Mudik The Series, Season 3

Kind of busy for the last 2 months, but finally I managed to get a plane ticket to mudik to Malang :) Fortunatelly, I wont stay longer in Malang this year. Only from 28/09/2008  to 04/10/2008. Effectively only 5 days. But I’ll try to explore my hometown within 5 days plus more culinary info :P

For the least 2 years, I reported my day-to-day activity during trip to Malang. This year is the 3rd season of my Mudik The Series :)

My gadget wishlist

What is your gadget whistlist?

Since I went back from China, I had "plantar fasciitis" problem in my feet. It’s because of f*****g foot massage I had in Shenzhen. I swear my self i wont go to that kind of massage again for the rest of my life.
The thing is I could lost one of my favourite hobby, outdoor sports .. including football :( Last time I played football on July 2008, I was barely able to walk normally. *sigh* My heels were hurt. Therefor, I think i need to focus on my other hobbies, photography and building action figures :P

So, my wishlist for my Nikon D80:
AF-S DX VR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 or AF-S 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5 (for all around lens on daylight purpose)
Tamron SP AF17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di II LD Aspherical [IF] –Nikkor 17-55 f/2.8 is too expensive :(–
Nikkor AF 80-200mm f/2.8D ED N (cant afford to get the AF-S VR :P Maybe I’ll try to get the second hand in the market)

Upgrade my MacBook to a MacBook Pro
Axioo Pico or MSI Wind (for mobile Linux :P)
Nokia E51 (I need the HSDPA and maybe Mail for Exchange client)

a dinner table
a refrigerator
another bedroom set with better built :P
(i think the last 3 are not considered as gadgets :P),
