Invested Interest

This blog has aged gracefully and I am so thankful that blogger.com is not going to shut down anytime soon unlike Geocities. *crosses fingers* =( Blogging for 7 years now as SheZai has opened up my eyes to many things. The aging that this blog has gone through is phenomenal. It has seen the different stages in our relationship. The essence of a blog, I feel, are pictures. Therefore, we have invested in a new camera. I was very interested in the Canon S90 series as blogged by XiaXue. The pictures on her blog are 'mad fab'! So we visited Best Denki (didn't bat an eyelid at the IT fair at all, fo' sure there's helluva crowd!) and scouted for the Canon S90. It was selling at $740. Just beside the Canon display was Ricoh, and most would feel that the brand sounds very 'Apek' or 'heard of but not so glam'. But both of us fell in love with it at first sight. It was an old model but we don't care. The freebies that were thrown in by the very very friendly salesman (2 lenses, casing, adapters, whatevers) speaks much of his generosity. He gave us $100 off the original price of the camera too! Look forward to better-quality pictures!


It was a very impulsive buy. Both hubby and I wanted a light-weight camera which is not so bulky and Huge Ass like the Canon EOS series which you see many YOUTHS lugging around their neck like it's an accessory, with no casing and everything, even when it rains, Gosh! (No offense to those real photography enthusiasts/friends. I'm sure those are really good cameras~! ) But we were looking for something more practical, light and easy-to-use. And finally we've found it. Ricoh it is. =)
