SCREWED SCREWED SCREWED
ok from last week, things already got bad... to begin with
my desktop was down since last term, but din repair
my iPod is screwed, dunno why keep hanging itself and my com
then come home, my wireless router screwed up also
then i realized i lost my camera cloth which cost bout 10 bucks
i was damn pissed... but nvm kept my cool. Gonna call up Dell to repair my desktop, prob 1 solved. Sent my iPod for servicing at Apple Center, and holy shit i sent it on the LAST day of it's warrantied life. My wireless router kinda repaired a bit by tweaking the firmware, but somehow likes to disconnect itself. Alright. I found my camera cloth in the camera bag. Cool.
And I thought all was over.
Last night, i DROPPED my camera on the floor... my poor 20D. was SO loud can feel the impact as it smashed on the floor... no visible damage, except for a few white specks on one of the corner... but somehow my pictures all taken in shutter and aperture priority mode... no idea why
WTH is happening man... bad things just keep flowing in.... omg i better go temple

I think hor, after going through uni first year, i begin to develop a more analytical mind... i think deeper, and yet wider.... yeah that's good yeah. One of the great tots i have is :
I looked up at the sky... and wah lan eh bloody hot sia. Then i thought about global warming, what's the true reason for global warming? CO2 CO SO2 causing global warming... maybe true, but i think it's more like a plot by the US to jerk up oil prices. There MUST be another reason...
then i looked at the street, then i saw this hot girl... wah damn hot lar, make me feel hot also...
THAT'S IT!
HOT GIRLS are the problem... they go out onto the streets scantily clad, guys see already, heart pumping, adrenalin running, brain juice overflowing with "what-if"s, and so body temperature rise... and to lust is man, so every man's temperature rise... and women see already also jealous, rise also.... global warming!
and the story doesn't end here... can you see it's a viscous cycle? hot girls are the one causing the global warming... temperatures rise, and this gives them more reason to wear less... you see that? haiz... so i appeal to all hot girls, think bout the penguins at the North pole...
uni education does work

ok lar came back already, but hehe till now then blog... ok lar just to update abit
down with flu and sorethroat the moment i came back wth... damn screwed lar, but alright lar now better already
no time to go KL yet, but will go soon after i come back from singapore *yay* really want to go down lor all my friends there... and take a look around KL since i really never been there properly before. Singapore traveled almost whole country b4 already so sian... yeah so looking forward to KL!
anyways down to the main thing hanging in my mind... i REALLY want to change to a digital SLR, in layman terms, those big, geekish camera you see the pros use. After this two trips right, i really find myself limited by my olympus C770... Image quality is one thing, my camera is terrible in focusing, startup time is heavenly, lots of things lar... but what you expect from a consumer camera? so yeah... really wanna change to a digital SLR. The main camera i have in mind is Canon EOS 20D http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/canon/eos_20d-review/
ok here's the thing... this is bloody expensive, a hefty 2500S$ or bout 6000 RM. There is a budget version of this, the very popular Canon EOS 350D Digital Rebel XT
http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/canon/digital_rebel_xt-review/
which costs only 1800S$ or 3000+RM
the difference? 20D is bigger and heavier, but that's a good thing... since my hand so bloody big, bigger cam will give better grip, and more mass will increase stability. I hate using light cameras, especially when i use those point shooters (iXus, Dimage XT etc). And also 20D is metal, offering a better construction and thus to many, it 'feels' better than the cheap plastic of the 350D. Ok can't blame me, but i do have big concerns about construction on things i buy, my laptop my speakers my mp3 player, all i got consider construction b4 buying one... i think it's important lar body yeah
Image quality and camera performance wise it's roughly the same, in fact almost the same, with the 20D offering SLIGHTLY better performance in terms of focusing as some forum people argued, then 20D can take at 5fps 350D at 3fps, but i only amateur don't really matter to me hehehe so yeah in this aspect, doesn't really matter lar
so for a 1000 bucks more, do i want the 20D over the 350D? YES. I want a camera to last me longer lar, 350D i believe, one day i'll outgrow it, and want a better one, and 20D i believe will go a long way... i quite sure i'll regret one day if i just get the 350D now, so yeah will try out for the 20D!! been thinking of ways to tell my papa hehehe.... but i told him already lar, he said alright *cheers* he likes cameras also, he himself has a film SLR, which he bot 10 years ago and i believe it's bloody expensive one... but u see, a good camera can really last long long time... so it's a good investment! he knows the prices roughly also, and he said if i like it, and all the prices are like that, no choice one hehehehe... so yeah gotta do some research and tell him which one i want and hopefully, will go down to KL and get ^__^
long post huh.... ok maybe you thinking i'm a spoilt kid, but ehhhhh..... i don't spend much one okay, i only spend on gadgets, dun buy branded clothes, dun go club, dun do much.... so ALRIGHT lar to spend on a hobby i like, and somemore i so guai, studied SO HARD (yeah of coz i did) for exams, some reward myself a bit can? and one year buy one expensive thing, alright lar... last year was laptop, year before saxophone, this year camera, got a feeling next year car... just crossing fingers *prays* but dun think so lar that is called fat hope. so yeah... back to camera research ;)
