Super hectic day

My phone couldn't receive messages the other day. Guess what.




It took my phone dunno how long to delete all these messages. =x

On a side note, I'm super happy cuz I bought a dress from Victoria's Secrets for my sis's wedding!

This dress can be worn in 7 ways. I chose the black colour. Usual price US$109 now selling for US$95 approx S$132. I'm super happy cuz my $75 discount code worked so shipping cost is virtually free! Looking forward to receiving it next week! =D

So tired. Gonna sleep soon! Another long day tomorrow.

Loving my new camera!

One of the best ways to test a camera is, of course, at night. Here I have taken 3 pictures of my mum's orchids. 1st with my 2 megapix handphone camera, 2nd with my 5.1 megapix digital camera, and lastly with my 12.2 megapix Canon 450D. To make a fair comparison, I used auto-focus for all. Absolutely no manual adjustments. Take a look at the difference.


Look how the flower at the back smoothly fades into the background, and how prominent are the flaws on the flower.


Kh says,"Of course la, your camera 12.2megapix leh." I say it's not the megapix. It's the quality of the lens. And I will prove it. Here is a picture taken with my Canon 450D at its lowest quality- 3.4megapix with some roughness.


Still better than my 5.1megapix digital camera at its best eh?

Woot! My New Canon 450D!

After much research, I finally bought my new Canon 450D from MSColor at AMK central. This is probably one of the best deals you can get already. $1,330 cash price (inclusive of gst) instead of the $1,499 as quoted by Canon. Comes with free 4GB memory card, photography guide book and LCD protector. The boss, Florence, also gave me discount for the camera bag. $25 instead of the usual $35. Not bad eh. Thank goodness I brought Kh along. He's so good at bargaining. I treated him to dinner after that! =D





Was quite glad that I managed to buy this camera today as it is out of stock in many places now. Couldn't wait for the PC fair either. Jack said they won't lower the price, only give me more useless freebies.




Shall start experimenting with it! =D


Yay another strike off my wishlist!

Busy Day

Today I planned to have a nice swim, relax, watch a movie and all. End up Kh and I received one call after another to go to town for job interviews. Had 4 interviews today. Hopefully we'll get something good out of it.

Kh: Dunno what I'm thinking. I wrote "22" under "Race".
Me: Haha.
Kh: Actually I should write "Race: Superior".
Me: You want this job or not?
Kh: It's funny what. Thought I'd write something different. This is called marketing yourself you know? Later they find it funny they hire me leh.

For the record, he DID NOT write that. He's extremely pleased with his idea/joke though. He thinks it's so original. =.="


Went to watch Chocolate after that. Cuz that was the only movie available that we haven't watched (except for Speed Racer which I'm never going to watch thanks to Rain.). A Thai movie inspired by Ong Bak. After all those stunts they did, you'd think they have the common sense to use mattresses and cushion shoes and all. But no. At the end of the movie, they will show you all the injuries their stuntmen got from the show. Splitting skull, deep cuts, broken neck... I thought nowadays there's this thing called TECHNOLOGY? Goodness knows how many peeps they sacrificed to film this movie. No wonder it took them 4 years to finish filming. And after all that, the stunts weren't that great, the movie itself wasn't that nice either. Very sad case.

Reached home at 10.40pm to see my mailbox totally flooded with emails. I opened an Aeropostale spree just yesterday night cuz Kh wanted some tshirts from there. Didn't actually expect the demand to be so great as I just closed 2 batches last saturday. Everytime I finished screening through a few orders, there will be a few more new orders coming in. These people are so totally ignoring my order cap!

To add to the stress, I have to attend to anonymous msn and friendster friend requests from people who got my email from the sprees I conduct. Very very scared of these people now (guys actually). I usually reject anonymous requests, but the other day, I kept getting repeated requests from the same guy, so I decided to just let him into my msn list to see what it's all about. Turned out that he's just another one of 'those guys', if ya know what I mean. There's only 1 thing they are interested in. Hmph! I'm never ever letting anonymous ppl into my msn list again. What is wrong with them huh?

Gotta shower now! TD with pris and kayheng later. Hah.
