Check out thes Crumpler bags I got for review!  Stylish, chic and very capable of protecting your camera and gadgets with the quality of materials they use and the functional designs of these different bags.

5 Million Dollar Home

Polished professional. Aspiring Amateur. Happy snappy chappy or chapette. It makes no difference. If you want to haul a basic set of camera or video equipment, and protect it from the elements and things that go bump in the night or day, give the Five Million Dollar Home a shot.

Offering more capacity and flexibility than the Four Million Dollar Home, it’s as tough as old boots, water resistant, comfortable to carry and choc-a-bloc with quick access pockets and customisable space.

VELCRO SILENCERS

Lurking behind the bagís velcro fasteners are matching velcro silencer flaps. Pull ‘em out. Press ‘em in position. Open and close on the QT, then lock down with the side release compression straps. Ssshhhhimple!

FLEXIBLE, ACCESSIBLE SPACE

To ensure you can put in lots of gear, we first put in lots of thought. That’s why the main compartment features two configurable brushed padded nylon dividers with fold down flaps, plus a separate zippered mesh pocket. Why the dual zone front pocket features gusseted sides. And why you can access the side stuff pockets without even opening the bag.

WIDE, ADJUSTABLE LENGTH STRAP

The more gear you carry, the more you need a wide shoulder strap to distribute its weight. That’s why the Five Million Dollar Home’s shoulder strap is made from 50mm flamed polypropylene webbing. Complete with tri-glide buckle system, it will go to almost any lengths to help you get that great shot.

PADDED CARRY HANDLE

Cushioned with EVA foam for maximum comfort, the ergonomically styled carry handle is shaped to match the natural contours of your hand and fingers.

QUAD ACCESSORY LOOPS

Left and right pairs of reinforced side accessory loops let you attach other photo-gidgetry and gadgetry for instant access.

WATERPROOFING MEASURES

The seamless one-piece 900D base prevents water seepage when the bag is placed on wet surfaces, while the double thickness 900D flap does the same to rain, hail, sleet, snow, beer and mixed drinks.

4 Million Dollar Home

Polished professional. Aspiring Amateur. Happy snappy chappy or chapette. It makes no difference. If you want to haul a basic set of camera or video equipment, and protect it from the elements and things that go bump in the night or day, give the Four Million Dollar Home a shot.

Offering more capacity and flexibility than the Three Million Dollar Home, it’s as tough as old boots, water resistant, comfortable to carry and choc-a-bloc with quick access pockets and customisable space.

VELCRO SILENCERS

Lurking behind the bagís sizeable velcro fasteners are matching velcro silencer flaps. Pull ‘em out. Press ‘em in position. Open and close on the QT, then lock down with the compression strap. Ssshhhhimple!

FLEXIBLE, ACCESSIBLE SPACE

To ensure you can put in lots of gear, we first put in lots of thought. That’s why the main compartment features two configurable brushed padded nylon dividers with fold down flaps, plus a separate zippered mesh pocket. Why the dual zone front pocket features gusseted sides. And why you can access the side stuff pockets without even opening the bag.

WIDE, ADJUSTABLE LENGTH SHOULDER STRAP

The more gear you carry, the more you need a wide shoulder strap to distribute its weight – and the more you’ll appreciate the Four Million Dollar Home’s soft but strong 38mm flamed polypropylene webbing. Complete with tri-glide buckle system, it will go to almost any lengths to help you get that great shot.

ACCESSORY LOOP

The reinforced side accessory loop lets you attach other photo-gidgetry and gadgetry for instant access.

WATERPROOFING MEASURES

Be it rain, hail, sleet, snow, beer or mixed drinks, the bag’s 900D outer is designed to weather the storm and keep your equipment dry.

ANTI-ABSRASIVE SURFACES

The 900D outer and brushed padded nylon interior combine phenomenal strength with exceptional smoothness and malleability. Your clothes don’t catch. Your equipment don’t get scratched.

The Hoax

Reserved only for LTD Edition projects, The Hoax is always a crowd pleaser.

