I bought my Sony α200 on 6 June 2008. In about three weeks time it would be my first anniversary as a DSLR user. Since that purchase, I’ve bought a couple of lenses, a tripod, a protective filter and a strobe (flash unit). If you think that’s too much subsequent purchases for a hobby; believe me there are others who are way more absorbed in their photographic gear than yours truly.
For the lack of a more creative title, I present to you some pictures I took of a bee gathering pollen from a bunch of flowers at my parents’ garden.

So it’s virtually confirmed; the price of petrol (or gas for you American folks) in Malaysia will be hiked. Abdullah Badawi says it will be announced and implemented tomorrow (Wednesday, 4 June 2008). Shahrir Samad (Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister) says although the announcement might come tomorrow, implementation would take longer.
So who’s right? Our PM flip-flops so much that I find it becoming harder everyday to believe what he says. I tend to swing towards Datuk Shahrir in this issue, primarily because he’s a trained economist and petrol price control is under his ministry’s area of responsibility.
However, I can’t resist the temptation to guess what’s the new price of petrol would be soon. I’m sure many Malaysians and non-Malaysians do to. So why not make this guesswork (or speculation as our beloved PM seems to call it) be both fun and profitable.
I am now officially launching the “HTNet Speculate Guess The New Price Of Malaysian Petrol Contest” where there can only be one winner. The first person who guesses the correct revised price for a liter of petrol in Malaysia will be given $30 (USD)!

I was in the midst of a bloghopping session and found a link to The Masked Millionaire. Now, before you think that this must be one of those irritating “make money online” blogs, I’m happy to tell you that it’s not.
The person behind The Masked Millionaire claims that he recently won just under $350 million in a lottery draw. Wow, that’s over a third of a billion US dollars! He’s also going to blog about his life as a freshly minted multi-millionaire.

I’m currently posting this from a slow dial up connection so I got to make this real quick. Here’s wishing all HTNet regular readers a happy and prosperous Chinese new year! May the year of the rat bring us good fortune all year ’round.
And now, back to my scheduled CNY break
