1.6k.

But I think you may be better served by the canon s95. almost as powerful as the xz-1 but way smaller. both have image quality like older dslrs.

The s95 is only like RM1.3K. It is cheaper than the xz-1.

LA is full of very attractive and successful women.  Notice that this girl is wearing a Ulysse Nardin Caprice with Mother of Pearl face and diamonds.  RM 28k watch that she bought on her own.
She is an Investment Banker.  I am attracted to high-powered women.

i have some knowledge, but i do not profess to know a lot.  ck77 and patryn33 in the watch forum know a lot more.
but i suppose if one is to spend RM 18-30k on watches, he or she should know a thing or two about the finer timepieces.

hi LiLFreaK

no, most women in the states do not spend this type of money on material goods.  in fact, I have never met a girl with a Hermes Kelly or Birkin bag.  It is considered extremely high fashion, and many girls do not even know what this is. 

Malaysian and Singaporean women will spend a higher percentage of their salary for recognition by brands, looks, etc.  They are more fashion forward than the typical American girl. 

average salary in the U.S. is about RM100-120k/year.  because the cost of living is higher, this does not leave much left for luxury goods and other expensive items.  i think, in comparison, Singaporeans are doing much better than this.

A white collar investment banker from a metro area will earn substantially more, about RM 240-300k/year in their first year, but this is considered extremely competitive and there are only a small number of spots available.  It most certainly requires education from a well known (and very expensive) school and very high scores/marks.

this is a no shame, full face photo, so pls excuse me.  now you all know what i look like, and can flag me down on Jln Bukit Bintang, or Lebuh Farquhar/Upper Penang Road.

heheh, true - i suppose most of the people on these forums are of a much younger crowd.  I am 29 yrs old, so probably older than many.  although, in this photo, maybe i look like im 35?

thanks for the pic Zackry.

less talk, more pics pls!!
Getting ready to go out.  I think I'm setting my phones here or something.

About 16-20 C in Taipei yesterday, but feels colder. 

16 isn't too bad, but when it gets to single digits, starts getting chilly.

korea was regularly hitting 1-2 C and much lower with windchill.
Picked these up in Seoul.  Ever since Shia Lebouf wore them in Wall St. 2, they've disappeared off of the shelves back in the states.
