Happy New Year 2009! OK, I know I am late and January 2009 is almost past.

What I did in 2008?

I spent a lot of money in 2008 on:

• Traveled to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah with my friends
• Traveled to Hong Kong, ShenZhen and GuangZhou with my dad and younger brother
• Bought Canon IXUS 860 IS compact camera
• Bought Apple iMac 24″ desktop computer
• Bought Canon 450D and 24-105mm F/4 L IS USM Lens
• Bought a car, the Honda City 2009

Beside spending money, I also lost a lot in my investments (due to the economy crisis). The Net-Asset-Value (NAV) of my mutual funds dropped up to 50%, if not more! The same goes to my stock investments too…

One more bad news. My weight is nearly 90KG now, up from 85KG last year!

Here are the Canon 450D (kits) and Canon 24-105mm F/4 L IS USM lens that cost me an arm, more than RM6400.

How much?

he Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM Lens is, more expensive than the camera kit itself, RM3900.

The lens is still considered cheap because the retail price is around RM4500! I got it for RM3900 because it is the “kit lens” of Canon 5D kit. The shop sells Canon 5D and the lens separately…

Free gift?

There is NO free gift. No cheapskate tripod. No memory card. No cleaning kit. No card reader. You get what you pay for, that’s all.

Where did I buy them?

Tarita or Boeing Photo, both in Sungai Wang Plaza, Kuala Lumpur. I got the 450D kit at Tarita but the lens at Boeing Photo (because Tarita sold the last lens at the last minute…).
