Uncle. Teh-o jit puay.

I always ponder over lunch.
Ponder how come my diluted teh-o is worth a whopping $1.

lets do some maths to calculate the price of teh-o vs a good puerh.

Teh-0
500ml cup = $1
so 1 ml = $0.002

Puerh.
5 grams of tea can make 7 infusions of 150ml of tea
(assuming teapot is 200ml and 50ml was the space taken for the leaves)

so 5 grams can make 1050ml of tea
a typical cake is 357 grams. So it can make 74970ml of tea
therefore 357 grams of tea in coffeeshop = S$149.94
Therefore the price i pay at coffeeshop is equivalent to buying a puerh of value up to S$149.94

For S$149.94 i can easily buy a nice aged puerh, probably yr 2000?
Why do I have to put up with the expensive teh-o when I can buy a delicious aged puerh?

OOi. Uncle. Serve me something better please.

I will protect you

Took this with my friend's 105mm, macro.

New Toys

New toys for the 2nd half 2009. Yippie!

Bought a 18-200mm lens to replace my 18-105mm.
Bought a new UV filter for the lens.
Bought a battery pack to use as a vertical grip.

Now my cam looks like an expensive obese D3X. haha.

I cant possibiliy take the photo of my own cam right? Thanks to http://www.dcresource.com

With a SB900 it will look like a monster.

The grip has motivated me to take more portrait shots. And I love the option of using AA batteries for the cam. No more disappointments cos of low battery power.

Now that I have adjusted to the weight, I got to learn to control my flash which fires from the left now. My trial shots didn't look too balanced.

Considering to buy a shutter release cable next. Whoohooo.
