Itchy Legs Got into Trouble
Sunday, March 04, 2007
See lah, all the months of training went to nought for the NUS triathlon...
I ran the regular route at Fort Canning Hill Park yesterday. Talk about Murphy's law: I have never sustained a really ankle sprain until then. Stepped onto some hole in the ground and kena a sprain. Not serious enough to make me unable to walk but enough to cause enough discomfort to put me out of action for the race today. Sorry Zixian, gotta disappoint you with my absence. And darn, my $20+ registration fees also gone. I will be back next year.
Pretty eventful week: participated in Singtel Information Group Annual Dinner on Fri as the photographer. Hmmm... will post some pixs later after I do my FNA1002X tutorial.
Bought a new toy: a Benro carbon fibre tripod. The aluminum Manfrotto 190PROB is just too heavy at 1.9kg and the wobbly joints amplify vibration. Benro 1127 is 1.4 kg and has alot stiffer legs and joints. Well, I lost the versatility of the Manfrotto's removable column though; the 1127 is a classic tripod.
Dad just got me a lobang as a backup photographer at some coporate dinner. He met his professional photographer friend who happens to want some help. Hope this will kick start some rolling money for my photography hobby.
Canon is kicking Nikon's ass in PMA 2007. The release of EOS-1D Mark III makes it the fastest DSLR in the world (10 frames per second!). I hope Nikon is holding back the latest DSLR(s) for last-minute revelation.
