Happy new year!

As per common practice, resolutions and wishlists are made for the new year. I am not normally the type of person who would draft resolutions to be achieved but I'll jump on the bandwagon for this one time.

2010 Resolutions:

• Reduce procrastination and increase productivity

• Try to show up at the mosque a bit more often

• Learn a new language or brush up on Arabic

2010 Wishlist:

• Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-200mm F3.5-5.6G IF-ED VR II

Priced at a whopping RM2700+, this versatile lens will make me think, reconsider, think and reconsider again before I eventually decide to part with the money. However, the lens perform remarkably well for zoom and wide angle shots making it very appealing for the non-professional photographers who do not feel like getting a superzoom in the mould of the 70-300mm.
Probability of procurement: 75%

• Nikon SB-900 Speedlight

Successor to the SB-800, this neat addition will set me back by RM1600+. It will however complement well with the 18-200 lens above.
Probability of procurement: 60%

• VForce Grill Mask

Fogging during a paintball game is pretty damn annoying. One solution would be the VForce Grill, one of the more awesome looking paintball masks in the market. Plus, cases of fogging for this mask is very rare. This will set me back by RM300+.
Probability of procurement: 95%

• PS3 Slim

Wanted to get a PS3 ever since playing COD: Modern Warfare 2 at a friend's place. The graphics were life-like and the gameplay mesmerizing. However, I am rarely at home nowadays and with a PS3 priced at RM1200+, a PS3 acquisition seems kinda low in my priority list. Probability of procurement: 10%
