Here are some items that I wished to get in the future.
- Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM lens. A new one costs $1,550 now. Second hand should be less than $1,200.
- LCD monitor upgrade of at least 24-inch with 1920×1200 resolution, either Dell or Samsung brand (S$450).
- Sandisk or Kingston 16GB SDHC Class 6 card for my camera.
[12-Mar-09] Bought Sandisk Ultra II SDHC 16GB before my Europe trip.
- Hard-drive upgrade for my Macbook of at least 320GB.
[14-Dec-2008] “Accidentally” bought Hitachi 320GB 5400rpm hard drive. - Canon dSLR, top of the list is Canon EOS 450D with 18-55mm kit lens (S$1100) + 55-250mm zoom lens ($459).
[19-Jan-2009] Before I went back to Jakarta for Chinese New Year, I bought Canon EOS 450D with 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 lens for $1,800.
- A new digital camera to bring for USA Trip in September. Considering Canon IXUS 860IS @ $545 with 1×4GB SD card and extra battery. Waiting for COMEX 2008 coming end of August to buy this camera.
[29-Aug-2008] Got it in COMEX for $519 for lots of freebies. After that [01-Sep-2008], I went to Alan Photo to get a second original Canon battery for $70. A 3rd party battery costs $20 but I decided to go for the original one instead.
- A portable harddisk, again for USA Trip. Having a laptop while travelling is great, but what’s more important is its backup, as if the hard drive crashed on my flight back, it’ll be a disaster to lose all photos taken during the whole trip. I consider this $100-$140 spent as insurance paid against data lost during my trip.
[29-Aug-2008] Bought Western Digital My Passport 320GB in COMEX for $149.90.
- Another 2GB of Kingston DDR2-RAM 667MHz SO-DIMM to add on top of the 2GB currently installed in my Macbook, to make it 4GB. It should be about $55 at Simlim.
[01-Sep-2008] I bought another 2GB from Bell Systems in Simlim for $51.
- Logitech V470 Bluetooth Laser Mouse for Notebooks @ $85 I think the last time I checked. What I really like about this mouse is it’s Bluetooth, so no need to use any USB port.
[12-Sep-2008] Bought two pieces of the mouse from eBay for a total of $85. I won a bid for a new one for $50.50, and a used one for $39.50.
- In-ear earphone (after I gave mine to my brother).
[14-Jun-2008] Bought Sony MDR-EX32LP @ $38.
- A new laptop for my mum (she’s in real need of an upgrade)
[08-Mar-2008] Bought her a Compaq Presario V3638 from IT Show 2008.
- A small laptop that I can carry around if needed (like once or twice a month only)
[April-2008] Decided to get a Macbook so I’ll have a laptop that I can carry when I travel.
