Thanks guys, I appreciate!

Francis, the sonnar is indeed very good and sharp. It just shines with your favorite film...

Provia 400X + Sonnar is a magic combo!

Centrestage-
In life, am just a minor character on stage-like the guy tucked in the corner. You will be in the limelight and shine during certain period in life. However when the sun sets, the circular light patch will get smaller and soon you will be in the darkness.
Similarly, there are ups and downs in life. If you wanna prosper, you gonna climb the stairs, tedious but you get to enjoy the light for a bit longer. Each timber tread has its own texture, each piece is different, just like in life you face different people different events each day. If you are lucky enough, you get support from friends and family, just like holding on to the railing.
In life, the road is never straight and always winding and full of surprises. Should you afraid to pick up the first step, you can choose the easy way out and stay put on ground.

Enough say, let us get moving ;p Up to level 2
