They didn’t have a large range available instore today, but I ended up getting a new lens. *oops* Been wanting a general but decent telezoom lens for daily/travel photos, and ended up with the Canon 55-250mm f4-5.6 IS today. Nothing too flash, but is lightweight and I think would serve the purpose.

Was paying for the lens and making small talk with the staff and when I was leaving, I wished him a good weekend ahead, and his reply? “Keep dry!” It was drizzling outside and his reply made me smile. For all he cared, I could have a mediocre weekend, but for gawd’s sake, keep that new lens dry!

Can’t wait to try the new lens tomorrow at Singapore Day!

What I was being all angst over was that the tracking number provided appeared on the day I received the info (saying that it was lodged at xxxxx), but after that, it disappeared off the face of the planet. Repeated checks on USPS and Auspost yielded the same result – no item found. D:

I was informed that the item was due to arrive on the 8th (today), but I wasn’t very optimistic about it since I thought it had been lost in transit. @_@ Funnily enough, Bill (my regular EMS guy) delivered the new dollie at about 4pm today. Imagine the relief after a weekend of worrying!

Now for the lols bit – I deboxed new dollie, and prompted felt all nonchalent about him. >.> I thought he would be the perfect little buddy to Jelly, but looking at him as he is now, I’m not too sure. I guess it doesn’t help that his default faceup is scratched, and that I have no clothes nor wig for him to wear.

Hopefully a new faceup should fix that. Oh, and the many items that I won on Y!J (but have yet to be shipped) should help create his look too. ^_~
