is quite a ‘free’ rotation. Though it is free, I am quite lazy to update my post. =P
Today last day of the November! Christmas is getting nearer and nearer as well as New Year 2009. Lots of places are decorated with Christmas trees. Sales are everywhere! It is the good time to buy something?

Finally got my battery grip BP-450D from post office. Went there straight after class. I never been to that post office before, and I had completely no idea where it is. Luckily a russian lady willing to help me, she brought all the way down to the post office. 
It took around 20 minutes to process the documents in order to get my parcel back.
Here it is. The stuff is put inside the soft envelop.
Let’s see how many stamps on it. Count the value. =P
Customs declaration! Opps.. my stuff only worth 10USD?
Okay… Let’s see the interior.
My stuff is wrapped with bubble plastic paper.
Here they are! My stuffs from eBay. Battery Grip BP-450D and 2 LP-E5 batteries.
The Battery Grip BP-450D is stored in plastic case. Just to let you know, it is not the Original Product from Canon, but from Phottix.
Back side. With several descriptions
The user manual for the BP-450D. I think this user manual is 100% reprinted from the original one. See carefully, you can see “Thank you for purchasing a Canon product”
The front and top part. At the top part, there are metal attachment screw that attach the battery grip to EOS 450D on tripod slot, metal electrical connectors for communication between camera and battery grip, and of course the battery connectors. At there, also present the slot for camera battery compartment cover, so that you won’t lose it. The front part, present hand grip for you to hold the camera in vertical position. The build material is same as EOS 450D.
This is the back part, where presents most of the buttons. The knot for the metal attachment screw. ON/OFF switch. It is used to activate the use of the buttons on battery grip.Buttons for AF selection, AE/FE lock, Aperture/Exposure compensation. There are build exactly same on the original Canon product. The touch is not bad, the button is easy to press and sensitive. All the buttons only effective if the switch is put to ON, or else it will be like paralysed. It is advised to switch it OFF, if vertical position is not needed to prevent accidental pressing on the buttons.
This is the left side of the battery grip. Shutter button and Main Dial are located here. The main dial is a bit smaller than tha main dial of camera. But using it for several hour, you will get used with it.
Right side of the battery grip. It is the compartment for batteries.
Bottom of the battery grip. Hand strap mount and tripod sockets are located here.
Battery slot for AA batteries. You need to put 6 AA batteries and can shoot approx. 500 photos without flash.
Battery slot for LP-E5 batteries. Either 1 battery or 2, will work
Battery slot with 2 LP-E5 attached on it. With this, it can shoot upto 1200 photo without flash, 50% flash upto 1000 photo.
This is the battery come with my battery grip. From Phottix too, capacity is same as the original Canon LP-E5. There are 2 of them. Canon do not recommand you to use non genuine Canon products, if you have extra bucks, get the original one. =P
Okay.. Now let’s attach it with the camera. For the attachment, 1st the camera battery compartment cover had to be removed 1st. It can be easily removed at the angle 45 degree, just gentle pull toward your direction, store the cover at the slot on the battery grip. Push in the battery grip and lock it by turning the knot on battery grip. REMEMBER to switch OFF your camera during any attempt of installing or removing battery grip to prevent short circuit.
Front part, it is nicely fit onto the camera.
View from the back. Securely fit too.
Left view.
I can hold it comfortably and easy operating.
With this battery grip installed on camera, it can double my camera power supply, and easier shooting on verticle position. For those who to get one, you can get it from eBay.com, if you’re from Malaysia, you can try lelong.com.my. Just type it Phottix Battery Grip 450D, and you can get the result. Good Luck!

The 2nd stuff that I ordered to eBay 1 month ago finally got the news today. According to the Russian Post office tracking center, my stuff reached Kursk on 10 of November. But till today (21 of November), they haven’t deliver it to me, nor the slip for retrieving parcel.
Today after class, I went to the post office that I used to collect my parcel. I ask them about the status of my parcel, they checked the number and told me that they didn’t receive my parcel from Kursk Sorting Center yet, and in this whole week there are no parcels for my hostel. Went back home, and asked my seller to trace the item, but they can’t do anything.
Later in the evening, I went down to my hostel to buy something. Before that I went to guard house to check again whether there is any parcel slips or letters. YES there are LETTERS!! But there are the parcel slips? Normally they will put the parcel slips on top of the letters, but this time, they put underneath the letter. Quickly took the parcel slips and check for my parcel, hopefully can get the slip.. YES! Finally I got the parcel slip, but this is not from the post office I used to collect parcel, it is from other post office. I check through the parcel slips, to check my friends’. And I found another parcel slip for myself. It is also for the stuff that I ordered from eBay.
2 parcel slips
1st parcel slip, you can clearly see the date.
2nd parcel slip.
I check the parcel slip carefully and found out that the 1st parcel slip was issued on 11th of November, but they didn’t deliver the parcel slip to my hostel. And I check the 2nd parcel slip, it is the “2nd notification”, issued on 17th of November. And only until today, they delivered the slips to my hostel.
From here, you can see how ‘effective’ is the Russian Post. =P
Tomorrow I’m going to collect my parcel, hope that it is still there.

