Hi I got a canon 1000d, kit lens and 50mm 1.8. Macro and fish eye tele converter lens. Now I kinda bored with the camera. What should I do? Should I buy speedlight to try or new lens or rent lens? Hope bros can give some advice.

Reflect / ponder about the reason. Otherwise the story will repeat itself with whatever you pick up next.Now I kinda bored with the camera. What should I do?
There is an entire section for outings.Thanks for the advice bro! maybe cos I do not really know how to use the lens for what purpose so as to create nice pics! Hmmm, what your recommendation for me to get more exposure and experience?

You should continue using the EF-S 18-55 IS, because it does a lot. Just look at this photostream (not mine) and you will know what I mean: http://www.flickr.com/photos/36821100@N04/
pick any subject you like,
shoot noting else but only this,
till a day when people once see the photos will know that is yours,
than pick another subject and do the same again.

The purpose of a lens is to capture light and focus it on the sensor area, period.

Thanks bro, for the outing, will they teach u or give u advices?
For courses and lessons you can check the respective subforum. Of course, it all has a price tag. If you prefer to get knowledge taught / served you need to pay a bit.Thanks bro, for the outing, will they teach u or give u advices?

I don't see how no. 3 helps. Most modern lenses are horrible at manual focus as their focus rings rotate too little. A slight shift can result in a drastic shift in focus, and you really don't want to be playing around with it all the time.for me, learning how to use my equipment and REALLY go out and shoot never make me bored..
there are ways to make this hobby interesting..
1. go out, shoot, but limit yourself to 36 exposure, and do not erase or retake, just like when you are using film
2. set the lens to one focal length, eg 18mm, and that's it, shoot only with that focal length
3. don't use your autofocus..
4. use M mode and experiment with it, use sunny 16 rule if you want, don't just read out from the camera's metering..
5. use sunny 16 rule, guess the exposure, match it with the camera.. make it a guessing game, you don't need to actually take a picture (you can if you want) to play this "game"..
better yet, play it with a friend who's interested in photography as well, and set a small reward for the one who got it most.. this can improve your exposure estimating ability..
6. do 1 to 4 altogether.. experiment with it.. see if this can help cure your boredom..
many ways to keep the hobby interesting, you just need to be creative, and not taking photography as something related to buying, buying and buying more gears..
sometimes, less is more..
