I'm a kiasu and kiasi person. For all these while, my dslr and lens are not carefully protected. I don't have any dry box to keep them. I just simply leave them into my dslr bag, throw in few packet of silica gel and that's it. Until I read through an article last few days ago about this guy having this fungus growing in all his lenses!
I dare not risking the life of my dslr nor my lenses. Cleaning up the fungus sensor may end up letting you spend some serious cash. Even using silica gel would not help much. This happened to my friend's friend that he thought it is safe to use the "Thirsty Hippo" and he threw 2 of them into the container to prevent humidity. But it turned out worse. Somehow the sensor spoiled due to the cold sensor forming a layer of moisture and it suffered from sudden dry out because the moisture absorbtion from "Thirsty Hippo" was too strong. Phew~
Spending a few hundreds to get a dry box is a wise choice indeed. Play safe. Here's the Aipo 38litre dry cabinet I bought from Komtar, Click & Snap. The price is reasonable and afforable. It's not too big, not too small. It's divided into 2 storey, which you can see in the pic below. From my prediction, this able to hold approximately 4x 40D body and x6 6inch lens, or remove the stray divider, you are abled to store ur long 12 inch long lens. The design of it is cool. Although it is product of China, it doesn't seem like one. It is more like a modern fridge with see- through tempered glass door. This is enough for my current usage. Let's see how's the future, perhaps, I'll need a bigger one to store more good glass. Haha.
Aipo 38L Dry CabinetThis is funny... For all these while, due to some problem of my family, I've not been working for quite sometime. I'd been away from studies for almost a year long. In studies, I was supposed to further my studies after graduated from Diploma of Architecture, but after waiting desperately, it seems come to an end telling me, no, not the path I'm travelling on. Life gets misery, million and trillion of excuses given by the feelings deep inside. I'm in the rest room long enough.
My diverted lifestyle, I just awake not long ago, received a call from someone speaking with fluent english accent. It was a request from someone to shoot a wedding in kl. O.M.G! "Ah, sorry sir, I'm trying to figuring out something in my mind here, weak coverage." I explained after conversation delayed for few second. I didn't know how to say and the man who called asking me to check my email for the detailed information. Not trying to boast or something. But somehow I'm invited to be a wedding photographer by some 'ang moh'? Yet, I'm quite confused whether I'm capable of doing it? Deep in my heart, I wanted. Outward feeling, I know which stage I'm standing. But I'm glad God doesn't gave up on me even I always complained I've too much free time.
Some encouragement for my fellow readers and to myself:
The next time you feel like God can't use you, just remember:
Noah was a drunk
Abaraham was too old
Issac was a daydreamer
Jacob was a liar
Leah was ugly
Joseph was abused
Moses had a stuttering problem and was a murderer (so was Paul)
Gideon was afraid
Samson had long hair and was womanizer
Jeremiah and Timothy were too young
David had an affair and was a murderer
Elijah was burned out and suicidal
Isaiah preached naked
Jonah ran from God
Noomi was a widow
Job went bankrupt
Peter denied Christ
The Disciples fell asleep while Jesus was praying
Martha was a paranoid - worried about everything
The Samaritan woman was divorced, more than once
Zaccheus was too small
Paul was too religious
Timothy had an ulcer...AND
Lazarus was dead!
And don't forget God helped them all!!!
Now! No more excuses!
God can use you to your full potential.
GOD can certainly use you!
Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly...Leave the rest to GOD.

I didn't know what to write for my first post until I thought of Christmas is coming soon. Design is inspired by silhouette vector art and what I did was creating vector art by turning pictures into form of silhouette and blending them into the ambient of christmas together with the title: Fullest of Life. And here's the design I did for this year christmas dinner party organized by my church.
