1. What colour pants are you wearing now?
Tan.

2. Do you prefer light or dark haired guys?
Light haired guys. Easier to spot them in a crowd.

3. Are you currently frustrated with a boy?
Yeah man, that punkass hasn't returned my money!

4. Do you have a best friend?
Kawan I semua best kan? Tapi yang hutang I, tak best.

5. Who was the last person you hugged?
The smitten kitten.

6. Have you ever had your heart broken?

Oh yes, she told me she was already together with another guy even before we broke up, and I got up and slapped her. So much for my beliefs in non-violence.

If you follow how I do memes, you'd know some of that is fiction.

7. Have you ever thought of having plastic surgery?
No, my skin is a bit tough and will need metal instruments to puncture and cut my skin. Plastic scalpels do not cut it.

8. Do you like your life?
Why, yes, I do! Wait...

Do I?

Really?

Do you?

Shit, now that you ask it that way... I wonder if I am really happy with my life, or if it's just a reflex response.

9. Do you shop at Hollister?
I don't know where Hollister is.

10. Has one of your friends ever stolen a boyfriend from you?
Yes. There was a time when Mr. Sia was largely missing in action. Watch your back imma gonna get ya!

11. Have you ever jumped in the pool with your clothes on?
Swimwear is a form of clothing, so I'd say... yes.

12. Do you have more friends that are girls or boys?
Let's see - girly males not much (I just don't attract their friendship), boyish males many, girly females not so much (thank GOD!), boyish females some. Thus, more boys.

13. How long have you had MySpace?
MySpace won't tell me, but I first joined because Reza used one of my pictures on his MySpace profile and I wanted to see if he credited me.

Because he's good-looking, has a sexy voice, and gets me into gigs for free, I'll let him off.

14. Have you ever slapped a boy in the face?
No. Is it enjoyable? Will he enjoy it? Do you know any boys who want to be slapped in the face? Drop me a comment, let me know!

15. What are your biggest fears?
Slapping a boy in the face, and then him enjoying it, and then him trying to convince me that it's enjoyable to be slapped by slapping me as well.

16. Has anyone close to you ever passed away?
No, but many people close to me have passed wind.

17. Have you ever cried yourself to sleep?
When I was a baby, and my dad said he was going out to the shop to buy some bread. Father of mine!

18. Have you ever not been able to get someone off of your mind?
A greater challenge is to get someone off your waist.

19. Do you believe in the saying, "Once a cheater, always a cheater"?
No. A good expulsion from school should do the trick.

20. Have you ever had a good feeling about something?
Yeah, every time she calls.

21. Do you ever wish you were famous?
No I didn't. I think somebody else's wish got granted on me instead.

That must mean that somebody else woke up one day with t!ts and a killer ass.

22. Are you currently missing someone?
Yes yes. Oh and I share the missingness of the nation - we're missing Sharlinie! Please find her.

23. Please tag 5 people:
John F. Kennedy, Elvis Presley, Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin.

Whatdya mean we can't tag dead people? The morgue does it all the time!

I've met a lot of new digital SLR owners who have very few lenses but carry very big bags. I have a small bag but carry a lot more lenses. So, I've written this guide with pictures on how you can use smaller bags to fit more stuff efficiently.

This also helps for those self-professed gearheads (I am one of them.)


First concept you must learn - the FLASH would usually be L-shaped so it can sit in a smaller bag with an SLR with STANDARD lens.

STEAL ME I HAVE EXPENSIVE EQUIPMENT INSIDE!"

A little pocket fits a camera battery, flash batteries and a flash shoe.

What's it for? You can shoot events with just this setup.

Range: Standard range, 18-70mm APS-C perhaps.




The next bag is a Mini camera bag. It can house a FISHEYE and PRIME (with teleconverter) in the front compartment. Here it goes from 8mm fisheye to 100mm F2.8 (50mm F1.4 + 2x teleconverter). You can also put the 2x teleconverter on the FISHEYE for a sorta-wide.

This is my most common setup.

Range: 8mm fisheye to 100mm F2.8 (50mm + 2x teleconverter).




I have a medium-sized bag which is about the size of those Crumplers, I think. Side pockets are small and can only fit a FISHEYE and PRIME with teleconverters. The front pocket is slim and just fits the FLASH while the main compartment has a velcro divider, making space for a SUPER TELE and camera with STANDARD lens.

Believe me, I don't bring the SUPER TELE around as often as I'd like to. Also, the TELE is missing from this lineup.

* TT is a short form for Teh Tarik session, a Malaysian activity where camera enthusiasts meet at a eatery for drinks to discuss gear (and sometimes, show off pictures. Sometimes.)

What's it for? To show off the great deals I got. My lenses in total cost less than my digital SLR.

Range: 8mm fisheye to 1100mm (SUPER TELE 400mm + 1.4x teleconverter + 2x teleconverter)




Then, I pack in more from the previous design here. It will be a hassle to set up initially, but you'd hang the camera around your neck after that.

Range: 8mm fisheye to 1100mm (SUPER TELE 400mm + 1.4x teleconverter + 2x teleconverter)
