urh if I'm not mistaken, there are no OEM lens types for specialist lenses specialist lens type include fisheye, macro and <50mm lens. reason being because the demand is not high enough to warrant the R&D required by OEM manufacturers. sad, but true. so no choice, must get Canon one. and it'll cost. a bomb.

let me warn you about DSLRs.... the older ones, and in particular the cheaper budget models like the EOS300D *these are considered budget still. seriously. hardcore ones will be like the D1 or the 1Ds from Nikon and Canon respectively. those.......13megapix monsters.* often have this problem. and the problem is................focal length multiplication! or at least that is what I think it is called. it's through the CCD *or CMOS for most Canon cameras* interpretation of the image, hence the expanded image size. ie to say, if you use a 50mm lens, your 50mm's minimum focusing distance will be 50 x FLM. the compensation levels differ from camera to camera. my D30 is about 1.56 if I'm not wrong..... this should not affect the normal user, but for the more hardcore ones who decide to get macro lenses, or lenses like fisheye 14mm, then it does affect at the end of the day because the macro lens does not become a macro lens anymore due to the FLM. sama sama for fisheye. in fact for fisheye, you may not even have the fish eye effect being replicated on the shot, due to the compensation. the flip side of it is that your telephoto lens as a result, has an extended range. so instead of 200mm, it may actually be 240-260mm, depending on FLM. overall, a DSLR is still a good investment. I've had one since 2001, and...let's just say it has put money and water on the table for me. also another thing to take note of. I don't know about EOS300's battery consumption rates. but mine devours battery power like no tomorrow. a wise investment will be on a couple of OEM battery packs *I think it's using battery pack and not those lit-ion 9v types you see in camera shops* (=

the dog looks petrified. it must have thought to itself "is he going to add more water down this thing? what's he doing with that white powdery thing. is that food? why is the water salty. uh-oh"

weed? *dons rastafari colours*

only the weak of mind will be fooled with the jedi mind tricks. *goes home and thinks*

but but. okay I'm a purist.

he made Hayden Christensen appear as Anakin in Return of The Jedi. I was quite upset. but overall. I still like the DVD. it's my precioussssssssssssssss. okay wait. wrong show.

I'm a typical man but I go to the market. or am I an atypical man.

degree is 103....facing the length AB. Point P to A should be around 13cm if I'm not mistaken. there abouts lah. manta... the O level syllabus may be leaving UK soon, but it wouldn't be leaving SG anytime soon. knowing how the MOE will work, they'll probably put a few pilot schemes around the better schools and see if they can work around their new scheme or not *aka guinea pig* discount RGS and RI...they're already doing the through-train package to direct JC route. so it'll be the other few elite schools like.....I dunno. SJI?

oh. aiyah no point talking about it. just. hope for the best, and prepare for the worst. (=

but the loci quite easy what. only draw triangle, the circle, and an angle bisector. nothing tedious what. some more the point they want to fine is a point that meets the angle bisector and the circle, no need to go guess where to shade like......closer to BA then BC etc.

I am damn pissed off with myself. I stopped at the loci question. I didn't know there was one more question at the back. wah lau. five marks gone down the toilet bowl just because of that. I feel like a frigging idiot. and to make matters worse, there were two sub questions that I didn't know what to do. four marks for those two. total, 9 marks down toilet bowl. add 10 marks for careless mistakes. 20 marks down toilet bowl. oh boy. paper 2 will be siong for me.

make sure you take the proper jerry can and not the POL one. one of my storeman friend went to fill up the POL can with water. and it almost got loaded onto the BnSA supply truck for our FTX when I was still a NSF. how on earth do you hide a jerry can anyway. those things are a little too big to hide underneath your number four.

my english passage also coral reefs. and yes, sps dude. that's the answer for the first part. (= as for SS. I don't need to take SS. and frankly, I think SS is.......nevermind. better not say anything.

you want? I've got one to get rid of. at a price of course. (=

ah yah. hmm. maybe seamonkee can also consider getting a small circular thing with rollers to put the pail ontop, so that it can be wheeled across the floor easily. (=

nice concept. certainly a refreshing thing to look to when you take periodic breaks from studying.

well we can always buy the nice 1:16 model of the Ferrari. I want to get one of these models of a F1 car (not Ferrari for me by the way. I'm a West McLaren supporter) but for now...am contended with just looking at the photos I took at Sepang. hehz.

Deepblue... so meaning to say you get a pump and pump the water from sump to longkang or toiletbowl or something, and then take the pump and place it in another bucket and pump new water back in? BUT what if the distance of where the new saltwater is prepared is about 10m away. any suggestions? (=

caulerpa removes nitrates faster due to it's perversely fast growth rate. my bunch of caulerpa just crashed, because I didn't prune it. *mutters* ulva on the other hand, has been said to remove phosphate as well. (=

dried sand affecting parameters? maybe affecting means it will not affect the parameters as the sand takes time to be saturated with infauna responsible for making the sandbed active. (= I'm using dried sand, and now the refugium is working perfectly fine. unless you have a truckload of money on live sand, I advice you to give dry sand a shot. to speed it up, you may want to seed it with a cup of sand from another reefer's tank. (=

nah I'm not that keen on the vouchers. althogh I do get a loyalty discount on my 7 year old M1 line and my mum's Singtel line. 40% and 50% off rates respectively.

how old are your lines with Singtel? my mum's line since 1994 or 95, the first year they released the GSM900 line. still no such vouchers.

see. told you it was stress. (= did he give you any sleeping pills? I get tension headaches too. got a history of them. and the only cure for it, for me that is, is to go lie down and sleep. something I couldn't do during my army days. sigh.
