modern life = busy & hectic?
----------------------------
i guess i'll be travel very less this year as most major projects r in SG.. sometimes, travel out occasionally is very healthy
i seldom blog lately.. got lotsa stuff to write, but just don't have the time to sit down peacefully n write out something, pathetic right?
hence, my life is pretty boring with work, work & work.. and lotsa coordination and minor stuff needs my attention.
a lot of changes also happen at my workplace, kinda demoralized.. gd workers leaving one-by-one, left those good-for-nothing idiotic fella who know how to open their mouth and sending/receiving emails daily!
frankly speaking.. i value good working relationship rather than money..dun believe, try me!
oh.. lately my peers (my 2 little kakia) ask for my birthdate/time to see my fortune, huh.. am not sure how accurate they are lar.. but according to them, here's the analysis:
- work life pretty busier
- relationship among friends/colleagues, good
- be wary of back-stabber & 'small peoples', lotsa them
- love life = no luck for the coming year
hmmph.. guess it is time for me to spend some time to really think of what i want in my life, i guess.. IT IS TIME!
at last... at last i brave myself to splash a whopping $2.3k on my new dSLR. after months of research and comparison, i narrow down to just a few and at the end of the day, haiz.. no such thing as good & cheap
i bought a Canon EOS 400D, here's the breakdown:
400d body + battery grip + tamron 17-50mm F2.8 lens = $2.3k
good?
nope.. as i still need to get some basic stuffs like a dry cabinet (ard $300), a 100mm macro lens (ard $1k) & a flash gun (ard $600).
so around $4k to get the basic photography equipments, worth?
dun forget the upcoming diff varieties of lenses.. more to come!
k guys, here are some of the photo of my 400d
i didn't take the original lens come with the camera, it sucks.. n useless
the photo here are with the battery grip which cost me additional $180
here's the tamron lens that i get
17-50mm F2.8 which cost me ard $700 (1 piece)
and the professional camera bag which my buddies bought me for present last year, haha
they purposely get me an expensive camera bag.. to force me to go into photography, u say buddies or not?
i can't blame any1.. 1 of my interests too
most of my buddies are into photography.. some just spend $3k+ on one telephoto lens, some spend almost $5k on a 2nd hand camera body..
compare to them, mine just small fly lar
i should long join their league.. cos they're like my mom, like to nag..
now those idiots (my pig-dog friends) started to influence me to get a car, time to get a car.. waleu.. they think i got a laser color jet at home, can print out notes at the speed of 40 notes per minute.
frankly speaking... i guess my 3 groups of buddies (NTU, UOL & ACS)...lemme think2.. if i'm not wrong, most of them own a car already & leading a comfortable life
most of them are high flyer.. and i'm one of those who are slow & chasing hard.. damn it..but i'm delighted & happy as most of them are quite supportive, helpful & good to me.
oh.. i also help ahsi to get a panasonic lumix fx-50 from SG as she told me the price is more expensive in MY.
ahsi - here's the photo i've taken using yr fx-50 via macro mode
if u cannot take good photo with that camera, meaning yr skills not up to the par wor.. dun blame the camera
