Lomo cameras...

At this time last week, I placed an order for 2 cameras and some accessories. They are as follows:

The ActionSampler Flash

The Fisheye Circle Cutter
The Fisheye Number 2
The Ringflash

These arrived safe and sound on Monday, and I had quite some fun playing with them, although I have to say film is definitely not cheap. Yes, I'm playing with film cameras. I'm backwards. So? It's nostalgic to be using film again, and it's the heartache of not getting good pictures that makes you learn your lessons on light and shutter speed and aperture... Well, these cameras don't have a variable shutter speed or aperture. Haha!



Anyways, I discovered on Tuesday that my ActionSampler Flash is not working! So I quickly emailed the lomo people about it, hoping for an exchange or something. Today, I received this email:


Hi Kane,

It seams as if you camera is faulty!

We will exchange it.

As you are from Singapore it would be to expensive to send us back the camera.

So we would please you to destroy the camera in any way that makes fun to you and send us some pictures of it; so we can be certain that the camera really doesn’t work anymore.

Here you can see an example of an Australian fellow:

As soon as I get the pictures I will send out a new Action Sampler Flash for you!

PS. We are planning a special Lomo-destruction-Blog for next year, featuring all the funny pictures we got (from wrestling to BBQ…)


Sorry for the inconvenience.

Have a nice Day!

How cool is that?! Hahahaha! Such a rare opportunity to destroy something and feel good about it... haha! K, I might post some of those destruction pictures when I get down to it...

Oh wells...

Thinking of quitting Estee Lauder. I agree with Bingjun that it's no point working so hard there, rushing orders and scanning to the best of our abilities, completing orders fast, yet the others are just taking things slowly, playing, shooting rubber bands at each other, talking and slacking and smoking and toiletting (if there's such a word)... They not paiseh I also paiseh lor... Coz for me, if they don't do work, I can't do work coz I'm at the end of the line. I wanted to hint to Ashelyn (our boss) that I wanna quit, so I told her I had something on the entire week next week and couldn't come, hoping that she'd say my absence would be disruptive and terminate my employment. But she said it's ok, she'll just let my in-charge know... haha! What the hell...

Anyways, Mel's mum's office might have a vacancy. I don't mind working there for awhile since the pay is good... Too bad it's admin. Although I always say I hate admin, I never really did admin work before... so maybe this time if I do get a job there, I can prove to myself that I really cannot do admin work. Haha!


Love me if you dare... 23:43
