Shopping Spree...

Update - It's not so painful now... slowly cutting down the painkillers to once a day. Drinking lots of water. Have been eating solid foods this past week. Appetite going back to normal (which is what I dread!). Have slim down a bit because of this operation and I don't wish to put back or worst case, put back more weight than I want to. Wish to lose some more so that I can wear the clothes sizes I wanted.

Went to a sale at Lipo building on Wednesday evening. They are having a sale on Levi's, Calvin Klein underwear, Timberland and Chaps shirts. Prices are pretty good. Bought a pair of Levi's for $40, some Timberland shirts for $29.90 each. Was told that the Timberland shirts were $159. Might go back there again to see if there's anything else to buy.

Car battery went dead again! This is the fourth time in 2 years that I replaced the batteries. The original one lasted for over two years. Not sure what happened. Mechanic said that the alternator is charging properly. He suspected that it's the sound system that's draining the battery. But I had the system since I collected the car (and with the original battery) so I don't think it's the sound system. I've changed to an Amaron battery this time. Last two times were this battery named Delkor. Hopefully this time it will last longer! 

Lastly, I'm out looking for a macro lens. Can't decide whether I should get a Nikon 60mm Micro lens or the Tokina/Tamron 100/90mm Macro lens. Prices are pretty similar. Only difference is that the Nikon can let me take pictures of food and items at sitting range while for the Tokina/Tamron ones I will have to move to the next table to take the picture. The Tokina/Tamron lenses is normally used to take close-up pictures of insect and nature (from a distance). Anyway, I'm looking for a second-handed lens and I'm not in a rush so will take my time to wait for a good quality and cheap one.
