And lastly, a funny dustbin caught my eyes.

This word is usually found on rice containers.

Fruitful day...

Weather:

Meet up with Lili at Sim Lim Square today. I'm going to get myself a zoom lens, a tripod and a camera bag since we planned to go jurong bird park on the 17th. After testing the macro lens at Alan Photo, I realise I didn't bring my wallet and I only have $200 cash in my bag. AH!~ I have to borrow money from Lili first (not good news cause I can't buy the rest of the stuffs). Thereafter, we went to the car to check if I left it there. It wasn't there. So I have to drive back to dearest home to get my wallet. Though troublesome to travel back, but it was a great time driving and chatting with Lili on our way back.

Sigma Telephoto Lens

70-300mm F4-5.6 APO DG Macro

Price: S$335

*Blurry blur blur me* I have to blame california fitness for my blur-ness cause in order to attend their one hour session with the trainer, me and dearest have to wake up at 645am. They have been bugging me to attend the session for weeks. So mafan. (Oops! I digress) Anyway, we went back to Alan Photo again to get my filters and tripod. Initially, I wanted to get manfrotto's tripod but then it's going to cost me a bomb. So I set my sight on a Slik tripod. I didn't get camera bag at Sim Lim as I want to have a look at Crumpler's camera bag first before I make any decision.

Slik U8000 tripod

Price: S$60

After getting the tripod and the lens, we met Pris up at orchard for lunch. Decide to treat Pris as a celebration for her graduation on her degree program. Yay! We decide to eat at Pasta Cafe in Takashimaya. I ate at this cafe once but since they never try it before, we shall give it a go.

*photos taken my lili with my 450D (credits to lili for taking such nice pictures)

We had mushroom soup, breadcrumb mussels, hawaiian pizza, grilled salmon, slipper lobster and beef & mushroom lagsane (from left to right). I like the slipper lobster pasta as it doesn't taste that creamy or too tomato-ish. The breadcrumb mussels is quite nice too. Well, as for the pizza, there is this funny taste in the tomato paste. I'm sure I am not alone feeling the weird with the paste.

After all the makan and gossiping, we went shopping at taka. Lili needs to get herself a dress for her photoshoot on monday. I was quite embrassed today. Whenever I go in and out of shops with tag scanner, the alarm will go off. Argh~ Really very "malu". I don't know why the alarm will go off. I only bring my camera bag with me and in it are my camera stuffs, wallet and mobile phone.

Last but not least, I went back to dearest place to have dinner. Just finish dinner, we are loyang temple to pray. Lili and hx didn't go with us. But I was kind of surprise that yaosheng agree to go with us. I didn't know he pray at chinese temple. I thought he was a free thinker or something. Haha. But I am glad he and kelvin coming along. At least get to meet them for a short while also not bad.

Got to go~

Steamboat with DTs

Weather:

Had dinner today with DTs from my batch. We have 11 people attending this mini steamboat session. A few of them catch make it. I wish they could so we have a bigger group and have more fun. We went to this steamboat at thomson cause it's convenient for everyone to go home. Too bad we didn't plan any after program. Sigh. We should have another pubbing session or ktv session someday before we all leave this current job to pursuit our future.

That's shuting enjoying her food. *Peace*

Jasmine is enjoying her 麻辣 steamboat.

She is one person who can really eat spicy stuffs.

Yeah! The 馒头 is good.

Jasmine, sherry and shuting is no longer working at NYP le.

How are the pictures? lol. Feel free to give me some comments. I think today is my second time on trying on my dslr and my shooting my first event. Hee~

My first DSLR has arrived...

Weather:

My first DSLR that I've been waiting for has arrived yesterday. I'm oh so excited that I can't wait to get my hands on the camera but I still can't use it yet. As you know, new electronic gadgets always need a full 8 hours initial charge before using. Heh.

Anyway, I want to comment on bargaincity's excellent service. Yesterday, I found out that my camera's viewfinder have a black spot and the slot of the SD card is a little weird. I tried cleaning it but the spot doesn't come off so I believe it's not dust. Then I decided to give bargaincity a call about the camera.

It didn't take long for them to answer the phone (ain't like some take thousand years to answer). When they answer the phone, their voice sound very helpful and pleasant. When I told them about my problem with the camera, they are willing to come directly to my house to change me a new body. After all the troublesome thing, he told me that if I still have any problem within two weeks, they can still change a new set for me at no extra charges.

Great Dinner...

Weather:

Meet the girls and hx for dinner at Bugis's ministry of food. No pictures of the food was taken this time but the food was quite delicious. After dinner, we went to sim lim to have a look at some zoom lenses. Before we get to sim lim, hx stopped at OG as he wants to get himself another rubix's cube. So he went to OG with Lili, while me and pris was at guardian buying some strepsils. Guess what? Lili came out of OG with three plastic bags. And two of those bags were for pris and me. In it was this cute little eeyore (from winnie the pooh) as shown in the pictures below. Heh.

So small and cute~

Look into my cute little eyes~ I'm cute right?

I will definitely bring this little eeyore around and to work. Hee! Thankiew lili for this cute little gift. Muacks!
