I just purchased a 52mm Hoya CPL filter on my D40. Here is the result of the effect.

Frankly the picture came out better than it actually is.

Kuala Selangor is a laid back small town. To get there from KL, head to the NKVE highway and cut off Sg. Buloh. Then drive through a trunk road all the way to Kuala Selangor. Total journey time would take approximately 1 - 1.5 hours depending on the traffic I guess.

Beautiful sunset pictures.

Of all the airports I have been to I have to take my hats off Voted World’s Best Airport - Hong Kong International Airport. The airport is totally organised, clean and totally complete.

Before checking it there were tons of restaurants to choose from. Thai, Vietnamese and of course western and chinese food. We tried some chinese restaurant at terminal two (where airasia docks) and the dim sum served was pretty ok. We had - har kau, char siew pau, porridge and siew mai - standard stuffs and tea - At first I thought the meal would be expensive but to my surprised it was about HKD88. It was truly value for money.

Chinese restaurant at terminal two.

Toilets are totally clean and lights all brightly lited up. The whole airport is filled with restaurants and shops to keep anyone busy while waiting for their flights.

Beautifully architectured airport - it could possibly be better than Changi Airport. Wait a minute, it is better than Changi.

Cleanest airport I have been too. Much much cleaner than our KLIA and a thousand times better than our LCCT.

There is even a Disney shop in the airport.

You could get good bargains at the Disney shop at the airport. Last minute shopping couldn’t be so great.

Checking in is so organised and pretty high teched.

More and more shops everywhere - and restaurants upstairs.

Most children friendly airport I have ever been to. A children area for them to watch their favourite cartoons.

Never short of branded shops.

A truly 5 star airport and if given a chance I would most probably wouldn’t mind transitting here.

Tested on the Garmin 205W and my personal opinion of the Garmin navigator is pretty handy. Though some functions didn’t seem to work like searcing for a particular place by searching my street address didn’t quite find anything. However you’ll never get lost with this baby.

The good thing about this is that whenever you are some place - e.g. Taiping - and you needed to find a place to eat, a couple push of a button - e.g. finding some place of interest like restaurants and wah la.. you could get a whole range of restaurant choices.

Overall it is a good buy. For about RM950 ++ you may want to consider buying this gadget.

For those with kids and would like to experience an all day event at Disneyland - it is good to put up at the Disney’s hotel. We put up at the Disney’s Hollywood hotel and it was a nice experience.

The room we got was a 2 x double bedroom - ample space from our Dorsett Seaview room - at least 3 times the size. hahaha.. As you can see the pictures above, LCD TV with loads of Disney channels that your kids would love.

Nice double beds. Very comfortable.

Pantry area.

Everything has a mickey mouse theme even on their shampoos and bubble baths.

Bathroom comes with a nice full size bath tub.

Everything including their lamps has the mickey logo on it.

Bedroom slippers free for you to take home and it even comes with 3 bottles of mineral water free! Good souvenirs.

And since it was already late we decided to get a quick meal at the restaurant below. We  ate at their international buffet restaurant which closes at 10 p.m. and costs us about HKD600 for two. Pricey but quite standard for buffet dinners. Even if you were to have buffet dinners at a hotel in KL, it would cost you about RM100++ per person. There are other diners available in the hotel but we didn’t know at first. We thought this was the only one.

There were a huge varieties to choose from - the international buffet offers seafood, chinese food - e.g. dim sum, vegetables, sweet and sour stuffs, thai, indian, bbq stuff, wide range of desserts, soups, etc.

Chinese dishes.

Japanese and seafood. The crabs are the japanese type crabs with long legs. Can hardly find them in KL. I think.

Overall our one night stay at Disney’s Hollywood Hotel was a pleasant one. Would I come back here again? Oh definitely. Perhaps we would like to stay at the other Disney’s hotel the next time around.
