Last Uni Day before New Year! Speding All my Money

(Update 1 of 3)
Well this was the last day of uni so most of us stayed for ages after class.
and it was also the last day of shopping before the price rises after the lunar new year.
so Kaichi took me to famous Mong Kok so that i could buy my traditional dress for the house party i have been invited to.
After that we went to the computer market to get my camera, which indeed was the Newest and latest model to hit the shops. its the most powerful comapact camera in the world. Introducing the Casio EX-Z1000

As you can seen its very sleek and sexy, wicked dock and in/out puts at the back.

I decided to buy the package for $2400 (£159) which includes Extra battey, Mini Tripod, LCD Film, Leather case, and 1GB SD card. MEGA BARGAIN considering that HK is expensive!

This is my desk area in my room, i have tidyed up as it was in such a state. Look its my new HP printer i bought from the mega sale for $260 (£18) so cheap.

the pic below is taken on the casio and i have to say Kodak is better!
