Impulse buy

Sweated it out for two hours at the gym and then splurged myself with a couple of items from my favourite kinda shop.

I actually went to this shop to get something else but then laid my eyes on this. It's something I've been meaning to get since last month but non of the shops I went to had it in stock. I'd rather not take the chance of buying something like this without being able to test it first, especially when it's this pricey.

It's a good thing I was patient enough not to order this flash from some of the other better known camera outlets. Got it here RM400 cheaper than they're selling elsewhere.

From the online reviews I've read I know it'll be a worthwhile investment. So nows there's one more item I'll be paying for over the next 12 months, hopefully interest free as long as I don't let the balance accumulate.

What I actually went to the shop to get was this nifty little thing, called the Gorillapod SLR. I missed out on some great night photo shots because I couldn't be bothered to lug around the bulky tripod whenever I was out and about at night. With the Gorillapod I can just simply look for something solid to attach it to and shaky, blurry night shots will be a thing of the past.

I can attach it to railings

To chairs

Onto room dividers

On uneven surfaces

On gym equipments if I ever decide to do a TT & take self shots at the gym :)

Found a better use for it at the gym, I can use it to add more weight to the dumbells

I can use it to take pics of myself washing dishes

Heck, I can even strap it onto Mira
