Olympus SW 1030

Finally, i've got my very own digital camera. Previously, i never thought of having one coz all pictures can be snapped thru my handphone. Then, i realize 2 megapixels on my Nokia phone is simply not gud enuf when it comes to the need for high quality images. So, here's my new gadget! Presenting......OLYMPUS SW 1030!!!!

i've chosen the black one....

here's the silver one...

Waterproof (up to 33FT)

Freezeproof (-10 degree Celcius)

Other features:-

Shockproof (6.6FT)

Crushproof (100 kg)

10.1 Megapixels

Wide-Angle Zoom Lens

Hypercrystal LCD

Face Detection

Shadow Adjustment

Digital Image Stabilisation

Built-in on screen manometer

Perfect Fix

Free 4GB memory

I have to admit i love Sony DigiCam too....it's really hard to make up my mind which one to choose btween Sony & Olympus... Sony's design is eye-catching while Olympus is a specialist in this product. I wanted both if possible but not now...haha..Somehow, I've decided to buy Olympus! Just cant wait to snap more photos at Sydney!!!!

plaudits & critics

not everyone in this world will cherish every success u achieve, even the ones who r near 2 u. Once, someone has an outstanding achievement where no one else could have achieved and very rare if there is. When U fail to impress, people says it's a failure but when u do, they direct it to sheer luck. something like this, "Lucky onli maa....he where got so clever. Parents oso lowly educated maa". Sounds common eh??

Many ppl will envy the success yet there's still plenty who'll simply try 2 pour cold water on U. Some may even splash out critics on U in pursuit of satisfaction for their jealousy. Nevertheless, they'll continue to disbelieve every other roaring success dat u succeeded. All these ill feelings can only be best associated with "Jealousy". Why?? The answer is so simple. It's simply bcoz they can't get themselves up 2 the par where U have been to. Ever heard of this phrase :- " wolf/fox dat doesnt get to eat grapes will say the grape is sour" ???

In fact, they havent been able to sense the sweet smell of success coz they never put in their 100%. What makes us distinctive from the rest goes down 2 our effort. If u have the talent, it's still not enuf. it requires constant & continuous effort. This is the key to win plaudits from all critics....

it's gonna be 16th of FEB!!!

Finally, jpa called me up & informed bout the departure date.. it's 16th!!! juz few more days to go!!! yet, i havent been doin any packing laa... i'm so unprepared to fly. it seems too soon but time never waits & it's never enuf. Even if i'll depart at the end of diz month, surely by dat time i'll say the same thing as I do now.

& dat 20kg limit for the luggage is simply not sufficient for sumone like me. I bet everyone feels the same. By the time i put in all my clothes added with the weight of the luggage itself, it's already approaching 16 kgs!! Plus, hangers and toiletries have yet to be counted in alrite! ARRGGHH!! dun care laa... juz cut all my clothes into half laa...toothpaste oso squeeze half of them out laa... toothbrush broke it into two and bring the part wit brush laa... All this can be learnt from Mr. Bean's movie if u watch em.

Tonnes of things to be done & i only have 5 days remaining and it's only 4 excluding the last day!! I havent got my hair cut, havent close my bank account, havent do this havent do dat.... the list is never ending....and i HAVE time blogging....errr, shud stop here...

how am i supposed 2 feel ?!!!?!!!

look here, it's now 2 sth in the morning... i'm turning into an owl pretty soon, i'm hunting for food at diz moment. coz i'm hungry... dat's incorrect. it's simply coz i juz cant sleep. not even a single bit of tiredness nor sleepiness. wat am i supposed 2 do?? watch astro programmes?? nope, it's simply too boring especially weekdays coz there's no soccer. play games?? again NO, i've played em all. read books?? NEVER, i dun read novel & i only read newspaper(sports section only plz)

hrrm.. i was told dat i'll receive a call from JPA 2day regarding my departure to USYD.. were previously told bout our delay but confirmation will be made by 2day. let's juz hope there'll b some gud news. talking bout departure, my nerves juz seem unfazed & i dun even bother to move a muscle 2 pack. maybe it's juz bcoz i dunno when i'll depart juz yet. until then, all my overseas stuffs will remain motionless.

i've acquired almost everything i needed:- cargo & cabin luggage, clothes, toiletries, digital camera, credit card, stationeries, etc... i think i've spent a huge sum of cash here & there... hopefully, there's nothing more..

Am i feeling excited bout goin 2 USYD?? i juz cant xplain how it feels... of coz it's nice to stamp ur feet into the oldest Uni in Aust but on the other hand, it's always hardest to carry our feet & leave our HOME... it's such a mixed & unexplainable emotions. for the last 2 decades, i'm here beside mum, dad, sis, bro & all the relatives. now, i simply hv 2 face the reality of living in another continent way far & far away from all these people.

for these few days, surely this fact will pop up in my mind thousand times daily till the day i depart..
