Burned a BIG hole in My Pocket

Filed in: Life Log — December 24th, 2008

This is totally out of my calculation. I didn’t expect to spend so much this month! I have almost spent all the cash in my primary bank account!

I had swiped RM9,324.78 out of RM10,000 credit line of my credit card in December 2008! New record!

How did I spend the money?

I went to Kuala Lumpur for the PIKOM PC Fair 2008 (III) and stayed for 7 days. Some money was spent on meals, clothes, and gifts.

I helped my brother bought a netbook, ASUS Eee PC 1000H (~RM1900) at the PC Fair.

And, I bought Canon EOS 450D kits (RM2400, cash) + Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM lens (RM3900, credit card) at Sungei Wang.

honda city 2009

As soon as I back from KL, I signed and confirmed the purchase of the new Honda City 2009, which cost RM89,980. Plus, a special number plate — RM1,000. I decided to pay more on down payment and it is most of the cash in my primary bank account.

I got new camera, new car… what’s now?“Now you have new camera and new car, you should have a new look too!”, my friend suggested to change my hairstyle. I have never changed it since I know how to comb my hair!

This is my new look.

    you got the wrong lens for ur cam, your photos are cropped due to the crop factor of 1.6, when a EF lens is used in a EF-S body, the range is no longer 24mm, instead it will be 38.4mm… its a great lose, image taken at 17mm or 18mm is the best because it has a wider angel, capturing lots of interesting background details/scene

    Liew, it is fine to burn a big hole in your pocket once in a while. For all the hardwork you have done, it is worth it. Keep it up

    Did you pay extra for using the credit card to purchase in the PC fair?

    I plan to buy a new desktop, but got to wait for my year end bonus which will only creditted to my account in January 2009.

    Does the recent economy crisis hit your Adsense earning?

    Some lifestyle modification would be a great start to 2009 too my friend. I’ve been a silent reader of your blog ever since you still were working in an IT company, I don’t recall you ever talking about exercise even in your Life Log…

    So give it a shot. It will do wonders!! Happy New Year!
