Treasure What You Have

I was surfing flickr and found a lot of nice pictures taken by other people using the same camera model (aka PowerShot SD870 IS) as me. I realise that I should bring it out more and work on my (lack of) skill, instead of listening to other people goading me into getting a DSLR. Haha. Lucky my ears not soft. Or I would have swiped my card already.

Canon IXUS 980 IS

By On October 24, 2008 · 6 Comments · In Gadgets

Canon recently launched a new compact camera that allows users to control aperture and shutter speed. I am very tempted to sell off my Canon IXUS 860 IS to get this camera so that I can experiment with aperture and shutter speed. Have already seen a couple of sample pics taken by this camera, it’s just as good (or sucky at high ISO :p) as my 860.

Also, it’s selling at SGD 659 with free 4GB SD card, which I think is a normal price range. Maybe can get cheaper at Mustafa? But might not have freebies there. Haha. I can sell off my current camera and top up a bit to get it. :) Need to check how much my current camera can fetch. I’ve only used it for a year and it’s in pristine condition.

Last Weekend

By On October 21, 2008 · 7 Comments · In General

A lot of things happened last weekend:

  • Friday: Fainted at Clementi MRT, met life-saving doctor, half day KO
  • Saturday: Holga camera, 小さい hat, Pris’s birthday partay
  • Sunday: Working on this layout!

Friesday: I fainted at Clementi MRT while waiting for the train on my way to work. Managed to get myself seated next to an auntie, who helped me get the MRT staff, before I KO and hit the floor. The MRT staff wheel-chaired me to their staff room and fed me Milo. I called my parents to fetch me when I was able to. MRT staff asked if I was on my way to school. *Feels flattered* Haha. Parents came and cabbed me to a life saving doctor! I’ve been sick since July, and all doctors I’ve seen before this could not tell me what was wrong with me. I have had a blood test done and chest x-ray taken, which showed normal results. This doctor was able to tell me what’s wrong with me and gave me a prescription accordingly. I am happy to say that I am 元気 now! Will intro this doctor to all my friends. :) After getting home, I got some work done, and KO-ed from 3 pm onwards.

Saturday: Went to get Pris a birthday present as well as some headgear at Vivocity. Rabbit ears were sold out, so I got a chiisai cosplay hat (in lower left hand corner of pic above)! Went to PageOne to get Pris a present, saw the Holga camera and nearly bought it on impulse. Was toying with the idea of buying for her as well, but it’s a film camera and totally troublesome. Still pondering over it now. I think the multi-colored set is damn cool. We had a crazy TABOO party that evening. Didn’t join them at Zouk after cos I was still on the road to recovery.

Sundaes: I spent the whole freaking day coding this, trying to fix the background. Lol. Have no idea when the weird horizontal scrollbar appeared. >.>

New Layout!

By On October 21, 2008 · 6 Comments · In General

New layout. But I don’t like it even though I’ve spent the past 10 years working on it.

There’s this freaking weird side scrollbar and my background disappears in firefox/chrome. Only looks good in IE.

I fail at CSS. :( Will recreate another layout soon.

I go sleep.
