10 Day Challenge: Seven Wants

Oh, this is an easy one. I want everything! See so simple. No? Okay let me try again. I want world peace and eradication of  poverty and sickness from the world (an excerpt from my Nobel prize speech. What? I am more likely to win the Nobel prize than win a beauty pageant!) Okay fine, I will write down seven things. Here it goes;

1. Hassleblad H4D-60

For uninitiated, it’s a medium format camera with 60MP sensor. I can’t even start to describe all the features of this beautiful camera. The only two cons of this camera: 1) it weighs about 1.8 kg and 2) it costs about $40,000.

2. Server and accessories

I would like to build a server from scratch one day. I don’t really need it but I do want it. Oh yes, I do. It will be nice to have one for post-processing my photographs faster as well as storing them in the server. Oh yes, while I am at it, I would like the Eizo FlexScan T2351W monitor and a Canon Pro9000 Mark II printer.

3. House

I want to buy a house with about 5-6 bedrooms, a game room, a dinning-room, a breakfast area, a living room, an entertainment room, a sun room, a big kitchen along with a basement that I can convert to a gym and a nice backyard. Also enough money to decorate my house exactly the way I want it, without cutting corners. Hey, you are the one who asked what I want!

4. Vacations

Oh there is a whole list for this section: all the places that I would love to visit in my life time. A cross country drive in US and Canada, drive across/train trip Europe, to visit Egyptian pyramids and river Nile, Peruvian country side to Falkland islands and it goes on and on. tourism

5. A New Wardrobe

Oh, how I would  love a new, stylish wardrobe. An outfit for all occasion, whether its casual or formal, evening or business. Instead of me standing in my closet (oh yes, I have a walk-in closet in my apartment) with multiple clothes and yet nothing right for the occasion.

Shopping

6. Health

This one is pretty important to me. I don’t like being sick. I don’t like having back pains. Anything that stops me from exercising or going out, I don’t like. I like to be mobile at all time. So being healthy is really important to me.

7. Happiness

Yet again, the obvious. Like every one else, I do want to be happy.

  3. Don't know much about cameras but it sure looks good! New wardrobe would be nice...and you have a walk-in closet...cool! :) Not that I have enough clothes for a walk-in closet.

  4. Walk-in closet is one of the few advantages of living in Houston. They have space, a lot of it. So houses are bigger and closets are a room. 

    I have a lot of clothes, though only few of them are wearable. Most of them are either a gift (so I can't throw them and since they look ridiculous on me, I can't wear them) or the free stuff that I got as a student (a bit sentimental about them too). Most of the clothes are either too big (free stuff) or too small (gifted). So basically my closet is filled with clothes but I have very few things to actually wear.  :(

  5. Lol...I have boxes like that with clothes that don't fit anymore. Either too small or too big. I though don't get rid of them because I have high hopes of fitting into the small clothes, and worry that I may need the big ones someday! And thereby, I end up hoarding!
