Exactly 1000 days ago, I arrived here in Singapore for the first time. A lot of things have changed since then, more about that soon.

...when you visit this site and you know that the pics were taken in Singapore because you think the first picture looks like a HDB void deck, you recognise the powerplug in the 2nd picture as one from SG, and the sign on the third picture is in English, Chinese, and Malay, but you should know it because Anything and Whatever are a Singaporean brand...

I did it!

I wrote before how I am tempted to buy new camera equipment.

As for option one, I nearly bought the 14-54mm lens, but the seller was pushing a bit too hard for me to get it very soon (I wanted to have a look at it on a Friday, he wanted to meet me urgently on a Wednesday, as he had someone else interested in it). As I don't really need the lens immediately (just an upgrade of an already existing lens, the 14-45, which is quite good already), I told him that he can sell it to that other person.

Option two was the additional lens, that I might get one day, but I know that my main photography areas are elsewhere.

Option four, the flash, would be a wonderful addition, but still I'd use it not on a regular basis.

So, in the end, I went with option three and bought a new camera body Smile  And I'm absolutely happy about that decision, I really love the 5fps and the big buffer (compared to my E-500). I went to the Bird Park on Sunday morning, and was testing the camera a lot. Awesome camera!
