I’m still drooling…

The D300 and the 24-70mm, are both about 900g each. When you hold the camera, its heavy, but it appears to be very well balanced, which for the time being, I believe will promote balance = steady shots.

I’ll be taking this lens overseas on an 5 week holiday. You’ll hopefully see some nice photos soon. Nothing much interesting to take around my house.

Stay tuned….


I’m so full, from Sushi e

Siu and I ordered 3 rolls, 1 main, 1 soup and 2 glasses of wine. Having dessert now…. :)

This month, Siu and I, celebrated our monthly anniversary at Sushi e. Located at the Establishment Hotel, which is a well known bar scene for picking up in Sydney, we were greeted very politely at the side-entrance. Proceeding down the narrow hallway, we were greeted by a lift-man and the other staff, as they directed us up the lifts to Level 4 and down the the back to find Sushi-e.

The mood gives you a sense that you’re in a really trendy scene. Why do I say that? Well, if you knew me in person, you would know that I’m not exactly the bar or dance-party type of person. So, yes, that is my perception of such a place.

There were 4 japanese chefs, in a moderate size seating area, which makes the whole experience very personalised.

When we joined the table, our chef was sharing some sake with the guys next to us. I’m not the kind of person who openly converses with strangers, so I guess I would have been seen a little guarded at first. Oh wellz, I guess that’s the job of the chef here, to break the ice. And he did.

We ordered a lot of food! because we wanted to try so many things. Here’s our order list…

1x Glass of Trimbach Riesling
1x Glass of Torbreck (can’t remember exactly)
1x Sashimi Small
1x River Chicken
1x Soft Shell Crab
1x Dobinmushi
1x Dragon Ash Roll
1x Suki Yaki

Total = $144.00, plus tip.

Overall, I highly recommend this place. Check it out, here.
