The First and Her Predecessor

After thinking for months, we decided to buy new camera. Nothing really wrong with the old one. She is our first. And she's still able to produce nice pictures (for my standard). See it yerself, she still can take a nice pic of her predecessor... And 3 mega pix is big enuf for me. She is quite reliable, although sometimes she did strike. Once after gone through rain in Ayuthaya. The other after experiencing unexpected cold winter weather. She was in my backpack when I scaled to Kinabalu. She also did well when we chased wild dolphins in Lovina.

Sooo... why-oh-why do we buy a new one? Is this some sort of 'get rid the old-wrinkled wive for the younger-hot-sexy babe'? Maybe. Maybe.
But not to worry, we ain't gonna throw you a way my dear!

Almost Leia

My office held D&D last week. The theme was masquerade, each table was assigned with different type of mask. This was my first, so wasn't really sure how serious peeps took the given theme. When browsing for mask through the net, I found do-it-yourself Star Wars masks in kids' activity section in www.starwars.com
OK it wasn't me, it was my room mate that discovered it. But we found the site pretty cool, rite? Imagine when all my colleagues dressed up like those in Venetian Carnival, I will appear as Princess Leia (see pic of the mask). Die you Stormtroopers scumbag! Viva Rebel!
But at the end I didn't go as Leia. Chicken out. Ended up buying plastic jester mask from Concourse Plaza. Probably next time.
