dreaming Artemis

So contacting might be a little difficult as I will be at the mercy of any free wi-fi I can find. Hopefully there will be something fun to do there. I do need the R&R, life in KL can be very stressful.

Until my return, pleasant dreams~!

It seems since they can’t compete with the Nikon and Canon version in terms of performance, so they seem to want to fight on the size and price front. Although they claim their version has all the wiz-bang that Nikon and Canon are touting. Another difference I can see from their new and old version is that the old version touts it can do macro at 1:3.8 level. 

Another weird thing though with the new Sigma version, is that the filter thread size is 83mm! Which is the biggest one I have ever seen! Most filters owned by people are 77mm, let’s hope the performance is as good as they make it sound. 

Though you shouldn’t brush off their version as well. Take a look at Nikon’s version of the lens

But we can be sure that their (Sigma) version will be much cheaper. But I’ll hold off judgement till I see a performance report on whether the Sigma version is really worth getting. 

So until then, pleasant dreams

Here is the official annoucement from the www.dpreview.com.

Basically this version will be able to make full use of OpenGL through the use of a 3D engine. When did photoshop become a video game? In any event, I’ll try and get an “evaluation” copy soon for the Mac to give it a try.

Though I am a bit curious about it’s purported “tab” feature. I’ve always found myself wanting tis feature when I was manipulating a lot of photos. So until then, pleasant dreams

Recently I was asked a question by a friend, “Which would you take? A good short life or a Long and miserable life?” He asked.

I replied in a “As a matter of fact” tone, “I prefer a short good life. In fact, I’ll be more specific then that, I rather have a good life for the next years to live out my dreams and I will be willing accept my imminent death by any methods without fear or regret, hell I would even choose to die by cancer which would result in me dying a horrible death. As I long as I get to live my dreams for ten years which is to see the world. Given the choice I would even sell my soul to the devil as my life is already so miserable thanks to God”.

The expression on my friend’s face was simply priceless, the sheer look of horror on his face. He thought I was joking but I was dead serious. I would even sign the papers right now if it gave such conditions!

I have found that living a long life is not what it’s cracked to be. I have found that having a fun life is more important then “living long”. Hence why I will never settle down, I rather die young right now if someone told me that the rest of my life is boring and always stuck in Malaysia. It’s not worth living if it’s going to be long and boring. But then if someone offer me to live long and happy, I would also reject it. A fun life is always best lived short.

It’s not that I don’t value my life, no wait. I don’t value life that much anymore after what I have been through. I find that for all I have been through I do believe I deserve better, but it seems hard work alone doesn’t get me anywhere. Hence now why I do things so recklessly in my own social circle. I don’t give a rat’s ass how other people value my life, you’re not living it. You don’t know what I have been through and I don’t want to hear your sob story about your own suffering. That belongs to you so keep it to yourself, I want to live a joyous life and if it means it will be a short one then so be it!

I am fed up with all this objectives of saving up for what? the future? Please I do not intend to live more then another decade or 2 if my life is going to be crap. This is how I go about living my life now, I know it is crap hence why I am now living it to maximize all my personal joy and I don’t intend to live long. So until then pleasant dreams!
