The money has been paid. It is official.. I am going to hold my first, self-purchased camera in my hands next month. The greatest of all the point and shoot cameras ever! The venerable Canon G9. *round of applause*

Eyeing a canon g9 because of all the price drops that have been happening. Probably because the g10 coming out? Honestly, I think my camera is so beat up its gross. Haha.. but it still can be used. Oh man.. one thing I won’t get comfortable with is the lack of a 4×6 ratio.

I suddenly think I know why this feels so weird. I was thinking.. my life and behaviour hasn’t degraded much over the last few weeks, why am I suddenly feeling like I’m living in the valleys? I think.. I have seen the high road and boy is it high… this leads to feelings of dissatisfaction and inadequacy.

“If the Christian life is a burden to you, you’re living it in the flesh.” is what was said. “True.. true..” I thought but when I actually did live out that phrase its truth takes on a whole new dimension of true. Like, impossible true. True beyond what you can imagine but thats the whole point isn’t it? its impossible. How convenient!

I’m tired, its been a super long day. Got my laptop back, picked up some photos for my sister and went all the way to olympus service center without servicing the camera again. Oh man..  I’m so wishy washy, can’t decide to keep the C5050 or to just let it go.. I tried the canon G9 and the canon S5 IS. The G9 is like.. WHOA.. but at a cost of $820. The S5 is like.. lets just say after playing with the G9 the S5 is so much lesser of a camera even with double the zoom and quite a few similar functions at $630, totally not worth it. I’m still hankering for the G9 but as I took the train home and watched “Bridge to Terabithia” on my sister’s ipod (I put it there.. didn’t know what it was but now I think its a really nice show) I decided that this wasn’t such a super ultra important part of my life and I didn’t need these things. Tons of people in church and stuff with budget constraints who live with less came to mind. Though I have spare cash.. I guess I’ll just let william pay for this one (he dropped it in japan) and live with the c-5050 for as long as it will allow me to use it. Its service history is quite funny.

1. First servicing by me.. Dropped it while balancing it on the dummy plan in tamworth australia read the surrounding posts, they’re quite humourous. Lens got stuck in the out position.
2. Brother was using when the mode dial broke. It fell off by itself.
3. Ismet(bro’s friend) dropped it in norway, camera cannot focus, changed lens
4. William(my friend) dropped it in japan, camera cannot focus, changing lens

Haha..So there you go. The illustrious history of my camera. The lens changed a total of 3 times! haha.. I really really am very attached to it. Quite sian when William say it spoilt but he feel so guilty already so I never disturb him and was pretty laughy-ish about it.. I’ll just bill him. Shall drop by the service center next week before wednesday again. When I get quite serious about this I think I’ll be getting something from the canon G series. Perhaps second hand or older one cos then it’ll be cheaper. Who needs anything more than 12 megapixels???

Oh well, off to bed I go.
