I have requested my friend, who stay in China to help me buy the Nikon Nikkor 50mm F1.8 lens in Hong Kong. I asked her to checked the price for me few months ago, it was selling at HKD780 (equal to $320). It is consider cheap if compare to local price. The price I got online locally is about $395.00. Although I am not sure how much is the current price now. But I think it should not expensive than what I get here.

The reason why I didn’ t buy in my Japan trip was it even more expensive than I buy in local. If no mistake, it was selling at $700++ in Japan.

After read and go through so many articles and information about the DSLR camera. I finally decided to get the Nikon D80 DSLR Camera. I hope I do not make a wrong decision, because this camera would be the most expensive in between the 4 cameras I listed down.

I am not sure could I master the camera or not, but I will try hard to learn it and remember as much as possible. I was thinking to buy the camera last weekend but I didn’t because I am have another plan now and wish it would going smooth later. Anyway, now is time to check the lenses. I want to see what kind of lens is good performance and cost lesser. Hope I can get more information and reviews soon.

• Canon 50mm F1.8
• Tamron 18-200mm
• Nikkor 18-200mm VR
• Nikkor 50mm F1.8
• Nikkor 18-55VR

Avbie are the lens i am interested. after read reviews online. I finally know i am need a potrait lens and a zoom lens. I need the 50mm F1.8 which have bigger Aperture to capture my children potrait and another zoom lens for travel use. I do not want to carry so many len when i am travel, therefore the 18-200mm might be a good choice for me.

The50mm F1.8 lense should not be a problem because the price selling in Malaysia is quite check, Nikkor and canon also sell below $380.00. Now i am headache about which zoom lens to buy. Those lense looks very expensive. Just 1 already cost above $1500.00.

When talk about DSLR lens I am stil very confusing about the image stabilizer. Some people saying that it is very important to capture zoom photo and some peoples saying that the stabiliser seem like no use at all. I do not know how now as the price for both lens are quite big different. I really do not know how to select one that is good. Anyway, I have make a date with friend who has a photography life I want to test all the lens he have and I hope I could find the information I needed as soon as possible.

Why our country has not much online store? I am tried to search for more information about luggage these few days but almost 99% results I received is located at oversea. Local website are hardly find in the search result. I am not sure it is because those website have bad search engine result or because really no online store in Malaysia is selling online. *sign*

I think I am better spend more money using the Citibank Credit Card, because I do not think they going to refund me the excess payment anymore. It is already 1 week plus after the day they called me and inform me have to investigate the extra payment come from. And I hear nothing from them since then, I am getting feed up to contact bank or all kind of customer services again. Never mind, I have to think positively now. At least I do not need to worry about the payment to credit card for this few months as I already pay all in advance.

I’m still thinking of what to buy for my best friend’s open house. We are very good friend since primary school, more than 20 years old friendship. I can’t simply pick something useless or meaningless as her open house gift, this is her first dream house some more. Therefore, I decide to buy her something useful, which she need for her home and use it, everyday. Someone suggest me the Amana Refrigerators, I think this should be a good idea. Everyone needs a refrigerator at home. The only problem will be the price, I wish to buy her a big refrigerator, but the price will be a bit expensive if only pay by me. I’m thinking to ask others friends if they want to share too. I hope they will.

I saw a Piaget exceptional pieces - Emperador “double secret” watch at Watchluxus. It impressed me deeply, what a luxury watch is it. I wonder how much it cost. This unique piece has 1,211 diamonds weighing a total 97 carats! I know I will never have change to buy it. Where to find so much money?

Anyway, there are some people who willing to spend money on the things they like. To be a smart buyer, I advice them to check all the watches information before buy it. You can visit to Watchluxus if you interesting to know more about watch. The website even has a watch glossary to let you understand more. There are many luxury watches with different brand for you to shop too. Check out the website today.

I just back from shopping center. I have no go out for shopping since last two month, today I finally found a chance to shop without bring along SQ & Kiki. I have to shop for clothing today, so I can’t bring them together, else I will have no chance to test those clothing. Today shopping result was not bad, I bought myself few dress, I almost forgot to buy mens underwear for my husband because of too excited to shop for myself.

Lucky I remembered it before I leave the shopping center. I turn back to the man department store and search for the men’s underwear, too bad I cannot found the briefs and boxers that my husband wants. My husband is very picky on selecting underwear, because he only wants the real comfortable innerwear. I think I better order online for the brand and model underwear that my husband use to wear, he always insist to wear something that he is similar with and refuse to try the new style. Stubborn husband I have.

I love to buy baby clothing from online baby store. One of the reasons is because all the baby clothing are having standard size, unlike adult dress. I can easily buy the right size for children according to their ages. Then, there are so many beautiful clothing are selling online, I can easily compare the price and also the designs. This is the best and I like the most for online shopping. Just sit in front of the computer, search on the website, read the detail, then click to buy! That is it. I do not need to queue for payment, do not need to stuck in the traffic jam. Nevertheless, I get what I want.
