It's cute - ugly but adorable!

To say that democracy exists in my house is akin to claiming that meritocracy prevails in Singapore.

A big fallacy.

My dad had nonchalantly said to us earlier that we can design our own rooms. Now, he decided to withdraw, or maybe he 'forgot', that offer and is leaving it all to the designer. He said to me "don't worry, it will be a pleasant surprise". Hmph. Better be.

I mean wokay, I'm not the one footing the bill ultimately but I will be the one who will be living in that room the next 5-6 years at least. Bleah.

My family is also hierarchical, just like how Singapore pretends it isn't patriarchal. It's appalling sometimes but we swallow it to preserve the peace and harmony. It's rojak, not melting pot; and it gets on my nerve. Boo. I should stop whining and talk about happier stuff like..

I got a new camera, Fujifilm FinePix F31 fd!
Thanks CS for his endless advice and having to bear with my constant i-know-it-is-good-but-why-is-it-so-ugly whinings.

He knows he is ugly. So don't make him sad anymore.


Me? I embrace it! You gonna give it to him really. I haven't got round to playing around with the settings. But based on my very limited and surface knowledge of aperture, shutter speed and iso (sorry I failed you, CS), I achieved this! (Yes, no post processing.)

I am not naked btw. It's a tube dress lar.

Nothing too amazing at 1st glance. But if you had seen how dark the room was, you'll be a convert too! We took this under extremely low light condition and the room looks damn bright lar. I swear the room is like 5 times darker than this. No flash either. I don't know how the photo can turned out like that.

I wished the photo can be brighter and more saturated though, like Canon. But wells, you can't have the best of both worlds. Canon probably cannot produce such a photo in the 1st place given such light condition.

You have to see how people rave about this cam. They make it sound like it is the best thing that ever happen to PnS cameras.

"Eeks, but it is uglyyy!"

Now I can flick my hair and say,
"Eeks, you are freaking shallow."

Heh. I am one happy girl. And CS, thanks loads once again!!! Buy you liang teh if you still don't recover by the next time I see you. Heh.


I need an attitude change.

Do you think you can use your charms and make Florence give Xiang the promotion if she decides by this week? Heh.

Or maybe I should talk to her since she thinks I am a 'mei nu'. Hahaha.

Anyhow, thanks so much! I am loving my Fuji!

(Also partly because I am an ex-Casio user and Casio is CMI lar.)
