My poor camera!!!

Within a time frame of two years (or less), your friend here is going to buy her
3rd camera!!! What a spendthrift ya... hahahaha... NOT!
Here's what happened.
My
Panasonic Lumix FX01 was stolen at my own home, if you can remember.
So I bought myself a
Sony W150 last August at an IT show. It was a great bargain then cos I was given two batteries, two 4G Sony memory sticks and lots of other accessories including a pink leather casing which was supposed to sell separately at a cost of SGD 55.
I simply loved that camera to the max la cos it captured excellent outdoor photos. Best of all, it was in bright pink - a very beautiful colour.
Hiyahz... but good things just never last.
Brought QiQi to Jurong West swimming pool one weekend (2 to 3 weeks ago). I wasn't swimming cos i couldn't fit into my one-piece swimming costume (that's for sure) and I was not daring enough to put on my bikini in my current state. So Ah Long was the one who took care of Qi in the pool.
As I was standing beside them near the shallow water of the wave pool, Ah Long decided to go swimming for a while himself....
Then disaster stroke.
Qi lost her balance and submerged into the water. The moment I saw this, the next natural reaction of mine was to scoop her up. With this 'scooping' action, my camera went for a dip in the water for probably 2 seconds.
And yes... 2 seconds into the pool and off the camera went.
Sent it for repair but was told that guarantee did not cover water damages and that the total repair costs would add up to $500+ which exceeded the cost price of the camera itself.
So what's the point of me getting it fixed??? Might as well buy a new one lo...
So there you go, this is your friend here about to get herself a 3rd camera in 2 years time.
Wa the cau... Who buy so many cameras in such a short span of time sia??? TMD!!!
I'm looking at
Sony H10 at the moment (I still prefer Sony leh) but Ah Long wants to buy a digital camera that's waterproof to prevent such things from happening again... hahahaha... I am not in favour of it though... kekeke.. cos Sony doesn't have waterproof digital camera.
This entry explains why there is no photos recently.
I shall update you with my new scrap layouts once I have my camera. I'm so into scrapbooking recently that I did quite a number of pieces in the month of April itself.... wohohoho... I'm so proud of myself... :)
