Something new for the holiday

June/July 10 semester holiday may be shorter than before but this one is just as unique as any semester holidays before....why? here's the story....

As a Mara students, I was given a laptop allowance to buy a laptop at any time during the study period....my strategy is to buy it as late as possible because if i wait longer, i can get a better specs with cheaper price....and i decided to buy it this holiday....the laptop that i chose is Acer Aspire 5741G....here are the specs

Acer Aspire 5741G

Intel Core i5, 2.4-2.9GHz

NVIDIA GeForce GT 320M, 2747 MB

4GB RAM

500GB HDD

15.6" widescreen HD LED LCD

another facts about this laptop is that it is custom made for the PC fair and it is limited edition....i am so glad that i am able to bought it because the one that i bought is the last unit available in Low Yat.....maybe luck is on my side that day......

my workstation at home.....with my new laptop and printer

besides the laptop, i also bought another gear for my camera....a Canon EFS 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS lens....finally, i managed to get a telephoto lens.....coincidentally, the purchase of that lens also marked one year of my DSLR photography....here's are the gears that i manage to obtain during this first year....

Canon EOS 450D

Canon EFS 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS kit lens

Nissin Di622 speedlite

Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II prime lens

Meiko Battery Grip

Canon EFS 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS lens

a year of DSLR photography

i just realized that all of the item above worth almost about RM5000....photography really isn't a cheap hobby....but it is really worth it for those who love it....

i also have have a great moments at genting highland this holiday with my friends.....this is my first visit to the city of entertainment since 2006 and i can say that this visit is a very memorable one because all of us stay there overnight and have a lot of fun....from bowling, to rock climbing, to guitar hero, to movies, to extreme breakfast, to outdoor theme park, all have been a great....thanks Izwan, Irsyad, Fareez n Isyam.....

thanks guys....

guitar hero time...

another interesting thing that i did during this holiday is that for the first time i play golf at the golf course....it is a very memorable experience for me to play golf for the first time at the golf course, which is at Bukit Indah Golf and Country Club.....what i can say about this experience is that the feel of playing golf at the course is way better than just hitting golf balls at the driving range (eventhough many of my shots at the course sucks)......at the end of the day, i managed t

o finish the game with 143 shots means my score is +72 above par!! but the experience is unforgettable and im looking forward to play again and improve my game.....

my holiday is almost over now because i need to come back to utp early for convofair preparation and Minggu Aluan Siswa....but nevertheless, this holiday has been very exciting and it is something for me to remember....that's all for now....until the next time....salam
