New Year, New Gadget, New Hobby=)

I just came back from Malaysia again, just went to some island near JB to relax for the weekend. After a long string of parties, this was a perfect getaway from the fast pace life that has been going on lately. I did some new stuff in Malaysia and played with something i never dreamed i would ever play with in my life. But i will leave those stories for the next post.

1st Jan 09 (Time is flying on an F16 fighter plane nowadays)
As of now, I want to blog about New Years Day itself. This is the day before i left for Malaysia btw so don get the dates mixed up. It was the happiest day for this year so far! haha! (It was only the first day of the year.)

So after the non stop daily parties, I wanted to spend new years day by myself for a few hours. During this time, i went to get something i wanted for quite a while now. Yes thats right my friends, I finally bought my SLR camera. I was considering between a Nikon D60 which cost $780 and a Nikon D40 which was going at $670. So after much consideration i realized i was going to pay $110 for just a 4.2 megapixel difference which actually has no different in picture quality unless you are going to enlarge the picture at least 20 times its original size. Everything else about both cameras are exactly the same.

And $110 is quite alot when it is my own money and not my dads, haha! So yea i chose the D40 but then, i saw some other nice lenses and so i decided why not just buy them as well? So in the end i spend close to $900 for the D40 with bag, tripod, screen protecter, lens protector upgrade to anti shake body and also a Wide Angle Lens and a Macro Lens.

It was worth it if you ask me and after that i felt really contented and so I was sure i did not waste my money. It was also just in time for my trip to Malaysia and that made me even more please with my buy.

That night, i went over to fletcher place for dinner since we didnt go over during christmas so yea, it was just a small get together with his family and the rest of the guys and gals. Left earlier to have a good sleep before the trip the next day.

As i mentioned earlier, I will post an entry of the Weekend getaway to Malaysia in my next post. As of now, i need to sleep. Tmr i have 2 freaking hours of school man! Wad could be worst is they are returning Macroecons results! You know how Lester and Econs are right? Worst then Oil and water that is!

Wish me luck and check back for the malaysia entry tmr!

Below are just a fraction of the pics taken, pardon the skills as i just started.
