Spend my birthday dinner @ The Coast in Alamanda Putrajaya. The service there sucked as no one bother to take our order until I walk up to them and sarcastically told them off.

Cheese Nachos (I almost died after 1 bite as I started to chocked). LOL

Volcano Ribeye Steak (What's supposed to represent the Volcano?)

And I suspect the waitress there don't understand english as it was served over cooked rather than medium as I wanted.

Trio Dip, the only dish that didn't go wrong. LOL

Would I go back to The Coast to eat? If I feel like eating TGIF food at a lower cost, then yes, but I won't step into Alamanda's The Coast for it.

Would like to ask all the veterans here, why is it that some of my photos even with the same settings and same angles, come out blur? There's one that I took with timer and the camera sitting on the dining table, and still it comes out blur. C&C are welcome. TQ

I was playing around with the shutter priority settings and have it @ 4.

This is what I got off the EXIF of the RAW.

ISO800
f/9.0 1/4
Exposure Mode: Auto

Wa..1/4 shutter speed is way too low for handheld. Ideally, it should be at least 1/(focal length x crop factor)

Not all of it are blur. The blur one was not posted. These are the better ones that I could capture. I've got the Coke cans and the Fried Chicken Salad that I deleted cause it turns out blur.

Just support your hands on anything you could find and take as many shots as possible...LOL..surely there'll be a decent one. :-)

Quite hard to do that when you have a date that is very animated and constantly moving the table when she talks. Have to resort to just take a deep breath and hope for the best when capturing the shot. LOL.
