my camera has arrived

Thursday 14th November 2007 ....

The day my long awaited camera arrived in my hands!! Whoop whoop!! One thing is... on top of the postage fees that I have to pay, I still had to pay taxes and handling fees when I went to the post shop to collect it. Argh! So in total, the camera costed me CAD 242.35. *sigh*. NZD315. So in the end, it probably came about the same price I would pay if I were to bought it in NZ, yes? No? But, no complains la... Loving the camera. It so happened to be Alicia's semi formal dinner hence I managed to use it right away!!

This is my new camera!! Canon Powershot SD1000, which is the same thing as IXUS 70.

First thing I did was to play with one of the features... damn cool wei! Make everything else black n white.. ehehehe.... am yet to master the skill!!

And then after my shower, getting all dressed up for the dinner.... I tried the portrait function (more like cam-whore because i haven't done it for ages!) ...

Again, not much make-up on because .... I don't know how to :S ... need my mummy la....But at least I did a good job hiding my warrior scar ... bwahahaha!!

After that, it was off to the semi formal dinner. It was actually a semi formal organized by the physiology students and Alicia, who's doing physiology invited us. Alicia is my family friend just in case I haven't mention it. It was $40. I thought it was going to be like a semi formal ball or something but it was just dinner. Food, it was alright. Nothing great. I think I could have had better dinner with that $40. Nevertheless, no regrets :) I get to say I've been to a semi formal, I get to dress up, take photos (since I didn't get to go to the ball this year!) and just chill out.

Just a few photos (taken with my NEW camera :p) ... more will be on facebook. Facebook much easier to upload pics :p


Now now, how often do you get to see me with a plate of veges? Ok, fine... i did not finish eating it. I did eat 3/4 of it tho!

Now this plate.. this plate I finished. Apart from the capsicums... NZ steak still better.

And that.. that's us 4 girls. 2 physiology students (Vivien, Alicia) + 2 intruders (1 sports science student i.e. Me, 1 engineering n management student i.e. evangeline)
