Butterscotch calf + Panerai combination

I have ordered this strap 3 weeks before Chinese new year.It has been lying in my drawer for quite sometime.
I have plenty of different straps for my PAM 111 mainly in dark color and i have been always wanted a light color strap.
I was looking at Manifatture Firenze(MF) and strap work.At the end of the day i have chosen the 1860 PAV inspiration butterscotch calf with yellow stitching over the MF WWII calf..:)
Here goes some of the snaps for the combination.

without the predisposed for tube mounting but it's thick enough to fit the gap between the lug.

The width is 24mm x 24mm and the length is 120mm x 80mm with a polished buckle.

Here comes the wrist shot!

The strap is soft and comfy,I'm impressed not only with the quality but the good packing and prompt delivery as well.
Some background of strap work:
It's established by Jonathan Kiu in 2004.It was the first aftermarket vendor to design and produce accessories for Officine Panerai.The first 1860/1950 PAV inpiration series have won www.timezone.com strap of the year for 2005.Kudos!

Victoria station

Kelvin,Elvin and I decided to treat ourself and our tastebud with a good dineer after a day long training.

I'm not really a chocolate lover,but i found this choco cake is not too sweet and the choco layer was really thick.

The main course of the night, medium rare VS steak with wild mushroom and topped with brown sauce.

Below are some information on the degree to which a steak cooked:

Raw-basically the steak is uncooked.

Blue Rare/very rare-cooked very quickly;the outside is seared and the inside is usually cool and barely cooked.

Rare-The outside is gray-brown, and the middle of the steak is red and slightly warm.

Medium Rare- The steak will have a fully red, warm center.

Medium-The middle of the steak is hot and red with pink surrounding the center. The outside is gray-brown.

Medium well done-The meat is light pink surrounding the center.

Well done- The meat is gray-brown throughout and slightly charred. It's hard like a stone!

The dinner was good,we enjoyed the food,the dessert and the service as well.

Good Morning,KL

Good Morning!
I was in the first plane out to KL on Monday. I was flying with Fireflyz again,so far i dont have any problem with the service and schedule and the best part is i don't have to spend another hour in the cab out from KLIA.
Here are some fact on the aircraft:
the modern turbo propeller ATR 72-500,which operates at lower altitude and leaving the ozone unaffected which means that the ATR is a greener aircraft if compare with other aircraft such as the Boeing and Airbus. The ATR not only is fuel efficient but it is also generate less noise.In other words,i'm contributing my effort to make the earth greener too by flying with fireflyz.

This was my first time seeing sunrise from 15000 ft above sea level,I enjoyed the scene so much.

I'm gonna spend another long week in KL for my new job training.

Can't wait to get home sap as my room renovation is gonna end soon.

p/s: i should have posted this on monday night..:)

柚.Yuzu

I was in The garden, mid valley with brother last week.
We had our dinner in Yuzu Japanese restaurant.
I'm missing the BBQ Kobe beef so badly..:P

the slice beef teppanyaki

The chicken teppanyaki set
The juicy BBQ Kobe beef..yummy!

Why is the Kobe beef so famous and pricey?
i did some research on that.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Kobe beef (神戸ビーフ, Kōbe Bīfu^?) refers to beef from the black Tajima-ushi breed of Wagyu cattle, raised according to strict tradition in Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan. Kobe beef is renowned for its flavour, tenderness, and fatty well-marbled texture."

In general belief,some said the cattle are fed with beer and sake and they have their own private masseur and fur stylist.
No wonder it's so pricey!

Finally...it's born!

I have been thinking to start a blog of mine for the past few years..God knows why it has been dragged and delayed..:)
finally,to day is the day!

the best and the closest I'm having is my multiply site.
http://ckng515.multiply.com/
it's like a photo journal of my own,rather than a BLOG!
To me a blog must have regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video,
It's like a story telling or a open diary;which means that from now on, i will have to write more..
So be my guest!
