Hey guys,

Check it out!

Yesterday, I went out for a late lunch with my family at Seoul Garden HarbourFront branch. It was a rainy afternoon, but we reached our booking time. While the rest of the family went to the restaurant, my nephew and I went to park the car. 

Parking spaces are always a problem in a shopping center, even during the holidays. We had to wait a while before finding a spot near the lift. Been a while since I last went to Harbour Front. We used to take ferries to Sentosa Island.

We used to go to Sentosa to swim and picnics. I remember going there with my schoolmates to watch a rock concert. It's totally different now and they offer more for tourism. I haven't been to Sentosa since then. They have built part of it for the rich to live.

Singapore is a haven for the rich. It's not cheap to live in Sg. To live in sg, you need a job. Sound simple. That's why you have many foreigners working here. As a modern city, you need many workers to work and keep it running like a machine 24-7.

I've wanted to test the Kodak Pixpro FZ55 camera that I recently bought. I'm impressed. I was afraid of stability while taking pictures and videos. You can set the camera to anti-shakiness. You still have to keep your hands from moving all over the place. 

Although there is still shakiness to the videos, it makes the videos edgy. I preferably set the mode to Auto. I like to concentrate on taking the pictures instead of dabbling with the settings. If you go out with people, they can be impatient when you're trying to use a camera to take that perfect picture.

People are so used to using their phones to quickly take photos that they forget the process. When I first got my Nikon Coolpix P950 camera and learned to use the camera, I started to enjoy taking pictures. I even started using the technique when using a mobile phone camera.

I began to notice things around me. I began to look at things from different angles and perspectives. I delve more into what I do with my camera and mobile phone camera. I like taking pictures of my food and posting them on Instagram and Facebook.

Yesterday, I didn't take photos of my outing with my phone but concentrated on using the FZ55. Because the size is small, I just keep it inside my pocket. When I wanted to take photos, I pulled it out of my pocket and clicked!

In fact, I mostly use it to take videos. You can watch the videos here or on my YouTube channel. For the price, the FZ55 is definitely a bargain. You can use it for basic everyday photography and videography. And, I love editing videos using the free Microsoft Clipchamp software. 

I enjoyed my lunch and taking pictures and videos with the Kodak Pixpro FZ55!