FLEXIBLE, ACCESSIBLE SPACE

To ensure you can put lots of stuff in and get to it pronto, we first put in lots of thought. That’s why the large main compartment is also host to a deep, velcro-fastened centre pocket plus left and right deep stuff pockets.

DUAL VELCRO FLAP FASTENERS

Seal the Hoax’s outer flap with its dual injection moulded velcro fasteners and even the most dexterous pocket pickerer will struggle to get their mischievous mitts in unnoticed.

WIDE, ADJUSTABLE LENGTH STRAP WITH REMOVABLE SHOULDER PAD

The more stuff you carry, the more you need a wide strap to distribute its weight – and the more you’ll appreciate the Hoax’s soft but strong 50mm flamed polypropylene webbing and removable Air Mesh shoulder pad. Complete with QuickFlick™ buckle system, it will go to almost any lengths to ensure the bag sits right where you want it.

DUAL QUICK RELEASE COMPRESSION STRAPS

Particularly paranoid about your personal belongings? Excess-ing your baggage? Bring the two quick release compression straps into play. Exhale. Click. Tighten. Done. What a cinch.

DUAL ACCESSORY LOOPS

One of the reinforced side accessory loops makes a handy hideaway for surplus strappage. The other is perfect for any frippery, baggery, gidgetry, gadgetry or other hangers on of your choosing.

REFLECTIVE STRIPES

Make yourself – and your views on passing motorists – plain as day, and even more obvious at night, with the bag’s twin reflective stripes.

The Barney Rustle Blanket

The exceptional that proves the rule, the full-featured Barney Rustle Blanket manages to be all things to all people seeking a messenger style bag as uniquely perfect as themselves.

Proportioned to carry loads without ever weighing you down, it fits A4/foolscap-sized folders in its 14-litre main compartment, plus all your digital doodads and everyday essentials across an array of easy access pockets. Dual velcro flap seals and closure straps with quick release locks keep everything secure, while the extra-wide, padded shoulder strap with patented third leg keep everything stable.

Loud and proud with its kaleidoscopic colour way combos, the Barney Rustle Blanket features a water resistant 1,000D outer complete with reflector strip and accessory loops, and a 300D Rip-stop lining. Like all Crumplers, it comes with a ‘Til death do us part’ lifetime warranty.

FLEXIBLE, ACCESSIBLE SPACE

To ensure you can put lots of stuff in and get to it pronto, we first put in lots of thought. That’s why the large main compartment is also host to a deep, velcro-fastened centre pocket plus left and right deep stuff pockets. Why there’s a full-width internal zippered pocket and external velcro-fastened front pouch. And why there’s a secreted external short stuff side pocket below both accessory straps.

DUAL VELCRO FLAP FASTENERS

Seal the Barney Rustle Blanket’s outer flap with its dual injection moulded velcro fasteners and even the most dexterous pocket pickerer will struggle to get their mischievous mitts in unnoticed.

WIDE, ADJUSTABLE LENGTH STRAP WITH REMOVABLE SHOULDER PAD

The more stuff you carry, the more you need a wide strap to distribute its weight – and the more youíll appreciate the Barney Rustle Blanket’s soft but strong 50mm flamed polypropylene webbing and removable Air Mesh shoulder pad. Complete with QuickFlick™ buckle system, it will go to almost any lengths to ensure the bag sits right where you want it.

DUAL QUICK RELEASE COMPRESSION STRAPS

Particularly paranoid about your personal belongings? Excess-ing your baggage? Bring the two quick release compression straps into play. Exhale. Click. Tighten. Done. What a cinch.

THIRD LEG STABILISER

See that extra little strap thingee dangling off the Barney Rustle Blanket’s shoulder strap? Itís our 11 herbs and spices secret recipe third leg. Clip it under your left arm, then adjust your strap lengths and shoulder pad position. Badabing! The bag is stable and your load is on your back right where it should be.

Western Lawn

Like a little more personal space for the personal belongings you can’t carry on your person? Then join yourself at the hip with the particularly schmick Western Lawn.

