Pad

Thanks to some *peer pressure* at work :P, I finally signed up a pbase account and started a photo a day (well, I'll try for a photo a week at least) project as well. My galleries can be viewed at http://www.pbase.com/wantunn

In a badddddd place

Today we dropped by funan during luch as a collegue had to get some inkjet paper. Let me tell you that is a baadddd baadddd place.. almost as bad as Sim Lim Square... even worse when you consider that it's next to peninsula plaza with cathay photo, eastgear etc. Anyway, a short short walk through some of the shops have left me with a craving (not necessarily a need though) for the following: 1. Graphics tablet. The one I'd been eyeing (Wacom graphire 3) seems to have dropped about $40 to just over a hundred bucks now. 2. Canon's new pixma printers. As the ad says, pro features at low prices. I'll probably get this when the ink in my current bubblejet printer (also a canon) runs out. The ipx3000/4000 looks tempting. 3. Creative Soundblaster Live USB. No idea why this is tempting me.. maybe because it's fairly cheap.. about $89 I think. 4. USB Bluetooth thingy.. so that I can surf the web using my ipaq via bluetooth .. no idea why anyone would want to do such a thing though. 5. A Chai Latte... cos as my collegue said.. "if you gotta buy something, buy me a chai latte" :P Good thing we didn't go to cp.

Lense situation rectified

After much thought and helpful(?) advice from collegues, I finally decided against getting the new 17-85 IS EFS lens from canon. Couldn't justify spending >$1k for a lens thats not pro-grade glass and only works on 2 canon bodies at the moment. Therefore I picked up one of the (many) 2nd hand 28-135 IS lenses instead for about half of what I would have had to pay for the other lens. Condition was great and now I just have to get a wide angle to cover all focal lengths. On a seperate note.. got a craving for luncheon meat these few days... l.u.n.c.h.e.o.n. m.e.a.t.......
