My Expensive Hobby a.k.a Interest....

Ok... I realized that I have very expensive interest...
I like design, but of course I didn't finish my course so end up doing something which not creative at all....
I like drawings too but of course I only can draw Egg Eyes...

This is the trademark of mine (surprisingly my ex-schoolmates remember me due to my drawings!)

How can drawing can be expensive?
I obsess with stationary!
Just a walk into the bookshop, I can end up purchase RM30+ pens....
Just inked-black-pens....
And sketch books.... you know how much 1 book now?
I settled with just A4 papers!

I lurve photography a lot...
But I can't afford to get a DSLR (I can settle for a digital compact camera, donation anyone?)
Weird thing is, I don't really take HUMAN pictures except candid as it looks more real....
I prefer to take animals (such as dogs....), buildings, landscape... skies..... nature!
My dear did bought me a digital camera few years back...
But, it's not good enought especially comes to food snapping and movement. (Sorry~)

Once, Bunny asked me to hunt for a camera for her friend's birthday...
As a good sis, I found one for her....
I didn't look further about the usage of the camera as it's those old type.

Till few months back...
I was into Lomography (yeap, is that OLD TYPE camera to snap it...)
(I didn't realized it was the camera that my sis asked me to find)
So I hunt in around... and got one for myself...

 My new companion One3Fi5e...

It uses film (yes, those negative that needs to be developed to see the outcome that kind of oldy...)
However, I got to know that the film doesn't need to be printed out, it can be save into CD straightaway after it develop...
But, it's costly.
For now, the cheapest film I could find now is RM12 (I can get cheaper if I purchase more....)
To save in CD, is extra RM10 or more....
If the film is for 36pcs, the outcome after snap, might just be 20pcs or less...
The others..... burn~
It's pretty excited to see the outcome though, the effects... pretty nice!

Taken at my home in PG...


Taken in Kek Lok Si Temple

Pretty old mood ya?
It's quite tricky to play on toy camera (that's what they called for Lomo cameras...)
Want a great shot, better do it under bright sunlight...
As said... it's 50-50 chances for getting nice shots!

Till then, I shall settle by using my Samsung's phone camera for my food snapping...
I can't risk using Holga, don't I?

*wishing to have a digital camera soon : ) *

I am into cycling...
I got a bike when I was kid (then it was left to rot outside the house despite I did cycled a lot with it)
Then I left my hometown ....
My bike was dying... I thought I could change the tires or something... nahh.....
My dad was mumbling, grumbling, nagging due to all the bikes got rotten (included my siblings...)

In KL, I do wanted to have a bike...
But it's quite dangerous to cycle around....
And I got no place to put, and hard to bring it around as I live in apartment....
So I thought, just leave it.

It was about 5-6 years since I cycled...
I think I started to cycle back was 2-3 years ago?
Maybe once in a year.... (if I have a bike)

I SO WANNA OWE A BIKE.

So, the itch was in me recently...
And I went and have a look on bikes....
Pretty weird...
When you drive a Kancil to BMW showroom...
The sales person might give you one KIND of look...
But you driving a car to a bicycle shop...
The sales person can look at you one of a KIND as well.

I went about 3 shops just now....
Gawd...
I see the price of the bikes of the first shop...
I can get a motorcycle or least deposit for a new car (Saga/Myvi....)
Cheapest... RM1600 there's non lower then RM1k...

I head over to Uptown...
The cheapest there is RM450 and is LERUN!
When I was a kid, LERUN and RALEIGH was the "BRANDED" bikes...
And now... ciplak?
Ok, maybe they are still expensive but I think they being covered by other brands?


Is pretty expensive to own a bicycle nowadays isn't it?

Of course, if you are traveling with your bike..
You need a place to hang your bike right?
Here comes Bike Carrier....

When I was checking for the RM450 bike...
I asked that sales person... do they sell the carrier...
The price?
RM 550....
MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE BIKE!


I think I shall just find other interest instead for now....
Not like I'm rich?

Watch TV and be couch potato...
Right, phat arse... I'm coming!
