Surprised by myself..and Revival

I was surprised today, by someone. And that person is Myself.

I googled "Pentax kr" to check its physical dimensions to compare with another camera and clicked on on of the results and saw this blog popped out. I stopped for 1 second to realise how familiar this layout was and figured it *was* is my own creation.

Now, if you came to this blog, you would have realised that there hasn't been any updates since March 2011. I sincerely apologise to those that commented on my post with questions on how to get the K-r. "Sorry!" (Ans: visit http://www.clubsnap.com/forums/pentax/ )

This blog was overshadowed since March 2011 by more real-life happenings like the tiring fatherhood and fifinancial challenges. Although K-r has been announced to be discontinued, I promise to revive this blog! Kindly wait for next update.
