I didn’t have an April Fools’ Day post this year. Boring.

Last Saturday, I shot over 2GB worth of photos. Make that 2.5GB worth. I filled up a pair of 1GB CF cards plus another 512MB, all in the under 8 hours.

I’m going to Taiwan next month. I need a camera, preferably a dSLR. Does anybody want to lend me one? It’ll only be for 10 days.

My parents (as well as my sister and her husband) are flying out of the country sometime this month. By the time they get back, I’ll be out of the country too. What does this tidbit mean to you? Nothing, I guess - but I didn’t really have anything else to type.

I’m hungry. More to the point, I’m craving for some sushi and / or sashimi.

USB 1.1 sucks. It’s frustratingly slow, especially when you’re trying to unload some 500+ MB from a camera. On the flip side, it gives you an excuse to blog, or do some other useless sh*t while at work. What a way to use company resources, right?

I’ve just counted, and I have 6 flashlights in my bag now. A couple are running low on juice already, and one is dead. Throw in the lighter and the matches in there, and you can be pretty sure I won’t be in need of a light as long as I have my bag with me.

I also have 3 knives, but only one of them (at least in my opinion) has a decent blade. The other 2 are still pretty sharp, but too small to really be useful. They’ve still got some other functions though.

What other toys have I got in my bag? I’ve got my Tungsten, my t68i, a 10GB external HDD, a stress ball, my sunglasses, several carabiners, some rope, plus a bunch of other things. Yes, I was a boy scout when I was younger. Laging handa, or for those who need an English translation, always prepared.

My picture dump is almost through, so I’m ending this session of randomness here.

    This is anne by the way :) Taiwan is great. Where exactly will you be going? Hua Lien is absolutely recommended. Check out the snake market and the chiang kai siek memorial. Go to CKS at around 5pm so you can see the changing of the guard. its also much nicer at sunset. You’ll like their food too…dimsum and rice cakes are absolute favorites of mine. And buy a pre-paid mrt card, you’ll be using that to go around a lot.
