My New Toy to Play With


finally, finally its here. my new Canon IXUS 80IS Digital Camera is here. my baby. it is kinda funny if i think about it because i see everyone using digital cameras that are at least 5 mega pixels while my old camera was the Kodak Easy Share CX6330 model which only had 3.1 mega pixels and is 6 years old.

yes, that is how long I have used the camera, for about 6 years because I bought it back in Malaysia before I came over to Perth in 2004. at least now people don't have to come up to me and say: "Hey Thomas, please lar, go change your camera and get a more advanced one meaning the latest model".

bought my baby for a cheap price also. it was already on sale in Myer for $279.00 when i went on Saturday and I got another $40.00 off the price of the camera because I got two $20.00 Myer Gift Cards to use.

I also bought my 4GB Sandisk memory card from JB Hi-Fi using my $30.00 gift card that my boss gave me a few months ago. even though the total price of the memory card came to $38.00, i still saved $30.00 and only had to pay $8.00 which was the balance. how cool is that?

it seems technology is really crazy these days, everybody seems to be either buying or upgrading their mobile phones, digital cameras or computers to the latest model. it is something like "oh, if i don't buy the latest model, I am so going to be left behind man!".

the technology generation is here. speaking on technology, i just read the news this morning that Google is going to be releasing a new web browser to compete with Microsoft and is called Chrome. wow! having dominated the search engine market also not enough, they must come in and compete with Microsoft and Mozilla in terms of web browsers.

it just comes to show how competitive it is out there in the tech world. I cant wait to play with my new toy. hmmmmmmm, maybe i should try it out in cell group tomorrow night. should be fun.

oh well i am off to bed now, did not really sleep much the night before. need enough rest or else I am going to feel sleepy at work. adios amigos!
