Enter The Camus

After much toiling, and debating, and agonizing, I finally went ahead and bought myself a new camera. Everyone, please meet, Camus the Camera! A Sony Cyber-shot w80.

And yes, he is pink. Thus the name (named after girly-looking guys because like Sasarai, Camus is a guy who looks excessively like a girl. Not that I don't think that is hot XD). I already have a digicam actually, but that one doesn't take very good pictures in dim lighting. And besides, right now it's a bit out of...commission. Been wanting to have him fixed but haven't got the opportunity hehehe...

Took a bit of browsing before I actually bought this one. I searched around at the available models. tried them on, the went online to look for user reviews. I had several things to consider, one being the quality of pictures it take in dim lighting, price, functionality, appearance and of course, whether it'll still be relevant in four years to come.

If you hadn't gone digicam browsing lately, you'll notice that most of the new Sony cameras are touchscreens. Not that I mind too much with touchscreens, but...you know. I am a clumsy person and such, so enough said about that.

The wonders of browsing around Sg. Wan led me to the realization that I could get the camera for cheaper than the list price of RM999 and with a free 1GB memory stick! I found RM950 and RM920, but thankfully they don't have pink ones. Until finally I went to this store where my dad bought my last digicam and they offered me the same package for the price of RM899! Plus I get a free pouch!

The pouch is dull and black, and the sale assistant know too well that I would replace it as soon as I got it. But for now it is Camus's sleeping bag, until I can find a better one, who knows?

I saved rm100. And that, my friend, is a lot of money XD. I could buy a pants or a shirt from Padini Authentics with it.

My sister is coming over from Kuching tonight to go watch Backstreet Boys concert tomorrow night. Glad I don't have to go. Not that I don't like BSB, but the timing is not right. I'd rather sit at home and watch TV than go out and see the concert :/.

I'm very busy these days you know.

Till next time.

Ta'ra!

Going Online For Nonsense

I hate going online for useless nonsense. Printing tickets, for example. But this is the first time I'm taking the train to Singapore so I'm allowing myself some lobaness. Anyway, yeah I'm going on my first of two Singapore trips tomorrow afternoon.

Karol and Nad arrived from Kuching today and tomorrow we go Singapore together coz they have to renew their tourist visa. Quite mafan, so might as well go sightsee while we're there. Their condo at Klang Lama is nice, but transportation is HEN MAFAN! I called all three cab companies and they all turned me down! In the end we had to walk under the drizzling rain to the nearest KTM station and took the train to Mid Valley. While boarding the train I accidentally stepped into the gap between the train and the platform. On my way down I grabbed onto a small woman in front of me. The poor thing.

Anyway, those two were so culture-shocked that I was shocked! I've told them there are a lot of people in KL but they weren't expecting it to be such a melting pot of people and cultures. I would have stayed over at their condo tonight but I didn't want to get smack in the way of their cleaning XD. Besides, I have my own chores to do at home. I pressed daddyo's shirts, for one. Tomorrow I still have to sweep the house before I leave.

I want to arrive early to the train station so I could spend some time eating before we leave. I used to spend 5 hours on the train from London to Edinburgh and all the food they had were snacks and sandwiches. Not that I'm complaining much, but you can't really expect a hot meal on the train can you?

My blog is seriously lacking pictures. Not my fault Sasarai sucks at taking pictures. I'm thinking of replacing him. That transvestite! If I get a new phone I'm going to name that one Sasarai too and pretend this one never existed.

To prepare for my 7 hour journey, I uploaded some songs from my Maroon 5, Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears CDs into Marimo the Third (that's my ipod by the way). Yes you read right. I still listen to BSB and Britney. 'NSync too in fact. I love them classics. I also bought snacks from the supermarket when we went shopping. I had some trouble getting a suitable bag for my trip, but I finally decided to get this pulley laptop backpack that my mom bought for us to stuff groceries XD. Hehe...only my mom would buy a bag designed for heavy laptops especially to lug heavy groceries home.

Right, so, I need sleep. And my shoe strings are not in place yet! Ta'ra!
