My assets, my Canon 450D

I got my first DSLR yest. At a total cost of S$1898.

Many were shocked with my decision to purchase such a big expansive camera as nowadays anyone can easily get a good digi camera at one third the price. Some thought that i'm rich. Some felt that the passion wont last long. Some dont even know wats a DSLR.

So to clarified things up,

I'd always wanted a DSLR since 2 yrs ago.

I rather spend my money on my canon 450D instead of a LV/Gucci bag unlike most ladies. I just have a different set of priorities.

I'm not rich. I'm going to be having all lunches at foodcourt for the next 2 months if my colleagues permit. And yes, i'm worrying about money already. I cant wait for my first c.c bill to arrive. The $10 i spend on 4D today, has become a sunk cost. (Its my dad fault. hahaha. for being so supportive)

I've not regreted buying this nor my airticks to Perth. And i cant wait for my trip to Perth not for the things i wld be doing but for the picts i will be taking.

At the same time, i wld like to express my gratitudes to my

Purchasing Office - for obtaning all the extra freebies and cheaper cost as well as doing all the adminstrative and PR work while i was on the phone.

ku li - for carrying the heavy freebies without complains and bringing us to the nice quiet little eatery.

Commander in charge - for advising which model to get and what freebies to ask for as well as the conversation with the promoter over telecommunication.

Well, all i wld say, its a big purchase. My biggest purchase to date. Followed by my piano more than 10 yrs ago.

I'd decided to skip the psp/mp4/itouch/watever for the time being. Simply because, 'qian qian qian bu gou yong.' I'll just bring some books onboard to accompany me during the total 10hrs ride.
