I spoilted my PC yesterday! I can’t stand for the pc alwayas auto shut down due to overheat. I decided to take out the fan for cleaning. So..I might accidentally spoilt the display card or motherboard (Sorry I do not know what happen to the PC). It just could not start after I install all back to it’s place. Monitor has no display and CPU seems like no running. Only CPU lighting is on, fans is working but monitor no display, keyboard no lighting.

Hmm…Maybe is my spirit looking for this to happen so that I have reason to upgrade the CPU? :p

But…how to upgrade? What spec to search for? Could I use back those dvd write, hard disk, monitor and others? I do not have much budget to do the upgrading, could it be done under US$500?

My new colleague is very busy to pack stock again. She is not only have to pack stock but also in charge of stock take and all kind of stock activities. I wonder why she does not request a barcode scanner from boss, I am sure her workload would decrease with help of barcode system. There are many individual stocks coming in and out every day. It takes time to record all the transaction manually. She should request boss for easier handle system rather than manually record.

There are so much fun in Facebook, which I do not know. My sister told me she is planting, saving money to buy stuff for her lovely pet! hmm..I have no idea what kind of game she is playing at all! I only know Facebook is very popular nowadays. I thought it is a good bridge to find old friends, coleague or anyone you know. besides that, I only played some Q test send by a friend only. I have never try other games. Well, if I am so free, I think I would try other games as well. Too bad, I always feel time is not enough!

I always wish to bring my children going out to have fun. However, I am having problem to find suitable place for them to run and play. I wish I could find some nice website which offering wide range of children friendly place as the search engine website provides information for rv parks. RV lover are very lucky because they could easily find rv camping, campground and more from those website. When could I found good search engines as them do?

Yes. Just got it from my friend this Sunday. He bought for me and negotiate the price with the seller. ALthought the seller does not want to give further discount but he gave me an UV filter with free. Well, not sure it is worth or not, but better than nothing lah.

I have no time to play this toy yet because of my sick baby. haii…Gotto arrange a day out to snap photos after Kiki is recover from fever.

I have not join any gay vacations before. I believe that those would be a great vacation too. Just that different person needs different type of vacations. People who have family might love to have a family vacation so that they have a nice moment with family member. Previously I prefer to go vacation with friends, then was with boy friend and now prefer to go vacation with family. The joy of vacation is so much different with different person. haha

Read few reviews about the Sigma 18-200mm OS lens. Well, seem like not a good lens to invest. Some of the photos looks quite blur, especially the corner of photo.  hmm.. but different website provide different reviews. One says it a good buy lens but one says it is not worth to spend for it. Headache! I am worry I will regret after buy it.

Anyway, I already confirmed my friend to grab that lens. I think he already paid it. *sign* never mind, lets get the lens and test it first. Nothing I can do now.

I requested my friend to negotiate with the lens seller just now. I hope he could help me to request for a cheaper price. Well, I am ok with the price he offers actually. However, I think nobody does not like to save money, right? I of course want to save as much as possible lah.

If I could save another $50 or $100, then would be great to pay for the weight loss pill, so that I could one of the slim model in the photos also.

Below are the Pros and Cons I found at dpreview for the Sigma 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 DC OS HSM. What do you think about the lens? If your budget just right to pay for this but not Nikkor 18-200mm F3.5-5.4 VR?

Conclusion – Pros

* Huge 11x focal length range, ideal general purpose and travel lens
* Relatively low chromatic aberration
* Low distortion (for a superzoom)
* Reasonably effective optical stabilization system, 2.5 – 3 stops benefit

Conclusion – Cons

* Very inconsistent sharpness through the zoom range – extremely soft at 80mm
* Soft corners at all focal lengths
* Occasionally indecisive autofocus
* Slightly less resistant to flare than its more recent competitors

I keep asking myself what is the purpose to buy the travel lens. I already have an 18-135mm lens, which could consider a good lens also. I did bring the lens to travel and it did serve me very good. Well, I think I need a zoom lens which able to zoom far than 135mm. Although I am not sure what is the different of 135mm with 200mm, but I just so tempt to get the lens and try it on.

If I am buy the secondhand lens, I think I am going to search for travel deals very soon. Because I could not wait to bring that, lens and capture all my travel memory down. haha
