My mission today
Sep 21st, 2008 by daphne
Yay, tonight I had a short chat with hubby - about the goodness of a Nikon DSLR over Canon DSLR.
Me: Hun, I need a new DSLR for better pix taking this Christmas
Hubby: But I thought you already have a EOS?
Me: Yeah, but Nikon take better pix … better STILL pix - since I’m not on the move so much, I think Nikon does me good
Hubby: BUT WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO WITH 2 DSLR?
Me: Well, I can give my EOS to you? *sheepish grin*
Hubby: What the heck do I need an EOS when I already have an EOS?
Me: Well, your EOS is old. OLD OLD model. My EOS is new and comes with extra lenses. Besides, I have all the necessary acessories for it. So, it’s a good offer … OR I can keep that as well.
Hubby pondered a while - thinking of what to tell me next …
Me (trying hard to push the EOS): Think! When you go for your business trips, you have a “canggih” camera to snap up all the cool places and architectures! Besides, it’s small and light. Unlike your OLD EOS! (yep … each time I spoke I had to STRESS on the word “OLD” I believe that pissed him off ) *haha*
Hubby: OK! Whatever lah (yeah he is very Malaysian - he knows very well when to use the “lah” and other very bombarstic swearing words) Go get it … but wait … I thought you said it’s a Christmas present? So why buy now?
Me: I can remove the camera and start practising now so by Christmas I can take very beautiful winter and family X’mas portraits
Hubby: It’s a Christmas present so I am ONLY going to get it during Christmas
Me: But I can always do with one now *lowered my voice* We can keep the box and wrap up the empty box or you can get me an external flash so I can put it inside the box and wrap it up - so at least on Christmas I still get a little pressie …
Hubby: OK WHATEVER … GO AND BUY!
Mission accomplished.
