Months upon months of spy shots, teasers, renderings and endless speculation have come to their culmination as Alfa Romeo this morning released official images and details of the highly-anticipated new Mi.To. As we previously reported, the Mi.To name – an abbreviation for Milan and Turin (also meaning “myth” or “legend” in Italian as our astute commenter Nick pointed out) – won out for the final nameplate over the internal designation “Junior” and the proposed name “Furiosa”.

Alfa is quick to point out that the Mi.To is the first new model introduced since the 8C Competizione, and the new hatch draws heavily on the supercar’s styling, as you can see from the images in the gallery below. If you tried to morph an 8C with a Fiat 500, you wouldn’t be far off, but the Centro Stile Alfa Romeo appears to have bridged the gap with considerable finesse. Alfa Romeo also confirmed that the Mi.To will initially be offered with a range of four turbocharged fours, with horsepower ranging from 90 to 155, with even stronger engines to follow. The Mi.To’s official presentation will come in June before market introductions begin in July. For more details, scope out the press release after the jump.

Kitorg shoot kat lake garden.. Masa tu lewat sikit.. Matahari terik betul masa tu.. Tapi Eva tetap cekal duduk dalam stroller walaupun kulit dah macam ketam kena rebus.. Merahhhhhh..

Lucky that Tisya’s parents ikut sekali.. Diorg tolong tengok2kan  Eva.. Thank you uncle and aunty.. We had few stops utk portraiture tu.. Sebab kesiankan family Tisya kena ikut je, kitorg decided that her family member2 goes to the Zoo kejap while waiting for us to shoot.. So they did and they had great fun..

Lepas shoot, we went to a very famous restaurant in Taiping.. “DOLI”.. This place is well known for its charchoal fried kuey tiau kerang.. Saya and Yanty dh plan lama dah nak belanja diorg kat sini.. But before we managed to reach the cashier, her families cepat2 pegi bayar.. Adeylaaa.. diorg pulak yg belanja kami.. Host jenis apo la kitorg ni..

After lunch, we brought them all to our gallery and passes them their physical album.. They hang out for a while and made the jourey back to Kampar (Rumah Hizzol).. Before they left, Tisya presented us with a Traditional Sabahan Bamboo Wind Chimes.. Bestnyeeee.. It was the first time that a client had given us a present.. We love the wind chime sooooo much!!! Thank you Tisya..

Lepas salam2, peluk2, kiss2.. They said goodbye.. Sedih rasanya to see them leave.. We were so close with her family when we were in Sabah for 5 days.. They had been a good host and they have treated us very extra good.. I would really like to go there again to give them all a visit.. “WE ARE ATTACHED!!!”

Hope to see you guys again.. Love you all!!!

Tengah dok lepak2 tu, dapat sms dr Saiful Nang.. (lupa nak cakap awal2.. SN nak turun tepeng lepak2.. Lama x borak2 dgn dia.. Ni 2nd time dia turun tepeng melepak..) Dia sms tanya pukul brp saya free.. Told him I’ll meet him at 9.. So SN n Intan (wifey) pegi la check in dulu.. Lepas tu saya pun SMs la kawan2 photographer taiping yang lain supaya diorg pun boleh join sekali.. Then saya pun salam2 and chow la dari kopitiam tu.. Singgah rumah mak jap ambil Eva bawak balik.. Mandikan Eva and mandikan diri sendiri and got out of the house just before the clock reached 9..

Took SN to kamunting and we had dinner bersama2 dgn 11 orang jurugambar lain.. Yanty and Hafiz arrived from Jitra just on time to join us malam tu..

Kitorg lepak2 la sampai pukul 12.. Takleh nak lepak lama sangat sebab esok awal pagi ada portraiture session kat lake garden.. Said goodbye to SN, Intan and the group and we headed home.. Sampai je rumah, mcm biasa la.. Sessi upload gambar dari camera ke PC and buat backup.. Sambil2 tu cuci2 la camera and charge battery.. About 4 am baru la kami semua berjumpa dgn bantal..

14th of March :

Haritu Yanty dgn Hafiz (asst Yanty) ada shoot kat Jitra.. So, tinggal la saya dgn Eva je kat rumah.. Takde buatpe pun.. Sibuk kemas2 rumah, masak, makan, kasik Eva makan and mandi and such.. Bosan pulak bila tinggal berdua je camni (Agaknya Eva pun rasa macam ni gak bila abah and mommy ada assignment outstation.. Malam tu assistant saya (Shafeeq) sampai dari KL.. Fetch dia kat Stn bas and then kitorg pun pegi dinner (hantar Eva kat rumah opah dia dulu). Malam tu brief asst ttg assignment esok yang kami nak kena cover. Kat Taiping je pun wedding tu.. Lebih kurang pukul 3 pagi baru la kami tidur..

Ok.. The plan was to stay at the resort for two nights.. But the whole lodging experience was something really2 bad.. Perhaps we were there at the wrong time.. The rooms were lousy.. The door to the bath was falling apart.. The service were bad.. (We had to carry our luggages from and to our car.. Takde orang tolong pun.. “Excellent” hospitality..)And what disappoints me most was the swimming pool was out of order.. Hey.. At least inform us earlier la before we paid.. Schmucks!!!!

Tapi takpelah.. Since we’ve already paid for “the not so cheap” room.. We better make it worth it lah kan.. So.. We kept ourselves positive and tried to enjoy ourselves.. We spent the noon chillin.. Relax2.. Jalan2 tepi laut.. Later that evening.. We had a dip dekat gigi2 air tu.. Takdela mandi sangat.. Saje je celup2 kaki and rendam2 badan.. Jadi la kan? Kata pegi lauttt.. huhu.. aaaaaaaah.. It was Eva’s first ever experience of the salty water.. We bought her a float earlier.. Most of the time she was “frozen” dalam float tu.. Kejung gilo.. hahaha.. So cute I must tell you.. There’s some photos of her with the float below..

For dinner, kitorg makan food yang dah siap masak kat rumah.. Cut cost sikit.. Lagipun dari Teluk Rubiah ni nak masuk town macam jauh sikit and very the gelap.. (I’ve been here before and we were prepared.. )..

The next day pulak.. Sebelum check out, kitorg pegi main laut lagi sekali.. Tak heavy pun.. Saja2 je.. Its not our intention to swim pun.. Just to escape and clear our head.. So, mandi laut was not our main agenda.. Main sikit2 je..

We checked out and head to Lumut for lunch.. Then my mom and sis bought themselves some souvenirs and we made our way back home..

Along the way, kitorg singgah makan tepi jalan kat Pantai Remis.. Nampak satu gerai ni ada jual “Mee Udang Lipan”.. Amende udang lipan ntah? We made a u-turn and stop for a taste of the shrimp.. Pelik gile siot.. Its not a regular shrimp.. Memang macam lipan.. Kecuali takde kaki banyakand kulit dia macam udang biasa.. Rasa pun lain sikit dari udang biasa..Well.. Its our first and last meal of Udang Lipan ever.. Takmau dah.. Pelik..

Reached Taiping just before dark.. Sent my mom and sis to their home and then kitorg pun balik la rumah sendiri.. Checked our email and layan maispes and such kejap.. Then we had a nice nap the whole evening..

Overall, it was not the best vacation we had.. But its better to have one than nothing rite? Next trip will be Penang pulak.. Better beach, better night life and better food.. Feringghi rulz!!!
