Some updates

Hey guys!


So recently it has been quiet as I haven't got much things going on. Anyway! Recently some stuff came as well as yesterday. So it'll be a short entry with just some updates on what I got


My stuff from USA a few weeks back



My Under Armour Heatgear socks! Those who are thinking of buying this to wear with combat boots, please don't, it is comfortable and thick, but its extremely long for XL, its like soccer socks,so do think twice! I'd probably buy other socks that are shorter



My pens and belt, still in their packaging


The belt is 54" and its kinda long even for me, so I'd probably get a 50" next time. The pens are great despite being ballpoint!



Canon Platinum Pro a3+ photo paper. Big and heavy, can't print without my trimmer, will print when I have a good picture




My package from Hong Kong which took 3 weeeks! Nuts!



The cheap 3rd party Nikon strap, it feels good except where the webbing is. Its thin, and hard to tie it, I'll never buy 3rd party straps again, I'll just pay more for the original (I don't use the ones given in the box because it has the name of the camera)



Magic Milk straws from Vat19! Splitting them with my sister's friend! So excited to try it!




Stickr Frames, really interesting and cool especially when opened



I didn't expect it to be like a book with the stickers on the page, I thought it'll be like, hanging inside or something.



That's pretty much for my stuff. I just got a letter from MOE that I'm eligible to apply for bursary! Weird thing is, its been almost a year since I graduated and they've only sent me now. But whatever, its good cause of the congratulatory "cert" inside, saying that I'm in the top 25% of my course/stream, I showed good academic performance and conduct. I'm really proud of this cause I felt I earned it!

Nikon D800 is out and I guess after deliberating and talking with an old friend of mine who studied business, I'm getting the D800. Despite the huge file size and the need for more hard disks. The video may be needed in the future. I guess I'll shoot less spams and more quality images with it then. Besides, hard drives are now at 3TB, won't be soon before long that they have even bigger ones! I shall post my thoughts on the D800 this weekend after I look around at the specs, sample images and watch the videos. D800 for studio and landscape (whatever landscape I do, when I go overseas especially) and D3 for events, weddings and others. Both can do good in low light, but D3 for the smaller size unless I absolutely need the resolution.

That's all for now! I can't wait to get my Nikkor 70-200mm f2.8 VRII! Its coming next month! Will do my own update when I get it!
