My Shopaholic Day

Today was a BIG spending day for me.. :) This is what happened when you postpone all your purchases and wait till the very last min until you really, really, really need to use it... So today is that day... the time has come for me to make our final decision. It was a good feeling of finally becoming the master of your purchases. We have been discussing for months (in fact it has been a year!) of getting a camera bag and a useful yet good quality lens for our camera.

Nothing has been purchase for the past few months due to the price factor! hahaha... yeah, I'm quite price consious when come to BIG purchases like this cause I seldom spend more than 200 dollars in a day's purchase. So this is consider a BIG purchases for ME :) (D*** it to our weak currency!!!) And so happened also me and hubby went to watch a movie called Confession of a Shopaholic by Isla Fisher. The movie was so funny! Do watch if you are planning to for for a movie this week.

Well well... the first purchase of the day... *druming* I finally found the lense that I was looking for. My hubby bought me this super sharp Canon 24-105mm f/4L IS USM lens! :D Can't wait to take it out for my trip this weekend! :) Yeah, my hubby has planned to bring me to Japan again!!! :) Hopefully there's no rain this time.

One the other hand, my second purchase of the day was this Crumpler backpack which can fit a SLR camera & 17" inch laptop bag (2-in-1) which I've been eyeing it for soooooooo long. I'm very gald that I finally found the bag that I want. The bag name is Crumpler Karachi backpack which comes in black and brown only.

This is the large model, for D-SLR kits with one to two bodies, tele and or wide zoom lenses attached, several spare lenes an external flash or two & accessories or medium to large sized video kits and compact tripod. Weight limits not withstanding, this fits all but the very smallest overhead airline lockers.