A no frills, no fuss, less-is-more messenger style baggage buddy, the Western Lawn is large enough to hold an A4/foolscap-sized folder, and organised enough to compartmentalise your carryings on into two external pockets, three internal pockets and a large main cargo space in whatever way takes your fancy.

The water resistant 1,000D outer features a dual velcro-fastened flap for security, and a slashing contrast stripe for show. There’s also a strap trap accessory loop, while the Quick Flick™ buckle lets you adjust the carrying height of the Western Lawn as easily and expeditiously as its name suggests.

FLEXIBLE, ACCESSIBLE SPACE

To ensure you can put lots of stuff in and get to it pronto, we first put in lots of thought. That’s why the large main compartment is also host to a deep, velcro-fastened centre pocket plus left and right deep stuff pockets.

Marshall Headphones Major

I’ve never seen quite a unique packaging for headphones.  It looks vintage but edgy.

Quite my taste, it has a simple white and gold pallete.  Simple but elegant.  The sound quality is also pretty good.  Not the best I’ve heard but for the price, this eye-candy is value for money.

Highlights:

• super comfortable ear chushion that feels like marshmallows covering your ears
• fully collapsable construction 
• light
• compatible with any 3.5mm / 6.3mm audio jack 
• 1 year premium replacement warranty
• mic and remote for cellphone use

So far, I am very satisfied with my new point-and-shoot camera!  I tried the manual settings which is way much easier to set than an LX3 or LX5, but I decided to set everything in “Auto” mode and see how intelligent the camera is without me manipulating it. 

The only Intelligent Auto I trust so far is that of Panasonic Lumix, but the Canon S100 is not bad!

Here are the photos, unedited, except for the Watermarks I put.  You be the judge

Near Sunset

I love how colorful the sky is

Another Sky shot. 

Twilight shot… spot the moon!

Indoor, low-light shot.  Still reflects vibrant colors, due to the f 2.0

Indoor shot without flash

Wide shot at 24mm

Marshal headphones! You like?

again, no edits.. and it’s pretty dim in the room so good job I say!

I also tested Canon S100′s video which is at 1080p FULL HD (an upgrade to the S95). Check out the video here

So I just bought a new camera for myself.  I decided to buy Point-and-shoot first before investing again in a better and upgraded SLR.

And my choice – the new Canon S100 camera!  The predecessor of S90 and S95!

One of the latest features is the Full HD recording at 1080/24p

So let’s see.. so far I am so satisfied with the performance… I will try to upload more reviews about photo in the coming days.

My blog has been transformed into a travel blog lately coz that’s what I’ve been doing recently.  I can’t complain, I love the Gypsy kind of life  This week, I’m off to flee for Malaysia for the Nuffnang Asia Pacific Blog Awards!

More travel accessories I bring up my sleeve:

The Limpet

I used to travel without identifiable name tags and it confuses the monkey out of me!  The purpose of the limpet is to put a fashionable and in-your-face-this-is-not-your-bag-it’s-mine notice to whoever would potentially grab your bag by accident.

Price: P750

The Limpet is stylish and looks like an added design or accessory to your travel bag.

It does not expose at once your identity because your details are covered.

If you’re looking out for your bag to appear in that luggage conveyer belt – it should be easy to spot with your stylish  Limpet!

The Carrot

The carrot serves as a lot of things.  Mainly, it looks like a very stylish pencil case but you can also put a lot of other things inside.

For me, I am using this to put some of my make-up brushes for travel.  Also, I could think of putting my gadget wires in here.  For artists, pencils, portable brushes and inks.

What’s nice is that the fabric they use are pretty solid.  In that case, I don’t have to worry about my make-up leaking or anything like that.

The Noose

The Noose is perfect for clumtards like me!  I actually broke my beloved Nikon D40 SLR before.  And having this with me again should avoid any future damage do my gadgets.

Price: P850

It is only available at “Crumpler Bonifacio Highstreet, Crumpler SM Megamall & Crumpler Trinoma”
