Nokia E71 Camera Was Disappointing Until I Found ….

Nokia E71 Camera Was Disappointing Until I Found …. you must press ‘T’ on the keypad to focus on near object.
I was previously using Nokia 5610, XpressMusic Player. It has awesome camera which coincidentally has the same number of pixels as my E71. My 5610 produces great image, but not E71.
I was about to send it for servicing when one of my IT inclined student told me a ‘trick’ I need to press on Button T to focus on near objects before I press the shoot button. Thanks Caleb!
My student saves me a trip to Nokia service centre which I have planned to send my E71 for servicing.
And that the minor issue is resolved, I’m happy!
Do you have similar problem as me and how do you solve it? I would love to hear from you. Leave me a comment below.
Cheers!

Recommendations For Chinese Restaurant – Folk 60th Birthday

I sent out an email asking all my friends for Chinese Restaurants recommendation as I really don’t know where to eat other than Ding Tai Fung and perhaps my fav Crab – Melben @ AMK

Here are the replies of many of my friends. (There are repeated entries though)

Thanks, friends!

There’s a dim sum place near the subordinate court somewhere in the chinatown area (havelock rd? cant remember) that i like…very traditional HK to me…meaning the women there are pushing carts and screaming canto at one another…very ???haha. food was good as i remember…but i was only there for dim sum…which was very early i think at 8.30am…dunno whether their meals are good.

or come to shanghai, i know many good chinese places here!

Crystal jade (for good food at a reasonable price) or Tung Lok if you want to spend?

go to www.hungrygowhere.com

You can check blogs like ieatishootipost or hungrygowhere.com but these are the places my family usually go to

1) Dian Xiao Er – very value for money, they are opening 1 at JP in nov.

2) Soup Restaurant – the one at JP

3) Boon Lay Raja opp JEC – the very old fashioned chinese food kind which i dun like plus i think the prices are gg up, so not value for money

Other chi char place to rec

- the one at tiong bahru, erm i cant rem the exact block no but quite famous one

- XO fish bee hoon at HV

- there is one quite popular opp Chinese Garden MRT too

Tung Lok or Crystal Jade?
Old folks like dim sum… You can consider dat.

I know of a place that sells good xiao long tang bao (better than Ding Tai Fung), zha jiang noodles, red bean pan biscuit, etc beijing eats.  It’s old old kind of small shop but seems to be famous even to local celebs (at least I saw Wen Shu Sheng aka MediaWorks ex-top mgt, Chef Eric Teo, MTV VJ Nadia that day I went).  By the way, u are only allow in when all ur ppl have arrived.

chinese food and eating out not quite my forte.. but the very few places I’ve been to include

- Bosses (vivocity)

- Noble House (UIC Building) – its chinese buffet style, under Tung Lok group

- Lao Beijing quite highly recommended though I’ve never tried it..

- and  i think our good old boring Crystal Jade..

I recommend Gim Tim in Ang Mo Kio. My family used to go there for
celebrations, like bd. The chinese name is jin3 zhen1. Will definitely
go there when i go home….yummmmmm. dunno if it is too far for you to
go though…
