Gah study geog until die. totally sux. done the last 3 chapters today, river landforms, flooding and coasts. the river landforms is the worst. Bloody meanders and floodplains and stuff. You learn one and forget the previous one. The coasts and flooding was a big mess too. damn. And all the other chapters I learned them last monday. Now forget everything le. Haiz...
Next week is gonna be a bad week too. All the other subjects I learned only a little on each, physics is half done, chemistry i've barely started, bio is half done, maths paper 2's progress is still 0. Damn. This EOY is gonna be damn screwed. I've already badly screw SCS and Chinese paper 1. chinese is really really screwed through the roof! But Lang Arts is beautifully done :D
Anyway, I've adopted a new slogan :
"FAILURE IS ALWAYS AN OPTION"
This is really nice. Good for stress relief during the exams. But then again, let's face it, who wants to fail?
Ok let's not mention exams anymore. My com just broke down on friday. CPU fan spins like mad but it just won't boot up, not even a BIOS error message or anything. Sux huh? Have yet to diagnose the problem, but i've ruled out broken RAM. Probably a failed motherboard or a broken CPU. Maybe the hard disk's toast. Using laptop now, sux.
Anyways, thinking of buying a telephoto lens after the exams. I'm damn frustrated with the EF-S 18-55mm. Does not have the reach i need! I've been having a dilemma between EF 70-300mm F/4-5.6 IS USM or the EF 70-200mm F/4L USM. This are the 2 decent ones with my budget range. The 70-200mm is really great, fixed aperture, excellent build quality and image quality, metal body, it's a L lens!!! The 70-300mm on the other hand, has slightly lower image quality, a variable aperture, but with a 2-mode IS and additional range. Range is very important to me, but is the compromise on image quality worth it? and it also offers Image Stabilization, very important for shooting telephoto without tripods. It's also $100 more expensive than the 70-200mm. Yes, the L lens is cheaper! So the decision is indeed very difficult to make. I've tried out an EF-S 18-200mm the other day and realized that 200mm is not as telephoto as I have hoped. So 70-300mm's focal range is really appealing. But lets not forget the 70-200mm is an EXCELLENT L lens. The decision is indeed hard to make.
