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. =)

Intrigued with Hipstamatic

Both Hon and I are very delighted with Synthetic Corp for coming up with this fab application for our iPhones. Photography has never been easier. With many lenses and films and flashes to choose from, you'll be spoilt for choice! My Sony 5.1 mpx camera sits at home collecting dust now. And so we went on our usual Hot Date and went crazy with snapping pictures.

Please forgive me for camwhoring.

It is of utmost importance for us to go out on dates and one Sunday, when both of us weren't working, we just had an itch to visit the museum. Unknowingly to us, there as an exhibition going on called 'Quest for immortality' where they showcase mummies (dummies i suppose) and the Egyptian period. Sounds interesting right, so we bought package entry tix which allows us to visit their gallery as well. Tourists were strewn everywhere in this exhibition. After a brief 20 mins, we got bored. Seriously. There was a tour going on too and the guide was droning on and on and on and on and on about Cleopatra or some neanderthal nonsense. If it wasn't for Hipstamatic, we'd be well on our way to the next gallery. I was snapping away infinitely.

In the bus on the way to the museum

My face looks alienly elongated here. Weird.



We moved on to the next gallery.




They provided us with this heavy device to hang around our necks. And you put on the headphones to listen to the narration. There will be numbers on the floor and you press the numbers to hear the narration for where you are at. Kinda cool. There ARE those very diligent *Ahem hubby* ones who religiously put on the headphones and listen to the historical drones. Well, I couldn't care less. I hate history in Secondary school. I was more interested in art!



Hubby is seriously listening to the narration. With serious face and all. Hehe!


Interesting Ol'Skool stuffs!

Famished. We always mark the end of our Hot Date with FOOD! Overcharged Jalan Kayu Prata and Maggi Goreng near PS.



And there you have it. Our Hipstamatic Hot Date. =)
