actually it not an exp hobby, there are far more exp and money taxing hobbies out there....our is consider mild liao

I agree...

Some people change car every 3 years... the money lost is worst...
Other tune their cars all the time... another money burner...
Others buy nikon or canon... money down the drain... :sofunny:

Which is worse?

  • Cars
  • Camera
  • Travel
  • Women's fashion shopping (Ladies, don't flame me...)
