I've got a good excuse for not blogging for a while. I broke my camera, dropped it on the floor when I took my scarf from the pouch. While the camera can still read my memory card, it refused to take any new pictures. Excuses are excuses, but why waste them?
Anyway I'm anticipating a parcel with my new camera in it. It should be sent out today from Aussie because I've purchased and paid for it on Saturday. Sunday being a non-working day means they would only "process" my purchases today. Can't wait for it to arrived. Oh! Oh! Oh!... this is so exciting...
Here's a picture of the camera. It's a FujiFlim FinePix S9600, a bridge camera between a Point-and-shoot and a DSLR. I hope to one day upgrade to a DSLR but for now, with my budget and my skills, I'm happy with a Bridge. Can't wait for it to arrive...
Hee... I think I'm even more excited about this camera than about the baby! (at this moment, I bet a lot of friends out there reading this blog wanna hit me on the head, but I'm too happy to be bothered) ;)
Oh Oh Oh, one last thing. I've learnt that unlike SG, where we would go to the camera shop, get a chance to feel and hold the product before purchasing it. Here, it's best do heaps of research and to purchase it online where it's slightly cheaper. And if the price is right, to get it from out of NZ which can definitely save even more money (even after the conversion rate and the delivery charges!)
But I so miss the part where we physically walked for miles, browsing heaps of camera shops, touch and feel the real thing and get a supposingly good deal loaded with heaps of freebies even though deep inside, we are aware that the cost of the freebies has been added into the selling price and that we probably won't use half of those freebies any way. :p But the buying experiences is so much fun. I miss SG's shopping.
with love from NZ,
J
