Aging...

Apart from the fact that this school year's flown by, my age count too is adding up rather quickly. I just can't bear the thought of having the work, wearing the stupid shirt/suit and commuting. The worst part? Having 20% income tax + 12.8% (I think) national income contribution ripped off my salary...i.e. quite literally, 4 out of 12 months of my working life in any given year goes straight to the government. How's that for easy money for them? I never quite liked the idea of tax, wealth distribution my ass. I'm the one who's distributing!

The whining aside, I'm done with the term!! Ok, technically I'm not cos I have a derivatives seminar (how fun!) left today but I'm say I'm done because I've handed in all my work that's due :D *GRINS* Now I need to think about what to do and where to go in Barcelona...that somehow, funnily enough, isn't exciting me.

And I'm being greedy again. I want new lenses for my camera. I'm even somewhat wishing that I got the 50D instead but nevermind that, now I just need more lenses. I want the:
  • 10-22mm f3.5-4.5 (roughly being sold for £500)
  • 50mm f1.4 (this one for £300)
  • and the 100mm f2.8 macro (and this for just a little over £400)
Put that together and wayhay what do you know, £1,200!!!!!! 60,000baht... BLAH. I'll just leave the list for all the world to see what to get me for my birthday, that shall do the trick *wishful*. Anywaaaay, here're some photos from my new toy...that I still don't know how to operate properly. Notice the sky slowly brightening up, I was up til 6 that morning doing my essay so I thought since I was up and since I'll never be up at this time, I'll go around campus taking photos.
