I will be the pattern of all patience; I will say nothing.

And I managed to get a few shots before it went dark. I am uploading the test shots as I type this. It’s taking longer than usual, but then again, these are large images.

So the new toy is my Canon 400D, coupled with a nice 100mm/f2.8 macro lens.

I love it. I also love the new lens.

L-O-V-E.

I love the bokeh. Love the couple. Love the feel. Love so much that I can’t bear to bring it with me to work until the camera bag arrives. Unfortunately the bag was shipped from a different merchant on Amazon, so I couldn’t get it in the same order.

Many thanks to – my engineer friends
Jeffrey – for finally tipping me over the edge with the whole “sensor size” tutorial
Eh Don, Ah Leongsan, Jetski (who’s almost an engineer) – for putting me on the edge
Eeevahn – for his perpetual enthusiasm, especially when it involves getting someone else to spend a lot of money

Always said that engineers (the software kind) are my favourite people in the WWW. This is why.

My new Gaiman books arrived too.

Qoo is happy again.

:D:D

YAY!!!!!!!!!

More pics later! Flickr superstardom, here I come!!

I guess it’s a bit much if I post 15 minute updates. But then again. It’s my new toy we’re talking about!

Might Mouse is an hour late.

The build-up is killing me!

I look up at every truck that passes, my ears prick with every trolley I hear coming down the lane. I stand up, craning my neck to see if my new toy is here when I see stacked boxes moving in my direction.

I guess at the very worst, Mighty Mouse will deliver it when he comes over to pick up the deliveries at 4pm.

I love receiving packages. Today I’m waiting for possibly my most expensive to date, by the window, with a cup of tea.

I call the UPS guy “Mighty Mouse” because he looks like a mouse, but not quite Mickey. AL says Mighty Mouse makes deliveries between 10.30am and 11am, and according to the UPS tracking code, the shipment is out and about, waiting to jump into my hands.

So here I am, waiting for Mighty Mouse to show up in 20 minutes to deliver my newest toy.

Excited!
