My pressie

One day DD T said "think I should get u a pro camera"....

Since it has been 6 mths plus and I can't decide on what I what for the pressie... Watch: will be another one to my collection, Bag: another one to the stash... Diamonds: ermm not a fan of jewellery... Holidays: yeah dont mind, but that's a need not a want... Cash: not a fan of monies; yes I'm weird but I'm really not that type of person who sees money like how some ppl are...

So u see I got nothing that I really want or need... So DD T decided to get me a pro SLR; he says I have a wee bit of talent in taking pictures so he doesn't mind paying to see me enjoy myself...

I get to choose cause he has absolutely no idea, actually nor me... so 2 clueless cock went to Funan one fine sunday... not Simlim cause DD T is not a fan... Were recommended to go to John 3:16 but hor sunday close.. damn shits... didn't occur to us that a so christian namey shop will be close on sunday lor.. damn dumb

So went Challenger, DD T's most favourite shop to walk walk..... ask stupid questions about the SLR.. remember I told u I'm green... the boy there recommended NIKON 5000 @ $1299 as its a good entry level camera... play play a bit touch touch the 2 brands a bit, ask him why? He say NIKON has a better body compared to CANON...

Like not very convinced I went to another shop... promos for SLRs, but damn irritating no camera to touch manz, sales guy just explain verbally about the goody bag... funny attitude... I mean you sell camera but no camera to play?????? WTF... but still I ask more stupid questions, this shop says buy CANON 500D @$1399 coz got plenty of goodies and its at its best at this price... CANON has cheaper 50MM lens (its a portrait lens, make ur photos chio type.. blur blur background one) then if I get NIKON 5000 there is no 50MM that can fit except some particular one that only can fit this model... cheem, by this type I blur... BB [V] was cranky too and wanted me to carry her... so at this point I had information overload and I can't think smart with a bb crying... I walked out on the pretext that my bb needs her sleep... hows easy is that...easy peasy lemon squeezy

Totally drained out, I wanted to leave Funan manz... but DD T says better get all my info and if I didn't get it by today its fine as I can wait till some IT show that is coming up... trues, coz IT show is no questions no touch type... So I stepped into another shop, got him to explain more about the 50 mm lens that can't fit the NIKON 5000, this time round I touched Canon 500D, Nikon 5000 and Nikon D90.... the minute I touched the D90, I knew this was it keke... but like $1899 and I'm an amateur... there wasn't a need to buy something so high tech... but does it really matter??? no lor... as usual expensive taste..

Then the idiot sales guy told me no stock in store, must take from main store blah blah blah.. crappy sales tactics... ask me to consider the NIKON 5000 or Canon 500D since I'm a newbie... like WTF lor.. I newbie must buy newbie things? so I left... damn no mood.. coz I WANTED the camera now since I have set my mind on it.. NOW means NOW, no waiting till IT show... but damn drained, tired... I need to latch BB [V] ... so off to the car

So as we were walking to the carpark, then there was a Challenger Fair at the atrium... Saw a banner selling the NIKON D90 @$1899.. ready stock OMG!!! so after some bantering with the oh so friendly sales guys, we settle at $1799 without the "orbit" bag n tripod... sweets!! Of course I bought the 50mm @$229 (think overpriced, but at this point I didn't care and didn't want to come back to get the oh so important lens to make my photos chio, blur backround type)

My D90 kit that comes with 18-105 mm lens .. this lens cannot be purchased off the rack

My new toy

The 50mm F1.8 lens... then the next day I asked around and realised that there is a better lens F1.4... so I wanted to change it, called Challenger and it costs $999.. then I think forget it... I wil just play with this lens 1st...

We came back home and I had to charge the battery for 8 hours.. so boring.... then on monday, I started fooling around with it... so here's my 1st try... taken with my 50mm lens
