Poor little birdie

Finally, I plucked enough courage to walk along my "simpang" (street) and managed a few pictures. I didn't expect to find many eye-catching items. Well, lookie look, what have we here! I've been trying to find time and venues to familiarise myself with the 18-200mm. I found it difficult to use during events as I am currently struggling with weight issue, despite the small 450D. Last I tried using it at a function, it was tough trying to use the zoom while I had the weight of the camera with the flash on my other hand. Not to mention an entirely different ball game we're playing with moving subjects. Alas, any practice is good experience.
