2 Mega-pixels & Out Of Focus

My 3-week old oh-so-svelt-and-sexy Samsung X820 comes with a 2mp built-in camera.

And why buy a handphone with a camera if you're not gonna snap photos rite? Except that the idiots at Samsung didn't provide a USB driver for MACs, only for PCs. So I had to use K's Fujitsu to get these blurry photos downloaded and subsequently uploaded. Does anybody know of some decent Samsung USB-driver freeware that works for MACs?

Got to get used to Handphone Photography though. Cannot play around with shutter speed/aperture, cannot set ISO, cannot set White-balance, no flash (what to do dun have Xenon flash like the new SE K800i). Hell can't even focus properly. Point and Shoot and hope for the best =))

Dinner tonight was at our usual Miharu's, a little hole-in-the-wall establishment tucked away in one un-hip corner of the hip, boutique Gallery Hotel.


As you can see, very zen-like spartan and sits all of..erm..20 people max. Typical Japanese Tuna can.


Authentic Hokkaido-style Special Miso Ramen. Trust me, it tastes better than it looks. None of the mass-produced Ajisen shit.


And then we popped into The Book Cafe across the road.


Nice cosy place with plush sofas, mood lighting, ambient acid jazz and yes, plenty of books and magazines. Could spend the entire afternoon here reading and chilling. From TIME to Tolstoy. Pity they don't have WIFI =))


Cafe Mocha and a slice of Banana Chocolate cake. Very sedap!


Hidden gems, both places, so you guys should check it out.
