Thanks to the people who commented. I roughly have some idea to make up my mind on which body to take. Next came the accessories + lens. Gotta pick one another.
Some of my lens choices
- Canon EF-S 18-55mm IS f/3.5-5.6 (Kit lens)
- Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II (I think this is a must have lens)
- Tamron AF 17-50mm F/2.8 XR Di II LD (Alternative fast lens to the 18-55mm, cheap as well)
- Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4.5 DC Macro (Part of the research)
- Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 EX DC (More expensive than the Tamron)
ZOOM (Will have to see the need for zoom after hands on)
- Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS (For the longer reach. The IS here is a saviour)
MACRO
- Tamron AF 90mm f/2.8 Di Macro(The one and only for figu)
FLASH UNIT
- Canon Ex Flash 420/430/550 Ex
- Sigma EF-530 DG SUPER
STGCC
looking forward to great shots bro. ^^;

another thing that you may want to consider for macro lens is Sigma HSM 150mm (the more focal length, the better
), this lens is very well built, even sturdier than the camera body 
some people say that sigma quality is better than tamron (which is why sigma lens is more expensive), but I’m not sure because I only have sigma.
My suggestion is if you have the monies, go 1st party accessories (canon)