Before I went to bed, I went to my windows to open the upper part for ventilation. Suddenly I saw!! SNOW!!! This time with whitish ground! Blogger like me of course took out the camera to snap all the wonderful moments.
I found that it is not easy to shoot falling snow and the rain, because their speeds are too fast and they are too tiny! So the result always end up with Motion blur effects. In day time, it might be possible to shoot, but in night time, with the limitation of light sources and ISO, this job remain in EXTREME.
This is what I see through my window. Romantic? Dare to go out with your pyjamas? It is not so cold, it is only 0 degree celsius.
Same photo, but try to see the trees! They are blurred! because the wind is so strong, shaking the trees
The ground is covered with snow~! Wanna step on it? Buy the air ticket to here and you can play with it.
Challenge the extreme! Can you see the falling snow?? Please say yes….
Okay, that’s all. I think tomorrow I gonna take my camera to take some photo. Stay Tuned?~!

It had been weeks that weather forecast from yahoo.com forecast that will snow. But it is quite inaccurate, until today.
This is the 1st snow for winter 2009, and it had been snowing since morning till early evening. But the ground still remains wet and clear.
I tried to snap some photos by using my phone, but it is not so clear..
Taken on the way back from Hospital
Some spot where the snow stays
Can you see the snow?
Can’t wait to see the ground turn white.. hehehe..

It is the day that everyone of us waiting of! A day for rest, fun and enjoy! We started the Children Infection 2 days ago at the brand new hospital. The hospital is big, maybe bigger than some General Hospital in Sarawak. Remember, this is only Children Infection Hospital, it is also one of the Regional Children Hospital.
View from the top. Is that big??
View from the front. In front of the hospital, is the car park, free of charge. Next to it will be the car park with ‘entrance fee’. I think the hospital in Kuching should consider this car park with ‘entrance fee’
The gate to the hospital, if not mistaken, only 1 gate available.
Small ‘tunnel’ for people to pass through. With Guard house.
The place where we have our class.
Our classroom.
This is the Adult Regional Hospital Kursk
That’s all for this post, time to go for fun!! It’s SATURDAY~!

If you’re a medical field related personnel, you might ask me what type of Shock. But in this case, I can’t tell you exactly which type of shock I had last night.
Around 9pm, Hostel Vice Dean came to each room and inform us that we (who stay in 3rd floor) will be EVACUATED next semester, because they want to renovate 3rd floor for new coming students. And each of us is assigned to new room.
This is a great opportunities for those who want to switch roommates, but from the last night “attacks” or “shock”, I found that most of them (98%) want to stay with their roommates again in their “new room”. No matter how much they hate (sometimes only 1 way) each other, but in the last moment aka emergency, they want to stay back with their roommates. From here, I can see that the “partnership” or “roommate-ship” which began 6 years ago is not as soft as cloud or cotton, but as firm as concrete.
Most of the people got their new assigned room, while my roommate and I haven’t, because there is no empty room to accommodate us, the vice dean tends to separate us, but we told him, we want to be in 1 room. So vice dean will find room for us, and the room number is unknown yet.
Please pray for us that we will get the room asap, and it is better that they only start renovate the rooms after we graduate. Thanks
Currently I’m still recovering from the shock..

Just finished our Clinical Immunology cycle. It was a relax and free cycle. During the break time, we discussed about our Annual General Meeting cum Annual Dinner 2008 in the end of year. Too fast to discuss? Actually not so fast already, just 1 and half month to go…
Booked my winter tour 2009 flight tickets. They cost more than what I estimated, but I think still in acceptable and “handle-able” range.
Tomorrow we are going to start a completely new cycle, called Children Infection. I think it is more therapeutic side… and it must be quite busy too.
